Chapter 687 The Shadow Behind

In the dream of the tombstone, natural disasters and masks appear on the main battlefield.

A plague appeared at the church gates.

There was also the greed to hunt Emma.

...

These four beings of unknown origin did not appear in the war in the conscious world, and they were not on the same side as the gods.

They call themselves one of the million favored ones.

Does this mean that the people they serve have millions of followers?

……

Logically speaking, given the current situation, with the gods trapped in the Tombstone Dream, Milo's plan has been largely successful, and the most risky part of it has already ended.

However, the appearance of the Four Horsemen brought about an unexpected change to what was a foregone conclusion.

Because you simply can't fathom what the will behind the Four Horsemen really wants to do.

...

In fact, if the soul of the first death hadn't been taken back to Lake Hari, and if Milo hadn't met Old Theon of Kakosha, Emma might have died at the hands of greed.

"That thing with fleshy wings isn't even as good a fight as the old woman in the pleasure house." That was Theon's assessment.

But Milo knew in his heart that the old man was just being stubborn.

In the dream of the tombstone, he had been keeping a close eye on the battle on Emma's side. Old Theon's victory was not easy; he was even wounded, but his yellow robe covered his wounds.

The Four Horsemen's combat power is incredibly strong. Unlike the gods of the dream world, the power they wield is purely based on slaughter and torture, making them beings almost born for war.

Not only was Emma in the valley, but Milo was also keeping a close eye on the battle situation on the church's side.

Now Milo understood that the raven that appeared out of nowhere in front of the church was actually from the sane world, just like old Theon.

"That old bastard from the Monsis school? I saw him leave the Tombstone Dream with a young man and head straight for the Illusion Dream," Old Theon revealed the raven's destination.

His son, that bastard, was beaten to pieces.

The hunter Monquia, however, survived.

Raven did manage to stop Plague, one of the Four Horsemen, but he was helpless against the temple personnel who arrived later.

Ultimately, the eye of thought was taken away.

“No, it was the Eye of Thinking that abandoned Daisy,” Emma corrected. “It saw something, knew what we were going to do with the Tombstone Dream, knew that the Tombstone Dream was not safe, so it voluntarily abandoned Daisy.”

"Ultimately, the Eye of Thinking is also one of the ancient wills, and for it, Daisy is just a replaceable vessel," Old Theon commented calmly.

The raven paid such a high price to stop the most dangerous plague, only to have the Golden Law Temple take advantage of the situation, and even the Eye of Thinking chose to leave on its own initiative.

Afterwards, he went straight to the Dreamland, and it's easy to imagine what he was there to do.

...

"Old Deng, the cult leader, humph, what are you pretending to have a change of heart for?"

Milo has never had a good attitude towards ravens, and the reasons are self-evident.

……

"When do we start?"

Emma looked at Milo.

She appeared calm on the surface, but Milo knew very well how anxious she was inside.

The initial version of this outrageous plan was to ignite Azadi and explode with the gods, a plan devised by Emma.

It's just that Milo found a more rational compromise.

The tombstones used to trap the gods in dreams can also bring the dead back.

But as Emma said, they couldn't save everyone.

…In the world of lucidity, Kang and Finn are both gone; they died at the beginning of the Blood Moon.

In the Tombstone world, Milo was also unable to save both of them.

Ultimately, Finn and Kang were just ordinary people.

Any ripple from that old battlefield would have been enough to tear them apart, let alone the gods who would have descended at the end…

The only way to survive is to become the next summoner of the Canamagus Will, but there can only be one candidate...

In the dream of the tombstone, Finn and Kang both seem to know the course of their fate.

But no matter how much the details are adjusted, no matter how much effort is put into creating the most suitable outcome, ultimately only one of the father and son can survive. That eternal life, burdened with sorrow, may simply be another form of torment…

Milo didn't know how to face Kang.

Emma didn't know either...

All they can do is end this catastrophe as soon as possible.

The road to revenge is still very long.

……

Emma suddenly mentioned:
"Actually, Azati, who was in a deep sleep, could not sense the danger..."

This startled old Theon, who said repeatedly, "Hey, hey, that's not what we agreed on before. Listen, if your crazy lady wants to do something like 'all for one, all for one,' please give me some time to run back to Aldebaran. I'm not prepared to die with those old geezers from Mount Kadas."

"Emma."

Milo looked at Emma.

There was no need to waste words of persuasion; Emma herself relented.
"I know……"

But his dejected and forlorn look was not concealed in the slightest.

……

Milo believed that Emma truly had a way to detonate the Chaos Court's Azadi, and he never doubted Emma's ability to create a massive explosion.

If the Tombstone Dream fails to save anyone, perhaps Milo will really go all out against the old men of Cardas.

But at least some people survived, didn't they?
...

There is another important reason.

The origins of the Noscia equation on Emma and the octagonal crystal with its unorthodox shape are unknown, but it was these very things that led them to Azati and the solution to their predicament.

Therefore, Milo felt that if he really engaged in a self-destruction with the gods, there was a very high probability that the shadow hiding behind the scenes would succeed.

……

“That’s right, someone wants the gods to never return to the Dreamland, you know what I mean?” Old Theon sat on the back of the largest Byakki’s neck, puffing out thick smoke.

Then it was mentioned again:
“The memories I received from Kakosa are incomplete, but I can tell you very clearly that the Four Horsemen who appeared out of nowhere belonged to the master of the Triple Octahedron. At least they considered themselves His children. Do you remember what Greed said that day? He said he had come to take back what belonged to His master.”

"Didn't we take them all down?" Milo shrugged.

In his memory, the Four Horsemen did not end up with a good ending.

But old Theon kept shaking his head:

"Those were beings that made even the gods tremble during the ancient wars of the gods. Do you think we defeated their true forms back then?"

“Hmm—” Milo raised an eyebrow.

...

……

The KEIM field has ceased to function on a barren, scorched wasteland.

They were now very close to the entrance to the tombstone dream...
