Episode 288

outer space (5)

“Nyarlathotep… Ugh!”

Jeongdo frowned as he repeated the name Kthuga had mentioned. This was because I suddenly felt nauseous and started vomiting.

These symptoms… … Could it be poison? Even though he was a person who was unstoppable against all poisons, this concept of existence in the outer universe was not applicable to them. If it were a poison from outer space, it should be seen that there was a greater possibility that the 100% poison-imperilability rule would not apply.

But that level of worry disappeared with Kthuga’s next words.

<Amazing. I can’t believe I can even say his name accurately.>

“Can you tell me your name? Of course… … Ugh.”

At Kthuga’s words, the name Nyarlathotep naturally came to mind, and at that moment, I started to vomit again. And then I realized.

Now, the cause of this phenomenon is not the poison, but the name itself.

<You said the guy’s name just a moment ago, literally and accurately. It means that you have accomplished the impossible.>

“Did you say exactly?”

<The main living being in this universe, that is, the being called ‘human’ in your language, cannot be called a bastard using the language structure. You shouldn’t do it. Probably, just pronouncing something similar would melt your brain.>

“… … “I’d like to ask if that makes sense, but it’s true, right?”

<That’s right. Even this body feels offended when it is mentioned. It is impossible for a human being to end up feeling nauseous.>

Although Kthuga’s tone was subtle, there was a hint of admiration.

Even in the entire universe, Cthuga was one of the most arrogant. It was absolutely impossible for him to acknowledge a small thing in the small universe, and it was a major incident that would have been frowned upon if anyone who knew him knew.

<Amazing. Is this a miracle from the beginning that only existed in records? Hahahaha!>

Kthuga grinned as if he couldn’t be more pleased with this situation. He felt like he could do anything as long as he could tear the bastard apart.

I fell for his trick and wandered in the void for a long time. He thought he could never escape from a place where time and concepts are blurred… .

I never thought a ray of light would come down like this!

<Noob. wait! This time, I will definitely tear it to pieces! I will repay you equally for the pain and humiliation I suffered.>

As I was exposed to Kthuga’s unfiltered anger, I felt nauseous again. The trembling of Yuseon, who was covering her eyes and ears right next to her, also worsened. The conversation continued with the intention of calming Kthuga down.

“Being a bastard means Nyala… … Ugh. shit. Anyway, that guy is here right now, right?”

<That’s right. I tried to hide it, but how could I miss this dirty energy? He is definitely here.>

A tone full of confidence. Judging from the feats Cthuga has shown so far, there is a high probability that this is true.

… … So, in a word, it meant that Winry, and perhaps even a monster even greater than Winry, was standing next to another miracle from the beginning.

‘It’s so different from what I expected.’

Jeongdo swallowed silently.

It was expected that someone who kidnapped Hae-joon and Ellie would be the miracle of the beginning. Therefore, we assumed that and prepared countermeasures. This is done by taking into account the margin of error within the imaginable range.

However, it ended up far exceeding the scope of my imagination. To be honest, I was even thinking about the possibility that ‘Black Winry’ might be attached to the Miracle of the Beginning… … I was shocked to learn more about this.

‘If there’s one good thing, it’s that this side also drew a card that exceeded expectations.’

Kthuga is pouring out intense anger towards the ‘bastard’. Since he shouted that he would tear it down at any moment, it must mean that he was confident enough to handle it. No, it had to be that way.

“If we fight, we can win, right? must?”

<… … joy. I said some nonsense. Of course. That insidious bastard will die by my hands.>

It was a strongly positive statement, but somehow the tone did not have the same enthusiasm as before. Jeongdo narrowed his eyes.

“Come to think of it, I said it was the Great Old One. You and this fishman called Dagon. “Does being grouped together mean that we are in the same class?”

<Ruthless!>

Good luck!

Right in front of Jeongdo’s eyes, Kthuga’s right arm radiated strong heat. The scene where only his right arm was floating and showing off may have been somewhat comical, but the energy that Kthuga was giving off was not something to laugh at.

<You guy. Are the eyes decorative? Are you still saying that after seeing this body destroy that idiot?>

“The difference in power was clear, but… … Still, they say it’s the same ‘Great Old One’. In the end, doesn’t that mean we’ll be classified in the same class?”

The degree glanced away. There lay the body of Dagon, his head missing.

Immediately after defeating him, C’thuga clearly evaluated Nyarlathotep like this.

‘The god that idiot serves.’

Cthuga is the Great Old One. And the same goes for Dagon.

If Dagon, one of the Great Old Ones, is the god he serves, wouldn’t it be natural for him to be of a higher rank than the Great Old Ones?

In other words, the conclusion is drawn that Nyarlathotep is a higher being than Cthuga.

“Was I wrong?”

<… … He is definitely not the Great Old One. He is a higher god than him, ‘Outer God’. Among them, he is strong enough to take first place.>

“I’m going crazy.”

Outer God? What is that again?

