I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

Medusa suddenly realized that in her current state, she could no longer see Thesis.

She fled from the sea of ​​fire, running madly, and finally stopped in front of a piece of amber as clear as a mirror.

She once thought that even if the world could not accommodate her, as long as she tried hard to adapt, she could still have her own happiness.

However, Medusa has become an existence that is not accepted by society, both in the past and now. She sighed in her heart, wondering what Thesis would think if he saw her now like a snake-haired witch?

This question weighed heavily on her mind, and she didn't even dare to imagine how Tessis might react.

Maybe he would retreat in fear, maybe he would question angrily, or maybe... She didn't dare to think further. Because no matter what, such a change would have a huge impact on their relationship, and how deep this impact would be, even Medusa herself could not predict.

I might as well just die like this, she thought.

"As expected, no matter how hard you try, you still can't escape your predetermined fate." At this moment, a sigh came from behind Medusa. She turned around and saw a familiar figure - Xiyue.

Medusa's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she saw. At this moment, Bass's soul and Medusa's consciousness instantly overlapped, and she couldn't help but blurt out: "You are... Xiyue."

Compared with her previous appearance of radiating a sacred and noble aura, Xiyue is still beautiful now, but she exudes a kind of maturity and charm that is unique to human women. This temperament makes people feel peaceful in their hearts, as if all troubles can be dissipated in her smile.

"The outcome is set now and cannot be easily changed, but I still hope you don't give up."

"But what can I do now?"

Faced with Xiyue's loving words, Medusa Lu had a tearful expression on her face.

Xiyue bravely looked directly into her terrifying eyes: "This Mirror Lake contains a huge amount of spatial energy, which can bend light, so that others will not be harmed even if they look directly into your eyes."

"Does this really work?"

"Of course, this era is full of mistakes. Your ending should have been happy and perfect, but you happened to encounter such a bad era. It's really regrettable. Why not try to spend some time waiting and witness a better future."

Medusa understood Xiyue's words, but her heart was already shrouded in pain and despair. The person she once loved deeply has now become an obstacle she cannot cross. Every time she thinks of Thesis, her heart feels like it is being torn apart, and she is in so much pain that she can't breathe. She doesn't know how to face this reality, and she dare not imagine what better possibilities there will be in the future.

For Medusa, Thesis is everything in her life, and without him, everything becomes meaningless. She doesn't know if she still has the courage to pursue new happiness, or whether she can believe in love again. Her world has collapsed, and Xiyue's advice seems to be just an unattainable fantasy.

However, Xiyue did not give up. She continued to persuade Medusa: "I know this is hard to accept, but you have to believe that time will slowly heal your pain. Maybe one day in the future, all your problems will be solved. After all, the current situation can't be worse."

Medusa listened quietly, tears welling up in her eyes.

She had experienced the cruelty of fate, but her deep love for Tessis still drove her to try one last fight. Seeing her firm determination, Xiyue smiled gently and handed a cyan crystal butterfly to her.

This crystal butterfly is no ordinary creature. It contains powerful spatial magic that can help Medusa find a safe hiding place in the Mirror Lake.

Medusa gratefully accepted the crystal butterfly, with a determined light in her eyes. However, her worries did not completely dissipate, because she knew that Tethys was in danger at this time. Xiyue saw her worry and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I will protect him."

Medusa looked at Xiyue, her eyes full of trust and gratitude.

She took a deep breath, turned and walked towards Mirror Lake, her figure gradually disappearing into the lake.

After Tessis was imprisoned, he thought there would be a turning point, but that was not the case.

Those residents who set the fire did not hesitate to put all the blame on Thesis.

The court finally made a ruling, deciding to put Tessis in a sea prison and sentenced him to life imprisonment.

This verdict plunged Thesis into despair and helplessness. He could not imagine what kind of future he would face.

In prison, he lived in darkness every day, unable to tell the difference between day and night, unable to see the sunlight, not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and because of the harsh environment, he was often attacked by diseases.

When Xiyue found Thesis, he was curled up in a corner and sleeping, calling Medusa's name from time to time.

At this time, riots were spreading throughout the country. Even if he helped Thesis escape, he would probably die in the disaster along with the Gorgon Medusa.

Thinking of this, Xiyue decided not to rescue him, but released an orange jewel butterfly to protect his life.

In prison, Thesis could only eat rotten rice and drink dirty water every day, leading a miserable prison life.

He had thought of giving up countless times, but when he thought that Medusa might still be alive, he wanted to persevere no matter what.

Thesis still complained to the jailers every day, telling them that he was wronged, but the jailers told him that most of the people here came in confused, and all of them were framed by the powerful or forced to take the blame for them.

People like Thesis would die soon after they came in, and then a new batch of people would be sent in.

No one cared about Thesis' life or death. He could only hold on by missing Medusa and Thales.

He was used to working on time every day and was very sensitive to time. He could feel the passage of time even if he had no idea what was happening outside.

Tethys thought, since he couldn't get out for the time being, he should do something to try to stay awake and stop himself from having wild thoughts, so as not to go crazy like everyone else.

With every passing day, Thesis carved a thin scratch on the wall, and his strong body became thinner and thinner. Even after several years, there was no hope of leaving here.

One night, he was so tired that his body became extremely weak due to lack of necessary energy, and he was confused for a while. If he fell asleep like this, he might never wake up again.

At this time, a green butterfly fluttered in and transformed into the figure of a Gorgon.

"Thesis, live on. Never give up hope, because I love you so deeply."
