The King in Yellow is one of the most famous incarnations of Hastur. Even when many fans of the Cthulhu Mythology mention Hastur, the first thing they think of is this incarnation of the King in Yellow.
As for Hastur, he probably doesn’t need too much introduction. He is one of the most famous gods of the genocide. He is also a powerful and mysterious being, the bearer of madness and curses.
Even when considering naming the Cthulhu series, the organizer of the descendants of Luo almost named it "Hasta Myth" in a flash.
Li Ming carefully reviewed the setting of the King in Yellow in his mind. In fact, he had already written the manuscript about the King in Yellow, and it had been revised and finalized many times. After all, for this most famous god,
One, he naturally has to take it seriously.
He closed his eyes and glanced at his spiritual sea, which had long since returned to its peak state, feeling the rich spiritual power emanating from the mirror-like sea surface.
Then, Li Ming stretched out his right hand, summoned his mental power to gather a blank card that shone with fluorescent white light, and dropped the name of the card to be created next on it——
【King in Yellow】!
When the words "King in Yellow Clothes" fell, the spiritual power on the soles of Li Ming's feet instantly set off a turbulent wave. The waves formed by the spiritual power began to condense and spin around Li Ming. In a vague way, Li Ming seemed
I felt that my mental strength was on the verge of collapse.
Unfortunately, even with Dagon as a power bank, due to the complex relationship between the Cthulhu sect and the Hastur sect, the spiritual power supplied through the "R'lyeh Text" is already in Li Ming's spiritual sea.
Not one remains.
But enough.
After all, this time, Li Ming specially created the front card——
When the sea of spirit almost collapsed, Li Ming raised his left hand and mobilized his mental power to summon the "King in Yellow" with a yellow seal cover in front of him.
After using "The King in Yellow" as a medium, the spiritual power that originally surged suddenly changed from violent to gentle, and slowly poured into the "The King in Yellow" in Li Ming's hand like a trickle.
King", and then flocked to the "King in Yellow" through "The King in Yellow".
This is like building a ladder between two mountain peaks, connecting the two originally isolated peaks, and the mental energy expenditure required is also greatly reduced.
After completing this work, Li Ming took a deep breath and began to draw the "King in Yellow" card surface.
Compared with other cards of the genre, the King in Yellow is relatively simple. After all, he has no facial features. He only needs to draw the weird, weird, shabby, tattered yellow robe, and a piece of invisible nothing.
Just make it pitch black.
Li Ming had already drawn and drawn this work on draft paper before, and he was already very familiar with it. It only took a few minutes for it to take shape.
Later, after the final strokes were completed, the originally relatively rough "King in Yellow" card surface began to be repaired and integrated by itself, perfecting the details bit by bit.
And what comes next is the most important thing.
Li Ming took a long breath. After the last experience, he could almost see himself being squeezed dry on the spot.
Two cards slowly floated around him, which were the low-level orange-level material card [Strange Dance] that Ruan Zhou provided to him, and the gold coins that the old man exploded, and the high-level orange-level material card [Ugly Shape].
].
Of course, the script of "The King in Yellow" is also playing a role. Otherwise, it would be impossible to create an orange-level card "The King in Yellow" based on these two orange-level cards.
He raised his hand, put the settings he had already drafted in his mind into words, and began to inject the soul of the Cthulhu worldview into this "King in Yellow"——
[The King in Yellow looks similar to humans in appearance. He usually wears yellow or variegated tattered robes. Sometimes he wears a pale mask. Sometimes he seems to have wings on his back, and sometimes he seems to be wearing a mask on his head.
Halo, he has no face and is as tall as two people.】
[He is the most famous incarnation of Hastur. That old robe is actually part of his body and an extension of his flesh and blood. Hidden under that face are ugly tentacles - he has astonishing abilities.
It is easy to plasticize and can change the shape of the body at will.】
[Most of his followers are lonely and paranoid madmen. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are all crazy poets and artists. They usually fall completely into madness after reading a weird play called "The King in Yellow"
, they are happy to draw morbid inspiration from cruelty.】
[According to legend, the King in Yellow will hypnotize the target through a weird dance. By grasping and staring, he can make all targets panic and even fall into madness. 】
[Among the cults that worship Hastur, those who witness the Seal of Yellow Clothes will distort their dreams, leading sane people to madness and destruction - this vicious symbol seems to be twisting and twisting, like a sign of madness.
