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

When Tethys woke up, he was surprised to find that he was still alive.

The environment in the prison has also been completely renewed. It is no longer as old and full of stench as before. Although it is still very painful, at least survival is not a problem.

There are fresh meals and drinking water every day. It's a bit shabby, but clean.

Tethys became the only remaining prisoner from the old days. Under normal circumstances, the prison would have opened the prison long ago.

But the reputation of the sea prison as rotten to the core has long been deeply rooted, like the prisoner mark on his body, which cannot be easily erased.

Even when the matter reached the king, he was undecided because he could not find Thesis's files and related records.

Moreover, releasing a criminal who has been marked as a prisoner back into society can easily cause panic.

The disaster had just passed, the Kingdom of Aslan had not yet recovered from its pain, and the newly appointed monarch, Lin En, had no time to take care of other things.

Faced with many problems and challenges, he delegated power to his people and told them to handle their own affairs. However, the group was very troubled about how to deal with the imprisoned Thesis.

Although Senn was not satisfied with Tessis's crime, he could not be tried due to lack of solid evidence. After careful consideration, they finally decided to keep Tessis in prison, but treat him as a special case. In this way, they avoided releasing a potentially dangerous criminal and would not cause public dissatisfaction and doubts.

Thesis is still imprisoned in the sea prison. Compared with before, he no longer needs to worry too much about survival, but other problems also come with it.

For example, in the initial situation that could easily lead to insanity, Thesis's thinking also became confused. In order to record the time, he used to carve a scratch on the wall every day, but later he could not quite remember the purpose of these marks. It took him a long time to understand that this meant he had been imprisoned for a long time.

Although the forced extension of life allowed him to save his life temporarily, it also brought a series of problems.

The most obvious of these is that his memory is gradually declining. Things in the past have become vague, and sometimes he even completely forgets some important details.

In addition, his physical condition has become very bad, he often feels tired and weak, and needs a long rest to recover his energy. These sequelae have brought a lot of inconvenience to his life and made him start to think about his future.

Thesis' memory is declining, and he can't remember many things from the past. His daily life with his brother at home and every day he spent with Medusa are disappearing.

He tried desperately to keep these memories and tried to engrave them on the wall, but in the end, even when he saw familiar things, he could only cry silently and could not remember what had happened before.

He repeated the process of carving on the wall day after day, year after year, always making every effort not to forget, but in the end he remembered nothing.

His family, those relatives who were connected to him by blood and spent countless years with him; his loved one, the one who made his heart beat fast and was willing to give everything for him; his love, that deep and passionate emotion, burning his heart like a flame; his hatred, that strong anger and resentment, always drove him forward. However, all these, the persistence that he refused to give up no matter what, now completely disappeared. It was as if a light breeze blew away everything, leaving only emptiness and silence.

Thesis didn't know how long he had lived like this. Most of the time, he didn't feel real enough to be alive and felt like he had been abandoned by the world.

But whenever he thought of the name Medusa and her figure appeared in his mind, countless surging emotions would surge in his heart, urging him to keep going.

Thesis vaguely felt that he had paid a heavy price to survive, and the easy fading of memory was one of them.

After an unknown amount of time, when the memories in his mind were no longer clear, he gradually lost the motivation to live and completely turned into a walking corpse.

Who is Medusa, and why does my chest become hot when I mention her name?

Who is Thales? His name is so similar to mine. Whenever I think of him, I feel infinite sadness in my heart.

He should have many unforgettable and precious memories, but all of them disappeared completely along with the passing of life.

I can’t recall it, I can’t remember it no matter what. It should be an unforgettable memory, but it’s becoming more and more vague.

I can’t remember who I am, and I can’t remember the meaning of working hard and persevering.

He sank like this, still mechanically carving marks on the wall and pondering the meaning of his survival, until one day many years later, a golden light split the prison in half, and countless prisoners fell into the sea.

I might just die like this, Thesis thought.

This meaningless life will come to an end.

The freezing cold sea water continued to corrode his body, bringing him into endless darkness. The world around him was dim, as if no light could penetrate this dead sea. His body gradually became heavy, unable to resist this powerful force.

He lay quietly on the bottom of the sea, feeling the silence and peace around him. Although his life was gradually fading away, his heart was unusually calm. He knew that he had reached the end of his life and could not turn back. However, he did not feel fear or regret, but accepted this inevitable ending with a peaceful and resolute attitude.

At this moment, he recalled every bit of the past, and those beautiful moments emerged in his mind like twinkling stars. He remembered the warmth, love and friendship he once had, and these precious memories made him feel extremely happy. Although he was at the bottom of the cold sea at this moment, the peace and satisfaction in his heart made him forget all the pain and anxiety.

As time went by, his consciousness began to blur and his body gradually lost consciousness. But his face still maintained a peaceful expression, as if he had found his inner home when bidding farewell to the world. In this last moment, he felt a tranquility beyond life and death, a feeling that made him firmly believe that even if his life ended, his soul would find a new home and continue to flow in the universe.

At this moment, warm sunlight suddenly shone into the seabed that should have been empty.

In the depths of the darkness, a strange figure gradually emerged. Its steps were slow and heavy, as if every step carried endless pressure. As the distance got closer, the figure's appearance began to become clearer.

It was a creepy existence, with a layer of pale and terrifying snake hair covering her head, which danced like twisted tentacles, emitting a strange aura. Her body was covered with dense snake scales, flashing a cold light, which made people shudder. Her limbs looked more like the body of a snake, flexible and full of strength, as if ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.

The whole body was a monster, far from human form. Her appearance made the surrounding atmosphere extremely depressing, as if time had stopped. Tethys stared at this terrifying figure, but he did not feel unspeakable fear and uneasiness as expected, but felt extremely satisfied instead.

It was as if they had met each other somewhere before.
