Chapter 960: Holding a grudge
"You'd better be talking about people."

"Well... that's right."

...

"Let me make this clear first, I won't be involved in your plans."

Klaus popped up a chat window.

“What do you mean, ‘your’ or ‘our’?” Milo chuckled.

“Yes, it’s our plan.” Imnal meant that he had agreed to Milo’s deal.

...

The battle on Enid's side is nearing its end.

In fact, with her infinitely stacked buffs and her blatant monkey-like antics, if it were an ordinary dream deity, such as Horthas's brother, the Emerald Horthas, she would probably be blasted to pieces in a single encounter.

Of course, such combat power can only be realized in this abyss world, because no matter how much knowledge Milo, Imnar, or Klaue have stored in their minds, a large part of it cannot be replicated in reality.

This world directly transforms knowledge into real-world power.

This led Milo to fantasize about a possibility.

Since Enid is invincible here, why not go and capture the dream gods scattered in other abyssal worlds one by one and bring them here, so that Enid can be in charge of their execution?

Obviously, this won't work.

Because the chaos in the abyss will continuously learn, the entry of new gods will soon cause the chaos to evolve into a new order. At that time, the rules for the transformation between reality and illusion in this world may be distorted, and Enid's combat power will change.

In fact, the chaos was already changing at this point, because Milo and his group had been inside for some time.

...

"That's right, you carry out our plan."

Milo flicked a chuckle emoji.

"Why drag me into this? I mean, god-killing is something I'm not usually involved in. I've always been a scholar, always have been."

Crow knew perfectly well what Milo was up to.

Deceivers and Shadows—these are the kinds of people who blaspheme against the gods, and now they're going to hunt them down in the abyss.

Just as Imnal said before, one has to choose a side.

Milo has given his answer—he's definitely not on the side of the Dream Gods.

...

"As far as I know, no one invited you to the Kingdom of Kem. You came here on your own, right?" Milo asked.

“Yes, he came by himself,” Imnar answered the question for Crow directly.

"In other words, no one forced you to participate; it was your own subconscious desire to join this glorious cause. And, in fact, you know that we need you to join us," Milo continued his persuasive rhetoric.

"In which aspects?" Crow asked.

“We need your help to find prey in the abyss,” Imnar said bluntly.

"Have the gods now been reduced to being prey?" Crow asked rhetorically.

"Whether it's hunter or prey depends entirely on the circumstances, doesn't it?" Imnal countered.

In some ways, Klaus's understanding of the Abyss was no less than that of the Abyss scholar, King Kurans, but he never mastered the Ember Flame, so he never actually entered the Abyss—meaning he never entered it on a physical level.

But he possesses the means to descend into the abyss on a spiritual level.

That was guidance from the "Snail City Text".

In the city of Luoyan, which is outside the regular timeline, Klaue once used this method to send Milo's spiritual will into the abyss.

And it delivered him to the world where Meg was with perfect accuracy.

...

In fact, Klaus never craved power.

He is fundamentally different from the raven.

Whether he was guarding the moonlight or gazing at the stars, what he yearned for was the same as what all other scholars in the world yearned for.

His gaze wasn't always fixed on the stars; in his spare time, he would also secretly peek into the bottom of the abyss.

…“You know, I’ve always been a person who seeks knowledge.”

Crow then gave his terms:
"My request is simple: those dead gods..."

“I think you’re probably not in a position to negotiate,” Milo interrupted Crow’s chat.

Physical interruption.

Crow paused for a moment, then, as if recalling something, said to Milo with a sudden realization:
"You still harbor resentment about that! That woman named Grasso, right?"

“I have now merged with humanity, have you forgotten?” Milo gave his answer.

Crow remained silent for a long time.

He found his discovery incredible.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that the two superiors in front of him seemed to have absorbed and integrated human nature, while he was still adhering to the way he used to communicate with those superiors who had suppressed human nature.

In an instant, Crow understood why he kept getting the short end of the stick.

...

"Human nature is indeed a very strange and complex thing."

He was good at dealing with non-human beings, but unfortunately he seemed to have forgotten how to deal with humans.

People can hold grudges, act impulsively, and be willful.

Some people are determined to experience what it's like to be a father, while others are still hung up on things that happened in their past lives.

Crow questioned Milo:

"Did you ever love that woman?"

"No," the latter replied immediately.

"Then you fucking..."

"Are you going to do it or not? If you don't want to, I can have that kid come and kill you right now."

"Dry."

Crow had no other choice.

From the moment he was swept into the abyss rift forged by the embers, the initiative was no longer in his hands.

...

"Perfect timing, you can help us find the world where the dream deity resides."

Milo popped up the chat box.

At this point, he had achieved half of his goal.

"I need a guarantee," Imnar said.

“I’m not the type to take every opportunity to exploit people,” Milo said.

Imnal: "You are."

Milo: "You're pretty good at judging people."

Imnal: "So I need guarantees."

Milo: "I'll write you a guarantee."

Imnar: "After killing a fixed number of gods, you must let us return to the Dreamland."

Milo: "I can consider it."

Imnar: "It's not a matter of whether or not to consider it. All my plans are based on the Dream Realm, do you understand what I mean? In the Abyss, I can't guarantee that I can suppress this God of the Void forever. When His will regains dominance, I can't guarantee that He won't unite with the gods in the Dream Realm."

Milo:

"That's an interesting setting."

"But I don't want to delve into it now. Whether it's true or false, I'll verify it when I return to the Dreamland. You just need to focus on your work."

Imnar: "You!..."
