Chapter 455 Time-Space Collision!
When the two trains met in this eerie environment, the atmosphere instantly froze to freezing point.
A train from the steam age and a futuristic levitation train are traveling side by side in reverse time, their locomotives racing each other, their sharp, high-speed roars echoing across the timeline like ancient reverberations.
Countless streams of time continuously washed over the surfaces of the two trains, and terrifying energy fluctuations constantly impacted them, as if roaring and protesting against this rule-breaking operation.
However, the people on both trains were no longer concerned with these matters.
Although Tang Zijun and the others couldn't see the interior of the train, the shock felt by those inside the carriages beneath its cold, bluish-green steel exterior was no less than that of Tang Zijun and the others.
The cultists in the train control room looked as if they had seen a ghost. According to their intelligence, the technological development of this world was definitely not capable of opening up timelines, and the other side's exploration of space was even very naive.
But to their utter surprise, they saw another train running alongside them right outside their window.
"This...this can't be real, right..." a believer stammered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Everyone else stood quietly in place, and no one was able to offer a reasonable explanation.
At that moment, one of the believers whispered, "Could it be a timeline reversal effect? Is this train not real, but a mirror image of this world's timeline mimicking our own?"
"This kind of mirrored timeline has never appeared before; it only shows what the trains we're on looked like in the past, not this..."
Before the other cultist could finish speaking, a deafening, thunderous roar completely drowned out his voice. At the same time, a train outside the window burst into golden light, breaking through the timeline with unstoppable force and overtaking their train.
"Holy crap! It can even speed up!?"
The two trains, which were originally running side by side, suddenly accelerated due to the sudden acceleration of one of them. In an instant, the flow of time around them became turbulent, and the energy that broke through caused a series of explosions, which directly affected the dark blue train.
A violent tremor struck, throwing all the cultists out of the control room, scattering them haphazardly throughout the room. At the same time, urgent alarms sounded from the walls.
"It's not a mirror image! This is not a mirror image!!"
"This is a train traveling in reverse time, just like us! Repeat, this is a train traveling in reverse time, just like us!!"
An elderly cultist shakily got to his feet; half of his body had been converted into machinery, and blue liquid continuously gushed from tubes behind him, being injected into his spine.
Seeing the chaos, he roared, "Calm down! Everyone back in your positions, keep the Holy Train moving forward!!"
Upon hearing this, the cultists, whose faces were covered in blood from being thrown, quickly stood up despite the pain and the fainting spells they had experienced. After regaining their basic cognitive abilities, they reflexively returned to their workstations.
The elderly believer, leaning against the wall, staggered towards another carriage.
"God, Your Majesty the God King!"
Before the hatch was fully open, the old cultist squeezed in and collapsed to the ground.
"Great God of Time, we have been attacked!"
Deep inside the carriage, a bizarre humanoid figure with three heads sat upright in a seat. A tube was connected to his chest, through which flowed a ghostly blue energy that continuously injected into the train.
This is clearly the power source for the train.
Upon hearing the old cultist's voice, the man slowly opened his eyes on the left side of his head.
"Do not panic, my people, I already know who they are."
The old believer raised his head shakily, a look of bewilderment and confusion in his eyes.
"Although there is interference from the reverse flow of time, my senses are not wrong. This cold energy reaction should be from the otherworldly person who destroyed the Holy Royal City before."
"No, impossible..." The old cultist gaped, then quickly lowered his head. "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to refute you, but according to our intelligence, this world shouldn't have the technology to travel through time."
"This is why we are here," the left head of the God of Time slowly spoke. "This is one of the fundamental forces of this world, something our world lacks. Weak technology can break the order of time—what a wondrous power."
As he spoke, the right side of the God of Time's head opened its eyes and said, "To possess such wondrous power yet not know how to use it—what an ignorant world! Imagine, once we conquer this world, you will all ascend to a higher level."
Upon hearing this, the old believer's eyes lit up instantly.
"You mean, even weak beings like us can achieve a higher level of evolution?"
"Of course, my dear people, your efforts will be rewarded, and you will always have a place in the new era," the left head of the God of Time said with a gentle smile.
A look of wild joy appeared on the old believer's aged face. "Great God of Time, I am willing to give everything for you and for the arrival of a new era."
"Very well." A cold smile appeared on the right side of the God of Time's head. "Now is your time to pay the price. If we can keep this guy here, then there will be no need for pointless killing."
"However, the timeline of this world is too resilient; the energy surge from the reverse timeline has reached its threshold." The old cultist's expression showed some struggle. "We cannot fight them in this environment."
"Who do you think I am?"
The God of Time slammed his hand on the armrest of the seat, and his right head let out a roar.
"Move the car over there!!"
A look of astonishment flashed across the old cultist's eyes, but it quickly faded, replaced by a sense of madness.
A sharp, piercing sound suddenly tore through the timeline, a sound that seemed to penetrate one's very soul.
The lights in the control room began to flicker violently, like some kind of frantic signal.
Then, the dark blue streamlined train suddenly accelerated, forcefully breaking through the oncoming ripples of timeline energy. The front of the train veered slightly and crashed directly into the old, golden steam train.
For an instant.
Time seemed to stand still around us.
Even Tang Zijun felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the train hurtling towards her.
"Are those bastards insane?!"
Screams echoed throughout the carriage, mainly contributed by Qin Nan, Xiao Hui, and Suo Lin.
"Katie!" Tang Zijun turned around abruptly.
The approaching dark blue train was like a wild beast that had lost its mind, charging toward its prey with unstoppable momentum. The flow of time between them was even compressed, producing a sharp whistling sound.
At the very moment the two trains collided.
Golden magical runes suddenly burst forth from the steam train.
The next moment, the enormous impact caused both trains to shake violently. In an instant, the colorful stream of light tore through the surface of the trains, and an unstoppable suction force swept in, instantly hurling everything inside the trains out.
The light emanating from the surrounding time flow became disordered, and the violent energy made it impossible for anyone to even react.
"Help! Help! Help!!"
Little Gray was the first to be affected; he couldn't even utter a complete sentence before disappearing into the light.
"Little Grey!" Qin Nan's eyes widened, but she soon realized that her body was being assimilated by the light.
She suddenly turned her head and reached out to grab Tan Zhixin beside her, but she grabbed nothing; the seat where Tan Zhixin had been sitting was no longer occupied.
"Tang Zijun! Sister Tan, she..."
Qin Nan stared at Tang Zijun's location with her mouth agape, and the next moment, she froze completely.
"Tang Zijun?"
The entire carriage was in chaos, and everyone except her had mysteriously vanished.
Before she could even react to what was happening, she felt a sense of weightlessness wash over her entire body.
Then, the steam train, shimmering with golden runes, rushed straight out of the energy tide of the time flow and crashed into the timeline.
