Chapter 2: The Tomb of Azathoth

When Chu Cheng's memory reached this point, there was a serious fault......

Chu Cheng vaguely remembered that he led his task force into the so-called "Tomb of Azathoth", which was a huge labyrinth-like underground ruins.

Due to the complexity of the environment inside the ruins, the task force quickly lost its way in it, and that wasn't the most terrifying of all.

Chu Cheng's task force soon discovered that the physical laws in this labyrinth were ...... It's completely different from the world outside the labyrinth!

Here, the boundaries between reality and fantasy, between materialism and idealism, seem to have been broken.

Any weird and grotesque idea can be directly embodied in this labyrinth!

The human heart is one of the most terrible places in the world!

When the negative distortions buried deep in people's hearts are manifested in large quantities, the horror of their evil deeds and evil appearances is simply indescribable in words!

If I had to describe it, it would be as if I had gone from reality to a nightmare, and it was the most grotesque, distorted, and illogical nightmare!

Chu Cheng led the task force under his command to struggle in this hellish nightmare, but the team members around him still died one after another.

What's even more chilling is that these people are not directly dead, but assimilated into a part of the twisted and grotesque, which is simply a horror ending even worse than death!

Perhaps it was the luck of the underworld that protected Chu Cheng from the hands of those grotesque embodied objects. He led his survivors to a majestic temple in the center of the labyrinth. In the depths of the temple, they found a massive ...... Coffin!

The coffin of Azathoth!

At that time, Chu Cheng and the others had been driven to the brink of despair. In order to find a way out of the labyrinth, in order to find Yui's whereabouts. He joined forces with the few remaining task forces...... Open the coffin!

Although the memory after that has been seriously broken, the fear that transcends death is forever imprinted in Chu Cheng's soul!

The moment the coffin opened, everything in the entire temple directly turned into chaos. All of the Task Force present were in a strange state where they were not even particles, neither alive nor dead; That is, it does not exist and it does not exist.

Only Chu Cheng, under the protection of some unknown force, glanced at the ...... in the coffin An indescribable sight!

That's something far beyond the limits of human imagination!

That's bigger than infinity!

Is that...... A whole multiverse!

Chu Cheng's memories of his previous life came to an abrupt end. I have to say that it is a miracle that he can keep these fragments of memory.

"So, at that time, it was Yui's ring...... Did you shelter me? The "rumbling" sound of the battleship in the distance forcibly pulled Chu Cheng's thoughts back to reality.

Only then did Chu Cheng realize that his clothes had already been soaked with sweat, and whenever he recalled everything in the labyrinth, he felt as if he had experienced a nightmare.

Although it has been the nineteenth year since he came to this world, Chu Cheng still can't believe that he ...... Able to survive such an event.

Chu Cheng knew very well what he saw in the coffin of 'Azathoth', and he knew even more about the impact it would have on his life.

Just like the task forces who disappeared in the first place, when the information beyond the limits of life cognition explodes trillions of times, any living beings in this flood of information, their bodies, souls, and even their own concepts of existence will be completely destroyed, and as a result, the traces of the existence of these lives will be completely erased, because they never existed.

But he survived, or rather, his soul survived and crossed into this world!

This also convinced Chu Cheng that there must be a big secret behind his crossing into this world.

The thunderous sound overhead came from far and near, and a small floating battleship slowly descended, and suddenly black imperial soldiers poured out of the ship's cabin, surrounding the entire small square.

The villagers let out a frightened whimper and huddled together tremblingly, and around them were the muzzles of the black holes in the hands of the Imperial soldiers.

"Is your village's share in the past half a year only a little bit?" An Imperial officer in tall military boots walked slowly to the center of the square, kicked the box in the center of the square, and casually fished out a bloodshot crystal from the box, and roared with a gloomy face.

The ferocious appearance made many villagers shudder, and their cloudy eyes were full of horror.

"It's too dangerous underground! Many of the young men in the village died underground. We...... I can't hand over more. Seeing the Imperial officer roaring angrily, the village chief quickly stood up tremblingly, rubbing his hands together incessantly, and said in a pleading tone.

But before he could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by the officer.

"You maggot-like pariahs, what qualifications do you have to enjoy the protection of the empire for nothing." The officer shook the dust off his trouser leg and said viciously.

He looked at the crowd as if he were looking at a herd of animals waiting to be slaughtered.

With a wave of his hand, the imperial soldiers on standby next to him immediately swarmed up.

In the face of the ferocious Imperial soldiers, the crowd suddenly let out a scream of terror, but no one dared to resist at all.

Everyone curled up desperately, trying to squeeze their bodies into the depths of the crowd.

The small square was in chaos, with people being dragged away by Imperial soldiers, and screams and shouts of killing were everywhere.

Compared with the panicked villagers, Chu Cheng never moved. Immediately, a tall imperial soldier stared at Chu Cheng, and his tower-like body strode towards Chu Cheng.

However, just as the soldier's arm was about to grab Chu Cheng, his ankle suddenly slumped to the side. The soldier's body stumbled, just as he hit a fleeing villager.

Annoyed, the soldier immediately grabbed the villager by the hair and dragged him to the middle of the small square.

The arrest was still going on, and Chu Cheng never moved from beginning to end. However, everyone seemed to ignore his existence, and even if an imperial soldier occasionally targeted Chu Cheng, he would change his target for inexplicable reasons.

"Sure enough, that luck in the dark is still sheltering me." Chu Cheng muttered in a low voice, and subconsciously rubbed his fingers. It's just that his index finger is empty at the moment.

Ever since his soul pierced into this world, Yui's ring had disappeared, leaving him with nothing but the abnormal luck.

"Yui's ring, it can't be integrated into my body, right?" Chu Cheng had a faint guess in his heart, and all the signs so far showed that his crossing was by no means that simple.

While Chu Cheng was thinking, the imperial soldiers also completed the capture, and a total of fifty village names were caught by them in the center of the small square.
