An unexpected encounter. Shi Ming's first instinct was to fight!
But then he remembered he had just inherited Ron's destiny and had essentially become the Sovereign himself. 'If I can use this usurped fate to bluff my way through this,' he thought, 'it could create all sorts of opportunities out of thin air!'
His ability to adapt was immense.
He instantly slipped into character.
'I'll play the part as long as I can. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to improvise.'
As Shi Ming felt the flow of time slow, the Time Giant, Candela, turned his gaze upon him. Spacetime shattered, and the giant stepped through the breach.
In the Endless Star Sea, powerhouses with abilities tied to destiny were exceedingly rare; each was a true gem. Those with time-related abilities were rarer still. But to have mastered both time and destiny, and to have reached a realm beyond that of a Pillar Stone—in the entire Star Sea, there was only one such being!
"Your Excellency."
