Chapter 494: Entering the Undersea City

"Cough, I was almost suffocated just now."

"You little butterfly, you really are petty."

Hastur muttered.

This was only a Clone of his; if he had followed his usual hot temper, he would have crushed the Myriad-Changing Butterfly to death long ago.

"Forget it, I won't bicker with a little thing like you."

"We had better hurry and enter the Undersea City."

"I have a premonition that Cthulhu is about to awaken."

After hearing Hastur's words, Ye Bai also grew anxious.

If Cthulhu were to awaken, it would be an unprecedented catastrophe for them.

This would have a tremendous impact on the Yan Country.

"Myriad-Changing Butterfly, speed up; once Cthulhu awakens, we are all finished."

That guy is equivalent to a god of the current world; its strength has reached Weak Divine Power, and it will cause massive destruction to Blue Star.

Even if Blue Star reacts and sends it back, before it leaves, a casual act from it could cause heavy casualties in the Yan Country.

This was naturally something Ye Bai did not wish to see.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly urged its Clone on, and they shot forward like an arrow released from a bowstring.

All the Deep Sea Abyssal Beasts blocking the way were battered beyond recognition by the Myriad-Changing Butterfly.

Their bodies shattered instantly; Ye Bai sat in the submarine, feeling no different than being on a roller coaster.

Along with Hastur, his mouth was letting out "ahhh" screams.

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly remained inside the submarine, listening to the one human and one god howling, and curled its lip.

"Little brat, don't think that just because you're a god, you can boss me around."

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly muttered to itself.

"You still have to watch my mood to get things done."

"Now you know that being a person isn't easy, right?"

The submarine shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Not long after, a massive Undersea City appeared before their eyes.

The outer perimeter of the Undersea City was like a crystal dome, helping the Undersea City resist the invasion of external enemies.

"Stop, stop for me! If we crash directly into it, the submarine will fall apart, ahhhhh!"

Ye Bai hurriedly shouted for it to stop.

But the Myriad-Changing Butterfly revealed an awkward expression at this moment.

Just now, it had sent a telepathic message to its Clone.

Because the speed was too fast, the Clone had no way to stop.

It could only watch helplessly as the submarine crashed heavily into the Undersea City.

The Deep One High Priest suddenly opened its eyes, its right eyelid twitching constantly.

"Strange, what on earth has happened to make me, the Deep One High Priest, suddenly feel uneasy?"

"Humans shouldn't have tracked us here yet."

"Lord Cthulhu is about to awaken; we cannot have any accidents."

"Someone come! Go and check the status of the Vanguard Army and have them return to report immediately."

The Deep One High Priest looked toward the altar below.

The god stood tall in the high air like a massive building.

Its limbs were exceptionally thick and sturdy.

A large number of living creatures were captured by the Deep Ones, and countless sharp little knives were thrust directly into the prey's bodies.

The prey roared, blood flowing out in trickles toward the Blood Sacrifice array below.

Even Cthulhu, floating in the sky above, was affected; its originally transparent body was stained with layers of blood-red, looking extremely Weird.

"Lord Cthulhu is about to revive; this is a great opportunity for us to show our worth."

"Once Lord Cthulhu is resurrected, the entire Blue Star will become our territory."

"At that time, humans will become the livestock we raise."

The Deep One High Priest let out a long howl toward the sky.

With the Barrier set up by Lord Cthulhu, no one could pass through the Crystal Wall to enter here.

Ye Bai and Hastur hugged each other, looks of terror appearing on their faces.

We're going to crash, we're going to crash.

Oh my god, we're done for, we're really done for.

Just as the submarine was about to Impact the Barrier and was on the verge of falling to pieces, a distinct Space Rift appeared.

This Space Rift even carried a trace of starlight.

"Thank heavens, Senior Martial Uncle has made a move."

"I thought my Senior Martial Uncle had really forgotten about us."

"Senior Martial Uncle is a good person after all."

Ye Bai said with immense emotion.

The submarine shot into the rift like an arrow released from a bowstring, and then, like a massive cannonball, it Impacted the tallest building in the Undersea City.

With a loud bang, the submarine was smashed to pieces and scattered from high above.

A large amount of debris flew out like bullets.

