Time returned to its normal flow rate.

"Crack!"

Wolverine had just turned around when he froze on the spot. He had no memory of why he was in this place, only that he had been bewitched by a Giant into lifting a strange Short Hammer, and then he had lost consciousness.

When he regained his senses again, he was already in this unfamiliar environment, with a completely unfamiliar, bloated, brass-colored Robot standing in front of him.

"Who are you?" Wolverine subconsciously extended his claw. "Why am I here?"

"You should ask yourself," Yang Le said, pointing to Wolverine's foot. "Why did you pick up that Hammer?"

Wolverine lowered his head and found that the strange Hammer was now broken into several fragments. If it weren't for the strange carving on them, he might have thought that these things at his foot were just stones commonly seen by the roadside.

Explanations have always been a time-consuming behavior, but fortunately, Yang Le had a simpler method.

The Clock King mechanism on Clock King's head began to rotate counterclockwise, and a light burst out from the Clock King mechanism, enveloping everything around it. Wolverine subconsciously protected himself with his hand, but after a while, he realized that he was not injured.

He looked up, intending to ask Yang Le what he was doing, but in that instant of looking up, he was stunned by the scene around him. Around him, several Frost Giants had appeared at some point.

In addition to the Frost Giants, there were also many human soldiers, who were engaged in a desperate battle with the Giants using various modern weapons, but the situation of the battle did not seem clear.

Wolverine was stunned by the scene that suddenly appeared before his presence. When he recovered, he found that a grenade was shooting towards his direction. At this distance, he didn't have time to dodge and could only rely on his body to withstand it.

The anticipated pain did not come. The grenade passed straight through Wolverine's body and then hit a Giant's leg, causing an explosion.

Wolverine then realized that everything around him was just an image, visible but intangible.

This was one of Clock King's abilities, replaying past events in the form of images. It was arguably the ability Yang Le used most often after becoming Clock King, because it was just too useful.

Apart from those great powers who are not affected by time, no one can hide secrets in front of Clock King.

However, despite saying he used it most often, the number of times Yang Le used this ability was actually very few. He only used it when he really couldn't find any clues, and most of the time he still wanted to use his brain more.

Yang Le didn't want to become the kind of person who, at critical moments, was urged by super wisdom to use super strength.

Although Wolverine mostly acted like a brute, he actually had a brain. He didn't need Yang Le to provide an explanation for him to understand what he was seeing.

This was all thanks to the grenade just now. At the landing point of the grenade, there was exactly a Giant's corpse whose leg had been blown off. The Giant in the image who was blown up by the grenade perfectly overlapped with the corpse on the ground, proving that the two were the same person.

It was mentioned before that Yang Le had not restored the corpses all over the ground, so when Wolverine watched the image, he could see countless pieces of evidence proving the authenticity of the image.

These bloody pieces of evidence impacted Wolverine's inner heart. He finally understood why he had lost consciousness before. Just like when he used to go berserk, this time he had lost reason again. His reason had been taken away by that Hammer.

He, codenamed Wolverine, was very afraid that he would also become the executioner who took away these people's lives. The reason Wolverine stayed away from the crowd was not only because he was afraid of being hurt by others, but also because he was afraid of hurting others himself.

But after watching the image, he breathed a sigh of relief, because he had been in a frozen state throughout the entire battle. He only got out of trouble when the Giant who had bewitched him died at the end of the battle.

As soon as he was free, he was immediately subdued by the Robot in front of him, and he had no opportunity to hurt anyone else at all. Just like a background character in a movie, with no impressive act.

But this was good.

"Understand?"

The image finished playing, and Yang Le also retracted the light screen. Sometimes he himself felt that Clock King, the King of Time, was more like a projector in his hand, and still the old-fashioned film type.

"Thank you," Wolverine retracted his talons. "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what else would have happened to me."

"It's nothing, helping you is also helping myself," Yang Le bent down and picked up the fragment of the Heaven Hammer on the ground.

He thought that this thing would be restored after being disconnected from the Great Serpent for a few seconds, but he didn't expect it to really turn into a pile of broken stone. Could it be that the Great Serpent stopped sending energy into it after realizing that something was wrong with the Heaven Hammer?

It wasn't impossible. Rather than using power on these disposable pawns, it would be better to cut losses in time and save it for the final real battle.

Yang Le picked up the Heaven Hammer fragment with doubts. Just as he was trying to ponder the thought of the Great Serpent, he discovered an even more shocking thing.

Time... seemed to have a slight fluctuation?

The fluctuation of time was coming from the Heaven Hammer fragment in front of him. Yang Le, who had become Clock King, was exceptionally sensitive to anything related to time.

Time itself is an invisible and intangible thing. The only way for normal creatures to observe time is to pay attention to the trace left by time, such as the series of problems brought about by the age increase of humans.

But time is also a closely connected thing, regardless of distance. As long as someone touches time, Yang Le will have a certain feeling.

Yang Le sensed something different in the fragment in front of him at this moment. After careful consideration, he discovered that the fragment in front of him seemed to represent the 'fruit' of something.

Karma, karma, first there is cause, then there is effect. This is an iron law that cannot be changed under normal circumstances, but now a situation of breaking the iron law has appeared.

It was mentioned just now that the order of karma is often unchangeable, but for those who control time, they can often first come into contact with the effect and then trigger the cause.

For example, right now, Yang Le was holding the effect of a certain business in his hand, and it goes without saying what this effect was.

There was only one effect that could be related to the broken Heaven Hammer of the future, and that was the death of the Great Serpent. After the Heaven Hammer lost its true master, it naturally turned into a pile of waste stone.

And now this effect was brought by Yang Le using Time Ray to the stage where the cause was still in progress, so what would happen?

Normally speaking, big things would happen, but as Clock King, Yang Le could fix this loophole, but there was one aspect that Yang Le could not fix.

That was the prophecy closely related to this karma.
