Chapter 56: Suppression
As the card in the brand's hand appeared, another chaotic force was born from it, and then diffused out, suppressing the black hole.
The power that the brand holds actually happens to be the power of chaos.
It's just that his chaotic power is obviously not as good as the chaotic power that spreads out from the other end of the black hole and belongs to Azathoth.
But fortunately, he was not alone, first Su Yuheng's power of the three illusions representing the sky, the earth, and the sun, and then the power of the flash knife and others.
The black hole, which was slowly expanding, was really suppressed by them, and it was still collapsing inward at an extremely slow speed.
But Su Yuheng and the others did not have any joy on their faces, because if they continued at this rate, I am afraid that there would not be three days and three nights, and they would not want to completely close this black hole.
And judging by the speed at which Azathoth on the other side awakened, they simply didn't have that much time.
"Looks like it's still up to me." The demon helped her forehead, and then she picked out a green card from the crowd of cards again.
Time Stalker's time pauses
Perpetual Magic Cards
Effect: The (2) effect of this card name can only be used once per turn.
(1): As long as this card exists in the magic trap area, the multi-dimensional monsters on your field will not become the object of the opponent's effect in the special summoned round, and will not be destroyed by the opponent's effect.
(2): You can activate one multi-dimensional monster on your field. The monster's attack power increases until the end of the turn, and the number of multi-dimensional materials × 300. And when that monster has a card with the original owner as the opponent as a multi-dimensional material, the monster can attack directly this turn.
With the addition of the power of this card, a force belonging to time suddenly appeared, under the control of the demon rescue, accelerating the black hole and their time.
As a result, the speed at which the black hole collapses inward is greatly increased, and if it continues at this rate, it may not take more than half an hour to successfully close it.
But at this moment, countless tiny particles that were difficult to see suddenly converged out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, they condensed into a cloud of gray mist.
"Miss Naia?" Silver, who was setting a trap around the "Key to the Door", lost his voice.
Su Yuheng blinked, and looked at the nearest demon rescue with some doubts.
The latter smiled helplessly, and then introduced him to the meaning of "Miss Naia".
The so-called "Miss Naia" is actually just a fun name, this one is one of the three pillar gods in the outer gods, and the existence of the same personality as Yugsototh.
His real name was Nyaratotip, and he was the messenger and surrogate of the outer gods led by Azathoth, and he often walked in human form, usually as a dark-skinned, thin-skinned man who looked like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
Nyarrathotep has always been keen to deceive and seduce humanity, and takes the highest pleasure in plunging humanity into terror and despair to the point of eventual insanity.
In the Cthulhu Mythos, his image is closest to the traditional concept of a "demon".
And he has many incarnations, such as "the chaos of the ambush", "the god of a thousand faces", "the messenger of the outer gods", "the father of the million-favored" and so on.
"Beyond the realm of light and darkness, directly into the irrepressible void; In this disgusting cemetery hidden in the universe, the sound of frantically beating the giant drum and the subtle, monotonous, profane timbre of the flute came from the dark room beyond time and imagination. In response to this abominable percussion and blowing, the vast and dark ultimate gods—the blind, dumb, foolish gods—were dancing slowly, clumsily, absurdly. And their soul is Nyaratotip. ”
This is a passage written specifically for the Cthulhu Mythos to describe Him.
When Nyaratopep first appeared in the Cthulhu Mythos, he was described as a dark-skinned, thin-skinned man who looked like an Egyptian pharaoh.
He traveled all over the world, using marvelous science and technology to show people unimaginable miracles, and at the end of the story, people suddenly learned that in the unimaginable dark chamber beyond time, the soul of the blind, dumb, foolish god dancing clumsily with the beating of the giant drum and the screaming of the flute was none other than Nyaratotip.
According to the Dream of the Secret Realm of Qatars, the so-called dark chamber is the seat of Azathoth, the lord of all things.
And Nyaratotip is the spirit and messenger of Azathoth and the blind, dumb gods who dance around him.
