Another World: My life is on the hook!

"What is it that's looking for you? The Defilers?"

Lynn stared at him with a frown.

The figure said hoarsely:

“It’s even scarier.”

He looked towards the gate, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the thick darkness of the castle and see the chaotic time and space outside.

"You should have known the truth about this world. The world we live in is an ancient dream of a sleeper. You can understand the disorder that first appeared as the random thoughts at the origin of his subconscious mind, chaotic and without rules. Orderly creatures like us are the occasional trace of order that is born among his countless chaotic thoughts."

He spoke with a tired look on his face.

"But as he gradually woke up, the world was no longer just a simple binary opposition of disorder and order. Some things were also being born little by little in this dream that belonged to him as he woke up."

"You can interpret this as...his nightmare."

Lin En's brows were furrowed, and his heart seemed to be tightened all of a sudden.

"nightmare?"

The white-haired man stared at him, holding onto the railing of the throne, and said:

"There is not a single beautiful thing in his mind. It is like his appearance itself is to vent his omnipresent malice, and those nightmares, to some extent, represent his thoughts."

"Once he wakes up, not only will our world be annihilated immediately, but he will also represent disaster itself to the outside world."

Lynn's heart suddenly sank.

He breathed rapidly and said:

"Is this the information you obtained after merging with the Sleeper?"

At this moment, Lin En no longer regarded him as a mere wisp of spiritual consciousness.

Instead, they regarded him as the real Violet Lord who had taken over the Sleeper.

He raised his head, looked up into the sky, and said:

"That's it."

He was silent for a long time, then said:

"I used to be too idealistic. I entered the sleeper's dream. I thought that as long as I could merge with him and sleep forever in this fantasy, I could bring a perfect ending to everyone. I could save this world and her."

"But all of this is just wishful thinking on my part, because I have never really thought about how horrible this existence that I have entered is..."

He shook his head.

"But it's not irreversible, because my original body hasn't perished yet. I took over his body. Although I couldn't truly become his consciousness, I have actually become a part of him during the fusion."

"And the reason why he couldn't wait to destroy all traces of me in the main universe is because I can still fight against him."

"For every raven I left behind."

“They are all anchors of my humanity.”

His words made Lin En unable to calm down for a long time, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.

Although he had already guessed many things in his mind.

But when he really confirmed it, he still found it difficult to suppress the throbbing in his heart.

He looked up at the white-haired man, finally took a deep breath, and said:

"really……"

Because he knew the origin of the raven, he had heard the legend of the fairy tale.

The raven always arrives before the cold winter and leaves in the spring. He always brings hope and dispels the cold.

This already shows that when he created countless ravens, he had already placed his deepest beauty and hopes in them, because he hoped that these ravens could become the defenders of the new world.

The white-haired man stared at him and finally asked hoarsely:

"How many ravens are still alive in this world? There should be a lot, right?"

He was just a wisp of spiritual consciousness and could not truly represent the Violet Lord, but he still remembered that in the years when he was divided, ravens still existed and spread throughout the universe.

Lynn: “Yeah… a lot.”

White-haired man: "That's good..."

Lin En: "Many people died, but I am the only one alive~"

"..."

Silence spreads.

Although Lynn didn't really want to say this, it was indeed the fact.

after a long time.

The white-haired man finally gave a bitter smile, as if this was the result he had expected.

"So you can't die, even for your own sake."

Lin En looked at him and said:

"What else do you know? About the future, about time. You said you saw me three thousand years ago. But do you know that I may not belong to that time and space?"

The white-haired man didn't say anything for a long time, but he finally said:

"I am just a trace of his former spiritual consciousness. I am not the real him, but I do see the traces of time in you, and this makes me sure that, at least for a long period of time, this world will continue to exist. As long as there is a raven still alive in this world, my original body will still be able to compete with him."

He slowly extended his hand toward Lynn.

A mysterious power surged in his hands.

"And this is a promise I made to you."

"If you can show up three thousand years later, I will personally hand this demonic body to you. If you can live to the end of time, I believe that you will eventually see my true form."

"Lynn."

……

……

Outside the castle.

A huge darkness enveloped her consciousness, and she seemed to be having an eternal dream. The twisted darkness and terrifying evil thoughts seemed to devour everything she had.

But just when she was about to fall into nothingness completely, she heard the loud crow's cry.

The self-bound angel suddenly woke up and opened his eyes abruptly.

She sat up suddenly.

The frozen flow of time resumed its flow once again, and the purple-black terror that had shrouded her before had disappeared at this moment.

"Are you okay? Princess!"

She immediately saw the girl half-kneeling beside her.

She covered her right arm, and could vaguely see that half of her body seemed to be on the verge of complete disorder, as if she had just experienced a bloody battle.

The self-bound angel immediately stood up and tried to help her.

But Avril shook her head and stared ahead with a serious look.

She followed Avril's gaze and looked forward. At that moment she was almost stunned and couldn't utter a word.

Outside the city, on the wasteland where time flows.

Those twisted nightmare-like monsters still existed, but the pollution that spread over hundreds of miles had been suppressed back to the area in front of them. Hundreds of great demons and the three twisted beings with black mist steaming around them seemed to be in a silent confrontation, but did not dare to step into the forbidden area again.

"he is……"

In front of them, a figure surging in time stood there, with his back to them, confronting the invader from outside of time.

He was silent, his white hair flowing down from under his pitch-black hood like a waterfall.

But it is so close.

But it seemed as if there was endless time between me and them, so far away and unreachable.
