"Have you heard of Terra's prophecy? The story about the revival of the demon world." The girl wore a black cloak, her voice was soft, but with a hint of oppression.

Matga covered his aching chest and coughed up blood. He stared at the badge on the girl's chest, which was the identification card for members of Shadow Prison.

He ignored the girl's words, but spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and said forcefully: "You are a person from the Shadow Prison, and you are interfering in the affairs between us and the Heaven Realm. What you are doing is against the rules."

“It seems like you haven’t heard of this at all… No wonder, Central Park’s energy supply is only when Antun is asleep.

The inference of prophecy happens to require a great deal of energy, which is why you know nothing about it. "There was an uncomfortable feeling in the girl's eyes, and Matga could see that it was called... pity.

Matga has lived for tens of thousands of years, and no one has ever shown him such an expression, which makes him unable to stop getting angry, but the girl in front of him has very strange methods, and he is no match for her.

After forcing himself to calm down, Matga spoke: "So, what do you want to say? What is the content of the prophecy?"

"The prophecy contains a lot of content, but very little about you, so little that there is only one sentence." The girl walked in front of Matga, squatted down, stretched out her right hand, and touched his head in an almost humiliating manner, "You will all die. The you I'm talking about are not Odin and Tartan.

It is your collective being and beings that are the same or similar to this collective being."

Matga's pupils constricted, and he suddenly remembered what had happened before.

The girl noticed the hesitation in his eyes and nodded slowly: "Shilok is dead, Rotus is dead, Bakar is dead, Diregi is missing... Now, it's Antun's turn."

"If it weren't for your intervention, we could have gone back there. If Antun is dead, the murderer is you! Girl from Shadow Prison." Matga said this, but she actually believed part of it in her heart.

The girl stood up, took a few steps back, looked at Matga carefully, and suddenly said: "But I can let you live, but I don't know if you will believe me."

Matga didn't know why the girl spoke in such a peculiar way. They were enemies rather than friends. Why should she believe her?

He was about to refuse when he heard the girl continue, "Actually, you don't have a choice, because if you don't believe it, I will kill you and find the next person to follow the prophecy."

"I can cooperate with you, but I want to know why you are doing this? The Demon Realm and Terra have nothing to do with your Shadow Prison, and our life and death have nothing to do with you." Matga no longer wanted to think about those things at this time. He just wanted to know the purpose of God.

Hearing Matga's words, the girl smiled happily: "That's good, as for why... the reason is very simple, because that woman is a fake, one of the thirteen of you is a fake.

She wants to use your lives to repair the already broken Terra, which is now the Demon Realm. This is something I must stop.

When Hellux died, the demon world had light, and when Rotus died, the demon world had water of life. Everything was closely related. Her plan was grand, so grand that ordinary people could not even notice what she had done.

As her plan unfolds, the person she impersonates will also meet with tragedy. We could have just stood by and watched, but unfortunately, our master is the person who was replaced.

I want to protect her.”

...

Matga suddenly opened his eyes. He was dreaming again, dreaming about what happened in the past.

Xuanji, a girl from Shadow Prison, suppressed Antun and all the Tartans with her overwhelming strength, and finally formulated a plan to destroy the so-called prophecy.

According to the plan, Antun died in the Dusk Sea, but his soul traveled through time and space and came to a strange world. They need to spend a long time here, and then find an opportunity to defeat the guardian of this world, devour everything in this world, and finally return.

The purpose of doing this is to save Antun's life. As long as Antun is not dead, then the legendary demon Saphir who is about to become the co-lord of the divine realm will not die.

Everything was going well, and it could have been going well.

But this world is different from their original world.

After Matga and the Tartans had spent a thousand years here, they suddenly discovered that there was something like a curse on them, which would erode people's spirit, will, and even their bodies.

When all is lost, they are finished.

Realizing this, Matega began to suspect that this was a trap set by Xuanji, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible. Xuanji was not the will of the world. She could not have created such a grand curse that indiscriminately destroyed all the Tartans, including Matega.

Therefore, Matga concluded that this should be some kind of rule in this world, the purpose of which is to limit the lifespan of living beings.

