Chapter 482 The Foresight

"One day you will forget what you once said and willingly shoulder the responsibility of being the watcher of the abyss..."

These are the exact words spoken by the embodiment of the Mother Goddess's will on her deathbed.

Although Milo never pondered the ravings of the divine will deeply, his memory was more than enough to hold them all in his mind.

This is a point of information mentioned simultaneously by the Mother Goddess's will and the young Crow.

"Abyss", "Watcher".

Regardless, the Abyss left a very deep impression on Milo. It wasn't just because there was the gentle and considerate Emma and the philandering Enid in that imagined world, but more importantly, because Milo met a man who called himself Tutis Claude there, and witnessed the annihilation of the world as his journey in the Abyss was about to end.

……

"I know, of course I know."

A playful smile appeared on young Crow's face:

“You are one of the very few beings in history who have reached the end of order and still maintained your original humanity. Everyone in the world knows this, and it is even clearly recorded in the Book of the Revelation.”

“Nonsense, do you think I haven’t read the Book of Revelation?” Milo shook his head. “If you’re trying to flatter me, just compliment my face. No need for all this roundabout talk.”

"With a knife to my throat, it's your decision." Young Crow had no objection to this.

"You know you have a knife to your throat, and after all this talk, you haven't even said a word of begging for mercy. This is a newly conceived body, don't you cherish it at all?" Milo tilted his head and looked the boy Crow up and down.

This guy didn't show a trace of worry from beginning to end, even though the frost on the scythe had already frostbitten a large area of ​​the skin on the back of his neck.

“You can’t kill me, and you won’t kill me.” Young Crow slowly raised his head, his eyes clear. “I don’t know the specific reason. I only know that our story has just begun. Yes… it began from this moment. You can’t imagine what I’ve seen, and you can’t understand it all yet. Even I can’t fully understand it at this stage. But believe me, under the cage of order, some outcomes are already predetermined. For example, today I will not have my soul and will erased by primordial humanity, and I will not die at your hands. Do you think I dared to self-immolate because I believed you would definitely attack the Mother Goddess? No, no, what I’m certain of is the destiny that has already been determined under the order.”

"What I mean is, you don't know why, but you just feel like you won't die, which is indeed an invincible reason." Milo rolled his eyes.

He really wanted to cut this guy in half.

Milo has met many eccentric individuals, but young Crow is not entirely one of the riddle-makers. His madness is mainly manifested in the bizarre and unconventional logic in his speech.

Young Crow, however, continued talking to himself:
“Because I am a visionary. If I were to die at your hands now, how could I know of the apocalyptic calamity? How could I witness the arrival of the era of war… Even the King of Tindaros cannot keep up with my pace; the only one who can surpass me is my own android… Oh, I remember now, you were also prey targeted by those hounds, weren't you? Then you must understand how I knew of the apocalypse…”

Milo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested.

After all, even though he had already reached the Shadow Rank, the Hound Curse on him had not yet been lifted.

The reason why no hounds appeared this year was simply because Sothos's projection avatar had fed them last time. According to the Scarlet Witch, when the time comes, the hounds will realize that Milo's true form is not dead, and they will still follow the scent and emerge from the angle space-time to hunt.

As for how to break the curse, the idea proposed by the Scarlet Witch long ago was eventually abandoned.

At the time, she proposed to find the whereabouts of a deity named Idhaila through fragments of Glaqi's memories, and use this information to exchange with His companion for a way to break the hound's curse.

Idhaila did indeed appear in Geragi's memory.

But it was only a fleeting glimpse.

It had no idea where this Outer God had gone during the ancient war of gods, because it had hidden itself away long ago. This guy was a complete coward.

So the plan to get rid of the dog had to be put on hold for the time being. Milo still doesn't know what Idhaila's partner is or why he has the ability to get rid of the hunting dogs.

Of course, at this point he didn't even know where the Scarlet Witch was; she had been missing for quite some time.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should reappear on her own today or tomorrow.

……

Thinking this, Milo turned his head and glanced at the spot where the Mother Goddess's avatar had finally collapsed, where there was a pool of sticky blood on the ground.

...

"So you also crossed the time taboo, is that what you mean? No wonder you were so sure you wouldn't die."

Milo shook his head.

Those who have peeked at the script are indeed very confident.

...

“I will not be your enemy, and you don’t need to keep an eye on me. My only enemy is ignorance itself,” young Crow said confidently. “Moreover, in a way, my generation’s rebirth is thanks to you. Without you crushing the initial humanity, I would have vanished. So, theoretically, you can be considered half my father.”

"Recognize a father figure? Recognizing a father figure doesn't necessarily guarantee a way out," Milo joked.

"Why choose a different path to survival? You don't have an absolute reason to kill me, do you?" Young Crow shook his head. "Because I instigated the Old War? No, the war was inevitable. Perhaps you only see the chaos and slaughter that began from this moment, but don't forget, while the many offspring of the Mother Goddess hate you, the inhabitants of the Dreamland will soon know about it. When they learn that a newly ascended Shadow has slain an Outer God's avatar for the sake of his fallen believers, their desire for your faith will have already taken root deep in their hearts. The essence of this war is to plunder faith, but in reality, you have already won, haven't you?"

Milo recalled what Daisy and the Archbishop of the Church had said—war brings disaster, disaster brings death, and that is the best time to plunder faith.

What Crow said made a lot of sense.

That makes a lot of sense.

From this perspective, it seems that Milo has already won at the starting line.

But he had already been called a wicked blasphemer and godkiller, and it seemed that he didn't feel anything special about it.

Milo rubbed his hands together and said to the boy Crow:
"But actually, you know, I don't need to say so much to you here. You understand what I mean."

"Of course I understand. The most basic ability of a psychic is... To be honest, looking back on so many years of research, I sometimes wonder why, although the theory of psychic vision in this world started with me, the origin of psychics is not me, but my students, hehe."

Crow seemed oblivious to Milo's implied meaning, and was even preoccupied with other matters.

This is somewhat beyond Milo's capabilities.

He blinked, then shook his head:
"Forget it, I'll figure out whether you're Raven or not myself."

After saying that, Milo snapped his fingers.

The scythe hanging from the back of Crow's neck slashed down.
