Chapter 495 The High Priest of the Deep Ones
Hastur's body swelled up considerably, and then it suddenly returned to its original size.

"Damn it, these items, which are made of divine power, contain so little divine power."

"It's barely enough for me to recover to the strength I had when I first arrived on Earth."

Hastur's face smelled bad, and he said with a slightly annoyed expression.

"It's estimated that all the divine power here has been extracted by that Deep One High Priest."

"I'm so angry, I'm really so angry."

Just then, the door was suddenly opened, and a burly Deep One came in carrying a plate.

It put the plate down and was about to leave when suddenly, Hastur flew down from above and grabbed the Deep One's head.

Hastur extended its tentacles toward the Deep One's eyes, nose, and mouth.

The Deep One fell to the ground and began to struggle violently.

However, it was unable to break free from Hastur's grasp and eventually watched helplessly as Hastur burrowed into its mouth.

A short while later, the deep diver staggered to his feet.

Ye Bai could tell from the cunning look in the Deep One's dead fish eyes that Hastur was possessing this Deep One.

However, the deep diver had barely taken a step when he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it, I've been walking with my tentacles for so many years, and I've forgotten how to walk."

Two streams of blood flowed from the diver's nostrils and dripped onto the ground.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe I can't learn to walk."

After several falls, big and small, on flat ground, Hastur finally learned to walk with the same hand and foot.

Ye Bai looked at the bruised and swollen face, finding it unbearable to look at.

"Phew, we've finally got control of the Deep One's body. We can use it to get close to the Deep One High Priest."

"Then, by surprise, give the High Priest of the Deep a good whack."

"However, Ye Bai, my original plan was to absorb divine power to unleash divine magic."

"Now you can only rely on yourself."

Hastur is indeed an unreliable god.

However, Ye Bai had never placed his hopes on Hastur.

Just then, the door opened again, and the High Priest of the Deepwalkers walked in from outside.

Behind it were two Deep Ones wielding long swords, who looked like the bodyguards of the Deep One High Priest.

As soon as they entered the room, Hastur immediately manipulated his clones to pounce on them.

"Ye Bai, I was just joking with you. The divine power I absorbed is still enough to cast a self-destruction spell and a barrier spell."

"Watch me blow this guy to smithereens."

A pale yellow barrier emerged from Hastur's body and soon spread throughout the entire room.

This room, developed using space-folding technology, is shaking violently.

The High Priest of the Deep saw a ferocious-looking Deepman rushing towards him.

Before he could react, he heard a loud bang.

The massive shockwave caused the scepter in its hand to slip from its grasp.

His guards, on the other hand, had their armor shattered by the explosion.

Nitric acid filled the air as the Deep One High Priest looked at the octopus-man before him with a disheveled expression.

"Hastur, the Lord in Yellow!!!"

"Why are you here?"

"Human, did you summon this despicable and shameless Old One to this place?"

"The High Priest of the Deep said angrily."

Hastur and the god he serves, Cthulhu, are mortal enemies.

If Cthulhu knew that its territory had been invaded by Hastur...

Their souls would be thrown into the deep blue fire by Cthulhu, to experience Cthulhu's wrath.

Just as he was about to pick up his scepter, a yellow tentacle beat him to it.

"Ye Bai, go."

"I want to absorb the divine power from the scepter. A high priest without the scepter is just a toothless dog."

Hastur spoke in a very impolite tone, as if he were closing the door and letting Ye Bai out.

However, Ye Bai did not bother arguing with the crazy Hastur.

"Come on, Myriad Transformations Butterfly, Thunder Queen Butterfly Form."

"Frost Dragon, use Absolute Freeze."

"Big Grey, use Thor's Axe."

Ye Bai summoned three pet beasts in a row.

Big Grey wielded Thor's Axe, crackling with lightning, and swung it down fiercely toward the Deep One High Priest's head.

Just as he was about to hit the Deep One High Priest, a Deep One Guard appeared before Big Grey.

Its eyes were wide open, almost popping out.

