Chapter 939: Time Back
The Eye of Kronos, transformed by the divine power crystallization left behind by the god of time, Kronos, after his death, has the powerful power to manipulate time, and is an out-and-out artifact.
Given the player's classification habits, the Eye of Kronos is enough to reach the top of the Legendary category by stopping at the time alone.
However, the Eye of Kronos has another ability that is a bit less remarkable than the usual time stop.
Go back in time.
In layman's terms, it is to go back in time, which allows you to reverse time within a certain range and return to the 'past'.
Sounds pretty good, but in the face of a strong enemy, as long as he activates time rewinding, he can turn into a juvenile with no ability to resist, or even directly turn into liquid.
But how can there be such a good thing, otherwise An Yizhi would have used it as a common means a long time ago.
Soon after he got the Eye of Kronos, he found a place in the windmill plain outside the city of Amen to test the effect of time rewind with monsters, and the result was that time rewind was useless for any living creatures, and I don't know if there were any unexplained restrictions, at least as long as they were creatures, time rewind could not affect them, including plants.
This greatly reduced the usefulness of the skill, and he experimented with the two-faced and the mutilated magic items that Hela had eaten in half, and it was concluded that the effect had no effect on equipment or strange objects.
In addition, the time backtracking is marked with a warning by the system in red font below, and the indiscriminate use is likely to lead to unknown effects, which may cause a special scene of lying down, and the consumption is not low, and it is very difficult to control, so An Yizhi almost forgot about this skill.
But now is a good time to use it, as long as the murals in the room are restored to their pre-damaged condition. Anyway, there is no other way to stand like this, so it is considered an experiment.
An Yizhi first let Hela hide in the dimensional pocket, although time rewind will not affect the creature, but Hela as an alchemy creature is not much different from the essence of 'items', in case it is broken down into a pile of metal fragments or even ore, then it will really want to cry without tears.
Then An Yi pointed out that he also stood outside the room and activated the skill.
It's easy to select the range, and after the skill is activated, there is an extra white box in front of him, and you can use awareness and gestures to control the size of the box to delineate the range of action, and the larger the range, the higher the cost.
The reason why this thing is warned by the system accounts for a large part of the estimated range.
An Yizhi had tested the extent of what this thing could affect, and the result was......
No result.
To be precise, there is no limit to the scope of this thing, and An Yizhi even doubts that it can cover the entire Dosu, or even the entire multiverse world, once activated, the multiverse world can be regressed to the Stone Age!
Of course, even if it can be covered, there is not so much magic to activate.
Circle the range, and Ann fingers slowly inject magic power.
The pupils of Kronos's eyes floating beside him lit up, and the brilliant divine power burst out from the stone ball the size of a tennis ball at that moment, which usually looked like a somewhat strange magical item, but when it showed its ability, people could clearly realize that it was an artifact.
As the divine light unfolded, the picture in the room began to change.
At first, it was not very noticeable, except for a hazy mist floating in the air in the room, and then a pile of rubble in the corners of the floor could be seen floating up, backwards back to their respective positions.
And, it's getting faster and faster!
This is not something that An Yizhi can control, in his field of vision, the system provides him with an auxiliary display function to control the time backtrack, marked with the backtracking time/s.
But the unit of time for backtracking is not fixed, sometimes it shows 1 second, sometimes it shows 1,000 years!
The magic power slipped away as quickly as a flood that opened the floodgates, and in just three or five seconds, Kung Fu An felt that the magic power in his body had dropped by more than half of his fingers, and the consumption far exceeded the effect of the full power radiation of the magic rays, so he could only have such a large magic power output when he used the shelling mode.
The rubble in the room had returned to the walls, and An Yizhi could see the vague layer of fog in the air gradually dissipate, as if a pair of invisible hands had accurately put together each piece of the puzzle.
He hurriedly interrupted the effect of time rewinding, and if he started again, he would be drained.
Fortunately, although it is impossible to precisely control the time backtracking, at least the interruption effect can be free to do as you like, otherwise An Yizhi will definitely be drained.
Take a long breath:
"What a fierce horse......
The essence of the above factors is that An Yizhi himself is a mortal, he does not have the godhead of the god of time, and of course he cannot perfectly control this artifact belonging to the god of time.
Of course, even if it is not perfectly controlled, the effect of time backwind is not compromised at all.
The room was completely different from before, and An Yizhi saw that the exquisite stone carvings that were originally scattered all over the ground had returned to their original appearance 10,000 years ago, and compared to the remaining rough appearance, there was now a layer of color like gilding on it, making the whole room shine with golden light under the illumination of the light spell.
