As Lovecraft Put It / Feeding People Is Our Specialty

"Ymir's head became the sky, his brains became the clouds, his body became the earth, his blood became the ocean, his bones became the mountains, and his hair became the trees..."

"When his body rotted and maggots appeared, these things became Light Elves and Dark Elves."

"Furthermore, similar accounts can be found in other, older myths of the Central Court..."

"One possibility is coincidence, but the fact that early civilizations scattered across the world almost unanimously adopted similar creation concepts suggests there must be an unknown connection between them."

Compared to the Pangu Civilization, the Eternal Race, and the Asgardian God Clan, the angelic civilization was far too short-lived.

Furthermore, due to the cover-up by those with ulterior motives, the concept of similar world origins is quite scarce.

Hexi opened the Tianji System interface, carefully recorded the content of the tea party, and stored it as a top-secret document.

Kevin picked up the conversation and continued recounting his earlier speculation.

"Remember the Ghidorah and Titan Ape we encountered on Earth? We collectively called them [War Beast]. They were the ultimate product of the Pangu Clan's biological civilization technology."

"The remains of these Beast Body Gods are probably the War Beast created by the Pangu Civilization, while the giant's bones are likely part of the Pangu Clan's project to God Creation Project."

"Judging from the condition of this graveyard, these ancient gods and ferocious beasts most likely perished one after another while fleeing the Hongmeng Galaxy due to some unknown entity..."

Hexi frowned, and subconsciously uttered the words that had been suppressed in her throat.

"You mean... Ultimate Fear!"

Kevin nodded seriously, but a hint of worry also appeared on his face.

"Besides this, I really can't think of anything else that could cause these ancient gods to flee their homes in such a frenzy, die en masse, and become fossils floating in space..."

Even such a great civilization became lambs to the slaughter under the Ultimate Fear. How can we, who are inferior in every way, possibly fight against this indescribable existence?

A deep sense of powerlessness welled up from Hexi's heart.

As she delved deeper into the truth of the universe, she seemed to see a terrifying outline in the dark, starlit void.

In the darkness, pairs of eyes cruelly scrutinized these ants who had curiously poked their tentacles out of the cave.

"Don't worry, the Ultimate Fear are not invincible. I've tried trapping them with the Infinity Stones, and the results were remarkable..."

"Moreover, while their deaths were somewhat related to Ultimate Fear, they were mainly due to internal strife."

Kevin spoke gently, patting Hexi's shoulder. Then, he zoomed in on several of the data models on the holographic projections and pointed them out to his friend.

"Look, the remains of these War Beasts and Pangu Clan are mostly intertwined, locked in a fierce battle."

"But after such a fierce conflict, those unspeakable beings didn't even leave a trace, which is simply illogical."

"I think the arrival of Ultimate Fear caused the Pangu Clan, who were powerless to resist, to flee en masse."

"However, due to some unknown unforeseen event, these War Beasts, unwilling to be controlled or perhaps going berserk, nearly slaughtered the remaining Pangu Clan halfway through their journey."

After carefully comparing the traces and confirming that Kevin's speculation was well-founded, Hexi's indescribable sense of powerlessness subsided slightly.

As the somber and oppressive atmosphere in the pavilion gradually brightened, the Heavenly Foundation King, realizing he had somewhat lost his composure, couldn't help but feel embarrassed and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

"It seems the older you get, the more timid you become. I was actually scared; it's a bit embarrassing..."

"Me too. If I hadn't been forced into this, I would have ordered Heavenly Blade No. 5 to turn around and run away long ago."

Kevin smiled and took out two boxes of chewing gum from the Spatial Rift. He opened the metal lids and invited Hexi and Hela to chew a few pieces to relieve stress.

The two deities, who were also greatly shocked, gladly accepted it.

The long-awaited freshness and sweet and sour flavors blossomed on everyone's taste buds. The Three Kings exchanged smiles, easing their tension somewhat.

Section 1072, Chapter 1027: Thus Lovecraft Speaks

Fear stems from the unknown, and the end of knowledge is ignorance.

As Kevin pondered, he couldn't help but recall Hatsune Miku's explanation of Ultimate Fear, and he vaguely gained some insight.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that her friend seemed lost in thought, Hexi got up and asked her with concern.

