Chapter 483: The Gonggong

Hastur in Yellow is also known as the Lord of Lies; he always speaks in half-truths.

Ye Bai was forced to sign the contract, and he felt slightly displeased in his heart.

He was afraid that he would be mutated by Hastur.

"If you are truly afraid of being mutated by me, just see if tentacles start growing on your body."

"My believers will all eventually be transformed by me into this appearance."

"You have no idea how great it feels to be an octopus-man."

Hastur was clearly an octopus enthusiast.

"I have already occupied your Tenth Contract."

"This way, you won't be able to continue contracting Exotic Beasts when you reach the Tenth-tier, but I will compensate you."

Ye Bai did not believe this god full of nonsense at all.

When he immersed his mind into his sea of consciousness, he was surprised to find that a chibi octopus icon had indeed appeared in his Tenth Contract.

"Haha, I told you, yet you still didn't believe me."

"Rest assured, this Clone of mine is only First-tier and will not have any impact on you."

"If my true form were to contract with you, you would be mutated by my true form at any time and place, turning into my believer."

Upon hearing these words from Hastur, Ye Bai felt that signing an Equal Contract with Hastur was like having a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

"Don't worry, don't worry."

"I still have to rely on you; if you were mutated, those people in the Yan Country would have long since noticed you becoming a non-human creature."

"You think this sword of yours is just for show?"

"Once you are mutated into a non-human, this sword will slay you."

"Having lost the contract, I would only be sent back to that dark and sunless Black Goat Prison."

"I certainly don't want to turn into that."

Hastur wore a pitiful expression.

"Since you have already used methods to sign a contract with me, you must tell me about your weaknesses."

"Especially the Deep Ones."

"Where are their weak points?"

"I remember you are hostile toward the Lord of the Deep Sea, the Lord of Alaya, Cthulhu."

Hastur shook his head: "Yes, that is also correct."

"Who else can I rely on but you?"

"Actually, the Deep Ones are 'Worker Ants' created by Cthulhu, existing specifically to collect faith power for Cthulhu and build the Abyss Gate."

"A scale on their forehead is their weak point."

"As long as you break that scale, you can pierce into their brain."

"Of course, the average person wouldn't do this because that scale is too small."

"Moreover, the Deep Ones have extremely high melee combat capabilities."

"The average person simply cannot get close to them."

Hastur said to Ye Bai with his hands behind his back.

"There is another way, and that is sound waves."

"The Deep Ones cannot withstand high-frequency sound waves; once they hear them, their heads will burst open one after another."

"I once used this trick to destroy Cthulhu's believers."

Hastur revealed a smug look.

"Fine, I will go test the intelligence you provided."

"You need to do me a favor here."

"I need to find the gathering place of the Deep Ones, or more accurately, the place where the Deep Ones are building a new Abyss Gate."

After hearing this, Hastur's comical eyes rolled around, seemingly thinking about something.

"Fine, absolutely no problem, I can agree to that."

"But there is one thing: I need the spoils of war."

"I am too weak after escaping from prison and need to replenish my faith."

"In the process of building the Abyss Gate, the Deep Ones will also build a Prayer Platform."

"They will pray to Cthulhu and offer their own faith power."

"I can take the opportunity to steal Cthulhu's faith power."

Hastur's eyes rolled; he and Cthulhu were mortal enemies who could not stand each other.

"In that case, it's a deal."

Although Hastur is the Prince of Lies, he has one good quality: he keeps his word, and once he promises something, he will do it.

"Tian'an, come out for a moment."

After Ye Bai regained his focus, he called out Zhang Tian'an, who was experimenting.

"According to top-secret intelligence."

"The Deep Ones are sensitive to high-frequency sound waves; you are an expert in this area, and I would like to ask you to research it."

Zhang Tian'an nodded: "No problem, but we are about to head to the deep sea, and I'm afraid there won't be enough time."

Ye Bai thought for a moment: "How about this, just test a few common high-frequency sound waves; as long as they are within the appropriate range."

"Mastering the weaknesses of the Deep Ones is very important for us."

Since Ye Bai had said so, Zhang Tian'an could only do his best.

"By the way, Ye Bai, I want to ask a favor of you. I mentioned it to Principal Su Qingxian before; I want to find my older sister."

