Chapter 488 – #489 Cthulhu
#489 Cthulhu
It was born from a human who felt deep despair.
[…
The world was filled with despair and screams because of the constant war. To beings born in despair, despair was more delicious food than any delicacy, and in that way, beings ate despair and grew up.
Humans were indispensable to existence. The despair that could be obtained from animals was neither delicious nor beautiful. Even if they ate the animal’s despair, the existence’s growth was insignificant. The feeling of despair from one human being was deeper and more intense than the despair from 100 animals.
Man, and only despair from man, fattened and strengthened beings.
He didn’t know why or why he had to eat despair. I just ate and ate despair as my instincts led me.
The existence that was born in despair and grew up feeding on despair spread like a plague to the human world. War was the best environment for despair to blossom.
Wherever there was war, this being was always by my side.
The existence that grew up by eating and eating despair like that came to think. Also, as I started to think, desire blossomed within my existence.
The first thought of existence.
– I want to eat more, more intense, more desirable despair.
The very first desire of existence.
– I want to make this world my own.
An invisible yet existent being wanted to have the world. So I wanted to eat infinite despair.
But where there is a beginning, there is an end.
The war that engulfed the whole world in flames gradually faded. Of course, the despair that existence can swallow has also decreased.
Then the entity started to get nervous.
Only when there is despair can oneself exist. If there is no despair, oneself withers and dies.
[… Die?]
A being who understood the concept of death was overcome with uncontrollable fear. To die meant to disappear soon.
Death was very frightening to beings who were able to think and have desires. It was more terrifying than the humans who started the war, and more terrifying than the terrifying monsters.
The being that feared death had second thoughts.
[Unless humans feel despair.]
Let yourself feel hopeless.
The being that eats despair has become the being that gives despair.
There were also dangerous moments.
The heroes who sensed the presence spreading despair in the world gathered their strength to annihilate the existence.
However, existence was born in despair and grew up eating despair. In order to completely eradicate existence, all living things that make up the world, such as humans, animals, and monsters, who can feel the feeling of despair, had to be killed.
It was impossible, so the heroes failed. The being survived and engulfed the world.
However, there was something that even existence did not anticipate. When a human being had only despair left, he lost the will to live.
In a world of despair, people took their own lives, and as a result, one world perished.
[…
Existence was frustrated by the failure it experienced for the first time.
Why did it fail, why did humans collapse on their own, why, why, why.
After thinking it through, the being realized its mistake.
Hope.
He realized that humans feed on hope, just as he feeds on despair. I also realized that humans feel extreme fear of things that do not exist.
I am not afraid of what I see. But what is invisible to the naked eye, invisible to the human eye, was feared by humans.
If he had a body, if he had a body and was visible to humans, he could breed humans for a longer period of time and achieve despair.
Because humans have a false belief that they can kill a being with a body.
The beings who realized that fact abandoned the world they dominated without any regrets. A world in which despair could no longer be attained was nothing but rubbish.
In pursuit of despair, beings wandered the universe in search of life, a world where humans existed. Countless worlds became food for the growth of beings, suffered in despair for a long time, and then disappeared.
After wandering around so many worlds, beings naturally came up with names.
In a twisted world of fanaticism, beings were called [Great dreamers].
In a world where the world was submerged in the sea, the being was called the [Lord of the Deep Sea].
In a world where only the sea exists, not the land, the existence was called [The one who slept in Rruye].
In addition to that, many other names followed him, such as [The One Who Brings Despair], [Incarnation of Despair], And [Lord of Perdition].
And, in some world, he was called this.
[Cthulhu].
Great, Old, One.
*****
The sky parted and something huge appeared between them.
How should I express that?
Spaceship? Moon? Monster?
No, all of those expressions were wrong.
It was alive and moving to be called a spacecraft and too gigantic to be called the moon. And there was something lacking in being a monster.
God.
Yes, it would be appropriate to call him God.
It is also an evil god who does not love humans in the slightest and regards humans as mere toys and prey.
“… Heh, hehe.”
The moment he saw the evil spirit, the president of the Valencia Association burst into laughter. It wasn’t that the thought of killing the evil spirits boiled over. It was so absurd and so absurd that it made me laugh.
He had also fought monsters. However, I can say for sure that that being was a real monster, incomparable to any other monster.
The moment he saw the evil spirit splitting through the sky, he lost the will to fight. Shouldn’t your fighting spirit burn only when you can fight with common sense? However, that person, who was only a mere human, was not an opponent they could deal with.
I felt it the moment I saw it. I realized the moment I saw it.
I couldn’t know A being almost the size of a continent descends from the cracked sky, so how do you deal with that? Even if I did that, it was too much.
“Her…”
The head of the Valencia Association, an atheist, does not believe in the apocalypse.
“Today is the day the world is destroyed.”
But now I believe in the apocalypse.