At its core, this symbol seems to have a life of its own.]
[In the ancient prophecy, the King in Yellow will come to the lost Carcosa to ascend his throne, or to put it another way, Carcosa is actually another manifestation of the King in Yellow. ]
[One day, everything will become "like Carcosa", and his followers will break free from the shackles of mortal bodies and mortal world, and wander the world like rulers forever——]
[The light of Aldebaran is shining in the sky, the buildings will be buried in the sea of fire, diseases will rage wildly, and everything will decay and fester...]
With every word he wrote, Li Ming could feel a little of the strength in his body being drained away - at first it was just strength, but later it gradually turned into breath and even blood. That feeling of powerlessness appeared in his mind again.
among.
Fortunately, Li Ming finally completed the background story of the King in Yellow before he collapsed from complete exhaustion.
He let out a long breath. The turbid air had been stuffy in his mouth for a long time, and when he breathed it out, it had turned into a ball of hot air.
Now, he was nervously waiting for the card reviewer's results, waiting for the orange halo he expected to appear.
This time the card review took more than five minutes. Li Ming could hardly keep his eyes open while waiting. Exhaustion came like a tide, constantly invading his body. Every second of waiting seemed to have passed.
All day long.
But five minutes later, the blank flashing fluorescent card finally burst out with a burst of soft orange light, turning into six orange streams of light that appeared on the side of the card of "The King in Yellow".
This is……
Six-star orange card!
Good guy, I finally successfully entered the realm of orange-level cards!
He ignored the exhaustion deep in his heart after going through countless hardships, and just narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the [King in Yellow] that he had finally created after spending a lot of energy and energy -

Li Ming let out a long sigh and gradually withdrew from his spiritual sea.
He stretched out his slightly trembling fingers and felt that his soul had completely fallen into fatigue, as if an endless mountain had sunk into his body.
Although the King in Yellow has somewhat repaid his spiritual power, this feeling of powerlessness...
How to say it.
In fact, I really want to experience it a few more times, after all, each experience means that I can create an orange-level card.
Li Ming fell on the bed and thought for a while.
Now, the last piece of the puzzle has been put together.
If you go by your own conjecture, the space crack that appeared when "Raleye Text" was used together with Innsmouth...
Maybe that’s where the connection is!
And now that he has the capital to explore space cracks, the King in Yellow, as an orange-level card, also has a certain power of space laws. Coupled with the Byakhi Summoning Technique, he will naturally begin to have the ability to explore space cracks.
capital.
So, next step…
Naturally, he went to the space crack and saw with his own eyes whether it was consistent with his guess!
certainly.
Before that, he had to take a good rest.
Later, Li Ming took several days off, and once again entered into a day of drunkenness, eating and drinking, which made him feel very relaxed both physically and mentally.
To be honest, Li Ming's appetite has increased at least ten times in the past few days. In the past, he was very frugal, and could only eat half a bowl of rice at most.
But now... I have to eat more than ten bowls of rice every day.
If it weren't for the spiritual sea that was also absorbing nutrients from his stomach, otherwise Li Ming would have gained dozens of kilograms of weight just by eating as much as he did.
After resting for several days, Li Ming's spiritual sea finally returned to an almost full state.
The first thing, of course, is to follow your own plan and start exploring to confirm whether your previous ideas can be used in practice.
He summoned Dagon, and at the same time took out the "L'lyeh Text" and Innsmouth.
The familiar green mist lingered again, and those decaying buildings appeared in the small town of Innsmouth - Li Ming took out several of his concealment cards to completely hide this strange scene.
Then, he took over the "R'lyeh Text", activated his spiritual sea and began to pour spiritual power into the "R'lyeh Text" crazily, urging it to work at its maximum power.
That huge aura soared into the sky, even causing a burst of birdsong to chirp around -
