Clumsy robots loaded with a lot of supplies and tools.

Follow behind a group of people dressed in steam-powered exoskeletons.

"呲呲~"

The delicate gears on the exoskeleton turned, spewing out a white mist.

The speed of their movements suddenly increased.

These people are the same people that Arkham has sent to explore and expand the Land of New Life.

And they have applied their innovative and practical steam robot and steam exoskeleton technology.

Compared to the people who first explored and discovered the ruined city of Arkham's predecessor.

The efficiency between them is very different.

More mountains and rivers have been discovered, and resource points have been marked.

The exploratory team had excited smiles on their faces.

These newly discovered resources can drive the rapid development of their civilization again.

After nearly half a year, all the expanded areas of the New Birth Land were explored.

The biggest discovery of these was none other than the Sea of Death they discovered.

"It's an ocean with no end in sight, in the midst of fog, but there's no fog in the sea."

"At first glance, it's so cold and deep, it's like sucking people into the sea."

"Even though it looked lifeless inside, we found that there were marine life inside."

"It's just that those sea creatures are extremely ugly, and that ugliness, even if you make a random appearance out of a lump of dirt, is more beautiful than it."

This is the original description of the Sea of Death by the explorers.

and it was recorded in their chronicles.

Due to its distance from Arkham, the Sea of Death has not attracted much attention for the time being.

Although some people have already connected the sea that appeared there with the dreams of those madmen.

Based on the map drawn by the exploration, Arkham began to expand, unearthing more resources.

One year, two years, three years...... Until five years passed.

With Arkham as the core city, two smaller cities have expanded in different places.

Towns and cities, big and small, connect these big cities.

Steam technology has improved again, and civilization has taken another step forward.

But it still can't handle the weird creatures, let alone the devastation that appears on time every year.

The more I learned, the more powerless I felt.

Many of the radicals have slowly chosen to return to conservatives.

After all, Arkham had already established a well-established monetary system.

Wealth and poverty are magnified under this steam civilization.

They also have to run for a living.

The tone of everything is based on fear and the unknown.

Regarding the Sea of the Dead, they were also visited a few times during this period.

However, there are no towns nearby, and there is no transportation by sea.

I don't know much, but I know that the sea is endless.

It's not very dangerous, though, and the sea creatures inside are ugly, but they taste delicious.

In order to further explore resources, as well as to learn about the world.

This year, they built a small town on the Sea of Death.

And named - Innsmouth.

Two years passed, after the establishment of Innsmouth.

Many people have migrated there one after another.

People who believed in strange dreams, in particular, all moved to Innsmouth.

They built steamships there and began to develop the fishing industry.

The ocean's resources were far more abundant than they thought, and fishing soon became a hot industry.

More and more people are joining the fishing bandwagon, and the distance they sail is getting farther and farther.

During this time, people in Innsmouth discovered a feature about the Sea of the Dead.

That is, whenever the day of the Great Ruining comes, the Sea of Death will not be affected.

A person who believes that dreams are true and is a projection of a place.

I believe that the sea in my dream is the Sea of Death!

This will be the place where they can be blessed and bring them the truth of this world.

But there are even more people who don't believe.

They think that this sea area is a more terrifying place than the day of the great ruin, and more terrifying than those strange creatures.

However, the fishing industry has become a "gold rush", and the number of people leaving has not decreased much.

But none of them noticed that there was a group of fish-people from the deep sea, called Deep Divers.

has begun to silently observe everything about them.

These humans are greedy, cowardly, timid, blind, and live in fear.

They need a faith, a great faith!

People who live in Innsmouth and believe in the Sea of Death.

Their dreams became more and more real, and in their sleep they heard the call from the sea in a trance.

They saw a group of creatures, and that group of creatures guided them.

Eventually, in the middle of the night, the group of soon-to-be-mad men should be imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum.

The group came to the seaside, and there, at last, they saw them!

Gray green skin, full of icy texture.

Like a human fish's head held high, standing motionless in the sea.

It's like a statue that has been washed up by the sea and buried for thousands of years.

The deep diver makes a hoarse, high-pitched guttural sound...... It conveys all the emotions that his face cannot express.

The picture in the eyes of these people began to distort, and their eyes were full of fanaticism.

It was like a dream they had dreamed of.

They gradually understood the strange guttural voice of the Deep Diver.

Although comprehension here is not in the literal sense.

They begin to understand, they begin to accept......

It turns out that there is a great being, sleeping in the ocean!

His servants guide them, just by awakening Him.

They will be able to understand everything and gain everything!

The frenzy reached an extreme, and they began to walk towards the ocean, towards the deep divers.

They spread their hands and looked at the sky with their heads.

The cold teeth tore apart the bodies of some of them.

Blood stained the sea.

But no one is afraid.

They were performing a sacrificial ceremony, which was dedicated to Him.

From now on, they are His most faithful believers!

With faith, they separated from the divers and returned to the small town of Innsmouth.

Begin to merge with another group of believers.

This group of believers were the ones who were initially afraid of the Sea of Death, but stayed because of fishing.

They met the divers while fishing in the deep sea.

They went from being scared at the beginning, to discovering later that they could sacrifice their crew to the deep divers.

to gain access to a large amount of marine resources.

Greedy lust consumes them.

Further contact with the Deep Diver distorted their minds.

They also came to understand the Great Being.

- The God of Sleep, Lord of Laleye, the Great Cthulhu!

The Cthulhu believers who gathered together, who were also representatives of the radical faction.

Under the guidance of the Deep Divers, they founded the Order of Cthulhu.

- Dagon's Secret Sect!
