"You are killing yourself"

"Let's start with your former question," Mathew's clone said as it finally moved away from the spot it originally appeared at.

It brought its hands together before locking them behind his back and going on a stroll around the time-frozen forest.

"This apocalypse is just a way in which my people are altering the incoming wave of mana," the voice explained. "You can think of it as a front of extremely powerful radiation, cauterizing all the life that is not accustomed to its presence."

Mathew's clone turned silent, most likely to give real Mathew some time to digest the news.

"If we did nothing, then once the wave of mana would strike your planet, all life would be lost in an instant," the clone announced after some time before stopping and turning its face to look at Mathew. "With no exception. All. Life. Gone. Be it humans, animals, plants, or even bacteria and viruses. Nothing could face mana this powerful if it isn't already accustomed to it."
