Chapter 664: Chapter 492: God's Arrival_1 Chapter 664: Chapter 492: God's Arrival_1 As twilight fell once again on Innsmouth, the blasphemous, and wicked ritual kicked off.
The residents of Innsmouth, gathered inside the Church of Dagon, holding torches and looking at the filthy, ugly statue in front of them, shouted the name of their worshipped deity, praying and pleading for its mercy and salvation. They wished that their revered deity could release them from their nightmares.
Even more devout were the core cultists assembled below the church. They raised their hands high, uttering vile and deformed spells.
“In the name of the deep-sea Y'ha, Land of Enns Lei and its inhabitants, praise the 'Ruler of All'. In the name of the 'Sign of Kish' and all who obey this sign, praise the creator of the seal. In the name of the 'Gateway to R'lyeh' and all who use this gate — current and future, praise the one beyond the gate. In the name of 'The One Who Will Come'……Phnglui mglwnafh Cthulu R'lyeh wgahnagl fhtagn!”
The prayers of the raving cultists echoed through the gigantic underground cavern. The captives chosen for sacrifice, standing at the edge of the cavern, trembled uncontrollably. Their faces pale, they watched the events unfolding with a sense of helplessness. At that moment, a few cultists walked over and pushed the sacrifices from the edge. Along with their shrieks of terror, they plunged into what appeared to be a pitch-black, bottomless abyss, their fall so void of sound that not even a splash broke the eerie silence.
However, the people of Innsmouth didn't care about the fate of these outsiders. They did not bother glancing at the victims taken for sacrifice.
The ritual continued!
The Flink Family Head and several other important figures exchanged glances, knelt once again before the altar, and faced the blasphemous and evil statue. They began to shout loudly.
“Great Father Dagon, Great Mother Hydra. From the depths we offer you our highest respect, to create a glorious empire with endless years. We shall witness the awakening of immortality! Y'ha! R'lyeh! Y'ha! Cthulhu — give out candies!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh!!”
Along with the cultists' callings, the sound of sea waves floated into existence, seemingly harmonizing with their prayers. Like dropping dumplings into boiling water, the sacrifices were pushed by the cultists into the abyss one after another, the sound of the waves becoming progressively more intense. As the cultists' calls reached their climax, the dark cavern that was initially unfathomable began to fill with the surging seawater.
And then, a massive shadow abruptly emerged!
“Y'ha! Y'ha!”
Looking at the massive shadow before them, the cultists grew even more frenzied. They fell to their knees, their bodies quivering in intense excitement.
They never expected that Father Dagon would truly manifest!
That meant that they were saved————
“Thump!”
However, at this moment, a gentle thud rang out.
The sound was not loud at all, just the simple noise of a cane hitting the ground. In any other place, it would have been drowned out by cheers, but here, this sound was like a startling wave, instantly suppressing the cheers of the cultists. Not only that, those who were originally passionate because of Dagon's appearance felt as if a bucket of iced water had been poured on their heads, leaving them stunned!
The boiling blood caused by the sighting of Father Dagon seemed to have been frozen!
All at once, the previously noisy gathering place became dead silent. And then, that sound rang out again.
“Thump… Thump…”
The dull sound echoed once more; those cultists turned their heads trembling with fear, looking backward. They saw that not far from their backs, at the entrance, a towering figure walked in. He was clad in a black coat and broad-brimmed hat, holding a pure black cane. Most of his face was hidden under the hat brim and raised collar. Only a pair of eyes were revealed.
“At last, I've drawn you out.”
Duanmu Huai looked up at Dagon, who, relatively, did not look entirely hideous. At least it was much easier to describe than those indescribable things. Put simply, it was a giant, half-fishman creature. A fish-like head, tall and giant-like, covered with scales all over the body, with a fishy smell…
Just like that.
“It's not that mixed breed, Cthulhu, but Dagon will do…”
Duanmu Huai glared at Dagon, his voice never changing. However, his aura gradually increased.
“You insignificant evil gods dare to cause turmoil in the human world. It seems like you can't wait to have your deaths. In front of the tribunal, it's not your turn to be rampant!”
Along with Duanmu Huai's roar, the next moment his fearful aura exploded, and black flames burst from his body.
At this moment, all the cultists felt an overwhelming spiritual pressure coming from above, like a mountain crashing down, slamming them heavily to the ground!
