Chapter 497: Shattering the Abyss Gate

The massive Cthulhu is floating in the air.

It is currently slumbering, but the moment of awakening is near.

Every deity that sneaks into Blue Star needs a period of time to adapt to the laws of Blue Star.

This giant beast, resembling an octopus, is drifting in the high sky.

The death of his servants cannot summon his pity.

At this moment, the octopus-brother Hastur sneaks and flashes over here.

"Cthulhu, my lifelong enemy, I didn't expect that I would escape from the prison, did you?"

"I will use the immense divine power of your Clone to help me activate a forbidden art, to release one of my tentacles."

"Back then, you all disregarded benevolence and morality, joining forces to seal me in the Starry Sky Prison; do you know how miserable I was?"

"Being tortured by endless laws day and night, my body was in a constant process of collapse and regeneration."

"Fortunately, I held on and Cut off a Clone."

"Fortunately, I met a reliable human; otherwise, I might have been imprisoned inside forever, suffering torture for all eternity."

"While Cthulhu's consciousness has not yet finally descended here, I will first seize control of this body."

"When the time comes, I will shift the blame onto the humans."

Restricted by the plane laws of Blue Star, Cthulhu could only Cut its divine power Clone and consciousness apart.

It first cast the divine power Clone into this world through the Abyss Gate, and after the divine power Clone adapted to and transformed the laws of this world, it would then cast its consciousness into Blue Star.

The benefit of doing this is that its own slumber time would be significantly shortened.

Even if it suffered a loss, it would only be losing a Clone, which would not affect its Soul.

However, the disadvantage is also obvious: during this period, its Clone would be at the mercy of others.

If the High Priest harbored any bad intentions at this time, this Clone might become a battery for the High Priest's magic power cannon.

Therefore, Cthulhu placed a curse in the minds of the High Priests; once they harbor any crooked thoughts, they will be doomed forever.

But Cthulhu, having made so many contingency plans, did not calculate why Hastur would appear here.

And it even coveted its own body.

"Cthulhu, the restrictions you placed on the Clone are completely ineffective against me."

"I must thank you for sending me such a great gift package of divine power."

Hastur leaped into the air and submerged directly into Cthulhu's Clone.

It absorbed a massive amount of divine power from Cthulhu's Clone like a sponge.

"The destruction speed of the Abyss Gate must be accelerated."

"If Cthulhu reacts, it will be very troublesome for me."

"Anyway, after absorbing a portion of Cthulhu's divine power, it should be more than enough to activate the forbidden art; I might as well help Ye Bai improve."

Hastur immediately sent a voice transmission to Ye Bai, who was at a loss regarding the Abyss Gate.

The Blood Skeleton King had swung its arms until sparks flew, yet the Abyss Gate still only had a shallow scratch.

Moreover, according to Ye Bai's observation, this Abyss Gate seemed to possess self-repairing functions.

This truly left Ye Bai speechless.

"Damn, this structure is really Sturdy; if only those shoddy construction projects were this Sturdy."

Ye Bai muttered, racking his brains at this moment, and after trying every method, he could only conclude that with his current means, the Abyss Gate was simply impregnable.

"Ye Bai!"

"The Abyss Gate is not destroyed like that!"

"If you keep going like this, you probably won't be able to destroy the Abyss Gate in ten thousand years."

"You need to destroy the core nodes of the Abyss Gate."

Hastur reminded him.

"Is that so."

"So I need to observe the nodes of the Abyss Gate."

Ye Bai nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

Hastur???

What do you understand?

I was just planning to lend you my divine power so you could see the core nodes of the Abyss Gate.

Ye Bai opened the Truth Eye, and the core nodes of the Abyss Gate were visible at a glance; they were orbiting the Abyss Gate at high speed.

From a distance, these energy nodes looked like wailing Souls.

"Hastur, are there any requirements for these core nodes, like must they be destroyed simultaneously?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked aloud.

"There is no such requirement, but the faster you destroy them, the better; otherwise, it is easy to alert the enemy and attract Cthulhu's attention."

After hearing Hastur's words, Ye Bai nodded.

"Everyone, come out."

"Follow my command."

Beichen Sky Wolf Blade, Dahui, Myriad-Change Butterfly, Cold Ice Glass Dragon, Sunflower Fairy, Nether Hell Hound, and other Pet Beasts appeared one after another.

