Without the protection of the barrier, humanity faced the indescribable greatness of Gheros, and the Music of the Spheres that transcended human understanding yet were exquisitely beautiful, resounded throughout the entire Waterblue Star.

The Waterblue Star naturally suppresses extraordinary power, but this suppression does not pose much of a problem for the most powerful being— Gheros.

Under the influence of His own Music of the Spheres, all the inert forces around Him began to revive, and the suppressed power within the human body began to surge. However, this was accompanied by the revival and invasion of various creatures.

In the coastal Marine Species of a certain country, a crab was searching for small fish and shrimp to fill its belly when, in the next moment, a ring descended from the sky and landed on the crab. The ancient Marine Species god, the great crab lord Basatan, had descended upon it.

His body grew at a visible speed, and his enormous claws broke through the water, snapping an oncoming fishing boat in two. The Lord of Crabs, with a ring floating on his head, stood up from the sea. His enormous size continued to grow and soon attracted the attention of coastal cities.

The missiles and torpedoes were launched towards the Crab Lord, but upon reaching Him, they mysteriously died, their bodies slithering sideways. The Crab Lord then landed, and all life forms that looked directly at Him suffered indescribable shocks.

An iceberg in the Arctic Circle suddenly began to move, moving like a fortress, while emitting dazzling light. This light caused the temperature to drop abnormally. A research vessel discovered this moving iceberg.

However, the research vessel was then attacked by some white Ghost. The crew members were forcibly taken to an iceberg, where they were bathed in a white, cold light. Their bodies began to freeze, their torsos turning an eerie white and remaining perpetually unnaturally cold, refusing to thaw even when heated by fire.

They were already dead before they saw the white worm. The white worm was the size of a seal, with only two eye sockets where they should have been eyes, from which red blood clots the size of eyeballs dripped continuously. In the center of its head was a large mouth without teeth or tongue. This was the White Worm, Lulim Shakolos.

Also on the seabed, accompanied by the eruption of an underwater volcano, an indescribable creature spewed out. This was an amorphous, deformed, and hideous being with various appendages and bizarre members. It had tentacles, a long nose, octopus eyes, and its body was covered with scales and wrinkles, but it had no fixed form. Of course, it could also be an image that humans could hardly describe.

Anyone who looks directly at Him, even if it is just a statue or portrait that is not fully real, will be petrified and turned into stone. The organs and tissues of the person being petrified will be completely solidified, and only the brain will remain alive. Although the person will still have the ability to perceive and think, they will be unable to move at all.

By damaging the brain's memory area, the petrified person can forget the image of the person and regain their freedom. However, although they can regain their freedom, the damaged memory area will drive the victim insane and cause them to lose their ability to think. But if the brain is repaired with the ability, the image will reappear in the victim's memory and petrify them again.

This great being, almost never seen by anyone, is called the Usurper, the Gatanothoa, God of Volcanoes, who is also the eldest son of Cthulhu (the final boss of Ultraman Tiga, Gatanothoa, is based on Gatanothoa).

In a city, after a fierce wind howled, a huge, emaciated humanoid figure, twisted and deformed by the wind, with webbed toes, fiery red eyes, and withered hair swaying in the wind like a ghost.

Wind-Walker, the Ithaqua, God of Icy Death, is a servant of Hastur. Upon his appearance, he unleashed a raging storm that ravaged the entire city, with only a few who had taken refuge in underground structures escaping with their lives.

But this is not a lucky thing. For the rest of their lives, they will hear the howling wind like a vengeful ghost, and the occasional footsteps like muffled thunder. When they are blown by the wind, they can see the twisted ghosts in the wind, and they will suffer their torment for the rest of their lives.

In the Severn Valley of England, deep within its network of underground tunnels, another great being, known as the "God of the Labyrinth," Eihort, descends amidst Music of the Spheres. A bulging, nearly oval giant body rests on countless fleshless legs, and eyes continually emerge from its oval, gelatinous body.

With His appearance, the nearby British people heard the voice from their hearts, asking if they wanted to sign a contract. If they didn't accept the contract, they would be killed by gazes or limbs that appeared from nowhere. If they accepted the contract, they would be injected with Eihort's immature embryo and nurture the crystallization of their love together.

Of course, these embryos will grow naturally inside the host and eventually kill the host. After killing the host, these little guys, who were originally afraid of light, will be able to survive independently without being harmed by light.

Besides, countless other great things descended from Waterblue Star. Accompanied by the Music of the Spheres of Gheros, there was no longer any force that could stop this world. Once Waterblue Star Annihilation, there will be no more obstacles on Gheros's path to the main world.

In the dark side of the Waterblue Star, through the gaps in the darkness, we can observe a maddening scene: in that unknown darkness, something darker than darkness itself seems to be writhing, and finally, under the influence of the Music of the Spheres, it begins to move actively.

"Who am I?" Unknown messages rippled through the underground space, spreading towards the surface through the cracks. During this process, the dark, writhing entity continuously emitted various messages. "Am I Cheng Kui? Am I Zhong Sangtan? Am I the fulcrum? Am I the protagonist?"

With each question, a massive black object emerged from the cracks in the ground, eventually transforming into a mass of black matter that covered the entire city. This black matter coalesced, its surface Aggregation of spherical beads, and its outstretched tentacles were also composed of beads joined together.

If you look closely, you'll find human figures inside these spheres. Those familiar with the Waterblue Star will recognize that many of these figures are quite famous.

Ye Yu, the game developer; Su Yi, the book writer; Zhang Tianwang, the celebrity; and various other figures—they were all once pillars, escaping death at the hands of the gamers, only to be ultimately absorbed into the monster's body.

The material used to create the fulcrum was actually a round bead composed of the black substance from the monster's body. This bead became the foundation of the fulcrum and was then placed on the fulcrum, allowing it to connect with different worlds using this power.

The colossal dark entity, formed from countless spheres, began to collapse, transforming once more into a black mass. As if something had awakened, accompanied by Music of the Spheres, the indescribable black entity unleashed a violent stream of information, surging outwards. "I am Nyogtha, a dweller of darkness!!!"

Nyogtha, also known as the "Dweller of Darkness," is an Old One created by novelist Henry Carter. It manifests as a formless mass of dark matter that can be summoned to the surface through secret caves and fissures.

Legend has it that some sorcerers have seen him beneath the Black Tower in Syria and the Renn Plateau; he once appeared on the surface through the Ta'ang Caverns in Central Asia, bringing great fear and destruction to the Mongol Khan's army encampment. Once Nyogtha appears on the surface, only certain sacred objects, rituals, or spells can drive him back to his secret, sunless underground hideout.
