Deep World
Without gender or emotion, a voice high above, seemingly scornful of everything, echoed between heaven and earth.
It even appeared directly in Shen Hui's mind.
Shen Hui wasn't surprised that the other party knew him.
But what did they mean by that? Did they already have something to be wary of?
Cthulhu is on the verge of awakening, and the black seawater has already flooded and covered the entire battlefield.
A thunderous humming sound came from the depths of the sea, accompanied by an obscure and incomprehensible emphasis that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Tentacles, like underwater cables, are spreading from the deepest part of the Sea of Sea of Death toward this side.
Black Tentacles covered the earth, replacing it.
The aura emanating from Cthulhu is resurfacing, and the sheer power it exudes is already distorting everything around it.
This distortion, this creation from nothingness, allows darkness to take on various forms.
You can find knowledge in it, and you can find death in it.
Tentacles, as large as towering trees, rose from the ground, and various unconscious flesh and blood writhed incessantly.
This is the "New World," a holy site for those who follow the Cthulhu faith.
But for other life forms, this place is the source of all the unknown, the source of darkness, and filled with great terror.
However, just as these things were reviving, Cthulhu's power grew stronger.
The Laughing Moon trembled, and the boundless, cold, white moonlight it emitted grew brighter and brighter.
The light it emitted was in a burning state, like a the Sun, burning itself to release even more powerful light.
These lights illuminated every inch of space between heaven and earth, making it seem so desolate and cold.
The moonlight was mixed with various particles floating in the air, some of which were dust, and some were the powder of bodies that had been annihilated.
The moonlight further illuminated the encroaching Sea of Death.
The black seawater shimmered with light, reflecting the moonlight in a dreamlike and ethereal way, creating a scene of poignant beauty.
Shen Hui was momentarily stunned.
Beneath all these strange phenomena lies the gathering and eruption of an even more powerful force, the Laughing Moon.
The moonlight even pierced through the black seawater, shining straight into the seabed.
All living things that were irradiated, including any objects, began to emit a hazy glow on their surfaces.
These rays of light are like a cocoon, enveloping everything within them.
The black tentacles spreading across the seabed, enveloped in the glow, gradually ceased their spread.
Including Cthulhu, who was awakening, that enormous black shadow illuminated by the moonlight.
Although its true form was not revealed, it emitted a shimmering glow on its black surface.
Enveloped in radiance, the awakening power gradually ceased its awakening process.
At this moment, the world fell silent, including Shen Hui.
I was already in a strange state the moment I saw the shimmering water.
All forces ceased to revive.
Under the glow of the Laughing Moon, this place has fallen into a deep, illusory world.
The Deep World is essentially an illusion, but there are differences.
That can be understood as a real world, the world where consciousness resides.
This is the nature of Laughing Moon's power.
Under the shroud of the Laughing Moon, a brand new and wonderful world will be created.
Everything will proceed according to Laughing Moon's wishes.
Now all it takes is an external force to break the spell, and perhaps the person trapped inside can wake up.
But here, there are no conscious living beings or objects, let alone any external forces.
Shen Hui's consciousness plummeted, sinking to the bottom...
Finally, darkness descended and silence returned.
I don't know how much time has passed; it might be a moment, or it might be tens of thousands of years.
The cocoon of darkness was torn open, and a beam of light shone in from the outside.
It was accompanied by a cry.
"Wow wow wow~"
A new life has been born.
"Another chubby Little Boy."
"His code name is X-369. Take him to the farm."
Several years have passed in the blink of an eye, in the classroom on the farm.
"Mothers are the greatest beings; they raised us, and without them, we wouldn't exist. We should be grateful to our mothers."
"She will always be watching over us. With our mother by our side, we are incredibly happy."
"Let us all give thanks to our great mothers."
A young female teacher is instructing about thirty children aged six or seven who are sitting below.
All the children, with wide, innocent eyes, followed their teacher in reciting, "Thank you, great mother."
"Alright, everyone go outside and look into Mother's eyes, let her see us."
The children ran out happily, but one of them came up to the teacher.
"369, what's up?"
"Teacher, I had another nightmare."
369 spoke with a hint of fear.
"Oh, is it that nightmare again?"
The teacher stroked 369's head and asked.
369 nodded. "Black, so much black, it feels like there's something inside, something huge is calling to me, it seems like something terrifying."
"And last night, I dreamt of even more things. I don't know what they were, but they were terrifying."
The teacher comforted her, "Don't be afraid. With your mother watching over you, nothing will dare to hurt you, and your mother will help you solve your troubles."
"Go outside and make eye contact with your mother, and you won't have nightmares tonight."
Led by the teacher, 369 came outside the room.
At this moment, a bright moon hangs in the sky, accompanied by a strange yet somewhat benevolent face.
Apart from this strange moon, there were no stars or clouds.
The moon is the ruler of the sky.
No one found this strange at all; on the contrary, they took it for granted.
With a face full of happiness and peace, she looked up at the sky and exchanged a loving, affectionate gaze with the moon.
That moon represents their mother; they were all born from her.
They have faith in their mother and love her.
This is also the significance of their existence.
In the Real World, Laughing Moon, unhindered by any force, emitted strange, creaking sounds that echoed between heaven and earth.
Everything is in the Deep World, and now He can confidently expand from here and establish a place in this world.
Using this as a base, the world shrouded by the Laughing Moon began to gradually expand.
The dark, damp tunnel began to be enveloped within, disappearing without a trace.
They began to emerge from the ground Land of Ruins and appeared above.
The spatial cracks around them began to fill in, and the space began to stabilize.
Finally, it was swallowed up by the Laughing Moon World and became a part of it.
Centered on this point, the Laughing Moon World began to slowly expand outwards.
