Eye of Chronos

You have obtained the item: Darkhold (Fragment)

Solomon took the item from Xinfeng and stopped pursuing Ebony Maw and the others, deliberately driving them into different positions.

This would save him a great deal of trouble in the battle to come.

Future Sight was not particularly rare among Jewel Mystic Eyes. The farther and more accurately an eye could see into the future, the greater the burden it placed on the body.

Moreover, Reincarnators were ordinary people to begin with. They had not been superhumans born with such Mystic Eyes, so many Reincarnators were unable to adapt to this ability.

This gave Future Sight-type Mystic Eyes a rather low rating in the space, and among Reincarnators, they had the lowest trade value of all high-grade Mystic Eyes.

They were even worth less than the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

More Reincarnators would rather gamble on obtaining a powerful Mangekyo Sharingan than use such a difficult-to-master Mystic Eye.

But Solomon was different. Cold by nature, he had been a perfectionist since childhood, meticulous in everything he did and deeply averse to having his plans disrupted.

That was why he loved this kind of Mystic Eye. Once he had acquired sufficient resources, this had been his first priority for enhancement.

He remembered it clearly. At first, he had merely traded a B-rank Anomaly Point for an ordinary Future Sight Mystic Eye, one that could only occasionally glimpse the future within the next three hours.

But Solomon continuously experimented and recorded results in the Cultivation Institute, making targeted adjustments to his habits of using magical power.

In the end, he used this Mystic Eye during a brutal team battle mission to foresee the future, join forces with Plot Characters, and wipe out a powerful team, rising to prominence in one stroke.

Afterward, every time he enhanced himself, he prioritized his Mystic Eye. Contrary to the intelligence Tree Herder and the others had, his Mystic Eye was actually the highest-level enhancement on him at present.

Eye of Chronos

Quality: World's Rare Treasure

Description: The rarest rainbow-colored Mystic Eye among Jewel Mystic Eyes, containing the power to see through the future.

Effect 1: Flow of Myriad Phenomena. Can lock onto any target—person, location, item, or time—for observation. When used, the Mystic Eye will activate automatically.

Effect 2: Mirror of a Thousand Faces. Can observe multiple targets simultaneously, but Future Sight cannot be used. Each additional target places an extra burden on the brain. Excessive burden will result in brain death.

Effect 3: Echo of Destiny. Activate the Mystic Eye to observe any phenomenon and reverse its causality, conducting repeated deductions. Each deduction greatly increases the burden on the brain and consumes an enormous amount of magical power.

Solomon had actually known very well what Mercenary Tao had been doing in this world, though he truly had not expected Mercenary Tao to actually challenge Odin.

Odin had already declined in this timeline and been stripped of his divine power. To most attentive Reincarnators, that was hardly a secret.

But why had so few of Odin’s drops appeared in the space?

If this Odin, who was about to die naturally, had truly been so weak, the Reincarnators would have swarmed in like locusts long ago and turned this timeline into a Paradise for farming treasures.

Solomon had considered this point from the very beginning. The conclusion was obvious: although Odin was indeed approaching the end of his life in the plot—

That did not mean He had become completely incapable of resisting.

Those fools with ambitions of harvesting Odin had either been killed by Odin or retreated in defeat.

He had thought Mercenary Tao was a smart person. The condition for bribing Tree Herder was probably to kill some Asgardian god. Valkyrie, for example, would have been an excellent choice. If Solomon had handled it, he would have chosen Valkyrie as the target.

With sufficient preparation, even hunting Thor would have been an option.

Because their strength was very easy to predict.

But Odin was different. No one knew what level of power the observers had left to this former top-tier powerhouse, whose history contained so much "blank space."

Smart Reincarnators would not choose Odin.

But he had miscalculated.

Mercenary Tao had truly chosen to hunt Odin—and even more horrifyingly, he had succeeded.

At the cost of being unable to open his right eye for a short time, Solomon repeatedly watched Odin and Mercenary Tao’s final battle.

Mercenary Tao’s terrifying ability, similar to a "Saiyan transformation," made Solomon fully realize that Mercenary Tao had already pulled vastly ahead of them so-called top-tier Titles.

Even if that transformation imposed a tremendous burden and carried an enormous cost, as long as Mercenary Tao transformed, Solomon’s deductions showed that no Reincarnator below the level of a Supreme Expert could resist him.

From that perspective, Mahakala, A Single Thought of Silk, and Su Qingqiu had not lost unfairly.

After transforming, Mercenary Tao’s presence became absurdly powerful. The reason Solomon believed a Supreme Expert could fight Mercenary Tao in that state was because he knew the Crown of Supremacy had an extremely high ability priority.

It was possible for it to counter Mercenary Tao.

The Title Abilities and authorities of everyone else had absolutely no chance of victory against Mercenary Tao’s pure, unmatched violence.

Unless they found something Mercenary Tao lacked resistance against and used some rule-based ability to force a first strike upon him.

But that plan was extremely dangerous.

Because Mercenary Tao’s primary energy system was ki!

Ki could not be called exquisite in any way. Its only commendable quality was its decent versatility, allowing it to develop abilities with many different properties, and… to be raised to an almost limitless degree.

Yet this nearly crude energy system possessed a terrifying trait.

Immunity to special abilities!

Yes, the Dragon Ball World also possessed all kinds of supernatural abilities. Whether it was Chiaotzu in the early stages or Majin Buu later on, both had demonstrated special powers.

But as long as one’s ki was powerful enough, such special abilities could not affect the Z Fighters.

That was why Solomon, despite possessing all kinds of trump cards, was still unwilling to fight Mercenary Tao to the death after Odin had gravely wounded him.

If that guy transformed again before dying, there was a significant possibility that he could blast Solomon to death on the spot.

Rather than choose a 50% chance of receiving double rewards, he would choose a 100% chance of receiving single rewards. That was Solomon’s choice.

Countless thoughts surged through his mind in an instant. The holy power on the surface of his body was still roughly 70% full.

There was no other way. The pseudo-Gabriel state forcibly activated through an item had never been complete. Rather than open the Darkhold fragment, his body slowly inverted.

The holy Gabriel turned upside down in the air, spreading out like an inverted cross.

A brilliant light flared. The next moment, countless tiny rays of radiance began falling across all of New York. Countless humans were simultaneously pierced by the radiance, as though fine threads had penetrated their bodies.

Parker looked at the thread through his chest and felt no pain, but his mother began to panic, reaching out as though she wanted to tear away the threads connecting her and her son.

Their family was hiding inside a building, and many people had begun waving their hands about in panic.

These people were not stupid. The thing in the sky had already filled them with fear.

Parker watched his mother crouch before him, looking haggard as she continued trying to tear away the thread. He patted her forehead.

"It’s okay, Mom. Parker will protect you, so don’t be afraid…"

The woman raised her head in astonishment, only then realizing that her panic had become so obvious that even her young son could see it.

"Look! What is that?!"

Someone cried out. Parker looked up and saw only the silver-white angel in the sky, whose wings rapidly turned black as an intense stench rushed toward them.
