Episode 290
outer space (7)
When a man wearing a yellow robe appeared, the audience fell silent. Even the man in the robe who summoned the being.
But only one person was an exception.
“Surprising. What is this recluse doing here? “And even wearing an avatar that doesn’t look the same.”
<… Kthuga? Weren’t you wandering around Cosmo?>
“joy. There can be no prison that can confine this body. Anyway, Cosmo, whenever you want… … .”
<I guess it’s a good thing. Say no more than that. Because I don’t want to know your trivial stories.>
“… … under. Can I take that to mean I want to die? Hastur! “It’ll be good exercise before we catch Nyala!”
Flames began to flutter around Kthuga. Although he had a ferocious appearance, the man called Hastur did not pay the slightest attention to Cthuga and instead looked at the robed man right next to him.
He glanced at the Necronomicon and nodded slightly.
<You summoned me. Nyala’s family. The offering was definitely accepted. Is there anything you want?>
“I see the great old one. I am His lowly servant… .”
<I have become a member of the noble family. Just say what you want. My patience is not deep, so I will be brief.>
“… … Let this be His world.”
<That’s a vague statement. If you don’t say it accurately, you have no choice but to interpret it arbitrarily.>
“I just want His glory.”
<… … okay. What is the point of talking to a puppet? Nyala. You’re listening, right? I will lend you my power according to the contract. But before that.>
Toukwaak!
A flame in the shape of a dragon attacked Hastur, but a curtain of wind was created right in front of him, blocking the flame dragon. If Kthuga was the ‘source of flame’, Hastur was ‘the source of wind’.
<I think I need to change that crazy guy’s habits first.>
“Haster. After all the pretense of being noble, was it Nyala’s dog that you chose in the end? “Let me burn that disgusting yellow thing before it gets any uglier!”
* * * * * *
Toukwaang! Quagwang!
“Oh, Confucius! Get out of here! That’s something that could interfere… … oh! “When did you get there?”
“Come here quickly. “If even a spark flies, you die immediately.”
“Ugh. “How can there be such creatures?”
“Iknow, right. after. Still, if it falls this much, it will be okay.”
Do-do heaved a sigh of relief and looked towards where the two Great Old Ones were fighting. And then he shook his head again.
I can’t tell even if I look at it.
The level of the two was so high that the battle could not be understood with just a degree of insight. All I knew was that the bitter flames and the sharp wind were trying to catch each other.
However, what is certain is that, unlike Dagon, Hastur and Cthuga’s military power is of the Middle Ages. And there was absolutely no room for him to get involved in that fight.
“Confucius. What should I do now? Should we wait until they make a decision?”
“No way. “We have to do what we can.”
He couldn’t get involved in that fight, but that didn’t mean he didn’t have work to do. No, on the contrary, it was very clear.
“If the summons are too strong… … “Defeating the summoner is the rule.”
This is common sense that all users are familiar with. Of course, not all summoned creatures disappear when the summoner is defeated. However, it was certain that there was a high probability of being hit.
Destroying the Robed Man or the Necronomicon that summoned the being called Hastur will definitely be a huge blow. Coincidentally, the man in the robe was also not in a normal state.
The summons must have been too powerful, and he stumbled and fell from the two Great Old Ones, breathing heavily. Then he knelt down and spread his hands toward the sky. As if praising someone.
It was a perfect opportunity.
Jeongdo approached the robed man in an instant, like a tiger stalking its prey.
Pop!
Just one assist was enough. Although it was shabby compared to the existence of the two outer universes, it had long since surpassed human limitations. This distance was just a stone’s throw away.
Jeong-do silently grabbed behind him. And he thrust Brunak towards the heart.
bang!
However, the attack did not work. The Necronomicon sensed its master’s crisis and deployed a defensive barrier. Jeongdo clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. “It’s a nuisance.”
“haha. It was a surprise attack. If it weren’t for the Necronomicon, it would have happened. However, it is impossible for a mere human to pierce His sacred body.”
“That’s your opinion.”