"Everyone, follow my command; I will share my vision."

At this moment, the energy cores that were constantly moving appeared in Hastur's eyes.

My god, this guy actually possesses the eyes of a deity, able to see things that only deities can see?

Hastur was greatly shocked; the human it had randomly contracted with actually had such luck.

The Truth Eye, as the most important part of the God of Truth, possesses the natural ability to shield against detection by gods.

But this does not include Hastur, who has signed a contract with Ye Bai.

Hastur is a god himself; even if the one before them is only a Clone, it is still a part of a god.

"It seems my contract with this guy is also guided by fate."

Hastur, who had originally intended to dissolve the contract with Ye Bai after absorbing Cthulhu's divine power Clone, decided to wait and see a little longer.

"Go, Myriad-Change Butterfly, transform into the Geng Metal Sword Butterfly."

The Myriad-Change Butterfly transformed into the Geng Metal Sword Butterfly; its entire body radiated golden light, and even its wings were crafted from metal.

"Use Blade Storm, aim at the energy node fleeing before you."

Ye Bai shouted loudly at the Myriad-Change Butterfly.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly's gaze focused into one point; it was observing the energy node.

Afterward, it gently flapped its wings, and endless blades shot out from its body, gradually forming a dragon of blades, charging straight toward the energy node.

The sharp blades pierced through the energy node in an instant; only a loud "Bang!" was heard, a violent explosion erupted, and the entire Abyss Gate shook violently.

At the same time, spiderweb-like cracks appeared where the explosion occurred.

"It really works!" Ye Bai said happily.

"You are happy too soon. Every time an energy core is destroyed, the remaining energy cores move even faster, and the force required to pierce an energy core also increases exponentially."

"Not good, the explosion just now seems to have caught Cthulhu's attention."

Hastur was becoming anxious.

It had only eroded one-tenth of the Clone so far; if Cthulhu were to descend upon the Clone through the Abyss Gate at this moment,

Hastur would definitely be driven away by Cthulhu.

"Rest assured, leave everything to me."

"Spirit of the Candle Dragon, Ten Thousand Dragon Slash."

Ninety-nine Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes split from the body of the Spirit of the Candle Dragon, and under Ye Bai's precise control, these ninety-nine Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes stabbed toward the energy nodes of the Abyss Gate one after another.

These energy nodes were like balloons leaking air, one after another; a series of explosion sounds rang out.

The Abyss Gate added many more cracks.

However, the remaining energy nodes were like loaches, swimming rapidly and dodging.

"Hurry, Cthulhu has already sensed it, there are five energy nodes left."

Hastur said with extreme anxiety.

Ever since it became a god, it had never encountered a situation that made it anxious.

But now, its heart felt like it was stuck in its throat, thumping wildly.

"Hell Nether Wolf, use Underworld Shuttle, aim at that energy node, and bite down hard."

The Hell Nether Wolf transformed into countless black threads and drilled into the Shadow; the next second, its form condensed, and it opened its Blood Basin Mouth, biting fiercely at the energy node.

Only a loud "Bang!" was heard, and one of the energy nodes was broken.

"Hurry, Cthulhu is about to open the Abyss Gate."

Hastur had already felt that the Abyss Gate had opened a slit, and Cthulhu was about to descend.

"Sun Flower Fairy, Holy Light Shine."

The Sun Flower Fairy raised its fist fiercely, and rays of light gathered on its fist.

It suddenly transformed into a golden stream of light, and at a speed invisible to the naked eye, it smashed a punch onto an energy node.

A plain and simple punch.

Another "Bang!" sounded, and only three energy nodes remained.

"Big Brother, can I call you Big Brother?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm about to be played to death by you."

"If Cthulhu descends to Blue Star, I will be crushed to death by him on the spot."

Hastur's wailing and howling did not disturb Ye Bai; instead, Ye Bai was focused and concentrated, calculating the positions where the energy nodes were moving.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm waiting for you to save my life."

At this moment, the Abyss Gate slowly opened, and countless blue-white energy surged in from within; one could even hear the sound of flowing water.

"Hahaha, I was wondering why the Abyss Gate was having problems; so someone is causing trouble."

A giant tentacle slowly rushed toward Ye Bai; just at this moment, Ye Bai suddenly opened his eyes.

