Chapter 1735: 472 Matthew’s Decision!_2
Isabelle’s statement was devoid of any emotion, resembling indifferent, heartless machinery.
Matthew felt somewhat suffocated upon hearing it.
“If all this holds true…”
“Can we not do something to prevent this reflection?”
He couldn’t help but ask.
Isabelle said indifferently,
“Before you, there were others who observed this phenomenon and thought of possible solutions.”
“There are mainly two paths—”
First, prevent the destruction of Aindor in the Original World;
Second, prevent the descent of the reflection.
As a higher-dimensional being, Ann’s descent was to change the outcome of the Mirror World.
She altered a mass of reflections with her own power…”
Upon hearing this, Matthew blurted out:
“Ascension of the Heavenly Palace?”
Isabelle nodded:
“Before the catastrophe in the Original World, the gods were still the lords of the world of Aindor, their very beings amassed too many chaos elements, eventually becoming the root cause of the world’s turmoil.”
“Ann believed the gods were the key to the catastrophe, thus she exiled and imprisoned them, hoping to save the Mirror World.”
“To some extent, she succeeded.”
“The disaster was delayed by at least a hundred years, but delay is ultimately not change, and even a powerful Calamity Mage could not continuously alter the Original World’s reflection on the Mirror World.”
“Eventually, as you see, our world still returned to its ‘destined’ destruction… ”
“Indeed, the power to change the reflection also exists in the magic system of Aindor, like the ‘Great Prophecy Spell’ you just used, which is a powerful force capable of altering reflections.”
“Unfortunately, this change and Ann’s efforts are of the same nature; they can only alter the fate of some individuals, not the cataclysmic end…”
Matthew remained silent for a while:
“Is this what you learned from the Calamity Mage in the vanished historical world?”
Isabelle replied:
“Part of it is. I indeed had a brief interaction with a projection left by Ann when I was fighting for that divine artefact of Calamity Grade.”
“She admitted her failure.”
“For me, that was actually quite a blow.”
A faint sorrow flashed in her eyes:
“In my long life, she was the most powerful being I have encountered.”
“To want to achieve what even she could not, even just the thought of action, brings about an immense sense of frustration…”
Matthew deeply agreed.
It was also the first time he sensed this emotion in Isabelle.
It felt like a mission even a Heavenly Mage couldn’t complete was handed to Matthew to accomplish; just the thought of it would surely cause a headache, right?
“So, on the level of altering reflections, no one has done better than Ann.”
Isabelle continued:
“If we want a breakthrough, we can only try the first path.”
“That is, to change the disaster in the Original World.”
“So…”
“I will be leaving soon.”
Matthew understood.
Isabelle had successfully retrieved that divine artefact of Calamity Grade in the vanished historical world—the very ticket she mentioned for entering the Original World.
This process had caused a distortion in time.
This distortion was more pronounced in Isabelle—
Matthew had only seen her projection previously in the Starry Sky Cabin, so he couldn’t feel anything then.
But now, standing in front of Isabelle,
Matthew could clearly sense.
That this young girl seemed to have already left…
Wait?!
“You have actually already…”
His words were directly interrupted by Isabelle:
“Hold your tongue!”
“That is not to be spoken of; you just need to understand.”
Matthew took a deep breath.
He realized the seriousness—
Isabelle was not about to leave.
She had likely already left!
“What about the others?”
Matthew asked:
“Have they also left?”
Isabelle shook her head:
“Only I, and God of Luck, are about to leave.”
“The others will continue to stay in this universe, trying other paths for salvation.”
Matthew suddenly asked:
“But even if you go to the Original World, not to mention if the catastrophe has already occurred, to put it harshly— if you couldn’t change the calamity in the Mirror World, can you really change the calamity in the Original World?”
“Moreover,”
“How do you know, the supposed Original World, isn’t just another Mirror World projected by yet another Original World?”
He recalled the murmurings of the Calamity Mage heard during his Ascension—
“Even the so-called Transcendents
are merely moving from one mirror to the next.
Yet, the mirrors will always break…”
If Isabelle’s claims about the Original World and the Mirror World are valid,
then her mentioned Original World
might just be another mirror world projected by a different world!
Matthew intently watched Isabelle.
Her gaze was quite serene, appearing to have already considered this issue:
“According to that line of thought, it leads into an endless loop of skepticism.”
“The situation you describe might indeed be possible, but idle speculation is meaningless; I must personally go and see what the reality is.”
“Moreover, for this world, my presence poses more dangers than benefits.”
“The Chaos Mystery Lock has already become part of my body; my very existence is essentially the largest vortex of chaos.”
“After I leave, this world might stabilize a bit more.”
As she spoke,
a self-mocking smile flashed across her face.
Matthew felt somewhat desolate.
“Do you know how the Goddess of Magic, Ye Li, fell?”
Isabelle said calmly.
