In the dark valley, there is not the slightest light.

The nighthawk's cry echoed throughout the valley as if filled with angry wails. However, Duanmu Huai was not moved at all, just held his cane and walked step by step along the road towards the top of Sentinel Ridge.

At the same time, he was also thinking secretly in his heart.

What Duanmu Huai has to do next is not quite the same as the average player investigator. The average player investigator encounters this kind of thing, of course, and will not be without the corresponding means. But they also relied on external forces, such as the three tantric professors who had banished the heirs of the outer gods here, with the help of the spells in the Book of Necrons.

However, the spells of the Necronomicon certainly do not belong to the category of human use.

In fact, if you want to take the acacia as an account, the human beings in this world are quite sad.

You must know that this world is not without gods, outer gods, old rulers, star dependents, and so on. But there are only human beings, and there are no gods to protect them.

You see, even deep divers can find Dagon and Cthulhu as their backing, but humans have nothing, which is very speechless.

So Duanmu Huai intends to change this situation, starting from tonight.

He wants to tell the other gods that this world, the human beings of this world, are covered by Lao Tzu!

What Naiya Yogsha Bu Nicholas Ketugya Hasta, all to Lao Tzu aside!

From this point of view, Duanmu Huai completely overturned the emperor's teachings and went to a completely different path from what the emperor thought.

The emperor demanded that human beings not believe in gods, but rely on themselves, and do not believe in the existence of gods in the world.

But it didn't work!

Objective reality does not change because of subjective will, just like this world, most people still adhere to scientific values, and the result? When he saw the evil god, he directly shattered his three views, completely collapsed, and turned his head to the enemy.

What's the reason, isn't it because there is no big tree behind human beings?

Look at this world, cultists can go and believe in the king of yellow clothes, the mother of black goats.

Deep divers can believe in Dagon, Cthulhu.

Behind this group of bloodthirsty, twisted, filthy, depraved mongrels there are people, but there is not even a cover behind the decent, determined-minded investigators who live and die for humanity. Is this in the past?

Is it true that good people don't live long, and disasters will last for thousands of years?

The Cultists can use blasphemous spells to summon subspace monsters from the void and manipulate the infinite power of evil. On the contrary, the investigators can only survive on their own minds, weapons and dice.

Is this reasonable?

So what Duanmu Huai can't understand the emperor is the most, what is the matter with human beings needing the protection of the gods? As long as it's not a false god but a true god, then it still works? How? If you have to rely on the power of human beings themselves, then you can roll down the golden toilet bowl as far as you can, anyway, according to your ideas, there are no more human beings than you, and no less than you. Even without you, humanity can still find a way out, right?

As a result, while sheltering human beings, you ask human beings not to believe in themselves, and make human beings at a loss, and the final result is still obvious?

If it weren't for the creation of an imperial state religion, the human empire would have completely collapsed eight hundred years earlier.

The most important thing is to stick to your principles and positions.

"As Inquisitors, what we have to do is to protect humanity and eliminate all that threatens humanity."

Duanmu Huai whispered to himself as he walked forward slowly. Every step he took was a slow but unwavering step on the ground. The cane in his hand collided with the stone, making a low crashing sound.

"Anyone who dares to threaten the existence of humanity will be reduced to ashes in the wrath of the Inquisition."

Duanmu Huai raised his head, pitch-black flames appeared on his body, the cold wind howled, and a violent wind blew in front of him, as if the whole world was resisting his arrival.

"The weak-willed and indecisive have no place and humanity can survive only by firm action and faith. There are no sacrifices too big to accept, and no betrayals too small to be forgiven. ”

The sound of Duanmu Huai was not loud, but it pierced through the sound of the wind that seemed to blow out of the woods, like the wailing of evil spirits, and echoed over the entire Sentinel Ridge.

"Human beings are constantly sacrificing themselves, and sacrifice keeps the human blood alive. Generation, generation, generation. Not why great ideals. Because sacrifice itself is greater than any ideal, but perhaps there is a hope buried deep in everyone's heart: perhaps one day there will be a generation when sacrifice will no longer be necessary, and there will be a generation in which humanity will live forever in peace and tranquility. ”

Duanmu Huai raised his head and stared at the dark clouds that kept rolling in front of him, his expression did not change in the slightest, pouring down, and the raindrops like hail did not change his actions.

"Burn heretics, kill aliens, and purge demons. We are an indestructible shield against the darkness, a blade forged in defiance of fate. ”

Duanmu Huai's voice became louder and louder, and even suppressed the howling wind and torrential rain.

"Destroy all enemies of humanity and destroy their existence!"

With these words, Duanmu Huai walked to the top of Sentinel Ridge.

"Boom Rumble!!