Power inflation also needs to be done sequentially. It was difficult for accidents to keep up with the sudden surge. Is everything in the outer universe like this?

“Then you can’t win?”

<Nonsense! He may be strong, but so am I! Moreover, he will also be bound by strong restrictions. If you dig into that point, there is a chance of victory… .>

“What are the odds of winning calmly?”

<… … It won’t be easy.>

Although Kthuga was arrogant, he was not an idiot who denied reality due to his arrogance.

<But the miracle of the beginning will make up for what is lacking. Now, you are a being with potential. Cooperate in taking him down. Then you will gain everything in this world. I swear by this name!>

“The problem is that the miracle of the beginning is out there too.”

If it is as expected, he is first in the list of ‘miracles from the beginning’. It would be <Birth>. In <Communication> alone, the criminal was shown to have a power that goes far beyond common sense, but in <Birth>, I couldn’t even guess to what extent.

<Communication> and Kthuga.

<The Birth> and Nyarlathotep.

… … Looking at the hierarchy of miracles from the beginning and the level of existence in outer space, this side was clearly pushed out, but it was not hopeless.

‘No, it’s the opposite.’

Contrary to appearances, if you look at the reality, this side had the advantage no matter where you looked.

First of all, if we compare <Communication> and <Birth>, the levels were different.

This level of <communication> is an unprecedented level 4 that cannot be found even in the entire history of the universe. No matter how great <Birth> was, it was clear that it had the upper hand for level 3 players and above.

Is that all? For Jeong Do, another primordial miracle, <annihilation> also existed. Because the original material was difficult to handle, it could not be used as skillfully as <Communication>, but this was also a big variable.

Lastly, there is a backup of a space agent called ‘Winry Machina’. At this point, it was even more difficult to picture losing.

‘You must not let your guard down.’

However, he has a cautious personality. Before fighting, prepare as much as you can before going into battle. You should always assume the worst. Even if you assume the worst, something even worse can come out in real life.

The worst that can be assumed right now is… … This would be the case when the Outer God’s power is much more overwhelming than Cthuga’s power.

And one more thing there.

The worst case scenario that I really don’t want to imagine. Perhaps that will never happen.

We decided to assume that <Birth> is level 4.

* * * * * *

That time. The gunman was watching the battle through magic.

“You lost.”

The moment Dagon’s head was pierced by the fist of flame, the monster muttered this. Although something impossible had happened, there was no emotion in his tone.

“Well, I think it was said that if you summon a guy named Dagon, you will win.”

Wooooow.

The air vibrated behind the gunman’s back. It was as if he was responding to the mutterings of a strange man.

“Do you know how many precious miracles from the beginning have already been wasted? “If you’re not careful, your plan may go awry.”

Wooooow.

The air trembled once again at the monster’s words. Then the gunman turned his back and looked at the vibrating atmosphere.

There was something like a dark haze dancing in the air.

Since when did it start? He ended up being with this unknown thing that approached him.

I couldn’t remember exactly. At some point she started talking to herself naturally, as if she had been there from the beginning.

Although curious about this strange housemate, there was little he could find out. First of all, it didn’t look right.

It just looks like a black haze. It felt as if my eyes were refusing to accept information. However, communication was possible. However, the communication was not done through conversation, but rather through direct communication in the spirit.

If I had to point out a few more features, it would be that this haze is a female body.

‘It means it’s very strong.’

The gunman knew. That the true power of that haze is enough to treat oneself as less than an insect. However, for some reason, he approached me in a low-key manner and lent his power without compensation. The giant fishman called ‘Dagon’ was also a being summoned by combining the power of this black haze with the miracle of the beginning.

‘He’s probably thinking of using me.’

It’s natural. Otherwise, there was no way such a powerful being would bend over and lift him. Even though the gunman knew this, he did nothing to stop him. Anyway, it’s only one step to the great job. It didn’t matter what happened after that. Use it however you want.

Ugh.

The black haze vibrated and conveyed its message.

‘flame. Thunderbolt. Unexpected variables. Okay. Summon a stronger being. A sacrifice is required. What you want. I get it.’

Just a list of words, not proper communication. However, there was no great difficulty in understanding the meaning.

“It is a sacrifice. “There is.”

Perfect!

As the gunman snapped his fingers in the air, several figures slowly walked out from the darkness. There were exactly 8 men and women. They each wore unique outfits, but they had one thing in common.

The point was that he was wearing a mask that resembled the face of an animal.

Chicken, bear, sheep, tiger, etc. A sign symbolizing a group’s executives was hung on their faces.

Ugh.

‘more.’

“More offerings? “There is no other offering that meets the conditions you proposed.”

Ugh.

‘there is. man. female. One more person at a time. ‘Good quality offering.’

“… … Not possible. Their purpose has already been determined. “I will take care of the parts that are lacking.”

Ugh.

‘As you wish.’

At the end of that vibration, an ominous energy rose from the black haze.

Fuquaak!

With that energy, he caught and ate all the animal masks.
