Ryder saw the man stop suddenly. Finding it to be an excellent opportunity to kill the man, he continued towards the man. As it was his second time after he had managed to form the trident successfully, his Trident of Water was finished many times faster.

Holding the gun in his left hand, he used his right hand to thrust the water Trident towards the man.

The Trident reached closer to the man, but just as it was a few inches away from the man, the Trident stopped. It seemed to have struck some kind of invisible wall that was in front of the man. The Trident couldn't move ahead no matter how hard Ryder tried. He used his gun in an effort to break whatever invisible wall he had, but then the bullets didn't manage to get through.

The bullets hit the invisible walls and fell down on the ground.

Looking at the mocking grin on the man's face, Ryder realized that it was impossible to hit the man. There are only twenty-second left in his invincibility. He knew that it was a time to decide. A time to decide if he was going to fight this war till the bitter end and see everything he achieved go to waste or run away.

He knew that running away was a good possibility but that only meant prolonging the time until he had to face the man again since it was obvious that they weren't going to stop with a single city.

There was this deep conundrum in his head, but he knew that keeping his head down was the best option for now. He stole the bombs and changed the future already. As for these people escaping and doing this again, he had already thought of something for that.

He opened his inventory and pulled out the fourteenth bomb, but this was not the bomb from this timeline. It was a bomb from the previous timeline that probably had only a few minutes left after coming out before it burst. Ryder had seen the exact time when the Thirteen bombs blew up in the previous timeline after he kept the bomb in the inventory. He knew exactly how much time he had from that.

'Four minutes before the fourteenth bomb blow up. Twenty Seconds before my invincibility is over. Four Minutes and forty seconds before my Acceleration is over. Until then, I'm faster than him. I can create twenty meters of distance without dying until my Protect of Aria lasts. After that, he shouldn't be able to harm me for some time since he can't get me in his range.'

'This is it. This is the time to show my true ability. If u survive, I'll save everyone. If I die, I'll let history take place like it did the first time. Everything for this moment,' Ryder thought as he held the black bag in his hand. He had already put his gun back in his Inventory, and he was still trying to break the barrier with his Trident.

With Eighteen Seconds left to his Protection of Aria, Ryder was about to turn back to escape when he felt a push. The invisible wall had suddenly come forward and pushed him away. However, instead of falling down, he used the momentum to fly away.

Watching Ryder fly, the Masked Man's eyes were opened in surprise. He couldn't understand what exactly happened. He could fly? How? Without thinking much, he started running after Ryder.

Ryder flew off the building and became visible in the sky. The Twelfth King and the Five Black Robes subordinates also saw Ryder in the sky flying. Ryder's face was still covered in a mask, making them unable to see who he actually was, but they recognized him to be the person they were looking for that stole the bombs.

The Twelfth King seemed as if he was about to take action, but he stopped as he saw the Thirteenth King running after Ryder.

"Sigh, he'll be really pissed if I help him. He should be able to deal with it, though,

" the Twelfth King muttered as he gazed in the sky.

The Five Subordinates also did the same. They stayed there and didn't chase after them since they had faith in the Thirteenth King.

Ryder heard Janus' Voice after Fifteen Seconds passed.

"Janus, you know why my plan is, right? Tell me what my chances of successful escape are if I manage to pull it off?

" Ryder asked Janus as he continued flying away. Even though the Protection of Aria was over, Ryder was still over Twenty Meters away from the Thirteenth King, making his abilities useless.

Janus answered Ryder slowly.

"Hah, that's good to know. The One in ten thousand chance is back to one in three. All because of this little guy in my hand,

" Ryder muttered as he looked at the small bag in his other hand that was holding the fourteenth bomb.

The clouds of rain seemed to be following after Ryder, bringing their rain with them.

With the rain, came the effects of the rain, which made sure that the Thirteenth King's speed was lowered. Mixed with Ryder's fast speed with the effects of the rain and the further increase because of the , Ryder was able to increase the distance between them, albeit a bit slowly.

Time kept passing, second by second. One minute was over, and soon two minutes were over.

The distance between the two of them had become twenty-five meters from the initial twenty meters in these two minutes. Despite watching the distance increase, the Thirteenth King didn't give up.

"What happened, little guy? Why are you running? What happened to the bravery you showed initially. Is your invincibility gone? Stop running and show me your power. Let me have some fun, little guy!

" the Thirteenth King laughed out loud as he chased after Ryder.

"Don't worry, big guy. There will come a time when I'll face you for real, and that will be the time when you will be running away from me just like you did at the start, but even your shield won't be able to stop then. Your Shield will shatter. Just wait,

" Ryder replied in a proud tone, which the Thirteenth King found funny as Ryder was still running.

He didn't know that Ryder was having a countdown under his breath.

"Ten... nine... eight...

" Ryder continued his countdown as his heartbeat became slightly faster.