The sound of thunder rolled through the clouds, and in front of Duanmu Huai was a strange round pile of rocks on the top of the mountain. Several stones formed a huge circle, and thunder roared down from the sky, striking directly in the center of this circular stone ring. With a burst of thunder and lightning, a low, gruff, unearthly roar appeared.

Although Duanmu Huai's eyes were empty, he still felt that the disgusting aura from the subspace was gradually becoming stronger and becoming substantial.

"You can't break my will! Despicable subspace crumbs! ”

Duanmu Huai held his cane and roared loudly, and at this moment, the aura of fear completely erupted from him. At the moment when the invisible power of fear burst out, even the world seemed to be afraid——— the kind of fear that was enough to destroy everything and completely burn everything out could not be stopped even by nature.

For a moment, the torrential rain seemed to stop, and the howling wind was gone. The invisible thing in the ring of the stone pile seemed to feel the pressure from Duanmu Huai, and it let out a roar of madness and anger, and then the next moment——— Duanmu Huai only felt that the world in front of him seemed to begin to change gradually.

His feet spanned countless worlds, countless times, and it seemed that the infinite universe among the stars had opened its secrets to him at this moment. Duanmu Huai could feel his body being pulled and divided like cutting sausages, and at this moment he was standing here, but not here. He is located in the countless centers of countless times in countless worlds, and it is as if in the vast universe, the existence of the past, present and future that holds everything in its hands is showing him its power.

The great and free power that has passed through time, space, and even all the confinements.

However...............

"Everything has an end."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, the cane he was holding in his hand slammed into the ground.

At this moment, the black flames of the Destiny Land erupted from it, instantly devouring countless fragments of the world.

No matter how rich, powerful, beautiful, terrible the world, it will be destroyed, it will be destroyed. No matter what kind of existence it is, no matter how great a god is, it can't escape the fate of eventually becoming astral garbage. Death, destruction, total extinction, all things are like this, without exception.

Duanmu Huai clenched his cane and gritted his teeth. He could feel that it was a battle between heart and spirit. This is not simply a confrontation between an investigator and an evil god, but a temptation between two gods. Yogsothos showed him his power, the great being that spanned all things in the universe. If Duanmu Huai was another god, maybe he had already chosen to surrender and retreat at this moment.

But......... He is the god of destruction.

Any obstacle that stands in the way of humanity will be destroyed by him. This is true of everything in this world. No existence could escape such a fate, not even Azathoth. Maybe Duanmu Huai doesn't have such strength yet, but his heart is extremely firm, and his belief is extremely clear. What Yogsothos showed him could not change Duanmuhuai's mind, so all that he showed would eventually die at a moment.

And Duanmu Huai is the representative of that moment.

The destruction of all things, the disappearance, the total destruction.

Even Yogsothos could not avoid this. It sees the past, it sees the present, it sees the future.

Naturally, then, it also saw the end of destruction, destruction and even everything.

It could not deny that.

Then this is the point that Duanmu acacia should insist on.

Destruction is inevitable, so where the flames of destruction will flock need to be considered.

“……………………”

The next moment, everything was back to normal.

Duanmu Huai shook his body and opened his eyes to look forward. The fragment of time that swept through his body like a seaspout before was gone. The summit of Sentinel Ridge had begun to become calm, and the torrential rain had gradually subsided for some time, only in the center of the ring stone henge, the breath of evil, filthy subspace creatures, still did not retreat.

Under the pressure of the fear aura, Duanmu Huai could feel that it was struggling, trying to break free from this terrible bondage. But it couldn't, its power began to drain away, and its soul, which had been angry, full of hatred and rage, began to weaken.

"Anyone who is an enemy of humanity has only one way to destroy."

Duanmu Huai slowly walked to the center of the stone formation, looking at the empty earth in front of him. Then he raised his cane in the air, and at this moment, a pitch-black flame erupted from it, condensing into a flaming blade.

Then, Duanmu Huai swung down vigorously in front of him.

"Whew———————!!!"

Terrible, a weird scream suddenly sounded, and the originally empty air suddenly cracked a huge hole with Duanmu Huai's sword, as if the world in front of Duanmu Huai was a picture scroll, and he roughly tore this picture scroll open a crack.

Then, the crack twisted and struggled in front of Duanmu Huai, and then faded away.

At the same time, in front of Duanmu Huai, a system prompt popped up again.

[Special quest "Source of Fear" completed]

[Task Evaluation: Excellent]

[Even in the face of the existence that spans the universe, you still stick to your true heart, and successfully complete the trial, once again let the world realize that the fear of destruction is the most primitive fear from the depths of all living beings]

[Fear Aura has gained a new trait - Fierce Momentum]

[Ferocious: When the player charges and attacks, all hostile creatures within a radius of 50 meters will lose 1D8 sanity when they look directly at the player]

“………………………”

Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless.