Some Deep Ones had not yet realized what was happening before their heads were blown apart by fragments.

"Damn it, the most elite warriors of our race, perishing like this before even dying on the battlefield."

"Investigate, keep investigating for me, and see exactly what happened."

A large amount of rubble fell from the building, and quite a few Deep Ones were hit squarely.

This was like a massive slap to the face, striking the Deep One High Priest hard.

This truly made him feel quite miserable.

"Hmph, I'm furious, I am truly furious."

"This is a direct provocation to my face."

"Could it be that humans have snuck in?"

"That shouldn't be possible; the Barrier maintained by Cthulhu cannot be broken by anyone who is not a god of the same rank."

"Where exactly did the problem arise?"

The Deep One High Priest was simply unable to fathom it.

Actually, this was not its fault; after all, a Deep One priest had once brought the Star Sage into the Deep Sea City.

The Star Sage had taken the opportunity to set up many teleportation points in the Deep Sea City.

It was precisely because the Star Sage had torn open a teleportation point just now that Ye Bai was able to rush in.

Just as the submarine was about to collide, Ye Bai summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican and crashed it directly into the submarine.

"Come out, Water Rabbit, help me with camouflage."

The Water Rabbit possesses the skill Protective Color, which allows it to use the Protective Color skill at any location in the water.

It can attach itself to Ye Bai's body and turn him into a transparent carrier.

"This ability of the Water Rabbit is simply a bug."

Ye Bai watched as one Deep One after another with serious expressions drifted past his body without noticing his presence, and he immediately felt relieved.

"Next, let's sneak into the Gongdian where the Deep One priest is located."

"Hastur, can I ask you for a favor, to let me understand the language of the Deep Ones?"

"You should be able to cast the Language Art, right?"

Ye Bai asked Hastur.

"I can, but after it's done, I need to obtain Cthulhu's divine power."

"Otherwise, I would be working for nothing."

"My body might dissipate, and then Cthulhu would discover the fact that I escaped from prison."

Hastur bargained with Ye Bai.

"No problem, I can agree to the demands you've set."

"However, there is one thing I hope you can do."

"That is to tell me the weakness of the altar and how to drive Cthulhu back to that plane."

After hearing Ye Bai's words, Hastur hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"Fine, I can agree to you."

"However, you cannot betray me."

"Otherwise, I will make you pay the price."

"You should believe that I have this capability."

Hastur threatened.

Thus, its body gradually emitted a yellow light, and Ye Bai suddenly understood the language of that world.

After Hastur finished casting the Language Art, its complexion suddenly turned deathly pale.

It went from being a yellow ping-pong ball to white.

"I used up a rare amount of my divine power this time; I've suffered a huge loss."

"No, I must reside in your body to rest for a while."

Hastur transformed into a stream of light and merged into Ye Bai's arm.

"Phew, let me tell you Cthulhu's weakness."

"There is a Soul Gem at the center of Cthulhu's brow."

"This is Cthulhu's weakness."

"However, to get this Soul Gem, you must find the Deep One High Priest and obtain the Scepter in its hand."

"As long as the Soul Gem falls into your hands, Cthulhu will be directly sent back."

Ye Bai understood what Hastur meant; it seemed that the Soul Gem was the key of keys.

Although he was nothing but a tiny, insignificant nobody when facing Cthulhu.

But if he could stop Cthulhu from wreaking havoc on the world, Ye Bai could sacrifice his seventy-plus kilograms of flesh.

Some people's deaths are heavier than Mount Tai, while others are lighter than a feather; someone must sacrifice, someone must pay, so that the Yan Country can survive one catastrophe after another.

When it truly came time for him to pay, Ye Bai would also choose to sacrifice himself.

"After all, I am the Greedy Wolf Star, the Greedy Wolf Star of the Big Dipper, and I have always had the duty to sweep away the treacherous and evil, and to eliminate violence and bring peace."

Ye Bai gathered his courage and resolutely followed behind squads of Deep Ones, wandering through the undersea Gongdian.

