Chapter 55: The Three Pillars God
"Uh... Originally, I was certain about it, but now, I think we should ask the Mystery God. Brand smiled a little awkwardly.
"Genshin!! What's going on with this thing? Can you come out and explain? Brand shouted into the sky.
According to normal reasoning, an extreme supreme existence like Assatos cannot appear in the running group game at all, and at most there will be a family or something.
But now the situation is that not only Azathoth is coming out to destroy the world, but even outer gods like Geheros are also coming out.
If not, the legendary Three Pillars God has also descended at this moment.
In such a normal group running mode, it shouldn't appear at all, after all, this kind of outer god is not something that players who play investigators can deal with at all.
[Hehe, you use the power of Yu-Gi-Oh cards to bless the person, when I don't exist? 】
[This is the end of not doing a branch, eating inside and out, being a second or five boy, and forcibly promoting the plot! ] 】
Xuan Shen's vicious voice sounded in the ears of everyone present, and then disappeared.
Obviously, they relied on the blessing of the three illusion gods to forcibly push the plot, and the behavior of directly pushing the big boss angered the Xuan God, which arranged for them to be powerful outer gods such as Azathos and Geheros.
"Damn, why is this thing so careful!" Flashing Knife couldn't help but mutter.
"What now? You can't really go up and be tough with an outer god like Azathoth, right? Demon Salvation frowned.
"Don't panic, don't panic, isn't the other party coming over yet? We also have a chance to try to close this portal, which is similar to the one that connects to where Azathoth is. Except for the light of wisdom in Shenge Suke's eyes, he said after thinking about it for a moment or two.
However, as soon as the words fell, a door with a strange light suddenly pierced through the other end of the expanding black hole, and then a black key emerged from the door.
Except for Su Yuheng, all the expressions of the others changed greatly.
"Damn, don't you want to play so badly!"
One of the Three Pillar Gods, Yog Sothoth, has descended again!
This being has many great titles, such as the Key to the Door, the One Who Returns All Things, the One Who Occupies the Gate, the One Who Dwells in the Household, the Transcendent, the Ramasakiva, and so on.
The form that passes through the other side of the black hole in front of you is the "key to the door".
Flashblade and the others, who were familiar with the content of the Cthulhu Mythos, naturally recognized this incarnation of Yog Sothoth at a glance.
In the Cthulhu Mythos, Yog-Sothos is seen as the ruler of time and space and the one of all things, and his essence lies outside all multidimensional universes.
And Yog Sothos has infinite wisdom, all the great wizards, artists, and thinkers are his projections in different dimensions, and even sometimes, some people who pass through the Gate of the Final to meet him will get his knowledge.
"Yog Sotos knows where the gate is, because Yog Sothos is the door, and Yog Sotos is the key, the gatekeeper. The past is his, the present is his, and the future is his, for all things are in Yog-Sothoth, and he knows where the Old Dominator has broken through; He also knows where the old rulers will break through again, and he knows which lands of this world have been ravaged by them; They also know which lands are still trampled on by them; He also knew why no one could see his face when he trampled on the soil of suffering...... Yog Sotos is the key to the door, through which countless spaces converge. ”
This passage is a description of the incarnation of the Key to the Gate of Yog Sothoth.
And this is just one of the many incarnations of the other party, among the many outer gods, Yog Sothos can be said to be an omniscient god, which means that he knows the past, present, and future.
Even Yog Sothos is connected to all time and space, and his essence lies in the ultimate abyss beyond the multidimensional universe.
According to some texts, an ancient silver key can open a series of doors to this abyss—from the "first gate" to the "gate of the end" to the final void beyond all planets, beyond all universes, beyond all matter.
Thus, Yog-Sotos, also known as "the One of All Things, All Things in Life", is described in the Cthulhu Mythos as: "It is a thing made up of infinite beings and selfs, in which all is and in which all is in all - that does not exist only in a space-time continuum, but is connected to the ultimate source that animates everything in the boundless scope of all existence - in the end, it is a thing that has no limits, At the same time, it also transcends the absolute scope of all whimsy and mathematical logic. It may be the "Yog Sothoth" rumored in some secret pagan religions on Earth.
Of course, Yog Sothos sometimes gives knowledge to those he deems worthy, and in a certain Cthulhu mythos, Carter uses the Silver Key to open the door to the ultimate abyss, meets Yog Sothos under the guidance of the Ancients, and learns part of the nature of the world from him: "They tell him that every shape in space is just a face of a higher dimension intersecting this space—like an aspect of a cube, an arc on a sphere." ”
However, even the cubes and spheres in the three-dimensional world are only parts cut from their four-dimensional counterparts—the world that humans can only glimpse through conjecture and sleep; But even these four-dimensional shapes are only a part of the five-dimensional shapes, and so on, all the way up to the dizzying and unreachable superordinate, the infinity that is the prototype of all things. ”
"The world to which man and the human god belong is only an insignificant aspect of a small matter...... What we call material and real is nothing but projections and illusions, and what we call projections and illusions are real material and real...... Time stands still, with no beginning and no end. ”
"The feeling that things have changed due to the flow of time is just an illusion. In fact, time itself is an illusion. Only those who are in a finite dimension and have a narrow vision would think that there is something like past, present, and future. Human beings have the idea of time only because of what they call the processes of change, which are themselves an illusion. All those things that were, were, and will exist exist in fact all exist at the same time. ”
Of course, although Yog Sotos is one of the Three Pillar Gods, it seems that the other party once married a human female and gave birth to twin brothers.
