Chapter 199: Multiple Thoughts
The words that flashed through his mind were those he saw on Prometheus's website. That mankind must prevent the end. That they must gather their strength to stop it. A chill crept down the back of his neck. If what Lee Sa-young said was true, wasn't that a signal that the end was already coming?
"Then... you don't even know when it will arrive...?"
"I don't. No one will know. But..."
His violet eyes gazed into the dark void.
"Our worlds are merging more and more... So it will probably come faster than what I experienced."
"..."
"The world that should have vanished is staying behind and merging. As your world takes on the form of the destroyed one... more people will start to recall memories of the past. That's how fear etched into the soul works."
And as that happens, the end will come quicker. Cha Eui-jae swallowed. His throat felt swollen, as if it was difficult to pass. Lee Sa-young lightly tapped his temple with his black fingers.
"It would be wise to prepare well. Though preparing itself will be difficult..."
It was a dilemma. To prevent the end, they needed to combine their strength. But the more they did so, the faster the end would accelerate. Cha Eui-jae sighed. It was overwhelming. A problem that couldn't be easily solved. But even if it was daunting, it had to be done. Hadn't he already sworn to see it through?
Lee Sa-young, who had been looking down at Sa-young nestled in Cha Eui-jae's arms, tilted his head slightly.
"That's right. Once you get out of here... how about looking for Yoon Ga-eul?"
