Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1599 447: The Final Battle (5) (Final Countdown: 3)
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
"Tributaries all merge into the great river, boundless potentials arising from a limited origin."
"You've already lost!"
In a flash, spurred by these words, its aura and shape completely morphed.
Achieving mythical rank, it swiftly evolved from Cold Cosmos Dream Spirit to Time Gap Spirit.
As its power surged upward, the opposing Time Master's strength kept dropping steadily.
Alterations to the past pulled all events back toward the initial timeline.
Slight differences lingered, yet the vital shift stayed unaltered.
Victory's balance tipped instantly!
"No! What have you done! Impossible!"
Flooded by a rush of sudden memories, the Time Master felt stunned and horrified, unleashing a savage bellow.
Even worse came the echoes of myriad shrieks and cries from its alternate selves spanning various time branches!
Qiuqiu's declaration resounded through innumerable timelines.
"The same words, returned to you!"
"Through countless timelines, I'll slay you!"
"Slay you now! Slay you later!"
"Henceforth, no present or future for you!"
"No!"
The Time Master wildly thrashed and howled, its dread power warping time as it summoned endless versions of itself from myriad timelines, yet its presence crashed amid endless laments, ultimately vanishing into void, totally eradicated!
Its core principles shattered entirely, restoring the Seven Kings' halted time to normal flow.
Their abilities stayed intact, merely freed from bonds.
The Time Master, defeated!
"It's finished!"
Qiuqiu roared skyward, glancing toward far-off battlegrounds.
These fights, once deadlocked, now tilted variously due to Qiuqiu's past reversal.
Qiuqiu's amplified might in history motivated its allies, sparking varied advancements via rivalry.
This revised history looped back to shape the current moment.
Forging a fresh reality.
...
Within the prime timeline.
Qiuqiu, back from its journey, confronted the Time Master atop the mending temporal river, healed by vast time-space energies.
Staring at its injured foe, Qiuqiu's eyes held a faraway look.
Forces wiping memories had scarred them too.
But thanks to Immortality, unlike the Time Master stripped of all recollections, Qiuqiu faintly recalled prior events.
In that final instant, a spark of insight came: harnessing past strength briefly for its alternate self across time.
Now returned, Qiuqiu abruptly remembered something key.
It was a vision glimpsed upon selecting the Eternal Stone, choosing ultimate evolution via Eternal Stone and Return to the Secret Realm.
There, its future form gazed encouragingly, seemingly urging confirmation of the choice.
Time's weave proved far more enigmatic than thought.
In that instant, this realization deepened its grasp of the Time Skill.
Briefly, it slipped into an ethereal trance.
"Die!"
Ferocity blazed in the Time Master's eyes, hungry for slaughter.
Memories purged by time-space corrections, the Time Master's recall froze at Time's Heart's explosion.
For unknown reasons, the presumed Cosmic Sovereign self-blast's energy faded, though ample power lingered.
Spotting the stunned Cosmic Sovereign, the Time Master seized its final shot at reversal!
Then, wielding Time's Heart's remnant force, it outmatched the Cosmic Sovereign!
Suddenly, the Time Master channeled every ounce into its world-shattering claws, launching its lifetime pinnacle assault at Qiuqiu.
Dreadful might quaked the heavens and earth; the temporal river quivered fiercely, teetering toward ruin from this onslaught.
This assault marked the Time Master's zenith in its supreme ascent!
This blow could rend time and space!
Against this devastating strike that could erase it, Qiuqiu's dazed face cleared step by step, showing a trace of grin and ease.
Next instant, it casually raised a paw, effortlessly quelling the Time Master's fury.
"Boom!"
Fearsome shockwaves swept all time-space; whirlpools formed slowly in the temporal river's chaos, approaching fresh breakdown.
Time-space's auto-fix activated, descending quietly again.
But prior to action, Qiuqiu's fading energy sealed and patched the time rift.
"You..."
Beholding Qiuqiu stand firm like bedrock under its doomsday blow, the Time Master's features flickered with stupor and confusion.
Sensing the laws now emanating from Qiuqiu, confusion swiftly became shock and incredulity.
"You... broke through?"
"Yes, I broke through," Qiuqiu replied steadily.
Amid time-space's nexus, its laws advanced from fresh mythical rank to a further minor realm.
Their power disparity yawned like sky and soil.
"Heh..." The Time Master issued a bitter chuckle.
It perceived the unbridgeable gulf in strength.
Gone was its former haughtiness.
"I am unwilling..." it murmured, then its form dissolved into nothing the next breath.
Qiuqiu's breakthrough blow demolished it, already spent.
Arcane time energies traced causality lines, flooding the temporal river instantly to scrub the Time Master's remnants.
In present and tomorrow, no traces of the Time Master remained; across all sights, an occult force wiped it from being.
But the past...
Qiuqiu peered upriver along the temporal flow, its thoughts echoing the Time Master's final reluctance.
Complexity flickered in its gaze.
Blue Planet's truths exposed God Martial's history as flawed.
Beast Tamers' views on pet beasts mirrored humans' toward exotic beasts.
History births today's fruits.
Erasing the Time Master's past would blot it from every mind.
None would recall the Time Master or glean wisdom from this disaster.
"Preserving your past as a caution to all life."
Qiuqiu retained the Time Master's upstream existence, reentering God Martial's tangible realm.
Observing concluding battles and its comrades, Qiuqiu's prior grandeur and godly detachment softened, its face animating warmly.
"I won this inter-team match!"
