Seeing Double

Apophis felt everything around him slow down in that moment. 

He was hyper aware of everything within the room, but nothing more so than the sound of his own blood rushing through his ears.

The rage threatened to drive him insane. His rationality was fleeing him as fast as it could.

He could only vaguely focus on the sight of some foreign man standing in his great hall while saying something he couldn't even hear.

But despite everything, he was aware of the fact that Amaterasu desperately needed him. 

A bright green bubble formed around the body of the goddess. 

Her breathing, movements, and bleeding all ceased. Instead of trying to rewind time, he isolated the moment she was currently in and froze her within it. 

She was locked permanently in a state of near death. Only to be saved later. If he ever got the chance.
