Fenrir struggled against the chaotic power that was eroding him from within, finding himself unable to escape or use his time abilities effectively. Ron, seeing Fenrir's deteriorating state and the risk of him turning the tables, decided to end the fight. He activated his [Pheromone Mark], causing time fragments to tear at Fenrir's timeline, further destabilizing his consciousness. Ron then unleashed his [Radiation Field] to absorb energy, replenishing himself before delivering a simplified, yet powerful, Gigaton Trio attack. The strike caused Fenrir to collapse and decompose into countless time fragments, which then coalesced into a dangerous, ruby-like crystal known as the [Fury Heart]. Ron's family warned him of the core's volatile and destructive nature.

The difficult experience of absorbing the "Core of Glimmer" provided him with valuable experience.

Danger and opportunity often coexist; the key is how to avoid risk and gain benefit.

He did not rush forward, but first unfolded the "Radiation Field."

This time, the goal was merely to create a relatively "clean" environment for operation.

The "devour" trait of the field was exerted to the extreme, absorbing all the scattered, unstable Magic Power and time ripples around.

This approach prevented the core from detonating prematurely due to external stimuli.

It’s like handling unstable chemical reagents; you must first eliminate all factors that could cause a chain reaction.

After creating a relatively safe environment, Ron took out the silver pocket watch and began to mobilize the residual power of the "Core of Glimmer."

A ribbon-like stream of rainbow-colored, dreamlike energy flowed from the pocket watch, gently enveloping the "Frenzied Heart."

Something wondrous happened.

Leila’s dreamlike aura, based on "illusion" and "memory," relatively orderly.

Like a sedative, it began to soothe Fenrir’s purely destructive, chaotic frenzy of power.

This calming effect was beyond imagination.

The frantically pulsating time fragments began to slow down, and the cracks on the core’s surface stopped expanding.

In the moment the "Frenzied Heart" was temporarily calmed, Ron decisively extended his hand, letting the dial of the silver pocket watch formally contact the core.

This time, although the process of absorption was still filled with intense pulling sensation, it was far smoother than last time.

The scenery beneath the watch dial became even more mixed.

The rainbow dreamlight and the deep red frenzy crystal began to slowly merge, forming an unprecedentedly strange combination.

While absorbing the "Frenzied Heart," Ron felt somewhat sentimental.

He recalled his first encounter with the hound during his Morning Star level, an absolute dead end.

The powerlessness, the despair, the humiliating escape, heavily injured and on the brink of death...

"If I had known at the time that this pocket watch had such powerful restraining ability..."

Ron gently caressed the silver pocket watch on his chest:

"I wouldn’t have ended up in such a pathetic situation."

However, under current circumstances, it seems like he has reclaimed the interest from back then.

[Warning: You are hunting a target "Time Hound - Fenrir (Remnant Soul)" that is approaching the current hunting limit]

[Current digestion progress: 1%... Estimated completion time: extremely long]

[After digestion is complete, you will have the opportunity to acquire and analyze part of the target’s core traits]

The "Frenzied Heart" was in hand, and correspondingly, Fenrir’s historical projection also entered a usable state.

To test the newly acquired combat power, Ron immediately attempted to summon Fenrir’s historical projection.

With a thought, a figure completely identical to Fenrir’s giant beast form appeared beside him.

This projection was composed of mechanical armor plates and a dark red crystal, with every detail perfectly replicating Fenrir’s frenzied form.

It was silent, with six scarlet eyes gleaming like jewels.

"Let’s test your abilities," Ron ordered.

Fenrir’s projection let out a silent roar.

The waves spread out from its center, like ripples caused by a boulder thrown into a pond.

The movement speed of all surrounding ruins and dust abruptly slowed, as if ensnared in viscous amber.

This is Fenrir’s unique ability: to create a field that fully slows down the enemy.

Within this field, the flow of time becomes extremely slow, significantly weakening any enemy’s attack, movement, or casting.

"What about the self-destruct effect?" Ron continued to test.

Of course, he wouldn’t actually let the projection self-destruct; he merely previewed the approximate power of the explosion through connection.

The energy inside Fenrir’s projection began to surge violently, simulating the state before self-destruction.

Ron "saw" the effect of the explosion -"Time Rend."

If it truly exploded, it would cause extensive, irreversible time erosion.

Targets caught in the explosion would be forcibly "rewinded" to a weaker state in the past, equivalent to an extremely domineering weakening technique.

However, it is ineffective against opponents with too great a power level difference.

"Quite a considerable combat power,"

He nodded with satisfaction, withdrawing the Fenrir projection.

The historical projections of two elite-level Time Hounds now formed a rather respectable fighting force.

With Fenrir’s core taken, this mental realm also lost its final energy source.

The collapse rate of the entire Alchemy Playground suddenly accelerated, crumbling like a building losing its load-bearing pillars.

Those amusement facilities once filled with laughter, the Ferris wheel, carousel, roller coaster... all disintegrated amid violent tremors.

"Quickly, get out of here! It’s going to collapse completely!" Aselia urged urgently.

She could feel the stability of the entire space rapidly diminishing.

If they didn’t leave now, they would sink into nothingness along with this collapsing playground.

Ron activated the wrench key he had obtained.

The key automatically flew out from his palm, hovering in front of the three of them.

Gentle golden radiance surged from the key.

Where the light reached, chaotic data streams were forcibly stabilized, forming a stable channel composed of pure light.

"Follow me!"

Ron picked up Aselia and, together with Nari, rushed into the tunnel of light.

Outside the tunnel was the apocalyptic scene of the playground’s complete disintegration into chaos.

The Ferris wheel plunged into the void like a cut kite, and the carousel’s ponies let out silent screams...

All that was once beautiful was reduced to nothingness in this collapse.

And at the end of the channel, the scene became even more bizarre and uncanny.

The direction of gravity, the concept of space, even the meaning of colors began to experience fundamental distortion...
