Chapter 923 Change of plan
"Alright alright."

Milo stood up and shook his trench coat.

As he spoke, he reached under his trench coat and began to grope around.

This action immediately alarmed the priests of the Hooked Finger Temple in the gloomy sky ahead, who were on high alert. Most of them immediately prepared for battle, while the very few who remained almost lost their composure and ran wildly along the pre-planned escape route.

But what Milo pulled out from under his black trench coat was just a pipe.

He calmly stuffed some tobacco into the cigarette, lit it with a spark from his fingertips, and took a deep drag.

...

Now, the priests, who were on high alert and preparing for launch, all felt they had been deceived.

The giant fingers hanging between the dark clouds also swayed a few times, looking slightly embarrassed.

Just as the priests were on edge, Milo reached into his pocket again.

The gods were startled once again.

But this time he pulled out a very exquisite metal flask, unscrewed the lid, and started chugging.

No one knows what Milo is up to.

He may indeed be among the top-tier warriors in the Dream Realm during the Age of the Lost Gods, but he is not yet strong enough to disregard an entire temple. This temple is home to all the remaining ancient beings of the Hooked Finger Temple after the Blood Moon, and any one of them would be treated as a god elsewhere.

Milo's behavior made them feel insulted and desecrated. Although the rulers of the old era did not have rich human emotions, the feeling of being desecrated was very clear, somewhat similar to Milo's state after Grasso was killed.

"Red Baron, White Reaper, hmm... Lord of the Finger... and the offspring who was kicked out by the Lord of Flame, you bunch of cattle and horses have quite a mixed background. Rumor has it that the Finger Temple in the Dream Realm is a waste disposal site, and it certainly lives up to its name."

Milo exhaled a puff of smoke and, as if calling out names, read out the names of the finger priests hidden in the gloom and above the giant fingers.

After this series of names was read out, even the giant fingers hanging in the air were no longer calm.

...

The Eye of Thinking is kept in Milo's house, so naturally, such a bug-like device has to be put to use.

Before this trip, Daisy had told Milo everything she could see, including how many priests the Hook Temple would send and what their backgrounds were. Milo already knew all about it.

As that plume of smoke was exhaled, it floated into the air.

The domain opened wide in the next instant.

Thick smoke spread wildly in the air, quickly changing from grayish-white to wisps of black smoke, and then expanding into a fog wall that completely covered the sky above the Kingdom of Kem.

...

"He is indeed a madman, just like the legends say."

Above the gloomy sky, none of the priests managed to escape the fog wall's domain.

A muffled thud came from the haze.

They certainly knew what the Fog Wall Domain was. Once this domain was isolated, the battle inside would be a fight to the death. Either they would join forces to kill Milo and end the Fog Wall Domain, or Milo would kill or cripple them all and, feeling that the battle was over, would voluntarily retract the Fog Wall.

A dense, black aura isolated the entire sky.

Milo's figure seemed to be imprinted in the black mist, with endless black mist surrounding and embracing him.

……

...

The maglev cat car, which was still speeding through the Enchanted Forest, suddenly stopped.

Rebecca stepped on the cat's head, raised her Whitworth rifle, and locked onto the direction of the Kingdom of Kem in the dark night, the elegant barrel glowing red.

She could have locked onto the priests Milo was facing, and even at this distance, she was confident she could shatter one of their bodies with a single shot. However, once the Fog Wall domain was activated, that unerring lock-on vanished.

Behind the sniper scope, Rebecca's eyes flashed with anger.

"He's messing around again!"

But before she could even mentally unleash a torrent of abuse on Milo, a blazing, leaping flame suddenly appeared out of thin air beside her.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice came from the flames.

"The plan has changed, hehe."

"Let Hachimedes bring the cat over to do the work."

"As for you, I need you to go to the lair of the Hooked Finger Temple. It's empty there, so you don't need to do anything, just set it on fire."

"Don't be angry, my dear little butterfly~~"

...

After Milo said "little butterfly," the flames vanished on the spot, turning into a crimson bullet that landed in Rebecca's palm.

Rebecca held the bullet in her hand, turned to look in the direction of the Kingdom of Kem, frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly realized that the cats and people around her were giving her strange looks.

"Little butterfly?"

Especially Kai.

This was the first time she had heard Milo call Rebecca that. Not knowing the origin of the nickname, she carefully examined the face of the woman with the gun in front of her, trying to find some element related to butterflies in her.

Then he got a fierce glare.

But Kai pretended not to notice and asked a cat next to him in a serious tone, "That's a nickname, right?"

"I don't quite understand your human sensibilities. Imagining one's mate as another species is not encouraged in Usa," the cat replied honestly.

It's clear that he's an academic.

……

And so, Rebecca, carrying her rifle, parted ways with the cat squad.

They were actually quite close to the Kingdom of Kem. The cats' mission remained to smelt and repair the abyssal rifts, which was the most important thing on their journey.

Kay and Marshall traveled with a group of cats.

……

In the enchanting forest.

Hunter Monquia happened to see this scene from afar.

A section of the magnetic levitation catcar broke off and sped away in a direction far from the Kingdom of Kem.

"Any changes?"

"That's the direction of the Hook Point Temple," Mei Gao's voice came faintly from behind.

“If I’m not mistaken, he’s here for the power of faith in the Temple of Hooks.” Monquia’s eyes grew more serious.

Before his departure, Raven said that Shadow would inevitably follow the path of the gods, but there were few left in this era who could restrain him. The convergence of all faiths in one person would be a disastrous consequence for the entire Dreamland.

"I already told you, there's no way that golden seed can hold him back in Nanwei City," Mei Gao said leisurely, drifting back and forth among the oak roots in the Enchanted Forest.
“Once he realizes your intentions, are you confident you can withstand the wrath of the Shadow? I mean, even the gods have been cast into the abyss by him.”

Monqueya simply replied with one sentence:
"Do you think I should believe you or Mr. Raven?"