With its extremely small brain capacity, it simply couldn't understand why it was standing in front of Thor's axe.

His fine head was severed by Thor's axe, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The blood was absorbed by the blood pool, and the corpse of this Deep One guard was swept into it. The Blood Dragon can transform powerful beasts into blood-red skeleton generals.

"Damn it, the guards I painstakingly trained were killed by you in a surprise attack."

The High Priest of the Deep said through gritted teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

"So what?"

“High Priest of the Deep Ones, you should understand that we are born enemies.”

Another Deep One guard raised two sharp blades and began to fight the Shapeshifter Butterfly.

Bang bang bang.

The Deep One guard moved with incredible speed, engaging the Myriad Butterfly in close combat, producing the sound of weapons clashing.

“My Deep One guards have undergone rigorous selection from birth.”

"In the same batch of eggs, Cthulhu's divine runes must be engraved. Only eggs that can withstand the power of the divine runes are qualified to survive."

"After the eggs hatch, we will bless these newborns so that they will have incredibly strong bodies."

"They must stay by each other's side, master all eighteen martial arts skills, and pass the final test before they can become my guards."

"They worked so hard, but you secretly ambushed and killed one of them."

"Don't you Yan people really believe in the culture of the gentleman?"

How could someone do such a despicable thing?

After arriving on Earth, the High Priest of the Deep Ones explored various locations.

It considers the Yan Kingdom to be its equal enemy, and believes that it must know itself and its enemy to win every battle.

"We don't show any mercy or morality when dealing with our enemies."

"High Priest of the Deep Ones, if I were you, I would choose to surrender and only increase casualties."

The High Priest of the Deep Ones laughed loudly, "When you infiltrated, it meant I had failed in my duty. I actually allowed a human to infiltrate the Deep Sea City."

"However, with your strength, you shouldn't have that ability."

"If Hastur's divine power is insufficient, then there is only one possibility: someone is helping you."

"This person should have been in the Deep Sea City a long time ago."

"These are the coordinates she set up, which is why you were able to enter the Deep Sea City so easily."

The High Priest of the Deep Ones was also very intelligent; he immediately explained how Ye Bai had entered the Deep Sea City.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be that Star Sage."

"I never expected that this guy would ruin my plans."

"But it's alright."

“I was once the most valiant warrior of the entire Deep Ones. I laid down my blade and raised the scepter in order to inherit this position.”

Do you think I rely on the scepter for everything?

"How can this be."

"However, I'm a little hungry now, it's time to eat."

The High Priest of the Deep Ones instantly teleported and punched the head of a Deep One guard to pieces.

It began to gulp down the blood of the Deep One guard. Its body made a crackling, popping sound.

Its body began to expand rapidly, devouring the flesh and blood of the Deep One Guardian.

The High Priest of the Deep, holding the spine of a Deep Guardian, looked calmly at Big Grey.

He casually tossed the scattered bones of the Deep One guards onto the ground.

"I'm full, now I can move around a bit."

The High Priest of the Deep Ones teleported to the side of the Thunder Butterfly Queen.

With a loud bang, the Thunder Butterfly Queen's body was smashed apart by a single punch.

The ever-changing butterfly's eyes widened.

Wait, what did this guy do? How did he suddenly become so fast?

Even my compound eyes couldn't see any trace of this guy.

This guy seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

The Butterfly sensed something was wrong. At that moment, Big Grey had already donned the Thor's Armor and was fighting the Deep One High Priest.

"Phew, this guy seems to be the king of the Deep Ones."

"Its strength is quite formidable."

Having obtained the scepter, Hastur is now focusing all his efforts on absorbing the divine power within it.

"Its close-combat talent is extremely high; it won't be easy to defeat this guy."

Hastur frowned.

"My divine power has not yet fully recovered."

"Otherwise, I could just snap my fingers and wipe this guy out of thin air."

"Although the divine power has not been restored, I have another way."

“I can disrupt this guy’s movements.”

Hastur used his tentacles to draw a magic circle on the ground.

