A body of chaos

Whenever Bai Mo felt he had a clear understanding of the mischievous abilities of these Magecraft, they would often ruthlessly shatter Bai Mo ideas with reality.

If Abigail hadn't been stabilized, this tiny Salem might have welcomed two of the three pillar gods. One has to marvel at how Raum managed to create something like this with the magic power of 50,000 people.

"Ritsuka, can we teleport? With so many avatars appearing at once, I'm afraid the main body will have to come."

Bai Mo's voice was very deep. Haunter of the Dark, Howler in the Dark, and the Bloated Woman were all incarnations of Nyarlathotep, along with the Crawling Chaos above. Bai Mo felt that Ritsuka couldn't stay here any longer; if it were truly the real Ritsuka, even looking directly at her might cause trouble.

"It should be okay."

Ritsuka nodded to the side. In front of the boundless the Starry Night, she felt her blood rushing, and large beads of sweat dripped down as if she had been drenched in a downpour.

But she resolutely raised her head and looked at Bai Mo.

"But I won't leave. Even if I risk moving there, leaving you, my comrade, behind will make it impossible for me to move an inch."

Hearing Ritsuka's slightly trembling yet firm words, Bai Mo stopped arguing. Continuing would only trample on her resolve.

"Alright, Nyarlathotep noticed this place, most likely because of something... Investigate the ritual left by Raum first, and if it's because of this, destroy it completely."

Not far away, the corpse of the Demon God Pillar, which had been chopped into eight pieces, was still emitting a strange magical power. Ritsuka and the Queen of Sheba made a decisive move and attacked the Demon God Pillar, but a strange light appeared on the corpse of the Demon God Pillar.

Come here!

A burst of light erupted, leaving everyone momentarily stunned by the unexpected turn of events. Then, Bai Mo and Ritsuka exclaimed in unison, "Never mind! Can anything be more deadly than that guy?"

Everyone stepped inside. Bai Mo grabbed Abigail and Lavinia, and dragged everyone towards that place. A sharp sound, never heard before, came from afar. Then, the Starry Night seemed to come alive, tightly enveloping Bai Mo's body.

He was almost one with the Starry Night, his consciousness sinking into the deep sea. The next moment, he grabbed Abigail and Lavinia and threw them out violently.

Lavinia's figure was instantly engulfed by the light, while Abigail was grabbed by the ankle by the enormous Haunter of the Dark. The girl screamed in fright, and the light began to spread, engulfing the others.

"No, wait!"

Circe tried to turn back and grab Bai Mo, but the eerie light seemed to be alive, enveloping her and then extending tentacles to grab Abigail's wrist.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Like a tug-of-war, neither of the two was willing to let go of Abigail, while Bai Mo could barely feel his fingers anymore. He wanted to exert force, but could hardly move them at all.

At the same time, the feeling was incredibly wonderful, like falling into a bathtub full of salmon sashimi, with every pore of the body surprised by this unprecedented sensation.

"Calm down, try to sense it, try to sense it, try to understand it, at least be able to move a finger..."

The Haunter of the Dark in the air tugged at the light, which grew weaker and weaker. The woman in the cheongsam walked step by step toward Abigail. Bai Mo simply closed his eyes and immersed himself wholeheartedly in this strange power.

He felt as if something was trying to break free from his body. He could seem to see through his neck and knees, even though there were no eyes there.

The Starry Night surrounding him seemed to ripple, and the next moment, Bai Mo raised his finger, and an invisible force swept across the space. Haunter of the Dark turned his head in surprise, and the invisible force pointed directly at his wrist.

It released its grip, and the illusory light on Abigail's fingertips vanished, as if that was the limit of the light. But she was only two steps away from it.

She turned to look at Bai Mo, who had been submerged. Bai Mo could barely control his vocal cords as he slowly extended a finger, pointing it directly at the distant light.

Walk.

The leader of the Haunter of the Dark gave an awkward smile, seemingly unconcerned about Abigail's impending departure.

It's like the appetizer has been spilled, but the main course is already on the table.

Bai Mo raised his head and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. He looked into the deep darkness and confirmed that it was watching him. This was at least good news; at least he was the only one being observed.

Was it during the era of the Sea of Imaginary Numbers?

Bai Mo recalled the strange feeling he had in the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, a place that connected him to Ninkigal, which was infinitely far away. Since the gods of the Kreece system truly existed, such a place could not possibly be without their sight.

In the Crawling Chaos, a twisted being peculiarly emerged, its face a thousand faces, all gazing at him with smiles. He heard it; it seemed to be "speaking" to him.

It was a sound that could not be described in human language, yet it exploded directly in his mind.

"????? pinch pinch"

Abigail reached out and touched her forehead. Leaving—of course she could. It would only take two steps, but what point would it make for her?

Those who care about her are about to be devoured, and Lavinia has less than a day to live. Even if Ritsuka and the others accept her, she cannot accept it.

You want to save him, don't you?

A familiar voice reached her ears—it was her uncle's voice. But Raum had indeed just died. Abigail didn't want to think about whether it was Raum or something else. She nodded heavily.

"Alright, it seems you're the only one capable of doing this right now. It will take a long time, but fortunately, time is meaningless to the Lord of the Gate."

A beam of light touched Abigail's forehead, and the next moment, the surrounding environment changed drastically.

Boundless light surged, and ancient languages echoed in the boundless deep space. Abigail slowly walked towards Bai Mo, step by step, her golden hair turning pale again, and twisted tentacles appeared behind her.

The keyhole on his forehead reflected his eyes, meeting Bai Mo's gaze.

Bai Mo felt as if a supernova had exploded inside his head. The abstract voice echoed in his ears, and this time, he seemed to understand its meaning.

It's contaminated!

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Mo felt a sticky sensation on her face. Opening her eyes, she saw a black tentacle, about the diameter of a car tire, gently stroking her cheek. Abigail was sitting on her, her eyes filled with worry.
