Chapter 788: March of Fate
Fate is not forever unaware of dramatic effects and climactic scenes.
It's just that for the actors who perform this stage play, it is too heavy, and one of the great sorrows of life is precisely that when they can't clearly understand the world, they completely change their fate because of ignorant actions. It can be seen that fate seems to be malicious towards all intelligent beings.
Maybe it's the abuse that manifests itself in the material plane, such as disasters, such as diseases. Sometimes it is hidden in the depths of people's hearts, a kind of spiritual self-harm and pain. And whether it is the misfortune of fate, or the malice of the world, for those who suffer all this unilaterally-
It's all the same pathetic, and the same hopeless.
……
……
There were two small boats, adrift alone in the sea under the dark night sky.
The boat at the front was a rough man, and the other small boat next was much more crowded, and the boats were full of beautiful girls with different postures. The two ships were about twenty meters apart from each other, pulled together by a rope of very strange material, and neither of the two ships was powered.
That is, no sails, no engines, no turbines, and even no one paddling......
—but it was so strange, unreasonable, and incomprehensible that they had been moving straight and fast, cutting through the dark ocean and dragging a long trail on the vast expanse of the night ocean.
But the people on both ships were equally silent, I don't know if they didn't speak now or if they hadn't spoken for a long time, they just went with the flow, staring at the lonely meeting of heaven and earth in front of them, and the endless sea on the other side.
The moon casts a sparkling reflection on the water, and the starry spectacle is reflected in the dark sea, and the blackened sea is also a wave of waves, like a blend of light that is indistinguishable...... In the abyss of night, the ship sailed alone in places they could not see or understand.
In the treacherous darkness of the night, when sailing alone on the dark ocean, no one can retain even a little sense of security, because it is too luxurious. One of the most important gifts that humans have evolved over millions of years is that they have developed an immensely strong bond with Mother Earth, and only by keeping their feet on the ground can they truly feel secure.
And the unpredictable oceans, the waves as always, the fleeting ripples and the waves of droplets are not the objects of this ranks. To be precise, even if many people do not have a phobia of deep water, in such a world with the background of the Cthulhu Mythos, they will inevitably suffer from this strange phobia, perhaps far more than one-
As it was now, it had been more than half the night since they set out from the Canaanite coastline. For now, it should belong to the time period of three or four o'clock in the morning, which is not a long journey, but it really consumes a lot of their mental energy.
Because not only have they sailed a very long distance, but even the underwater cities of the deep divers have already encountered twice, and it is conceivable that the battle has not diminished because of this.
The high-intensity battle, the extremely disgusting enemy, and the constant threat of the treacherous environment all made Yu Yan, Huang Quan and others feel exhausted in just half a night.
The cold sea water is like a black stain, silently spreading beyond the end of the surrounding sight, and the cold sea breeze at night, the endless sky where the stars gather, and the sea flowing with dark waves all exude a trace of terrifying loneliness. And those who know what lies beneath the bottom of the sea have to look their vigilant eyes on the treacherous waves, always on the lookout for the fear of attacking others from the waves.
Beneath the bottom of this vast and black ocean, there seems to be a stagnant abyss that cannot be reached by light, and the dirty cliffs under the water are inhabited by either terrifying big fish or hideous sea monsters!
Time passed minute by minute, and the dark and majestic canopy listened to only the sorrow of the stars firmly inlaid in it. The ancient light of the quiet stars and the bright moon shone on the dark night ocean as if it had not changed forever, but they did not know what kind of vision would happen next, and the delay of this vision made them feel even more anxious.
It is like the still scenery in the distance, as if waiting for the sign of the unspeakable existence to come, and the trance wants to lead the mind to despair......
Just as darkness is like death, light is like life.
……
I don't know when it started, but the ice and rain have begun to fall, and the sky that was already too dark has been added to the haze.
The furious sky erupted with a roar, and a downward flame flashed with dazzling lightning, and this exploding thunder reverberated between heaven and earth, seemingly shaking the entire earth and ocean!
“……!!”
The people who had been watching in a daze in front of them suddenly woke up, and then they all let out a low exclamation, and they waited until the biting chill soaked their clothes and backs, and then they reacted in hindsight, but at this time there was already a torrential rain and howling wind on the sea.
The filthy foam accumulates on the edge of the abyss, and the empty shells and dry bones that once dwelt in the tide must also gather here.
There was a nightmarish fear in the air, as if something evil had never been seen before was looming.
"I'm rubbing! What the hell is going on, is everyone in a nightmare——? ”
The gunman who woke up cursed for a long time, and then only felt a palpitation, he wiped a handful of rain that slapped directly on his face, squinted his eyes and reached out to grab the sides of the ship to stabilize his body, "Our luck seems to be good this time, the target we may be looking for is not far ahead-"
It was as if a big hole had been torn open in the sky, and the pouring rain struck this dark and lightless night ocean violently!
But even now the rain curtain is like a curtain, and the sky and the earth are hazy and they can't see anything clearly, and even ordinary people can't open their eyes in such a violent wind and rain at all, but everyone can still feel that the endless echo of the ocean like thunder, there is a kind of life that they have never known before, and they are now close to the dark abyss of the sea where the life inhabits.