Although the surprise attack was blocked, Jeongdo was not embarrassed. Having experienced it once, I already expected that the Necronomicon would deploy a wall again. Instead of being embarrassed, he pulled out Caliburn from his waist with his free left hand.
“bout!”
Then, he swung towards the barrier and activated the skill <Gordian Blade>.
An absolute dispel skill that uses a sword as a medium.
If the Necronomicon’s barrier were magical, it would be effective.
Kagagak!
“Huh?!”
However, the intention was only marginally successful. The combination of Caliburn and <Gordian Blade> ended up only cutting down the dark barrier a little. It probably has magical elements, but because it is an extra-universe force, <Gordian Blade> didn’t seem to work properly.
“Calm down! They would have said it was useless. His power is perfect!”
“therefore.”
But for Jeongdo, it was important that even just a little bit worked. It was as if Yu-seon’s skin had been pierced just a little.
“That’s what you think!”
With a shout, Caliburn began to turn golden.
And the ‘time regression’ built into Caliburn was activated.
“What?!”
The wall’s time rewinded and disappeared. The robe man, Nephten-Ka, let out a cry of astonishment.
Seeing that he was defenseless, I injected mana again into Brunak’s right hand.
Brunak was quickly launched, aiming for the enemy’s heart. There were no obstructions.

Kwasik.
“Wow.”
Brunac pierced his heart with precision. The Necronomicon sensed its owner’s crisis and hesitated again.
“It doesn’t work anymore.”
As Jeong Do once again infused mana into Caliburn, the Necronomicon’s energy faded.
“What a monster.”
“Even if my heart gets pierced, I don’t want to hear about monsters from a living person. Well, that will end soon.”
Sigh!
When Jeongdo pulled out Brunak, black blood poured out from the robed man’s chest. Jeong-do aimed his spear at the guy’s head with an expressionless face.
“bye.”
It was a perfect death sentence that there was no way to avoid.
“Kk, kk, kkk. Hahahaha!”
But suddenly the man in the robe burst into laughter. She burst into laughter as if her own death had no meaning. As he laughed and writhed wildly, the robe came off, revealing his face.
He was a man with a very ugly face, half of his face melted from burns.
He smiled bitterly and turned to the direction.
“yes… Guy… I won. raw… … each. one? jin… degree. Wrong. you… Is. Bigger, me… … Taste the net… will be. what… What I included. that… … of minutes. As planned… … .”
With those words, the head of the man in the robe fell to the ground, and countless notification windows began to appear in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
<Warning. warning. An abnormality has been detected!>
<As the caster of the Necronomicon, the grimoire of outer space, dies, all the dark matter held by the caster permeates the Necronomicon.>
<A different powerful outer space energy is detected nearby. (Energy type: Great Old One)>
<Conditions met.>
There was no time to do anything.
As soon as the robed man, Nephten-Ka’s life expired, a black hand came out from the Necronomicon and swallowed Nephten-Ka’s body. The Necronomicon began to emit black light and vibrate slightly.
and.
Ugh.
Chaos crept in.
Jijijijijik!
As the Necronomicon was torn apart, an indescribable discomfort began to surge.
<Special space <Crawling Chaos> appears!>
<Outer Space <Crawling Chaos> is strictly the world of Nyarlathotep. Existences not permitted in space are gradually eroded. The dark matter of the eroded being is used in the expansion of <Crawling Chaos>.>
<All powers of unauthorized beings are sealed. (Limited to beings above a certain level)>
<All abilities of unauthorized beings are reduced by 99% (limited to beings of a certain level or higher)>
<For one year of permitted existence, all abilities increase by 99%. When using a skill, mana consumption is reduced by 50%. Cool time is reduced by 50%.>
<The current space is not outer space. Deterrence works. All effects are halved.>
“Tsk! no way? Was it a trap?!”
The degree was remarkable. A trap that activates the moment the user’s life runs out? Why did such an important matter not appear in the void? ah.
It was only after I thought about it that much that I realized. When I looked at the Necronomicon with <Higongrok>, I saw that ‘???’ meant this!
