The Abyss does not keep track of time, but Milton Cheney could still sense the ceaseless passage of time, albeit indistinctly.
Since the last time he sensed that streak of energy in the Demon Mother River,
Milton had never again encountered a similar situation.
It was as if his initial perception was nothing but an illusion.
However, Milton was certain that it was not an illusion, for he had genuinely felt that energy stream merge into his demonic body.
"The perception from before seems to have indeed been just a chance occurrence,"
he mused to himself within the Demon Mother River.
Milton knew well that time would verify everything.
Despite much time having passed, Milton had not slackened his vigilance in sensing his surroundings; unfortunately, he had not perceived the energy stream a second time.
Now, Milton was fairly certain that what he had felt before was an extremely improbable event,
not even enough to be called a variable.
