After the girl escapes, the fairies go looking for her while they talk about how Balzac will be furious with the news, but No Tiempo hears them, corners them and encloses them in bubbles that slow them down.

When she arrives at her time vault, this being appears to the girl, undoing the feather of the angel that was escorting her. There, he calls her by her name and introduces himself. He asks her the reason why she is in that world, and is curious that she wants to stop time. Between tricks, he tells her that he can help her, but he is going to show her certain scenes to see if that is what she wants. Upon receiving her positive response, he tells her that all she has to do is give him the gem from his vault (which is the heart of his watch). Upon obtaining it, everything stops. He tells her that nothing has happened and nothing will happen because his time has begun to stop, and disappears from the place just when Balzac the bear, Amelia's clock operator, arrives.

Thanks to this character, we are told that No Tiempo feeds on the gems of the people who come to the Fields of Time to stop their time, just like Amelia.

When she insists that she wants to reverse her mistake, the bear mentions that the only one capable of helping her is the Lord of Cycles. He tells her that he is a being that maintains the balance of time in all existing worlds, but they have not heard from him for many years.

After Amelia left to find Captain Needle, No Time arrives at his lair, where he begins to drain the energy from the gem with a machine. He claims that very soon, time will disappear from that and the other worlds.

After the little girl managed to find the boy and they were traveling on his ship, Captain Needle has some flashbacks of the past where he had faced No Tiempo, but for unknown reasons, the antagonist separated him from his best friend: a fairy named Martina.

It can be imagined that the thorn that corrupted the Lord of the Past was made by No Tiempo. After they recovered Martina and continued with the trip, No Tiempo notices the angel who takes care of Amelia, called Malachi. He says that everything that begins, must end. Finally, he goes to look for the ship.

Upon finding the ship, he takes advantage of the fact that Torque is asleep and uses his power to disorient the magic compass they had to get to the Palace of Cycles. Suddenly, different black holes called "abysses" begin to appear in the sky, which threaten to disintegrate them from existence. There, No Tiempo appears again, complaining why they insist on following if there are rules.

Captain Needle tells him that this time he is not going to beat him or his friends, but Amelia is going to confront him. He reveals to them that the girl voluntarily gave him her time gem, and asks her if that was not what she wanted. When she answers that she does not want to disappear, he tells her that there is no turning back, because his duty is to consume everyone's time, and hers is over. Upon hearing Captain Needle say that they are not going to leave her alone, he answers that so be it. He refrains from facing the boy, going to take Amelia in one of his abysses. When the captain is going to attack him, he stops him with his telekinesis and pushes him away. Even so, he receives the explosion of a bomb that the boy throws at him. He attacks Martina as a consequence. In that, Malachi appears and they have a tense fight between them, who always prevents him from attacking the crew. Even so, No Tiempo manages to immobilize him and destroy him completely, watching as the ship breaks apart and lands violently on the ground.

When the protagonists arrive at the Palace of Cycles, he impersonates the voice of the Lord of Cycles, speaking to Amelia about what she wants. He answers that he knows her and knows a lot about her, where she comes from and what she has been through. When she tells him that she knows that No Tiempo had deceived her and is going to disappear, she answers that Balzac had not told her the whole truth, since her castle and those who live in it will suffer the same fate. While she does not exist, they will not either. He was referring to the fact that Balzac was slowly dying. He emphasizes that he has not answered his question about what she wanted, and makes his presence felt.

However, he begins to have an internal struggle between his benign and malignant parts, turning out to be that the Lord of Cycles and No Time were one and the same being. The Lord of Cycles tells Amelia that she has almost no strength left and that the other part of her is very powerful. When the girl asks him who he really is, he tells her 2 names, mentioning that he is that which flows and that which grants and ends time.

When she reminds him of what she did with her gem and Malachi, No Time tells her that she only fulfilled her wish and the rest are the consequences. The Lord of Cycles tells her that there is nothing left to do, since the gem has lost its energy. He adds that things begin and end, being dominated by his evil part, who destroys Amelia's gem in front of her. Then, he takes everyone away from the girl and encloses her in a bubble that disintegrates her. Before disappearing, she asks the Lord of Cycles to bring Malachi back to life, since he only wanted to help her. Then, chasms form in the Fields of Time, which disintegrate everything around them.

Thanks to Malachi still being alive and helping Amelia to restore herself (with the help of Balzac's fairies), the angel's divine glow stops No Time, making him finally return to normal as The Lord of Cycles. He tells Amelia that she has finally regained her time, and therefore, the balance of it, since she had understood that the only thing that exists is the present, an instant that comes and goes, as small and fun as Here and Now.

When Amelia asks him why the past and the future exist, he answers that it is to know what we were, the successes and mistakes we made and what we could become if in the here and now we do what is necessary to achieve it. Then, he restores Amelia's gem and gives it back to her. When she thanks him, he answers that the thanks are for her. Thanks to that, Amelia manages to restore her time and bring everything back to normal.

~ No Tiempo meeting Amelia for the first time
The person you gave your gem to is called No Tiempo. He feeds on the gems of beings who come here to stop their time...return to the past or live in the future. Of beings who want to alther their reality...like you.
~ Balzac to Amelia about No Tiempo
Balzac: No, no, no, Malachi. You better than anyone know that this girl's gem is impossible to recover.

Amelia: Almost. You said it was ALMOST impossible.
Balzac: It takes a very strong spirit to defeat No Tiempo. Many have tried, and no one has succeeded.
Amelia: I just want to get my time back and go home.
Balzac: Without the gem, it is impossible.
Here: Oh, but sir, there must be some way.
Balzac: The Lord of Cycles is the only one who can help you recover your gem, reverse the effects of your mistake.
Amelia: Lord of Cycles?
Balzac: The Lord of the Cycles maintains balance in the universe. In all worlds, in all existing planes, he is the one who maintains balance. The gem you have given to No Tiempo has made him more powerful and the balance is in danger. We haven't heard from the Lord of the Cycles for years, and no one knows the way to his palace.

Amelia: You know me?
Lord of Cycles' Voice: That's right. I know a lot about you, I know where you come from and what you've been through.
Now: So, why ask?
Amelia: So, you know that No Tiempo tricked me and when the power of my gem is consumed...I will disappear. Also...Malachi is gone now.
Lord of Cycles' Voice: It seems that Balzac did not tell you the whole truth. It's not just you that will disappear. Your castle and everyone who lives in it will too. If you don't exist, neither do they.
Amelia: Why? Balzac?!
Balzac: Hurry...up, Amelia.
Lord of Cycles' Voice/No Tiempo: You haven't answered my question yet. What is it that you want?
Amelia: He is...he is...!
Lord of Cycles/No Tiempo: Fools...the end of...Amelia, I have almost no strength left. It's very powerful!

~ Amelia praying to the Lord of Cycles for her angel before she dissapears

Lord of Cycles: To know what we were, the successes and mistakes we made. And what we could become, if in the here and now, we do what is necessary to achieve it.