He didn't know what the point of doing this was, but he had to find a way to avoid it.

So he coordinated the memories of all the Tartans and concentrated all the wear and tear on himself, in order to extend the time of the Tartans.

It was extremely painful to go against the will of the world. The constant pain coming from the depths of his soul almost drove him crazy, and finally he had to fight this pain by falling asleep.

Before today, he had hoped countless times that the so-called guardian would appear before his eyes. As long as he defeated the other party and devoured the origin of this world, he could return.

He had thought it all out. As soon as he returned to his original world, he would go to the divine realm and find the demon Saphir. He would tell him everything, including the news of the girl's death.

Yes, Antun's chance to reopen was bought with Xuan Ji's life, and he would never let the other party's efforts be covered up.

Until the guardian appeared before him and their eyes met, Matga was speechless.

"Demon... Safiir. Are you the guardian of this world?" Matga didn't know how to describe his current mood.

Xuanji said that she made all these efforts to save Saphir, even at the cost of her life, but in the end, the person she wanted to save appeared on the opposite side of him.

Saphir looked at Matega with a complicated expression, a little confused: "Why do you have such an expression? Are you afraid of death? And what is... the guardian of the world?"

“Haha…hahaha…hahahahahaha…” Matga could no longer remain calm. He felt like he was going crazy. “How pathetic…how ridiculous…why on earth did I persist until today…”

Safir felt that the man in front of him was a little mentally unstable, and silently became more alert. The madman was very aggressive, and he must not be tricked by him.

But she was obviously overthinking it. The moment Matga saw her, he completely collapsed, gave up all resistance and effort, and sat down on the ground helplessly.

Saphir and Rimuru looked at each other and felt that this guy seemed to know something.

After thinking for a while, Saphir decided to ask first. She slowly approached Matega and asked softly after confirming that he had no intention of attacking her: "What on earth happened to you? Why did Antun appear in this world?"

"What happened to me..." Matga laughed at herself, "I encountered a member of Shadow Prison. She told me that as long as I can devour this world, we can return to our original world. We can thwart a huge conspiracy and return like a hero... in triumph."

Saphir frowned slightly: "Who is that person?"

"She said her name is Xuanji." Matga raised her head and looked directly into Saphir's eyes, taking in the shock in her eyes, "It seems that you know her.

You know what? She told me that as long as we succeed, we won't die, and you won't die either. So, Saphir, are you dead? Can we... go back?"

“…” Saphir’s mind was a little confused, and he didn’t know how to answer this question for a moment.

Xuan Ji actually died at that time. Calculating the time, it was indeed the case. When the Divine Realm was about to be pacified, Xuan Ji suddenly received some news, and then left, never to return.

Afterwards, Saphir looked for her for a long time but could not find her anymore. It turned out that she died in the Dusk Sea.

Saphir trembled all over, and after a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "I am indeed dead, and I have been betrayed."

"So, we have failed completely, right?" Matga was completely desperate. "I have used the luck of the entire Tartan tribe to set up a large formation to concentrate power. All their dead will become my strength and enhance my ability.

I have been prepared to challenge all enemies. I thought I would win this battle, but unfortunately, the enemy that appears here is you.

If I kill you here, can I still go back..."

Saphir looked at Matga with a look of pity in his eyes: "In the original world, you died and never came back. Just like a speck of dust that was buried in the boundless universe, you never appeared again.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle has already been determined."

"Heh... But I can't give up the lives of the entire Tartan clan!" Matga suddenly attacked after saying this. His body was shining with lightning that symbolized his invincibility. He appeared behind Saphir in a flash. "If only one of us can survive, it may not be me."

He clenched his right hand into a fist and attacked directly at the back of Saphir's head. While attacking, the lightning shield on his body collapsed for a moment.

This is Matga's biggest weakness. He is invincible most of the time, and only reveals a flaw at the moment of attack.

But this momentary flaw was infinitely huge in Saphir's eyes. Matja's punching speed was not fast, so it was almost easy for Saphir to dodge his attack.

He just turned his head slightly and dodged successfully. Matga and the time and space around him were all frozen.

