Chapter 1995 – Azathoth?
”The King’s …… Star Coin?” Lin Qiye looked like he remembered something, “Yes, I’ve used it, I used it to block the gram army.”
”What did you materialize?”
”I ……”
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed once again, a bead of sweat soaked his back ……
How did he block the gram system army to come …… He seemed to have forgotten something very important?
Merlin also noticed that his question was a bit inappropriate and shook his head, ”The [King’s Star Coin] can visualize the past, but the price is eternal forgetfulness, as well as lethal doom …… I don’t know how you survived the effects of the doom, but what you’ve already forgotten …… just don’t think about it anymore, it won’t come back.”
”…… I really can’t think about it, but …… I feel like those things are important to me.” Lin Qiye snapped his head up, “Lord Merlin …… even you don’t have a way to let me recover my memories?”
”No. …… Although the power of magic is all-powerful, it’s not omnipotent, and the [Star Coin] has completely erased the memories in your soul, so it can’t be restored.”
Lin Qiye hung his head low, only feeling empty in his heart ……
Mei Lin helplessly sipped his tea, “In that case, let’s skip the part about being forgotten …… and continue.”
”…… Good.” Lin Qiye adjusted his mind and continued, “After escaping from the High Heavenly Plains, I ……”
”……”
Time passed by minute by minute.
Soon, Lin Qiye got stuck on the second, third, and fourth ……
In half an hour, he barely managed to say much that was coherent, there were many things he did, but he didn’t even remember how he did them, such as training new recruits, such as the trip to hell, such as dying to defend the Zhenguo Divine Monument, such as the Battle of Chennan Pass ……
The more Lin Qiye said, the more sweat there was on his body, and he stumbled and finished the Battle of the Moon, and it was only after that that he slowly became coherent …… but there were still some places where he would suddenly get stuck.
And Mei Lin just quietly sat across from him, listening attentively.
Finally, Lin Qiye finished speaking.
He sat at the table with a pale face, his face filled with haggardness …… He knew that he must have forgotten something extremely important, and whenever he tried to recall it, his soul began to suffer.
Through this recollection, Lin Qiye could clearly feel that he had forgotten more than one person ……
”So that’s how it is.” Mei Lin sipped his tea with a somewhat complicated expression, “So, you explored the depths of the universe alone, trying to find the truth of the Grammatical Myth and a way to defeat Azathoth?”
Lin Qiye pulled his thoughts back and nodded.
”That’s right, but I’ve been following the guidance of the miracle for a long time, and I still haven’t gained any …… Perhaps, this was just my vain conception from the very beginning. Nothing related to Azathoth has appeared in Earth’s wars until now.
Perhaps, He doesn’t exist at all?”
”…… No, He exists.” Merlin nodded firmly.
Lin Qiye froze.
Merlin put the tea pot down and got up to walk outside the lounge, his voice a bit solemn, “Your Excellency, Dean, you’re coming with me.”
Lin Qiye followed Merlin and exited his consciousness out of the Asylum of the Gods, and Merlin’s figure appeared out of thin air in the infinite deep sky.
Merlin’s staff pointed at his feet, a huge magic formation wrapped around the two’s figures like an incandescent meteor, rushing towards the depths of the universe, although the speed was slower compared to Lin Qiye, who had directly traveled through space after fusing the Heavenly Slave Cloud Sword, it lasted for a much longer period of time.
Large nebulae retrogressed around the two, and the direction they were advancing in at the moment basically matched Lin Qiye’s original path, and when Lin Qiye saw this, he asked in puzzlement:
”Where are we going?”
Merlin maneuvered his magic while slowly speaking, “To meet …… Azathoth.”
”What?”
Hearing this reply, a thunderbolt flashed through Lin Qiye’s mind, “Your Excellency Merlin you’ve already met Azathoth?”
”Maybe not really met …… Anyway, you’ll know in a moment.”
The two of them kept advancing in the depths of the universe, Lin Qiye didn’t know how far they had moved, by the time Lin Qiye came back to his senses, the universe that was originally filled with stars seemed to have dimmed, and looking around, it seemed that he could no longer see any stars.
He frowned at the pitch blackness in front of him, “We are …… at the end of the universe?”
”The end? No, this is far from it.”
Merlin raised his finger, pointing at the pitch blackness ahead that was like an abyss or night, and spoke calmly, “That’s Azathoth.”
Lin Qiye was stunned in place.
That darkness is …… Azathoth?
”After I left Earth, I traveled alone to the depths of the universe, trying to find the truth about this world……. In the very beginning, I kept moving in one direction, spanning countless light years, and for the first time, I saw this darkness… … “Merlin, similarly frowning, slowly recounted.
”The first time I saw Him, I felt the unprecedented power of contamination …… Now you may not perceive it clearly, wait for me to lift the defense prohibition spell, then you will understand.”
As Merlin’s staff was raised, an invisible barrier disappeared beside the two of them, and a terrifying sense of oppression was instantly applied to Lin Qiye’s shoulders!
His pupils slightly contracted ……
The darkness that engulfed the universe exuded a suffocatingly bizarre aura, with endless madness and chaos emanating from it, compared to which, the [Black Goat]’s contaminating power was nothing short of a child’s trick …… That oppressive feeling that was far above the supreme was not unfamiliar to Lin Qiye.
At that time, he had felt the exact same aura when he stepped into the mental hospital of the gods, the several universes that had been completely polluted ……
”This is …… Azathoth?” He muttered.
”It is …… and it isn’t.” Merlin continued, “The first time I saw this darkness, I felt a wave of fear in my heart …… I didn’t step into it, but changed direction and continued on, and when I advanced to my limit in the other direction, I once again met this darkness …… I sensed that something was wrong and once again changed direction, and the result was still the same.
This smear of darkness, like an invisible beast, is little by little devouring this universe where we are …… Wherever He passes, the stars fall, and everything falls into the darkness of madness and disorder.
I tried to attack him with a forbidden spell, but I couldn’t hurt that darkness …… He is like a shadow cast by a higher dimensional being in our universe, and any attack we make will only fall on this shadow, and will not be able to have an effect on him ……
For everything in this world, His existence cannot be observed in the true sense of the word, cannot be touched, cannot be defined ……”
