Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 685 Tombstone Dream
That brief conversation was very similar to the scene of them discussing countermeasures late at night after being targeted by the Sherman family.

Experience has shown that you should never mess with a woman who has already accepted her fate of death, especially if she possesses a lot of "forbidden knowledge"...

How much of a commotion she ultimately makes depends on how much of a commotion she can make.

Emma's so-called plans always seem to exude a crazy, reckless, and vengeful spirit, without regard for the consequences.

The Earl of Sheldon, whose internal organs were blown up and scattered all over the street, is a prime example.

In this instance, the Noscia equation revealed all its secrets to Emma. Weren't the gods now just like Sheldon back then? And in her eyes, the star core Azadi was nothing more than a small glass bottle that could be used...

“So… if we can find a way to get the gods out of the dream world, if we can trap them in the waking world, we can wipe them all out…” Emma’s exact words.

Of course, if she really does that, the only outcome will be mutual destruction.

If all the gods are blown up, then naturally the people of the conscious world will not survive either.

This is definitely not what Milo wanted.

So Milo made some minor modifications to this crazy plan.

...

Azadi's ability is to create new worlds by resetting reality based on existing consciousness.

In layman's terms, He dreams while He is asleep, and His dreams affect reality.

Just as the dream creations of dreamers and dreamers become reality in the dream world, Azadi's dreams affect the waking world, or rather, the waking world is part of His dream.

"Reset reality based on existing consciousness."

This is the top priority.

So Milo went to "deliver" it.

……

The order of events in Milo's memory—their brief conversation, Milo's entanglement with the old conflict, and Emma's use of the Noscia Equation to bridge the gap between Milo and Azzati—was actually chaotic until old Theon returned Milo's part of his dead soul to him, making everything clear.

Do you remember Imnar's lines when he was still the number one boss?
It says the only way to become a shadow is to cut off weak and useless emotions.

Milo's first death severed this part of himself.

At the moment of his death, the work on the Noscia equation was also completed, and Milo and Azati successfully achieved resonance.

Thus, a dream that should not have existed was born under the blood moon, a small world created in front of Milo's tombstone, a world reset based on his existing will.

Let's call it a tombstone dream for now.

...

From this moment on, what unfolds in the tombstone dream is all that we know.

After returning to Nanwei City from the Pohnpei Peninsula with Rebecca, they spent a relatively quiet and peaceful time, including fooling around with Enid, developing the Bounty Order, and dealing with matters related to Silver Twilight Cottage, etc. Finally, after leaving the church, they welcomed the Blood Moon.

Milo in the Tombstone Dream has already been "killed" once.

He lost a part of himself, forgetting not only his real name but also the first tragic ending that had already occurred in the conscious world.

Moreover, having severed his base emotions, Shadow displayed an indifference that surprised even himself during that period, such as calmly observing from the sidelines of the burning building until Enid gave him a severe scolding.

Although he had forgotten most of what had already happened, fragmented memories would occasionally flash back at certain moments, such as the sight of Yan's death he saw on the clock tower, which had already occurred in his conscious world...

Indeed, just as Milo had predicted in the Tombstone Dream, they had already lost completely once.

...

And just as Emma said.

To threaten the gods, they must be made to leave the dream realm.

Therefore, this time, the lost Milo must bring about this condition.

Emma and the deceased Milo went to great lengths to guide this indifferent fellow on his mission.

For example, sending survivors from the conscious world into the Tombstone Dream provides "spoilers" for the lost Milo.

Including the Eye Saintess.

Includes C.

Daisy, who was also a spoiler, saw a glimpse of the future entirely through the power of her Eye of Thinking. Therefore, she presented Milo with what was about to happen in the Tombstone world, not the bleak ending in the Lucid world.

All of this information that baffled Milo in the tombstone dream came from the waking world, and they soon faced reckoning and silencing.

Because from the moment the dream of the tombstone was formed, the gods have been watching it.

The existence of the tombstones forced them to postpone their plan to flatten the entire civilization. Thus, the conscious world remained in the Blood Moon Age, the world described by C, completely different from the one in Milo's memories.

...

As for how Theon came to be...

We must go back to Milo's first death.

After his death, his remaining will was returned to Lake Hale in Aldebaran 5, which is now the residence of Theon.

On the night of the hunt, Theon answered Kakosha's call; he was neither completely lost nor entirely in control.

What actually drove him to reach a consensus with that ancient will in yellow robes was something else entirely.

...

"Don't you miss the Pleasure House at all?" These were the first words Milo said to old Theon after falling into Lake Harley.

Thus, in the dream of the reset tombstone, there appeared a mysterious person who carried Byakki wherever he went—a visitor from Kakosa.

That's why Yan suffered two setbacks at the pleasure house.

After all, when it comes to seniority, Theon is indeed the veteran of the pleasure house, hehe.

...

“So you still haven’t told me why you left without saying goodbye?” Milo asked old Theon.

Old Theon lit another cigarette, poked his temple with his finger, and recalled:
“At the time, a voice told me that there was a lake here that contained the souls of all the dead who were worth remembering. I thought, why not come and take a look?”

Milo suddenly realized.

...

"When are you planning to go back? After all, this was a scheme you orchestrated yourself, and you'll be the one to clean up the mess in the end," old Theon asked Milo.

"As you wished, the gods left the Dream Realm and not only entered the Realm of Lucidity, but also ventured deep into the Dream Realm of Tombstones. This is what you meant by a one-way ticket, right?"

“Of course,” Milo nodded.

The reason why there are so many channels and routes between the dream world and the waking world is that the dream world is based on the dreams of living beings in the waking world, and every dreamer and dream creator can be a medium to communicate between the two worlds.

But tombstones are different.

That was a dream that belonged only to Milo and Azati, and had nothing to do with the gods.

Getting in is easy, but getting out is difficult.

...

"And that thing I told you before..." Emma hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

“Enid?” Milo asked, puzzled. “I was just about to ask that. Our plan doesn’t seem to involve her, does it?”

Enid was always a mascot in the Valrocan family. Even when they were selecting survivors to enter the Tombstone Dream to provide guidance, they didn't consider Enid at all, because in Emma's and Milo's minds, Enid was someone who had nothing to do with any mystery.

Even that little brat Marty was sent into the Tombstone world.

They never even considered letting Enid take that risk.

"But in the end, problems still arose."

"Let's figure something out when we get back to the world of consciousness..."

A very familiar phrase has been echoing in Milo's mind lately—you can't save everyone.

...

……

"Leave immediately?"

Old Theon glanced at the two men in front of him, then nodded:

"That's true. After all, the gods are imprisoned there. Every second of delay increases the risk many times over. Drink this."

As he spoke, he tossed Milo a small bottle of new golden mead.

Then, a large number of Byakkis appeared on Lake Hali.

The KEIM field is ready.