Now it can be said that they have stopped at the ancient secret, which is so close to the place where they and others are, and it is already looming on the edge of their cognition.
The black waves were churning, and there seemed to be a strange anomaly on the horizon in the distance......
……
……
Far away in the void of no reason, the demon gave birth to me.
Through the bright clusters of visible space, until neither time nor matter stretched out before me, only chaos, no form and no dwelling.
The Lord of All here muttered to himself in the darkness of what He had dreamed of but could not understand, and beside Him there was an invisible bat-like being, fluttering and playing the flute in the vortex of foolishness stirred up by the stream of rays. They danced wildly to the high-pitched, weak wail of a broken flute in a strange claw.
From here flow aimless fluctuations, and their fortuitous combination brings to each fragile universe its eternal laws.
"I am His Messenger."
- Yay! The father of the millions of favored ones who dwell in the ultimate abyss, the great messenger, the one who crosses the void to bring wonderful pleasure to Yogth, the great Nyaratotip!
……
"A journey through the void...... But it is difficult to cross the light of the universe...... The name of the Divine Stone reshapes the body...... Help him step out of the Black Shine Demon Abyss......"
In an environment with a faint amount of light, the Night Demon could not last more than a few seconds even in the form of an avatar, let alone a naturally lit environment. But that's enough. At least Naiako, who was holding her knees and panting, finally saw the scenery at the end of the distant sky with an infinite and transcendent perspective by virtue of the leap of the moment before-
A pale light appeared in the sky ahead, a huge rugged cone-shaped mountain obscuring half of the northern sky, and a lighthouse radiating a pale and evil light shone high above.
Truth be told, the horrific sight far surpassed all the mountains and other things on earth, even touching the vacuum aether of the mysterious moon and the spinning motion of the crazy planets.
No other mountain as man knew of it towered so gloomily at the end of the sky, and even the high clouds below were only around the edge of its foothills, and the dizzying top air was nothing more than a tie around its waist. It contemptuously and ghostly builds a bridge between the earthly and the heavenly, towering black over the eternal night of the north.
"Finally, finally...... I've found you—" The silver-haired girl gasped, raised a small fist, and gritted her teeth.
Unlike Yu Yan and others, who are fighting to the death in the ocean at night, with the storm, the stormy waves, and the huge monsters that emerge from the waves, Naiako is no longer in any area of the earth in reality. She is now located in the realm of the legendary Dream Realm-
It is a space made up of the subconscious mind and imagination, parallel to the earth.
Because it is a place of dreams, there is a huge gap between the physical laws and reality, and here dreams are real.
This is a very strange place, its existence is between the nature of mental space and subspace, and because it is a parallel space made up of the human subconscious, it is very unscientific in some sense. For example, in it, humans can communicate with each other regardless of language, all they need to get to the moon is a sea ship, the earth is flat, and the way of life is still medieval...... And so on and so forth.
The creatures here are also terrifying.
For example, the Moon Beast, which has the ability to build huge, interstellar black warships.
For example, it has the ability to jump in space and can jump to the surface of the moon at any time...... Cat.
There are even a large number of Earth Genshin Gods who have settled and moved in the Dream Realm. The outer gods are indeed very vigilant in watching over these gentle and weak gods in the earthly world. While they do not have the power to dominate the ghouls and Dire of the Dreamland, the blasphemous beings who exist in outer space, have no mind or a fixed shape, and are able to control the actions of their allies when necessary.
Overall, it's a dreamlike dream with a fantastical tinge. However, it is also relatively dangerous, at least ordinary people may not be able to survive a day if they fall into a dream. However, although there are many ways to lead to the dream realm, most of them are some incredible ideas for ordinary people, so the probability is not high......
Even Nayako had to work hard to enter this strange world, and if she continued to fail, she would even need to consider asking her 'teacher' for help......
The terrible darkness took over the infinite depths and heights of the northern frontier, and only the pale and shining lighthouse still stood at the top of the unreachable sight.
And at the top of the most majestic mountain stood a castle that surpassed all mortal imagination, and in Naiako's vision that surpassed the limits of human imagination, a demonic abomination light shone from that castle. - This is the end of Naiako's journey, the incredible 'home' of the dream gods at the top of the unknown Kardas.
But the earthly gods were no longer there, and there were only something more subtle and imperceptible.
Because the gentle gods have left the top of Kardas, and those who do not want to leave are no longer here, it is estimated that the same will not continue to exist anywhere else. But the silver-haired god maiden was sure that there was still something hidden in the onyx castle, which was more majestic than all the castles in the world.
Because, that was originally her goal this time - the messenger of the outer gods in this universe, the so-called true body of Nyaratotip.
This matter is not too difficult to understand, just like the advice of the Lord of Billions of Radiance, Naiako has been searching for the incarnations of Nyaratotip that haunts the various regions of the earth, and deprives them of their power and symbol by directly killing them.
