Chapter 492 – #493 a Ray of Hope
#493 A ray of hope
Damn-!
Eventually, less than a span of space remained. The monsters and people who remained in the black market were also absorbed by me and disappeared without leaving a trace.
’57, 58, 59…’
Counting in my head, I put the last number in my mouth.
“… 60.”
The 60 seconds and 1 minute that I promised the kids.
Black Market, the body of the chaos giant cut in half by Cthulhu was absorbed into me, the original owner.
A huge wave of knowledge rushed through my head.
It was established what I could do and what miracles I could create with this power overflowing throughout my body.
“If this…”
It was still impossible to kill Cthulhu with this power alone. However, I was able to see that the plan built with a ray of hope, believing in the possibility of 1%, was not a foolish plan.
The success rate of 1% rose to 50% at once.
“Let’s go.”
To save the people I love.
“Let’s go.”
To save this world
“Let’s go.”
Let’s go.
*****
Hideous black tentacles rushed in from all sides. An overwhelming sense of despair swept over me.
In the end, I couldn’t stand it.
Women were so angry that the man they loved couldn’t last a minute. It was only 1 minute, 60 seconds. It was so unfair to die like this.
But among them, the most angry and unfair thing… Was that they couldn’t see the man they loved anymore.
Death, it was an eternal farewell.
‘Sorry.’
‘I love you.’
‘I was so happy… To be able to love you.’
The women left their last words to a man and closed their eyes. Death will come soon, with terrible pain.
“… Uh?”
But no matter how long I waited, I felt no pain. The women slowly opened their eyes with puzzled faces.
Then what you see…
“Now let’s start round 2, you dirty tentacle.”
[Ah ah ah ah ah…! This is it! I’ve been waiting for this! Chaos Giant! Fascinating prey that dazzled me! I’ve been waiting for you all along!]
“Shut up your mouth. It smells like a sewer.”
Hehe! Chaos Giant! My giant of chaos!]
“This bastard?”
Looking at the skill of teasing the mouth, I could tell who the White Killer resembled and opened the mouth like that. It was the priest of that god.
“Brother!”
“Master!”
“Why did you come now! You said you only lasted a minute, but it seems like you lasted an hour!”
Lovely women were delighted with my appearance. It was only natural that he was alive and dead.
By the way…
‘… Fuck.’
The two were not visible. There is no Gina and Frame location. If they weren’t here, it was obvious what would have happened to them.
Unbearable anger welled up from the depths of his heart.
‘Whoa… Let’s calm down.’
I suppressed the anger eating into my mind. It is not yet the time to be sad and angry.
It’s impossible now, but I have a way to save Gina, the Flame Witch, and the Siren.
Can be saved
So let’s cool her head. You can’t deal with Cthulhu while your head is burning hot.
By infusing more power into his psychic powers, he pushed back the tentacles coming from all directions.
‘Absolute defense.’
It was the skill of the 47th special superpower [Apostle of Dawn].
A fraudulent skill that could unconditionally block attacks from all directions. Daemonim, a level 10 telekinesis, could produce a similar effect using telekinesis, but it was just an imitation.
If the shield made by telekinesis is stone, the shield made by the Dawning Apostle’s superpower is vibranium.
“I’m resting here. I’ll get back to you soon.”
I split the shield in two, one around me and the other around my women. As long as I don’t die, the shield won’t break through.
After securing my girls safety, I flew into the sky. Pushing away the tentacle with a shield, he opened the way to Cthulhu.
Queek-! Kiki-! Queek-!
Cthulhu’s tentacles tried to pierce the shield. An eerie sound came from the shield. Getting close to Cthulhu was not easy.
‘It’s not easy.’
I thought they would try to absorb me as soon as I showed up, but Cthulhu showed the exact opposite. Cthulhu did not allow my access easily.
‘Damn it.’
If it’s Cthulhu, even if it can’t penetrate my hammer, it can keep me from approaching it at all. The number of tentacles he wielded was uncountable. The mass of the tentacles was no joke either.
However, he opened the way little by little, as if luring a kitten with a churro.
I could feel his malice.
Didn’t I say that cats play with mice before they catch and eat them? It was like that. Cthulhu was playing with me rather than absorbing me right away.
‘… Whoa! Are you okay. Rather good.’
