Cogita left.
Before leaving, she gave Mew a meaningful look.
Dark Matter had begun spreading from the World Tree, which struck everyone as unexpected, yet somehow understandable.
However, the World Tree stood on an exceptionally high level, no lower than the world rules.
Since Dark Matter couldn't assimilate the world rules, how could it possibly assimilate the World Tree and spread from there?
The only possibility was that something had gone wrong with this loafer who lived in symbiosis with the World Tree, affecting the tree in turn.
Mew had figured that out, which was why Mew was panicking so badly.
Mew kept babbling in Chen Shi's ear about how much help Mew had given him and how he couldn't just stand by and let Mew die.
