Time- 9:57

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

Wyatt found himself caught in a quandary as he came to the realization that his present strength fell short of the mark needed to vanquish Belphegor's formidable Worldhog incarnation. Truth be told, when Wyatt had chosen the twelve SSS-rank curses to infuse within his gigamite form, his intention had been to confront Matron and the regular demiG.o.ds from Morningstar University that would come to her aid. According to his original plan, his current power would have been more than sufficient to engage Matron and the typical demiG.o.d adversaries. However, it proved inadequate for the task of eliminating the devil Worldhog.

Adding to the predicament was the unfortunate fact that all the riches Wyatt had ama.s.sed from the mult.i.tude of card apprentices entering his VR Universe through the VR slime cards had been expended on procuring these precise twelve SSS-rank curses through the channels of the devil merchant code. Consequently, he found himself unable to acquire an alternative set of SSS-rank curses that could have been of a.s.sistance when confronted with Belphegor's menacing Worldhog incarnation. While Wyatt did possess a reserve of funds earmarked for dire circ.u.mstances, the current situation did not warrant such a label. He retained the option to escape if he so desired, but he remained committed to vanquis.h.i.+ng the devil rather than fleeing without securing a victory.

Recalling the image of the colossal humanoid pig cavorting amidst the tumultuous storm and molten lava, Wyatt shook his head in frustration. He struggled to devise a strategy that would allow him to navigate the intricate challenges posed by the trio of unique rule domains and reach Belphegor's immediate vicinity, all while aiming for the simultaneous destruction of the three essential cores. Now this was just too d.a.m.ned challenging considering the set of twelve SSS-rank curses at his disposal.

Engaging his Soul pupils, Wyatt's eyes emitted a luminous gleam, intensifying as he concentrated his gaze to penetrate the barriers of the three rule domains. His intent was to clandestinely observe Belphegor's actions and discern his current intentions. Given Belphegor's previous responses, it was reasonable to antic.i.p.ate that he would be driven to a state of frenzy upon realizing the ineffectiveness of his attacks in terminating Wyatt.

Yet, Wyatt's observation yielded a surprising revelation. Contrary to his antic.i.p.ations, Belphegor wasn't exhibiting erratic behavior; instead, he adopted a facade of scouring the lava for any vestiges of Wyatt's presence. All the while, Belphegor slyly harnessed the power of his hourgla.s.s relic, subtly refining his time rule mastery to synchronize with the unique time of the card realm. This strategic maneuver by Belphegor instilled a sense of pressing urgency within Wyatt.

The gravity of the situation became evident to Wyatt, as the ramifications were clear. Should Belphegor successfully align his time rule mastery with the distinct time of the card realm, he would ascend to an almost insurmountable level of power. His infernal temporal stride would grant him unhindered traversal through secondary time flow, complemented by his Temporal Annihilation fist, which could reduce any object to oblivion. The enigma of his Time Annihilation Hybrid rune's capabilities added an element of unpredictability, making its potential consequences difficult to fathom. This enhanced might could potentially render Belphegor unstoppable, enabling him to pursue Wyatt without any restraints.

Having reached this realization, Wyatt, who initially intended to methodically confront Belphegor, recognized the urgency of the situation and resolved to thwart Belphegor's efforts to align his time rule mastery with the distinct time of the card realm. The stakes were high; Belphegor's unmatched Temporal Annihilation fist posed an undeniable threat, carrying the weight of certain demise. On a previous occasion, Wyatt's narrow escape from this peril was attributed largely to Belphegor's deliberate choice to spare Wyatt's Ego gem, housing his soul. This decision was driven by Belphegor's intention to subject Wyatt's soul to the countless torment techniques within the Myriad Realms. Otherwise, Wyatt's soul would have instantly joined his physical body in complete obliteration.

Wyatt swiftly reconst.i.tuted his physical form, activated the SSS-rank Cursed Blood Rejuvenation enhancement, and surged into the encompa.s.sing embrace of Belphegor's three distinct rule domains. Unlike his previous impulsive approach, this time Wyatt's progression was marked by careful consideration. His immediate objective wasn't to engage in a direct confrontation with Belphegor but rather to thwart Belphegor's attempts at aligning his time rule mastery with the time of the card realm.

As soon as Wyatt ventured into the rule domains, Belphegor swiftly detected his arrival. He then triggered a brief, personal secondary time flow, lasting only for a fraction of a second, during which he executed a swiping motion with his hand aimed at Wyatt. Immediately afterward, he nullified the secondary time flow.

Belphegor exhibited more restraint in his use of the time rule this time around. Evidently, his foremost objective was to swiftly synchronize his time rule mastery with the time of the card realm. This is why he restricted its application solely to himself.

Even though this time Belphegor confined his secondary time flow solely to himself, Wyatt's vision was still affected by its influence, allowing him to perceive Belphegor's actions. As a result, he was unsurprised when the lava surged, forming a ma.s.sive wave that surged forward, seemingly poised to crash down and engulf him. Wyatt, fully antic.i.p.ating this, mustered all his strength to expertly evade the impending deluge.

Dodging the oncoming lava wave, Wyatt observed Belphegor's rapid initiation of a brief secondary time flow. In that fleeting moment, Belphegor swung his left arm aimed at Wyatt while simultaneously striking with his right arm before swiftly nullifying the secondary time flow.

As the standard time flow resumed its regular pace, a ma.s.sive wind blade resembling a crescent arced toward Wyatt, aiming to cleave him. Simultaneously, a lightning bolt descended upon him with uncanny precision and astonis.h.i.+ng swiftness.

Despite Wyatt's physical body being fortified through the SSS-rank Cursed Blood Rejuvenation curse's enhancement, he wisely refrained from directly confronting either of the incoming a.s.saults. However, the remarkable velocity and precision of the attacks left him with limited alternatives.????????.???
