After the sudden glare from before, the Southern Hemisphere was once again shrouded in darkness of night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info A full moon hangs high in the night sky, as if silently mocking the humans living below.

Even days after the Corrosion Star Event, many parts of the Southern Hemisphere are still in a state of chaos, with all but hospitals and other facilities closed, and schools locked down.

This is despite repeated attempts by the governments of these countries to calm the mood and restore normal order to society through news reports. There are still many people who are afraid to leave their homes and live on the large amount of food that they have bought wildly. What's more, they directly sealed the door from the inside, turning their home into a makeshift fortress.

After witnessing the unbelievable, completely contrary to their perceptions, the sanity of these people has long been reduced to the point of collapse. There are not a few poor people who have witnessed their families being corroded by the purple liquid and have lost their bones, and who have gone completely insane. No matter what happens next, they will not be able to return to the "normal" of the past.

World Order...... It's starting to crash.

But even if they hid in the house, a strong sense of curiosity and fear drove these residents to frantically gather information about the last incident.

――What exactly is that planet?

What was the light in the sky after the planet collapsed and disappeared?

It is rumored that someone has witnessed "angels and demons", is it true or false?

Tonight, before the inhabitants of the southern hemisphere could figure out the answers to these questions, they were once again witnessing an astonishing scene they had never seen in their lives.

The full moon hanging high in the night sky shifted a large distance as if it were teleporting, and due to the angle of light, the original full moon was forcibly turned into a crescent moon.

“……”

After witnessing the sudden and drastic movement of the moon, the world, which had begun to restore order slightly, fell into a panic again.

Fortunately, it is precisely because of the current light problem that most of the Moon is in shadow, and many people do not notice that in that shadow an even more striking change has occurred:

"......"

Seeing that the outer shell of the moon around him began to slowly open, even Zhang Luo showed a rare expression of disbelief in surprise. After all, such a picture, even for him, is a little too exciting......

Beneath the crust of the potholed gray rock, there is a dark green layer of metal that looks like it has been corroded, but it is not completely rotten. After the outer shell of the moon was opened, the true appearance hidden in it finally appeared in front of Zhang Luo's eyes:

It was a complete "nothingness".

Although there was nothing beneath the round metal shell, there was an eerie cold aura, and it was precisely because there was nothing in it that it was all the more frightening, because-

Even standing on the outside, Zhang Luo could still feel that in the seemingly empty space inside the moon, there was an incomparably huge "wormhole" entrance.

I can't see it, but once I go in, I can't come back.

Neither the gods nor demons, nor the chaotic evil gods from the universe, could escape the shackles of that invisible cave.

Whatever it is, it is undoubtedly the largest and most powerful "sealing device" in the solar system!

"Don't you think about it...... Destroy me! ”

Witnessing the scene of the moon's shell slowly beginning to open, the body of the "bubble" floating in the void once again erupted with a strong light that was more than ten times brighter than a nuclear explosion. Zhang Luo's eyes, which he didn't have time to close, were burned blind in an instant, and then ...... It returned to normal after five seconds.

He knew that the "King in Yellow" standing in front of him not only helped him resist the vast majority of chaotic energy, but also provided himself with some kind of energy bonus. In the current situation, although his own strength is not yet able to match that of Yog. Sotos is on par, but it's still much stronger than before.

If there were monsters on the earth that could threaten them in the past, then now they are completely "lonely and defeated" and can't find any opponents!

The function of the Executioner's Eye has not yet recovered, but Zhang Luo has found that his "domain control" has been further improved, he can only control the space within five meters, but now he can control at least all the space within a hundred meters around him!

However, in the face of the crushing power of the two evil gods who were fighting, this ability was completely useless.

"You...... Don't think about it...... Stop me! ”

Yog, who is still resisting stubbornly. Sotos's voice had already begun to fall apart, and Zhang Luo noticed that the super light and chaotic energy emitted by this evil god had disappeared without a trace when it touched the "black hole" inside the moon, as if it had been teleported to another dimension.

No, maybe it was really teleported to another dimension.

Just when Zhang Luo was still guessing, he rushed to Yuge. The king in yellow in front of Sothos had already stretched out his tentacles to tear apart a string of "bubbles" floating in the void, and then simply and rudely threw them into an invisible black hole inside the moon:

"You're dead." The Yellow King's voice was cold, sounding like he was just doing business.

The light that was enough to burn the blinding eyes suddenly diminished a lot as Yogsothoth's body was torn apart. But this was only the beginning, and the King in Yellow did not stop, still continuing to tear open the body of the outer god with savage movements.

"Ahhh

A strange roar that Zhang Luo had never heard before, almost making his blood tremble, directly caused his seven orifices to bleed and his liver and gallbladder to break. But fortunately, under the repair of the "God-made body", his broken internal organs were restored to their original state in a few seconds.

"Damn, can't you accept your fate?" Zhang Luo shook his head helplessly.

At this point, the situation is clear to everyone present: Yog. It wasn't following the "fate" it saw that Sothos had brought Zhang Luo here. But in order to change the fate of his own demise, he thought of forcibly changing the established historical course by killing the "parties" in advance.

Unfortunately, this time, like the age of the dinosaurs, it still only changed the process of extinction, but failed to change the outcome of extinction.

-- Even if the process is deviated, its demise is still happening at this very moment.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo couldn't help but sigh, standing in the white light, and continued to watch the unornamental battle ahead:

"Even 'gods' can't resist fate?"

Zhang Luo, who is not a fatalist, actually does not believe in anything like "fate". In his view, any given outcome can be changed through hard work.

But now it seems that on this point, my previous view may have been wrong......

If Yog. Sothos was destined to perish here, so was his own destruction already doomed? Will that moment come tomorrow, or tens of thousands of years from now?

