Time works differently for some people. Some people say they go by fast. While some say they go by painfully slow.

But what would you do when you were given the power to manipulate time by the god of time herself?

Test it of course!

"I can't get my power to work!" Heizou groaned. Kazuha smiled at him, trying to offer some comfort.

"Patience is key, Heizou."

"But how come Kuni was able to handle it quickly?!" Heizou pointed at Kuni who has a pot of flower in front of him.

The pot of flower was growing increasingly faster than normal.

"You just suck at it." Kuni said. Heizou grumbled, offended.

"It just sucks, you know? Master took our visions away..."

"You three have deliberately disobeyed me! I told you not to go near yet you don't listen to me!" Barbatos scolded them.

"We're sorry, Master. I tried to stop them, but I failed." Kuni apologies. Kazuha looked down in shame and Heizou couldn't bear to look at his Master.

"I am VERY disappointed in you three! This action will not go without consequences."

Barbatos's wings started to grow so now instead of 2, there were 6. His cracks grew bigger and his hair started to glow.

Just as the crack grew bigger, he wince in pain and clutches his eye where the cracks were.

"AGH! Damn it... Stupid corruption! I can't even have strong emotions now?!"

The cracks on his body grew.

"Ouch! It seems my body can't handle strong emotions..."

Suddenly, their vision glowed and turned into teal orbs. They fly around for a few seconds before going to Barbatos, in his open palms.

"Master! Our vision!" Kazuha gasped.

"This will be your punishment for disobeying your Master, your archon!"

"I'll return them once I see fit" and with that, he disappeared.

"Sigh... I hope Master wasn't cruel to destroy them! Otherwise we'd be vision less! And we'll just have this time manipulating power that doesn't even work!"

"Speak for yourself! I still have my electro abilities" Kuni stuck out his tongue at them both.

Heizou glared at him. "Why you...."

"Heizou, we just have to stay put. You must remember, Master can't stay angry for long. That's his nature. He'll forgive us soon" Kazuha put a hand to Heizou's shoulder.

"Kazuha, we basically powerless! We're useless! We can't protect Mondstadt for the time being!" Heizou took Kazuha's shirt and brought his face close.

"DON'T YOU SEEEEE??"

"Woah, calm down, my friend. Kuni will be able to protect the nation while we're quote on quote, useless and powerless."

"Unfortunately." Kuni shrugged his shoulder. He push the pot to the middle of the stone table.

"Right.... It's just, I'm worried, alright?"

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be worried about."

"Alright if you say so. What do we do in our spare time?"

"You could maybe try to control you time ability." Kuni put his hand on his hips. I mean, come on! Wasn't it a gift?!

Heizou rolled his eyes. "I feel like you're flexing that you can easily control it." Kuni smugly smirked. He then chuckled.

"Maybe I am." Heizou glared at him.

They stared at each other, as if challenging the other for a fight. Kazuha on the other hand was just staring at his friends with with kabukimeow in his hand.

Kazuha wanted to say something, but what? He couldn't find and decide his words. It's too hard!

Gah! Why does his best friends always try to pick and fight with each other?!

Surprisingly, Heizou was the first to break the tension between him and Kuni.

"You're right..." Heizou sighed. Kuni's cold expression turned into smug.

"I'm always right." He said it so confidently it would piss of anyone! Well, except Childe. He would probably find it hot.

"Kuni, no hate towards you, but you are pissing me off here." Heizou gripped his arm. Kuni looked unimpressed.

"No worries, we're equal now. You always piss me off." Kuni waved his hand and headed down the invisible pathway.

"So long, suckers." He showed his middle finger and laughed.

Oh~ what happened to the old, innocent, pure Kabukimono that was once found by Barbatos?

He disappeared the day he named himself Kunikuzushi. Which was also the same day Barbatos found him.

He doesn't regret his decision.

He headed off towards Dragonspine.

Snezhnaya's snow was much more brutal than that of Dragonspine. He didn't mind it. After all, he couldn't feel the cold.

But not saying anything means Childe had no idea he wasn't cold. So he was cuddled by the ginger throughout the night.

"What a cutie..." He unconsciously smiled when he remembered his boyfriend's worried face.

"We'll meet again soon." He assured himself. He then made his way to the dark, red cave.

With his new ability, he should be able to use it anticlockwise, right? Doesn't it mean that the seal could be out up longer.

Barbatos himself said that this seal was weaker. So it shouldn't be up for long. But with with his gift, it should be able to stay up forever!

He put a hand to the red core heart. He moved it slowly anticlockwise. He put it there for sometime until suddenly the ground shaked.

"AGH!" He fell to the ground. The ground shook violently. More vialoent than last time. He quickly put a hand to the core and move it clockwise.

Then the ground stopped shaking.

He panted, out of relief. "It was a mistake coming here...."

He then stood up and walk out of the cave. Little did he know, that his endeavour made a crack to the seal.

Hello! I totally didn't disappear for a whole month hahahaha.... Anyways how are you guys? I hope everyone's healthy. And won their 5050. Funny story, I was saving for Raiden since I got guaranteed, but then Navia came out and I just couldn't resist.

But then I had about 60 wishes left so when Raiden came out, I pulled and got her on 12 pity.

Haha! It seems that I was chosen to be blessed by the Raiden siblings!

But then I tried to pull for yoimiya but got qiqi instead.

That's alright, I want c6 qiqi anyway.

On the bright side I'm guaranteed for Nahida. I'm not sure about this though. I pulled 2 times already on her banners and always lost.

But this time, that little radish can't run away from me. Hehehhahahah!

Hard to imagine that I've only won 2 505p so far. Anyways, I hoped you enjoy this chapter!