【1. The residence of the Deep One High Priest is in a very inconspicuous little house in the northeast corner. The outer wall there is covered with shells, and an octopus with eight legs cut off guards outside the little house. Inside are the treasures collected by the Deep One High Priest.】

【2. The Deep One High Priest believes in the "cunning rabbit has three burrows," so it did not store its treasures in one place, but instead hid them in various remote corners. The buried treasures are as shown in the image below.】

【3. The Deep One High Priest is the leader of the Deep Ones; killing it can leave the Deep Ones leaderless and can also prevent Cthulhu's awakening.】

【4. The staff in the Deep One High Priest's hand is crafted from dragon bone combined with Refined Gold and Mithril, possessing extremely strong Cthulhu power. This staff can be said to be the most precious treasure.】

The Clone of Cthulhu possesses divine power but lacks any consciousness; this is because the Deep One High Priest tampered with the summoning of Cthulhu through the Abyss Gate, causing its consciousness not to descend.

Actually, the Information System said so much, but it can be summarized in two sentences.

The Deep One High Priest must be killed by hand; once it is killed, Cthulhu will naturally dissipate from this world.

However, Hastur likely will not miss this opportunity, because Hastur wants to devour Cthulhu's divine power.

And this Clone, which possesses divine power but lacks any consciousness, is exactly what Hastur wants.

"After Hastur devours Cthulhu's divine power, will it turn around and not recognize me?"

"Do not forget, Hastur is also an existence on the same level as Cthulhu; it symbolizes the wind, it symbolizes the unconstrained wind."

Ye Bai secretly teased in his heart.

However, considering that Hastur exhausted its divine power to help him master the Language Art, it proves that Hastur truly wants to help him.

Ye Bai followed them to a magnificent Gongdian.

Here, the Deep One High Priest was discussing matters with other Deep Ones.

"I just received news that humans have developed some kind of secret weapon."

"The heads of our Deep One warriors have been blown apart."

"Everyone, tell me, how should we handle this?"

"If we handle it too lightly, there is no benefit for us."

"If we handle it too heavily, it is estimated that the people of Yan Country will all resist."

"Currently, Lord Cthulhu is in the stage of awakening, but if we are wiped out during this stage, Cthulhu likely will not avenge us."

Some Deep Ones felt that the deity had not shown divine miracles for a long time, and wondered if this Deep One High Priest was monopolizing the glory of the deity.

"Everyone, do not forget our origins."

"In this world, we are just outsiders."

"We need to obtain the origin of this world and bring it back to our homeland."

The Deep One High Priest made the final decision: "Therefore, we must invade this world."

"The deity Cthulhu has bestowed power upon us."

"We must Guard him and bring him countless amounts of faith power."

After listening to the Deep One High Priest's high-sounding words, Ye Bai rolled his eyes.

Isn't this just a boss painting a big picture to PUA his subordinates?

All the credit is yours, and all the hard work is someone else's.

"This meeting won't end for a while; according to my experience, it will take at least another hour."

"I will take advantage of the Deep One High Priest holding the meeting to enter its room and steal all its belongings."

"Then, taking advantage of when it is unprepared, I will launch a sneak attack on it."

"As long as I don't alert the other Deep Ones, there shouldn't be any major problems."

To solve the Abyss Gate and solve Cthulhu, one must first solve the Deep One High Priest.

Ye Bai must create some commotion to make the Deep One High Priest annoyed; when he is negligent, Ye Bai will strike to deal with the Deep One High Priest.

As long as it is killed, closing the Abyss Gate and driving away Cthulhu will be a piece of cake.

"Ye Bai, I can feel Cthulhu's divine power; a portion of it is in the small room next to us."

"Hurry in, hurry in."

"As long as I get the replenishment of divine power, I can crawl out of your body."

Ye Bai's ears were buzzing from the noise of Hastur's voice.

Helpless, Ye Bai could only follow Hastur's instructions and sneak toward the small room on the side.

The exterior of the small room looked very small, but space compression technology was used inside.

Countless precious gold, silver, jewelry, gold coins, and large deep-sea pearls were scattered in the room.

It was not that the Deep One High Priest was vulgar, but that these things were all constructed from divine power.

A streak of yellow light crawled out from Ye Bai's body, and Hastur rushed over like a starving dog pouncing on food.

The divine power surged into Hastur's body like a tsunami.

Its body swelled up like a balloon.

"Hahaha, I have finally recovered a portion of my divine power."