Kevin snapped out of his reverie, chuckled, and shook his head.

"It's nothing, I just remembered a famous quote from an author on Earth. I didn't quite understand it before, but now I feel it deeply."

The man shrunk the holographic projection, bringing the awe-inspiring Graveyard of Gods into view, and then opened his lips to murmur meaningfully.

"The oldest and strongest emotion of humankind is fear; and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown."

Upon hearing this, Hexi was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously, deeply moved.

"Same feeling..."

"The closer I get to the Hongmeng Galaxy, the more I explore the truth related to the Void Civilization, the more an indescribable fear arises in my heart."

"Furthermore, even now, we still cannot understand their behavioral logic and true purpose."

Kevin shrugged helplessly and muttered a joke.

"Even if these guys don't cause trouble, our innate curiosity as Divine River Body will eventually wake them up..."

"So, since it's a test we'll have to face sooner or later, whether we stick our necks out or not, we'll still get hurt anyway, so what's there to be afraid of..."

However, although he was aware of the inevitable connection between the Void Civilization and Cthulhu Creatures, he also had no idea why these creatures were so keen on destroying civilizations.

Perhaps this trip to the Hongmeng Galaxy will give him some answers that bring him closer to the truth.

Just as the three were about to change the subject and chat about something lighthearted, Heavenly Blade No. 5 swayed slightly, and Angel Leng Wind rushed into the pavilion.

"We have reached the edge of the Hongmeng Galaxy, and we have discovered a very ancient energy barrier along the edge."

Hexi and the other two nodded to each other and followed Angel Leng to the front of Heavenly Blade No. 5.

Before them, tens of thousands of stars floated and moved along the light barrier. Whenever the energy touched a node, the light from each star would light up in turn, collectively neutralizing the bombardment.

"According to the analysis of the space-based network, this Starlight Barrier is supported by the free energy and celestial radiance of the entire Hongmeng Galaxy..."

"If we were to force our way through, we'd need at least seven or eight overcharged Heavenly Blade Judgment to have any chance of breaking through, which would take at least another half month..."

"Furthermore, the trajectories of the energy nodes above are modeled after ancient star maps. Without sufficient reference data, it's almost impossible to calculate the key to unlocking this thing..."

After deciphering the message with her eyes closed for a moment, Hexi's expression turned solemn.

But just as the angels thought they were about to be helpless and were feeling dejected, the Heavenly Foundation King snapped his fingers and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"However, I detected signs that this Starlight Barrier has been opened twice..."

"So, thank you to the two guys who dug the mouse hole before us; it saved us a lot of trouble..."

Upon hearing this, the angels couldn't help but show their delight.

If what Hexi said is true, and this Starlight Barrier was breached twice in a short period of time, then it can be basically concluded that it was Morgana's Demon Legion and the Queen Holy Kaisa's angel army.

In other words, they will soon be able to see the Angel King they have been longing for and their sisters who once fought alongside them.

Seeing that morale was boosted, Hexi did not forget to put on a stern face and give a serious reminder.

"Don't be too happy yet! We've seen what's on the road; who knows what's ahead!"

"All personnel! Stay alert! Cover Heavenly Blade No. 5 as it passes through the Starlight Barrier!"

A group of female angels, with solemn and dignified expressions, pounded their right fists on their chests in unison, raising their Sword of Flames high.

"Yes, sir!"

Kevin and Hela exchanged a glance, then stood on either side of Heavenly Blade No. 5, adjusting themselves to their optimal state.

With everything ready, Hexi stretched out a pair of pure white wings and slowly rose into the air, pointing her right hand at the Starlight Barrier and extending her fingers forward.

In just a few breaths, the vast starlight rippled like water, and the Space Wormhole connecting the inner and outer walls gradually took shape.

After the reactivated Heavenly Blade No. 5 passed through a barrier resembling a water film, the brief moment of atomic aggregation in everyone's bodies caused a brief period of mental disorientation.

When they came to their senses, they were shocked to find themselves in a vast, colorful interstellar dust cloud.

As Heavenly Blade No. 5 advanced in parallel, the displaced dust cloud surged violently, and the surrounding vibrant colors were mesmerizing.

