CH 46

[The storm enveloped the entire world, the sun obscured by thick clouds, the entire continent was plunged into darkness, with grudgeful spirits raising havoc, monsters everywhere, and wails soaring through the sky.

The center of the storm, on Laleille Island.

Catherine looked at the cold-faced god in front of her and screamed in fear: "Let me go! Please! I want to go home! Wu wu wu!" (Blu: Wu- crying)

With a trembling voice, the girl awakened the other half of the soul sleeping deep in the ruthless deity.

[Catherine——leave here——]

[Never——don't come back——]

[Despicable soul fragment ——what are you trying to do]

[Sleep ——this world no longer belongs to you]

[No—— No——]

The god returned to the endless ocean, turned back into his original form and set off the waves of the sea.

This ancient deity returned to the bottom of the deep sea where no light could be seen, and fell into a never-ending sleep.

Dark clouds dispersed and sunlight fell on the wounded island.

The girl dazedly walked out of the woods and looked at the sun above her head, smiling.]

——From 《Cthulhu’s Wrath》

After getting off the airship, Zhou Yu followed the Outsiders and another group of adventurers they temporarily hired onto a giant steamship.

The steam spilled out from the chimney above the ship, forming a dense fog covering the sky, which made people feel like they were in Britain's Victorian age.

Watching the antique operate would make one feel a special sense of beauty. Zhou Yu exhaled a breath from his chest and walked up towards the empty deck.

When the brown-haired, Asian-faced Antonio saw the caster leaving the cabin, he also followed him subconsciously.

This steamship had been running for more than half a day. Many people had originally enjoyed the calm and magnificent sea view from the deck, but after a long time, the novel scenery became boring, and groups returned to the cabins to rest.

He was really curious what the beautiful caster wanted to do on the deck at this time.

"Dear Sir Caster, speaking honestly, I still don't know your name even now ..." Antonio walked to Zhou Yu and asked with a smile.

Zhou Yu, still looking at the sea in front of the ship, without looking back said indifferently, "You can call me Riel." This was the original Cariell’s most commonly used alias.

He knew from Plot Perception’s visions that the original owner was also part of the plot. Although they didn’t recognize his face, that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t recognize the original's name, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to tell them his real name.

"Lord Riel. I'm really honored that you chose our task. I don't know if you are interested in going to the cabin to drink together——" Antonio's eyes revealed a little slyness, his Adam’s apple bobbing uncontrollably. However, Zhou Yu shushed him before he had finished speaking.

"Quiet——there’s movement!" Zhou Yu glanced at him indifferently, warning him.

On the sea ahead, they didn’t know when a layer of mist had risen, but it had become extremely dense, making it almost impossible to see the ocean ahead.

There seemed to be something moving in the fog.

"Roar——!!!" A monster with a head of a fish and lower half of a human with a fish tail leaped out of the darkness.

Antonio was startled and immediately jerked the gun out of his pocket, but unfortunately, he couldn't hit the extremely fast monster even after a few rounds. It was completely covered in strong scales, giving it a very good defense.

"Ah-!!!!" A scream sounded and the monster died.

Antonio stared as the fragile caster in front of him killed the monster with a wind blade using his finger. He was internally shocked.

He had collected information about this world before he came.

He knew that there was magic here, but didn’t expect it would be so powerful. Looking at this speed and power that was faster than an arrow, if he could have such power, what would he have to be afraid of? For that Captain Andrew, he could crush him with one finger!

The water’s surface became choppy, countless monsters rushed out of the sea and even jumped to the deck. They desperately made their way to places with people and the bloody smell spread all over the ship in a moment. Screams resounded not only on the side where Zhou Yu was, but also the other.

Zhou Yu looked at the monsters with thin flesh and little blood, and said to the Outsiders who were still in a daze: "Go back to the cabin! I'll take care of this!"

