Chapter 684 The Dead
“Your plan worked. I must admit, it is the most daring plan I have ever seen.”
(Old Theon blowing smoke - to the front Blowing from above)
"In this way, the gods will be forced to come to the negotiating table."
It feels like they have been separated for a century, but there is still no trace of life when they meet again.
Theon did not hesitate to "appreciate" Milo at all: "You are the most daring of all the dead people I have ever seen."
Milo glanced at the water plants under the water of Lake Harry. Countless undead faces, swaying slowly, happily accepted this appreciation.
Then he stretched out two fingers and added: "Twice, I am the one who died twice."
…
"Indeed, in Ha Of all the undead collected by Lihu, you are the only one who has come and gone again," Old Xion sighed.
...
Yes, Milo died twice.
Of course, this does not include the time he left the earth. After all, he himself could not tell whether it was death that sent him to this fantasy world.
As for the two times he was referring to, one of them was the time when he was killed in the hands of the gods on the battlefield of Nanwei City.
As for the other time, it was more special, even a bit abstract.
But to be precise, the time when we understand the whole process is actually incomprehensible and illusory.
…
This is the ruins of Carcosa, and the souls of all the dead within the sight of the yellow clothes will return to Lake Harry.
This is one of the orders sealed in Hyades 5.
In fact, the name "undead" is not accurate. Many faces in the lake have degenerated into unconscious shadows.
"Wait for me for a while."
Old Theon stamped out the last few cigarette butts, pulled out a dip net from the debris piled by the lake, then waded into the shallow area of Lake Harry, One of the "things" lurking underwater was fished out.
The lifeless face did not put up any struggle at all. After being thrown ashore, it still lay flat, looking at the gray sky with empty eyes.
As Old Xion stirred the water in the lake, the second lifeless guy was soon thrown ashore.
Both of them look exactly like Milo.
To be precise, they are how Milo died.
…
“This is what you look like when you are broken into pieces by the gods. It’s pretty good to be able to piece together half of your face.”
“And this, That time for free."
Old Xion climbed back to the shore, grabbed two broken undead shadows and stuffed them into Milo's body.
In an instant, all the missing memory details and all the confusion were explained.
There was a moment of trance in Milo's always calm pupils, as turbid as the water of Lake Harry.
......
As a result, this blood moon catastrophe finally appeared in Milo's memory completely and in correct chronological order. In fact, it should be regarded as a return. After all, this book It's his personal experience.
…
First of all, we need to rewind the timeline crazily to...
Rewind to before leaving the abyss, yes, it was the time when we watched the other pair of ourselves in the abyss fighting each other through the balcony window.
In short, the Varrokan couple and siblings in the abyss finally performed the summoning ceremony of Daolos, which was interrupted unexpectedly. In the end, Daolos's body continued to expand, leading to the destruction of the world, ending the journey to the abyss.
In the real world, the blood moon had already arrived from the moment the two of them finished their journey into the abyss.
Yes, there is no such thing as the quiet moment before the storm, no chatting downstairs at the fire scene, no silver twilight banquet on the unknown island, and no stories about cats told by Marshall.
The violent wind and rain hit my face directly.
By the time Milo returned to Nanwei City from Pohnpei Peninsula, the blood moon had already hung in the sky, and under the blood moon, there were the crazy old days of melee.
To put it bluntly, Meigao did not "procrastinate". The Son of Death returned to the waking world at the same time as Milo Emma and the others.
Everything that happened in that battle was too unexpected for Milo. He barely managed to protect anyone or anything.
Milo rushed back to Nanwei City.
But by then the city had been destroyed.
The black knife assassins of the Golden Law Temple slaughtered the Star Clock Tower.
Yan also died in front of Milo, and the scene of the other faces disintegrating and disappearing together with the power of the night devil is still vivid in his mind.
Everything that can be lost and cannot be lost is basically gone.
…
It didn’t even require the gods to take action, but only slightly activated the power of the curse rooted in the Holy Communion order. Milo could easily die in the old melee.
This is the first death.
That's what old Xion said, the time he was given for free.
It was during that death that Milo forgot his real name. It was similar to the fact that only a part of himself died, in this part of Nanwei City.
What the gods need to do is just to level this broken world after the end of the old war. This is a job that can be done while sitting in a dreamland, and it is a job that is already familiar.
......
However, Milo's death was only part of the plan. Yes, it was all planned. Anyway, he can claim so now.
Probably at the moment when he was beaten to death by the old meat grinder.
Milo touched Azadi, or in other words, it was actually the tentacles of the sleeping Azati's soul that rested on Milo's "body" after unconscious swings.
No matter what the reason was, it didn't matter whether the blood moon disturbed Azadi's sleep or Milo attracted his attention. In short, the resonance was generated.
So the mysterious changes began.
…
The waking world that was supposed to come to an end has a second "possibility".
The power that Azadi possesses is the foundation of the initial world of evolution.
He is the original son of Azathoth, also known as the Star Core.
After reversing this fate, the core body that had caused destruction at the beginning of its birth resulted in today's waking world and the starry sky around it.
People say that the entire universe is just an illusory dream of Azathoth, but the truth is actually worse than that hypothesis...
...
"What should be in the waking world? Such an ending is not determined by the gods or fate. The time we return from the abyss is different, and the results we encounter will naturally be different. The way the gods solve the problem is to completely wipe out civilization. If this cannot be changed, Even if we win the old war, it will be of no avail.”
This is what Milo said to Milo when she rushed back to Nanwei City and dug Emma out from the ruins.
The most core part of the knowledge contained in the Noscia equation is about "Azadi".
Emma doesn’t know the true purpose of the shadow that handed the equation into her hands, but she has no choice:
“As long as she can make contact with Azadi, There is a chance to reverse all this.”
…
What they are fighting against is not the blood moon, nor the old days under the blood moon, but the gods.
Because what will finally come to an end is the reckoning of the gods. They will turn this world into the primitive wilderness just like they crushed the Sumerian civilization.
“We don’t even have the power to fight against the old days. We can’t rely on force to make the gods change their minds. We can only find stronger reliance...”
“Don’t forget, the gods Although they are unshakable to us, in the starry sky, they are just biological entities like us."
"I think they are also afraid of the destruction of the world and their own destruction. Exiled? ”
…
“What do you want to do?”
…
“I want to detonate Azadi.”
Emma is holding this sentence Finn's corpse said to Milo.