But the moment the space fortress activated, Kevin and Hela felt a chill run down their spines, their hair stood on end, and they grabbed the angels who were scouting ahead and retreated, shouting angrily.

"Get out of the way! There's something in the fog!"

At the same time, thousands of purplish-black, ribbon-like tentacles emerged from the surging dust and swept towards the people on Heavenly Blade No. 5.

At the tip of those whiskers, a large mouth with ring-shaped sharp teeth frantically devoured and tore at everything around it, swarming towards the large creature with silver wings.

"Boom!"

The Heavenly Blade No. 5, bearing the brunt of the impact, shook violently, causing the Starlight Barrier it constructed to flicker between light and shadow.

The tentacles, which had been repelled, opened their mouths and let out sharp roars, then lunged even more frantically at their prey.

However, the veterans that Hexi brought were also seasoned veterans.

They immediately floated up, each holding Sword of Flames, and aimed at one of the tentacles, forcefully unleashing a crescent -Crescent Arc Light hundreds of meters wide.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

With a dull thud as the blade pierced flesh, the tentacle snapped, and the energy at the point of contact roared, displaying a power comparable to a nuclear explosion.

The remaining parts of the tentacles, severely damaged, screamed as they retreated into the colorful dust cloud.

"That's it? It's not that great!"

The leading Angel Leng glanced disdainfully in the direction the tentacle creature had fled, and arrogantly raised its chin.

They, the angels, have once again triumphed over evil! A slight smile played on Leng's lips as she flew forward, preparing to lead Heavenly Blade No. 5.

However, a figure with six wings on its back suddenly descended, tearing through space, abruptly grabbing her shoulder and violently throwing her towards Heavenly Blade No. 5.

The Skyfire Annihilation!

Kevin conjured a replica of the Skyfire Greatsword, frantically pouring energy into it. At the moment the weapon reached its limit, a blazing inferno burst forth towards the dust cloud in front of it.

In an instant, the substances and special gases along the way were rapidly ignited, and a clear expanse of starry sky immediately appeared ahead.

The Angel Leng, who had clearly seen the scene in the blank area, had her pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints, and felt a chill run through her heart.

What appeared before them was a purplish-red fleshy ball resembling a miniature celestial body! Those tentacles from before were actually its predatory organs!

The monster's structure was completely out of step with the norms of the Known Universe; its front was a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and deep in its throat, its eyes gleamed with a cold, dim yellow light.

If we had rushed up just now...

The Angel Leng lingering fear upon thinking about this.

But as a stubborn angel, she forcefully dispelled her fear of the unknown, gathered a group of angels, and piloted the wing cannons of Heavenly Blade No. 5 to bombard the monster.

In an instant, two blazing white beams of light erupted from the wing-shaped energy vents on the space fortress, violently engulfing the monster.

P. S.: There's more to come; I'm writing it now.

Chapter 1028, Section 1073: Feeding, We're Professionals

Under the surge of energy, the tentacles around the monster gradually melted, its body expanded violently, and then it exploded with a bang.

However, before everyone could catch their breath, these shattered pieces of flesh began to wriggle and multiply wildly, quickly regaining nearly a third of their original size.

This guy's recovery speed is dozens of times faster than the angel's Divine Atom positioning!

Moreover, even if any single cell escapes, it can regenerate!

Hexi's thoughts raced, his pupils reflecting a dense waterfall of data. His gaze towards the Starry Sky Monster revealed deep apprehension, and he immediately stretched out his right hand and clenched it tightly.

Instantly, Flare Furnace, resembling a golden Light Orb, enveloped the Starry Sky Monster.

In the instant the Flare Furnace compressed to its limit, terrifying Stellar Energy permeated almost every cell of this monster.

"Boom!"

Immediately, a blinding cross-shaped halo exploded, and the frantically struggling Starry Sky Monster let out a loud cry like an infant, its body gradually dissolving until it vanished into nothingness.

Before the aftershocks subsided, everyone suddenly realized that the dust cloud that had been cleared from one area had unknowingly filled the gap again.

Even worse, the cries of babies began to echo from all around.

Could it be that there isn't just one thing, but a whole group of them?