Theoretically, the gilding of the whole room will cause a very dazzling nouveau riche sense of sight, but the wonderful thing is that An Yizhi does not have that feeling, but feels very exquisite, I have to say that the ancient elves do have the uniqueness of a high civilization in terms of aesthetics.
An Yizhi walked into the room and looked around......
— and then had to turn to Hela.
No, he couldn't read the words of the ancient elves.
In other words, the ability to go back in time should be good to use to restore cultural relics, provided that An Yizhi is not excited to turn the cultural relics back into raw materials.
Hela poked her head out of her dimensional pocket and looked at the picture on the wall in front of her.
Most of the words of the ancient elves are illustrated and textual, and different pictures with different words have different meanings, which is really troublesome.
"What's written on it?"
"First, emergency escape routes must not be used for non-emergency situations."
It sounds like an employee code.
It is said that this habit of the ancient elves has caused a lot of trouble to many scholars who have studied them in later generations, and the scholars still think that the murals engraved on the wall are important knowledge, and they have studied it day and night, and finally got this thing is actually an employee handbook, propaganda slogans, precautions, and a bunch of things that make people speechless......
"Second, uh......"
Hela paused for a moment and continued:
"Second, don't treat the method of opening the emergency passage as a game."
An Yi fingered: "......"
How idle the ancient elves are!
For those who are not familiar with these guys, everything about the Elder Elves is incomparably mysterious and incomparably lofty. But as long as you go to the ruins of the ancient elves a few more times, you will know that these tall and tall guys are actually idle ......
"Forget it, you better say the conclusion."
Hela stared at the wall from top to bottom, then said:
"The way to open the emergency passage is in this room."
"Do you need to find out what it is?"
"Well, this thing should be similar to the Door of Trials, but it's just a variant."
I hope there are some hints elsewhere, if it's all this kind of useless employee handbook, wouldn't Lao Tzu waste so much magic in vain?
Leaving the wall near the entrance to the emergency exit, Ann turned to the front, the one facing the console.
The stone carvings on this wall are similar to the other parts, all of them are a layer of gold color, the difference is that the patterns are different, at least in An Yizhi's opinion.
"What's written on it?"
"There's nothing written on it, it's just a pure decoration."
“……”
"Master, do you come closer, and notice the spiral symbol that is at eye level with you?"
"You say this?"
At about the height of Ann's finger, there was a spiral-shaped bowl on the wall.
"That's it, press it."
Anyway, it was Hella who pressed it, so there shouldn't be any danger.
An Yiyi reached out and touched the symbol, barely using much force, only to see the feeling of the stone under the symbol collapsing, which was indeed very much like a button.
Immediately he saw that the patterns on the front wall were reversed like blinds, and replaced by different patterns.
"It's a trick of the Elder Elves, they don't like timeless decorations, so they designed this one to present a completely different picture every time they press it."
An Yizhi automatically interprets this passage as a computer-like screensaver......
I pressed it twice in a row, and this time something different appeared.
The pattern on the wall is composed of six squares, each of which is dotted with numbers and divided into a nine-square grid.....
"Sudoku?"
He reached out and touched the grid of the nine-square grid, and the number 1 lit up at the place where he was touched, and changed from 1 to 2 after touching.
"Probably the meaning of unlocking Sudoku to get a hint?"
"I guess, the Elder Elves love this type of thing."
After all, they are idle and can only pass the time by playing intellectual games.
Sudoku is not that difficult, especially for those who play it regularly, and there is a set of solutions specifically for solving Sudoku questions. And although there are six Sudoku on the wall, they are all classic nine-square grid structures, strictly speaking, this is just the difficulty level of elementary school students in the Celestial Empire, and even intellectual mobile games will be used to meet the nine-palace questions.
Of course, this level of difficulty was not difficult for Ann, and it only took him a few minutes to fill in all the numbers.
Such a simple question is not like the style of the ancient elves, and such a simple question from those guys with explosive intelligence always makes An Yizhi feel wrong.
When he filled in all the numbers, the six Sudoku questions lit up with a strong white light, and An Yizhi hurriedly waited for it, worried about any danger.
As a result, the light condensed into a line, and six thin lines of white light shone under the console, leaving a string of characters there like a laser etching, and then the light disappeared, and the pattern on the wall automatically changed into a purely decorative pattern.
An Yizhi waited for a few seconds, and saw that there was no other movement, so he squatted under the console with Hela and asked:
"What's written on it?"
"Click below for details."