If I saw something like that, I had no choice but to believe in the apocalypse theory.
“City…”
Then, a monster fell to his knees.
“Oh God!”
The gray skin covering his face disappeared, revealing his true face. He was an artificial psychic created in the Black Market.
“God! Your servant sees a great being!”
He praised the evil spirit that appeared to split the sky.
“Oh God!”
“Ohh…My god!”
“Praise God! Praise God! God has come to end the age of the immoral!”
Starting with him, the monsters who had been fighting the heroes until now knelt down and began to praise the evil god. It was the cry of blind people who did not know what was right and what was wrong.
Swoop-
Did he hear the praise of the lowly servants who followed him?
An evil god slowly appeared in the sky above the Dark City and wriggled. The body of the evil god split like the sky split.
[…
Eight eyes were exposed like a spider. Eight blood-red eyes looked down at the ground.
“Oh, oh oh!!!”
“My God! My God! My God! I’ve been waiting for you all along! Ohhhhh! My God!”
When the evil god, Cthulhu, opened his eyes, the monsters shouted and praised more fervently, like sasaeng fans who met their beloved idol.
Despite their bizarre and terrifying fanaticism, no one could criticize them for anything.
In general, fanatics who commit all kinds of evil in the name of God are bound to be hated.
But things were a little different now.
The existence that those zealots follow appeared in front of me, splitting the sky. Even though they were called evil gods, they were gods. The moment I witnessed the existence of God, I had no choice but to admit it.
[…
‘That monster… Where is it looking at?’
Gina noticed that her eight eyes weren’t looking at them. Although his followers ardently praised him, God’s eyes did not see them.
If so, where are you looking?
‘… Building?’
Cthulhu’s eyes were on the Heroes building.
‘Ah?’
The moment she saw the Heroes building, Gina’s eyes widened.
– Aaaaagh!
– I don’t want to die!
-Help me!
‘Oh, the souls…’
Seeing the spirits flying into the sky towards Cthulhu, Gina shut her mouth. The souls brought to the Heroes building flew towards Cthulhu this time.
The spirits struggled to escape, but were unable to escape. Eventually, they were sucked into Cthulhu’s body.
Those who died painfully even when they were alive were not free even after they died.
“Ah, ah, ah…”
Gina shed tears at the terrifying and horrific sight. There was only one person who could solve this situation right now.
“Brother… Help me…”
Gina shed tears as she searched for the man she loved.
*****
“Cthulhu…”
That bastard monster has finally descended to this world to eat me.
I couldn’t see it, but I could feel it coming. The moment the altar emitted a dark light, the air became heavy and I felt greedy eyes on me.
Currently, there is only one entity that can make me feel this way, Cthulhu.
An arrogant, second-dimensional monster who dares to think of me as his prey.
‘But the problem was that there was no way to stop it right now…’
Actually, I have one thing in mind. However, there is such an overwhelming difference between me and Cthulhu that I’m not sure if it will work for him.
‘I’ll have to give it a try though.’
It’s not my taste to sit still and suffer. We will resist until the very end.
“Kuhihik! You’re trembling like a pig right before going to dinner!”
“You fucking bastard. Don’t you have a mouth?”
Honestly, honestly, I’m scared right now. That’s right, I’m in an imperfect state, but isn’t he in perfect condition? Moreover, he occupied half of the body of the giant of chaos.
Beating him in his current state was virtually impossible.
In such a situation, I was angry at the headless bastard laughing at me.
“You’re a problem with that tongue.”
“Turn off, turn off!”
He thrust his fingers into the White Killer’s muzzle and tugged at the tongue. He resisted by biting my fingers with his teeth, but he couldn’t stop me from pulling out his tongue.
“Mmmm!”
He was in pain when he pulled out his tongue. Seeing the guy who lost his eyes and even his tongue made him feel at ease.
“Do you like canned food?”
“Ugh…”
Saying that, he took out an icebox from his inventory. The icebox was full of ice.
After clearing the ice, I put the body of the White Killer inside it, just like when I dealt with the immortal S-class villain, Demon Baron. You can play one at a time, so I put each part separately.
I tried to see if I could put it in the inventory, but the answer came back saying that living creatures cannot be stored in the inventory. Fuck you.
In the end, I had no choice but to choose the next best option.
After putting aside the iceboxes containing fire/this/t/kill/ler, I took out a large safe from my inventory. It was a safe that boasted the highest durability and safety used by Hero Bank.
Bang-!
I put the ice boxes in the safe and closed the door with all my might. Come back later to find a perfect way to kill this bastard.
“Well then…”
Ruler of Gravity Using superpowers, he looked at the ceiling. I used repulsion on the floor of the parking lot and flew upward. The ceiling is broken.
[Ah… I waited for this day, the giant of chaos!]
“I fucking hated this fucking tentacle.”
I met eyes with Cthulhu floating in the sky.
Let’s struggle.
