Chapter 988 The Demarini Clock
The deal was completed smoothly just like that.

Rebecca pinned the Four Favored Knights to death in the grotesque, and Igor mobilized the Serpent People to wipe out the Four Knights' faith pastures, cutting off their path to survival.

Milo, on the other hand, must take the Raven Brand interplanetary bus with Igor to Soth in Taurus.

He didn't need to worry about whether Rebecca and the others left behind in Yhre were able to kill the Four Horsemen, nor did he need to worry that Yhre might take the opportunity to kill them. In fact, it was Igor who should be worried, leaving such a large group of killing gods from the South in his lair...

The people of Nanwei City are growing at a rate no slower than Milo. In fact, if Milo doesn't use forbidden power, he might not be able to easily suppress a battle maniac like Rebecca.

In reality, most of the time it was Rebecca who was on top of Milo, well, physically.

...

……

hum-

The small black wooden box grew much larger under the raven's control.

Only after he opened the lid did Milo see the intricate clockwork pattern inside.

Raven: "Please."

Milo glanced at Igor: "You go first."

Igor looked at the raven: "Give me a demonstration."

The raven glanced indifferently at the man and snake before it with its blue-green eyes, then flipped over and jumped into the clock.

Milo nudged Igor with his elbow:

"Don't you think this thing looks a lot like a coffin?"

Igor: "You mean that thing used to fake a dead person's corpse?"

Milo nodded: "Yes, that's right."

Igor: "Luckily, I'm a snake."

Milo: "That's not reasonable."

...

Inside the Demarini Clock, a raven poked its head out and asked the man and the snake:
“I have plenty of time to wait for you here, but some things on the timeline will change, such as the existence of certain gods may be erased as a result.”

Milo flipped himself inside the clock.

Igor took a pot of purple drink from the table under the altar and then flipped himself inside the clock.

...

From the outside, the space inside the Demarini Clock is only large enough to accommodate about three living people huddled together.

But once Milo landed inside, he discovered that it was winter.

This is a kind of small world.

While it may not yet reach the level of a world-class villa, it at least has the space of a three-story villa.

The interior has been transformed into a private monastery, complete with rooms for living, reading, experimentation, and other functions.

...

"Why?"

As soon as Milo entered the Clock Space and was touched by the soft, holy light there, he immediately felt uncomfortable.

The reason he was unhappy was simple: he was unhappy because the raven was having too much fun.

In terms of the degree of aversion, Milo's malice towards Raven even exceeds his hostility towards Klaue. Since Klaue, whose level of hatred is relatively low, was still tricked into doing hard labor in the abyss by Milo, there is no reason for Raven to live such a comfortable life.

Igor was the first to notice the change in Milo's aura: "Your eyes are filled with jealousy, is it because this clock space has some kind of bewitching effect?" Milo glanced at Igor coldly: "Don't ask me that."

Igor's snakeskin twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

Everyone says that the Father of the Serpents is violent and capricious, but in Igor's opinion, the Shadow before him seems to fit this character description better. His only problem is that he lacks the sanity-destroying appearance of a half-serpent, half-human creature.

...

The monastery inside the clock space is very similar in scale to the church monastery in the waking world of my memory, except that it lacks the golden tree sculpture shrine, and is empty.

That makes sense, though. The Monsis school was a branch that had long since broken away from the Golden Rule Church. The academic content it followed was no longer confined to a single deity. Arrogance was the creed of the Monsis scholars. They emphasized mastering the language, writing, knowledge, and even the thought of the deity.

Then, in response, the system was set to control the deities.

However, the leap between the first and second halves of Raven's life is so great that everything before our eyes seems a little unreal.

No one knows what he did during the time he disappeared in between. Milo only knows that Raven somehow got hold of a golden tree seed.

Igor: "You look like you're up to causing trouble."

As he spoke, he moved the pot of purple drink he was holding further back.

Milo casually found a spot to sit in the monastery, propped his boots up on the seat in front of him, and stretched lazily, ignoring Igor's rambling.

Before they made contact, the old snake-man was a mysterious and renowned figure. However, as they gradually became acquainted, he revealed his true nature as a talkative old man. Not only did he lose all his majesty, but the oppressive aura of a superior also vanished. Even the eccentricity unique to snake-men was nowhere to be seen.

"It will take about three weeks to sail."

Raven removed his black cloak, circled the monastery, paused at several empty spaces, offered brief, hushed greetings, and then turned back to his study, addressing Milo and Igor within the monastery:
"Apart from the location of the clock's core, you may freely enter and exit any other place. Please feel free to do as you please."

After saying that, he went into the study and closed the door.

Milo calmly got up and followed Raven into the study.

Igor had no interest in reading, so he stayed in the monastery, chugging down the drinks he had brought with him.

Before long, Milo came out of the study, carrying a "brand new" copy of the Necronomicon, which was the second required book he had been missing.

The Book of Ibon was Milo's first essential text and his introductory text to the study of the mystical.

And the book that guided the raven was the Necronomicon.

These two most mysterious and profound books in the history of human civilization led two weak mortals down the path of slaughtering gods.

To Milo's slight surprise, Raven generously lent him the Necronomicon.

Moreover, this newly compiled book looks like it was just printed, with the cover having been bound only recently.

Milo thought that either Raven had rewritten it himself, or it was something he had brought back from another era, just like the seeds of the Golden Tree he had brought back…

……

The core room of the Demarini clock.

Countless intersecting metal gears converge on the ceiling to form a spectacular and orderly scene.

The crisp sound of machinery echoed in the room, each beat seeming to strike the heart with perfect precision, stirring ripples of memories.

From the window, you can see the clock face and the slowly turning hands of the clock.

Beyond the glass above the pointer lies the vast and boundless universe.

The clock is currently traveling among the stars.

How brilliantly those stars, which were seen as dangerous and hostile by the creatures of the Dreamlands, shone at this moment.