"That's it, Dahui, use Thunder God Axe."

Dahui, who had already finished charging up, leaped high, and just as the giant tentacle reached toward Ye Bai, it slashed heavily at the energy nodes.

Only a loud "Bang!" was heard, and the remaining three energy nodes exploded simultaneously.

The Abyss Gate instantly turned into fragments, and a chaotic spatial storm was generated.

It forcibly snapped the giant tentacle, which Cthulhu had constructed from mental power, in half.

"No, you damned human."

As soon as Cthulhu finished saying this sentence, it dissipated into the spatial storm.

This portion of its mental power did not know how long it would drift in the dimensions before it could return to Cthulhu's side.

"Ye Bai, well done."

"It's just a pity about Cthulhu's mental power; if I could obtain its mental power, I would surely be able to plunder it and make it a part of me."

"With one's loss being another's gain, Cthulhu is likely in trouble."

After a long while, the spatial storm finally subsided.

The space was gradually repaired.

The massive divine body of Cthulhu also began to gradually shrink.

It eventually turned into the appearance of a yellow octopus.

"Cthulhu's divine power is too vast; I cannot digest it all at once."

"I have already compressed all the divine power; during this time, do not call me out unless there is something major."

"After I have digested this divine power, I will give you some benefits."

Hastur transformed into a streak of light and merged into the center of Ye Bai's brows.

At this moment, the Undersea City was quiet.

Ye Bai had originally intended to destroy the entire city, but after thinking about it, he stopped himself.

"This is an Undersea City with immense research value."

"If such an intact city were handed over to our Yan Country researchers, they should be able to analyze quite a bit of Cthulhu civilization."

"At the same time, this place can also serve as an Undersea Base for Yan Country."

"Heaven-Swallowing Pelican, record the space coordinates here, let's go."

Gonggong.

Lan Fa, Zhang Tian'an, and Yun Luo were all anxiously awaiting word of Ye Bai's whereabouts.

The entire Gonggong was surrounded by a large number of headless bodies.

The mirror-image replication tactic suggested by Ye Bai was indeed effective.

After Zhang Tian'an's Clone used the Song of Destruction, it dissipated one after another, without affecting the main body.

"Lan Fa, this talent of yours has great potential; it should be developed as a priority."

Both Yun Luo and Zhang Tian'an said as much.

Just at this moment, a Space Rift appeared.

Ye Bai's figure emerged from the Space Rift.

"Moshi moshi."

Ye Bai greeted the three of them.

"Why do you all look so dumbfounded?"

"I'm back?"

Ye Bai said with a smile.

"How is the situation over there now?"

The three of them asked hurriedly.

"There are basically no problems anymore, and the Abyss Gate has also been destroyed by me."

"Cthulhu has also rushed back, and left behind an intact deep-sea base."

"Captain Ye, please sail away from this sea area first; I have matters to report to the Marshals."

Ye Shuang nodded; she had originally come to assist Ye Bai.

Information regarding the Abyss Gate was extremely important.

Ye Bai established contact with the Six Marshals through an encrypted channel.

"Ye Bai, what exactly is the situation under the sea now?"

Qilin Marshal asked impatiently.

"The Deep Ones have been completely wiped out by me, and the Abyss Gate has also been shattered."

Ye Bai recounted the process.

"Good, tell us the detailed process of how you destroyed the Abyss Gate once more."

Ye Bai repeated it again.

"Very good, Ye Bai, you have provided us with a strategy for destroying the Abyss Gate."

"The angel and demon armies of the Haoshen Abyss are all restless."

"I hope to send you to guard that place and rotate the Youji National Pillar out."

"Of course, we will not let you suffer a loss; if you have any conditions, feel free to propose them."

"Whatever we can satisfy, we will certainly satisfy for you."

Yellow Dragon Marshal promised publicly.

"Marshal, I would like to continue some research at the Haoshen Abyss, I wonder if that is possible."

Ye Bai followed a dual path; besides normal combat, research was also his home turf.

"No problem, we approve; there is already a large Laboratory at the Haoshen Abyss."

"You can conduct your research there."

"When it comes down to it, it was us old fellows who delayed your research."

"However, you must still be careful when stationed at the Haoshen Abyss."

"The angel and demon armies could launch a surprise attack on the Haoshen Abyss at any time."

"But we also do not know exactly when."