"She was the previous Heart Moon Fox, but after fighting the previous Blood Saint Child, her whereabouts became unknown."

"I want you to help me inquire about her whereabouts. I must see her if she is alive, or her body if she is dead."

Zhang Tian'an had pleaded with Ye Bai, and Ye Bai found it difficult to refuse.

He could only do his best to help Zhang Tian'an and reach out to everyone he knew.

"Alright, you go ahead and test properly first."

"Junior Martial Uncle, Lan Fa, you two as well; try to see what the Deep Ones are interested in."

Through the window, the Deep Ones stared at Ye Bai and the others with eyes like copper bells; they closed their eyes and knelt on the ground, praying.

"These Deep Ones want to offer their power of faith to Cthulhu."

"To want to sacrifice their own Soul—what a waste of heaven's gifts."

At this moment, Hastur was still quite weak and had no ability at all to stop these faiths from flowing into the void.

"Hastur, I want to ask, if these powers of faith disappear into thin air, will it let Cthulhu know the coordinates of our plane?"

"If a large-scale invasion of the plane happens then, it might be a huge problem."

Hastur shook his head: "You underestimate the Crystal Wall of Blue Star."

"Just this little bit of power of faith cannot penetrate the Crystal Wall at all; it will only attach to the Crystal Wall and deepen the barrier."

"Besides, Cthulhu has long known the coordinates here. What you just said is no different from taking off your pants to fart."

At this moment, someone came over.

Yun Luo walked over.

"Speaking of which, do you want to avoid being seen?" Ye Bai asked Hastur.

"Haha, no need. Mortals cannot see the physical form of a god."

At this moment, Yun Luo grabbed Hastur, who was on Ye Bai's shoulder.

"Ye Bai, you've contracted a new Exotic Beast again."

Yun Luo pinched Hastur's chubby little face, and Ye Bai was sweating profusely inside.

Ah, this, that is the King in Yellow, Hastur! How is it that in Yun Luo's hands, he is just like a doll?

Ye Bai dodged Hastur's pleading gaze; after all, he did not want his Junior Martial Uncle's gaze to fall upon him.

After all, the ability of a "crow's mouth" can be significant or trivial.

Sometimes, one can even choke on cold water.

"By the way, I just received instructions from the Yellow Dragon Marshal."

"The submarine Gonggong is ready and is currently over at the harbor."

"The Yellow Dragon Marshal's intention is for us to go over early to get familiar with the people inside the submarine."

Ye Bai shook his head: "Not for now. Have you forgotten my talent?"

"As long as I have seen a person once, I will never forget them."

"We can just set off two hours early tomorrow."

"By the way, I'm going to the cafeteria; I'll be right back."

He took Hastur directly from Yun Luo's arms and walked toward the cafeteria.

"Audacious mortal, how dare you defile the body of a god! I will curse you, curse you!"

Hastur screamed hysterically.

"I advise you not to harbor malice toward her, otherwise you will be the one in bad luck."

After hearing Ye Bai's words, Hastur was so angry he laughed.

"You, a dignified god—even if it is just a Clone—would not be affected by the interference of a curse."

Indignant, he jumped down from Ye Bai's shoulder.

Just as he was about to land, a huge black shadow rushed out from the side and bit Hastur.

"Stop, stop it! Heavens, so much saliva! Ugh, I can't take it anymore."

Hastur had never been so miserable; he started cursing loudly.

This black shadow had run out from another Laboratory; after it happened to see Hastur, it just opened its mouth and took a bite.

After Hastur was rescued, there was a large bite mark on his face, and his whole body was covered in saliva.

"I'm so mad, I'm really so mad! I, a dignified god, am actually this miserable."

Hastur's tentacles suddenly slipped, and he fell heavily to the ground with a *thud*.

"I'm so mad, I'm simply so mad!"

Hastur hurriedly climbed up from the ground, and then the fire sprinkler system suddenly broke.

The floor suddenly cracked, and a fire-type Pet Beast escaped from the Laboratory.

By the time Hastur entered the cafeteria, he was already bruised and battered.

At this time, he had completely lost his divine airs and looked obedient and honest.

He had to admit that he, a dignified god, would also be affected by a mortal's "crow's mouth."

Hastur felt that he had exhausted a lifetime's worth of bad luck today.