"No, Sir Caster, how could we bother you for these kinds of things, I’ll help you!" Antonio seemed more attentive to Zhou Yu, but this time, he no longer only had appreciation for the man’s beauty in his eyes, but also ambition.

He must have a good relationship with this caster, then maybe he could learn some useful spells! The magic that the Lord God sold was too expensive with little power. It was far less powerful than the magic that the caster would conjure.

Zhou Yu glanced at the gun in his hand, ignored him, and directly chanted and floated in the air, releasing a large spell.

With Zhou Yu as the center, the entire ship was covered by a huge magic array. With Zhou Yu’s movements, it released countless fireballs and wind blades, turning the thick fog and all the monsters in the fog into flying ash.

The fearsome spells from the Magic Array caused all of the monsters still hiding below the water to flee one after another, not daring to offend him.

The fog in front was dispelled, and the spell wave spread far and wide. The god at the bottom of the ocean felt it and opened their eyes.

Humans? Humans! His human was coming!

Zhou Yu retracted the spell and slowly fell back to the deck.

The adventurers and the surviving crew members who stepped out of the cabin kneeled down in tears, thanking “Sir Caster” for his kindness.

Zhou Yu felt a little uncomfortable and said indifferently, "Quickly return for treatment! I didn’t want to save a group of guys destined to die!"

The adventurer and the crew immediately thanked each other and returned to the cabin, mutually supporting each other.

As for Zhou Yu's bad attitude? In their opinion, this was normal, Sir Caster was so powerful, he should be as overbearing as this!

The deck was covered in the corpses and blood of the crew members. Zhou Yu wasn’t interested in staying on the deck anymore and returned into the cabin.

"Mr. Antonio, can you tell me more about the route now?" Zhou Yu sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the Outsider who followed him with suspicion. "You told me before that the route was safe, but now many monstrosities are appearing. If you don't explain clearly, then I will not move for the rest of the voyage. "

After hearing the dissatisfaction in the native’s tone, Antonio panicked and lied with a grin: "Hahaha, how dare we civilians deceive Sir? Well, it's our fault. We didn't make it clear what we traveled for. Our route was actually not risky, but I accidentally got a nautical chart that marked the location of some treasure, so we decided to come here to take a look and see if we could find it!"

Zhou Yu lifted his eyes and looked at the outsider with a sly mouth, and said, "Show me the chart!"

Antonio froze. Where did he have a chart? That was a holographic map recorded by the Lord God, alright?

But these words must not be spoken to this native, otherwise the caster would think that he was making fun of him, and then completely offend this powerful caster.

"Uh, nautical chart ..... uh, ah sorry! Respected Sir Caster, for the sake of confidentiality, I’ve destroyed the nautical chart and all the routes are in my mind, so please forgive me for not being able to let you check it." Antonio bowed his head pretending to look chagrined.

Zhou Yu saw his performance, but didn’t point out anything. He responded, "Really? Then it seems that you have a good memory, Mr. Antonio. En, then can you tell me, how long will it take us to get to the place? What other monsters are waiting for us?"

Antonio looked at the watch of the Lord God, which was not visible to anyone else on his wrist. He spoke with certainty: "There is a perennial stormy sea and a shallow sea covered with reefs, and then the treasure is located —— at the island of Laleille! "

"Laleille?" Zhou Yu repeated the name, remembering that book on summoning that evil god. At the end of that book, there really was a record that the evil god slept in the Laleille Abyss.

[Call my name]

Who?

Zhou Yu startled and looked around. Seeing the Outsider’s surprised expression, he impatiently waved his hand: “Alright, I know. I want to rest. Leave!”

[Call my name, and I will protect you]

It was that evil god’s voice.

Shutting the door on the reluctant Outsider who was still standing there, Zhou Yu shed his indifferent mask, revealing a little fragility.

"Who are you?"

[My name is Cthulhu]

Clenching his fist, Zhou Yu struggled to control his emotions and asked, "Did you have Franken taken away?"

