Chapter 59: The Great Cthulhu
"Well, has Dagon on the sea been wiped out by us?"
In a corner, the president looked at the staff gathered around him and asked quite seriously.
"Mr. President, this matter is a bit complicated... We probably didn't kill this monster directly. ”
An elderly general in a black navy uniform pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "The situation at that time was a bit complicated, after the nuclear strike, that monster did not die, but.... Still standing there. ”
"Standing there?"
The president frowned, looked at the senile admiral from the Navy, and asked, "What is his state, injured or not affected?"
If Dagon is injured, it's okay, but if it doesn't have any effect, then it's a big problem.
"I don't know, we don't have any references, but he did not continue to attack the Nimitz, but stood there quietly for about twenty minutes before disappearing. ”
"Huh, he's afraid of our force?"
"Not necessarily, he didn't seem to have any effect when he left, and according to the Nimitz survivors' descriptions, he seemed... It's stronger than ever. ”
Looking at the tall admiral in front of him, Tetang took a deep breath: if it weren't for the fact that the other side was too strong, he would have wanted to slap him.
What the hell?
Is He hurt or not, and are our weapons a deterrent to Him?
In this regard, the president only wants to cut the military spending of the Navy at the next Congress.
After ten thousand thoughts rose in his heart, he finally returned to reality: "Forget it, what about our losses?"
"Uh... We lost two Burke-class destroyers, a Perry-class frigate, a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, and more than five thousand soldiers suffered casualties... Thankfully, our USS Nimitz aircraft carrier gradually suffered only minor damage and did not affect its use. ”
"Also, our rescue team has rescued the commander of the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, Rear Admiral Bell, who took refuge in a strategic shelter before the nuclear strike. ”
Hearing this report, the president suddenly remembered something and asked nervously: "How is the nuclear radiation problem, is it serious?"
Hearing him ask like this, the admiral hesitated for a moment, then said in a tone that he didn't believe himself: "Sir, you may not believe it when you say it... The nuclear radiation on the surface of the sea is very weak, similar to the nuclear radiation near our nuclear power station, and it will dissipate in about four or five days. ”
"The radiation near the nuclear power plant is about the same, isn't that harmless to the human body?"
Tetang frowned and said, "When did the military develop such a powerful nuclear weapon, why didn't I receive the relevant report?"
The admiral was also unsure: "Mr. President, according to our several experiments, although we have been able to effectively control nuclear radiation, ... But there is still a little bit of an effect, and there has never been a little radiation effect like this one. ”
"Prepare a radiation determination report for the nearby waters, and we need to use it to explain to the media. ”
With that, he sat down in a chair, resting his right hand on his forehead, feeling a little tired.
At the very moment when they launched their nuclear weapons, the eyes of the whole world were focused on him.
The inquiries from various countries gave him a headache.
I don't know how to reply.
We launched nuclear weapons to fight a god called Dagon?
As a result, Dagon didn't die, it looked like nothing was wrong, and then he himself retreated inexplicably?
"Alas. ”
Tetang let out a long sigh, but the next moment, his secretary quickly came to his side and said to him, "Sir, the New York State Government has sent a message that the Church of the Eternal Night has announced that it is responsible for what happened in the sea. ”
"The Church of the Eternal Night, what are they responsible for?"
He was a little puzzled: "Surely Dagon is what they believe in... What is the Lord of the Night?"
How is it possible, one is a god that I have only recently heard about, and the other is a god that has always existed in history, how can the two of them be one god?
The secretary also hesitated for a moment and said, "No... The bishop of the Church of Eternal Night said that the repulsion of Dagon's... It is their Sovereign Lord, the great Lord of the Night. ”
Hearing this, fell silent.
After a long sigh, he spoke to the secretary, "Please talk to this bishop of the Church of the Eternal Night, I want to know more." ”
"Okay, please wait, Mr. President. ”
A few minutes later, a tablet appeared in front of him, and the next moment, Apaid's calm face appeared on the tablet.
"Hello friend, you should know who I am. ”
He introduced himself briefly: "I know you, Mr. Epide, the most faithful follower of the Lord of the Eternal Night, one of the great apostles, the Archbishop of the Church of the Eternal Night. ”
Apaid's expression was quite calm, and after listening to the words quietly, he replied lightly: "No, sir, I am not the archbishop, the archbishop has someone else, I am just conveying the will of the Lord on my behalf." ”
"Well, it doesn't matter. ”
Tetang waved his hand, signaling that he had said the wrong thing: "Mr. Epside, could you please elaborate on what happened in the seas... What the hell is going on?"
"You are hunting down the apostle of the ancient god Dagon, and thus angering Dagon, who sent his own subordinates to the rescue, and the aircraft carrier of the United States obviously did not take this crown in his eyes..."
"Your nuclear strike will not harm the gods, they will only anger them. ”
Listening to what Apaid said, Tetang didn't say anything, just looked like he was waiting to listen.
Seeing this, Apaid continued to speak: "My lord is merciful and cares for all things, and he can't bear to suffer a catastrophe in the rice country, so he pulls Dagon into the realm of illusions, calms Dagon's anger, and allows him to return to Lalaye and continue to serve the unspeakable being. ”
Tetang seemed to have caught a blind spot: "Huh, serving an indescribable being?"
"Yes, the indescribable greatness. ”
Apaid nodded heavily: "Unnameable, unspeakable, irregular." ”
He had no joys or sorrows, no believers, only Dagon and Hydra qualified to serve at His side. ”
"When a mortal looks at Him, he goes mad because he sees a corner of the truth of the universe, and when He looks at a mortal, he falls into utter despair. ”
"He was... Who?"
For some reason, a trace suddenly appeared in Tetang's heart... Fluster.
"The great Lord of Lalaye, there are no rules for His name, we can only call Him by transliteration... The Great Cthulhu. ”