In this debut, Nyaratotip has the appearance of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, dressed in a colorful and ornate robe, wearing a golden double crown that naturally shimmers, and is tall and thin, exuding the charm of a dark deity or a fallen angel.
He is the guardian of the dream gods who live in Kardas, in the north of the Dream Realm, and is himself worshipped by the Ancients Giants, the Moon Beasts, and the Cold Plains.
In Auguste William Dress's content, Nyarrathotep is described as a symbol of the existence of "earth", one of the rulers of the old days, and exists as their messenger.
In Dwellers of Darkness, Dressy sets the Ngay Forest as the abode of Nyarrathotep, depicting it as a cone-shaped monster with no face, tentacle arms, and two flute attendants, before being destroyed by Ketugea.
In The Dark Scroll of Asophokas, which further describes the Cthulhu mythos, the ancient sorcerer Asopherkas wrote in the manuscript: "Transcending time and space, Nyarrathotep reigned over Charnos, and in the vast ebony palace, he was ministered by minions, ethnicities, and abscesses, awaiting his return." Do not set foot in the spells and magic associated with him, for He will quickly set a trap for the unscrupulous, and the ignorant beware, beware of the dark tome, for the wrath of Nyaratotip is terrifying."
In this story, a sorcerer uses the rituals on the manuscript of Athophkas to travel to Sharnos in order to gain forbidden knowledge and meets Nyarrathotep, but his mind is eventually occupied by Nyarrathotep.
With the help of this body, Nyarrathotep once again walked freely on the earth, twisting the human mind and enslaving the human soul.
In the original Nyaratotip, he is described as a dark-skinned, skinny man who looks like an Egyptian pharaoh who travels the world, using marvelous science and technology to bring unimaginable horrors to every city, and ultimately plunges everyone who witnesses the miracle into madness and nightmares.
But it was just one of His countless incarnations, an inconspicuous incarnation.
In Dreaming of the Secret Realm of Qatars, Nyaratotip has a more Egyptian image.
The story says: "It was a tall, thin figure, with the youthful face of an ancient pharaoh, dressed in a variety of colorful robes, and wearing a golden double crown that naturally shimmered."
Also in this story, when Nyaratotip sends Carter to the Shatach Bird to the Ultimate Chaos where Azathoth is located, he says, "Pray to all that you don't meet my other thousand faces." Farewell, Randolph Carter, be careful; For I am Nyaratotip, and I am the chaos of the ambush. ”
This sentence was the basis for the later title of "God of a Thousand Faces".
In addition to this resemblance to the Egyptian pharaoh, Nyaratotip also appears in another image of him in The Dream of the Witch's House.
In the story, the figure of Nyaratotip is described as, "A tall and lean man, with dark black skin, but not the slightest black man; He had neither beard nor hair, and wore only a monstrous robe sewn from some kind of thick black fabric. ”
In other narratives of the story, Lovecraft also seems to imply that the Dark Man's feet are actually hooves, such as Gilman's clicking sound when he hears him walking, and later sees "smaller, almost circular smudges—as if they were made with the legs of a large chair or table—except that most of the circular smudges are split in half."
Obviously, these narratives are references to the legendary image of the devil.
In Daredevil, for example, Nyara Totip reappears.
In the story, He is a strange being known as the "Night Demon" and associated with the shining octahedron.
In the story, "gazing at the glittering trioctahedron awakens a night demon" and "this creature is said to have all the knowledge and asks for a terrible sacrifice." ”
In addition, it is also mentioned in the story that the Daredevil also only acts in the dark, and any light will hinder it.
Unfortunately, the story does not describe the Daredevil in detail, only mentioning "black wings" and "burning eyes that split into three petals".
Similarly, Blake, the protagonist of the story, suspects that it is an incarnation of Nyarrathotep - but this narrative is only mentioned once in the story, and the story itself does not give any confirmation.
Interestingly, in the Ghost of the Spire, which is related to the Cthulhu Mythos, the Daredevil is officially transformed into the incarnation of Nyaratotip.
Not only did it get rid of the shining home remedies octahedron, but it also took over the body of a doctor named Ambrose Dexter, who walked through human society as Dr. Dexter.
