Upon hearing Mist’s words, Daniel’s heart skipped a beat.
According to his Mental Deduction, Mist’s rescue operation was bound to have a certain possibility of failure.
However, this failure wasn’t the failure of the entire mission—it was merely that Mist might not succeed in her task.
It seemed that the fracture in the River of Time was not an easy thing to deal with.
As Daniel thought about this, he was about to rush over to assist, but [Flesh and Blood Core: Nyra] firmly blocked his path.
Facing Nyra, Daniel did not have the confidence to defeat her at this moment.
However, since the enemy had already come to him, Daniel certainly wouldn’t back down.
Just then, several familiar voices rang in his mind.
"Go rescue Kartora first. Leave the battle here to us for now!"
Daniel hadn’t expected that, at the most critical moment, several of his own versions from different world lines would choose to step in and help!
It was important to note that these versions of Daniel had just reached Demigod Rank. Facing Nyra’s threat, they were also at significant risk.
But even so, they chose to step forward!
Meanwhile, Luke, on the other hand, had it much easier. Especially after Daniel arranged for his clones to assist her, Luke’s combat had become much more effortless.
She could almost be said to be toying with them!
However, Luke also understood why Daniel’s clones would choose to assist her—because her situation was relatively simple to handle.
She smiled mischievously, then suddenly raised her hand and gently grasped Daniel’s finger.
"I understand what you’re trying to do. In the name of the Luck Goddess, I temporarily give you 1 luck point."
Luke wasn’t unwilling to give more, but her gifting had already been limited by the rules.
Still, for Daniel, this single luck point was more than enough to change everything!
At this point, Daniel’s luck points had already reached 13, making him the highest luck point holder in the entire world.
Even Luck Goddess Luke herself could only be second in line.
On the other side, when Daniel’s luck points reached 13, he immediately felt a sense of clarity, as though he had become completely transparent.
This transparency didn’t just apply to himself—he could now see the intricate laws that governed this world, as if all the "rules" were laid out before him.
It felt as though even luck was something predetermined!
Shaking his head to dispel the overwhelming information, Daniel used the brief moment to search for anything valuable to him.
After all, with so many "rules" laid out before him, it would be a waste not to take action.
Thus, Daniel’s gaze began following the "rules" to seek out what might be of use to him.
The next moment, his body suddenly passed through Nyra’s blood pool!
At that instant, Daniel was in an incredibly unique state, as though he no longer belonged to the space of the Exile domain.
As he walked through the blood pool, he felt no resistance whatsoever.
No matter how Nyra tried to control the blood pool, Daniel simply felt the resistance growing stronger the further he advanced.
For a moment, Daniel even entertained the thought of giving up. But as soon as the idea crossed his mind, he threw it aside.
His instincts told him that there was something valuable ahead!
When Daniel "awoke" from this unique state, he finally understood why Mist’s actions had failed.
It was because the River of Time had begun to collapse continuously!
But his instincts also told him that to obtain what he sought, he needed to enter the collapsing River of Time.
But... was this really risk-free?
After a brief moment of contemplation, Daniel decided to play it safe for now. He summoned a clone and sent it into the collapsing space.
To his surprise, when the clone entered, Daniel discovered a long-forgotten portal within the collapsing River of Time.
However, this portal was sealed.
For Daniel, this kind of seal was not a big deal.
He had the means to easily deal with it.
Daniel raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The power of the [Universal Gauntlet] could easily resolve the seal on the portal.
But then, something strange happened.
The [Universal Gauntlet] in his hand vanished instantly.
It had only just been summoned, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
What did this mean? Why had this happened?
Daniel frowned, but as he looked around at the collapsing River of Time, he began to suspect something.
Could it be that the collapse of the River of Time had caused a temporal anomaly?
And because of this, the [Universal Gauntlet] was rendered ineffective by the flow of time?
Although Daniel was merely speculating, his instincts told him this was indeed the case.
After reaching this conclusion,
A contemplative expression crossed Daniel’s face.
So, what exactly was causing the collapse of the River of Time? Was it Kartora’s doing?
If it really was Kartora’s actions, what state were they in now?
A multitude of thoughts raced through Daniel’s mind in that instant.
But despite all this, his movements never stopped. Thanks to Luke’s assistance, he still had some time.
Moreover, they were now deep within the Exile domain. A single misstep could attract the attention of the Ancient God Pantheon gods, or even the inner gods.
So, Daniel had always been cautious.
But now, it seemed like it was time to take a risk!
Daniel gritted his teeth and suddenly summoned a multitude of clones, then used [Universal Gauntlet] all at once.
Due to the presence of the temporal anomaly, there were too many uncertainties.
However, as long as the sample size was large enough, there was bound to be a scenario where it would work. Moreover, with Daniel’s current luck points, even if it didn’t work immediately, it would likely still achieve his goal in a reasonable way.
The next moment, the [Universal Gauntlet] finally worked as it should.
The seal on the portal was completely removed.
The once broken-down portal now gleamed with an eerie color.
This color was hard to describe, but if Daniel had to put it into words, it would be a "rainbow-colored black."
Daniel knew he couldn’t afford to delay any longer.
With a swift motion, he entered the portal without hesitation.
If it were any other time, Daniel would have been more cautious.
But now, time was running out!
