Chapter 193: The King in Yellow

The King in Yellow, one of Hasta's most famous incarnations, and even many lovers of the Cthulhu Mythos think of Hasta as the first thing that comes to mind.

As for Hasta, he probably needs no introduction, he is one of the most famous gods of the Hindrance system, and at the same time a powerful and mysterious being, a bearer of madness and curses.

Even when considering the naming of the Kthulhu lineage, the "Cthulhu Mythos" was almost named the "Hasta Myth" on the whims of the arrangers of the descendants of Luo.

Li Ming's heart carefully went through the setting of the King in Yellow, in fact, he had already written a manuscript about the King in Yellow, and after many repairs and finally took shape, after all, he naturally had to take this one of the most famous gods seriously.

He closed his eyes and glanced at the sea of spirits that he had already recovered to his peak state, feeling the rich spiritual power emanating from the mirror-like sea.

Then, Li Ming stretched out his right hand, and attracted his spiritual power to gather a blank card with a glowing white light, and landed the name of the card to be created next-

[King in Yellow]!

When the four words of the king in yellow fell, the spiritual power of the soles of Li Ming's feet instantly set off a surging wave, and the waves formed by the spiritual power were turbulent, and began to condense and rotate around Li Ming's body, and vaguely Li Ming seemed to feel that his spiritual power was on the verge of collapse.

It's a pity that even with Dagon as a power bank, due to the complex relationship between the Cthulhu faction and the Hasta faction, the spiritual power supplied through the "Lalaye Text" is no longer one in Li Ming's spiritual sea.

But enough.

After all, this time, Li Ming deliberately created a pre-card -

When the sea of spirit was almost collapsing, Li Ming raised his left hand and attracted his spiritual power to summon the book "The King in Yellow" engraved with a yellow seal cover in front of him.

After having "The King in Yellow" as a medium, the spiritual power that originally surged out suddenly changed from irritable to gentle, and slowly poured into the "King in Yellow" in Li Ming's hand like a trickle, and then poured into the "King in Yellow" through "The King in Yellow".

It's like building a ladder between two peaks, connecting the two originally isolated peaks in series, and the mental energy expenditure required is also greatly reduced.

After completing this work, Li Ming took a deep breath and began to draw the card face of the "King in Yellow".

Compared to other gram cards, the King in Yellow is relatively simple, after all, he has no facial features, and he only needs to draw the weird, treacherous, shabby, ragged yellow robe, and a pitch black that can't see anything.

Li Ming had already drawn and drawn this work on scratch paper before, and he was already very familiar with it, and it probably only took a few minutes for it to take shape.

Subsequently, after the final strokes were finished, the originally relatively rough "King in Yellow" card surface began to be repaired and integrated by itself, perfecting the details little by little.

And next, it's the most important thing.

Li Ming took a long breath, after the last experience, he could almost see himself being squeezed dry on the spot.

Two cards slowly floated around him, namely the low-level orange-level material card [Weird Dance] that Ruan Zhou provided to him, and the gold coins that the old man burst out, the high-level orange-level material card [Ugly Shaping].

Of course, the script of "The King in Yellow" is also playing a role on the side, otherwise it would be impossible to create an orange-tier card "King in Yellow" with these two orange-tier cards alone.

He raised his hand and began to inject the soul of the Cthulhu worldview into this "King in Yellow" with the setting of words-

[The King of Yellow looks similar to a human in appearance, he usually wears yellow or variegated ragged robes, he sometimes wears a pale mask, sometimes he seems to be able to see wings on his back, and sometimes he seems to wear a halo on his head, he has no face and no face, he is two people tall. 】

[He is the most recognizable embodiment of Hasta, the old robe is actually a part of his body, an extension of his flesh and blood, and beneath that face lies an ugly tentacle - he has a shocking plasticity and can change the shape of his body at will. 】

[His followers are mostly lonely and paranoid madmen, who are all mad poets and artists in the eyes of ordinary people, who usually fall into madness after reading a strange play called "The King in Yellow", and they are willing to draw sick inspiration from cruelty. 】