The torn Necronomicon floated in the air, and thick darkness soon descended on the world. The creeping chaos was complete.
<Hmm?>
“This dirty smell… !”
The two beings who reacted most sensitively to the realization of that space were, of course, them. And they were also the ones who were most strongly influenced.
“Tsk! Nyala-!”
<… … .>
The balance of fire and wind, which brought to mind the words dragon and tiger, began to tilt rapidly. It was very obvious which of the two Great Old Ones Nyarlathotep had approved.
The wind began to eat away at the flames.
“Hey, you guy!”
<That’s strange.>
Unlike Cthuga, who used dragons with a bright red face, Hastur’s tone was calm. No, he didn’t even respond properly to Kthuga’s attack anymore, as if he was annoyed, and only roughly avoided or blocked it.
“kill! you also! That guy too! “I’ll give you all a ride!”
<You idiot. Are you still saying that? If you have a brain, think. What does it mean that <Creeping Chaos> has been realized in this situation?>
“What do you know! “Anyone who gets in the way will be burned!”
As Kthuga shouted like that, his appearance began to change. The shape of the little blonde girl gradually collapsed and intense flames began to appear.
Rather than acting like an avatar with suppressed power, he decided to demonstrate his true power.
<Foolish.>
Hastur frowned. I couldn’t help but sigh as I saw him being consumed by anger and even losing his ability to judge the situation. That guy is the Great Old One.
Outer God Nyarlathotep is a being more insidious and mysterious than any other being in the universe. Just looking at it, he has a plan in place, but he takes off his avatar and draws out his true power… … Don’t you remember how you wandered Cosmo after being fooled by his scheme? There has to be a degree of lack of learning ability.
Of course, from Hastur’s perspective, it was none of his business whether Cthuga played into Nyala’s hands or not. However, it was absolutely out of the question for that guy to go crazy and cause harm to himself.
I glanced at the sky. As Cthuga’s true power was awakened, Creeping Chaos expanded further. If you really used all your power, it wouldn’t be surprising if a small universe like this could quickly turn into Nyala’s space.
<Not good.>
Right now, he is overwhelming Cthuga with the effects of <Crawling Chaos>, but once he throws off his avatar, the story is completely different.
As his current avatar, he cannot subdue Kthuga no matter how much he uses. He said that eventually he would have to take off the avatar himself.
<Not possible.>
Right now, Nyala is not being eroded because she defines herself as a ‘permitted being’, but what if the moment she takes off her avatar, she defines herself as an ‘unallowed being’?
Just like Cthuga, he will be eroded and his Dark Matter will become the form of Creeping Chaos. And you won’t be able to subdue Kthuga. It’s the worst of the worst.
<Intervention is needed.>
There was a need for someone who had the skills to subdue that rampaging madman, but who did not want this “creeping chaos” to expand.
Hastur slightly shifted his gaze. The face of the human who had awakened the Necronomicon was visible.
<Not possible.>
It’s definitely a being with potential… … It was too early. You will have to train for at least 1,000 years.
Then, what remains… There is only one person. Hastur looked up at the sky and muttered.
<Are you still hesitating? If so, let me help you.>
Phew!
Hastur’s right hand began to turn dark yellow. He shed part of his avatar and awakened his true power.
Dark matter began to overflow into the space. And as if in response, <Creeping Chaos> began to expand frighteningly.
The <Creeping Chaos> stretching out along the sky seemed as if it would swallow up the whole world.
Sigh!
A silver sword appeared from nowhere and ruthlessly tore apart <Crawling Chaos>. Everyone’s eyes naturally turned to the owner of the silver sword.
“We have detected an out-of-spec level risk. “As of this time, all seals on the agent will be lifted.”
A woman floating in the sky like an angel, or even more noble than an angel.
Although her body was covered in rather rough silver armor rather than the usual maid uniform, her presence did not lose its shine. Her platinum blonde hair was shining more dazzling than ever.
“We will exclude all existence in the outer universe.”
Winry Machina.
The self-proclaimed strongest being in the universe has appeared.
