Chapter 691 The Favored Ones
After being reborn... no, it can't really be called a rebirth. Strictly speaking, both Shadow Milo and CCD Milo are dead. The remaining part can perhaps be understood as the Milo who just stepped into this world in the beginning.

In short, he lost almost all the power he once possessed.

That terrifying ability, enough to take on two Favored Knights single-handedly, has completely vanished. All that remains are these forbidden knowledge records, like those in the small notebook in his hand.

...

Then why did Mego have to pitifully beg Milo to let it go?

Why isn't Milo afraid that the gods will turn around and crush him with a single slap?
...

It's all thanks to Dorothy.

A crucial point about the summoning ritual of Dawros is that it cannot be interrupted.

This ritual absolutely must not be interrupted, otherwise the steel wool ball mixed with many distorted substances will expand infinitely and destroy this entire world.

As for Milo, the weaker and more fragile he is as the summoner, the more trouble the gods will have.

……

"So the gods should be the ones feeling fear, right?" Meg's shadow was slightly surprised.

Perhaps, as Emma suggested, detonating Azadi would be a suicidal choice, but it would be a choice with nearly a 99% chance of being stopped by the gods, and would most likely result in failure, which is definitely not the outcome Milo wanted to see.

That's why the aloof Doros was chosen to be the destroyer of the Tombstone Dream.

Once Milo begins the summoning ritual, even if all the gods are present, they can't do anything to him. They even have to act as bodyguards to ensure that Milo can safely and smoothly complete the summoning ritual for Dolos, and finally send this guy away smoothly.

Then the gods could torment Milo to their heart's content.

Mei Gao slowly said:

"But you should also understand that the gods continue the bloodline of the old gods, and they also carry the power of faith of the people of the Dreamland. Even if the Tombstone Dreamland is destroyed by Daoros, it is impossible to kill so many gods at once."

“But they will all fall into the abyss.” Milo raised an eyebrow.

For these immortal beings, the abyss is the most terrifying place.

The path to the Dream Realm has been severed; they are like goldfish trapped in a bag, and the Tombstone Dream is that bag. When the dream realm perishes, the goldfish will flow out through the existing gaps. At this moment, the only connection to the Tombstone Dream is through countless abyssal rifts.

...

"So what will it take for you to let me leave..."

Mei Gao sighed.

The will of Milo quickly entered its mind. Milo said, "Just wait for the tombstone dream to be destroyed. After all, you crawled out of the abyss, didn't you?"

"you……"

Mego was furious, but it was clearly powerless against Milo.

Not to mention that it has no offensive capabilities in its remnant soul state, even if it were mastered, it would face the same dilemma as the gods. It cannot do anything to Milo, because once the ritual is interrupted, the end of the world will come sooner than expected.

...

"Hey……"

A lingering shadow sighed.

...

But soon, Milo's next words rekindled Meg's hope for life.

He said, "You've been stuck in the tombstone dream. Tell me what happened to that girl? Maybe I can consider giving you a back door."

"A girl? Which girl do you want to know?!" Mei Gao suddenly became excited.

In this devastated and broken world, how many girls are left? Milo surely knows everything it wants to know; there's hope now.

"Enid Kent".

"She was murdered!"

"Who did this?"

“I didn’t recognize them. There were three women, an old woman, a young woman, and a very young woman, who called themselves the Sad Women. I saw some fragmented images and heard some scattered words. They deceived Kent, imprisoned and crushed her soul…”

Mei Gao recounted the story in detail.

But it discovered that as it continued to describe itself, Milo inexplicably began to emanate a chilling aura that made people—no, ghosts—feel uneasy.

What's most incomprehensible is that right now, Milo is just a frail, ordinary person...

"Continue." Milo's voice entered Mego's mind.

It nodded repeatedly, not daring to delay for even a moment:

"The Sorrowful Ladies killed the girl at the Enforcement Office; her body is in the main hall of the Enforcement Office in the south of the city... Then, they tricked the girl's soul into going to the printing press, keeping her soul away from the gods' sight. At the end of the Old War, which was when the last one of you died, they crushed the girl's soul because..." "Because the gods realized they were trapped in the Tombstone Dream and began desperately searching for a way back, and the girl, the girl was the only remaining dream weaver in the Tombstone Dream; her soul was the only medium connecting her to the Dream Realm."

"The Three Ladies of Sorrow held some secret negotiations with the gods."

"I don't know if any deities actually returned to the Dreamland through the girl's soul, but the end result was that they shattered the girl's soul and completely severed this passage."

"That's roughly how it is..."

Mei Gao had already told him everything she knew, however little she did.

It could sense the murderous intent emanating from Milo that shouldn't have been so strong.

You can also sense that Milo is thinking about something.

...

"The three grieving ladies?"

Milo repeated the title in a low voice.

Meg quickly added, "They also call themselves the favored ones!"

"Another favored one?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I've got it."

……

...

Tombstone Dream.

The church ruins, beneath layers of accumulated rubble, reveal the altar that once belonged to the Sumerians—a place never to be seen.

This dark, deep underground is now the only refuge for the survivors, while those who can roam "freely" on the surface are all worshippers of the Blood Moon.

Many familiar faces live in the dim, unseen land.

For example, Rebecca, Lonnie, and several others who participated in the old war that day, as well as Johnny and the others who later evacuated in time.

Bald Wendigo, black cat Marshall, and Kay are all there too.

……

At that time, Emma was actually about to take these people and Theon back to Aldebaran.

But at the last minute, they all started acting strangely, saying they wanted to stay for the sake of the survivors in the city...

...

They had no idea what kind of world they were in, nor could they understand Milo and Emma's arrangements. Emma couldn't convince so many people at the same time, so she could only let Rebecca and the others continue to wait in the tombstone dream.

She herself still had to do a lot of follow-up work to facilitate Milo's plan.

Thus, the unseen land became the survivors'...altar. To be precise, the altar left by the Sumerians was put to use. They swept away the original dust, lit candles again on the ancient buildings, and lit bonfires.

Even Milo's severed arm was snatched back from the mad incarnation of the Black Goat of the Forest by Rebecca and her men.

The believers placed Milo's hand at the highest point of the altar, still making a "V" sign...

Retrieving the severed arm was just one of many things Rebecca did. She personally carried the vast majority of the survivors back to the area. Every day, she would put on her cloak and step into the scorched earth of the surface world to search for survivors, day after day.

...

In addition, Rebecca is also searching for some familiar faces.

Daisy.

She searched almost the entire church ruins but still couldn't find the child.

And Kang.

Some say they have seen a hunched figure wandering in the desert under the blood moon.

These people are all on Rebecca's search list...

...

In fact, everyone in the Unseen Land understood that while they were indeed searching for survivors, the real reason was that she couldn't accept the fact that the person had perished; at least a severed arm wasn't enough to convince her.

So as long as there are no results, she will not stop.

The person she was really looking for wasn't on that list...
