Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Meanwhile, in the arena, Caleb, with his four arms, attempted a strategic move to immobilize Vortix. He launched forward, arms extended, aiming to lock Vortix in a powerful grip. Each of Caleb's arms moved with precision, targeting Vortix's limbs and torso in an effort to pin him down and restrict his movements.

However, Vortix, with his superior combat experience and predictive abilities, foresaw Caleb's intentions. He maneuvered with astonishing grace and speed, his movements a blur, evading each of Caleb's grasps with ease.

"It's not enough to simply try and hold me, Adam," Vortix commented, almost casually dodging another of Caleb's attempts to lock him in place. "In the Saint Realm, physical prowess is but one facet of our capabilities."

Caleb, undeterred but increasingly aware of the challenge, intensified his efforts. His extra limbs allowed him for multiple attack vectors, trying to overwhelm Vortix's defenses. Yet, Vortix countered every move, his expression calm, almost serene, as he effortlessly avoided Caleb's powerful but ultimately futile attempts to secure a hold.

Caleb, increasingly frustrated by his inability to land a significant blow on Vortix, finally snapped, "How the hell are you predicting every damn move I make?"

Vortix, with a hint of pride, revealed, "My power, precognition, allows me to calculate every variable on the battlefield. I can anticipate actions down to the smallest detail, making it nearly impossible to surprise me."

He explained further, "Every step you take, every punch you throw, I've already seen it in my mind's eye before you even decide to act."@@novelbin@@

Caleb recalled multiple instances during their fight where Vortix dodged or countered attacks that should have been hits. Like when Caleb tried a sneak attack from behind, only for Vortix to turn at the last second and block it, or when Caleb used his fastest combo, and Vortix seemed to be waiting for it, countering with ease.

Each memory cemented the reality of Vortix's claim, fueling Caleb's irritation. "So, you've been playing me this whole time," Caleb growled, his anger flaring.

Sensing Caleb's growing dismay, Vortix posed a tantalizing question, "Do you wish to see the extent of my power? The true might of a Saint Realm, capable of obliterating continents?"

The mere suggestion sent a wave of apprehension through the onlookers. Vortix's aura began to intensify, a visible manifestation of his immense power that made the air around him shimmer with potential destruction.

In the Saint Realm, as Vortix elaborated, one's power isn't just about physical strength or speed; it encompasses control over the very fabric of reality within a certain radius. "At my level," Vortix continued, "I can manipulate gravitational forces, tear apart molecular structures, and even alter time flows in localized areas. To unleash this fully would be... catastrophic."

Caleb, while unnerved, couldn't hide his curiosity about the raw power Vortix possessed. However, isn't it just Saint Realm?

Caleb looked at Vortix and chuckled. "So?? My grandfather Jeff is also a Saint Realm."

Vortix's eyes widened in recognition. "Jeff? I fought alongside him once, many cycles ago. He is indeed formidable, one of the few I acknowledge as a true warrior."

The respect in Vortix's voice was palpable. "Our time together was brief, but I remember his strength. It left an impression."

Before Caleb could respond, the spaceship trembled violently, alarms blaring, lights switching to a dangerous red. The ship's system announced, "Warning! Unprecedented energy fluctuations detected. Potential catastrophic event imminent."

Everyone realized that Vortix's power was causing the spaceship's sensors to go haywire, interpreting his Saint Realm energy as a threat capable of devastating continents.

Caleb, seizing the moment and not wanting to be overshadowed, decided it was time to unleash his full potential. "Alright, enough of this shit," he muttered, closing his eyes, concentrating deeply.

His body began to emit a dense, dark aura, the air around him crackling with pent-up energy. Caleb's intention was clear: to match Vortix's power display with his own.

As the tension escalated, Caleb's form began to contort and expand, with three shadowy figures emerging from within him, each one darker than the deepest void. These shadows, manifestations of his latent power, swirled and twisted around his body, fusing with his flesh, turning his entire being into a shade darker than black, his power surging to 150 times its normal level.

With a roar that shook the very core of the spaceship, Caleb underwent another transformation, this time into his most formidable state: the Undead Devouring Dragon Human. This transformation, synergized with his newly acquired shadow form, caused his strength to skyrocket by an additional 200 times, totaling a staggering 350 times increase.

Caleb's appearance was now terrifying. His hair grew long and white, flowing like a cascade of pure energy. His skin turned an inky black, absorbing light into its abyssal hue, while his eyes glowed with a golden reptilian ferocity. Silvery moonlight scales, hard as the strongest alloy, covered his body, shimmering with an ethereal light. An extremely dark mist aura emanated from him, pulsing with the raw power of his combined forms.

Amidst this awe-inspiring transformation, the spaceship's alarms escalated to a dark alarm, a level above red, signaling an emergency of the highest order. "Warning! Dark alarm activated. Energy levels detected are sufficient to destroy multiple continents the size of Asia," the ship's automated voice announced, its tone urgent and grave.

The entire spaceship was now on high alert, with systems and crew scrambling to contain or mitigate the potential for catastrophic destruction. Caleb, in his final, awe-inspiring form, looked down at everyone as if he was looking at a colony of ants.

As Caleb stood in his final form, combination of three shadow assistants and devouring undead human dragon form, radiating power that threatened the very integrity of the spaceship and could topple multiple continents, Vortix, sensing the imminent danger, shouted, "Stop, Adam! If you continue, the entire ship will explode!"

Seeing the potential for destruction, Vortix conceded, "I admit defeat. There's no need for further combat. Your energy level alone is enough for me to acknowledge your strength."
