Chapter 479: Cthulhu Demon

This was the Sun Flower Fairy making a move.

A massive amount of intense light shone down on the Pet Beasts of the Hundred-Change Star Lord, causing large amounts of black smoke to rise.

Their bodies were twisting crazily, yet they were still easily pierced by the vines, which gouged out their crystal cores.

The corpses of the Pet Beasts were absorbed by the Clone of the Sun Flower Fairy, condensing into a pitch-black fruit.

Looking at the Pet Beasts that died with their eyes wide open, the Hundred-Change Star Lord's eyes were bulging; the sudden death of the Pet Beasts caused a backlash from the contract, making the Hundred-Change Star Lord spray a large mouthful of blood directly from his mouth.

"You, you, you!"

"Who on earth are you!!!"

The Hundred-Change Star Lord felt that Ye Bai was not an ordinary person.

Otherwise, how could he have investigated the fact that he had forged documents?

These documents had all been tampered with by him; if one were not someone from above, it would be impossible to obtain the originals.

"Noisy, I already said, I am a plain and unremarkable Pet Beast Master."

The Sun Flower Fairy tightly plugged the Hundred-Change Star Lord's mouth.

"You all investigate with full effort later regarding the confidants of the Hundred-Change Star Lord, and see if they have been turned."

"Qiang Sha, report the current status of the Abyss Gate in Peng City."

Qiang Sha felt an astonishing aura from Ye Bai.

Added to the fact that Ye Bai held that Token of the Yellow Dragon Marshal in his hand, Qiang Sha was very polite to Ye Bai.

"Let me report the current situation to you."

"The Abyss Gate of Peng City is on the sea surface 700 nautical miles away from Peng City."

"This Abyss Gate is releasing a large number of deep-sea Cthulhu demons."

"This is a type of demon that looks like a jellyfish, with tentacles all over its body."

"After coming into contact with them, one's Sanity Value will decrease."

"Currently, these demons are heading toward the sea area of Peng City, and the islanders of several small islands have already been turned into deformed monsters by the demons."

Qiang Sha reported the current predicament to Ye Bai.

"The current situation is very difficult; I am aware of this situation."

"But even if it is difficult, there is one thing everyone must know: trust the high-level officials of the Yan Country."

"How about this: the presidents of the Pet Beast Unions of the various cities will select an elite squad, preferably those with special talents, such as mental immunity, demon manipulation, and the like."

"We will go over and meet them."

"The others will return to their cities to stand guard; if it is discovered that an Abyss Gate has appeared in your jurisdiction again, report it in a timely manner."

"We are adjourned."

"Qiang Sha, Tank, you two stay with me to handle this matter."

After everyone dispersed, Qiang Sha was very curious about what position Ye Bai currently held.

Ye Bai took out a Token, on which were the two large characters: Greedy Wolf.

"I am currently under the command of the Yellow Dragon Marshal, in the special operations team—Greedy Wolf Star of the Big Dipper."

Qiang Sha and Tank's eyes lit up; Ye Bai seemed to be very powerful.

"We were deceived by the Hundred-Change Star Lord for so long, otherwise the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union would not have developed into this state."

"I suspect that the Abyss Gate might also have been opened by people from the Sakura Country."

"Ever since this guy took office, Yandong Province has frequently encountered attacks from Abyss Gates; it should be that guy conducting tests."

Qiang Sha said indignantly.

"Relax, relax, our most important task now is to close the Abyss Gate and drive the Abyss demons back to Hell."

"However, Cthulhu demons are much more troublesome than ordinary demons."

"I am currently lacking materials to conduct corresponding research."

Ye Bai smiled.

"Ye Bai, this time you returned to Yandong Province, is there anything you need us to fully cooperate with?"

Qiang Sha rubbed her hands.

"This time I am just revisiting an old haunt; no one else knows that I have come to Yandong Province, so my movements and trajectory must be kept secret."

"Just like this incident; if I hadn't come here, I really wouldn't have discovered that people from the Sakura Country had actually tampered with the data and sat in the position of the president of the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union."

"This is simply a huge joke to the world."

"I have already reported it to the Yellow Dragon Marshal; next, we will conduct self-inspections to ensure that such a phenomenon will not happen again."

"Qiang Sha, this time we will form a squad; you are responsible for serving as the team leader and mobilizing all the manpower that can be mobilized."

"I will first go deep into the enemy's lair to check the current situation; if the situation is unfavorable, we will invite the Twelve Pillars of the Nation or even the Marshals to take action as early as possible."

Qiang Sha nodded; she was the president of the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union, and only with her arranging the personnel mobilization would it appear legitimate.

