After snapping out of the trance, he immediately noticed a change in his environment. The old man that was just in front of him had somehow teleported himself to countless light years away from him at some point in time. Noticing this, shocked Mon Dupa greatly, as he soon also noticed that it wasn't teleportation that just occurred, because the old man and the moon he was standing on looked exactly the same as when he had first arrived within this universe filled with moons, with the old man sporting a wicked smirk on his aged face.
Realizing it wasn't teleportation, Mon Dupa quickly looked away from the smirking old man, to look at his surroundings. That's when he accepted that his earlier conjecture was true. The old man hadn't teleported, he had somehow reversed time to just after Mon Dupa arrived within the universe instead.
Looking around the universe that was previously covered in his wax, everything was just as calm, quiet and peaceful as it was before, when he had first arrived. His current position was also completely different from where he was just a moment ago as well, he was now floating in the exact place where he previously floated, before he launched himself forward towards the old man.
But strangely, Mon Dupa soon noticed a great difference from the last time that he was at this current location in time. His body was still strangely aged and withered, and was currently still aging rapidly by the second. His skin was also losing its luster by the second, and as well as his entire body, which was actively growing weaker and weaker.
Noticing his rapidly aging body, that was filled with exhaustion from his previous bout with the old man, Mon Dupa finally realized that he had lost the battle. He was forced back in time by the old man, along with his injuries from the previous battle.
After realizing this, he quickly looked towards the old man that was currently smirking at him. Who now looked exactly the same as he did before, when Mon Dupa first arrived, without the slightest look of exhaustion or damage to his body.
Mon Dupa then smirked as well, before proclaiming to the old man, in an aged and haggard voice that sounded nothing like his previous self. "You think you've won right? Well, I believe it's a draw. If you don't stop now, we'll both die here!"
He couldn't help but bluff, even though he knew that a celestial of this caliber that could easily drag his body back in time, was definitely someone with more aces up his sleeves. But thankfully he was already prepared for this celestial's time manipulating witchcraft when the battle began, so he left a little surprise for the old man to discover before the old man could drag him back to the past.
