Annan's heart stirred when he heard this.
He suddenly thought of the Charioteer.
It seemed that the Charioteer was escorting Sisyphus when he suddenly died on the way to the Realm of Light.
If that "en route" refers to the [Gate of The Worm and Cicada]...
"—So this is how The Worm killed the Charioteer."
In an instant, Annan understood everything.
With this, it all makes sense—
The Worm, after gaining the wisdom of "Dark Annan," realized what it could truly achieve.
Indeed, The Worm transcended the timeline, using the causative force driven by a long history from the future to the past to kill the Charioteer.
But it wasn't the newborn Worm relying on the connection of the "placenta" to attack the past from the moment of its birth. Because the Worm of that period neither had that wisdom nor that power.
Moreover, the Charioteer wouldn't have been affected by The Worm originally.
