Pendragon left Touka in the shop, and the space behind him twisted and folded, teleporting her body above the city.
Centered on the coffee shop, the chaos is spreading outwards, and within just a few dozen seconds, hundreds of people have already lost their lives in the chaos.
After all, he had caused this scene himself. Pendragon silently stretched out his left hand towards the ground, and the magic-formed Infinity Gauntlet snapped open.
Time has been reversed!
The frenzied humans were brought back to their senses by a warm and comforting spiritual force!
The tragedy was as if it had never happened; the city's traffic was orderly, and people were doing their jobs, which maintained social stability.
"I'm hungry..."
Pendragon's ahoge (cowlick) drooped as if it had lost all its strength, and it slowly descended from the sky, its destination the dessert shop!
—Without any warning!
Pendragon's body began to tremble, his ahoge disappeared, and even his slowly and steadily descending body began to crash into the ground faster and faster under the influence of gravity!
"Oh!"
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Pendragon smashed through the roof of a house and then fell silent.
"%@#¥&*..."
The incessant, insane ramblings echoed in her mind, and Pendragon's consciousness became hazy, as if something was leaving her, replaced by endless anger, despair, and fear. The negative emotions, so intense that they could not be described in words, were slowly driving her mad!
"Is this all you have?"
Pendragon's exquisite face showed no expression whatsoever, not even his dark golden eyes.
"I'm the strongest Alter. Your power isn't quite enough!"
For the first time ever, a smile curved his lips, and the next second, Pendragon appeared behind Huang Xiaoming.
"what???"
A familiar sense of oppression washed over him, and Huang Xiaoming turned his head to see the face he had been longing for all night.
P.S.: I went to sign the contract with the landlord today, and emmmmm, including the agency fee, I transferred over 19,000 yuan to him, leaving me with a mountain of debt...
Chapter Twenty-Seven: Let's Fight the Outer Gods for Desserts!
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"No."
A cold voice said this, and before Huang Xiaoming could react, Pendragon had already disappeared.
Tracing back along the evil psychic energy marked on his body, Pendragon had already crossed the galaxy and arrived on a desolate planet in the next second.
This was still not the source of his spiritual power. Pendragon casually crushed a few insects and then performed another spatial jump.
This time, she came to the center of the universe.
It's difficult to describe the scene before my eyes in words.
Darkness, chaos, distortion—just seeing such images has a powerful psychological effect on the mind, eroding reason.
Madness, chaos—Pendragon's gaze pierced through the evil spiritual force entrenched at the center of the universe like a sharp sword, and a massive mountain range was reflected in his dark golden pupils.
To be precise, it was a tentacle shaped like an octopus's leg, larger than the most majestic mountain, that stretched out from the deep darkness and swayed unconsciously.
Huge meteorites and frozen ice blocks floated near the tentacles, forming an incredibly spectacular star ring!
Only the destruction and collapse of stars could form such a large-scale meteorite belt, and within it are huge blocks of ice... planets, water, perhaps life, or even civilization, once existed here.
I just don't know if it was this tentacle that destroyed the original planet.
Pendragon's intuition told him that this thing was not simple. He silently ate the black bean paste in the vacuum environment, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
If this being hadn't already marked itself, Pendragon wouldn't have bothered it; the taste of this black bean paste was just too cloying.
For the world! For dessert!
It was only when Pendragon arrived here that he discovered that the distress message had originated here.
It is the universe itself that is sending out this message; tentacles reaching out from the unknown are devouring this world.
In just a short while, the huge tentacles changed into another shape, like half a fish's tail.
"Is it devouring the lifespan of this universe?"
Pendragon didn't understand the principle behind it, but he suddenly had this feeling after seeing the indescribable scene before him.
The evil god's frantic howls constantly tried to invade Pendragon's mind, but its mental power could not break through Pendragon's mental world, and it could only let her continuously replenish its power.
In the cold, silent depths of space, the irregularly shaped chaotic evil god instinctively sensed the danger and transformed into a green, eyeball-like entity.
