Chapter 654 That Point

"That time we already lost..."

"Am I already dead by this point?"

Milo couldn't help but have this strange thought.

He had subconsciously accepted the existence of the Blood Moon War and its tragic end.

Daisy found the severed hand in the dark...

C's instructions regarding Dolom...

And then there's the part Milo has forgotten: his real name…

...

Milo remained convinced that he could win this time until the curse took effect.

Because Marty's nightmare scenes actually provided clues related to Mego, but there were simply too many mutation factors that were superimposed on each other.

Crimson, blood moon, and the curse of the gods.

In a moment of clarity, Milo suddenly thought, "Am I, a mere Great Old One, really worth so many people taking turns looking after me?"
……

He was unaware of Emma's situation, nor did he know the current state of the church.

The curse from the Temple of the Golden Law won't kill the Scarlet Witch either, but with the same effect, killing Milo is only a matter of time.

What's disgusting is that all of Milo's struggles were just an amusing performance in the eyes of the gods.

They used only one curse to turn the guide and the guided against each other.

...

The Scarlet Witch watched Milo from a short distance away, as did Vibul.

After much deliberation, Milos finally dragged his weary body off his trench coat and used it to wrap Yan's mud-like body, then casually stuffed the dying red fur ball into his pocket.

They dragged the two half-dead guys towards the edge of the battlefield.

...

He hadn't walked more than ten meters when he felt all his strength was gone, and he could only hold onto the crowbar and gasp for breath.

The Scarlet Witch floated leisurely in mid-air the whole time.

After Milo finished coughing, he turned around and said to her:
"Don't be so hasty. If it ends like this, it would be too easy for me, wouldn't it?"

After saying that, he continued to drag Yan Qianjin along.

Whether it was because the old fogies in the dream wanted to continue watching the show or for some other reason, the Scarlet Witch didn't intervene to stop Milo for the time being. Perhaps they really didn't care about the lives of Night Demon and Wendigo.

However, the ancient beings under the blood moon do not have the patience of the gods.

Especially Vibul, whose main body was dragged over from various dimensions by Milo.

...

Some lines, so delicate they were almost invisible to the naked eye, silently followed Milo.

They are also part of Vibul's body, followed by the enormous tentacles covered in crystalline substances...

Anyway, Milo suffered a lot.

...

Compared to the colossal, sky-obscuring behemoth behind it.

Milo's movements resembled those of a drained septuagenarian, trembling and unsteady, barely daring to take large steps.

After throwing Yan into a ditch that looked relatively safe, he took a few steps forward and suddenly remembered that he still had a fur ball in his pocket, so he took it out and kicked it into a ditch in the distance.

Although the movements were slow, they were all perfectly timed. The moment after kicking the fur ball away, he was sent flying.

Debris scattered all over the ground, eventually falling and getting stuck in the gaps between the ruins.

...

Next, just as Milo tried to stand up, he felt something as thin and sharp as a hair wrap around his neck, forcefully pulling him out of the gap in the rubble.

At this moment, Milo's condition can only be described as utterly devastated.

It's roughly like a glass jar stuffed full of chewed gum. That description might sound disgusting, but it's pretty much the truth. The outer shell of the glass jar is shattered, but most of the fragments are still stuck to the chewed gum inside, so they haven't fallen off.

After being caught and subjected to a barrage of criticism, Milo quickly gained a new understanding.

He was beginning to grasp even a tiny bit of the so-called true meaning of immortality.

But only a little.

Continuing with the previous analogy, what has kept him conscious until now is not the power of fear, but faith.

Essentially, the body should have been shattered long ago.

But it's the chewing gum inside that's keeping it alive...

...

Of course, this was just a partial understanding that appeared in his mind as he was on the verge of death. If his life were represented by a concrete curve, Milo would still be a downward-trending curve at this moment, and the moment the curve touched the horizontal axis would be the moment of his death.

...

The strands of hair that had been spreading down from Vibran wrapped around Milo's neck, suspending him in the air.

Confront the source of that hair, which is the half-human figure on the top of Viebuhr's giant tumor, devoid of any facial features.

Those hairs, countless times stronger than metal wires, grew from the head of this half-human, cutting into almost every crack in Milo's flesh and embedding themselves firmly into his bones.

However, even though he was being hung up in such a painful and pathetic manner in front of the tumorous half-man, Milo still couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark:
"How long has it been since you washed your hair? It's so oily."

...

Vieux was probably the most abstract in terms of appearance among all the old-timers present, as well as the most stylish and stubborn.

After binding Milo to its front, its next action was still to gracefully extend its hand and press its sharp, crystalline nails against Milo's chest.

Hundreds of meters in the air, against the backdrop of the blood moon, the sense of destiny and the magical atmosphere of this scene were no less than the scene when the Golden Tree retrieved Joan Byrne's body.

It's clear that Viebuhr is still struggling with the previous question—why he can't fully "think" of Milo in his mind.

Therefore, it is very necessary to dissect it to see the real thing.

Of course, it didn't know that even Milo himself couldn't explain everything right now.

……

Under normal circumstances, it would take some time for Milo's curve to touch the horizontal axis that represents death, but once a fingernail is poked in, things are hard to say; the curve might just turn into a vertical line.

In fact, Milo himself had always been aware of this.

He was keeping track of the time.

Perhaps the gods considered all of this futile; after all, why calculate the time until death when there's absolutely no hope? It's meaningless...

Does it have no meaning?
How could that be? Hehe.

...

"So this must be your weak point, right?"

Despite feeling the ever-deepening pain in his chest, Milo's eyes remained fixed on the person made up of fleshy tumors in front of him.

The other party did not respond to Milo, but continued to concentrate on using their fingernails to slowly cut open Milo's chest.

Until one instant, Viebuhr sensed a powerful surge of life force emanating from the dying creature before him!
It suddenly stopped its hand and raised its head.

Then, to her shock, she discovered that the figure her long hair had been entwined with was gone, and that her arm had disintegrated and disappeared at some point, leaving only a short half hanging from her shoulder…

Webull was quite certain that a few seconds earlier it had cut open Milo's chest cavity and seen the burning internal organs.

But now, everything has disappeared.

...

A long-forgotten sense of fear spread through Viebuhr's mind, like ink dripping into clear water, and there was no way to stop its spread.

It sensed an overwhelming hostility coming from behind it.

The next instant, Viebuhr was choked.

It struggled desperately and frantically.

But to no avail.

As Milo had said before, this is its most crucial point, and also its original form, the real Vibul that did not develop various bizarre limbs.

...

Viebuhr couldn't understand why the dying man still possessed such terrifying explosive power.

What puzzled it even more was that the hostility Milo was releasing was not actually directed at it.

Who is he targeting with his gaze?
Following the direction of Milo's hostile will, Vibul saw some tiny, weak humans rushing towards him from the direction of Nanwei City.

...

Then, Viebuhr saw a red-haired woman leading the way quickly through the ruins, land on flat ground, roll over, and lock her head in place with a gun.

To be precise, the red-haired woman was actually targeting Milo, and at that moment, the barrel of her gun was completely aligned with the trajectory of that hostile force.

It could hear some low murmurs coming from the back of Milo's throat, but they weren't being spoken to it anymore:
"Yes, yes, find that spot, make sure you find it..."

"Then shoot."

...

Hostility, gunmanship.

boom!
It's worth noting that Milo had touched that gun right at the start of the battle.

That was the power he had saved up before the curse took effect.
