In the light of a huge cavern, Orochimaru was standing in front of the operating table, his hands quickly switching between various surgical tools.

Suddenly, the movement of Orochimaru's hand stopped abruptly, turned to look at the darkness in the distance, and said, "Come out." ”

In the darkness in the distance, a slightly shorter figure stood out from the side of the stone.

Seeing this person's face, Orochimaru's face immediately showed an evil smile.

"Itachi..."

"You're here."

The Uchiha Itachi slowly walked from the dark place to the light, exposing his body to the light.

Orochimaru kept a smile and looked at Itachi's body from the bottom up, but after seeing Itachi's dark circles, the smile on Orochimaru's face lost some of it, like a parent who saw a child staying up late at home.

"Itachi, your face isn't very good."

The Uchiha Itachi didn't answer, instead turning his gaze to the operating table.

Lying on the operating table was not a human body, but the corpse of a deep diver.

Itachi recognized this as the pure-blooded diver he had captured in the kingdom of the gods, and now the terrifying form had been disemboweled, under Orochimaru's scalpel.

Itachi was not interested in taking a closer look at the structure, so he turned to it and said, "The leader sent me here to help." ”

"You're here to spy on me."

“...”

The Uchiha Itachi didn't answer, which was equivalent to a tacit acquiescence.

Orochimaru smiled slightly, didn't care, turned around and continued to dissect.

Standing behind Orochimaru, looking at Orochimaru's figure, Uchiha Itachi suddenly thought of that mission in the Kingdom of God.

Red Lotus said that part of the information was something she had heard over the years, and some of the information was provided by Orochimaru.

In this case, would Orochimaru be very clear about the visions that have been appearing in his dreams?

Thinking so, Itachi asked.

"Orochimaru..."

"Huh?"

"Do you know what Cthulhu is?"

Hearing Itachi's words, Orochimaru's scalpel suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth rose in an arc.

"Itachi, I didn't expect you to be interested in these things."

"I'm really impressed."

Itachi didn't say anything polite to Orochimaru, and asked directly, "Do you know, or don't you know?" ”

Orochimaru turned to look at Itachi and said lightly, "I know something, which part do you want to know?" ”

"All."

"What greed."

Orochimaru put down the scalpel, it seems that this will be a relatively long topic.

"Cthulhu is an evil god believed in by the Dagon Esoteric Cult, and the Sea Race Divers also believe in Cthulhu, you should know all of this."

"Hmm." Itachi nodded.

"But in fact, Cthulhu is not only an evil god of the Dagon Esoteric religion, he is also a member of the Old Dominators, alongside many other evil gods."

"Wait." Itachi immediately interrupted Orochimaru's words and asked, "You mean that there are many evil gods like Cthulhu?" ”

Orochimaru nodded, and said in a solemn but slightly playful tone, "Among the many evil gods, I think he is only a relatively mediocre one. ”

"In the presence of some beings, it is not worth mentioning."

At this time, Uchiha Itachi's face was still relatively cold, but his heart was already a little touched.

Old Dominators?

Cthulhu is just one of them?

And it's still relatively mediocre?

All of this was unimaginable in Itachi's brain, because given that Cthulhu was believed in by so many people, if the so-called Old Dominators had a large number of followers, they would never have heard of this unfamiliar term.

As if sensing Itachi's inner doubts, Orochimaru began to explain to him.

"The ruler of the old days, simply understood as the ruler of the old world."

"They are made of matter that exists far beyond the mortal world, and are therefore unaffected by the laws of physics in their structure."

"All we can observe or imagine is their physical shell, and their essence is beyond the ordinary limits of space and cannot be easily explored."

"These old rulers began to operate in various parts of the universe long before the birth of mankind."

"Their existence is much greater than us in time and space, so it is normal for us not to be perceptible in our history."

"If you think about it carefully, the age of our ninjas is only a thousand years, and how many people in the world a thousand years ago can know?"

Orochimaru's words once again caused Uchiha Itachi to be shocked, because originally Itachi thought that Cthulhu was just a nihilistic fantasy among the esoteric cultists, but in Orochimaru's mouth, it all seemed to become real.

So according to Orochimaru, the huge fat figure that appeared in his dream every night recently was not a fantasy, but a real god?

It's impossible!

Uchiha Itachi shook his head and denied, "Since you said that the existence of the Old Rulers is beyond our time and space, then how do you know of their existence?" ”

"How do you know that none of this is your fantasy?"

Orochimaru smiled slightly and said, "Itachi is worthy of being a ferret, the question is really to the point." ”

"Alright then, let me prove it for you."

As he spoke, Orochimaru got up and walked towards the darkness behind the operating table, reaching out to a dark place and flipping the switch, and the lights on the stone wall immediately lit up, illuminating the liquid tanks placed in front of the stone wall.

Standing in front of a culture tank, Orochimaru begins to introduce Itachi to the creatures inside.

"The name of this creature is the Ancients, and they came to our world from outer space a billion years ago."

"At that time, most of our world was still ocean, but they had mature amphibian systems that could adapt to the living environment of the sky, sea and land, so they settled down."

"They possessed a high level of intelligence comparable to that of human beings, and at that time the world had established large cities and mature social systems."

"But their cities and civilization have hardly been preserved, because their race was at war with Cthulhu and his dependents 300 million years ago."

"The end result is the destruction of the Ancients, and no one knows if there are any Ancients left, but I can tell you that the ruins of the last city of the Ancients are located in the Black Mountains on the Arctic Ice Fields of the Snow Country."

Speaking of this, Uchiha Itachi suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that when I suddenly saw the spindle creature in front of me, I didn't feel an excessive sense of panic in my brain.

Because this so-called ancient one, I have seen it myself!

About seven years ago, the newspaper published news about the discovery of an ultra-ancient civilization in Snow Country, which was all the rage at the time.

At that time, the newspapers published a blurry photograph of a faintly visible spindle body and a five-pointed star head, which scared the young weasel into not daring to go to the toilet alone for several nights.

Itachi Uchiha never imagined that there was such a huge secret hidden behind the shadow of his childhood.

Before Itachi could sort out his thoughts, Orochimaru came over again and said, "When I defected from Konoha Village, what I actually took from Konoha Village was not the Book of Seals claimed by the three generations, but a statue of Cthulhu. ”

"That statue of Cthulhu has the magical ability to immerse the person who sees the statue in a wonderful vision, and ultimately make it a faithful believer in Cthulhu,"

These words made Uchiha Itachi's heart suddenly startle, and he suddenly thought of the illusion he had been dreaming about all these days.

Don't...

I'm going to become a believer in Cthulhu too?