Also in this novel, Bullock alludes to the fact that it was the Night Demon – Nyarrathotep – who led humanity to discover ways to create atomic and hydrogen bombs.
It should be noted that although Nyaratotip is known as the soul and messenger of the outer gods, perhaps because of his many incarnations, in some Cthulhu mythos, he is actually the "soul and messenger of the gods".
For example, in The Keykeeper, Nyarrathotep is set up as the "Messenger of the Old Dominator".
Later, after the Chaos Society separated the Outer Gods from the camp of the Old Dominators, this title became the current "Soul and Messenger of the Outer Gods".
This is also related to the many incarnations of Nyaratotip.
Deliverance then throws him a card with changing contents.
Su Yuheng stretched out his hand to take a look and found that there was a lot of information about the incarnation of Nayarathotep recorded in it.
It's just that there are so many incarnations of this existence that it is difficult for him to read them all for a while, so he can only pick a few more powerful ones to take a look at, so as to increase his understanding of Nayarathotep.
The first is the image of the Night Growler, one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, an ugly giant who roars incessantly, with a huge tentacle growing on what should be his face, and this avatar is also the most common image of Nyaratotip.
Then there is the Black Pharaoh, one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, in the form of an arrogant Egyptian pharaoh dressed in splendid robes, who speaks like the waters of Lethe.
His haughty demeanor and swarthy appearance exuded an attraction that belonged to either the dark gods or the fallen archangels.
Then there is the Shapeless God, who is one of the incarnations of Nyarrathotep, in the form of a winged human-faced sphinx with no face. This avatar can send his admirers back in time.
Then there is the image of the Night Demon that Demon Rescue has just mentioned to him, one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, in the form of a swollen bat-like monster with a fiery red eye that splits into three petals, enough to make a person die in horror.
This avatar can be destroyed by the light, and its most important order is the Interstellar Wisdom Sect, which uses Providence as a base to summon this avatar using the shining trioctahedron.
It is also worshipped by some modern indigenous peoples. It is also known by its other names: "Noodle Eater", "Father of the Bats", "Black Wing", "Sand Bat" and "Light-Seeker".
In The Ghost of the Spire, this avatar has a derivative disguise, a human doctor named Ambrose Dexter.
This is something that the Demon Rescue didn't mention just now, maybe it's because there are too many incarnations in Nyaratotip, and it's difficult to write down all the information.
Then there is the figure called Floating Fear, who is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip. The avatar looked like a huge jelly-like gelatinous object, black juice constantly flowing from above, and the jelly-like sac swelled with veins of blue pulses, and lion-red tendrils wriggled beneath the bulbous-like body.
This avatar is summoned to Earth through a specially selected and prepared human vessel, and when the host is ritually killed, floating fear emerges from its body.
With Su Yuheng's gaze, the content on the card changed faster and faster, and more and more information about the incarnation of Nyaratotip was also displayed.
Pazuzu is one of the incarnations of Naiarathotep, and it is said that Pazuzu's screaming throat is lined with pinpoint-sharp teeth, all born on rotten, bleeding gums.
His breath was so foul that it could kill anyone who inhaled it, and he had rotting genitals and twisted, crippled limbs. In ancient times, there was a small group of fanatical cult followers, and today there are almost no organized followers.
Tezcatlipoca is also one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip. But this avatar has many forms, such as a swaying shadow or a nocturnal headless giant with his head in his hand and a robe of ashes.
It is best known for its "Smoke Mirror": a very tall, Aztec man carrying a black mirror that smokes constantly, or a part of his body.
Regardless of his form, Texcatlipoca was closely associated with the jaguar, often accompanied by the beasts, or transformed into a jaguar himself.
Xiao Ge Nguyen, who is also one of the incarnations of Naiyarathotep. It is a pitch-black creature with rough catfish-like skin, tiny wing-like fins, webbed feet, and a long snout.
Xiao Ge Nguyen can make smaller versions of himself: minion creatures or as guardians are sometimes given to favored followers, and members of this created minion race are in all respects the same as their ancestors, albeit smaller and weaker.
