Another World: My life is on the hook!

He also had a premonition that the convergence of the long river of time and the end of time was just around the corner.

Perhaps with just a final stretch of time, they can reach that future destination.

next moment.

Lynn suddenly opened his eyes in the city of darkness, his gaze piercing through the night with countless rays of light. He had returned to his own point in time.

Although he had stayed in the past for a thousand years, in reality, it was only a fleeting moment in this point in time.

But just as Lynn stood up...

As if sensing something, he suddenly turned his head and looked out into the endless void beyond the dilapidated Black Night City.

silence.

nothingness.

The streets were deserted, and a cold wind was blowing.

"Head, what's wrong with you?"

Zuo Zuo asked, stunned.

Lynn remained silent, his expression calm, but Zuo Zuo could clearly sense that the black fire within him had entered a battle state and could be unleashed at any moment.

hum-

Almost before Zuo Zuo could react, Lynn drew his sword. Amidst the raging flames of the blade, he instantly cleaved the path between Black Night City and the outer void, creating a massive rift that stretched into the chaotic abyss. He had actually carved it out with a single strike.

And it was at the end of that raging black fire that they saw the black-robed man's long robe fluttering in the wind.

Separated by an endless distance.

The figure stood outside that immense calamity, slowly turning its head, its eyes seemingly carrying a faint smile, confronting him across the distance.

Zuo Zuo trembled instantly and said:

"how come……"

Lynn calmly gazed in that direction, gripping the black knife, and said:

"Interesting. I never expected to see you in real life. Were you waiting for me? Or do you think you can take advantage of my weakness this time to deliver a fatal blow?"

Because not long ago, during the time he spent with Dreamweaver, he had already fought against him.

The figure in black robes smiled and said:

"No, I've come to say goodbye."

Lynn's eyes narrowed slightly.

Whether in this war of time or in the impact of the end of time, he has fought against it countless times, and he has already gained some understanding of this being.

Just as he was learning, he was also becoming more and more adept at mastering the power of that calamity through repeated confrontations with it.

However, if we remove the impact of size...

Lynn also found it hard to say whether he could defeat him in an equal duel. His temperament and skills were the most powerful and terrifying of all the Nightmares he had ever seen.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean……"

The figure smiled and spoke slowly.

“If we all had free will, we might actually be a good pair of rivals and friends. It’s just a pity that time and fate are beyond our control. After I destroy you, I will also end my existence in this era and finally return to my Lord.”

His tone seemed to soften slightly.

"So even though I'm reluctant, I still want to say goodbye to you, because without your threat, I wouldn't have been released."

Lynn frowned.

He had a feeling that something was off about him, but at that moment a vague unease arose in his heart.

The figure smiled at him and finally said:

"Lynn, my preparations are complete. After countless wars of time, I can finally tell you that we no longer need to fight. That's why I came here, because at the moment you die, I will also end my mission and go to nothingness with you."

Lynn's pupils contracted sharply, but before he could speak...

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

The entire reality trembled violently at that moment. Both the surrounding void and the city of night seemed to be corroded, gradually transforming into nothingness in the blurry light and shadow.

When Lynn looked down at his hands, cracks appeared one after another, like dense ivy creeping up the ground.

Not just his body.

Even his soul and his will were instantly cracked.

"What's going on?! Your head! What's wrong with your head?!"

Zuo Zuo, pale and pale, quickly transformed into human form, watching the changes that kept appearing on Lynn's body.

"past!"

Lynn suddenly turned around.

Has something changed in the past?

But that's not right!

If history is invaded, he, who possesses the divine power of time, can still achieve partial transcendence, which allows him to return in time to stop and rectify the situation.

But then again...

"Head!!"

Zuo Zuo shouted loudly.

Because at that very moment, countless dense, dark lines of cause and effect bound him tightly in an instant, like endless chains wrapped around time, trying to drag him into the abyss of collapse and turmoil.

At that moment, Lynn seemed to understand, but it was already too late.

"Lynn, do you remember what you said to me before the end of time?"

The figure spoke softly.

"You asked me why I launched those pointless time invasions time and time again, and you did see part of the result. It's because every time you descend into history, you give the ravens that carry you a tiny, insignificant change, and these changes, when accumulated, will trigger a dramatic change in history."

“But you’re wrong, Lynn, that’s not what I’m after.”

He paced back and forth in this collapsing reality, as if reminiscing, or perhaps feeling melancholy, but in the end, it all turned into a faint smile.

"Because I know you too well, just like I know myself. Even if I give you just a little bit of information, you can draw inferences and quickly deduce other people's plans from those tiny clues, thus breaking the deadlock. This also means that if I really want to deal with you, I must be absolutely cautious and not let you discover even the slightest flaw before I finish my plan."

"That's why I tried my best to mislead you about my purpose during the war of the Old Gods."

Lynn gritted his teeth coldly, the countless dark lines that stretched from the past binding him firmly in place.

"what have you done?"

The figure stared at him and said:

“You were aware of the process, but you couldn’t guess the outcome. I guided you to descend into this time and time again, not for the slight weight you gave to those ravens. What I needed was your descent itself. Our countless invasions of history have made you almost ubiquitous in this long river of time.”

"But you should understand."

"Causality is a very fragile thing. While the long river of time can adjust it to a certain extent, when countless paradoxes occur at the same time, even the most perfect mechanism will fail."

His figure gradually transformed into a dark phantom and vanished.

"And now, with the death of just one raven, your arrival, which spans the course of history, will become the longsword that kills you, delivering the final blow."
