A NECROMANCER WHO JUST WANTS TO PLANT TREES

Chapter 1797: 494 Matthew's dad_2

"Sif's plan, I still don't know it, but going in alone is still too risky..."

Hearing this,

Butterfly couldn't help but admit,

"Your analysis makes sense."

"Perhaps this is also one of the important reasons why Lady Sif hoped we would stop you."

"She probably knows the journey is very dangerous, so she doesn't want you to be involved..."

Matthew blinked his eyes,

"I might not hinder her, but there's a high chance I could help her."

"So, do you still want to stop me now?"

Butterfly fell silent.

He was obviously troubled.

Seizing the moment, Matthew said,

"You should be very clear about my relationship with her."

"Although we have a bit of a rift now, it's clearly not a big deal."

"If we were to reconcile later on, your current actions would hardly be dignified—even if she instructed you to do so."

Butterfly sighed,

"But I signed a contract..."

Matthew said,

"Strictly speaking, you made a contract with a demon named Sif Suki, not with Sif herself, so you don't necessarily have to follow her orders."

"Besides, you've already tried your best to stop me, and failing because I'm better is a reasonable fact, isn't it?"

As he spoke,

Matthew raised his hand and threw a Malicious Transfiguration at the huge Mechanical Butterfly!

Pfft!

A grey light ball hit the metal surface, didn't create even a ripple, and was directly immune!

Matthew raised his eyebrows,

"Transform!"

Butterfly was silent for a few seconds, then, after a sigh, actually turned his head and transformed into a dumb-looking goat!

"You have to deal with her!"

"Or sort out Sif Suki!"

The goat said seriously,

"Otherwise, I'm done for!"

Matthew gently patted the goat's head and followed the direction it implied.

Along the way,

The Rock Bear was also tirelessly communicating with the will of the Broken Ring World,

frequently identifying or correcting Matthew's direction.

It was during this process

That Matthew realized the Rock Bear had gradually mastered a common language, barely reaching the point where it could communicate with humans.

Matthew asked him,

"Can you sense any difference between this dream and the normal natural dreamland?"

The Rock Bear answered,

"Many differences."

"Natural dreamlands are mostly a whole entity in most cases."

"But the Earth Core Dream is fragmented, which suggests that the star spirits' will has suffered tears— in other words, the natural wills on this planet are not unified; they are even proliferating, branching out into many kinds of thoughts."

"Over time, the natural wills would fight each other in the form of avatars or appointed messengers, and only the ultimate victor would become the new planetary will—the star spirit."

Upon hearing this, Matthew's mind stirred,

"Are you saying that, before this, the planetary will of Storluk had already fractured?"

"The female giant being eroded by the Purgatory Blood River, although a star spirit, is not the entirety of Storluk?"

The Rock Bear vaguely said,

"Something like that."

Matthew was puzzled,

"What do you mean by 'something like that'?"

The Rock Bear sighed,

"I'm just a child, not even a year old, and even though my talents have allowed me to inherit some things, making direct judgments is still a bit difficult for me."

After a few seconds of silence, Matthew suddenly asked,

"Then, what talents have you mastered now?"

The Rock Bear immediately got excited,

"I've recently awakened the talent for Divination!"

"I'm very suited for reading fortunes for people!"

Matthew said straight away,

"Then can you read mine?"

The Rock Bear immediately shook his head rapidly,

"Your fate is very complex, affected by many factors, and carelessly delving into it could easily backlash."

Matthew shrugged his shoulders,

"There's no one else here except me."

The Rock Bear pondered,

"Don't you have anyone else you want divined?"

"Someone close to you?"

"Uh, excluding strong individuals like Lady Sif or Old Devil Lord Morgan..."

"It's better if they're a bit weaker but still mysterious..."

Matthew suddenly said,

"Sif Suki?"

The Rock Bear had been eavesdropping on all of Matthew's conversations with Butterfly, of course, and thus had some impression of this name.

He pondered for a while,

"Then I'll try it."

