I'm not a hero, but I didn't say I couldn't beat you.

"What? You said Hearts is in this???"

The investigators found Ful, who collapsed after the duel with Owens, and then brought him to a temporary base on a fleet more than three hundred miles away from the "Dislocated World".

After being forced to rest by someone, Ful woke up after 6 hours of sleep and met Milani.

She also dispatched to this place from the combat base in the rear.

Then Fu'er learned of the current situation.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! The amount of information is a bit overwhelming. Please let me slow down."

Fu'er rubbed his brows, quickly sorted and classified the large amount of information just now, and extracted the most critical points.

"Hartz activated a prop to lock himself, [Gaia] and Owens in the so-called [Dislocated World] to prevent the other party from continuing to seize the world and create hell. That is the one far away from us. It’s a huge sphere isolated by a hazy barrier, right?”

"Well, that's right."

Milani nodded while looking at the reports and information in her hands.

"What about Harts? He is inside...still fighting [Gaia]? After all, what is [Dislocated World]?"

"We cannot observe the internal situation. It is not because we do not have this ability, but this is a necessary condition to ensure the integrity of the [Dislocated World] seal, blocking observations from external observers. And the so-called [Dislocated World]... …”

"Let me explain—"

Another man walked in from outside the ship's room.

It's Blake.

"I gave that prop to Hartz, not to mention that the thing itself is a joint product of our shelter and the Atlas Institute, so naturally it will be more clear for me to explain it, isn't it?"

Milani was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I'm glad to see you weren't seriously injured, Ful. I have to say you completed your mission well."

"But the mission isn't over yet, so there's no need for polite words. Let's just get some information."

Fu'er shook his head, seemingly not caring about the combat technique of bluffing Owens away.

After all, you just bluffed the opponent, not directly outed him.

"Okay, let me explain briefly. First of all, Harts is indeed still fighting [Gaia] inside. There is no need to observe this, because the prop he used is called a strange object, and the existence it created And the effect needs someone to maintain it. So as long as we can still see the existence of that giant ball, it means that Hearts is still fighting his enemy."

Fu'er turned his head and looked at the giant ball in the distance through the window on the ship. He stared for a long time, trying to see clearly what was happening behind the fog.

"That is to say...as long as this is still there, it at least means that Hartz is still alive, right...how long can he last?"

He had slept for 6 hours, which meant that Harts had also been fighting inside for 6 hours.

Although he has never seen the opponent fighting with all his strength, his opponent... is an existence rated as SSS level.

In this situation, it has lasted for 6 hours?

But... how long can he last?

long time? Three hours? Or in the next moment, this so-called [dislocated world] will shatter in front of him.

Then... saw the other party's body.

If there are still corpses...

"Are you worried about Harts?"

"Who is worried about that guy! I just..."

In his peripheral vision, Fu'er seemed to see Milani's tightly clenched hand hidden behind the paper of the report.

"I'm just worried about how to explain this matter to the children in the orphanage...and...some people in the worst case scenario."

It seems that he is not the only one who is worried about Hartz.

Yes, after all, although that guy talks about torturing people, you have to admit that he is an outstanding [hero].

"Oh, I'm sorry that my explanation was not complete, which may have caused you and Miss Milani a little misunderstanding."

Blake patted his head and pointed to the ball in the distance.

“What do you think [dislocation] means in the so-called [dislocation world]?”

"dislocation……"

Fu'er thought for a moment and then replied:

"Isn't it a spatial dislocation?"

"No, not really."

Blake shook his head and continued.

"It is difficult to achieve spatial dislocation, especially when the world is being eroded by the other party, so the dislocation here is not space, but another existence that can be said to be of the same personality."

Blake took out a small box from his arms. After a series of verifications, the container was opened, and a crystal with a light yellow star flash inside was displayed in front of the two of them.

"This is... [stagnant time crystal]?"

Within three seconds of seeing this crystal, Fu'er remembered its name.

Because he also has a piece of the same thing.

"Yes, it is the same as the one you are holding. They are both disposable items left over from the use of the [Reverse Crystallization Pocket Watch]. However, the one I have in my hand does not come from Ousreli. Your Excellency’s sacrifice is an even longer-lasting event.”

After the presentation was complete, Blake put the crystal away and continued.

"What Harts uses is a special prop made from this raw material, commonly known as a numbered strange object."

"In short, its principle is to use the dislocation of time to isolate the space within the coverage area from the outside world. The method of causing the dislocation is to operate on the imaginary time axis. Anyway, to put it simply, the inside and outside The flow rate of time is not the same."

While putting away the container that held the [Stalled Time Crystal], he slapped another long, black, rectangular object on the table.

Well, it's actually just a clock.

"The conversion ratio is that 1 hour inside is equivalent to 1 day outside. And the designed service life of that strange object is 5 hours."

The clock shows the remaining time.

113H:21M:17S

In other words, Harts still needs to resist Gaia inside for more than 4 hours.

"Is that so..."

Although the fighting time is still long, it is at least much better than the original empty feeling of being far away.

Milani seemed to feel a little more at ease, at least Ful could see that the other party relaxed a little.

Even a five-hour battle is not optimistic.

After all, Harts is only an S-level, not an SS-level, and certainly not a name seeker.

"Next, there is a battle notice from the Federation. In 5 hours, Gaia will be expelled from this world by cutting the world. The estimated time required for the project is 4 days, which is a very limited time. Once Haha If Ci fails to last for 5 hours, this plan will be invalid. Therefore, your administration has given another half-finished plan."

"What plan?"

"Find a way to restrain [Gaia] for 10 minutes, and then the border inspection team will send it to the border. The current plan to trap the opponent is to use a numbered containment object to execute it."

"……………………"

"So, you know the cost, and therefore, Harts hopes that you will find another solution, a solution that can be perfectly solved."

Ful fell silent.
