On request of @300iqprower:

Rematch of Ragnarok, Round ???:

"I told you, human," the almighty Norse goddess proclaimed as she raised her shield above her head. "God, man, it doesn't matter. No one can defy their fate."

TWITCH…

Before the goddess could crush the human's body beneath her shield, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. To most, it would be of little importance. Something inconsequential, especially to one of a god's power. But to the goddess shackled by fate? It was nothing more than a miracle beyond even the divine.

"What-?!"

CRUNCH!

Before the goddess of the sun could even comprehend the impossible sight before her, a strike flew in at near-impossible speeds. Too shocked at the development before her, Sol could not even hope to dodge or block the attack, the blow hitting her directly in the jaw with a resounding echo.

At once, the once-frozen time had now restarted, and to the shock of everyone, man, god, and valkyrie alike, for the first time since the fight had begun, the seemingly invincible Sol was laying back-first on the ground, unmoving. And on his feet, with his arm outstretched in a straight punch was none other than Maxwell himself, a wide grin on his face.

"Caught you."

"-the end of-HUH?!" Heimdall cried out in disbelief, his head looking between the two combatants. "U-u-uh, against all expectations, the Mathematical Master of Mankind has pulled a complete reversal on us! With a single punch, unseen by anyone, James Clerk Maxwell has managed to counter Sol's impossible speed!"

"A… amazing!" Goll managed out. "How did he manage to catch up with something that fast?!"

"Speed? Hardly." the genius scoffed. "It took me a while to figure out your trick, I have to admit." The Unifier of Physics adjusted his glasses, smiling wide. "But you taking it easy on me gave me enough chances to see what you were doing…"

"You were stopping time on me, weren't you?"

Wordlessly, Sol got to her feet, not even bothering to respond to Maxwell's words as she looked him over.

"What, she can stop time?!" a member of the human side asked incredulously.

"You mean like how Zeus did back in the last Ragnarok?"

"The ease of which you returned to your combat stance, the lack of effort put into each blow, the fact that your attacks didn't even seem to disturb the sand on the ground… If it was a matter of speed, none of this would make sense," Maxwell continued. "But if you managed to halt the flow of time completely, it would explain everything." Pointing a finger to his temple, he gave the god a wry grin. "You don't even have to say a word. The very look of contempt on your face and the fact that my gambit worked is enough to prove my hypothesis correct!"

"Impossible!" Ares cried out. "He figured out all that after taking a few measly blows?! Not only that, but he somehow found a way to counter it?! He… Is he like-"

"No." Thor rumbled coldly. "This man is nothing like the First Human that fought against Zeus. He's… much different."

"Indeed," Hermes added. "In the first Ragnarok, Adam was 'merely' able to instinctively counter Zeus's divine blows because of his Eyes of the Lord allowing him to copy his techniques. This human, Maxwell… he found a path to escape his fate all on his own."

"Here's a little something I'm going to call Maxwell's Theorem of Frozen Time," Maxwell began, adjusting his glasses. "Assuming the laws of physics are the same for all present… For an entity to be able to move in a space where time equals zero, that entity would most likely require an infinite amount of energy. Ergo?"

"If one was able to generate an infinite amount of energy themselves…" Newton began, mouth nearly agape in shock.

"Then they would be able to move in the time stop themselves! Of course!" Brunhilde finished, tapping a fist in her hand. "It makes perfect sense!"

"Huh?! Infinite energy?!" Goll repeated dumbly. "But isn't that impossible?! How does that make any sense?!"

"You're right that something like infinite energy is impossible to attain for most humans… But Maxwell isn't most humans, Goll," Brunhilde replied. "Especially with the power of his Volund - Maxwell's Demon!"

Indeed, the thought experiment that made Maxwell a name known by all mankind: Maxwell's Demon. Originating from a letter Maxwell sent to his fellow scientist Peter Guthrie Tait, the experiment is as follows: a creature described as a 'demon' operates a gate that separates two containers of gas. The demon proceeds to open the gate in a way that the faster gas molecules are trapped on one side, and slower molecules are trapped on the other. In this process, the entropy of the chambers decrease with no effort at all.

But such a thing cannot be accomplished by humanity… Until now. With the power of the valkyrie Ráðgríð - The Counseling One, Maxwell has become the very demon he dreamed of centuries ago, able to manipulate his own energy beyond the laws of physics themselves! Through this, the impossible is accomplished: the reversal of entropy itself! Thus is the power of He Who Saw the Threads of the Universe!

Time's Arrow Reversal!

"I never thought I'd see the day," Newton whispered breathlessly. "The very dream of all mankind, made manifest…"

"I admit, I had only thought of something like this possible in my dreams," the Founder of Modern Physics began, looking over his own fist in barely-disguised awe. "A truly infinite source of energy… To think my silly little thought experiment would one day be in the palm of my hands. Hahahaha!" Maxwell clapped his hands, his glasses shining menacingly in the light of the sun as he locked eyes with Sol defiantly.

"Well, 'god', what does your 'destiny' have to say about this advancement of science?"

Sol gave Maxwell the same dead stare she had throughout the fight, unimpressed at the scientist's boasting. Slowly, she began to chew, before spitting something out on the ground. A bloodied tooth. Coldly, she wiped off the remaining blood on her face as she raised her shield to her arm, a small smile showing on her face.

"Hmph. You were early by five minutes."
