Chapter 516 Shattered Watch
It was as if the sky was falling, and the witch was crashing headfirst into the descending, gloomy ceiling.
The frozen pointer below did indeed create a gap in the operation of the spacetime storm.
But this change immediately triggered a chain reaction.
As Hermione soared into the sky, atop the clockwork hill, lay the shriveled bird egg within the bell-shaped crystal dome.
The dissipating white light suddenly stopped, and then the eggshell cracked, from which a small, pitch-black snake, resembling rotten mud, emerged.
It looked around at the stopped clocks with a bewildered expression, seemingly surprised that its deep sleep had been disturbed.
Immediately afterwards, it looked up and saw the Finger Witch flying upwards.
With an inaudible hiss, the black serpent shattered the crystal dome and charged toward Hermione.
It exuded the power of time, and although it was not flying fast, it approached the witch in a very short time.
"Danger!"
The great wizard's intuition was warning him.
Fortunately, with the pause of the time storm, the force that pulled and slowed down time no longer manifested, and she was able to react quickly.
The fluorescent blue sapphire cannons unleashed their full power, while various magical spells were continuously fired at the pitch-black snake.
But these attacks were meaningless; all magic that came near it became extremely slow and was easily bypassed.
The changes weren't limited to this small snake; around the trial chamber, the colorful and chaotic slices of time also began to tremble.
Seemingly due to the stagnation of the spacetime storm, these timelines, which were originally excluded from the trial chamber, began to collapse inward.
The first to suffer were those high and mighty judges, followed by the frozen mountain of clocks.
Those cracks, representing different timelines, easily sliced apart seats and clocks.
Immediately afterwards, a pitch-black, abyss-like black hole appeared in the center of what was originally the courtroom.
That was the power released simultaneously by countless broken clocks!
Like dominoes falling, the surrounding time slices all squeezed towards the center in an instant, and the huge inertia brought about a pulling force that was almost as strong as a spacetime storm.
Hermione dared not delay, unleashing her full magic to accelerate upwards, while the black snake relentlessly pursued, slowly approaching O.
"It's running for its life too!?" The little snake didn't seem to be a real living being, but it still had the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. At this moment, it didn't even care about the witch who was so close to it anymore; it just wanted to rush upwards as quickly as possible.
Hermione's accidental intrusion seems to have disrupted the delicate balance in the courtroom, completely destroyed her home, and triggered a chain of disasters that are even more terrifying!
The Great Collapse has begun!
The man and the snake tried their best to fly upwards, but even though the ceiling was rapidly descending, no matter how they flew, they always maintained an awkward distance that was neither too close nor too far, always just a little bit short.
The relationship between space and time is bizarre and complex. Hermione is currently unable to use space travel and can only passively endure the effects of the chaotic time flow.
The suction from behind was getting stronger and stronger; if it had been any later, I probably would have been pulled back again.
Hermione glanced back at the dark, unlit hole, which strangely resembled the ancient darkness at the tip of her staff.
These two are not the same thing; one is a spacetime phenomenon, and the other is merely a simulation of nighttime magic.
However, at this moment, she doesn't mind using the gravity of the ancient darkness to help her escape the pull of time and space!
The runes at the top of the staff have been fully unsealed!
The dark celestial body suddenly appeared, swelling above Hermione's head to the size of a mountain; this was its true size.
A similarly powerful celestial body from another world began to display its power!
The gravity of the night pulled Hermione along, and she actually gradually broke free from the pull behind her.
"Not enough!"
As she thought this, dark purple runes flowed out as she waved her staff.
It's a runic translation of gravity magic!
Mysterious purple lightning bolts encircled the lightless celestial body, and an increasingly terrifying gravitational pull suddenly yanked Hermione upwards.
Now it seems there's hope of escape!
The black snake also saw what was happening. It struggled to swim and, using its own spacetime power, lunged forward and bit the end of Hermione's staff.
"It even hitched a ride!" The witch was both amused and exasperated.
With a massive, mountain-like dark sphere overhead, the situation improved for a moment, and they were rapidly approaching the ceiling of the ninth floor.
At this moment, the entire Department of Mysteries had stopped rotating. Through the large hole in the Time Hall, Hermione saw Adam again. He stood there, as steady as a statue.
But perhaps because the suction of the spacetime black hole below is gradually increasing, the area of collapse is also expanding.
The entire Department of Mysteries was now tilted in a spatial sense; all the rooms began to distort and slide toward the large hole in the Time Hall.
Even worse, the gravitational pull of the ancient darkness also applies to objects above.
Items belonging to the Upper Mysterious Affairs Bureau are being rapidly attracted.
No, it's not just the Department of Mysteries; it seems the entire Ministry of Magic has been affected, even those who were originally in the 7th...
The eight layers of brain jellyfish were all pulled over by this gravitational force.
It seems that Adam, who had been like a statue, suddenly saw Hermione appear out of nowhere because he had overcome some obstacle.
Along with it, there was also a pulling force sweeping across the flat ground in space.
The floor slabs are stacked in a parallel and curved manner, and the enclosed space originally formed by the walls and floor is now being lifted up like a rolled-up pizza.
In an instant, the vast starry sky simulated in the Planetarium, the countless faintly glowing crystal balls in the Prophecy Hall, the tables and chairs on the upper level, the bone dust of the dead wizards—all these things poured into the large hole in the Time Hall in a chaotic mess, as if an open box had been overturned.
Adam also sprang into action, shooting out several grappling hooks that secured him firmly in the rotunda, while simultaneously launching his right hand toward Hermione, with a long steel cable attached to his wrist.
However, due to the abnormal spacetime, his "helping hand" was never long enough and could only sway in the chaotic airflow of the Time Hall.
At this moment, the brains that had been attracted also approached. They waved their tentacles in vain, trying to grab onto the things around them, but they could not resist the attraction.
At this point, Adam, who had pinned himself to the ground, was targeted by them; first by one, then by three.
Five, a large number of brain jellyfish swam over, extending their mental tentacles, one by one wrapping around Adam's body.
The small robot unleashed numerous laser nozzles around its body, but the intensely hot beams of light did nothing to harm these spiritual beings.
In a matter of moments, the pale blue brain completely engulfed Adam. They swarmed and clung tightly to the robot to ensure they wouldn't be sucked away. High-energy lasers of various colors, red and blue, shot out from beneath them and passed through without obstruction, creating a surprisingly colorful and beautiful sight.
Meanwhile, the various odds and ends that were swept into the Time Hall danced wildly together with Adam's steel cable wrist in the unusual area, which was both small and infinitely expanding.