Saying this,

He did some preliminary Divination Spell gestures quite ceremoniously, then hopped and jumped around on the grass, with both his large bear eyes gleaming with blue light.

After about a dozen seconds,

The Rock Bear suddenly convulsed as if electrified.

He started drooling from the corners of his mouth.

After a while,

The blue light in the Rock Bear's eyes faded away.

His tone became weak and excited,

"Matthew!"

"I found your dad!"

Matthew was startled:

"What?"

The Rock Bear said excitedly:

"Yes, yes, it's your dad!"

"Your father, you know?"

"I saw in the river of fate that you and him—"

"That is, Sif Suki, have a very strong overlap, which usually only occurs between direct relatives, most commonly between father and son!"

"Do you have a son?"

Matthew hesitated and shook his head.

The Rock Bear said with conviction:

"Then Sif Suki must be your dad!"

Matthew slapped him on the head:

"I am your dad!"

The Rock Bear covered his head, aggrieved.

Under Matthew's stern gaze,

he also became somewhat uncertain:

"Well, divination, after all, can have some inaccuracies."

"Maybe I saw it wrong."

"He could also be your grandfather..."

His voice was almost inaudible by the last sentence.

Matthew couldn't be bothered to argue with him about it any further.

He hadn't trusted the prophecy spells to begin with, and since learning about the relationship between the Original Universe and the Mirror Universe, he felt even less certain about them.

The power of reflection from the Original Universe was certainly strong at the macro level,

but it was riddled with flaws in the details.

Not to mention the multitude of errors that can arise when interpreting the power of reflection with prophecy spells.

Right then,

he made all haste to find the center of this segment of the Broken Ring.

The grassland World seemed vast,

but because the directions were easier to discern, exploration was quite efficient.

Before long,

they successfully arrived at a lake that looked like a sapphire.

On a small island at the center of the lake,

a giant Iron Tree grew surprisingly.

Strangely,

at the lake's edge, there was a light blue defence shield, apparently constructed of psionic power.

"The Iron Tree Heart here hasn't been taken yet?"

"But where is Sif?"

Matthew's expression relaxed.

But when he tried to use the Sword of Slaughter to pass through the psionic defence shield, the latter sucked both him and the Rock Bear in!

After entering,

Matthew saw a completely different scene—

He saw the azure water of the lake had dried up, turning into an endless Blood River.

The Iron Tree on the small island had also cracked open.

Black-purple flames burnt wildly around the Iron Tree.

The terrifying heat, the suffocating feeling that hit his face, and the abhorrent stench interwove into a symphony from purgatory in this space.

Several demons with goat horns slowly climbed out of the Blood River.

Their eyes were filled with hostility when they looked at Matthew.

"Too late again?"

The Rock Bear murmured to himself:

"It seems she has already taken the Iron Tree Heart and set a trap for us here."

"We need to break out of this trap quickly..."

Before he finished speaking,

the blue psionic defence shield began to close slowly, turning into a pitch-black iron cage.

Above the iron cage, a huge black curtain appeared.

The black curtain lowered slowly.

In an instant,

Matthew's vision darkened.

"The master ordered to trap you."

"But I have a different idea."

The strongest of the goat-headed demons coldly pulled a red Flame Longsword from a body on the ground, saying ominously:

"Killing you is the best choice for the Suki Kingdom."

"The future of the Suki Kingdom doesn't need a prince."

"A queen alone is sufficient..."

His presence while saying this was quite impressive.

Yet Matthew didn't even deign to look at him properly!

In fact,

the moment the black curtain shut,

Matthew had voluntarily closed his eyes:

"Not right."

"Very not right!"

The next moment,

something within his Insight was touched!

...

「Hint: You have detected that you have been marked with "Blasphemy - First Come First Serve"!

First Come First Serve: As the marked "Latecomer," no matter what you do, you will always be one step behind the "Firstcomer."

You sense the identity of the Firstcomer—

Sif Suki.」

...

Matthew suddenly opened his eyes.

Just as he wondered when such a secret Blasphemy had been cast upon him,

that goat-headed demon had already rushed towards Matthew with furious rage!
