Everything in the world seemed to be paused, as if someone had pressed the pause button. Everything slowed down, and only the pain radiating from Arthur's body reminded him that time hadn't completely stopped—it was merely being controlled. And the one wielding that control was Gu Lan!
"Gu Lan!" Arthur roared, and the world seemed to start moving again.

Simultaneously, above the overwhelming force of annihilation, Gu Lan utilized the power of time and space to evade Arthur's lethal blow.
