Chapter 368: Chapter 377: The Correct Way to Use Time Stop

Chen Tingquan immediately sprang into action. First, he picked up some small stones from nearby and used the Power of Water Element to bind them together. He then tried to trap the Beast God.

But the attempt clearly failed.

The small stones couldn’t form an effective enclosure, and the Beast God easily bypassed them.

"Looks like I need to bind some larger objects together."

"Hmm..."

"Seems like some ruins might have the special materials?"

Legend of Infinity Fantasy itself contains many ruins, which feature a variety of puzzle-solving elements.

To solve these puzzles, various elemental powers are needed. The puzzles may include items like stone tablets, columns, locks, or various metal materials.

After all, the primary ability of the Water Element is adhesion, which can be used to construct bridges to cross abysses, a common puzzle type.

If these materials could be used to construct a cage...

And such materials aren’t only found in ruins, as many places across the Fantasy Continent contain puzzle elements. Many unassuming open spaces might hide a puzzle that requires special abilities to unlock.

Without hesitation, Chen Tingquan set off, using his memory to search for materials nearby.

Soon, he found the right materials: some metal plates!

The dimensions of these metal plates were substantial. If one used the Hero’s height as a reference, the plates were about two to three meters wide and six to seven meters long.

Originally, these metal plates were intended to be adhered together to construct a bridge to cross a chasm ahead, but now Chen Tingquan had used the Power of Water Element to glue them into a square cage.

Then, using the Power of Wind, he lifted the square metal cage and returned to the location where the Beast God had been.

"Bet you didn’t expect me, the Hero, to come back!"

Upon seeing the Hero again, the Mount Wolf beneath the Beast God roared and rapidly charged forward!

This time, however, Chen Tingquan was calm and collected. He simply placed the square metal cage down, successfully trapping the Beast God inside!

If it had been before, this method wouldn’t have been very effective.

First, the game’s monsters are all very strong. The higher the monster’s level, the stronger its impact force. So even if obstructed, just one charge could send the barriers flying.

Second, the Water Element’s adhesive power also had its limits. A strong impact could cause the adhesives to fall off.

So if it had been before, the iron cage would have merely trapped the Beast God for a few seconds. Just one charge by the Beast God, or a few arrows or slashes through the cage, would quickly destroy the cage, turning it back into separate metal plates.

The Beast God would easily have escaped.

However, this time, Chen Tingquan directly controlled the Hero to use Time Stop Ability on the iron cage!

"Ding!"

A clear sound rang out, and the cage turned golden, as if time itself had been frozen. Golden time chains appeared around it, locking it firmly in place.

"Thud!"

The Beast God slammed into the cage heavily, making the golden effect on the cage seem to deepen a bit. An arrow also appeared, but the change was not significant.

If it followed the original game settings, the Time Stop Ability would have a limit; with an increasing number of impacts, the time stop would gradually decrease.

But Gan Di’s mod had made certain modifications to the Time Stop Ability. It not only extended the duration but also ensured that the number of impacts wouldn’t shorten the time stop. So no matter how much the Beast God rammed, the iron cage remained as solid as ever.

It simply couldn’t break out!

Chen Tingquan simply wanted to burst out laughing, "Kid, let’s see if I can handle you this time!"

He directly moved to a nearby slope, jumped and activated his Glider Wings, then while in mid-air, he drew his bow and entered Bullet Time, firing fiercely at the Beast God!

After several arrows were shot continuously, the Hero landed and exited Bullet Time.

The Beast God was inexplicably shot in the face and became even more furious. However, as it reached for its bow and arrow to return fire, it discovered that the Hero had already disappeared from sight.

It could only continue to furiously strike the iron sheet, but no matter how much it struck, it only slightly deepened the color of the Time Stop on the iron sheet, while the arrows elongated a bit.

It could only carry a sense of helplessness and fury.

Chen Tingquan, following the same strategy, continued to vary his attacks on the Beast God from the nearby slope, and he was having way too much fun.

But soon there was a problem, the Time Stop duration on the iron cage was nearly over, the deep Time Stop effect had begun to constantly flicker, emitting a rapid "ding ding ding" sound.

Once the Time Stop ended, the iron cage, having endured tremendous force, would still be destroyed, allowing the Beast God to escape.

What to do now?

To re-adhere the four iron sheets and reconstruct the cage in such a short time was nearly impossible.

But Chen Tingquan wasn’t flustered, for he had already thought of a plan.

"Hey! The final blow!"

He approached the iron cage and, a second before the Time Stop ended, swung his weapon, striking it lightly.

Originally, the arrow on the time-stopped iron cage was pointing towards the Hero, aligning with the Beast God’s attack direction, but now, the arrow instantly reversed back towards the Beast God!

This was another characteristic of Time Stop, where during the period of Time Stop, the accumulated force on an object continued to build. But upon ending, the direction of the force applied would align with the direction of the last strike.

Indeed, the moment the Time Stop ended, the iron cage instantly collapsed, but after the collapse, the four huge iron sheets flew towards where the Beast God was!

Although the other three iron sheets were too far and missed the Beast God, the iron sheet in front squarely hit the Beast God.

With a loud "smack," the Beast God’s remaining half of the Blood Bar instantly emptied!

The mighty Beast God hadn’t even understood what had happened when it gradually disintegrated, turning into piles of materials.

Chen Tingquan couldn’t help but get excited, "It worked! My guess was right! I wrongly blamed Gan Di, indeed he had left a way of skipping the class!

"But this can’t exactly be considered skipping class, as the Hero inherently has the ability to use Time Stop. I used Time Stop to defeat the Beast God, fair and square!"

Obviously, extending the Time Stop also objectively increased the upper limit of the power accumulated during the Time Stop.

Initially, the more strikes during Time Stop, the shorter the Time Stop duration, so the upper limit of the accumulated power was fixed. But now the duration was fixed and no longer changing, so the power accumulated during Time Stop significantly increased.

The Beast God, constantly striking the iron sheet, kept accumulating power for the Time Stop, and Chen Tingquan, having the Hero strike the iron sheet last and change the direction of the Time Stop power, instantly directed all the accumulated power towards the Beast God.

This impact was terrifying. Within the physics engine of Legend of Infinity Fantasy, it dealt massive damage to the high-health Beast God!

Of course, if the Hero hadn’t managed to make that last strike and instead, had been hit by the iron sheet, that would have been another story.

"Too bad I wasn’t streaming, my brilliantly valiant side wasn’t seen by the audience."

Chen Tingquan was slightly regretful because he wasn’t sure if his method would work, so he didn’t stream it and naturally didn’t record this historic moment.

However, he soon came to terms with it.

"No worries, this mod probably still hides many secrets. I’ll dig deeper and aim to amaze everyone during tonight’s stream, give the audience a surprise!"
