Chapter 490 Sinners of the Times

Can……

Even an Old One, even one of the Shadow Order, wouldn't have the power to destroy a world.

Even in the abyss, this is not true, so to some extent, Wendigo, also known as Itakua, should have been endowed with a more powerful destructive force while the abyss corrupted its soul.

...

Humans revered the ancients as gods, not because the ancients truly held a superior position over other life forms. Such a position is relative, and the origin of the title only illustrates how lowly ordinary humans were in the hierarchy of life.

However, the world of the abyss seems to be some kind of unstable, narrow world. It is somewhat similar to the birth form of a dream world, except that the dream world originates from the dreams of living beings in the real world, while the world of the abyss originates from the chaotic thinking, or rather, the imagination, of living beings in the real world.

Dreams can contain things beyond our comprehension, while the abyss is primarily a reorganization and transformation of things that exist in the real world.

Therefore, this so-called "abyss world" may not actually be the size of a world at present.

If you were to depict it on a map, it would probably just be—Nanwei City + Church + Nearby Suburbs + Eastern Coast + Railway + Galid.

Yes, it only contains everything that Milo is familiar with; as for the areas further away, it is nothingness and chaos.

Imagine, the last time Milo entered the Abyss, he certainly wouldn't have been able to enter the Unseen Lands, right? He only had a conversation with Tutiscrao in the Prayer Plaza, and then the apocalypse descended.

That's because at that time, Milo in the real world had not yet set foot in the depths of the church. He had no idea which path led to the Unseen Land, or even the existence of the Unseen Land and the Worship Pit.

This time, he was able to get in.

Everything is a reorganization of existing memories.

……

As for why we should destroy all of this?

In fact, Milo himself didn't know either.

But he received such a will, the end of which pointed directly to all traces of life here, as if someone was standing in his ear, repeatedly telling him that no matter how illusory the world of the abyss was, with countless possibilities superimposed, there was always a one in a billion chance that, perhaps because of a butterfly flapping its wings or a drop of water sliding off a branch, the illusion here would turn into reality.

And this idea grew stronger and stronger.

At first, it was just a sound that drifted into Milo's ears.

Later, it became an idea and a judgment that spontaneously arose in Milo's mind.

Although he himself knew that this judgment was unfounded, at least the information he had at the moment was very limited, he was neither capable nor qualified to draw this conclusion, he simply had this one thought—everything here must return to annihilation.

But the Abyss didn't give Milo much time.

The flaming sickle quickly began to swirl around the ruins of this Sumerian civilization.

……

Here's a question: How long would it take to destroy a world with a giant scythe?
The answer to this question is clearly an endless, unending journey.

But if the one wielding the scythe is a shadow, then the situation becomes a little "simpler".

...

At least in the unseen lands, the massacre did not take too long.

Except for a brief pause when the scythe blade approached familiar faces to Milo, it was mostly a matter of slicing through vegetables.

He had better ways to end these life forms that shouldn't exist in the first place, and all the rules here, but Milo wanted to figure out where that cryptic guidance came from.

So he chose the most primitive method.

……

Soon, only severed limbs remained on the altar in the unseen land, but there was no spray of blood, for these broken corpses had all been carbonized and would turn to dust at the slightest touch.

Wendigo, hiding in a corner, witnessed the entire massacre.

Although he covered his face with his ears, his large, purplish-red eyes still peeked through the gaps at the scene on the altar.

It saw that every time Milo swung his scythe, a wave of people engulfed in flames would surge up from the altar. Those believers who were swept up would fall to the ground and become carbonized skeletons, unable to even let out a scream.

It also saw the long-robed servant who had been standing behind the girl rush out, but his body was instantly smashed by Milo, and then he too turned into dust and scattered all over the ground. A terrifying creature resembling a centipede crawled out of his remains and pounced on Milo, but it was instantly engulfed by the flames.

It also saw Milo standing at the edge of the worship pit asking the old, frail woman something.

But the woman did not respond to him.

Finally, she too was consumed by flames.

...

Wendigo has probably forgotten how he played the role of executioner in the abyss, bringing apocalypse to world after world.

At this moment, watching Milo's indifferent back as he went on a killing spree, its purplish-red eyes couldn't help but tremble.

As an Old One, Wendigo could clearly sense how terrifying the person who had given him such a sense of warmth was to other beings. His extreme indifference and chilling destructive power made Wendigo feel that he was the true Grim Reaper.

……

Milo had assumed he had "cleaned up" all the familiar faces.

In his mind, he kept telling himself that these were all fake, not Rebecca, not Emma, ​​and certainly not Daisy.

He used the most thorough method to ensure that these faces retained no trace of their original appearance after death, probably so that out of sight, out of mind.

...

"Bang!!!"

With a loud bang.

The creature covered in human limbs was dragged out of the worship pit by Milo.

The sickle quickly cut it in two, leaving an inextinguishable flame on the cross-section.

...

Among the dense, human-like structures on its body, resembling down and tentacles, Milo found a broken wing of a Night Demon. But that was all; the rest had probably already been transported to the Prayer Square by the officials and used as firewood.

...

Milo's scythe never stopped wielding its blade in the abyss.

The same applies after leaving the unseen land.

He did not use any world-destroying magic or spells, nor did he attempt to summon any powerful deities. Yet, with just a scythe, he seemed to have stirred up and disrupted many of the world's underlying rules and order. Matter began to disintegrate and annihilate, light ceased to travel, and time gradually distorted until the calamity of destruction finally descended.

……

This seems to confirm the words of the late church pastor Daniel Defoe: "This man will become a sinner of his time."

Milo truly became that character.

However, it was in the abyss.