Cthulhu was a little angry that the object of his beloved human’s concern wasn’t himself, but that ugly soul fragment.

[It's already dead]

Cthulhu took a look at the dying shard on Laleille Island, taking pleasure in his misfortune.

Humph! Want to rob me of my human? Welcome to eternal death, fragment.

Zhou Yu heard the indifferent response of the evil god, his expression collapsing for a moment.

"Dead?"

Wasn't he the main character? How could he die?! No, he didn’t believe it!

He didn’t know why, he knew that Franken wasn't necessarily Feng Xing, but Zhou Yu still felt his heart throb and had some difficulty breathing when he heard the news of Franken’s death.

"You ... you must be lying to me!" Zhou Yu loudly refuted the voice that came from nowhere, slapping his palm on the table in front of him, tears splashing onto the floor.

Looking at the traces of tears on the carpet, Zhou Yu felt a bit confused. Why did he cry?

He wept for Franken's death.

He felt sorrow for that monster.

Did he ... love Franken?

Zhou Yu touched his cheek and felt the moist tracks.

No, he wouldn’t like someone so quickly ... unless Franken was Feng Xing.

Sometimes your heart would discover the truth before your reason did. 

Now he’d found the truth.

"You killed Franken?" Zhou Yu's tone was unprecedentedly calm.

Cthulhu couldn't see Zhou Yu's expression, and continued to say proudly 【Yes, that person who had offended god, I’ve already bestowed it death!】

Zhou Yu stepped out of the cabin and walked up to the bridge, glowering at the Outsider driving the ship: "Speed ​​up! I want to reach Laleille as soon as possible!"

Go to Laleille and perish together with that evil god! Even if he exploded, he would give that evil beast’s life a little color.

And according to the plot, Franken wasn’t necessarily dead.

He was sacrificed. If Zhou Yu didn’t arrive in time, he was afraid Franken really would die.

"But there's mist ahead ..." The Outsider was a little hesitant. They actually weren't in a hurry to get to Laleille, they already had a plan before they even set off.

They would move forward slowly, and only once most of Andrew’s team was indisposed, they’d harvest the kill.

Zhou Yu's beautiful emerald-green eyes glowed with bright, angry light.

"I said —— speed up!" Zhou Yu's palm shone with a fiery-red glow, exuding an extremely dangerous aura. 

The Outsider felt the threat of the light and was frightened into pressing the switch immediately, accelerating the speed.

The fog ahead quickly dissipated. At a distance that was inaccessible to the naked eye, the storm that had raged and wreaked havoc for many years also stopped to make way for the ship.

Cthulhu, who laid on the bottom of the sea, cleared all obstacles for his beloved human being, waiting sweetly for the arrival of his sweetheart.

See, he already said that once his beloved man knew his identity, he would crazily fall in love with him. Look how eagerly his human wanted to see him now!

Don’t rush, his beloved human. He also really wanted to see him too, but the most beautiful things in life could never be easily obtained, they would meet soon!

Cthulhu couldn't wait, but he wasn’t capable of leaving the Abyss yet since he still hadn’t merged with the fragment, so he could only sing in his heart the feelings of love.

His beloved human ah ——cutting across the storm and seas and was almost by his side! Such a deep and profound love ah! 

Cthulhu, moved by his imagination of love, happily moved his tentacles, setting off huge waves, successfully sinking several boats above the Laleille Abyss.

After Zhou Yu's ship left, another equally huge steam ship also set off.

The handsome blond man stood on the deck and gazed into the distance, looking somber.

The indifferent orange-haired woman stood beside him, hands behind her back, fists clenched so tightly she cut herself with her nails.

Andrew! Andrew! Andrew!!!!

How many more times will it take before you finally focus on more important things!

Thinking of the blonde girl Andrew had given her to take care of earlier, the orange-haired woman gritted her teeth, her heart burning with the flames of jealousy, ready to shove everything straight into hell.