By the time the High Priest of the Deep saw the magic circle and tried to organize it, it was already too late.

A yellow light enveloped its body.

Its body suddenly became much heavier.

"Damn it, I had forgotten about Hastur. I was hit by its divine spell, and my strength dropped by about 30%."

The High Priest of the Deep was furious.

Within Hastur's barrier, it was unable to use many of the Cthulhu secrets it possessed. Just as it was getting frustrated with the fight, Hastur started creating more chaos on the sidelines.

It seems we need to take down Hastur first.

The High Priest of the Deep stomped his foot on the ground, and numerous spiderweb-like cracks appeared.

It clenched its fist and slammed it directly at Hastur's face.

With a loud bang, a deep crater appeared where Hastur had been standing.

"Hahaha, is this all the power the gods possess?"

"Without divine power, you cannot even use divine magic."

"That's really ironic, Hastur. How could I laugh at you?"

The High Priest of the Deep was full of sarcasm, but Hastur crawled out of the ground.

"My god, that almost scared me to death! Luckily, I'm a mollusk."

"Ye Bai, I signed a contract with you. If I die, you will also feel bad."

Hastur muttered.

"not good."

The High Priest of the Deep Ones shifted his gaze to Ye Bai.

"I've found you, the pet trainer, to be a nuisance from the very beginning."

“Since you have made a contract with Hastur, your death will definitely have an impact on Hastur.”

"Am I right?"

"The High Priest of the Deep said with ill intent."

It disappeared from Ye Bai's sight again, and the next second, a fist the size of a sandbag slammed heavily towards Ye Bai's head.

boom.

Smoke and fire filled the air as the Deep One High Priest's hand became stuck in a crevice.

A look of astonishment appeared on its lips.

"Well, you really are good at dodging my attacks."

The High Priest of the Deep pulled his arm out from the ground.

All the bones in his body made cracking and popping sounds.

"I was just playing around earlier, but now I know my skill level."

The High Priest of the Deep swelled up again, now resembling a five-meter-tall giant.

In its eyes, Ye Bai wasn't even worth a second.

It swung its fist at Big Gray.

Big Grey held Thor's Axe in front of him, but was immediately sent flying.

"This guy's strength has increased, it's several times stronger than before."

Ye Bai immediately saw through the deception.

"Big Grey, are you alright?"

The High Priest of the Deep Ones' gaze fell upon Ye Bai.

Instead of worrying about your magical beast, you should worry about yourself.

"Aren't you worried that I'll smash your head open with one punch?"

The High Priest of the Deep Ones said with a smile.

"Afraid? Of course I'm afraid."

“But I’m different from you. I have a pet beast, and I can use its power.”

“But you are different. You are all alone. You have killed all your guards.”

"Go forth, Sunflower Fairy, entangled by thorns."

Countless thorns burst forth from the ground, attempting to envelop the Deep One High Priest's body.

"Foolish human, don't you understand my speed?"

"Thorns have some effect on me, but not much."

"This speed is too slow."

A look of disdain appeared on the face of the Deep One High Priest.

But the next second, a look of surprise appeared on its face.

Sometime later, its legs were frozen by ice.

"damn it."

The High Priest of the Deep turned ashen-faced.

Just as it broke free from the icy restraints, it was immediately entangled by a large number of thorns.

These thorns pierced directly into its skin.

Thorns had taken hold of the Deep One High Priest's veins, and no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from their hold.

The numerous blood vessels blocked by thorns also made it difficult for the Deep One High Priest to breathe.

"Damn human, I really underestimated you."

"However, even if I die, you will not succeed."

“Our rituals are passed down through generations. After death, these traditions are instantly transferred to the mind of the next priest.”

"It will gain access to all my memories, lead billions upon billions of Deep Ones, conquer the entire Blue Star, and turn this place into our territory."

"Even if I die, there will be countless versions of me."

"I will await your arrival within the divine body of the god Cthulhu."

Just then, a voice rang in Ye Bai's ear.

Ye Bai was taken aback at first, then nodded.
