Chapter 990 Historical Similarities

"The universe has never needed any ultimate decisive battle."

"Gods may perish, and order may change, but the origin of the universe will not be altered."

Raven calmly walked toward the massive, broken building.

Everything is just a dream of that great being, who is the so-called origin. Everything in the dream is dispensable. When He wakes up, the dream disappears without a trace, and when He falls asleep again, a new world will unfold once more.

This is why all those who have grasped the true meaning of the universe strive to cross the river for Azati.

Conflict, death, birth, victory, scheming, and defeat—all are meaningless to the ultimate rulers. Emotions and humanity are also discarded. Once it is certain that everything will eventually perish, gods are not much different from the lowest of the low; they are all just waiting to die. Infinite life and finite life reach a balance at this moment.

...

Milo and Igor exchanged a glance. The latter resolutely walked toward Idhra's dream, while Milo hesitated for a moment.

Because, after the raven explained the situation, he felt he had lost the desire to explore.

Clearly, Milo has already accomplished what the Outer Gods dreamed of: creating a new world and a new universe with the power of Azadi.

He no longer needs to get involved in these meaningless disputes and increase the risks for the people he cares about.

During the Blood Moon War, Milo, who had been annihilated once, had already resonated with Azati in the conscious world. That resonance was not a one-time thing; after creating the Tombstone Dream and using it to replace and reverse reality, that resonance still existed.

Meanwhile, on the North Continent, the Spider God, also seeking to create a new universe, provided Milo with ample inspiration and elements.

He went astray.

He looked towards the dream of the greatest being, Azathoth, to create a physical universe. Even if the Spider God succeeded, his young universe would perish the day Azathoth awoke.

Only Hybrid, which Milo now controls, exists independently of the Dream of Azathoth.

...

The two people walking in front suddenly turned around and looked at Milo, who had stopped in his tracks.

Milo shrugs:

"Didn't you notice how many eyes were watching this place?"

The three of them were currently in outer space, so the "eyes" he was referring to were the Outer Gods.

The gods of dreams guard Azati in the dream world, while Sos is another Azati. After the Outer Gods devoured Azati, how could they possibly abandon the remaining part?

In fact, from the moment the Raven's Clock descended over Soth, countless eyes were focused on the three of them.

Before the raven could respond to Milo's question, a cloaked figure appeared on the desolate plain in the distance, standing there like a fortress, as if it had been waiting for countless years.

They didn't even realize when the figure appeared.

The cloak covering the other person was yellow.

...

click-

The crisp sound of a gun bolt being pulled back echoed in the air.

Milo then sensed that his brow was locked by some extremely dangerous weapon, emanating from the yellow-clad figure.

Igor and Raven paused, their gazes simultaneously turning to the figure.

Milo then spread his hands again and asked in a very relaxed tone:

"Even at this level, you still can't forget that broken gun?"

The other party calmly put away his weapon, and then an extremely loud, smoky voice came from under the yellow cloak: "It's better than being like you, carrying that rusty piece of junk everywhere you go."

Milo subconsciously glanced down at the crowbar hanging at his waist and muttered to himself:

"It really is time to polish it."

Then he looked up at the figure in yellow and asked:
"I thought you would wait until the next time a fight breaks out here before rushing out to save the day, like last time."

The man in yellow emerged from the misty ruins, swaying his head as he walked.

"There will be no more wars, don't you understand?"

He took off his hood, revealing a slightly aged human face.

It was almost exactly the same as when they first met. Back then, he was the head of the criminal investigation team at the law enforcement agency, and Milo was a newbie.

Later, old Theon disappeared.

He didn't reappear until the Blood Moon, and under the Blood Moon, he was already the "most capable fighter in Nanwei City and the surrounding area" in Yan's words.

...

"I don't know."

Milo shook his head.

"War and death have no meaning for the gods nowadays."

Old Theon, holding the Whitworth rifle whose design had undergone a complete transformation, pointed it in several directions towards the starry sky.

"This, this, and this, they only dare to watch, not to make a move. Your thinking is still stuck in fighting and killing, it's a bit too primitive."

“It’s hard to believe you’d say that.” Milo glanced at the rifle slung over old Theon’s shoulder, making no attempt to hide the disdain in his eyes.

Theon: "There was supposed to be a great war, I mean, a war in the normal course of time, but the course was disrupted, you know what I mean."

Milo: "I understand."

Old Theon: "Because of you and your friends, the appearance of countless abyssal rifts, and the meddling of that guy with a thousand faces, the original course of history has been disrupted. Now, the war that involved all the gods, inside and outside, is no longer necessary. No god will waste their power on a meaningless war before the universe is about to be overturned."

Milo: "So?"

In his view, whether they are the gods of dreams or the outer gods, they will eventually choose to fight each other if there is enough benefit to be had.

For example, if they were to extract even a tiny bit of Azati's power from Idhaila's dream, then all the things that were supposed to come would appear in droves.

Even before Azadi had revealed a single bit of his power, old Theon had already arrived, hadn't he?
Due to his status, he could coexist with Milo as an Old One or an Outer God, but other gods were less likely to do so. Without a clear incentive, they would not easily appear before that shadow.

...

"What do you think Idhaila's dream would be like?"

Milo glanced at old Theon.

Old Sean shrugged listlessly:

"What Sos looked like before it collapsed."

To put it bluntly, the other end of this broken entrance is actually the dream of Idhra's tombstone, which is similar to the thing that Milo created in the waking world.

This is also why Milo was unwilling to go in.

That's how he tricked the gods of dreams into the abyss back then.
