Chapter 491 The Desire to Deconstruct

It's pretty much as Milo expected.

After destroying the abyss world before him, he can leave the abyss without any trouble.

To be precise, we just need to wipe out all life in this abyss world.

This time, Itakua did not intervene, or rather, the original Itakua no longer exists.

...

The church, the high bridge, and the entire city of Nanwei were horizontally cut apart. The bell towers, high-rises, and the upper parts of the city walls were severed and floated into the sky. Countless materialized terrifying substances surged in the surrounding air. Large swaths of black, viscous matter flowed from the hearts of the people in the destroyed city, coalesced in the sky, and surged toward Milo. Finally, it entered his body through his seven orifices and every pore, becoming a part of him.

The visual effect was as if a tiny human figure was "swallowing" a city.

The traces of the blizzard had been erased by these elements of destruction. The aura of death, surrounded by countless dark substances, hovered above the city. Rubble, broken walls, debris, and everything else were suspended in the air, frozen in place.

...

It seems that Wendigo has indeed completely forgotten what he did.

At this moment, it hid at the junction of land and sea. Beyond the sea behind it was a chaotic floating void, and it could not get any closer. However, the commotion that Milo had created on land made it feel an unprecedented and extreme pressure. The feeling was a mixture of fear and terror, and even its soul was trembling...

Perhaps this is some kind of inviolable law in the abyss world.

The last one to play the role of the destroyer was the Wendigo, which used the power of the sun and stars to evaporate a world and personally crushed the world's servants, causing considerable shock to Milo who witnessed the scene.

Now, the roles of both sides are being called upon.

Wendigo was the one who was so terrified by the horrific scene before him that he couldn't breathe...

In the image reflected in its purplish-red pupils, against a backdrop of deathly light and endless dark matter, the only living being was Milo.

He did not show any mania or ferocity in this massacre, but rather seemed to be conducting a rational scientific expedition or exploration, and with a very rigorous and serious attitude.

……

As the city and the earth's crust crumbled, a green death light appeared in the air, flowing like water and darting back and forth among the ruins. This should be something that only appears in the abyss, like chaotic matter.

Milo didn't know what those death rays represented, but when the afterglow of death flashed across his skin, he could clearly feel a terrible pain as if his skin was being torn apart alive. Moreover, the light could not be blocked by any substance, forcing Milo to retreat a certain distance.

He stood on the collapsed land, gazing at the distant world that was gradually returning to its original chaotic state after the collapse.

……

"The advantage is that the fear generated by life forms that evolve from chaos is real."

Milo looked at the pulsating black substance in his palm; this was the fear that flowed from the depths of the hearts of all the people in the city when the apocalypse had just arrived.

Although their very existence is illusory, their emotions are real, which is something Milo hasn't yet figured out.

This is probably the only benefit that Milo has discovered about the Abyss so far.
The source of the inexhaustible power of fear.

Since fully mastering the Nash Chronicles, Milo's control over fear has become unparalleled. This seems to stem from his personal understanding of this power, which not everyone who has read the Chronicles can control.

Ultimately, chronicles record the apocalypse of one of countless vanished eras, yet not everyone can fully comprehend the profound fear felt at the moment an era falls. But…

Why does the abyss repeat this evolution?

Milo observed the chaotic matter that was repeatedly diffusing and condensing like a natural phenomenon. He couldn't find any pattern in it. The existence of this matter was beyond Milo's previous understanding. It didn't belong to the worlds he had appeared in before, whether it was the original Earth or the current world of consciousness. Perhaps such matter existed in the dream world, but Milo had just not yet come into contact with it.

Or perhaps, these chaotic substances, resembling both thick smoke and flowing water, are not physically real at all, but merely blank spaces that make up an imagined world, like blank areas in a painting, representing these empty spaces.

……

Suddenly, Milo had a very dangerous idea, or rather, a feeling.

He felt that in the instant this imagined world collapsed, the abyss revealed certain previously hidden attributes, and these attributes possessed a very "fascinating" quality...

The gist of it is that Milo suddenly became interested in the Abyss.

He felt a strong urge to deconstruct the Abyss, and the knowledge that had been provided and stored in Milo's mind by various ancient and evil tomes now stirred like thirsty wild dogs, eager to devour the sweet scent emanating from the Abyss...

Milo felt an itch on his head, as if the knowledge had come to life and was about to pry open his skull and crawl out.

While feeling a tingling sensation on my scalp, I also felt a sense of enjoyment; both my thoughts and senses were filled with contradictions at that moment.

"Is this also a way for the abyss to bewitch independent souls?"

Milo frowned.

The Abyss once created a world for Milo that was connected to reality yet completely different from it, trying to persuade him to forget everything in the conscious world and completely sink into it.

And when all of this was disrupted, it began to "lure" the knowledge systems in Milo's mind.

It's as if it always has a way to plunge a soul into confusion, and once it falls into this confusion, terrible consequences will follow.

……

Milo clearly remembered the fragments he saw deep within Itakua's soul, the inability to even utter a cry for death—the consequence of being ravaged and devoured by the abyss.

He quickly realized that he had to control any desire that could lead him to the abyss, even if it was just a fleeting thought.

...

Theoretically, after destroying this imagined world, he should have found a way out of the abyss.

Visually, it seems that the green death rays carved out a narrow passage in the endless chaos. This passage was originally the location of the imagined world, and as the world collapsed, the passage was naturally opened up.

Milo snapped his fingers toward Wendigo behind him.

The latter used both hands and feet, scrambling and crawling towards Milo, and grabbed the corner of his trench coat tightly.

In the end, the "father and son" successfully crossed the exit passage.