I was angry at the arrogant behavior, but I held it in. The more vigilant he is, the easier it will be for me to carry out my plan.
Pushing away the tentacles, he advanced toward Cthulhu. How high is it currently? I couldn’t tell. It was tentacles wriggling everywhere.
‘At this point…’
I needed to thin out the tentacles once. That way he won’t go after my girls. Cthulhu must not set his sights elsewhere.
‘Ancient fire.’
The second special psychic power [Ancient Fire] Was used.
Fire was a signal that humans, who were like beasts, blossomed civilization. With fire, primitive people heated and ate meat and made many tools.
Fire was the starting point to announce a new world.
Hwareuk-!
A small fire lit up inside me. It was a very small ember, smaller than a match, but the power contained in it was beyond imagination.
This small spark had more firepower than nuclear weapons.
After preparing to attack, I disarmed the barrier surrounding me. Then, the tentacles that were pressuring the shield rushed all at once. That’s terrible.
Before the tentacles touched my body, they ignited the embers.
OK-
——————–!
The world was roaring. It was as if the sun had fallen into the world. Even with my eyes closed, my eyes were dazzled.
With this much firepower, it can have a big impact on Dark City. It will be reduced to ashes at once, and those who survived the monsters will not be able to find even a trace of them.
But it’s okay.
The tentacles that covered the world would act as a breakwater.
The flames that burned the tentacles according to my will disappeared without a trace. For a moment, the world returned to its original form.
[It’s hot!]
The road to Cthulhu was also opened.
‘A hawk in the sky.’
You used the 33rd special superpower, [Earth Hawk]. My body soared faster than lightning, as if the previous flight was like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings. A translucent hawk was by my side.
Haha! Okay! Come! Come to me, chaos giant!]
Jjang jjeol-! Cthulhu burst out laughing and stretched out his tentacles at me again. This time he never had to use defense.
Chow la la la rock-!
The hawk hovering around me and flying with me was taking care of the tentacles.
[Huh?]
Cthulhu admired. There wasn’t much distance left with him.
[Can you stop this too?]
As Cthulhu said that, the tentacles the size of my forearms grew thicker and thicker. Before long, tentacles the size of a log flew towards me.
Chow-! The translucent hawk cut off its tentacles as it had just done. But this time I couldn’t cut it completely. The half-cut tentacles wriggled and entangled the rod.
It didn’t last long and the hawk disappeared. At the same time as the falcon disappeared, a new falcon appeared around me, but I was helpless in front of Cthulhu’s tentacles, which began to use their strength one step further.
‘It’s really fucked up.’
Also, that kid was playing with me. In order to extract a little more depth of despair from me.
‘Ivory magic.’
‘The Second Coming of the Little Match Girl.’
‘The Second Coming of Superman.’
‘The captain of the ghost ship.’
He continued to change special psychic powers and opened the way to Cthulhu. How many hours, no, how many minutes had passed?
[You are finally here.]
I succeeded in standing in front of Cthulhu. Eight red eyes stared at me.
‘Whoa… Fuck.’
When I thought about what I was going to do in the future, I cursed myself. Looking closer, I could tell. Cthulhu’s body, even the eight red eyes that felt that distant despair, were all made up of tentacles.
Tentacles the size of a continent were intertwined with each other. Are there any other creatures so disgusting?
And I had to throw myself into that pile of tentacles.
“I’ll kill you, Cthulhu.”
[I will eat you, the giant of chaos.]
Into the tentacles, he threw himself at Cthulhu.
*****
Aaaaa!
The feel of the slippery tentacles passing over my body was more terrifying than I could have imagined. I wanted to scream, but I couldn’t open my mouth.
If you open your mouth, the tentacles will enter your mouth.
I forcibly ignored the horrible feeling and focused my mind.
‘… I can feel it.’
It felt familiar from Cthulhu.
Siren, Gina, and Flame location.
I could feel the energy of my women, absorbed by Cthulhu earlier. Although the body has become part of the creature, the soul has not yet been absorbed.
And beyond that, he succeeded in detecting a very familiar aura.
An aura of chaos, where good and evil are intertwined.
It was a part of my body absorbed by him 300 years ago.
There was no tentacle that was not imbued with the power of chaos. It was Cthulhu that swallowed my body very sparingly.
