"That star... disintegrated on its own?" Queen Mother of the West murmured.
Lin Qiye seemed to realize something, his brows knitting tightly. "The vanguard of the Lovecraftian Deity... an omen of destruction... Damn it, from the very beginning, it never intended to kill all of Earth's gods by itself. It deliberately lured the gods into space, then took the opportunity to disintegrate and destroy Earth's living beings!
Its goal was to wipe out Earth's living beings on a massive scale, thereby reducing the birth of the Power of Faith?"
The first Lovecraftian Gods invasion had been driven back by the ancestral gods who possessed immense faith. So, during this second invasion, they had directly sent the Death Star as their vanguard, intending to use its sacrifice to destroy Earth's living beings outright. It was just like the mist during the third invasion, which had massacred living beings across the entire globe!
The difference was that the Death Star of the second invasion had failed in history, while the mist of the third invasion had succeeded.
"We have to stop those fragments!" Lin Qiye immediately said.
"What about Cthulhu's true body? Are we just ignoring it?" Chloe asked.
"Cthulhu can cause only limited casualties right now, but those fragments falling from the sky are enough to destroy human civilization!" Lin Qiye did not hesitate in the slightest. "With this Willow Branch, I can find it whenever I want. We deal with the more important matter first."
Queen Mother of the West shared roughly the same view as Lin Qiye. Her gaze remained fixed on the dense fragments as she said gravely:
"Too many... Fourteen alone are about to land within Great Han territory, and the farthest ones are at the eastern border..."
"Let's split up." Light flickered in Lin Qiye's eyes.