And as her teacher said, this kind of thing is more difficult only for the first few times, and the later it is, the easier it is. Because every time she kills an incarnation of Nyaratotip, she can deprive her of its power and symbol to strengthen herself, so Naiazi is getting stronger and stronger the more she kills, but those incarnations of Nyaratotip will not fluctuate in strength for no reason.
Perhaps because of the same origin, when Naiko absorbed the power and symbols of those hideous incarnations, there was no waste, and there were no unsuitable 'impurities' part. Because she is Nyarrathotep, and her nature is chaos rather than purity, so all those powers and symbols are 100% used by her.
Coupled with the fact that each of Nyaratotip's avatars existed independently, the chaotic outer god didn't even notice it.
By the time he found out, it was already difficult to return—in the chaotic mist of faceless darkness, nineteen incarnate forms had evolved into Naiazi, both in terms of physical and mental structure, and they were infinitely close to the existence form of Naiarathotep.
The nature of power and the symbol of chaos are almost the same - according to her teacher, this is the perfect time for her to replace the wriggling chaos of this universe, and the first step for her to become one of the three pillars of the true multiverse negative abyss, and all her previous actions have only been in preparation for this step.
Now, the silver-haired Evil God Maiden is preparing to perform the final step of killing Nyaratotip in this universe.
However, the other party is not a restrained character, although the two sides have not met head-on once so far, but after some kind of power that dominates time and space suppresses and binds him to the earth, and cannot leave, Nyarlathotep immediately became vigilant. He hid in the dream almost immediately, and has been delaying his death until now.
- This wave of forcible life extension is simply ruthless, and Naiako has to empty several places in succession before discovering his true traces.
However, it was finally time for the final showdown.
Unable to break free from the terrifying gravity that could penetrate multiple dimensions from the depths of infinite time and space, Nayarathotep could not leave Earth, could only hide in the dream realm, and even in order to buy himself more time to cope with the current inexplicable situation, he did not hesitate to block the information and kill all the earthly gods in the dream realm.
But until now, it was still found by Naiako.
"I'd like to see what Mr. Yogg is hiding...... No matter how you look at it, it's not right. ”
With a long exhale, the silver-haired girl walked resolutely towards the north. The power that grows rapidly without any side effects and sequelae can be said to be the way of growth like an evil god, which is very much in line with her god-like character, and to such an extent - the realm of the peak of perfection under the forbidden realm, she has also vaguely sensed the existence of something in the underworld.
That is the cause and effect trajectory of thousands of living beings, the countless threads of fate, and that is the fate of all things.
And the countless karmic trajectories and threads of fate seem to envelop all the living beings in the world, weaving into a huge 'net', in which the greater the influence of existence itself on the world, every move can affect and interfere with the fate of countless living beings.
Nayako herself is like this, but the most important thing is-
Like the threads of countless threads, the densest and most critical part of this web called fate is actually his own teacher......
……
……
"Tsk, I knew I couldn't hide it for long-"
Passing through the chaotic darkness of the endless void that seemed to have consciousness, the young man in the black wizard robe was like a dark god or a fallen archangel, and in his indifferent tone, it was as if the ultimate void around him had ripples.
He walked alone through the abyss of eternal night, which seemed to be never-ending, but in the depths of his eyes there was a reflection of a scene that did not belong to this dark void: it was in a castle that was infinitely huge to the point of almost evil and terrifying, and whoever it was, was like an ant climbing on the steps of the tallest castle on earth.
Two of these indescribable beings were fighting each other on the top of a towering black mountain, a huge city gate, a towering wall, and countless domed towers...... In the aftermath of the battle, they collapsed and turned into ashes. One is a blasphemous existence with no fixed shape, or a terrifying existence with an infinite body, which belongs to the souls and messengers of the outer gods.
The other is a petite girl, with long hair that shimmers with a silver clear light and seems to be transparent, wearing a black and white plaid skirt maid outfit, holding an indescribable rod, but there is a faceless dark fog around her body, and in the chaotic and miserable fog, there are nineteen incarnation forms of hideous and terrifying images.
Add to that the counterbalance of the abominable essence of canceling each other, the chaotic symbolism of taboos, and the two sides are on par.
The boy watched the scene until he broke out of the darkness.
Tens of millions of years have passed in a flash, the universe has died and then been reborn, the stars have become nebulae, and nebulae have become stars—
It was as if the universe and time were roaring past him, repeating the past historical time, but he seemed to be accustomed to such changes, and quietly passed through the center of chaos to his destination.
"You're here? Are you ready? ”
Just now through the center of the chaos, the destructive power of no definite body is tumbling, and the endless void composed of the exact sentient darkness quickly converges into a humanoid phantom, and in the process, there are faint layers of countless light and shadow images floating by—
The outermost cycle of the universe tumbles into another completely meaningless end, and then everything becomes the same again as it was eons ago, and both things and light are reborn as the universe once was...... In the end, all this light and darkness, infinite matter and energy, eternal time and void converged into the appearance of a teenager.
The next moment, a slightly excited voice came from the side.
