My Space-Time System

After completing all the purchases he could, Maximus began making his way to the different orphanages in Echovale.

On his way, he gave out food and blankets to the vagrants shivering and hiding from the rain in the alley.

'As long as those at the head are not taken out, giving them food is just a temporary solution to their problems. However, the hope is that they survive long enough to leave the cycle and join the fight to change it.' Maximus said to himself as he moved under the rain without getting wet.

Three hours later, he had visited almost all the orphanages he had marked out. All that was left was one more, and he would make his way out of the city.

With ease, Maximus snuck into the room of the matron and left a dimensional amulet containing all he had bought for the orphanage and also a letter warning them not to misuse them.

'Time to return.' Maximus said to himself, but as he left the Matron's room, he sensed danger.

'It would be unfair to bring danger upon these people, I need to go as far away as possible.' Immediately, Maximus took off while sending an emergency signal to the Masked Man.

…

The moment Maximus had sent out the emergency signal to Dorian, he had in turn informed Blake who immediately appeared at the hideout.

"Was he on a mission? How did he get caught?" Blake asked as he arrived.

"No, he was on one of his charity runs…" Dorian replied as he continued to stare at the screen.

"Charity runs?" Blake was confused.

"Amongst all of them, Maximus is one the most unique…" Dorian began quickly explaining Maximus' story.

'Damn…' Blake felt touched by the story and at the same time felt a need to save him. As an Ash Corps general, he had read the files of all members of the League; the files only listed all their atrocities, but contained little to no information about their backgrounds and the catalyst for their switch.

"Why haven't people been deployed to save him?" Blake asked with urgency in his tone.

"The presence of a strike team means this was a well-thought-out plan. So the councillors are surely waiting in ambush for those that would try to save him." Dorian explained.

Apart from that, the area where the battle was currently taking place was sealed by a space stabilizer which prevented Dorian from directly extracting Maximus. Still, it didn't stop anyone from warping in. It was clear as day that this was a trap.

"You are stronger than them, you should go." Blake said but he soon realized the reason he was still here.

"Just like you realized, they should have also set a trap for me too. My guess is that it is Cinder himself waiting to strike the moment I appear." Dorian shook his head as he was not confident in taking on 5 Battle Angels at once in their home ground.

"Are you saying we should let him die just like that?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

"Apparently, there is nothing we can do." Dorian let out a long sigh as his mask hid the sadness his face failed to conceal.

"Let me go." Blake said with a determined expression on his face but received an incredulous look from Dorian.

"They wouldn't expect to see me, and even if I am not able to complete the mission, I can get out of there at any time." Blake explained.

"You are crazy but you have a point." Dorian said with renewed hope as he carefully thought of this and tried to formulate a plan quickly.

"I will support you with a shadow clone, but try not to get captured cause Dad is going to kill me." Dorian said as his shadow split in two and one materialized into an exact replica of him.

"Ready when you are." Blake said as he took out Ebony and Ivory from his dimensional pocket.

Immediately an array formed around him and instantly warped him 80 meters above the battle ground.

Dorian's shadow appeared closer to the battle, drawing the attention of Aurelius Frostborne and Cedric Blackthorn who were forced to come out of their hiding spots and meet him.

Dropping from the sky, Blake threw Ebony and Ivory in front, and when he got to 50 meters he opened a spatial tear right in front of him.

BOOM!

Ebony and Ivory crashed in the midst of the battle garnering everyone's attention, including that of Luciano and Castiel.

"Blake is here!" They said in unison as they began scanning the battleground.

Not too long after, a spatial tear appeared behind one of the Demigods in the strike team causing her to turn her attention to it.

BANG!

As she turned in preparation to attack Blake when he exited the spatial tear, Ebony's spinning fiery body slammed into her from behind.

Out of the spatial tear came 3 void daggers that flew in different directions causing panic to those in their path.

Just like expected, 3 spatial tears opened up, but what they didn't expect was a force that pulled them toward the spatial tear.

Almost instantly, the 3 Nascent realm demigods, broke free from the pulling force, but hundreds of spells from Ebony and Ivory rained down on them.

"Shit!" Castiel was frightened by how much damage Blake had dealt to fellow demigods without even appearing!

The strike team consisted of 6 demigods and the two of them. With Blake's appearance, they had subconsciously switched from offence to defence.

In turn, the pressure on Maximus had greatly reduced, giving him a little time to breathe. However, he knew that as long as he wasn't directly warped out of the city he wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the Synder Empire.

'Keep those 4 busy while I take care of these 2.' Blake instructed Ebony and Ivory as he finally stepped out of a spatial corridor.

With lightning reinforcement active, Blake dashed toward the demigod from the royal family who was still unleashing golden flames at Maximus.
