Chapter 75: The Final Winner of Dark Forces’ Chaotic Warfare in Needham Plain (Part 1)

Ximengsi Continent’s southern region, nearby Steinbeck Fief, outskirts of Needham Plain, Lost Murmans Regal Pyramid Area

Relying on enslavement magic, Clyde successfully controlled Cursed Queen Lafania and her younger sister Nightmare Queen Mephis. He accepted them as his kin. The properties of these two queens, including the money and valuables of Lamina as well as many other dynasties, also fell under Clyde’s name.

Under the suppression of the enslavement contract Clyde had used, Mephis’s original resentment was finally set aside. She no longer had thoughts about retaliating against the world. Without Clyde’s intervention, once the seals of these two sisters were broken, they would have definitely brought about destruction. The people of Ximengsi Continent would have been the first to be affected. The Great Old One, Evil God Clyde, unwittingly saved Ximengsi Continent.

By the time Clyde left the pyramid with the two queens, the allied forces of Demon Realm and Ghost Realm had already been totally defeated. After confirming Lafania and Mephis were truly affiliated with Clyde and were kin of The King in Yellow Hastur, God of the Air Ithaqua personally made a move. After the released hurricane, the allied armies of Demon and Ghost Realm were defeated; most were directly ripped into pieces by the wind blades.

“Lord Hastur, those ants were already dealt with.”

“Eh, Ithaqua, do you have a human shape? This form is too big.”

“Sorry, Lord Hastur, I don’t have a human form, but I will go look for one.”

After the destruction of Demon and Ghost Realm’s allied armies, God of the Air Ithaqua descended beside Clyde. Lafania and Mephis who had already received Clyde’s warning in advance subconsciously looked away, not daring to look straight at Ithaqua. Looking straight at a Great Old One’s true face almost always ended in tragedy. Other than Lucifer, that mysterious bloodkin Lolita who had only had her clothes burst, even Valkyrie Cynthia had been severely injured. These two queens knew this and their own power levels, so they didn’t attempt to challenge the limit.

After the allied armies of Demon and Ghost Realm retreated in defeat, Clyde asked Ithaqua to lead his kin and destroy the Demon Realm’s Gate as well as the Ghost Realm’s Gate that had both been accidentally opened by Miss Sigrid in those years long ago. As for the Dimensional Gate, he decided to seal it for the time being in order to avoid other Great Old Ones from suddenly crossing over here by chance and curiosity upon stumbling across the portal. If they really crossed over, that would be truly troublesome. Without even considering the other Great Old Ones, Cthulhu, that arch-rival of Hastur, was quite troublesome by himself. Currently, Clyde had no intentions in contending against other Great Old Ones for supremacy in this world.

“Ithaqua, after destroying the Demon Realm’s Gate and Ghost Realm’s Gate, restrict the Dimensional Gate. Oh, that’s right. When we meet again next time, I hope you will have already found a suitable human appearance.”

“Lord Hastur, I will carefully obey your instructions.”

After a hurricane burst out and rippled through the surrounding environment, Ithaqua disappeared into the sky, rushing toward Demon Realm and Ghost Realm’s Gates. Only after he left did Lafania and Mephis finally relax. The Great Old One made them feel a powerful pressure. When Clyde turned around to examine them, he discovered that the last pieces of clothing worn by these two beauties had accidentally been torn into pieces by the hurricane left by Ithaqua’s passing. He didn’t know whether his subordinate had done this intentionally or not, especially creating such a beneficial opportunity for its master.

“Lafania, Mephis, do you two have other clothes to change into?”

“Eh, when!”

Only after Clyde’s reminder did Lafania and Mephis realize that they were completely exposed. That transparent gauze cloth, as well as their undergarments that had been weaved with gold and platinum, had all been destroyed by that hurricane. Those golden and platinum ornaments lay scattered on the ground while emitting dazzling lusters. Both of them blushed and used their hands, attempting to hide their well-developed bosoms as well as those alluring bright red cherries. However, they hesitated for a moment before giving up on covering themselves.

Originally, the undergarments they had worn were of the openwork, appealing type designs. These clothes were more sensual than wearing nothing. In fact, they could have even been regarded as already being previously exposed. Clyde had already seen all their scenery, so concealing and covering themselves didn’t have much significance. Thinking this, their expression became much more natural. They were not as embarrassed as before, and their movements also relaxed.

“Master, you arrange for them! Anything you want us to wear, we will. Not wearing... not wearing anything is also fine.”

“Brother in Law... No, sorry, I misspoke. Master, you arrange them!”

“Eh, you two, change into this first!”

Lafania and Mephis had the appearance of being at a monarch’s disposal, almost making Clyde want to execute them on the spot. At his request, these enchanting queen sisters finally found some linen clothes to wear that barely covered their hot, alluring **. At this moment, Clyde recalled the matter of Light Church’s investigative team and hastily made those mummies look for them.

After Light Church’s investigative team had discovered the chaotic battle between the various dark forces here, they had planned to find a safe place to hide and observe the war situation. However, they had encountered a surprise attack by Ghost Realm’s demonic creatures. When Clyde arrived at the scene, he just saw a mess and couldn’t see any members of Light Church’s investigation team. A large number of mummies roamed to search for them.

“Your Majesty, the Queen. That investigative team was kidnapped. When we arrived here, the traces suggest that the people of Demon Realm and Ghost Realm had just left.”

“Eh, this is truly troublesome. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have let them come.”

According to the information provided by a mummy soldier, Light Church’s investigative team had encountered Ghost Realm’s Nether Shaman who had used Soul-Stirring Bell to take their souls into custody. Now, they might have already been pulled into the Ghost Realm. As for their corpses, the ghouls of Demon Realm had found them and carried them away. This was troublesome. The corpses and souls had been taken away by different forces. Now, even a God would find it hard to save them.

