Chapter 249 Outer God
"What do you mean?"

Milo instinctively tried to pull his hand back.

But suddenly, the corner of the starry sky he had glimpsed in Glaqi's illusionary world reappeared in his mind.

That vague, vast, and terrifying war that was impossible to look at directly.

Countless stars shattered, and the entire universe was filled with cracks.

Those dazzling lights that stung Milo's eyes, and those terrifying shadows hidden behind the stars.

Even a brief moment of rewind caused Milo a splitting headache.

……

"vomit!!"

The moment the Scarlet Witch released Milo's hand, he vomited violently.

Even though there wasn't much left in his stomach, he was still vomiting large amounts of acidic fluid.

The Scarlet Witch gazed calmly at Milo and murmured:

“You are still too weak. Your spiritual vision is not enough to support you in facing those ancient scenes. Even if you see them, you probably won’t be able to understand them.”

"So what does this have to do with the opportunity?" Milo looked up and asked.

Before he could finish speaking, he bent down again and vomited with a loud "whoosh".

“In that terrible war, countless Great Old Ones fell, and many more terrible Outer Gods were banished and imprisoned. Perhaps I shouldn’t tell you this, but since fate has allowed you to glimpse these things, it is enough to prove that this is your opportunity.”

The Scarlet Witch's mystical talk:
"are you ready?"

"Prepare what?" Milo instinctively assumed a defensive stance.

“I just helped you recall the scenes you had glimpsed. Now I’m going to show you something.” The Scarlet Witch grabbed Milo’s hand again.

She was incredibly fast; even Milo, who possessed superhuman strength, couldn't dodge her.

The witch's hideous hand gripped Milo's forearm, her broken nails almost digging into his flesh.

At that very moment, a look of confusion returned to Milo's face, and his eyes became vacant.

In the realm of consciousness, he saw a bizarre, distorted figure.

The figure was very tall, with many winding tentacles waving around. Its main body resembled a giant succulent plant, on which bloomed a huge flower-shaped tissue with petals and stamens. The overall appearance was filthy and complex.

At the very top, however, stood a dazzling white figure, radiating a holy white light, spotless, which seemed out of place with the other grotesque structures on its body.

……

Just as Milo was trying to see the shadow clearly.

A severe headache and nausea brought him back to reality.

He knelt down in the corner of the street and continued to vomit violently.

"What the hell is this?"

He pulled his arm back.

There were already five bloody fingernail marks on his forearm.

Milo felt his heart pounding wildly.

That terrifying sense of crisis swept over my entire body.

What terrified him most was that the sense of crisis did not come from the Scarlet Witch or other threats around him, but from the eerie shadow in the illusory scene.

The reason for the hostility was simply that the Apostle Milo saw through the other party's pure intention!

"What exactly is that?"

Milo was shaken. That thing wasn't even here; it was just a fragment of memory presented by the Scarlet Witch.

But this was indeed the most terrifying threat Milo had ever felt since he gained the power of crisis. A fear originating from the depths of his soul burst forth from his heart, and even his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

……

“Idhaila”.

The Scarlet Witch looked at Milo's disheveled appearance, seemingly without any surprise or astonishment.

She slowly withdrew her arm and calmly said:

"Remember this name. Her shadow was also present in the war you witnessed. She is a true god, far beyond the reach of those ancient beings, rulers, or despicable kin. Remember her appearance, remember her name."

"I want you to find her, to find her shadow in Geragi's memories. The memories you have accepted are not only those you see now. They are all settled in your mind, waiting for you to pick them up. It's just that you don't yet have the power to pick up these memories."

"The great Idhaila disappeared after the war, and her followers, her children, her... lovers are all searching for her."

"Whether it's being exiled or imprisoned, as long as you can provide clues about Idhaila, even if it's just a fleeting glimpse."

“I think there are many powerful beings who would be willing to lift the hound’s curse for you, and for them, it would be a piece of cake.”

……

While Milo was vomiting, the Scarlet Witch explained most of the so-called "opportunity".

Milo could barely understand what she meant.

After the nausea subsided, he stood up awkwardly, spitting out the stomach acid from his nose, and then solemnly asked:

"Is this a true ancient god?"

Milo had heard the term "Old Gods" countless times.

But it was only in that instant when his heart was pounding so hard he felt like it was going to burst that he realized the true extent of the Old Gods.

Compared to those I've encountered before, whether it's Ikham's broken heart or today's Geraqi, they are worlds apart.

……

"Outer Gods."

The Scarlet Witch corrected Milo's wording.

However, no further explanation was given.

Milo took a deep breath: "So you mean, if I can find clues about Idhra in those starry sky images, I can use those clues to exchange for a way to fight the Hounds, right? With whom? You just said her offspring? Her lover? Isn't a god's lover also a god? Who is it?"

However, in response to Milo's barrage of questions, the Scarlet Witch simply replied with a curt "Yes."
"Do you want to throw up again?"

“I don’t want to at all.” Milo covered his mouth.

“Then find a way to locate Idhra.” The Scarlet Witch looked calmly at Milo: “She was there when the war broke out. Now that you know her name and remember her appearance, I believe that as long as you can fully digest Glagi’s memories, it won’t be difficult to find her.”

"How many times will I have to throw up?"

Milo let out a wail.

Including the time he was just pulled out of the river today, he has vomited three times already.

"So you need to improve your spiritual vision as soon as possible," the Scarlet Witch advised.

"Easy for you to say. Where are you going to find evil tomes? Even if you want to plunder them, you need to find a Spirit Visionist first, and even if you do, you might not be able to beat them." Milo felt that his future was bleak.

"You've already faced off against an Old One once, and you're still worried that you can't beat some other Spirit Visors?"

The Scarlet Witch seemed somewhat disappointed by Milo's lack of understanding.
