Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 514 Telling a colossal lie
"?"

"You? What?"

Where to create chaos?

"In the dream world? At least we need to divert the temple's attention while Daisy is preparing to return. If she is being watched closely the whole time, she may not be able to return safely."

"Didn't she say we can't enter the Dream Realm?"

"I am just joking."

...

"How long are you two planning to talk? I can't hold out much longer." The Scarlet Witch lay on the ground, looking at Milo and Dirac with her remaining half of a dead fish eye.

"Go on, go on," Milo and Dirac finally shut up.

Milo didn't know how Dirasha had developed such a high degree of obedience to the Saintess, Daisy. He glanced discreetly at the golden tree totem on Dirasha's arm.

Interestingly, the totem that served as proof of his adherence to the Golden Law remains intact to this day. As a defector from the Golden Law, he still carries the complete tree totem, which is similar to the fact that the blessed power within him has not been reclaimed. Perhaps his loyalty to the Eye Saintess is driven by this blessed power.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and blessings are not given casually.

While possessing extraordinary abilities, he must also bear a certain mission, which he may not be aware of.

……

"The girl without eyes wasn't wrong."

The Scarlet Witch glanced at Dillah, then turned to Milo and said:
"He's alright. As for you, the moment the Shadow Sequence steps into the Dreamland, the eyes of the gods will be focused on you. You can't avoid it. It's a land that has been ruled by the gods for a long time. All the order and rules related to their interests have long been carefully woven, like a spider web. Even the slightest tremor can attract the attention of all the gods."

"Does that mean this plan won't work?" Dillash asked.

“No, usually when she talks like that, she’ll definitely follow it with a ‘but’,” Milo said with certainty.

“But entering the Dream Realm doesn’t necessarily require the real body to descend.” The Scarlet Witch said the “but” in a hoarse voice.

“I don’t have anything like a clone or incarnation.” Milo shook his head.

As the Scarlet Witch spoke, she vomited several mouthfuls of thick, black liquid onto the ground, which even contained some indescribable fragments of internal organs. But after vomiting, she was still able to continue speaking.

"You are in the conscious world and are unaware of the situation in the dream realm. Remember, all acts of god-slaying cannot be hidden from the laws of the dream realm. Perhaps in the conscious world you are just a lowly law enforcement officer hiding in Nanwei City, but the common people at the very bottom of the dream realm may have the opportunity to come across your name, especially those pitiful creatures who are deeply trapped in torment, hardship and adversity."

"Why?" Milo asked, puzzled.

"The recognition of deities among any group in any era requires means such as divine intervention or salvation, and the most common and conventional means of this is proselytizing." The Red Witch spoke haltingly, pointing to herself with her dry, broken fingernails: "In the future, the depth of faith accumulated will be an extremely important competitive element, and the same is true for you. Those people trapped in despair and suffering are your perfect targets for plunder. Otherwise, what do you think I'm doing in the dream world all day?"

"Went to preach?" Milo raised an eyebrow.

He is indeed a member of the Shadow Sequence, but this advanced Ancient life level is somewhat shrouded in mystery and can be described as somewhat eclectic. It wasn't purely based on the knowledge accumulated from forbidden texts, nor was it obtained through any sacrifice. Rather, it was achieved through a combination of complex elements and coincidences. Forbidden texts, Holy Communion, and other such things are indispensable, but the one thing he lacks is doctrine... To put it bluntly, someone who scoffs at religion and has never seriously read more than a few lines of proselytizing texts in his life is simply a pipe dream to expect him to popularize his own holy scriptures.

But the reality is often that even the ancient gods who are high above and the outer gods who are located in the distant stars have never personally compiled their own scriptures. Those so-called sacred classics that contain the way of salvation are actually fabricated and written by some special people among the believers. These people are called missionaries.

The general idea is that when a soul is going through an incredibly difficult and arduous time, when it has suffered all kinds of injustice and torment, and is at its most desperate and helpless, tell it, "Come into the embrace of my Lord. Here is a merciful Lord who can help you avoid those calamities and wash away your sins..."

"It just means you're fooling people," Milo shrugged.

"Do you know what those abelievers need most when they are mired in despair? A single thought is enough, even the most utterly absurd and laughable thought, that will allow them to maintain a sense of peace even in the face of death," the Scarlet Witch said without any emotional bias. "And those sinners burdened with hatred, and the barbarians abandoned and banished by the gods, do you know how devastating the news is for them that a new Old One has slain the incarnation of an Outer God for the sake of his dead believers?"

“That’s not the case. I don’t consider Grasso a believer…” Milo denied.

But the Scarlet Witch said, "The truth doesn't matter at all. The story is always told by the missionaries... They might even fabricate a more beautiful story, and someone will always believe it. Because those exiles wandering outside the city of Os-Nargai, the lowly slaves of the Cold Source, and the southern islanders forgotten by the gods have already suffered the heaviest injustices. Now, even if the devil stands before them, they will flock to his wings."

"Moreover, your act of killing gods is real, and it has happened more than once. Those pathetic creatures will desperately want to become your followers, no matter the cost."

The Scarlet Witch's words truly challenged Milo's level of contempt for religion, and also greatly shocked the clergyman Derasha who was standing nearby.

"So what does proselytizing mean? It's just telling a huge lie. How could I possibly pull them out of the mire?" Milo said with a forced smile.

"It doesn't matter. You can live an ordinary year or two in the conscious world, while the believers in the dream world have changed three or four times. Even their descendants will soon forget their deceased ancestors. What does all this have to do with you? As long as the pain and despair inflicted on them don't stop, the god in their hearts will never disappear." The Scarlet Witch's words were truly piercing.

Even Milo had to clap his hands in praise:
"Brilliant! Brilliant!"

Then the conversation changed:
"So, after all that, what does it have to do with me entering the Dream Realm?"

“Of course there’s a connection.” The Scarlet Witch raised her hideous half-face and asked Milo:
"Have you forgotten what cult followers love to do most?"

"Hmm..." Milo narrowed his eyes, reviewing all the heretical believers he had encountered during this period, and muttered:

"Could it be a summoning?"

Aside from those who use third-level sorcery for mundane human desires, the ultimate goal of most evil cults is simply to summon the god they serve into this world. As for what the god can do after being summoned, they probably don't even know themselves.

That is, the true purpose of the first and second level magic in those evil tomes.

……

"You mean, I should have my followers in the dream world summon me there?"

This is truly an unprecedented experience.

In the past, as a lower-ranking person living at the bottom of the order, summoning always meant trying to bring a higher-ranking person down to his realm. Now that the concept has been reversed, it makes Milo feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"I've become the one being summoned?"
