As far as Duanmu Huai was concerned, he had no desire to fight an Outer God on the level of Shub-Niggurath under these circumstances. Fortunately, compared to the Chaos Gods, Shub-Niggurath was relatively easier to deal with—not because it was weaker than the Chaos Gods, but because the Chaos Gods possessed self-awareness and intelligence. Shub-Niggurath, however, was more like a C'tan, more like an incarnation of a rule. Or rather, it was more like a C'tan that had not yet acquired a body and merely absorbed energy around a star.
It had no sufficiently clear sense of self, nor any sufficiently clear goal. It simply acted according to its instincts and rules.
But this was not because it was stupid. It was simply because it was strong. Just like ■■■■, it did not need to expend energy thinking about how to defeat its enemies, because it was unstoppable and invincible. Nothing could stand in its way, and nothing could threaten it.
And so, naturally, it had no need to think. It could do whatever it wanted, however it wanted.
Nothing could stop them.
Actually, in Duanmu Huai's view, the Outer Gods posed less of a threat to humanity than the Chaos Gods. The essence of the Chaos Gods was actually that of parasites. They had to devour the souls of living beings to maintain their existence. Once all intelligent life in the entire Milky Way Galaxy perished, the Chaos Gods would die along with them. That was why the Chaos Gods would do everything they could to tempt humanity into corruption, using all kinds of methods to obtain their souls.
But the Outer Gods were different. Whether you lived or died made no difference to them. It was like how humans did not care whether a colony of ants lived