"I understand, Ye Bai, you should also be careful on your side."

"Cthulhu demons are not that easy to deal with."

After saying this, Ye Bai snapped his fingers and disappeared from the scene together with the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican.

After the Yellow Dragon Marshal learned that Ye Bai had discovered such important intelligence just after patrolling, he hurriedly summoned the other five Marshals to hold a Round Table Conference.

"Yellow Dragon, you summoned us in such a rush, is there something the matter?"

The Azure Dragon Marshal was currently busy and overwhelmed, so his tone was naturally not that good.

"Just now Ye Bai went to Yandong Province, and he uncovered a very major matter, which he just reported to me."

"This matter is not easy to handle."

The Yellow Dragon Marshal's expression became incomparably gloomy.

"Is there something even you, Huang Long, cannot handle?"

The Azure Dragon Marshal was skeptical.

"Hmph, the Hundred-Change Star Lord from Sakura Country disguised himself as the president of the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union, even forging the official documents, and ended up fooling a whole group of people."

"The people at the Yandong Province Beast Tamer Union were all being played for fools."

"Currently, a massive Abyss Gate has appeared in Peng City, and many Cthulhu-style demons have rushed out from within."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a few seconds.

This was truly a very serious matter; the key was that they also did not know how many people had infiltrated.

"It seems that letting Ye Bai participate in the patrol was indeed a brilliant move; all sorts of monsters and demons have appeared."

"People from the little Sakura Country actually dare to impersonate our cadres; there must be an inside traitor helping them present identification."

"Since that is the case, there is no other way; let's investigate everyone."

"Let the purge operation begin immediately."

The Six Marshals made the final decision and began the purge plan.

"Additionally, regarding the appearance of the Cthulhu-style demons, should we send someone to support Ye Bai?"

"Or can Ye Bai handle this group of demons alone?"

Qilin Marshal suddenly asked.

"Ye Bai should be able to handle it; otherwise, given his personality, he would have sent a message for help long ago."

"Currently, the Twelve Pillars of the Nation all have missions, and not one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions is free either."

"If a problem arises on Ye Bai's end, then Huang Long, you go take a trip."

The various Marshals reached a consensus.

At this moment, on a small island 700 nautical miles from Peng City, there was an Abyss Gate towering into the clouds.

Inside, it connected to the region where Cthulhu-style demons lived: the Sea of Distortion.

The spiritual corruption level of Cthulhu-style demons is extremely high.

They not only devour humans but also devour other demons.

Once the Sanity Value check is passed, a Cthulhu-style demon will directly Parasite onto another demon, turning it into a puppet for its own use.

These puppets all have one characteristic: their bodies are covered in disgusting tentacles.

An incredibly massive Deep Sea Cthulhu demon was resting in the lake on the small island.

The originally sunny and beautiful island had been polluted by this demon; a large number of plants had distorted, and dark clouds loomed overhead.

A person dressed as a ninja was slowly walking toward the lake; excluding the tentacles constantly writhing on his body and the third eye on his forehead, he could still be considered a normal person.

A huge black shadow emerged from the lake, kicking up giant waves; a large amount of water fell from the shadow's body, sliding back into the lake.

"You are in such a hurry to wake me from my slumber; if you have not provided useful intelligence, I will devour your Soul."

The deep-sea demon was covered in tentacles and had countless dense eyes.

Its head looked like that of a jellyfish, and this Cthulhu-style demon held a giant trident in its hand.

"Great Lord of the Deep Sea, I apologize for disturbing your long sleep; I have a piece of intelligence here."

"Our infiltration plan has failed; the Hundred-Change Star Lord has already been killed by someone."

"Currently, many Pet Beast Masters are swarming in this direction; my God, do you need to evade them?"

After hearing Wind Demon Kojiro's words, the Lord of the Deep Sea was extremely furious; it raised its massive tentacles, stirring up wind and rain in the lake.

"Mere humans, mere Pet Beast Masters, and you want me to evade? Wind Demon Kojiro, you truly underestimate me; this really makes me very unhappy."

"You must know that I am the Lord of the Deep Sea; I have many subordinates I can dispatch; mere humans are not worth mentioning at all."

"Wind Demon Kojiro, if there is no valuable intelligence, do not speak to me; I will let it slide this time, and I forgive your rudeness."

Wind Demon Kojiro intended to say something more, but at this moment, the Lord of the Deep Sea had already slowly sunk beneath the water.

At this time, other island residents who had been distorted walked up.

One by one, they no longer had human characteristics, but instead, their bodies were covered in a large number of tentacles.

"Our God has been threatened; we must spare no cost to stop those humans."

