It was like looking in my reflection

My father, the 2nd highest ranked adventurer

The rank between adventurers constantly change yet his position in being one of the strongest always stays the same, no matter who I am, I can’t beat him, screw that I can’t even touch him.

“There’s no where to run child, you are trapped here”.

He looked at me, his voice deep and raspy as he slowly walked towards me

“Stop the World”.

The world had turned to gray as it completely stopped.

The scythe within my hand was thrown towards him, it completely stopped before it hit him.

He’s way too strong, there’s no possible way for me to beat him.

Maybe there is a way, I’ll brute force my way through his defenses.

No matter who you are, you won’t be able to beat him, his power is too strong.

The ranks of a power mostly dictate their rarity, the power output of an ability depends on the flexibility of the power.

His power is the strongest

“Time slow up, infinitely”.

The scythe slowly got closer and closer to his face as my body started to give on me, by slowing down time around the scythe, it speeds it up indefinitely.

“Ultimate Ability: Grandfather Paradox”.

The space around us changed, a large grandfather clock hanged up in the sky, its large pendulum making the entire dimension shake.

It was a factory with an open ceiling, small pocket watches went along the conveyors.

My father’s ability is to make theoretical paradoxes come to life.

Within the frame of the user’s ultimate dimension, the user is ultimately untouchable, the user’s grandfather is temporarily killed within the past, making him fade in and out of the space time continuum which gives him invulnerability to any sort of attack.

The scythe passed through his body, landing on the other side of the factory, straight into the wall.

He closed his eyes

The large clock above started moving.

[5 minutes till midnight]

He was right in front of me, his hand upon my shoulder as he breathed in

My entire body fell apart into small grains, as I reconstructed back into myself.

I couldn’t breathe, it was like I wasn’t myself, it was like I was in a different body.

I held my neck as my lungs refused to breathe, I was completely choking.

Tis all but a mere illusion.

My hands suddenly became translucent like I was fading from space itself.

“Well father, your grandfather is my great grandfather, technically we both don’t exist”.

I could finally touch him now, there wasn’t anything to be scared of.

A fatal flaw, when a paradox is being used, another cannot be used in tandem since they are from the same ability.

“Gaia, stop for me”.

He was completely frozen in time

This was just a mere illusion, a joke of who he truly was.

Without his powers, he is nothing, I’m not afraid of him, I’m merely scared of his powers.

My fist had entered through his chest, as he started to bleed from his mouth.

His clothes drenched in blood, as he looked at me, staring at me with those blank and empty eyes.

[3 minutes until midnight]

He finally spoke

“If this sentence is true, then my ultimate ends now”.

Space itself started to fall apart, the giant clock in the sky started shaking rapidly, the clock struck 12.

[midnight has been reached]
