Without the support of Kyle's power, the Life Cage shattered. The shadows that escaped the seal all entered Kyle's eye sockets, and the soul fire that had been flickering was also extinguished at this moment.
Without the erosion of the dark matter, this space returned to its original appearance. A pale skeleton lay quietly on the ground covered with branches and vines.
"What is this place?"
This was a grayish-white space. The human-shaped shadow looked around and finally saw the calm light blue lake behind him.
A figure was floating on the lake. The figure's head was lowered, and his face could not be seen clearly.
The dark matter instantly understood that this figure was Kyle's soul. As long as it devoured him, everything would be over.
"Haha, I wonder if your soul is as hard as your bones."
The dark matter floated toward Kyle's soul. When it was close to the lake, it stopped.
There seemed to be some kind of terrifying power hidden under the calm lake. He could not help but look down at the lake water.
The surface of the water reflected the dark matter's face. He could not help but chuckle. "What am I afraid of?"
As he spoke, the dark matter scooped up the lake water with his hands. However, when he got closer to observe the lake water, he saw something that frightened him.
A handful of lake water seemed to be a world. The dark matter saw countless wailing lives, and the fear revealed by them even infected him.
"How is this possible?"
The dark matter quickly sprinkled the lake water on the ground. He was born in the World Tree and condensed all the negative emotions at the birth of this world. However, he was frightened by the fear derived from a handful of lake water.
After experiencing this, the dark matter did not dare to approach the soul with its head lowered. Just a handful of lake water had the fear of the World Tree. Then, such a large and seemingly endless lake …
"It must be an illusion."
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, the dark matter still did not believe that such a thing existed in the world.
Several tentacles suddenly burst out of the dark matter and extended toward Kyle's soul.
No matter whether this lake was so terrifying or not, it was not wrong to avoid it.
The tentacles extended infinitely. Just as they were about to touch Kyle's soul, the dark matter suddenly stopped.
"Did this guy move?"
The dark matter's attention had never left Kyle's soul. Just now, it noticed that the floating soul seemed to have moved.
At this moment, the soul that had been keeping its head down suddenly raised its head slowly. The dark matter seemed to have been choked by someone and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
Finally, the soul raised its head and looked at the dark matter. Its empty eyes were like a whirlpool. Because of this one glance, everything … was over.
"It's … not … possible …"
The body formed from dark matter crumbled inch by inch. First, it extended its tentacles, and then its body and head.
I am the darkness at the birth of the world, the amalgamation of all evil. As long as I descend into this world, the sky will be dark, the earth will crack, the sea will dry up, and the mountains will collapse. I … am the synonym for corrosion and desolation.
The dark matter was still fantasizing about the day it would devour the World Tree, fantasizing that the sky, earth, sea, and mountains would all be under its control.
But … this one glance …
This glance caused the dark matter to lose its yearning for everything. Even when its body collapsed, it still had no desire to live.
Everything was very calm. The dark matter disappeared in this calmness, but it revealed a sincere smile.
Because with this one glance, he saw an existence that was darker than darkness and more evil than evil.
…
Kyle woke up, but he did not know what had happened. The dark matter in the space had disappeared without a trace.
"It seems to have said that it wants to devour my soul?" Kyle scratched his head, expressing his puzzlement at the current situation.
However, the disappearance of the dark matter was a good thing. Kyle had thought that he would have to fight a tough battle.
Looking down, Kyle saw that the Heart of the Philosopher was still there. He let out a long sigh of relief. The reason why he had to keep the Heart of the Philosopher was because according to the method of the necromancer, he deduced that if he had the Heart of the Undead, his plan to repair his body would be even more perfect.
Kyle stretched his body and once again used Phantom to conceal his real body. This time, he deliberately used the power of life, so there was no longer the feeling of death.
"It's time to go back and pick the fruits."
During the first teleportation, Kyle had already mastered the teleportation circle set up by Sage Mori. With a casual drawing, he simulated an identical teleportation circle.
Kyle returned to the secret room again. Before he could stand still, he heard Ke Na's voice.
"Kyle!
You actually came out? "Ke Na looked at Kyle in disbelief.
Kyle raised his eyebrows and said, "I came out after the matter was done. What's there to be surprised about?
Where's Irene? "
Ke Na was still in disbelief. After rubbing her eyes and confirming it again, she finally reacted. "Oh no, does that mean the dark matter has been destroyed?"
"Of course."
"But Sage Mori's consciousness clearly said that it failed."
Ke Na scratched her messy hair. "So Irene is going to sacrifice the World Tree to seal him."
Kyle scratched his head and said, "Tell Irene that there's no need. If I sacrifice the World Tree, where am I going to find the Fruit of Resuscitation?"
"You're still thinking about the Fruit of Resuscitation at a time like this!"
Ke Na snapped. "Hurry up and come with me. I have to tell Irene the good news that the dark matter has been completely destroyed."
Ke Na grabbed Kyle's hand. The strange touch made Ke Na exclaim, "It's so hard."
"Hmm?
There's something wrong with you. "
"I'm talking about your hand!"
…
"Guardians, I have to announce some sad news."
Irene looked at the Guardians and said, "For hundreds of years, our world's bloodline has been hiding it from our people because we were afraid of causing panic."
"Is it about Sage Mori or the World Tree?" Joaquín Silvermoon, who was leaning on his cane, asked.
Irene sighed. Joaquín was the oldest of the Forest Fairies still alive. She knew that there was no secret that could be hidden from him. It was just that he had not exposed it for so many years.
"It seems that the Silvermoon Guardian should know."
Irene said calmly, "Sage Mori fell while fighting against the World Tree's dark matter."
Joaquín was stunned for a moment, then sighed deeply and fell into silence. The other Guardians looked at each other.
Irene explained the matter of the dark matter to all the Guardians, and after hearing it, they fell silent.
"Are these Sage Mori's last words?" Green Leaf Guardian Sala asked.
"Yes."
Irene said, "Sage Mori asked us to sacrifice the World Tree to seal the dark matter. This time, I called all the Guardians here to discuss this matter."
"What about the Broken Branch Guardian?" Amber Guardian Jenny suddenly asked.
Irene looked back at the throne. At the same time, the temperature in the World Hall suddenly rose.
Fireball!
Under the gaze of all the Guardians, the World Throne was pierced by a fireball …