Generally, Nether Shaman rarely entered a war unless the higher-ups of Ghost Realm appeared. As for the Soul-Stirring Bell, it was a legendary Nether artifact. Unless one had the blessing and protection of a Divine Realm Valkyrie, even the Light Pope himself wouldn’t last a second. Those three Light Church’s saintesses would never have expected such a high-level demonic creature to appear in the Needham Plains, since it defied standard routine.

Fortunately, what even Gods couldn’t accomplish, for a Great Old One, it was often no difficult matter. Clyde’s kin, God of the Air Ithaqua who served The King in Yellow Hastur, had already gone to block up Demon Realm and Ghost Realm’s teleportation gates in advance with his other kin. The army of Demon Realm and Ghost Realm that had invaded Ximengsi Continent were kept off outside the teleportation gate. They looked at each other in blank dismay, hiding far away and not daring to step forward. Not to mention fighting against Ithaqua, just looking straight at its face would disintegrate them.

When Clyde arrived, he saw a spectacular scene. Countless allied soldiers of Demon Realm and Ghost Realm were blocked outside the teleportation gate by Ithaqua and another ten or so Great Old Ones, preventing this fearsome army from returning to their realm. After receiving Clyde’s instructions, Ithaqua didn’t destroy the teleportation gate but had rather stopped the people here.

“Those dozen or so souls of the Human Race, Lord Hastur wants them. Also leave behind their corpses, then you all can go. Otherwise...”

“Wait, don’t... don’t attack! Having a conversation about this would be good!”

“We agree. Can you let us see Lord Hastur!”

A terrifying hurricane blew up behind Ithaqua. Looking at his stance, he intended to completely destroy the allied armies of Demon Realm and Ghost Realm in front of him in one attack. Clyde could only say that it was truly frightening. With the strength of a Great Old One, even a single move might sink the entire Ximengsi Continent. If that time came, it would truly be a bad ending.

With regards to Demon Realm and Ghost Realm’s request, Clyde originally thought to refuse, but seeing the supreme commander of the opposite side was a girl, he temporarily changed his mind and decided to put on a grey cloak and appear after covering his true face.

The commander of the Demon Realm’s side of the united army was Demon Realm’s Princess Lilith while the commander of Ghost Realm’s army was Ghost Realm’s Goddess Eresugier. These two were using their battle forms, which didn’t resemble a human girl’s appearance. However, they had originally had humanoid forms. Lilith wore airtight black heavy armor with decorative demonic horns above the helmet. On her back were a pair of demonic wings. Eresugier was in a statue state, resembling a mysterious statue enveloped in black mist. From their voices, Clyde judged that the other parties were women.

“You two, your appearances... Forget it. Can you two hand them over to me?”

“Hastur... Lord Hastur, we didn’t know this place belonged to you. Can you let us go back? We truly didn’t know that those dozens of people were your sacrificial offerings!”

Under the attentive gaze of Ithaqua, Lilith and Eresugier were very respectful towards Clyde. They feared that using the wrong tone might make that God of the Air immediately make a move. As for the matter of Clyde wearing a cloak, making them unable to clearly see his face, they didn’t think much about it. Before, their subordinates hadn’t been able to look straight at Ithaqua without dying, so it made them believe that Clyde was also the same. Wearing a cloak was just making things convenient for them to meet, nothing more.

“It’s enough if you hand them over to me. I will not look into it this time. Next time...”

“We won’t dare for there to be a next time. We pledge to never come here again.”

For a moment, Clyde couldn’t find a reason to make these two beauties transform into their humanoid forms. After all, he was also not showing his true face, and it was not good to ask other people for such things. With regards to Clyde’s demands, the other party immediately agreed. A rare Corpse Transporting Carriage that contained the corpses of Light Church’s investigative team as well as the exquisite Soul-Stirring Bell, Lilith and Eresugier could only act very pleased to hand them over to Clyde. The strength gap between the two parties was too great; they had no choice.

Soul-Stirring Bell was a high-grade nether artifact. Generally, it was not lent out, but under the pressure of a Great Old One’s absolute strength, Ghost Realm’s Goddess Eresugier had to reluctantly part with this treasure. Clyde didn’t immediately use the objects because the returning of the souls to their rightful physical forms had to wait until he reached a safe area. After Clyde stored the Soul-Stirring Bell and Corpse Transporting Carriage, he bid God of the Air Ithaqua to let the armies of Demon and Ghost Realm pass. After they left, he still planned to destroy Demon Realm’s Gate and Ghost Realm’s Gate to guard against the unexpected.

“By the way, why did you all choose to invade this time?”

“This..., a goddess told us to.”

Facing Clyde’s questioning, Lilith and Eresugier hesitated for a moment. They looked at God of the Air Ithaqua and the others not far away behind Clyde before determining that all seemed to be from the dark camp. This couldn’t be regarded as some secret; thus, they confessed this to Clyde. As it turned out, a certain goddess of Divine Realm had secretly told them of the matter of Valkyrie Cynthia being transferred to the northernmost region in order to suppress Demonic Dragon Alcurus, and that the new Valkyrie had yet to take over. Therefore, the Demon and Ghost Realms had dispatched troops and had the misfortune to run into the Great Old Ones destroying the seals barring the dimensional gate and all come out together.

As for that goddess who had betrayed the Divine Realm, she was very crafty. When leaking the information, she hadn’t revealed her name. Lilith and Eresugier also didn’t know who that traitor goddess was. Originally, they had just come with the mentally of giving the opportunity a try without risking much.
