Chapter 593 Journey into the Abyss
Rebecca thought she had just had a very long and strange dream.
Because, from a certain point in time after leaving Nanwei City, she was no longer able to objectively distinguish between dreams and reality.
For a long time, she thought everything she experienced was real.
Is the real world really like this?
There will be people projected from higher-dimensional worlds, there are ancient beasts as huge as islands in the sea, and merchant ships from the Far East carry hostility of unknown origin.
The burning Iloa...
The churning Suleiman dust...
Then the ancient R'lyeh that finally landed after countless stars orbited...
The snail who tore his body apart, and the Star Familia all over the sky...
Conspiracies are piled up on top of each other, and in the end the truth can no longer be proven.
…
In this long dream, many people’s faces became blurred. Perhaps it was caused by the chaotic light and shadow, or perhaps there was a problem with Rebecca’s memory.
Rebecca remembered that this series of strange situations started from the moment Milo took the initiative to join the battle.
Because she could not hear many of the conversations between Milo and Crow clearly, and within just a few minutes, the chaotic situation began again.
She remembered that against the sky background of countless star dependents floating in the sky, Milo suddenly said something like this to her:
"How about I help you for a while."
< br>Then, an almost crazy melee began.
Some untouchable dark matter completely wrapped and entangled Rebecca, but it did not affect any of her movements at all, and even provided unprecedented enhancements.
What is enhanced is her senses, strength, and speed.
She can easily jump from the ground of R'lyeh city to the sky building without worrying about the scorching sunlight radiation.
For the first time, her world became so clear. She was able to receive so much information from the outside world that it was a bit noisy, but for some reason, she was able to see beyond the edge of Raleye city with her naked eyes. In the desert and sea of fire, Milo's figure began to be unclear.
In addition, all the weapons carried by Rebecca have been added with some terrifying power. Whether it is a revolver, a bow blade handle, or other strange weapons, it will give Rebecca felt like she was not holding the weapon, but that the weapon was controlling her hands.
For a long period of time that followed, she did not hold back any creature that rushed towards her. She greeted bullets, arrows, and sharp blades at the same time, regardless of whether the opponent was a Star Familiar or a snail.
The collapsed position of the building in the sky caused the terrifying sun to shine directly on the streets of Raleye. The huge rough stone slabs were melted. Along with the thick smoke, this terrible energy began to seep into the surroundings, causing Buildings nearby began to crumble and collapse.
And it is not only the terrible radiation from high altitude that enters Raleye, but the storm from the outside world also seems to have found the entrance to the broken city, and the wind carrying countless sharp and hot sand and stones rushes in from the breach, and the journey is new. storm.
In this storm of sand, miasma and fire, Rebecca, a person so weak that she could almost be ignored, seemed to have put on a terrifying mask given by the evil god, and became the party in charge of the killing power.
No creature in the storm could escape Rebecca's gaze. She saw the evil elements in the hybrid bloodline, smelled the forbidden knowledge deep in the raven's soul, and clearly noticed how The outline of the swollen girl that was always present behind Fang was even understood at one time by the deep sound coming from Dagon's huge abdomen.
Only Milo, she never found.
This became Rebecca's only "guilty" part in this fight.
The power from the shadow made her a terrifying executioner. The Star Familia and the Snails were unable to hide from her guns, and even Dagon seemed unwilling to confront her.
Perhaps she didn't notice that even the terrible storm from the outside world began to circle around her, as if every grain of sand surrendered around her, and at this moment they were all scrambling to become Parts of her bullets and blades.
No one knows what kind of order changes have taken place in the center of the raging storm. The power that does not belong to this era is growing in an extremely domineering and barbaric way.
Gradually, the red-haired woman who controlled this power in the storm began to forget. She no longer searched for someone like she did at the beginning.
To be precise, she could no longer remember the outline and features of that person. Maybe she might not be able to recognize the person right now when he was standing in front of him.
As time went by, the degree of forgetfulness intensified, and she even forgot that she was looking for someone.
It was as if she had spent such a long time in the center of the storm that she had forgotten some very important people and things.
In addition to this, another important factor is that most of her attention is occupied by the hostility coming from the deepest part of R'lyeh city.
Some silhouettes and faces that had only appeared in her terrifying fantasy in the past began to emerge one by one.
At this moment, she can easily cope with the siege of the Star Familia. Those scorching rays and tentacles cannot even penetrate the storm.
But I don't know since when, an extremely huge figure, much taller than Dagon and the monolith in the center of the city, occupied most of Rebecca's field of vision.
The hostility she felt came from this huge shadow.
The shadow carried jet-black wings on its back, and had octopus-like tentacles on its face...
From the few words she had heard from others before, Rebecca could probably guess Who is this.
But she could not say its name in the face of the oldest being, especially when she knew the correct pronunciation of its name.
As a result, the scene fell into an eerie quiet atmosphere for an instant.
The strange thing is that the killing has not stopped.
This is one of the reasons why Rebecca can't tell whether she is in a fantasy or reality.
As a certain person gradually faded away from her memory, the hybrids, Meng Kuiya, and He Fang, who came from the same world and era as her, were also surrounded and submerged by the Star Familia. Raven and Crow disappeared together at a special point in time.
At this point, there are not many people left within Rebecca's field of vision who are related to the clear memories of the past.
…
…
Under the gaze of the city’s master.
Rebecca cut off half of the tentacles of the last Star Familia that rushed towards her.
She could feel that certain substances that could destroy her soul were constantly rising from the bottom of her heart, but they were quickly pulled away by another force, thus not causing any substantial harm to her.