[Legend has it that the King of Yellow will hypnotize his target through a strange dance, and through grasping and gazing, he can make all targets panic and even go crazy.] 】

[In the cult of Hasta, those who witness the Yellow Seal distort their dreams, leading sane people to madness and destruction—a malevolent symbol that seems to be entwined and twisted, like the heart of madness, which seems to have a life of its own. 】

[In ancient prophecies, the King in Yellow will come to the lost Kalksa to ascend to his throne, or to put it another way, Kalksa is actually another manifestation of the King in Yellow. 】

[One day, everything will become "like Kalkesa", and his followers will break free from the shackles of mortal bodies and mortal mortals, and wander the world like rulers forever——]

[The light of Aldebaran is shining in the sky, the towers will be in flames, the disease will be raging, and everything will decay and fester......]

Every time he dropped a word, Li Ming could feel that the strength in his body was drained a little - at first, it was just strength, but then it gradually turned into breathing, and even blood, and the feeling of detachment appeared in his mind again.

Fortunately, before he completely exhausted and fainted, Li Ming finally completed the background story of the King in Yellow.

He let out a long breath of turbid gas that had been smothering in his mouth for a long time, and when he exhaled it, it had turned into a hot stream.

And now, he nervously waited for the results of the examiners, waiting for the orange halo that he expected to appear.

This time the interrogation lasted as long as five minutes, and Li Ming almost couldn't open his eyes, exhaustion came like a tidal wave, constantly encroaching on his body, and every second of waiting seemed as if a whole day had passed.

But five minutes later, the blank card that shimmered with fluorescent light finally erupted into a burst of orange-yellow soft light, turning into six orange streamers that appeared on the side of the [King in Yellow] card.

This is......

Six-Star Orange Card!

Good guy, I've finally made it to the realm of orange cards!

He also ignored the exhaustion in his heart after going through countless hardships, he just squinted his eyes slightly, looking at this [King in Yellow] that had finally been created after spending a lot of mental strength and strength——

Li Ming let out a long sigh and gradually retreated from his spiritual sea.

He stretched out his slightly trembling fingers, and felt that his soul had fallen into complete weariness, as if an endless mountain had sunk into his body.

Although the king in yellow has a little feedback on his spiritual power, this sense of detachment ......

How to say it.

Actually, I'd like to experience it a few more times, after all, each experience means that you can make an orange card.

Li Ming fell on the bed and thought slightly.

Now, you've got the last piece of the puzzle together.

If you follow your own guess, the spatial rift that appeared when the Lalleye Text was used with Innsmouth......

Maybe it's there!

And now he also has the capital to explore the spatial rift, the king of yellow, as an orange-tier card, also has a certain power of the law of space, and with the Baiaki summoning technique, he naturally has the capital to explore the spatial rift.

So, the next step......

Naturally, I went to that spatial rift and saw with my own eyes whether it was consistent with my own conjecture!

Of course.

Before that, he had to get some rest.

Later, Li Ming took a few days off, and once again entered the days of drunken life and dreams, eating and drinking, and both his body and mind and stomach were well relaxed.

To be honest, Li Ming's amount of food has increased by at least ten times in the past few days, and he used to be very economical, and a bowl of rice was at most half a bowl.

But now...... You have to eat more than 10 bowls of rice every day.

If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Sea was also absorbing nutrients from the stomach, otherwise, with Li Ming's amount of food, I am afraid that it would not be long before he would have gained dozens of pounds.

After resting for a few days, Li Ming's spiritual sea finally returned to an almost full state.

The first thing to do is to follow your plan and start to find out if your previous ideas can be put into practice.

He summoned Dagon, and took out the L'Areye Text and Innsmouth.

The familiar green mist shrouded again, and the decaying buildings appeared in the town of Innsmouth—Li Ming took out a few of his stealth cards and completely hid the treacherous scene.

Subsequently, he took over the "Laleye Text" and induced his spiritual sea to begin to frantically infuse the "Llalaye Text" with spiritual power, urging it to exert its effect at maximum power.

That huge aura soared into the sky, and even startled a burst of bird calls around it—

A spatial crack appeared in front of him!
