"The entrance door to Gao Tianyuan?" Lin Qiye was stunned, "You mean, behind that door... is Gao Tianyuan?"
Merlin nodded slightly, "It's also our destination this time."
Among the rolling waves, the huge body of the whale slowly approached the giant door above the sea.
Lin Qiye stood behind Hua Jing, looking at the giant door from a straight perspective, then looking up, and finally he couldn't see the whole picture even when he looked up, and the shock in his heart could not be greater.
This door is really too big. The body of the transformed whale is already extremely huge, but at this moment, in front of the leading door, it is still as small as a toy. As for Lin Qiye and three people standing on its back, it is even more...
Not even a speck of dust.
"Get ready, we're going in." Merlin said suddenly.
Before Lin Qiye could react, the huge door in front of the whale body opened a gap silently, and a dazzling white light shined out from behind the door, making Lin Qiye close his eyes uncontrollably.
A huge force of gravity swept out from behind the door!
Buzz——!!
The ancient and heavy door slowly opened. Under the terrifying gravity, the bodies of Lin Qiye and Jialan instantly separated from the back of the whale. Like two grains of dust sucked away by a vacuum cleaner, they flew directly towards the door.
after.
Merlin, who was still standing motionless behind the whale, had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and two magic arrays appeared in his palms. The long blue rope quickly popped out, and instantly tied the waists of Lin Qiye and Jia Lan.
He forcefully pulled them back to his side.
The gravitational force stirred, the sea water churned, and the huge body of the transformed whale automatically floated away from the sea and slowly flew behind the gate.
As the whale disappeared, the door gradually closed. After a muffled sound, the door was tightly closed and gradually faded into the sea level, as if it had never appeared before.
…
When Lin Qiye opened his eyes, there was only blood left between heaven and earth.
The vast sea of blood rolled under the whale body, and the mutilated flesh and blood and the remains of weapons surged between the waves from time to time. The breeze full of the smell of blood penetrated into Lin Qiye's nasal cavity, making him couldn't help but frown,
His eyes swept around, and finally he looked up at the sky, where an extremely huge scarlet blood moon hung quietly high in the sky.
This red moon is ten times larger than the one Lin Qiye saw in the fishing village. It is like a red disk that covers the sky and the sun, embedded on the top of the mountains in the distance, and the light is scattered here.
Every corner of the world.
Lin Qiye stared blankly at the moon for a long time before coming back to his senses and looking at Merlin next to him in shock.
Merlin's expression was equally solemn.
"Your Excellency Merlin...where...is this place?" Lin Qiye asked tentatively.
"Didn't I just say that? After passing through the entrance gate, this is naturally Takamagahara."
"But isn't Takamagahara the country of the gods in Japan? How could it be like this?"
Lin Qiye looked around in confusion. The bloody ocean, the broken land, the dead and strange towering buildings in the distance, and the heart-stopping red moon in the sky did not look like a place where gods lived at all. On the contrary, they looked like a place where gods lived.
hell.
Merlin raised his head and stared at the sky for a long time, then raised his right hand and pointed at the red moon.
"Because of it."
"Red Moon?" Lin Qiye paused for a moment and then added, "Or... the gods of Cthulhu?"
"There is no essential difference between the two." Merlin replied, "The reason why the Red Moon exists is because the Cthulhu gods broke through a corner of the seal, and after their own power poured out, a regional pollution was formed.
Radiation is projected from the moon onto the earth. If you look up from a polluted area, the moon will appear red."
The amount of information contained in this sentence was so large that Lin Qiye was stunned on the spot.
When Lin Qiye was in the fishing village, he already knew that the Cthulhu Gods existed on the moon. Combined with Chen Yangrong's "will eventually return" and the identity of Seraph as the "gatekeeper", he also guessed that the Cthulhu Gods existed on the moon.
The reason why I am on the moon is not my intention, but caused by some other factors.
Judging from Merlin's words, what allowed Cthulhu to stay on the moon was some kind of seal?
"Were the gods of Cthulhu artificially sealed on the moon?" Lin Qiye asked in shock, "What kind of existence can seal a god system on the moon?"
"I don't know." Merlin shook his head. "The fate of that level is not something I can pry into at all... Moreover, it is still unclear whether [Cthulhu] can be regarded as a god system."
Hearing this sentence, Lin Qiye was stunned.
"What's the meaning?"
"The aura of the Cthulhu gods is different from other gods on the earth." Merlin said thoughtfully, "Whether it is Bactrian mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, Indian mythology... they all have histories and traditions that can be traced.
Cultural accumulation, with profound destiny heritage.
But those things on the moon are different.
Let me ask you, do you know where the birthplace of the Cthulhu Mythos is?"
Lin Qiye shook his head blankly, "I don't know..."
"Then do you know when this god system appeared? Who proposed it? How did it spread?"
Lin Qiye's brows furrowed slightly. He lowered his head and thought seriously for a long time before shaking his head...
There was no information about this in his memory.
"Don't you find it strange?" Merlin said slowly, "A pantheon of gods suddenly appeared in everyone's cognition without any background, religion, or historical accumulation, as if it was forcibly blocked.
As soon as it enters the human mind, no one even doubts the authenticity of this god system, it exists so logically...
Are ‘they’… really myths?”
Lin Qiye was stunned.
A large number of thoughts rolled through his mind, impacting his perception of reality.
"But...if [Cthulhu] is not a myth, then what are they?" Lin Qiye asked blankly.
"I don't know." Merlin shook his head, "All these are just my doubts and conjectures. They are too far away for you, so don't take them to heart."
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, put aside those complicated thoughts, and was about to ask something else, when the whale under their feet suddenly trembled violently!
The blood-colored ocean suddenly rolled, and a low hum came from the body of the whale. Merlin's face changed slightly, and he grabbed Lin Qiye and Jialan with both hands. A magic circle suddenly opened, and the three figures disappeared into the whale.
on the back.
When they reappeared, they had escaped from the bloody ocean and arrived at the edge of the coast full of wreckage.
Lin Qiye turned his head and looked around, and saw that among the turbulent waves, the huge corpse began to sink gradually. Scarlet blood-like light spread out from its body, covering the entire sea area in an instant.
