Chapter 931 Backhand
Milo actually knew most of what was happening in the Kingdom of Kem, especially about the Hook Temple. Having a cheat code at home is always a good thing.

However, Daisy would become very tired every time she used the power of the Eye of Thinking, sometimes sleeping for dozens of hours in a row, so Milo and Emma didn't let her use the Eye of Thinking too frequently.

...

The Kem Royal Residence.

A large group of cats carrying equipment and wearing goggles created a scene of crackling and sparks flying, resembling a welding factory.

Above was a fog wall that had turned into a fiery cloud, while in the distance, the seaside was bustling with people, many awakened beings singing and dancing. New Imnar corpses were constantly being produced on the streets, and the small hills were piling up higher and higher.

In this situation, perhaps what's most lacking is a talented composer.

Otherwise, it would create a bizarre and insane picture of a human hell.

...

The battle within the Fog Wall was longer than any fight Milo had ever experienced before.

Aegon was right about one thing: although his power had increased significantly, his temperament had undergone a tremendous change, a change that his enemies perceived as weakness.

It can also be interpreted as a maternal instinct.

But Milo was still aware of the situation. He couldn't do something like blablabla saying nonsense like "Wake up!" while being beaten. In a situation where there was no way to salvage the situation, he would still do what he had to do. After all, the Fog Wall Domain had already been activated, and the domain wouldn't dissolve until they completely fought to the death in terms of godhood.

Are the followers of the Hooked Finger strong?
In his opinion, it was only considered "okay".

Essentially, the Hook Temple is not a temple system known for its combat power. Unlike the Golden Law Temple, the Hook Temple in Mount Kadas is more of a priest or scholar type. The Hook Temple is located in the southeast of the western continent, which can be considered a pasture built in one of the most fertile and safest locations. It is one of the ancient natives of the Dreamland.

Compared to the Golden Kingdom, the Temple of Hooked Finger lacks the bloody history of conquering demons, other dimensions, and guarding the passage for star invasion. Therefore, it does not possess overwhelming combat power, nor does it have a legacy like the Blade of Law.

The remaining members of the old guard were the best of the worst; all the capable fighters had already gone to the abyss.

These hybrid offspring of Red Barons, White Death, and other deities are at best of the life sequence of the likes of Glagi, and even less than the dung ball Glagi.

To put it simply, it's "crunchy and crunchy".

...

like this.

"Click——"

The head that housed the Red Baron, a useful divine embryo, was crushed to pieces by Milo's pure physical strength.

Although the prodigy's face still looked like that of a teenager, Milo's movements were swift and decisive.

After the divine embryo shattered, the power of faith gathered in that strange body came into contact with the fire of sin. In an instant, it was like some highly flammable material touching a spark, resulting in a violent explosion.

bang——

The blazing fireball and blinding light expanded instantly, engulfing Milo's entire figure.

The terrifying roar and violent tremors caused cracks to appear in the surrounding space. These were the cracks in the world's barrier, and deep within the cracks, one could see the lingering order of time, undergoing some kind of slow repair.

The moment the explosion occurred, the Red Baron's divine essence and will detached from his divine embryo body, shooting off in opposite directions.

But its movements were still too slow.

The divine essence, which had been imbued with the order of the hook, was caught by Milo with his bare hands as soon as it separated from his body.

As for the Red Baron's physical will, it froze in mid-air the instant it rushed out.

The phantom looked down in astonishment and discovered a crowbar hanging from the inside out on its chest. The curved structure at the end of the crowbar seemed to be embedded in its body, rendering it unable to move.

...

This is the awkward situation faced by those at the bottom in the past.

Because it is a being from the Old Order, compared to the believers that Milo had previously slaughtered in the Unseen Lands, it not only possesses a will similar to a remnant soul, but also has a divine aspect.

But it was also thought to be from the lower realms of the past, so its divine essence was not as difficult to track as the Three Ladies of Sorrow, and could even be caught with bare hands. And crushed.

……

If it could successfully escape the Fog Wall domain, it might actually be able to return to the blessed domain of the Hooked Finger Temple and be resurrected with the protection of the remaining gods there. But the problem is, with Shadow holding both of its lifelines in its grasp, hoping for any blessings is just wishful thinking.

bang——

Milo didn't even glance at the Red Baron, whose face was filled with astonishment and fear. He suddenly clenched his five fingers, crushing the divine core into starlight. The next instant, a spiral of black flames ignited on the crowbar, burning the Red Baron into the Black Baron. In less than two seconds, not even ashes remained of the original will.

After doing all this, Milo's face did not show any obvious emotional fluctuation.

His attention was more focused on the divine embryo that had been detonated earlier.

"Perhaps Emma would like this."

Milo muttered something to himself.

My older sister, who's as cold as an iceberg, really loves anything that can explode.

...

He turned his gaze to the remaining fingers hanging in the dark clouds, and to the other oddly shaped, incongruous believers with their hooked fingers.

Aegon met Milo's gaze, her eyes indifferent and devoid of any emotion, but her mind was clear. She knew that Milo was stalling for time, not because he was incapable of quickly determining the winner, but because it was unnecessary.

Outside, the cat army from Uthar is working on melting down the Abyssal Rift. If Milo wants, he can spend a very long time in the Fog Wall domain with Aegon and the others. He had previously melted down an Abyssal Rift himself and had already calculated precisely how long it would take the cats to clear the openings above the Royal Residence.

So the temple that should be in a hurry right now is Hooked Finger Temple.

They came to summon the will of the Hook Finger. If these dozen or so abyssal rifts are erased, and the channel to communicate with the abyss is lost, the entire mission will be in vain.

...

Aegon didn't glance once more at the remnants of the Red Baron's shattered will.

She reached out her hand, palm up.

A whole new realm began to expand from the depths of her palm.

That was the surging power of the hook's order.

Ripples spread across the blue halo, and an eerie tranquility slowly enveloped this area of ​​the mist wall.

...

Hook is one of the deities who participated in the War of the Stars.

His ability to sit firmly on Mount Kadaz and possess such a large and rich pasture in the west must have been due to the irreplaceable role he played in that war.

The will of the hook is not the main fighting force, but what it summons is often more terrifying than itself.

...

What will be summoned when a god-like being casts a spell from the first order of magic in ancient texts?
Milo, holding a crowbar, did not stop Aegon from casting the spell, because he knew very well that Aegon's will was an aggregate of the faith of the Hook Temple, far from being a deity. What she summoned would not exceed the scope of a deity. At the same time, what supported this summoning ritual was the entire faith herd behind the Hook Temple, not Aegon herself.

Daisy had already done her homework for Milo before they arrived.

That's why Rebecca was chosen as a backup plan.

...

Milo stroked his chin, estimating the time:

"We should be almost at the Temple of Hooked Finger by now."
