Chapter 2074: Chapter 609: Prison and Prisoner
…
Captain.
The leader of the thirteen twilight creations.
A terrifying existence said to be capable of destroying the multiverse in legends.
He is imprisoned beneath the Bridge of All Life.
As early as the Age of Enlightenment, many seals were placed on him by the gods.
Compared to other twilight creations.
The Captain’s influence on Aindor seemed not as profound.
But there’s also a widely circulated theory—
The reason he hasn’t acted is that he is simply waiting quietly for the right moment to arrive.
Therefore, regardless of the era, the actual rulers or guardians of Aindor have visited beneath the Bridge of All Life.
The specific results of these visits are naturally unknown to outsiders.
But as the powerful ones of the world come and go.
The Bridge of All Life still stands.
The Captain also continues to silently watch over Aindor from the edge of the Gray Star Realm.
Even if the name merely flashes through one’s mind.
Matthew can’t help but feel a tinge of fear deep in his heart—
This fear doesn’t come from within himself.
Rather, it is an instinct imprinted in the bloodline of the human race.
This instinct helped humans avoid many top tier hunters during their weaker periods.
Even now, as humans have grown stronger.
Yet in the face of twilight creations, these absurd and terrifying beings, they still lack the thickness of time.
“Here it is, the Bridge of All Life…”
“One of the most terrifying forbidden places recorded in the Alliance’s internal data…”
“Isn’t the Captain sealed beneath the Bridge of All Life? How can he still climb up?”
For a moment.
Matthew’s mind was filled with wandering thoughts.
Of course.
What surprised him the most was still the image of the Captain.
A Qeyun Aling.
This small and adorable creature seemed to have no connection with the terrifying term twilight creations, or so Matthew thought.
Apparently sensing Matthew’s confusion.
The Captain smiled gently:
“This is, of course, not my true form.”
“My true form lies beneath the bridge.”
“You cannot gaze directly at my true form, even approaching slightly would permanently rob your sight, and more severely, your soul might instantly become a part of my body…”
“I don’t wish to see that happen, at least not now.”
Saying that.
He looked at Matthew meaningfully:
“I really like this species, Qeyun Aling.”
“In the past few millennia, only a few of the top strong individuals from certain clans have left marks beneath the Bridge of All Life, but most come and go in haste, only those few Qeyun Aling were genuinely curious about spacetime exploration.”
“These little fellows are quite likable, so I granted them certain protection, enabling them to always survive in danger and find brand new opportunities.”
“Of course, in return, these little ones are also willing to become my emissaries, going to places not convenient for me to convey a few trivial matters.”
Matthew silently grimaced.
The Captain’s level with Aindor’s language is still not that great…
“Trivial matters” could also be conveyed?
Or rather.
Is this just a euphemistic way of saying “orders”?
But what concerned him more was the information revealed in that statement by the Captain—
“Then that Bubu…”
He thought of the astronaut who accidentally entered his Starry Sky Cabin.
The Captain smiled faintly:
“He is not my emissary.”
“But I can indeed see his every move.”
“To be more straightforward, I’ve long noticed you, Matthew.”
“You are very special.”
“And you carry a key.”
A key?
Matthew had actually realized his own uniqueness a long time ago.
He had also encountered some who considered themselves above others.
But never someone as straightforward as the Captain.
“Could you say more?”
Matthew’s emotions were quite stable.
Until today.
He’s no longer the young lad who gets itchy from someone throwing a seemingly significant puzzle.
He looked directly at the Captain to see what he had to say.
But the Captain changed the topic:
“I am here to save Aindor.”
“The giant beasts’ surge will ignite the multiverse’s heat death, they will drain Aindor dry.”
“You should have heard about it, they treat the Aindor Universe as a breeding ground for the giant beasts, those people don’t care about the universe’s fate, let alone the insignificant beings within it.”
“Isabelle’s method is fundamentally unfeasible.”
“The setup of breeding grounds is like the most precise instrument, absolutely flawless, from the Original Universe to the Mirror Universe’s mappings are scripts written long ago, lowly subordinate creatures can’t alter the situation…”
Matthew asked:
“Even if she has become the only one?”
The Captain affirmed:
“Even if she is the only one.”
“But her origin is too humble, her branding is welded onto Aindor, she simply never has the chance to gain the authority to change it all!”
Authority?
Matthew silently noted the word in his heart.
He understands.
What the Captain mentions, whether true or false, must be extremely high in rarity.
These might be secrets that ordinary legendary spellcasters couldn’t discover even in a lifetime.
As Matthew showed a thoughtful expression.
The Captain asked again:
“In your eyes, what kind of place is Aindor?”
Matthew thought for a moment:
“Beautiful, interesting, vast…”
The Captain said indifferently:
“But in my eyes, this is merely a piece of rotten meat, decaying every moment of the day.”
Matthew wasn’t surprised.
He was mulling over the deeper meaning of the Captain’s sudden mention:
“Are you trying to point out that things seen from different perspectives can be radically different?”
The Captain chuckled and shook his head:
“That’s just the surface.
I just want to tell you that different perspectives viewing the same thing will yield different results.
