Stopping time

Stopping time is a special ability common in ACG works.

Introduction

"Time stop" is the ability to manipulate time, that is, to stop the flow of time within a certain range so that time does not move forward.

Generally, the person who releases the ability to stop time can still move after time stops, while other people and things become stationary due to the stop of time.

In different works, the specific settings of the length and scope of the ability to control time are also different.

However, since the control of time is a very powerful ability, the control time generally does not last too long.

Time stop can also be used as a game function, which is common in large-scale business strategy games, allowing players to complete multiple complex construction projects at a certain time point in the game at the same time. The operational phase of a turn-based game is also essentially a time stop.

Time Stopping and Related Abilities

For a character with the ability to stop time, if he performs actions such as moving or fetching objects during the time stop period, since the elapsed time is 0, he can actually have the ability to move instantaneously and fetch objects through the air.

Weaknesses

• Devices that need to communicate with the outside world may be unusable.
  • Therefore, most ability users choose to activate their abilities within the attack range.
• After time stops, the esper may not be able to interact with other objects.