Then she became confused.
Until a certain moment, she raised her head and looked directly at the master of the city.
In the huge eyes overlooking the storm, Rebecca saw the truth that made her realize.
…
She saw her reflection.
But the outline of the shadow was not Rebecca.
But another person, a shadow shrouded in materialized fear.
Rebecca thought for a long time before she remembered that this was the guy she was looking for at the beginning.
It’s Milo.
In this way, it seems to make sense why Milo has never been found...
...
…
When Rebecca regained that part of her memory, her first reaction was to raise the muzzle of the gun and point it at the face with tentacles.
It was actually preparing for a gun rebellion.
Next, as long as she touches the so-called death node for a certain moment, she will pull the trigger without hesitation.
Unfortunately, only a few Star Families in the sky witnessed this scene. If there is a god who glimpses this scene at this moment, maybe the gods in the future will not...
…
However, Rebecca's sudden realization seemed to solve the problem. A special rules puzzle.
Even the huge shadow coming from the depths of Raleye instantly realized something.
Its outline began to collapse, and it hid again in a place that was beyond the reach of ordinary people's naked eyes.
He did not attack Rebecca, as if he was just passing by.
As for Rebecca herself, she simply could not understand what had happened before.
She raised her hand to touch her face, and what she touched was still the scar on her face that was not too hideous.
But for some reason, in the eyes of the target, his reflection became Milo.
…
Soon after, muffled sounds came from the city center of Raleye.
That's where the gray-white monolith is.
Rebecca realized something...
…
The storm has now swept through most of Raleye.
The fragile and soft bodies of the snail people could not resist the gravel carrying the terrifying hot energy, so they fled for their lives and rushed towards the depths of the city.
Countless chaotic and noisy sounds were raging on one side of the city.
However, at this moment, in a secret study in the deepest part of the city, there is a peaceful atmosphere. There is no bloody smell of killing, no wailing, and no howling wind. It is simply a quiet room. , comfortable study room.
…
"Bang."
Milo, who was sitting on the windowsill, closed the heavy book in his hand.
Then he took out the wine bottle and took a sip.
The cover of the book he casually threw beside the window sill had the ancient text "Luoyan City Textbook" on it.
And the moment it was put down, black fireworks quickly appeared on the book. The flames consumed the entire book in just a few breaths.
The breeze blew by, leaving not a single residue on the windowsill.
…
In another corner of the study, the young version of Raven, Tutis Crow, was leisurely pacing back and forth in front of the wall engraved with the map of R'lyeh. step.
He was quiet the whole time until Milo closed the textbook and burned it.
Claude didn't react at all to Milo's action of burning books, and seemed to think that this step was natural.
He seemed to hear some noise from far away, so he turned around and asked Milo:
"The girl remembered who you are again, much faster than I expected, this moment of tranquility It won’t last long.”
Claude’s tone was very relaxed, like a chat between friends.
However, Milo, who had just finished reading "Luoyan City Textbook", could not relax.
It is the prophecy about the end of the world and the secret hidden behind it.
…
It is impossible to verify the era in which the theory of the end of the world originated. It may be traced back to Crow who was in the same room with Milo at this time.
He himself is the creator of the Monsis school’s prophecies about the end of the world.
With the passage of time, this obscure secret was baseless at the beginning, then became apparent, and then a series of portentous phenomena surfaced one by one.
For example, the blood moon mentioned by He Fang and the enlightenment of the moon mentioned by Daisy...
There is also the ancient legend about R'lye - "Wait until the stars reach the right position; then, they will shine back to life"
......
Until now, Milo has Understand the connection between "the end of the world" and "the moon".
And the relationship between "Moon" and "Meigao", as well as the eye of thinking.
And how the "those three things" Daisy mentioned form a progressive causal relationship...
...
It can be confirmed that regarding Meigao, the God of Death, it is indeed an unfinished plan of the Sumeru civilization, or in other words, it is a dying struggle before they are about to be buried.
But it failed in the end.
In this era, the Monsis School continued to follow the path that the Sumerians failed to walk, but for some reasons, two Crows, or two Croans, appeared in this generation. Lao, so there are two opposing wills, not just to kill each other. The difference in the choice of the end of the world may be the core conflict between the two people.
……
"It's all about choices."
Claude seemed to understand what Milo was thinking.
He didn't care at all how many fantasy spells were recorded in the "Luoyan City Teaching Book", and he seemed to have already known the truth of the end of the world.
What made Milo even more certain of this was what Crowe said next -
"You may think that most of it is my conspiracy. You must admit that in that place There are indeed many past events in the city named Nanwei that were planned by me. But believe me, after today, everything in the future is determined. The key is this moment. This moment, after you read "Luoyan City Textbook", everything boils down to one point, like me As I said before, it’s all about choices.”
"Your choice."
…
Milo did not speak. He was thoughtful and looked at the person in front of him with calm eyes.
Claude's attitude is very intriguing.
Seeing that Milo didn't speak, he continued to talk:
"But when it comes to choices, generally speaking, people who are qualified to make choices have certain characteristics, such as being strong and intelligent. Of course, they also need a little bit of luck. The important thing is that only 'informed people' are qualified to make decisions. Choice, and now that you know everything about the end of the world, it’s time for you to make a decision. This is the best I can do under the premise of respect.”
…
Milopi smiled but shook his head slightly.
"Although it sounds nice, who knows."
He found a relatively comfortable and open place to lie down, turned around and gave Crowe a look.
The latter nodded and said very respectfully:
"Enjoy your journey into the abyss, Mr. Watcher."