[You deployed “Fearful Aura” on the Cultists]
[Cultists resist the Fearful Aura………Appraisal failed miserably!]
[Cultist A subjected to instant death verdict!]
[Cultist B fell into a state of hysteria!]
[Cultist C………]
Excited system prompts ascended like firecrackers during the New Year, while concurrently, the cultists naturally could no longer endure Duanmu Huai's Fearful Aura. Their mouths wide open, they struggled desperately like fish out of water. Unlike the indecipherable knowledge of Chaos brought by the Outer Gods, the sensation Duanmu Huai's Fearful Aura gave these cultists was singular.
That is terror!
Extensive terror!
At this moment, the cultists could only feel their hearts pounding madly, almost leaping out of their throats. Even the blood in their bodies, it seemed, couldn't stand this terror and began to flow backward frantically. The air they breathed didn't seem willing to enter their bodies anymore, even though they opened their mouths wide and breathed heavily, not a shred of air had any intention to enter the lungs!
“Thud! Thud! Thud!!!”
In the blink of an eye, the cultists lay scattered across the ground, their eyes rolled upward, their mouths agape and eyes bulging, fresh blood gushing from their bodies, each of them turning into a puddle of blood!
However, at this moment, Duanmu Huai had already lost interest in these cultists. He coldly glared at Dagon, the Black Flame on his body gradually rose, forming an almost imperceptible giant silhouette, standing squarely against Dagon.
However……… why does this scene seem so familiar?
As he stared at Dagon, Duanmu Huai furrowed his brows. Since Dagon had been summoned from the cave, only his upper body was present here, coupled with the seawater constantly gushing from underneath Dagon……
Alright, everyone prepare, stand ten yards apart, watch for the orb!
Eh………. wrong, wrong, I digressed.
Duanmu Huai reined in his scattered thoughts, then looked at Dagon before him, gripping his staff tightly.
“Prepare to die! Heretical Evil God!!”
The moment his words fell, Duanmu Huai rushed directly towards Dagon, who was several times larger than himself. Facing the oncoming Duanmu Huai, Dagon responded with a roar and gripped his scaly Iron Fist, and aimed right at Duanmu Huai!
“Boom!!!”
In terms of size, Duanmu Huai was at a disadvantage, he was only 2.5 meters tall, while Dagon was a full six meters tall. Even now, with just his upper body visible like sitting in a latrine, he was still much taller than Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai was not without methods. Although as a Deity he couldn't make use of the Judge's equipment in this world, he had his own methods.
That is the Black Flame!
“Haaaaaaa!!!”
Duanmu Huai leaped up, and along with his motion, the black silhouette around him, almost as large as Dagon, formed from the Black Flame also raised both hands, gripping the War Hammer formed from Black Flame, and smacked right onto Dagon's head!
“Bang!!”
The Giant Hammer formed from Black Flame smacked directly onto Dagon's crown, eliciting a roar from Dagon. He spread out his arms, aiming to grab Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai leaped up in that instant onto Dagon's arm, and then abruptly jumped forward, the staff in his hands stinging like a bee's stinger, piercing into Dagon's eyes!!
“Ohhhhhhh!!!”
Dagon, an Evil God of this level, basically had no real ability. It could bully humans to some extent, but any genuine deity could give it a run for its money. Duanmu Huai had set his sights on it, and naturally, it was doomed. In an instant, the entire cave began to shake wildly. The very next moment, it seemed as if something had abruptly hit the cave, causing it to collapse!
“Rumble!!!”
Rocks tumbled down, while Duanmu Huai, protected by the Black Flame, leaped up, avoiding the collapsing cave. When he looked ahead once again, he discovered that on another part of the seashore, a Half-Fish Giant almost as tall as Dagon had walked out from the sea, its fish eyes glaring maliciously at Duanmu Huai.
Seeing Duanmu Huai looking at it, the giant Half-Fishman also opened its mouth, letting out a sharp and terrifying roar. Accompanying its cry, the pitch-black sea also began to shake. Lightning flashed, the wind howled, as if the apocalypse was about to occur. However, for Duanmu Huai, such tricks of making an impression were naturally ineffective.
Ah, so the wife is sore because her husband got hit?
In that case……… With that in mind, Duanmu Huai also tightened his grip and stared coldly at them.
“You might as well die together!!”
