It has a humanoid silhouette, an octopus-like head, and a body covered in a gelatinous substance of scales.

It has giant claws and a pair of long, narrow wings on its back.

A bloated body covered in slime, a huge green form, staggered out of the darkness.

The figure of Cthulhu began to appear in this sea of stars.

Shen Hui hadn't expected that Cthulhu's image would be projected.

As Shen Hui looked at Cthulhu's figure, a hint of madness involuntarily crept into his otherwise normal eye.

All of this is just wonderful!

What a great being He is! He deserves to be worshipped by the world.

Shen Hui couldn't help but want to sing praises to Him.

However, Cthulhu appeared to these people as nothing more than a huge, dark figure.

They couldn't look directly at it; their understanding hadn't reached that level.

However, once they reach that point, they would likely have already dissipated into a frenzied consciousness or returned to darkness.

That's all; their madness has twisted them into lumps of flesh.

That area could no longer be called a face; it was uneven, covered with tumors and eyeballs.

It formed a sinister, Eldritch Beings, and insane grin, gazing at Cthulhu amidst the stars.

Shen Hui continued watching, since Cthulhu had already projected his own image.

That means, what message is He trying to convey?

Shen Hui wasn't sure, but he assumed it was true.

These people, twisted into spheres of flesh, are in their ears and in their minds.

A series of low, eerie sounds could be heard.

Although I couldn't understand the language, I could grasp the meaning.

The sound also reached Shen Hui's ears.

These are the whispers of the Great Old One.

And the meaning behind it--

When the stars are in their proper places, chaos will rise from the earth, and the great beginning will awaken.

In short, the stars are currently in the wrong positions, preventing Cthulhu from awakening.

When Shen Hui understood this sentence, he also had a sudden realization.

Yes!

How could I have forgotten that?

The reunion of the stars is an incredibly momentous occasion for the Cthulhu universe.

All the Outer Gods Great Old One disappeared and went into slumber.

It is merely descending in an avatar.

A large part of the reason is that the stars did not reach their designated positions.

For example, the place where Cthulhu sleeps, the magnificent city of R'lyeh.

It was because the stars were in the wrong positions that they sank to the bottom of the sea.

Once the stars are in place, R'lyeh will resurface, and the great Cthulhu will awaken from within.

Even if Shen Hui continuously condenses Cthulhu using the Power of Faith.

But when the stars are put back in their places, Cthulhu's power will certainly be different from before.

Cthulhu's projection is now a message to these people: let the stars return to their rightful place.

He will awaken from his slumber.

Therefore, Cthulhu had these people perform a summoning ritual to summon another great being to restore the stars to their proper places.

However, these people did not know what this great being was, because they simply did not understand it.

But Shen Hui knew.

And this great being was named Gla'aki.

The Star of Judgement – Gla'aki.

A powerful Outer Gods, also known as the Harbinger of Destruction.

Where He appears, the stars will be put back in their proper places, bringing terrible disasters and destruction.

This is related to His own abilities.

Gla'aki will wander the universe, driving the stars and the world back to their proper state.

Awaken the slumbering existence.

The reason for restoring the stars to their proper places and awakening the sleeping Great Old One and Outer Gods.

This is because Gla'aki would constantly emit a strange, high-pitched whistling sound, which was called the Music of the Spheres.

And all the stars in the galaxies that hear this sound will return to their original positions.

This sound will awaken all that is asleep.

To put it in simpler terms...

Gla'aki just wanders around the universe, carrying around a huge speaker that plays all sorts of high-energy, cheesy DJ music.

Forget about sleeping, get up and party!

The kind of sound that even plugging your ears can't block.

This is one reason why Gla'aki is called the Star of Judgement and the Destruction Harbinger.

The moment He appears, it signifies the inevitable end for humanity.

It might even be the end for the Outer Gods, the Great Old One.

In the Cthulhu mythos, the origin of the entire universe comes from a dream of Azathoth Blind Idiot God.

These Outer Gods were also born from this.

The sound emanating from Gla'aki might awaken Azathoth from his slumber.

No Outer Gods or Great Old One wanted Azathoth to awaken.

No one knows what will happen to the universe after He awakens, or what will actually occur.

Therefore, Gla'aki is very unpopular in the Cthulhu universe.

However, it is true that if He can be summoned, the stars can be restored and Cthulhu can be awakened.

Those who had been twisted into lumps of flesh did not understand what Cthulhu was trying to convey to them.

They did not know Gla'aki.

However, Cthulhu then began to force-feed them endless knowledge.

This includes the matter of Gla'aki.

But this is contingent on these people being able to withstand the transmission of this insane ideology.

It's obvious that they simply can't afford it.

After all, even in the Death World, those Potions who are most adaptable to madness and whose SAN value decreases are among the most powerful.

Neither of them could willingly accept what Cthulhu gave them.

They can only passively pursue the power they seek within Cthulhu's dream world.

"Bang bang bang bang~"

A series of cracking sounds rang out in the darkness.

All the people who had been twisted into balls of flesh began to explode.

Because the knowledge Cthulhu gave them was too much to bear, they finally met their ultimate demise.

Blood, entrails, and minced flesh exploded into beautiful fireworks at this moment.

It blossoms in the darkness beneath the starry sky.

And among those who could appreciate this beautiful scene, only Shen Hui remained.

Shen Hui knew that all these strange phenomena had finally come to an end.

Cthulhu's enormous figure began to gradually dissipate.

That sliver of attention returned to its original form and fell asleep along with it.

The darkness collapsed, vanishing completely.

The light returned—moonlight, the lights of the houses.

Those who had just been swallowed into the darkness were not yet able to react.

I was stunned, not knowing what I had just been doing.

Those who sink into deeper darkness are those whose minds have been stimulated, whose reason has declined beyond repair.

And those at the deepest level are the ones who have already been turned into flesh and blood fireworks and exploded.

Dead beyond dead.

But at least they were happy, joyful, and excited before they died.

Everything vanished without a trace, leaving no clue whatsoever.

But it is also full of traces; this world is full of Cthulhu traces.

Cthulhu has been here, to this world...

A subtle change is taking place.
