Unaffected by time manip

Oni Lee was suddenly in front of me, holding another one of Bakuda’s canisters. I had only a moment, little more than a second, to realize what he intended, then he released the trigger, and as I tried to leap away, it went off.

Time slowed around me. Oni Lee’s motions started to lose speed, such that his fingers appeared as though they were moving through molasses. The light coming from the warehouse and from the stars above started to dim and turn red, and something tugged on my barrier as my leap carried me backwards. Even the sparks and flickers that it let off started to smear and change colors before my eyes.

I was the only thing still moving at normal speed, until I cleared the radius of the bomb’s effects and landed further away down the alley. In front of me, a large sphere of altered space had formed, and everything inside of it was slowly dimming and turning red and fading away. It was like someone was dialing down a dimmer switch that only affected that one spot.

“Fuck,” I breathed again What was that? Did one of Bakuda’s bombs just freeze time for everything inside the blast zone?

That… That was insane.
