Chapter 493: Heading to the Undersea City

"The situation is not very good; just now, the Deep Ones almost surrounded the entire Gonggong."

"When the Leviathan Whale used its drill horn just now, the Deep Ones were startled and scattered in all directions."

"According to the radar detection results, the number of Deep Ones just now was nearly one thousand."

"We suspect that the Abyss Gate has already been opened by the Deep Ones."

Ye Shuang said with some unease.

She did not know how great an impact the opening of the Abyss Gate would have on the Yan Country.

"Do not worry, we still have a backup plan."

"Lan Fa, summon the Sinful Mirror Girl and replicate Tian'an."

"Little Martial Uncle, you protect the safety of Tian'an."

"Let the Deep Ones go and never return; only then can we dive into the Undersea City and take the opportunity to shatter the Abyss Gate."

At this moment, Octopus Brother Hastur crawled out from somewhere; during the battle just now, there was absolutely no sign of it, and it was unknown where it had been hiding.

"I have already sensed that Cthulhu's Clone has descended; simply shattering the Abyss Gate will have little effect, as Cthulhu can fully utilize divine power to re-condense the Abyss Gate."

"We must send Cthulhu's Clone back to be able to protect this planet."

Hastur put on an appearance of righteous indignation, as if Cthulhu were the alien invasive species.

"Then Hastur, what high opinion do you have?"

"Can you provide some specific intelligence?"

"For example, at what level is the strength of Cthulhu's Clone?"

Hastur rolled its eyes and placed a tentacle to its mouth; it seemed to be thinking about how to answer in a way that would be more favorable to itself.

"Its Clone is on par with a Weak Divine Power."

"However, on Blue Star, its power is restricted; it cannot act as it pleases, otherwise, it might be expelled from Blue Star."

After hearing this sentence from Hastur, Ye Bai's eyes lit up: "Then can we lure Cthulhu into acting, thereby letting the Blue Star consciousness expel it?"

Hastur shook its head, its eyes widening: "Don't even think about it; before Cthulhu is sent back, it can completely kill you."

"If it is provoked, it will definitely cause a massive commotion, and by then, you won't be able to clean up the mess."

"Your little life will be crushed by him."

Ye Bai was very puzzled after hearing this; a deity with Weak Divine Power is not something a small fry like himself can handle.

On Blue Star, it can be said to be the most powerful force.

Even if the Yan Country possesses the ability to trade blows with Cthulhu, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory.

Once he has exhausted all his trump cards, it is possible that some people who are itching for action will be unable to wait to strike at the Yan Country.

Coupled with the matter of the Sea God Abyss, Ye Bai does not want the Yan Country to suffer such a great catastrophe.

"Hastur, hurry and think of a way; if I have a hard time, you will also be implicated."

"You shouldn't want to be sent back to prison, right?"

Ye Bai signed a contract with Hastur; if it wants to stay on Blue Star, it needs to sign with a local native so that it won't be expelled by Blue Star.

"Hastur, you wouldn't be thinking of ditching me to go it alone, would you?"

"We are now grasshoppers on the same rope; don't forget, Cthulhu has the ability to kill me, so it also has the ability to kill you."

"You are mortal enemies to begin with."

"Helping me is helping yourself."

"Our Yan Country has a lot of delicious food that you can enjoy to your heart's content."

Ye Bai was analyzing this with Hastur.

After hearing this, Hastur finally made up its mind.

He intended to reveal Cthulhu's secret.

"You should know that Cthulhu is hailed as the God of the Deep Sea, the Sleeping God, and the Lord of Alaya, right?"

"When it invades other planes, it will perform a Cut on its own Soul, dividing it into many parts and casting them into various planes."

"In this way, Cthulhu's Soul is incomplete; if there is an expert proficient in the Soul, they can influence Cthulhu's Soul."

"Moreover, even if Cthulhu's Clone descends to Blue Star, its Clone will be asleep most of the time."

"It will hand over its authority to the Deep One High Priest, who is the true leader opening up territory for it."

"As Old Ones, we do not need the power of faith; we rely on our own abilities to reign supreme."

"But later we discovered that the power of faith can improve our strength and enhance our mental power, so we stopped the slaughter and turned the intelligent creatures of each plane into our believers."

When Hastur said this, Ye Bai understood.

Although Cthulhu has descended to Blue Star, it has restrictions, and it is asleep most of the time, so it basically will not interfere with Ye Bai's plan.

