Another World: My life is on the hook!

The endless nightmares melted away like ice and snow before him, and the demonic spirits were no longer a match for him as he burned. At that moment, he charged toward the end of time with an almost crushing force.

But he lost this battle.

That was also the first time he truly witnessed just how terrifying the calamity at the end of time was.

Grand, terrifying, indescribable.

His size was so enormous that even to him it was unimaginable.

It wasn't until that moment that Lynn truly understood the immense crisis he faced at the end of time. If he didn't retrace his steps and cut off time, there was virtually no chance of defeating that dark sky.

When the black-robed man summoned boundless power from that calamity, and his size rapidly increased to surpass Lynn's, Lynn knew that this battle would not yield any results.

But Lynn still chose to meet him.

In this battle, Lynn was defeated.

However, it also gave us a substantial understanding of the power of that calamity.

For an instant.

Lynn opened his eyes in the City of Night, his will returning to his physical body in reality, leaving the battlefield of the end of time.

"Head, how are you?!"

Zuo Zuo trembled as she asked a question.

That battlefield was far beyond her comprehension, just as mortals cannot understand gods. But at the moment their massive bodies collided, she saw the sky-covering black fire above her head being extinguished swiftly, just as even the most terrifying fire could not advance further under the silent, cold winter.

“He’s right. With my current strength, even if I rushed into the end of time, I wouldn’t be a match for that calamity.”

Lynn gasped for breath.

"But this is a good start, isn't it?"

This battle gave him a deeper understanding of the concept of the end, and also gave him a more profound understanding of the direction he was going to pursue next.

Because he was certain of one thing.

He is now walking the same path as the Lord of the End. The process may be different, but the final result is similar. Only by becoming the essence of the End can he truly reach the pinnacle where He is.

And now, isn't there a ready-made teacher?

"Zuo Zuo, have you detected anything?"

"It's...it's all been mapped out. The moment the head went in, Zuo Zuo used her dream to gather information about what was inside!"

"very good!"

Without any hesitation, Lynn immediately stepped into the dream and began investigating the image reflected by Zuo Zuo.

This is also another purpose of his attempt to reach the end of time. He did go to the end of time once a few hundred years ago, but he did not have a deep understanding of the specific situation there. More importantly, as they got closer and closer to that end, the end of time was also constantly changing, because the arrival of those nightmare demons was the best proof.

In the dream, the image reflected by Zuo Zuo appeared.

Lynn observed carefully.

As his observations progressed, he finally confirmed his earlier guess.

"It seems I was right. The only things truly bound by time are that calamity and the me at its end. When I retrace my steps, that calamity, in fact, is also traversing the long river of history once more, just like me. And if that's the case..."

Lynn turned his head, his eyes reflecting the endless void outside the city of night.

"As long as time continues to move forward."

"Then our spacetime will eventually replace everything there at the moment when it reaches the end of time."

At that time, the figure that severed time will cease to exist, replaced by the present him. Correspondingly, the calamity in this present time and space will replace the one at the end of time, becoming the final enemy he will face.

Because this is essentially a rewriting and overwriting of history.

"If that's the case, do you think He will be weakened? After all, the experience has changed, and compared to the original history, He must have eaten much less."

Zuo Zuo asked urgently.

Lynn thought for a moment and said:

"It's hard to say, but even if it does, it might not be weakened much, because for Him, the process of revival is the most important thing, and in our spacetime, He has not actually encountered too many obstacles."

"He is still Him, whether in the past or the future. The only one who has truly made a significant change is me."

Lynn's eyes flickered.

But what truly worries him now is not himself, but the version of himself that still exists at the end of time.

He still vividly remembered the scene when he was pulled into the end of time, the nightmares frozen in the sky, and the last remaining island. But what he saw now was completely different from what he remembered. All the nightmares had been released, and the seventy-two pillars of nightmare demons had already appeared in history.

All of this proves that his power to sever time has been greatly weakened.

He also recalled once again the words the painter had said to him before.

"Although I'm not entirely sure, if we consider the worst-case scenario, the most likely cause of this situation is..."

Lynn pondered the matter repeatedly, his expression growing serious.

"The God of Time may still be alive."

Zuo Zuo was suddenly jolted.

This was the only possibility Lynn could think of, because otherwise, there was no way to explain why those nightmares could travel through time again and again to interfere with the entire past history, and the situation of the end of time reinforced his judgment.

Zuo Zuo asked in astonishment, "You mean..."

Lynn's eyes flickered as he said, "The God-King I had a brief encounter with before was just a phantom that revived in this timeline. His true form may never have appeared in our history. If he really still exists, then it is very likely that he is at the end of time right now."

Because the true authority over time lies there, in his hands at that very end.

Although I'm not entirely sure.

But if it really is as he thinks, then at the end he will not only have to maintain the course of the entire history, but also have to face the struggle and control of the Time God King over this power.

The pressure he faced was immense.

"If that's really the case, then before this spacetime connects with the end, we will inevitably face a huge counterattack. Neither that God King nor those Nightmares will stand by and watch me complete this path, because if they weren't afraid, they wouldn't have stopped me."

Lynn said in a deep voice.

Zuo Zuo felt a tingling, numb sensation on her head.

This further convinced Lynn that this path was correct; at least his direction was absolutely right, because if he couldn't threaten the resurgence of that calamity, they wouldn't be running around so frantically.

So now the most important thing is...

In this final counterattack, how exactly will they deal with him?

How can we kill him in one fell swoop and make him fall before the final destination?

"Brain, what do you think can kill you now?"

Zuo Zuo suddenly asked.

Lynn blurted out without hesitation:

"Cause and effect and time."

Time can disrupt his past, but cause and effect are the foundation that existed before he transcended it.

If either of these two things goes wrong, all his previous efforts could be in vain.

"Head..."

Zuo Zuo's voice suddenly became a little low.

“Everyone is gone now, which means that, at least in the present moment, your karmic ties have been almost completely severed… But if you absolutely must sever all ties with this dream world, have you ever considered that… what still binds you now are those things from the past…”

Lynn was taken aback.

He looked at the girl sitting beside him. She hesitated, her head down, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What do you want to say?"

"What I'm trying to say is, can Brain really succeed? This... this should only be a one-time chance, right? To become the End itself, but with so many karmic ties from the past still binding us, Brain, how confident do you think you are in successfully completing this advancement?"

Zuo Zuo raised her head, looking somewhat dazed.

"Because the end, by its very nature, means giving up everything."
