Meanwhile.
In an ethereal void, a magnificent and mysterious hall stood silently.
The entire hall emitted a faint golden glow, soft and holy, illuminating the surrounding void and dispelling the endless darkness and nothingness.
Yet three monsters were gathered there openly: a Spider, an octopus, and a centipede.
The Spider raged, "Damn Evil Gods, they actually stole my things!"
"And they refused to back down. I thought they were just a group of unreasonable lunatics."
"Lofty beings who had long since attained eternity."
"You mean that pearl? Is it really that important?" the octopus asked.
"Of course it is. It can make our worlds more stable, perhaps even eternal," the Spider said bluntly.
"Is it really that powerful?" the octopus asked in disbelief.
Waving its thousands of legs, the centipede said, "No, no. I'd bet it's bait."
"I know it's bait too. But sometimes, when bait is right at your mouth, there's a high chance you'll swallow it," the Spider said greedily.
"That's right. Plenty of fishermen have had their bait eaten and returned empty-handed, only to be mocked," the octopus said, suddenly interested as well.
The three occupied different territories, and they kept what happened within their respective domains secret from one another.
If the Spider had been confident of opposing the Cthulhu Evil God system this time, it would never have revealed this matter.
By informing the other two, it could at least get one-third.
If it told them nothing, it would get no benefit at all.
Because it had no confidence in defeating Cthulhu's monsters.
After all, in the Void World, they were famous far and wide.
Their appearance was practically synonymous with invincibility.
They could only be banished or sealed, never truly destroyed.
Moreover, they possessed countless truths.
Hearing this, the centipede still shook its head.
