Chapter 919 My Friend
The southwestern coast of the western continent faces the South Wind Sea, where light and shadow intertwine.

A lost continent once briefly rose over that sea, and the resulting storms once engulfed the entire Kingdom of Kem. After the calamity, the people there welcomed their God, Lord, and Heavenly Father.

This loving God not only brought holy light, but according to his teachings, all his transformations originated from a mysterious concert.

Therefore, during the period before the Kem people "awakened," their faith in this benevolent god contained a large amount of musical elements.

...

dusk.

The city of Kem was desolate. All the still-movable, colorful bodies were piling up on top of each other and rushing toward the Kem royal mansion, because there was a being there that blasphemed the awakened will.

In the decaying city, the dilapidated doors of the Sacred Opera House, facing the South Wind Sea, were being pushed open by a pair of withered hands.

...

With each death, and each awakening from death, something new would appear in his mind, something he himself couldn't distinguish as either illusion or reality.

That must be some form of reincarnation, but the pain brought by reincarnation is not related to death, but to the constantly emerging memories. In these memories, the Year of the Black Goat coexists with the Blood Moon, endless nights coexist with dawn, and madness coexists with reason.

He could often see three places where the suns rose, but below the horizon lay an abyss of nothingness.

...

He placed the two loaves of bread that he had been clutching tightly in his hands on the ground.

Sit down at the piano in the center of the stage at the Sagrada Família.

Dirty fingers touched the piano keys.

The clear melody was like a galaxy tearing through the dark clouds, breaking through the dilapidated and desolate opera house.

...

Gradually, he got into the zone.

His fingertips began to twitch.

The bass began to ooze a muddy, asphalt-like sound, and the vibrating rhythm of the pedal seemed to carry some kind of twisted scales.

His knuckles and face were flushed with a sickly redness.

Sparks began to fly from the hammers, and the wild power of the melody crashed through the cage of reason, leaving bloody scratches.

...

This is not the summoning song of the ancient god Pagon.

The melody raged between a superposition of reason and madness, until at a certain moment, the sense of disharmony that had permeated the first half gradually disappeared, and those seemingly incompatible syllables began to move towards harmony.

No, it's not harmony, but more like entering a second phase, where reason and madness intertwine.

It finally blossomed in a unique way.

...

No ancient gods descended, nor did any outer gods cast their gaze.

In the dilapidated courtyard, Imnar was accompanied only by the last rays of the setting sun.

"boom--"

The audience seats, which were shrouded in shadow below the stage and were completely empty, suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, like a tidal wave that engulfed everything.

……

At this moment, Milo, who was far away at the royal residence in the northern part of the Kingdom of Kem, finally noticed the strange noise coming from the coastal direction.

It was a new beginning, but it also contained the shadow of death.

He knew that was the commotion caused by Imnar.

Perhaps the colorful figures currently surrounding the mansion are not the most insane beings in the Kingdom of Kem; the soul in the distance, brimming with humanity, is the embodiment of the most extreme and insane thoughts.

……

As mentioned earlier, neither the Ancient Gods nor the Outer Gods descended. However, in the last second before the twilight glow on the sea was about to disappear, some shadowy figures finally appeared.

Those were structures that resembled towering towers.

If it is an architectural complex, then it must not have been created by human hands; if it is a living being, then it must only be recorded in some arrogant and evil tome.

That was the shell of Hook, but it did not contain the will of the Hook God.

Even the physical body itself was a vessel created by the followers of the Hooked Finger in the temple through all sorts of evil means.

No words are needed to explain the purpose of the visit.

These shadows, towering like haze above the sea, cast their gaze toward the opera house by the sea, and then gradually turned toward the north of the kingdom.

But the next second, they turned their attention back to the opera house.

Because, according to the laws of nature, that first glance should have driven the performers on stage into a state of complete madness.

But the truth is, he didn't.

...

"Shouldn't you save some time to do what you're supposed to do?"

A slightly immature voice came from the opera house.

The volume wasn't loud or high-pitched, but it pierced the gloom over the sea with perfect precision, reaching the ears of those shadowy figures.

They focused their attention on the opera house stage.

There is still only a piano and a lost soul there.

But a simply dressed young man appeared in the audience at some point.

The young man had a pair of deep, ocean-like eyes, which was the only striking feature about him.

He has a name that isn't particularly famous, but can be found in many corners of history, especially in the tombstone inscriptions of the ghoul race, where that name appears most frequently.

Tutis Claude.

Ah yes, that's the man who has the exact same face as the raven but does the exact opposite thing.

Born through the womb of one of Milo's lovers in the conscious world, she fueled the chaos until the Blood Moon arrived. Her last act was rescuing Imnal from the Kadas prison after the Blood Moon event, after which she disappeared without a trace.

...

The shadowy figure on the sea surface did not respond to Crow's words.

But they did indeed turn their attention back to the interior, which can be considered as agreeing with Crow's proposal.

……

After Imnar finished playing, he seemed distracted, as if he were caught in some kind of internal struggle.

But Claude no longer communed with those beings on the sea surface. He leisurely got up, jumped onto the stage, and strolled over to the dusty piano.

"I'm here to share some good news with you. After much planning and with the help of some enthusiastic friends, we've killed one of the strongest forces left behind by the Dream Gods in the Dream Realm. You know, that outer space monitor, Vovados. Although his death was within the established rules of the gods, it's not an easy thing to bring forward the schedule."

"I'm telling you this just to let you know that you may soon see your father. I mean, the Age of Stars is coming soon."

"Um……"

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you blaming me? Please, I might be your only friend in the world."

"wrong."

"You look a bit unwell, my friend. Did you eat something unclean?"

"Hey Hey hey?"

"Say something, huh?"
