"Damn Creator… He tore my body apart and threw them into the depths of the Great Tree…"
—Rhazoth
In the silent void, there was no trace of life…
Only death, despair, and pain…
These indescribable negative energies filled the entire void, and within it, only a figure sat on a throne.
The figure on the throne gently raised a finger and lightly tapped the void before him.
Instantly, ripples appeared in the void, and the figure slowly opened his eyes, staring intently at the ripples before him.
Beyond the ripples appeared a familiar face… It was Taga!
At that moment, a rift tore open in the void, and a skeleton emerged from it.
"My lord… The whereabouts of the Chosen One have been ascertained… What should we do next?"
The skeleton slowly knelt down, his tone filled with loyalty yet tinged with helplessness.
"Mirror... your next task is to find my torso while preventing the Chosen Ones from obtaining that crucial 'Artifact'."
The voice belonged to Rhazoth, who was facing away from Mirror, yet could clearly see all of Mirror's movements.
"My lord... I wish to ask... if the Chosen Ones obtain the Artifact..."
Before Mirror could finish speaking, a sharp ray grazed his cheek and entered the void.
The ray even cracked the void itself.
Mirror gently touched his cheek where the ray had grazed, a trickle of blood flowing into his palm.
"Is this all... do I need to teach you?" "
Rhazoth's tone was both questioning and unquestionable, as if he thought the other's words were nonsense.
"Yes, my lord... I will do everything in my power..."
Mirror bowed his head in agreement, then stood up and turned to leave the void.
At this moment, Mirror was thinking:
"For Tina... I'm sorry, Taga... I will... utterly kill you all... For Tina... I will do anything..."
Mirror murmured to himself, his brows furrowing tightly.
After Mirror left... a more familiar figure tore through the void, one foot lightly stepping into it.
"Long time no see~ my great Lord Rhazoth~"
A voice, both cold and polite, entered Rhazoth's ears.
"Just say what you have to say... Can't you let me have some peace and quiet?" "
Rhazoth uttered these words coldly, then gently turned his only remaining eyeball.
"Oh~ you know I'm here because I have something to say~"
Distortion spoke, leaning lightly against the throne, the lizard on his shoulder slowly flicking its tongue.
"So...did you see something again...?"
Rhazoth coldly rose from the throne. Although he knew what Distortion was about to say, he still politely stared at him.
"Of course~ this is something only you and I know. This is about your follower...Mirror, he's still too soft-hearted."
Distortion smiled, but his fists were bulging with veins, and the tentacles in his eye sockets were twisted and deformed.
"Of course...this is his fate, it was bound to happen, but on the bright side, he helped us stop the Chosen One's advance, which can make our plan even more perfect." Rhazoth's pupils narrowed slightly. He completely disregarded Mirror's attitude, as if he had known Mirror's fate all along.
"But his soft-heartedness disgusts me, so... I will intervene when necessary... Please grant me permission."
Distortion smiled broadly, but his request to Rhazoth wasn't a request; it carried a hint of advance notice, indicating that he would do it even if Rhazoth refused.
"I don't care if you intervene; I only care about the outcome. If it succeeds, I don't care who dies." "
"Rhazoth spoke coldly, his face expressionless, his tone devoid of emotion, only exuding the oppressive aura of an ancient being.
"Then I thank you for your great support~"
Distortion replied with a smile, then turned and gently tore through the void, stepping into the void space.
Mirror was completely unaware of all this; he was simply focused on completing his mission.
Meanwhile, on Taga's side...
Taga, Tina, and Syl arrived at the portal and stepped inside together.
The moment they stepped into the portal, they... He was transported to an unknown spatial dimension.
Time seemed to stand still, and the fragmented things around him were also frozen in this spatial dimension.
And the images reflected in these fragments were various kinds of Taga.
Taga looked at his surroundings, no longer able to sense the flow of time. He could only see the fragments swirling around him, yet he was frozen in place by the time standstill.
"These are all me..."
Taga froze, suddenly realizing he wasn't the only Taga; there were many Taga similar to him.
"Taga? Don't just stand there!"
Tina patted Taga's shoulder, noticing he was standing there, seemingly lost in thought.
"Ah? Sorry, I was a little distracted... I just saw a lot of fragments here."
Taga scratched his head, also confused as to why he had froze over these fragments of Taga.
"Alright, our priority now is to figure out how to get out of here." "
Tina placed her hand on Taga's shoulder, then began to wonder how to leave this dimension.
"Actually... that gentleman just told me something."
Syl floated slowly to their side and spoke between them.
"What did the gentleman just tell you?"
Taga looked at Syl with a puzzled expression, his tone tinged with disbelief.
"It sounded like a spell, and he told me it would take us to the right place."
Syl lowered his head in thought, squinting as he tried to recall the spell the black-robed man had told him.
"A spell? Do you remember it now?"
Tina asked, looking at Syl with trusting eyes.
"I think I remember it, but I'm afraid the spell will take us somewhere we shouldn't be."
Syl said with a slightly cute expression, but his tone was still serious.
"It's okay, trying something new isn't a bad thing." "
"Tina smiled and said, trusting Syl completely; she believed Syl could do it.
"Then I'll try..."
After speaking, Syl slowly stepped forward, raising his hands and beginning to mutter to himself.
He spoke in a language Taga and Tina couldn't understand, but they watched him silently.
At that moment, accompanying Syl's muttering, the entire dimension suddenly began to tremble. Taga and Tina quickly stood beside Syl to protect him.
Instantly, they saw a crack slowly appearing before them.
This crack was filled with immense energy, and the scene on the other side was obscured by this energy.
"A crack has opened...should we go in?"
Taga turned to look at Syl and Tina, seeking their opinion.
"I said, trying isn't a bad thing~"
Tina said with a smile.
"Then...let's go!!!" "
Taga's resolute voice resonated throughout the entire dimension. He grabbed Syl and Tina's hands and leaped in.
They traversed the rifts.
They watched the energy fluctuations within the rifts, rushing straight forward.
They were about to begin their multiverse journey.
Above all of this...
A female figure stood in the empty void, watching the screen before her.
Like a spectator watching a TV drama, watching the characters unfold their stories.
"This story is quite long... and quite interesting~ I hope my avatar can complete its mission~"
At this moment, her appearance changed from female to an elderly woman with white hair.
"Taga~ Your destiny is still long. Don't let setbacks shatter your strength. This is only part of the story."
At this moment, he transformed from an old man into an unknown energy entity.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is only part of the story. Want to see more?" "Then look forward to it, and let this author write more stories for you to read!"
After saying that, he disappeared....
