Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 9:52

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital

Watching their comrades die in front of their eyes by having all of their vitality sucked dry by the mohawk devil, the demigods noticed something astonishing that shocked them to the core and made them realize that until now they had been in a huge misconception that they were the hunters killing the predator but when actually they were the prey of the predator. 

As the four demigods lost their vitality the sand in the hourglass that was flowing in the reverse, from the lower section to the upper section suddenly began to flow normally from the upper section to the lower section. 

It appeared as if by sacrificing the vitality of the four demigods to the hourglass relic the mohawk devil was able to extend the amount of time it was able to use time rule mastery in card world without having adjusted its time rule mastery to the card world time. 

Uncovering this secret the demigods realized that it wasnʼt just them trying to hunt the predator but the predator was also trying to eat them all. 𝗇𝒐𝔳𝔢𝑙𝐮𝑠𝓫.𝓒𝞸𝗆

Morningstar University had two teams of demigods, that was 10 demigods. The Central government had two teams of demigods but two were missing, that was 8 demigods. The Morningstar University forces were told that the missing two members of the central governmentʼs team were conducting a covert operation to ʼPROTECTʼ the dual gate dungeon near the Southern Capital. 

In total, 18 demigods tapped into the secondary time flow created by the mohawk devil at the Southern Capital. Of which 4 had stayed behind to guard Wyatt. So 14 demigods came to fight the mohawk devil. The fight had just begun and they lost four demigods to the mohawk devil. 

The remaining ten devils cautiously retreated out of the range of the mohawk devilʼs chain whips. Then the leader of the Morningstar University forces asked the devil, ”How are your chains able to use time attacks without triggering our Time shield and Time Hack card?” 

Listening to him the other demigods were shocked as they did not realize this issue until he pointed it out. Making them further vary of the mohawk devil and its unknown chain whips. Whom they ignored and insulted a few seconds ago. 

”Simple, the chain is only using the time rule power to reach its target but when attacking the target it doesnʼt use the time rule power. Therefore, your fancy time cards that only activate when receiving a time attack never activate,” the mohawk devil appeared to be a little happy having sacrificed four demigods to the hourglass relic. It had noticed this when it first attacked the funny demigod earlier and failed due to the time shield card.

Listening to the Mohawk devil the leader of the Morningstar University forces confirmed that the chain whips of the Mohawk devil were creating a short-term third time flow to travel to its target and erase it when attacking their target. 

This third time flow was created for such a small period and erased that even their time hack card could not register it and get triggered. Honestly, he was impressed by the time rule mastery and intelligence to use it shown by the Mohawk devil. 

While the demigods and the devil were having a decisive battle, Ada who had her presence hidden using Mobius Presence was having an internal struggle. Right now her mortal enemy, Southern Emperor, was totally defenseless being stuck in the original time flow. She could go and kill her using the high-grade items her team gave her but she also had to complete the mission of ambushing the two demigods from Morningstar University and kidnapping Wyatt. 

If she kills the Southern emperor first then her presence will become visible to the demigods and the devil and lead to the failure of the mission. But if she kidnapped Wyatt first then it was impossible to tell how the devil would react once it notices its prey was missing. It could erase the second time flow to search for the culprit in the original timeline freeing the southern emperor. It was quite a dilemma. 

Thankfully she had 12 bodies 9 of which were free for her to use at present however she pleased. Ada only summoned 3 bodies, planning that she would kill the southern emperor while the three other bodies of her will ambush two demigods and kidnap Wyatt at the same time. They all would act at the same time so that they donʼt give themselves away after all the mobius presence deactivates once they come into contact with other being. 

With her next course of action planned, Ada and three of her bodies separately headed to their targets. Ada was overjoyed that she would get her revenge so early. However, what brought her more joy was that she will not be killing the Southern Emperor but using a curse on her that will strip her of all her card apprentice powers and turn her into a mere mortal. 

Once the Southern Emperor was agonizing in the pain and shame of having been reduced to a mere mortal, Ada planned to kill everyone close to the Southern Emperor one by one starting with Wyatt. Bringing further misery and pain into the Southern Emperorʼs life.

Ada whose goal was to make the Southern Emperor suffer had made it her mission to learn everything there was to learn about the Southern Emperor so she knew about the Southern Emperorʼs origin card which only a select few in the world knew about. This was thanks to her new position in the organization running the central government. 

She had already confirmed that the Southern Emperor in front of her was the Southern Emperorʼs origin card by using the item she got from Arnas to identify the real body of Wyatt. This was why she had a special SSS–rank curse prepared for the origin card of the Southern emperor. When she uses this curse on the origin card of the Southern Emperor it will also spread to the Southern Emperor too, as they both were one.
