Chapter 2013 The Letter

　　And this, is just the beginning.

　　Lin Qiye looked at the wall full of blade mark statements with a somewhat complicated expression.

　　But in the end, he still lifted the blade in his hand and firmly and incomparably carved hard on the wall!

　　After carving a few words, Lin Qiye put the knife back on the table, took a deep breath, turned around and pushed the door to leave this ward.

　　”Thief! Blasphemer! Damn reptiles!!!”

　　As soon as he pushed the door open, [Chaos] stood outside and cursed viciously!

　　Lin Qiye completely ignored His presence as his figure directly penetrated through and headed straight for the steps down the stairs, while [Chaos] could only grit his teeth and follow behind him.

　　”So, what are you going to do now again? Send him a letter?” [Chaos] walked to his side, his expression suddenly unprecedentedly grave, “You give up …… He won’t get back to you, just when you were dreaming, I’ve already killed him! Hahahahaha ……”

　　[Chaos] arrogant laughter resounded through the building, Lin Qiye acted as if he didn’t hear it, and expressionlessly crossed the courtyard to the green mailbox next to the gate of the Asylum of the Gods.

　　It was a mediocre mailbox, it had already existed when Lin Qiye had just gotten this hospital, and at the time, Lin Qiye only felt that this design was very ribbed, after all, no one would even write to this hospital …… Not to mention, nowadays, this hospital had already been placed in a high dimensional world.

　　But this time, Lin Qiye opened the mailbox, a parchment letter lay quietly in it, a bright red postmark printed on the surface.

　　In the lower right corner of the envelope, a string of beautiful medieval English script was written:Dear_Lin.

　　Seeing this letter, [Chaos]’s face turned blue.

　　Amidst [Chaos]’s cursing voice, Lin Qiye took the letter and returned to his room, backhandedly locking the door to his room and barricading [Chaos] from the door before opening this envelope in front of his desk.

　　”Dear Lin, perhaps, you have completed the 112th, 290th, 017th dream?”

　　”I have returned to the middle of the ‘gray layer’, and I assume you have awakened from your dream? This time, do you still remember who you are?”

　　”I don’t think you’ll forget, you’ve already gone through so many dream cycles, your strength has completely exceeded my imagination, perhaps, the gap between you and Azathoth is already very small?”

　　”Don’t worry about me, my friend, I’m safe in the Gray Layer, and if you’re equally safe, please send me a letter back …… After all, that was the pact we made right after the first dream cycle ended.”

　　”May you begin the next dream cycle safely.”

　　”–Your friend, Yelland.”

　　After reading this letter, a touch of relief finally surfaced in Lin Qiye’s eyes as he flipped the letter over, pinched out a feather quill out of thin air, and wrote on the back of the letter:

　　”Dear Yelander ……”

　　”As you said, I have completed this dream cycle and remembered everything without incident.”

　　”In addition, I am safe, during these hundreds of millions of dream cycles, both I and Azathoth have been repeating everything I have experienced over and over again, and under the power of the [Instigator], I can feel that Azathoth’s will is gradually being assimilated into mine …… He is beginning to think that he is me. ”

　　”I don’t know how much of Azathoth’s power I’ve assimilated, in short, the time it takes me to remember who I am is getting shorter and shorter each time, which means that His will has been weakened a lot, but it shouldn’t be enough to defeat Him.”

　　”This war of wills is far from over, and between me and Azathoth, there is destined to be only one winner …… The one who wins will then become the sole master of the High Dimensional World.”

　　”I will soon make the next dream cycle, since 100 million cycles have not yet been able to defeat Him, let’s wait for 200 million, 300 million …… One day, I will reappear in the Fifth Universe.”

　　”I look forward to our official encounter.”

　　”Your friend, Lin.”

　　Lin Qiye finished writing the last word, stuffed it back into the envelope, and walked towards the mailbox at the door.

　　In that battle at the very beginning, Lin Qiye had locked himself up in the sixth ward with the will of Azathoth, and at that time, under the strong will of Azathoth, he had truly forgotten who he was, and completely thought of himself as Azathoth, and even when Azathoth found out that the fifth universe was missing, and his mind was a bit cut off, he didn’t manage to awaken his memories and personality.

　　And so, Azathoth was kept in the sickbay for a long time …… until one day, a parchment letter floated out of the mailbox at the entrance to the sickbay.

　　On that letter was written an elegant passage in English, which translated was:

　　”When you see this letter, all evil will retreat.”

　　It was a holy covenant.

　　It was a holy covenant concluded by a powerful being who had taken half a step in the “Ascension”…… Yelande.

　　The covenant in this letter briefly suppressed the will of Azathoth that was fighting with Lin Qiye’s will and awakened Lin Qiye’s memories, and it was also from this letter that Lin Qiye learned about the existence of the “gray layer”.

　　The so-called gray layer is a crack-like existence between the low-dimensional universe and the high-dimensional world.

　　In the Fifth Universe, beings who had broken through the half-step “ascension” would not disappear with the demise of the universe, but would instead be stuck between the cracks of the lower and higher dimensions, as was the case with Yelande.

　　Yilande’s soul was in the depths of the universe, witnessing the battle between Lin Qiye and Azathoth, and used up all of his divine power to use the holy covenant to throw this letter from the gray layer into the mailbox of the high dimensional world, establishing contact with Lin Qiye for the first time.

　　It was this letter from Yellande that saved Lin Qiye from the brink of his will’s demise.

　　Lin Qiye, who had regained his senses, thought of a way to use the Instigator as a weapon to assimilate Azathoth’s will, and he forcefully mobilized that part of the power that had been assimilated by Azathoth to create a “dream world”, which to Azathoth was the creation of a brand new Fifth Universe… …

　　In this created fifth universe, Lin Qiye reenacted everything in his memories, directly substituting Azathoth’s will into his former self, completing an absolutely perfect “instigation”!

　　Not only is Azathoth trying to assimilate Lin Qiye,……, Lin Qiye is also trying to assimilate Azathoth!

　　This was a silent and invisible war in a mental hospital.

　　Lin Qiye put this letter into the mailbox, and his eyes looked through the massive iron door to the outside of the hospital ……

　　Underneath the gray-black sky that looked like leaden stone was an empty and dead world, and at this moment, the Asylum of the Gods was at the closest location to this gray-black sky.

　　At this time, in front of the hospital, a black giant nucleus that almost fills the entire space is silently suspended, expanding and contracting …… with a certain slow frequency like breathing.

　　That, is the body of Azathoth.