Chaos was not felt only in Cthulhu. Even in the distant Dark City, the power of chaos was felt.
It was also felt by the monsters who absorbed Cthulhu’s chaos and the ‘unlucky’ that split their power into very fine pieces.
I couldn’t feel it before I regained my body, but now I can clearly feel my power even among monsters.
‘… Come.’
Whispered to the chaos that slumbers within Cthulhu, to my half.
Did my voice not reach you? Didn’t react.
‘Come to me.’
But I didn’t give up. If not once, then twice, if not twice, three times, four times, five times, six times… I kept calling out.
Chaos is the source of life that started with the birth of this world, no, this universe.
How are there good people? How can there be evil people?
It is because chaos contains both good and evil that humans can be either good or bad.
And Cthulhu… Was like the embodiment of evil.
He was a being who drove countless worlds into despair and ruined them for his own infinite growth.
Evil incarnate Cthulhu.
That’s why I was able to embrace him.
Because evil was also part of me.
So I was able to get it back.
Part of me.
‘Come back to where you belong!’
… Wriggle!
Chaos, which had finally become part of Cthulhu, responded to my whisper, my power.
‘This way. Come back soon.’
He continued to whisper so that he could become a beacon in the darkness of evil where he could not see an inch ahead. Following my whispers, chaos began to move.
[Muh, what are you doing!]
Cthulhu let out a panicked voice for the first time, probably feeling that something unusual was about to happen.
Cthulhu was taken aback.
Hehe, haha!’
I couldn’t hold back the laughter. Of course, I didn’t open my mouth. The tentacles will come into your mouth.
Swoop-
A part of the chaos that had been following my whisper finally reached my body. Chaos was absorbed into my body without the slightest hesitation.
[This guy! No way!]
The pressure on the body intensified. I was thinking of getting rid of me before I do anything weird.
Awesome-!
‘Mmmm!’
Arm is broken Broken bones protruded through the flesh.
Swoop-
Part of the chaos drawn by my whispers returned.
Awesome-!
The leg is broken. The leg bent in a direction it shouldn’t have.
Swoop-
Some of the chaos has returned.
[No! This is not it! It’s mine! I mean mine! This is impossible!]
300 years ago, he screamed Cthulhu at the sight of the chaotic power he had absorbed returning to me. His voice trembled with fear.
If Cthulhu was stronger than the intact chaos giant, he would just absorb it without needing to plot such a scheme.
But he didn’t.
Why?
That was natural.
This is because the giant of chaos, the giant of perfect chaos, is stronger than Cthulhu. Because I was stronger than him, he devised a scheme to absorb me.
So he is afraid.
That I become a complete chaotic giant.
Awesome-! Awesome-! Awesome-! Awesome-!
As if to represent his fear, the tentacles crushed and shattered my body without hesitation. It was very ugly to see the bones protruding through the flesh.
‘This is how it works.’
To be honest, I had a plan, but I wasn’t sure if it would work or not.
If Cthulhu had completely absorbed my powers, my attempts would have been futile. I would have been absorbed by him and the world would have been destroyed.
But it’s okay.
Because my gamble paid off.
[You are my food, the giant of chaos!!!]
Kwajik-!
My body is broken
*****
“What’s going on?”
“Brother…”
“Master. Cheer up. Please come back even if you get rid of that monster. Then I will serve you wholeheartedly. So please come back safely.”
The women of the Dark Knight looked up at the sky with impatient faces.
The black sky fluctuated constantly. A scream that seemed to destroy the world resounded.
The more I did, the more I worried about my man who had entered the black sky on his own.
————!
It was then.
“Ah…”
“The monster…”
The black sky split in half, just as the sky split and the tentacled monster appeared. And from within, something bigger than Mount Tai came down.
It had a head, body, and limbs like a human. He had white and black skin.
Giant.
Yes, that was a giant.
Squeak-
And the giant born in the black sky was getting smaller and smaller. It got smaller and smaller again and took on a human shape.
“… Ah.”
“Brother, brother…”
“Hooray! Long live the master!”
He was too far away to see his face, but the women could tell.
That he is the man he loves.
A ray of light broke through the darkness and illuminated him.
It was as if he was saying that a ray of hope had descended into this world.