Realizing that he might also be controlled by some fate, Zhang Luo quietly clenched his fists. And at this time, the evil god war that broke out in this space was about to come to an end.

-- Yog, who was barely able to maintain his body. Sothoth, under the savage attacks of the King of the Yellow Coat, has turned into a wisp of "bubbles" floating in the darkness.

Its power has almost completely disappeared, and it is not even comparable to Kirkland, the "energy body" of the Strange Tales Research Society. And the sight that can see through everything has long since disappeared with the weakening of power.

Even the perfect observer of omniscience and sight could not change his fate, and now, the extremely weak Yog. Sotos is no longer able to maintain his body.

Almost completely destroyed Yog. The yellow-clad king of Sothos waved the tentacle on the right side of his body lightly, and the moon, which was still open, began to quickly return to its original orbit, and the shell quickly closed.

Airplanes!

The dull, loud sound of the moon's shell closing can be heard even in outer space, where the air is extremely thin. Zhang Luo, who was still standing in place and did not move, heard the extremely low voice of the king in yellow, and reappeared in his consciousness:

"It's time."

"You want me to kill it?" Zhang Luo asked.

"That's right, Yog. Sothoth's life will end at this moment, and you will absorb his power and become a new observer. A wisp of white gas wafted from under the mask of the King in Yellow: "Accept this honor, 'human', for you are none other than Yog. The fragment made by Sothoth, and the one that was more in line with Lord Azathoth's needs. ”

"Ha, I'm just something that splintered from the evil god." Zhang Luo laughed self-deprecatingly.

A few months ago, when he had just met Frankenstein and Bloody Mary and learned about his physique from "Bloody Mary", Zhang Luo had doubted whether he was really a "human".

――With the constitution of an ordinary human, it is almost impossible to absorb the ability of monsters for their own use, and even if they do it reluctantly, it is difficult for the body to withstand those tyrannical energies.

But for myself, the situation is different:

This terrifying constitution called "Collector", which can absorb the abilities of all kinds of heretical creatures, as long as it is used properly, can completely allow the user to ascend to the Divine Domain and reach a terrifying realm that no one can match!

At that time, he wondered if there were any other secrets hidden in him, and at this moment, after the king in yellow showed him the truth, the truth was finally completely clear:

- He was not originally a human being, but Yog. In order to escape death, Sothos split off from his body in a humanoid clone!

In this way, the reason why you can absorb the ability of monsters, the reason why you can summon the evil god smoothly, and the reason why the SAN value increases when facing the evil god, seems to have been there. But......

"Is that really all there is to it?" Zhang Luo lowered his head.

The King in Yellow didn't pay attention to his doubts, but continued to signal Zhang Luo to step forward and complete what he "should do".

Looking at the miserable appearance of the outer god floating in the darkness, Zhang Luo suddenly asked, "I can absorb Yog. Sotos's abilities? ”

"Of course, now it's weak enough to be contained by your body." The King in Yellow said.

"If I absorb this, I can be 'omniscient'?" Zhang Luo continued to ask questions.

"Of course." The Yellow King's voice was still low: "You will succeed Yog. Sothoth's position to become the new observer of Lord Azathoth. ”

Zhang Luo was silent again.

If he were the same as before, when he got the opportunity to be omniscient, I am afraid that he would immediately kill Yug. Sothoth, and then immediately began to use that handy ability to begin solving all the unsolved mysteries of the world.

But now, he didn't do it immediately, and still stayed in the dark space like a sculpture, thinking about what he should do next.

Kill Yog. Sotos, who has gained the ability to see all and becomes a new generation of "observers", sounds like a beauty that is hard to refuse.

But is that really good?

――Do you really want to follow the will of the evil god and abandon the little human part that is left in the first place, and become a complete evil god?

Zhang Luo, who has always disliked being manipulated by others, has a sense of powerlessness like a "marionette" at this time. He knew that if he really killed Yog. Sothos, if he lets "fate" follow the track, he may also be able to communicate with Yog one day in the future. Sotos, like him, died in an irreversible "fate". And......

"What's the fun of being all-knowing if you're really omniscient?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Now that I think about it, the reason why I am keen to explore various places and pursue local supernatural legends is not simply to solve mysteries, but also to experience them.

Even after becoming the leader of the Strange Tales Research Society, he still rushed to the front in person, instead of hiding in the base and waiting for his subordinates to report on their mission reports like common leaders.

The reason why this is the case is also inseparable from his philosophy:

Unlike "normal people", Zhang Luo pays more attention to the process than the result, and for him, the process of adventure itself is also an important part of fun.

Then the problem is, after gaining the ability to know and see all, this pleasure of exploring the unknown may disappear completely......

Zhang Luo couldn't contain his curiosity at all, and he couldn't do the ability to seal it permanently. He knew that when he became an all-knowing god, he would immediately answer all the mysteries of the world. And then...... Maybe you will die of boredom.

"Forget it." He whispered.

"Please, do it now, Yog. Sothos is regaining strength. The voice of the king in yellow interrupted Zhang Luo's thoughts.

"Okay." Zhang Luo said and floated in front of the "bubble" not far away. Sotos couldn't run away for a long time, and he couldn't even make a sound, just a gray glow, and he didn't know what emotion he was expressing.

Zhang Luo knew that as long as he reached out and touched the "bubble" that was close to death, he could obtain Yog. Sothoth's ability to become a new evil god. But-

Looking at the broken "bubbles" flowing around him, Zhang Luo suddenly concentrated his mind and looked at Yog. Sothos emitted a faint signal of consciousness that only the two of them could hear:

"I can get you out of here and reverse this damn 'fate,' but you're going to do as I say." (To be continued.) )
