Understatement of the millennium. Lex, you’re standing in a nexus of frozen combat, with time shattered like glass around it, and your instincts are pulling you in. Problematic? Yeah. That’s one word for it.

we shift from mops to cosmic forces

This is the best dynamic. Lex the thinker, Giselle the breaker-of-walls

if Giselle turns out to be a time fragment of a forgotten goddess or something?

Not a weapon. Not a seal. Not a monster. A ballerina.

Lex didn’t just touch time. He became something else for a moment. And then sealed it away because the price was too great. That’s some eldritch, unknowable power level storytelling right there.

The way the book-fruit was just hanging there, no guards, no traps, nothing, that’s absolutely the bait that would terrify any rational cultivator. But Lex? He’s now in that protagonist category where he sees the cosmic red flags and walks right through them with a shrug and a hypothesis.

I’d bet good credits that whatever’s buried near that hill is more than just a point of anomaly. It’s a secret someone tried to lock away with billions of years of time.

what exactly is this anomaly that will freeze time? And what kind of treasures radiate an aura of time? I’m betting those will be game-changers in this tournament stream, maybe he will absorb some "time law"?

This is shaping up to be Lex vs. the fundamentals of reality, and I am HERE for it
