Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 896 Hopeless

Whether the gods predicted that Milo would enter the abyss to investigate, or whether it was an unintentional act, there was nothing to be found in the tomb of Zo-Karaal, and the dazed Zo-Karaal remaining outside was clearly incoherent.

His condition was somewhat like that of the dead Vovadas, or even worse, with almost no usable information left.

The Zo-Caral who remained in the small village of paper dolls was just a tiny bit of obsession, and it might not even be his true self, but rather a product of the chaotic order absorbing his obsession and evolving.

How chaotic was He?

Use what little strength you have left to display the dazzling halo of starlight.

Create special effects.

Meaningless.

He has given up the desire to survive, or rather, he has forgotten about the desire to survive.

Milo was incredibly lucky to have managed to glean information about the Lord of Flames and Enid from His few words.

...

Looking back, it seems that only those gods who died at the hands of the dream gods died the most thoroughly; even Milo couldn't match their ruthlessness.

Look at the likes of Vovadaus, and then look at Zo Carrar.

Strictly speaking, they were all killed by their own people.

...

As for Zo-Kalar, the only remaining figure in the paper doll village, whether or not he is eliminated seems to have little significance.

His energy has been taken away by his brothers and elders, and his will has been almost extinguished. After a while, he will completely disappear and be annihilated.

...

Under the night sky, the glow of the stars fully embodies the order of birth and death possessed by Zo-Karaar.

The order He possessed was far weaker than that of the Outer God Shub-Nicholas; even He Himself admitted that His order was only superficial.

Even so, the paper figures in the village, disturbed by the situation, couldn't help but clap their hands at their favorite opponents.

The melodious singing and floating notes that were originally high in the sky were replaced by all sorts of distorted heart symbols at night, and all sorts of messy and unpleasant noises rose and fell.

"He is completely beyond saving."

Milo glanced at Zo-Caral, who was sitting on the lawn, lost in thought, wasting his energy to create dazzling starlight.

Looking down, I saw that petite Enid's head was already sticking out of her pocket, gazing longingly at the house of her two cousins ​​in the distance.

"You're almost beyond saving too."

Milo shook his head and then snapped his fingers.

A tiny flame flickered from his fingertips.

That was a form of flame that evolved from the fire of sin, mimicking the rules of embers, and a bonfire quickly formed on the ground.

Interestingly, in this corner of the abyss world, not only have Milo and Enid become paper cutouts, but even the campfire he releases has become a simple line drawing.

The flames, outlined by a few lines, trembled in the air, and the rising smoke and the released halo were also depicted.

Milo couldn't help but glance again at the starry night sky in the distance, but he didn't say anything more and simply sat down in front of the campfire.

In the past, if he wanted to leave this corner of the world, the only way would be to completely destroy it and leave as a destroyer.

But no more.

Perhaps in some other time and space in the real world, there are people who wish their world could be turned into a paper cutout. As long as it doesn't lead to any uncontrollable consequences, let's just leave that person with a memento.

...

The campfire will never go out unless this corner of the abyss is annihilated. It is the dark side, or you could call it the light side, of this chaotic order.

The abyss, however, has evolved a world that is never entirely dangerous and treacherous.

Yes, Milo has encountered worlds of faith worms, where arthropods have sprouted from the eye sockets of all the abandoned believers. But most of the time, the Abyss binds your soul in a gentler way, causing you to sink into its depths without you even realizing it.

For example, creating a perfect haven of comfort and pleasure.

For example, to make up for a regret deep in your heart.

Milo has seen similar situations far too many times.

The abyss is truly terrifying because it never reveals any obvious threat.

...

Having left the abyss world of paper dolls, Milo returns to a three-dimensional environment.

He appeared neither in the ravines of the Far East restricted zone, nor in the dark abyss at the bottom of the ravine, but deep within a shrine.

The shrine had just been built, with only a foundation laid, and was located in the center of Serefis, the capital of Os-Nargay. Many permanent inhabitants were moving building materials around it.

At the altar in the center of the mausoleum's foundation, a small bonfire flickered.

This is the first thing Milo saw after leaving the abyss.

King Kurans kept his promise; he agreed to build a shrine for Milo and immediately began construction.

The flame in the altar of the Spirit Temple is the result of the combined faith of all the Shadow Believers in the East, and it contains the Flame Rules of the Ember.

...

The two exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

Milo's prison visit has now come to a temporary end.

Although we didn't find the living Dream God, we did manage to gather some valuable information.

His vision is gradually becoming clearer.

The scenes in the abyss are invisible to the Eye of Thought, and more "prison visits" may be needed in the future.

...

Let's head back home.

Milo did not bother Kang again.

Once Kang has made up his mind, nothing I say can change it.

In a sense, Kang is no longer the Kang of the conscious world he once was; like Milo, he has died once.

...

This time, however, Milo doesn't need to rely on Rick's method of sacrificing living beings to reverse the summoning teleportation.

The embers also apply in the Dream Realm, the only difference being that they do not go out in the Abyss, but in the Dream Realm, they exist more as a manifestation of sinful fire, a real form of flame that requires fuel.

And the fuel is the fear and faith offered up by the thousands of believers.

Whenever an altar is erected, flames are lit above it.

Just like what Rick and his good apprentice Adamir are doing right now in the South.

They spread poisoned wheat in the south, causing a series of disasters including St. Westerly Dance and the Fire of St. Anthony. By eliminating the poisoned wheat grains at the source, they screened and purified all crops, creating a completely new sect.

It was named the "Healing Church".

Faith was thus formed, and the desire for life drove all the impoverished people of the Southern Lands to move toward the Church of Healing.

Offer your faith to that new deity.

Then the flames began to burn.