As long as he closes the Abyss Gate and kills the Deep One High Priest, he can achieve a phased victory; as for how to invite Cthulhu out, that is another task.

"I want to know if Cthulhu has any weaknesses."

Hastur has been in a love-hate relationship with Cthulhu for so many years, so it must know some intelligence about Cthulhu.

"It has almost no weaknesses; if you have to force a weakness, there is one point I must tell you, and that is about Cthulhu's Soul."

"I told you just now that Cthulhu's Soul is incomplete."

"Under normal circumstances, it is equivalent to a large divine power battery, allowing the Deep One High Priest to use its divine power at will."

"As long as the Deep One High Priest can provide it with enough power of faith, it will give the Deep One High Priest respect."

"If the power of faith provided is insufficient or reduced, then the Deep One High Priest will be abandoned by Cthulhu."

Hastur did provide a new line of thought.

That is to seize Cthulhu's power of faith.

At this time, the Leviathan Whale waved its tail, stirring up currents of dark water.

The Gonggong was affected by the undercurrent, shaking violently in the deep sea.

The Deep Ones were swept one after another into the undercurrent by the Leviathan whale.

Before long, a mass of black blood rapidly spread through the undercurrent.

"Coming here this time, the harvest is quite large; I have harvested the Leviathan whale I have been longing for."

"With this, I can build a Starry Giant Ship and roam the Xingjie."

"If I could find the hidden treasure of the gods, that would be even better."

"If I could find a godhood, I might be able to ascend to the heavens in a single step."

"Little martial niece, my goal has been achieved, so I am going to run away; you will have to fend for yourself."

"If you die here, it can only mean that your fortune is thin."

The Leviathan whale disappeared into the darkness of the deep sea.

The Deep Ones gathered around again.

"Ye Bai, those Deep Ones have surrounded us."

Ye Shuang reminded him hurriedly.

The radar of the Gonggong began to work rapidly, and the entire screen was covered with dense red dots.

"Very good, exactly as I predicted."

"Lan Fa, has the clone of Zhang Tian'an been replicated yet?"

At this moment, a lifelike person emerged from the mirror of the Sin Mirror Lady.

"Zhang Tian'an, this is your clone."

"Teach her to learn the Extinction Song."

"You and she are independent entities, so if you let the clone use the Extinction Song, it will absolutely not cause you to fall into a deep sleep again."

"Do you understand what I said?"

Zhang Tian'an understood Ye Bai's meaning, and she looked at Ye Bai with immense gratitude.

"Thank you for coming up with such a bug."

"However, can these clones replicate my talent?"

"The Extinction Song can only be used when paired with my talent."

Lan Fa said with a chuckle from the side: "We have already experimented with this."

"However, the Clone produced can only exist for fifteen minutes, and I have to use a large amount of crystal cores to maintain the Clone."

"Sin Mirror Lady, this concerns the life and death of the Yan Country, so you must do your best."

The clone appeared, Zhang Tian'an and the clone looked at each other, and the two understood each other's intentions.

"Come, connect the sonar system to the microphone; the Extinction Song will begin very soon."

The deep sea was pitch black all around.

The Necromancer lay on the seabed in a sorry state, the super-giant Skeleton King's entire body shattered, sinking into the trench.

He had risked his life to come and recover the super-giant Skeleton King.

The Necromancer felt that he was a tragedy.

The Blood Pool he had painstakingly refined—was snatched away.

The blood-colored Skeleton King he had painstakingly refined—defected (it was transformed by Ye Bai's Blood Pool blood flood dragon).

The super-giant Skeleton King he had painstakingly refined—was torn to pieces.

At this moment, his heart seemed to have shattered along with the super-giant Skeleton King.

Having exhausted all his trump cards, the Necromancer was almost driven to a dead end by the Star Sage.

After I return to the Gospel Society, I must seal up my Great Graveyard, and I will hide in the Great Graveyard for a few decades.

After the world is at peace, I will come out again.

The Necromancer intended to close the country and go into seclusion, ignoring affairs outside the window, and honestly survive to the end.

"Phew, now I have to recover the super-giant Skeleton King, otherwise I will be an empty shell of a soldier with no subordinates at all."

"Star Sage, I will absolutely, absolutely not let you off."

"When I return to the Gospel Society, I will directly ruin your reputation."

"I will have you expelled, making you like a rat in a gutter, unable to see the light."

The Necromancer muttered, approaching the super-giant Skeleton King in a sorry state; in the time just wasted, many more fragments of the super-giant Skeleton King had fallen deeper into the trench.