"This is the power of a conceptual god; even a god will be affected by a conceptual god."

Ye Bai brought over the food, and Hastur began to turn his grief and indignation into appetite, eating in large mouthfuls.

"Delicious, delicious."

Hastur's mouth was stuffed full, and he kept stuffing more in.

As a result, he accidentally choked and looked very miserable.

"Come, drink some water."

Just as Hastur picked up the cup, it shattered, and the water splashed toward his face, soaking him through and through.

Old Ha was helpless, Old Ha raised a white flag, Old Ha admitted defeat.

"You guy, you've been watching me make a fool of myself from the side the whole time without even giving me a heads-up."

Old Ha said indignantly, and Ye Bai held back his laughter.

"But for the sake of the good food, I'll give you another important piece of intelligence."

"You should know that the world we are in is currently attacking the High Abyss."

"We have already occupied one layer now; do you know why that is?"

"Because we used all the living demons on that entire layer as a sacrifice to summon an even more powerful Old One."

"Restricted by the limitations of the High Abyss, powerful gods are unable to enter."

"If the Old One is not summoned into the Abyss, once the other Demon Grand Dukes react, they will surround and annihilate us."

"At that time, our hard-won arrangements will be completely eradicated."

After listening, Ye Bai smiled; this was a conflict between the Old One and the Abyss.

As long as it didn't involve Blue Star, even if they fought until the heavens crumbled and the earth split, it was none of Ye Bai's business.

"Do you think the destruction of the Abyss is good for you?"

"Do you think it's just dogs biting dogs, leaving a mess of fur?"

"Once the Abyss is breached, the Angel Plane cannot stand idly by."

"Otherwise, they will be the next Abyss Plane."

At this moment, Ye Bai recalled that Hastur had once said he was being imprisoned.

"Since you are already imprisoned, how do you know about the conflict between the Abyss and your plane?"

Hastur said smugly: "I naturally have my own ways of knowing."

"Except for Cthulhu, I have quite a good relationship with the other Old Ones."

When Ye Bai returned, Zhang Tian'an was very happy to provide the test results.

"Ye Bai, you were right; high-frequency sound waves have a restraining effect on Deep Ones."

"And these sound waves can also propagate in water."

"I've tested it; it won't have much of an impact on humans."

Ye Bai nodded: "I will report this news to Yellow Dragon Marshal immediately."

"You all just wait for the commendation."

"We can deploy these Sonar Emitters in coastal cities."

"Once any Deep Ones sneak into the coastal cities, we will know immediately."

At this time, Yun Luo and Lan Fa also had a breakthrough.

They discovered that Deep Ones like a type of Fluorescent Squid.

"However, we haven't conducted tests yet, so we don't know how much of an attraction the Fluorescent Squid has for the Deep Ones."

"In the Laboratory, these Deep Ones will fight fiercely over the Fluorescent Squid."

Yun Luo said to Lan Fa.

"Very good, since that's the case, let's prepare to set off and go to the Gonggong first to get familiar with it."

The Gonggong submarine is the largest submarine in Yan Country.

One submarine can accommodate thousands of people.

It is also equipped with a missile launch system.

The explosive power of the missiles is several hundred times that of a Little Boy.

It is more than enough to destroy the underwater cities built by the Deep Ones.

The Captain of the Gonggong submarine is a heroic and spirited woman named Ye Shuang.

"Hello, welcome to guide our work."

Ye Shuang walked over and extended her hand.

"Haha, please also have Captain Ye cooperate with our work."

"This mission is top secret; everyone on the submarine must wear an Artificial Spiritual Power Orb and carry a Spiritual Power Potion at all times."

"We must not give the enemy any opportunity this time, otherwise, it would be a catastrophic disaster for our Yan Country, and even the entire Blue Star."

Ye Shuang nodded: "Regarding this matter, Yellow Dragon Marshal specifically instructed us that we must prioritize your opinion; you are the supreme commander of the entire submarine, and I am just here to help you command the submarine."

"Yellow Dragon Marshal also told us to listen more, watch more, and speak less."

Hearing Ye Shuang say this, Ye Bai also felt relieved.

"Rest assured, you are the Captain; I will absolutely not do anything like a layman commanding an expert."

"But we have a common goal, which is to work together to complete the mission assigned from above."