Certain hilichurl tribes worship him as a herald of death or a messenger or harbinger of doom, and he may also be known in the dreamscape - especially to the Leng Yuan.
Nyara Tophis, a somewhat similar image in the name, is also one of the incarnations of Nyara Totip.
Thousands of years ago, this incarnation of Nyaratotip came out of the desert and began to destroy Egypt, destroying vast lands and killing thousands of people at the end of the Empire's Eleventh Dynasty, which at one point seemed unstoppable.
Eventually, he was defeated at Karnak. Legend has it that he looked like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh with an ever-changing countenance, however, those who dared to look directly at his physiognomy saw only a vast abyss covered with stars.
The Weeping Wriggler is one of the incarnations of Nyarrathotep. The avatar manifested as a towering, swirling mass of black droplets, writhing tendrils and drooling, screaming mouths, millions of rope-like tendrils constantly wriggling and twisting, making the avatar look like a column of giant black worms.
The Weeping Wriggler is mentioned in some very obscure Hindu mythology, but it is not worshipped among humans. In Hindu mythology, the weeping wriggler is called a nahari and is depicted as a black man with many limbs and many heads.
The Queen of the Red is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, a very beautiful and powerful woman who always wears the crimson dress of the royal family, lavishly decorated with precious stones and jewels.
At times, she could be a terrifying woman with batwings, snake hair, and claws, with fangs in her mouth, in this form wearing a filthy red robe and wielding a glittering blood-stained scythe.
The Unorganized Queen, the Queen of the Red is an agent of chaos and destruction, roaming the court and influential people, where she wields her power and influence to deadly ends.
The Demon of Darkness is a weaker incarnation of Nyaratotip. It looks like the demon Asmodeirs of the Middle Ages, with black fur, a pig-like nose, green eyes, and the claws and fangs of a beast.
This avatar is often driven by the domination of its follower callings. Generally speaking, only the craziest madmen worship the Demon of Darkness, as they must sacrifice themselves to it.
Black Wind is one of the incarnations of Nyarrathotep, and the closest description of this incarnation comes from the Holy Scriptures of Hellstorm. Heavy downpours, thunderstorms, roaring winds, as well as tornadoes and hurricanes, earthquakes, sandstorms, blizzards, mudslides – depending on the location.
Tempests are always mixed with the wails and groans of twisted souls, and the malignant faces of demons emerge from the tumbling clouds, and such storms are often followed by pathogen-carrying pests, and the areas infested by the black winds leave only a ruined wasteland, and this avatar is worshipped by the Order of the Blood Tongue.
The Black Bull is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, the full name of which is "The Black Bull from the Back of the Stars".
It has many names in ancient papyrus, and if the ancient Egyptian texts are correct, its arrival is no different from the end of the world
However, this is only a precursor to the apocalypse, the fallen of humanity, a paving and envoy for the coming outer gods, and the Black Bull may display its massive bull form, or it may be almost human.
The Beast is a powerful, savage, and almost mindless personification of Nyarrathotep.
The exact image of this avatar is unknown, and it is said that casting a suitable spell near the Great Sphinx in the Giza Plain of Egypt is the only way to summon this avatar.
While archaeologists have long asserted that the colossus was sculpted in limestone by the builders of the Great Pyramid during the ancient Egyptian period, legend has it that the ancient statue was looking down on the world before humans walked on the ground, as its Arabic name suggests, "The Father of Terror."
Its order is known as the Brotherhood of the Beast.
Baron Samadi is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip. This avatar is the god of death in traditional voodoo beliefs, and he is in charge of death and necromancy, as well as all matters related to death.
Baron Samadi always appears as a black man with a grotesque skull tattoo on his face, wearing a high black top hat and a long black tuxedo – few voodoo followers have ever questioned the Baron's true identity as an outer god.
The Dweller of Darkness, one of the incarnations mentioned by the Demon Savior, is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, and apparently the information recorded on the card is a little more comprehensive.
