Chapter 2011 – The Missing Fifth Universe
Asatos realized that the twelve low-dimensional beings that blocked Him for the first time, and the low-dimensional beings that blocked Him for the second time, both came from the same planet in this universe.
He knows that this is where the consciousness fragment of the fifth universe is located …… Without the addition of the cosmic will, it is simply impossible for this planet to give birth to two beings of this level one after another, which means that this planet is the most difficult place to attack in this universe.
Asatos did not rashly try to devour this planet, but started from the other directions of the universe, little by little approaching this planet, and after another long period of time, [Chaos] and the others launched a third attack.
This time, that Cosmic Consciousness that had fallen into a deep slumber, for some reason, suddenly erupted with a strong willpower, and not only was it not directly devoured and assimilated by Azathoth, but it even turned around and attempted to attack Him!
However, that Cosmic Consciousness, no matter how strong it was, was no match for Asatos, who was the master of this world, and was gradually suppressed to a disadvantage in a fierce battle.
Just when the battle between the two was white-hot, a meteor suddenly crashed through the barrier of the world where Asatos was!
It was a strange building, and on the plaque on the front door, the words “Asylum of the Gods” were written in large letters, and the moment this hospital appeared, Asatos was forcibly dragged into one of the wards, and the other four cosmic wrecks that had been swallowed up by the energies were also sucked into the first, second, third, and fourth wards at the same time.
At the same time, the [Chaos] main body, which was in a comatose state because it was sent to the low-dimensional world by Asatos’ severed consciousness, was also sucked into the sickbay and became a sleeping caretaker.
Then ……
And then?
Recalling this, Azathoth’s consciousness suddenly felt a tingling, a cutting sensation surging through His mind, and
He couldn’t remember what happened back there?
After recalling for a long time, Azathoth didn’t remember what happened behind, instead, the pain in His mind became more and more intense, He simply pressed the thought for the time being, turned His head to look at the [Chaos] in the courtyard, and slowly opened His mouth:
”What happened before I woke up?”
”Nothing happened?” [Chaos] blinked, “I just saw you suddenly run out of that room, said a few words in a delirious state, and then went to open the door …… and was gone.”
”Is delirium …… a backlash of cosmic consciousness.” Azathoth’s deep eyes narrowed slightly, vaguely pained consciousness is a little confused, asked again.
”The fifth universe, did I succeed in devouring it?”
Hearing this question, [Chaos]’s expression was somewhat subtle as He rightfully spoke, “Successful! You’re Lord Azathoth, how could there be anything you couldn’t do?”
Upon hearing this reply, a flash of ice suddenly flashed through Azathoth’s eyes!
His figure instantly crossed the second floor of the hospital and arrived in front of [Chaos], and in those pitch-black eyes, a mighty pressure that was enough to crush the universe was declared!
”You …… even dare to lie to me?”
”Lie to you? Lord Azathoth! How dare I lie to you!!!” [Chaos] screamed in terror, “I was created by your own hands, I am your child ah! How could I possibly lie to you when all of my consciousness was born from you?”
”You said that I have devoured the fifth universe …… Why don’t I feel an increase in power?”
Asatos gazed at [Chaos], a pitch-black tentacle violently poked out of the nothingness, whistling and slamming into [Chaos], but it only lightly penetrated through, blasting the grass under his feet into crumbs!
”And why can’t I touch you? You no longer have my aura on your body, you are not [Chaos] …… who exactly are you?”
”I …… I ……” [Chaos]’s body trembled slightly, as if he was stunned, unable to say a word.
”The fifth universe, where exactly is it?”
Azathoth spoke morosely.
[Chaos] lowered his head and did not answer.
As if sensing something, Azathoth’s pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly, slowly turning his head to look at the fifth ward on the second floor of the sick building.
Nowadays, the first, second, third and fourth wards were the four epileptic cosmic wrecks, the sixth ward was where He was, so where was the fifth ward?
”Is it there.”
Azathoth instantly flashed to the front of the fifth ward, grabbed the doorknob of this ward, and twisted it!
”Lord Azathoth, don’t!” [Chaos]’s cry came from behind.
But it was already too late.
Asatos opened the fifth ward door and was suddenly stunned in place when he saw the scene inside.
Inside this ward, there was no imagined epileptic and chaotic universe, but only a piece of dried and lightless cosmic shells, like translucent snake molts, densely stacked together, as if countless old cardboards piled up in abandoned warehouses, almost filling up the entire ward!
Judging from the size of these cosmic shells, these were all fifth universes.
No, it can’t be ……
The Fifth Universe, there has never been just one, so where did these hundreds of millions of Fifth Universe shells in front of him come from?
Asatos stared blankly at this ward full of universe shells, from the shells of these universes, He could feel an extremely familiar breath …… that was His own breath.
These universes, all of them were created by Himself ……
”How could this be …… when did I ……” Intense stabbing pain once again erupted from Azathoth’s mind, as if there were countless needles piercing His consciousness, He clasped His hands over His head and spoke in confusion.
”No…… I didn’t make these……Why did I replicate so many fifth universe shells……No! ……”
”This isn’t me! I …… am not me ……”
”Who am I? I’m not Azathoth ……? I am Azathoth!”
”No, I’m not Azathoth …… I wouldn’t do this …… Then who am I? Who am I ……”
At the same time, above Azathoth’s head, a panel of nothingness emerged, and above that panel, a progress bar was pulsing madly.
”Azathoth’s healing progress: 73% ……61% ……54% ……47%… …”
Asatos, who was crouching on the ground and struggling in pain, countless fragments of memories flashed rapidly in his mind, in addition to His own, there was also another person’s ……No, it should be memories that belonged to another universe.
”Who am I …… Who am I …… I am ……”
Countless chaotic thoughts almost burst Azathoth’s mind, He violently raised his head, stumbled into his sixth ward, rummaged through the tables and chairs trying to look for a pen and paper as a way to record something, but in his haste did not find it.
As a last resort, He grabbed a table knife and rushed to a white wall, trying to carve something.
But for some reason, the blade of this dinner knife cut through the wall, but not the slightest trace, as if a layer of wallpaper had been put on …… Asatos let out a low roar, and directly slammed his hand on this wall!
Bang–!
The white wallpaper is like a butterfly falling down, a wall that has long been carved by countless knife marks, exposed in the air!
Azathoth froze in place.
