An Extra’s POV

At first, Rey didn't get it.

He expected a more overt 'path' to open up before him, so when the entire war was over, he began to wonder if he missed any obvious signs that would lead to his grand goal. However, he soon realized—with a bit of introspection—that he already had the tools he needed all along.

Firstly, the [Time Stop] Skill that he obtained from Feralia, which was now upgraded to [Perfect Time Stop] as a result of his [Perfect Divine Growth], was a key component in the task he was about to undertake.

However, that was only one side of the coin.

The other side was the most recent Skill that he obtained from the Dragon General, [Time Dilation]—or rather, [Perfect Time Dilation].

With these two distinct but somewhat similar Skills under his control, Rey could find a way to get out of the current situation he was trapped in regarding the Dark Elf before him.

'[Perfect Time Stop] stops the time of the target, while [Perfect Time Dilation] slows or speeds it up. Both of them combined should be able to control the time of the target with far greater liberties…'

That was his hunch, and all of his instincts seemed to be hinting in that direction.

As a result, he decided to take the chance.

'I'll use [Merger] to combine the Skills together, creating a much better Skill that'll increase my chances here…'

He still wasn't sure if this would even work, so the best way to achieve the desired result would be to make the Skill at least SS-Tier. 'If it still doesn't work out, I'll just assume [Wish Fulfillment] is the way to go about it… though I'm reluctant to use it since it's a one-time use only Skill.' He thought to himself in all determination, ready to use any means possible to crack The Oracle's code.

He hadn't come this far for nothing, after all.

"Now then… let us begin."