Saphir turned around silently, looking at Matega, who was frozen in mid-air with a crazy look on his face, and sighed slowly: "Mattega... I understand your feelings, but I can't let you devour this world."

What Xuan Ji said was right. Odin and Tartan did have a glimmer of hope. As long as they could devour Teyvat, there would be room for rewriting everything.

But fate played a big joke on them, and the world chosen as their target was Teyvat.

Safire now has two choices.

1: Let Matga go, help him destroy this world, and then return to the original world.

2: Kill Matga and completely cut off the last hope of Odin and the Tartan clan.

The energy level of the world of Teyvat is not high. As long as Antun can leave this secret realm, no one can stop it. Even the Star-Eating Whale is just a small fish in front of the huge Antun.

But this originally perfect plan could not be completed at all because of Saphir's existence.

This seemed to be a joke of fate, but Saphir knew very well in her heart that Xuanji's ability came from her and she was her most loyal believer, so the world she could perceive must be inextricably linked to Saphir.

She was busy trying to prevent the destruction of Tartan and Odin and sent them to this weak world, but she did not think about why this world could be observed by her.

Saphir's death was already a foregone conclusion. Even if she let Matga go, Antun could not go back.

"History cannot be changed. Even if I show mercy, there will definitely be an existence that Antun cannot contend with and wipe him out." Saphir took out Veronica, turned it into a long sword, and stabbed it into Matga's heart without hesitation. "You said, right... the last king."

"..." A long whisper came from the void, as if it led to the past and seemed to come from the future. The whisper seemed far and near, and finally turned into a sigh and completely fell silent.

Matga was stabbed in the heart and fell to the ground helplessly, and began to spit out blood uncontrollably.

But his expression didn't look sad at all. He just opened and closed his mouth vigorously, as if he wanted to say something.

But he couldn't say anything, his life was fading away quickly. In the last moment of his life, Matga took out a blood-stained necklace from his arms, looked at the necklace deeply, then placed it on the bleeding position of his heart, and gradually died.

Safir knew that Matga was seeking death on purpose. After learning of the failure of his plan, he no longer had the faith to continue living, because Safir was the hurdle that he could never overcome.

Saphir recognized the blood-stained necklace. It belonged to Xuanji and was also the pendant she had worn before. There was a rune engraved on it that could save the holder's life at a critical moment.

But Matga did not choose to activate it. Instead, he took it out before he died and placed it on his chest as a gesture of remembrance.

Witnessing the death of the last Tartan, Saphir's heart was filled with surging emotions and he was in a daze.

Rimuru looked at her, hesitant to speak.

After a long time, Saphir slowly came back to his senses: "I'm fine... Let them come over and destroy Antuon's heart. Then, everything will be over."

“…Okay.” Rimuru nodded and said nothing more.

Matga's thoughts are connected to Antun's. As time goes by, he becomes Antune's external brain. So when Matga dies, Antun completely loses consciousness.

The next thing was simple. Without any obstacles, all the people on the Noah rushed over, entered Antun's body from the black volcano, and destroyed its heart.

After experiencing death in the Dusk Sea, Antun died once again in this unknown sea.

Gulab stayed on the boat and watched Safir come back. He said nothing, just looked at him silently.

They all heard the conversation between Saphir and Matga, and because they knew part of the truth, they didn't know how to comfort them.

On the surface, Antun's life or death has nothing to do with Saphir, but in fact, the passage of time in each world is different. Even if you spend tens of millions of years here, only a few days or even seconds will pass when you return there.

All of these things are possible, and Saphir cut off Antun's hope of survival and destroyed Xuan Ji's plan. This means that Saphir in that world was actually killed indirectly by herself.

This is where the real cruelty comes in.

"Saphir...we've solved it." After an unknown amount of time, Ying, covered in blood, came to Saphir.

Saphir raised his head and looked at the blonde girl with red eyes.

Ying felt that her condition was too bad, so she squatted down and gently hugged Saphir: "Let's go back. Don't think too much."

After a long time, Saphir's eyes finally turned slowly and he nodded slightly: "Well, let's go back."