The elder brother had more human ancestry and was named Wilbur Waterley.
Wilbur's younger brother had more Yog Sotos blood, but both of his sons were eventually exterminated or expelled.
Wilbur Waterley is the older brother of Yog Sothoth's sons, and has more human ancestry.
He was ugly and unusually precocious, with a goat-like face and a tail and tentacles growing on the lower half of his body.
After his birth, Wilbur was taught by his grandfather and mother to learn ancient witchcraft and raise his younger brother, with the goal of summoning his father when it was right, and this goal grew more and more fanatical over time, even killing his mother after his grandfather's death.
Eventually, Wilbur Watley was killed by the library's guard dogs when he went to the library of Miskatonic University to steal the full Book of Necrons in order to summon Yog-Sototh.
Because he was a wizard, and as the son of Yog Sothoth, his thin bloodline made him too human, and it was understandable that several rabid dogs would bite him to death.
"Fat lips, yellowish skin with large pores, coarse, curly hair, and strangely thin ears always give the impression of a goat—or a beast—to the beast. It didn't take long for people to hate him, even more than his mother and grandfather. ”
Wilbur Waterley's younger brother, who has more Yog Sothos blood, is huge, with dozens of arms and limbs, a twisted body, and a face that resembles half of his brother's face, which is not normally visible to the naked eye unless sprayed with a strange powder, and he needs to suck flesh for his own growth.
He was instrumental in the summoning of Yog Sothoth.
He was secretly protected by the Wattley family after his birth and fed with livestock, and after Wilbur Watley died at Miskatonik University, he escaped from the Watley family's farmhouse and killed a large number of livestock and two families in Dunwich, causing panic.
Eventually, he was expelled by three professors from Miskatonik.
As for the faith......
Although there seem to be few large-scale sects that worship only Yog-Sotos, many cults worship him as well as other entities. Naturally, Yog-Sothos is the source of cosmic wisdom and the means of opening doors to this world and beyond the dimension, with the likes of wizards seeking ways to communicate with him.
To make such a deal, Yog Sotos would ask for something in return, such as sacrificing for nourishment, and possessing himself in some way or pouring parts of his existence into an earthly container.
Known cults of Yog-Sothos include the Yath Followers, the Time Assembly, and the All-Seeing Ones.
Many times, a family cluster may be an entire order.
In the end, there are many incarnations of the other party.
It is rumored that Yaphgomon is one of the incarnations of Yog Sototh, and it is the embodiment of the dark side of Yog Sototh.
Worshipped by many religions, Yaphgomon is regarded as the god of the future and time because it knows all about time and space, but few people have actually seen it, as it only appears to humans when provoked, and is often accompanied by a dazzling light.
Tavir Yat Umr is one of the incarnations of Yog Sototh.
Tavir Yat Umr sits on a throne in the megalithic pedestal behind the first silver key gate to the ultimate abyss of the universe.
He and some of the Ancients waited for the beings who had successfully passed through the First Gate, guiding them and using a ritual to help them reach the ultimate gate to the ultimate abyss beyond the multiverse.
And the essence of Yog Sothos dwells in this abyss. Compared to Yog Sototh's other incarnation, the furious Yaphgomon, Tavel Yat Umr is generally more kind and benevolent to humans.
Nag and Jeb, the Blasphemous Twins, are the old rulers of the Twins in the Cthulhu Mythos, in addition to Roiger and Zal.
According to Lovecraft's "Genealogy of Azathoth" in his letter 617, Nag and Jeb are created by the union of Yog Sothos and Shabu Nikolas, both of whom resemble the outer god Shabu Nikolas.
Nag is an alien race, a tribal god worshipped by ghouls; And Jeb is the leader of the alien cultists who worship the outer god Abuhoth.
With the form of the "Key to the Door" revealed by the other party now appearing in front of them, it is obvious that the other party has not really crossed the endless sea of stars and officially descended on this world.
It's just that as one of the three pillar gods, it is obviously only a matter of time before the other party wants to achieve a true advent with the power of the other party.
And the most troublesome thing for Flash Dao and the others is the other two of the three pillar gods.
Yog-Sothos was the first to come down because of the incarnation of the "Key to the Gate", but that doesn't mean that the other two three-pillar gods won't appear, especially when the alarm clock Geheros sounded the sound of judgment and Azathoth gradually recovered, ready to return everything to chaos.
But fortunately, they are not without opportunities at the moment.
Because the appearance of Azathoth this time is the result of the Xuan God pushing it behind, the advent of Azathos, the Three Pillar Gods and the rest of the outer gods is incomplete.
As long as they can forcibly close the black hole, or expel it, before the other party actually comes, they still have a chance to win the game.
After all, this kind of game in the running group mode is mostly about survival.
After a short period of vigilance, seeing that the "Key to the Door" did not move, Brand and the others first made eye contact, and then leaned out a few cards one after another, and officially made a move.
Silver and Esuke first lay a large number of traps around the "Key to the Gate", as well as cards that can eliminate all powers.
These card traps can greatly restrict the movement of the "Key to the Door", and even if Yog Sothos revives and makes a move, they will not be defenseless.
And the brand, the Demon Salvation Saintess and others took action to suppress the black hole that was slowly expanding.
Because the nature of the black hole is related to the chaotic power of Azathoth, it is difficult for Su Yuheng's power of the Three Illusion God Personality to directly suppress it after colliding with it.
In response to this situation, the brand deliberately sacrificed its own means of pressing the bottom of the box.
