Chapter 503 Erosion
The current situation looks very much like that, a secret meeting of an underground evil cult, because many people present are wearing long cloaks that are almost dragged to the ground, under the hoods Only the lower half of the face was exposed, and everyone chanted prayers in a low voice.
The dazzling light and holy light of the golden tree disappeared from the Great Cathedral.
There is a profound atmosphere of silence in the air.
Milo only set foot in this deep area of the church not long ago, so he is not sure whether it has always looked like this since it was built...
…
At this moment, the "crack" on the ground under the shade of the golden tree is glowing with a strange dark light.
To be precise, it did not fall on the stone surface. If you look carefully, you can find that this crack is suspended in the air about ten centimeters above the ground. The whole crack is about half a hand wide and one meter long.
It looks a bit like the advice Milo saw in the abyss world.
But the difference is that the admonishment is a mark composed of several scarlet claw marks of different sizes. At this moment, there is only this one in the great church, and it is not scarlet, exuding There is some kind of dark light that is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
This is definitely not advice.
…
Milo stood at the front of the church, quietly staring at the crack in front of him.
For the contract scholars, priests and choir sisters in the cathedral, there is a high probability that they will not be able to see this crack. This can be seen from their postures facing the golden tree sculpture. You can see it.
Probably the only ones aware of the rift are Daisy and Dillashaw.
Perhaps some experienced elderly contract scholars can detect some clues, but their souls and will strength have always refused to receive visions of a level similar to cracks, because it may directly destroy everything in their minds...
...
It is worth mentioning that the Wendigo did not follow.
After noticing the bone-deep cold breath emanating from the crack, it quickly climbed up to the skylight by grabbing the stone pillars of the cathedral, not daring to get any closer.
Milo squatted down on the spot and carefully felt the strange aura emanating from the crack.
Combining the erratic but somewhat familiar feeling, the Wendigo's subconscious reaction as if he had seen a ghost, and the harsh screams coming from the crack from time to time, Milo was basically certain that the other side of the crack On one side is the abyss.
After realizing this, Milo's face began to look ugly.
The feeling is a bit similar to that of suddenly finding the key to solving a complicated puzzle, and all your ideas suddenly become clear. Specifically, the vague sense of familiarity revealed to Milo by the crack gradually turned into reality. He began to be able to see clearly the dark lights emanating from the interior, and he could even recognize who those harsh screams belonged to...
Because the people in the abyss world ruled by arthropods were buried by Milo himself.
Those screams were the screams they made the moment they were cut by the sickle.
…
“So isn’t that a purely imaginary world?”
Milo turned to look at Daisy.
At this moment he didn't know how to explain the phenomenon in front of him.
…
"That is a world more complicated than the dreamland. Even the gods are afraid of it. Chaos." Daisy slowly raised her head.
Although she lost her eyes, Milo could always feel her soft gaze, and he could also feel her emotions from her gaze.
Daisy is scared now.
Her fear at this moment was greater than most times in the past.
Even when the projection of the Temple Knights was preparing to "take her back", she never showed such an uneasy emotion. When she mentioned the word "chaos", her voice was trembling with tears.
Obviously, as a thinking eye, she definitely saw something.
That is a vision far more powerful than ordinary spiritual vision. Under certain circumstances, it can ignore the rules of distance, space, time and other rules to peek. Maybe behind the crack, she saw someone who was playing the role of destroying the world. She may even have seen the consequences of the abyss spreading to the real world...
"Brother... please don't step into the abyss easily again, you must not..."
>Daisy's voice was trembling, with a tone of pleading.
Milo moved his eyebrows, then stretched out his hand to hold Daisy's hand, and replied with a smile like coaxing a child: "If I don't go, I won't go, and I will never go again."
In fact, he was muttering in his heart. It's——but this time I seem to have been dragged in by Crow, right?
…
Daisy raised her other hand and pointed at the crack that was constantly emitting terrifying dark light:
“Chaos… it is peeking and learning from us. The world we live in... Every footprint left by a strange soul in the abyss will be remembered by Chaos, and they will trace the footprints back to the real world where that soul belongs..."
"It...it has noticed our presence...it...they are staring at me. I can feel their eyes swimming on my body but...but I can't see their appearance."
< br>Whoosh!
Daisy's words were interrupted by a series of crisp bones piercing the sound.
A choir nun standing not far behind her had a column of blood two fingers wide emerging from her eyebrows, and then she fell down without saying a word.
The pillar of blood came straight towards Daisy.
When it was still one meter away from Daisy, Dillashaw held it with one hand and stopped it.
It was the centipede-like arthropod creature that Milo had seen before.
…
Crack…
As a servant of God, Dillashaw was crushed by the insect with his backhand.
What is chilling is that such a change occurred at the scene, but the rest of the congregation surrounding the golden tree sculpture did not react at all. Whether it was the choir, contract scholars or deacons, everyone was stunned. He stared at the golden tree, murmuring in his mouth.
In Milo's view, this is no longer a rejection of things beyond cognition by subjective thinking, but that chaos has affected these weaker low-level souls through the gaps in the abyss.
The terrifying arthropods growing out of their minds are proof of that.
…
After Dillashaw crushed the arthropod creature, he nodded towards Milo, probably meaning don’t worry, I will definitely protect the Eye Saint.
To a certain extent, he is a stubborn person. After success helped him get through the stage of swinging back and forth between the Golden Rule and his true heart, his will is now unprecedentedly firm.
He had his own Golden Rule in his heart, so much so that when the heir of the real Golden Rule from the dreamland labeled him an apostate, he didn't take it seriously.
…
But Milo did not respond to Dillashaw’s gaze.
Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the guy in front of him without any trace.
In other words, at this moment, he was also wary of Dillashaw.
Because, if I remember correctly, Dillashaw was eventually eroded by insects in the abyss world...
