Triggering the Great Ruin

Looking at these terrifying creatures that were transformed from humans.

The martial artists' expressions turned serious, because they simply couldn't analyze these humans.

How did it turn into this Tentacles form?

These Tentacles have circular grooves that resemble octopus suckers.

At this moment, a crack appeared, revealing bloodshot eyes filled with madness.

The city guards saw the Esoteric Order of Dagon members in such a state.

I couldn't help but feel awe for that great being.

"Hmph, no matter how they change, they're still just a bunch of weaklings."

These martial artists unleashed their full power, transforming into phantoms and vanishing from their original positions.

He appeared next to these tentacle monsters in the next instant.

With a chilling intent, the fist struck directly at the tentacle monster.

Their bodies shattered instantly, but the most intact parts immediately began to wriggle and multiply.

It quickly returned to its original state.

And at that very moment, even more people poured into the Steam City.

Without exception, all of these people had large eyes and were rather overweight.

"Ignorant invaders! Get out of our city!"

Seeing more people appear, these martial artists felt no fear whatsoever.

"You only have one choice: surrender and let us take over the city!"

When communication failed again, the bodies of these humans began to swell.

Their skin began to secrete mucus, and their heads began to Shapeshifting.

Its eyes bulge out, and its head resembles a fish's head.

A row of fish scales grew on its back, and its hands and feet turned into webbed feet like a frog's.

These are all offspring born from the union of Deep Ones and humans.

They had long lived in the small town of Innsmouth, but now, summoned by the Esoteric Order of Dagon, they had all come here.

After humans transformed into Deep Ones, their physical strength underwent a qualitative leap.

Watch as these human forms change once again.

A sense of foreboding arose in the hearts of these martial artists.

Because the strength displayed by the opponent did not rely on steam civilization.

That means the opponent's strength is something separate from the steam civilization.

As the creator, Sun Jingjing had similar thoughts when she saw these people in Shen Hui's world.

"This Shen Hui is so strange. This steam civilization doesn't fit at all. Why did he create such a civilization?"

However, no matter how hard Sun Jingjing thought about it, she couldn't have imagined it.

After all, according to common sense, the civilization created in the Creation World is naturally the worldview and system of world development.

Who could have guessed that Shen Hui's steam civilization was merely a byproduct of developing the true worldview of the Death World?

Without another word, the martial artists charged out and launched their attack.

They used their martial arts techniques in conjunction with technological weapons.

With a punch, a tiny cannon muzzle opened on the mechanical fist, and a tiny cannonball shot out with the force of the punch.

It exploded directly on the ground, and the Deep Ones and tentacle monsters affected by the blast were all seriously injured.

However, their self-healing speed is also extremely fast.

Overall, however, they were completely overwhelmed compared to the strength of these martial artists.

Nearly a third of the city's buildings were destroyed, and many Common perished in the battle.

The tentacle monster that had been transformed by drinking the Potions was already dead, turning to ashes directly under the attacks of these mechanical warriors.

Many of the hybrid Deep Ones also perished, and the remaining ones were unable to withstand the onslaught and suffered repeated defeats.

Sun Jingjing was extremely pleased with herself. As long as things continued like this, victory in this battle would be hers.

She felt that this was the end.

Shen Hui, who had been watching the battle closely, believed that this was just the beginning.

It witnessed the path that emerged from the fusion of steam civilization with Cthulhu and resistance against the Great Ruin.

Shen Hui was quite satisfied; they had already become very powerful by growing to this level on their own.

But to deal with these mechanical warriors, we still have to rely on them...

Next, it's time to begin the Great Ruin.

With a thought from Shen Hui, within the area of Land of New Life...

Dark clouds began to cover the sky, and the sky quickly darkened.

Dark gray fog began to appear out of thin air, making everything hazy.

The city guards in the Steam City, along with the Esoteric Order of Dagon and these hybrid Deep Ones.

Their expressions all changed.

In their view, the Great Ruin was ultimately triggered prematurely by these invaders!

To this day, they still don't know how those strange and Eldritch Beings creatures in the Great Ruin came into being or how they appeared.

They can appear anywhere in everyday life.

It brought not just destruction, but also fear.

Even after they came into contact with the Deep Ones, they developed their own unique beliefs.

But they are powerless to resist until the great Cthulhu is awakened.

The only way is to follow the rules passed down from generation to generation, the rules related to those strange tales and Eldritch Beings creatures.

Only then can we avoid it in daily life.

However, with the arrival of the Great Ruin, all these rules will become invalid.

The annual Great Ruin has returned once again.

In all the Steam City, everyone hid in their homes.

All the Deep Ones have returned to the underwater city.

Even the city guards and hybrid Deep Ones who were fighting the mechanical warriors all fled immediately, no longer caring about the current battle situation.

Seeing this strange occurrence, the mechanical warriors had no idea why they were running away.

Could it be that they are no match for them?

But if they were no match for them, why would they have fought for so long?

Just as they were about to give chase, the guild leader leading these martial artists sensed something.

He immediately spoke in a deep voice, "Don't chase them! The space here is changing!"

As he finished speaking, they suddenly realized...

The surrounding environment seemed to have shed its glamorous exterior.

It revealed the ugly inner layer.

All the metal buildings were covered in rust.

The ground became sticky and damp.

The air was thick with the stench of decay.

The brightness suddenly turned grayish.

Their emotions, which were controlled by the mechanical system, began to fluctuate.

This place instilled in them an instinctive fear, an instinctive sense of danger.

Yet, it feels perfectly natural here.

It was as if what they had seen and experienced before was merely the surface of this world.

What is being revealed now is the real world.

The fog obscured their vision, rendering even their thermal imaging equipment useless.

Everything here is so cold.

It was as if the entire city had vanished, leaving only them behind.

"President, what... what's going on here?"

"I don't know, but I feel it's extremely dangerous here. Everyone's on high alert."

"Come with me, let's go find those people in this world!"

Based on their memories of what happened before the fog covered the area, they began to walk forward.

But they walked for a long time without seeing a single building.

They seemed to truly not be in the city.

Suppressing these negative emotions is the first step in breaking through their emotional control system.

But after walking for a short while, they finally saw a low but rather large building ahead.

As they approached, they found the building to be somewhat dilapidated.

It also exuded a strong, bloody stench.

Just as they were preparing for their next move, a deep, resonant voice came from the building's main entrance.

"Anyone here to buy meat? We've accumulated a lot more stock these past few years."