This avatar will constantly wail and spawn and absorb appendages, it has no face, but can take any form it pleases for a short time.
The Dark Dwellers once haunted the Ngay Forest, before being destroyed by Ketugea.
Atul is one of the avatars of Nyaratotip, in the form of a large gelatinous mass from which several golden tentacles protrude. According to the Necronomicon, Atul is one of the "seeds" that fell to Earth eons ago, and has since taken root here, and it will eventually take over the entire planet.
Disgusting Shadow is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, a charismatic general, a man once known as the Dark Overlord.
His influence stemmed not only from the military power he wielded, but also from the excesses he put on the religious sect, which before the 20th century was a god of war and chaos within the Shinto system, to whom its followers often prayed to bring destruction to their enemies.
The avatar can only be summoned when the crescent moon rises at the darkest of the night sky, and to unsuspecting summoners, the Shadow is invisible, blending into the darkness of the night and quietly trailing unsuspecting victims and killing them.
The Man of Darkness is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, a skinny human male whose entire body is completely jet-black, who regularly attends filthy gatherings of witches, teaches them about black magic and impurity, brings devilish edicts, and participates in unspeakable blasphemous rituals.
The Swollen Daughter is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, in the form of a delicate girl with a fan covering her face, but this is only an illusion created by the fan, and the real form behind it is a large, bloated humanoid creature with tentacles that feeds on the brain. This avatar is widely worshipped in the East, where her followers sacrifice the sacrificial sacrifice of the scythe blade and the chopping of human animals, and on a rare occasion, the swollen daughter appears in the realm of dreams and is worshipped.
The Messenger of the Old God is one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip, in the form of a large black object that looks like it is crawling across the sky. This form appears only to herald the occurrence of major events at the cosmic level - such as the awakening of Cthulhu.
When he saw this, Su Yuheng couldn't help but glance at the gray mist, but the other party had not changed for the time being.
Lenogki is one of the incarnations of Nyarrattotip, known as the "Father of Bats", in the form of bat-like creatures with two heads, composed of activated, icy darkness.
Its mouth was covered with fangs, countless star-shaped eyes flickered and moved on both of its faces, and Leroggi flew silently, accompanied by a strange burst of black electricity and flames. This avatar is worshipped by the cube dwellers of Lejehs, who pay homage to it through some sort of self-mutilation ritual.
Then there is the Wandering Mist, one of the incarnations of Nyaratotip. The avatar appeared without warning as a sickly smoke that could move anywhere it wanted, even in the face of the most intense winds.
The swirling clouds in the smoke were so thick that anyone entering could not see a few feet away, in any direction. This avatar appears mainly in the realm of dreams.
In this form, Nyarrathotep can teleport those who enter to extremely distant places in a very short period of time, and those who are so teleported will have no impression of the movement, as if they had just stepped in, and when the smoke cleared, they were already in another place.
And the gray mist in front of him should be the incarnation of Nyaratotip's Fuxing Mist, but the other party's current image state is the same as the "Key to the Door" form of Yogsothoth, and there is no change for the time being.
Seeing this, Su Yuheng didn't continue to look at it, because there were so many incarnations of Nyaratotip that he couldn't finish reading them all in a short period of time, and it was enough to know the key information of this ambushing fog right now.
Nyarrathotep is worshipped in several forms all over the world. One of the most famous cults was the Stygian, which they called "Nayarat" and brought their worship to Egypt.
In front of him, the image of the Chaos of the Walking Movement is one of the greatest gods of the Nile Land, he is the ruler of the underworld, the master of the night, and the patron saint of magicians.
The most famous of these are the Order of the Wisdom of the Stars, who worship the Night Hunters of Nyaratotip, as well as cults that evolved from their avatars, such as the Bloody Tongue Cult, the Brotherhood of Beasts, and the Black Pharaoh's Brotherhood.
With the appearance of this image, the power of time that the demon savers possessed was actually affected by it, making their expulsion and suppression of the black hole weaken again.
"Damn, is the Three Pillars God going to bring the outer gods to a meeting?" The demon saver couldn't help but curse.