The clone was in position, and Zhang Tian'an gave the clone a lead.

An ethereal voice rang out in the control room and, through the sonar equipment, spread toward the direction of the seabed.

After the Deep Ones heard the sound, they suddenly revealed an extremely painful expression.

They dropped the harpoons and sharp blades in their hands, clutching their heads and struggling violently on the seabed.

Their heads felt as if they were being pricked by thousands of needles, and at the same time, there was a sensation of swelling pain.

Some Deep Ones with lower strength had their heads burst open one after another like watermelons.

Black blood spread rapidly on the seabed.

Many Deep Ones struggled and swam toward the location of the Undersea City.

But many Deep Ones fell halfway there.

"Let's chase after them; we must clear away the arms of Cthulhu."

Ye Bai said indifferently.

But Ye Shuang did not agree with this suggestion.

"Ye Bai, you should know that this place is extremely close to the Great Triangle."

"If the instruments on the ship malfunction, it will be a huge loss for us."

"The Gonggong could sink directly into the trench."

"Moreover, we are not familiar with the surrounding environment; if we are led by the Deep Ones to a dangerous place, our safety will have no guarantee."

Ye Bai also understood Ye Shuang's predicament; it was just that those Deep Ones were too good at picking locations.

"Hoo, Lan Fa, increase the progress of the replication."

"We must slaughter some more before the Deep Ones leave the sonar range."

Lan Fa was cloning Zhang Tian'an's Clone with his Pet Beast.

Just then, the previously separated Clone dissipated with a boom, and the newly separated Clone hurriedly sat up and began a new round of chanting.

"Lan Fa, Yun Luo, Zhang Tian'an."

"I will go ahead to scout the path first."

"You don't need to worry about me; I have the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican and can definitely escape."

"I must figure out where the Undersea City established by the Deep Ones is located."

"With the strength of the three of you, the Deep Ones cannot do anything to you at all."

Lan Fa patted Ye Bai on the shoulder and said with a solemn face, "Brother, leave this place to me."

"I guarantee I will send them back safely."

A staff member brought Ye Bai to a corner of the Gonggong, where there was a Human-Powered Two-Wheeled Submarine.

It relied entirely on pedaling like a bicycle to supply power.

But for Ye Bai, this was not much of a problem, because the Heavy Water Butterflies could act as trackers and pull the submarine from the front.

Ye Bai only had one request, which was to install several long super-alloy chains in front of the submarine.

In the deep sea.

A swordfish-shaped submarine was being pulled by four Heavy Water Butterflies, gritting their teeth.

There were two more Heavy Water Butterflies behind pushing the submarine.

The gliding speed of the Heavy Water Butterflies in the sea was faster than a swordfish.

If one really had to pick out some faults, it was that it was too bumpy.

Inside the submarine, Ye Bai was shaking so much that he was about to vomit his dinner from the night before.

Hastur was lying on the ground, lazily motionless; it was clearly seasick too.

"Myriad Transformation Butterfly, transform into the True Guangming Nüshen Die and use Holy Light Protection."

Ye Bai endured with his last bit of strength to let the Myriad Transformation Butterfly transform into the True Guangming Nüshen Die.

Rays of Holy Light fell upon Ye Bai, and he was instantly purged of negative status effects, feeling much better in spirit.

"Sure enough, just as I imagined."

"Holy Light Protection can purge negative status effects."

Hastur stretched out its tentacles and struggled violently: "Quick, quick, cast a Holy Light Protection on me too."

"I'm so dizzy I can't stand it."

"Damn it, this Clone actually gets seasick."

"I can't take it anymore."

At the last moment, the Myriad Transformation Butterfly released the Holy Light Protection.

Hastur looked as if it had been encased in a capsule, its fat body shrinking tightly within the Holy Light Protection.

"Geez, couldn't you have made the Holy Light Protection a bit bigger?"

"I'm not dizzy anymore, but I'm about to suffocate."

Hastur said irritably.

"Myriad Transformation Butterfly, make it bigger for Hastur."

"It possesses the method to deal with Cthulhu and is also a main combat force."

"Perhaps it can even help you evolve into a Myriad Phenomenon Butterfly."

Upon hearing this, the Myriad Transformation Butterfly then expanded the range of the Holy Light Protection.

It had been stuck at the Seven-Tier Peak for some time, and its inability to evolve or advance made it restless, to the point that even its appetite had decreased somewhat recently.