The eyes were unfocused, like a dead object, but even Pendragon, who could completely resist the madness it brought on the mind, couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine!
Even the ahoge (cowlick) twitched in disgust, as if it were being watched by some terrifying being.
It looks really cool, but I wonder how much it weighs...
Thinking this, Pendragon stretched his left arm behind him and pulled it forward as if he had grabbed something, making a throwing motion.
This is a star located in a distant galaxy. Since its birth, this yellow dwarf star has released boundless light and infinite heat into space through nuclear fusion!
Just now, the outer layer of the atmosphere on one side of this star suddenly sank inward, and the nearly circular corona was twisted into an ellipse. Under the influence of immense force, it was abruptly removed from its original orbit!
Light-years of space were traversed in mere seconds as Pendragon pulled this prime-age yellow dwarf star towards the evil god who occupied the center of the universe!
The giant drums and flutes played a frenzied symphony, the howls of the Great Old Ones echoed in our ears, and tangible ripples appeared in the vacuum where no medium existed.
The extreme heat caused all matter to exist only in a gaseous state, and the magnificent meteorite belt was instantly reduced to ashes in front of the much larger yellow dwarf star.
But it's no use!
The yellow dwarf, hurled by Pendragon, burst and vanished like a golden bubble after a fleeting burst of light!
The remnants of the star formed an even more spectacular meteorite belt than before, and deep space returned to its frigid state.
...Attacks on the physical level seem to be ineffective.
Pendragon immediately switched to a method he was more familiar with, attempting to use his authority over infinite power to directly erase the existence of this Outer God!
"Snapped."
The snap of fingers also defied the physical law that sound cannot travel through a vacuum, activating the erasure function—
The scene was very embarrassing.
Pendragon encountered the same problem when she eliminated the gecko last time; her powers... failed!
Apart from the Outer God's spiritual power becoming even more frenzied, direct attempts to eliminate it had no consequences.
It's as if this Outer God has broken free from the constraints of the universe's rules and is no longer affected by them.
To use the simplest and most straightforward analogy, if we consider the universe as a computer, then Pendragon's power is like an external login ID, capable of gaining extremely high privileges within the computer for a short period of time, allowing him to use or uninstall any programs on it at will.
The existence of this Outer God is equivalent to a virus created by other computers; it is impossible to uninstall.
Of course, this is just a metaphor.
Pendragon deduced that if he wanted to eliminate this Outer God, he should try going to the universe in which it resided...
Pendragon was unsure whether the above idea was influenced by the Outer God. He looked at the Outer God, which seemed to be driven by instinct and whose form was slowly changing as it writhed, and pondered how to defeat it.
If this guy could communicate, Pendragon wouldn't mind keeping to himself and living peacefully with him until the universe is destroyed.
However, this one seems to be driven only by instinct, or rather, only a very small number of Outer Gods exhibit rationality that is understandable to humans, and the one before us is clearly one of the vast majority.
Pendragon became a new target after killing its followers, and is constantly subjected to its mental corruption attacks. He must use the power of the black bean paste throughout the process to ensure that he is safe.
This is very painful, and it is precisely because Pendragon realized this that he came here to try and solve the problem.
Since it is an outsider and cannot be completely eliminated, could we try to find a solution by looking at its similarities with the universe?
The constant mental stimulation from this Outer God made Pendragon's eyes light up. If it could launch mental attacks, then there was no reason why he couldn't do the same!
P.S.: Emmm, I just signed the contract yesterday, and the landlord called today saying that a relative has taken a liking to that apartment and insists on moving in??? I have to take a taxi to the landlord's place tomorrow to look at another apartment, and I'm so worried about the taxi fare!!!
Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lobster
Chapter 28
Pendragon immediately increased the magical output of his "mind" ability, protecting his mental world while concentrating all the remaining mental power and flowing upstream along the path from which the mad mental power had been transmitted.
Overcome all obstacles!
Pendragon's mental power seemed to cleave through the Outer God's spiritual power like splitting a waterfall, condensing it into a needle-like object, and stabbing it fiercely!
The clear howl instantly resounded throughout the entire universe.