"We cannot let humans disturb our God."

Wind Demon Kojiro blew a conch shell, and two massive winged demons flew out from the Abyss Gate.

Their faces were full of tentacles.

"Let's go, let's go meet the humans."

Ye Bai and the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican used Space Transfer in succession and soon arrived at an island not far from the Abyss Gate.

However, they discovered that the islanders here had already been turned into Cthulhu-style demons.

This was the power of Cthulhu-style demons; they only needed to cast a curse to arbitrarily transform any life form.

Cthulhu-style demons rely on human fear to continuously expand their own kind.

Upon seeing Ye Bai, several large meat buds suddenly sprouted on the backs of these Cthulhu-style demons.

The meat buds then ruptured, forming pairs of bat wings.

Ye Bai carefully observed the surrounding trees, which had all taken on twisted shapes, proving that these trees had already been defiled by the Cthulhu-style demons.

"Myriad-Change Butterfly, be careful."

Ye Bai released the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

One after another, Giant Rock Butterfly Emperors blocked the front of the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

However, before even coming into contact with these distorted humans, whiskers actually grew on the bodies of the Giant Rock Butterfly Emperors, which made Ye Bai feel somewhat terrified.

"Myriad-Change Butterfly, what exactly is going on? The Giant Rock Butterfly Emperor is clearly your Clone; how could its corruption level be so high, and how was it invaded by the Cthulhu-style demons?"

Ye Bai was somewhat puzzled.

"Forget it, transform into the True Light Goddess Clone."

"Cast Holy Light Illumination."

The moment the Giant Rock Butterfly Emperor transformed into the True Light Goddess Clone, the tentacles growing on its body were all severed as if by a sharp blade.

This made Ye Bai feel it was more or less incredible.

Cthulhu-style demons are very famous, but there are very few people or demons who study them.

After all, this guy has to undergo a Sanity Value check from time to time; once it drops below the original value, there is a possibility of being cursed, eventually turning into this kind of neither-human-nor-ghost monster.

Holy Light Illumination is truly worthy of being a field-clearing skill.

With just one Holy Light Illumination, a large amount of black smoke erupted from the bodies of many Cthulhu-style demons.

The blinding light also made them extremely uncomfortable.

They were seen twisting and turning into black smoke, disappearing without a trace.

"It seems there is basically no need to rescue the people on the surrounding islands."

"All-Change Butterfly, release the form, let's go."

Just as the All-Change Butterfly was about to release its current True Light Goddess form.

The sky suddenly darkened quite a bit; Ye Bai looked up and saw two Cthulhu-style demons resembling flying dragons appearing in the sky above.

Wind Demon Kojiro, sitting on the back of a Cthulhu-style demon, revealed a cold smile.

"You actually dare to ruin the Lord's plan."

"Let me meet you myself."

The flying dragon opened its mouth, and rays of green light gathered within it.

Before it could even spray its Dragon Breath, the Bronze Ancient Sword charged directly into its mouth.

The tentacles on the flying dragon's body were cleared away a bit, but they soon grew back.

"It's useless. These two flying dragons were bestowed upon us by the gods; they are impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire."

"You shouldn't waste your effort; just surrender obediently."

"If you two can become the vanguard of the anti-human army, I can let you keep your human forms."

Before Wind Demon Kojiro could finish speaking.

The flying dragon he was sitting on was directly sliced into countless pieces.

Even the tentacles parasitic on the flying dragon were cleared away in an instant.

A section of a tree stump fell from high altitude, and Wind Demon Kojiro appeared in another location.

"It's a good thing I learned the Substitution Technique, otherwise I would have been finished by you."

"Luckily, luckily."

Wind Demon Kojiro clapped his hands, and a spatial ripple appeared behind him.

More and more Cthulhu-style demons squeezed out from the spatial ripple.

"I have already obtained the promise of the Deep Sea King; his authority is in my hands."

"Even if you are powerful, two fists are no match for four hands."

The levels of Cthulhu-style demons vary, depending mainly on the strength of the host before they were parasitized.

"Hmph, Sunflower Fairy, you go first to lead the charge."

"All-Change Butterfly, cast Holy Light Barrier to protect my safety."

After all, the abilities of Cthulhu-style demons are quite Weird, and Ye Bai felt that protecting his own safety was the most important thing.

A milky-white light shield appeared on Ye Bai's body.

Countless vines, under the manipulation of the Sunflower Fairy, formed a Vine Sea.

After they rushed out of the ground, they intertwined with each other to form huge Clones.

Facing the surging army of Cthulhu-style demons, the Clones directly swung their fists and smashed down.
