An Qingyu smiled faintly without saying anything.
"Lovecraftian Gods, an Artificial God... just how many secrets had you hidden over these past four years?"
"You would find out sooner or later."
"For example, today?" Lin Qiye glanced back. The numerous Lovecraftian Gods had completely surrounded the three Explorer Ships, divine powers flashing one after another as thunderous roars shook the heavens. "Burying all of us in these waters—is that what you wanted?"