Pendragon's attack seemed to have worked; the Outer God's body, which had been slowly writhing, transformed into tentacles, twisting and lashing wildly, pulverizing the meteorite belt formed by the cooling of a shattered star.
The thought of being able to control the mind of an Outer God is incredibly fulfilling.
However, this idea, which even the evil god would find insane, ultimately failed to become a reality. After Pendragon's power arrived in another universe, it was instantly neutralized by different natural laws, rendering it useless.
Moreover, just like stirring up a hornet's nest, the body of the evil god that invaded from the unknown universe twisted rapidly, making the already inconspicuous gap even bigger!
Is this even possible...? Using brute force to tear apart the barriers between universes? That's incredibly reckless.
This gap, like a hole drilled into the bottom of a water tank, is causing the universe in which Pendragon currently resides to continuously lose matter and energy.
It seems that there is a kind of "universal gravitation" between universes. Once two universes come into contact in some form, the stronger one will attract the matter and energy from the weaker universe.
What's in another universe?
Whether it was because he had been in close contact with the Outer Gods for too long or something else, Pendragon found himself unable to suppress this curiosity!
Intuition failed to foresee the danger, and despite the Outer God's highly corrupting spiritual power, Pendragon approached the tentacles...
It's a bit soft.
Stepping on it will cause it to sink in, and the texture is similar to that of a marshmallow.
The thought of sweets made Pendragon feel a little hungry.
With a mental force that allows the mind to remain rational and calm at all times residing in his mind, Pendragon confirmed this repeatedly before following the tentacles of the evil god into the cosmic gap.
Even if you're going to be adventurous, you have to be steady amidst the adventure!
It's no different from a regular space jump, except that the physical strain is much greater.
In the folded and distorted spacetime, there was no sense of the passage of time. The scene that Pendragon saw was as if it had been switched in an instant, completely different!
Palaces beyond human description hover in the starry sky, containing vast, amorphous masses of darkness and chaos.
Pendragon seemed to hear a tremendous drumbeat that almost tore her heart apart; she felt terrible as soon as she arrived in this universe.
A flute made from the skeleton of some enormous creature emitted a nauseating, monotonous tone, while in the vacuum surrounding the palace, various forms of evil gods moved about, emitting mad howls!
It's Boss A.
Pendragon learned about the drumming and flute sounds, as well as the palace, from an encyclopedia. By matching these descriptions to the descriptions, the identity of this Outer God became clear.
As Pendragon observed the scene before him, the Great Old Ones gathered there also noticed her tiny presence, and even Azathoth, who acted entirely on instinct, turned his gaze in that direction.
Before Pendragon could even adjust to her powers in this universe, she felt a chilling wind behind her as numerous Outer Gods surrounded her. The sheer malice of this force was comparable to a powerful mental attack, making Pendragon feel nauseous and want to vomit.
And it was at this moment that Pendragon's power adapted to the laws of this universe!
With omniscient and omnipotent divine power in her hands, she instantly sensed that among these Outer Gods, there were several whose power in this universe was no less than her own, and they were also immeasurable beings!
What awaits Pendragon may be a tough battle.
The battle between the Great Old Ones and Pendragon was a catastrophe. The aftershocks from the collisions and reactions of various energies far exceeded the limits of what words could describe. A third of the mass of the entire universe disappeared, and even the universe itself began to twist and deform!
The existence of the ancient rulers becomes both real and illusory, swept away by the torrent of time, torn apart by the rifts of space, corrupted by despair and madness, and seduced by power and love...
No matter what methods the Outer Gods used, they could not shake this powerful invader and were all easily defeated by infinite power.
As Pendragon unleashed this supreme divine power of the universe, all the Great Old Ones were firmly bound around Azathoth's palace!
At this time, the only one still able to move is Azathoth, who has gathered the power of all the Great Old Ones, is now omniscient and omnipotent, and can be said to be the embodiment of the entire universe!
-
The body of the evil god that originally emerged from the center of the universe has disappeared, and even the opening is constantly shrinking and closing.
