Chapter 497 Shattering the Gate of the Abyss
A colossal Cthulhu is floating in the air.

It is currently asleep, but the time for it to awaken is approaching.

Every god who infiltrates Earth needs a period of time to adapt to the laws of Earth.

This giant, octopus-like creature is floating high in the sky.

The death of his servant could not evoke his mercy.

At that moment, Hastur, the octopus, sneakily appeared here.

"Cthulhu, my nemesis, never expected I would escape from prison."

“I will use the immense divine power of your clone to help me activate a forbidden technique to release one of my tentacles.”

"Back then, you showed no mercy or morality, joining forces to seal me in the Star Prison. Do you know how much pain I suffered?"

"My body is tormented by endless laws all day long; it is constantly going through a process of collapse and regeneration."

"Thankfully, I survived and managed to create a clone."

"Luckily, I met some reliable humans, otherwise I might have been imprisoned there forever and tortured for all eternity."

"Before Cthulhu's consciousness finally descends upon this place, I will seize control of this body first."

"Then I'll shift the blame onto humanity."

Cthulhu was limited by the dimensional laws of Earth and could only separate his divine power and consciousness.

It first sends its divine power clone into this world through the Gate of the Abyss. After the divine power clone adapts to and transforms the laws of this world, it then sends its consciousness into Blue Star.

The advantage of doing this is that it will significantly shorten the time you spend in a deep sleep.

Even if it suffers a loss, it will only lose one clone and will not affect its soul.

However, the downside is also obvious: during this time, his clone will be at the mercy of others.

If the High Priest has any bad intentions at this time, this clone may become a battery for the High Priest's magical turret.

Therefore, the minds of the high priests are all cursed by Cthulhu, and once they harbor any evil intentions, they will be doomed forever.

But even with all those backup plans, Cthulhu couldn't have predicted why Hastur would appear here.

Moreover, she even coveted her own body.

"Cthulhu, the restrictions you placed on your clones have no effect on me at all."

"I have to thank you for sending me such a wonderful gift package of divine power."

Hastur leaped into the air and disappeared directly into Cthulhu's clone.

It absorbed a large amount of divine power from Cthulhu's clone, much like a sponge.

"The rate of destruction of the Abyss Gate must be accelerated."

"If Cthulhu realizes what's going on, it will be very troublesome for me."

"Anyway, after absorbing a portion of Cthulhu's divine power, I should have more than enough to activate forbidden techniques, so I might as well help Ye Bai improve."

Hastur immediately transmitted his voice to Ye Bai, who was helpless against the Abyss Gate.

The Crimson Skeleton King swung his arm until sparks flew, but the Abyss Gate only had a shallow dent.

Moreover, according to Ye Bai's observation, this Abyss Gate seems to have a self-repairing function.

This really left Ye Bai speechless.

"Wow, this building is really sturdy. I wish those shoddy construction projects were this solid."

Ye Bai muttered to himself. At this moment, he racked his brains and tried every possible method, but he could only come to one conclusion: with his current methods, the Gate of the Abyss was simply impenetrable.

"Ye Bai!"

"That's not how you destroy the Gates of the Abyss!"

"If you keep going like this, it will probably take you ten thousand years to destroy the Gate of the Abyss."

"You must destroy the core node of the Abyss Gate."

Hastur spoke up to remind him.

"That's it."

"We need to observe the nodes of the Abyss Gate."

Ye Bai nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

Hastur?
What do you know?
I was just about to lend you my divine power so you could see the core nodes of the Abyss Gate.

Ye Bai opened the Eye of Truth, and the core nodes of the Abyss Gate were clearly visible, revolving around it at high speed.

From a distance, these energy nodes look like wailing souls.

"Hastur, are there any requirements that these core nodes must be destroyed simultaneously?"

Ye Bai suddenly asked loudly.

"There is no such requirement, but the faster you destroy it, the better, otherwise you may alert the enemy and attract Cthulhu's attention."

After listening to Hastur's words, Ye Bai nodded.

"Everyone, come out."

"Follow my orders."

Pets such as Beichen Tianlang Blade, Big Gray, Myriad Transformations Butterfly, Frost Glass Dragon, Sunflower Fairy, and Netherworld Hellhound appeared one after another.

"Everyone, follow my instructions. I will share my vision."

At that moment, Hastur saw the energy core that was constantly moving around.

My God, this guy actually has the eyes of a god, and can see things that only gods can see?

Hastur was shocked that the human he had casually made a contract with had such good fortune.

The Eye of Truth, as the most important part of the God of Truth, possesses the natural ability to shield itself from divine detection.

However, this does not include Hastur, who signed a contract with Ye Bai.

Hastur is a god in itself, and even if what is before us is just an avatar, it is still part of the god.

"It seems that my contract with this guy is also a sign of fate."

Hastur, who originally planned to break his contract with Ye Bai after absorbing Cthulhu's divine power clone, decided to wait and see.

"Go, Myriad Transformations Butterfly, transform into Sword Butterfly."

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly transformed into the Golden Sword Butterfly, its entire body radiating golden light, even its wings were made of metal.

"Use Blade Storm and aim it at the energy node that is fleeing in front of you."

Ye Bai shouted loudly at the Myriad Transformations Butterfly.

The Butterfly's gaze focused on one point as it observed the energy node.

Then it gently flapped its wings, and endless blades burst forth from its body, gradually forming a blade dragon that pounced straight toward the energy node.

The sharp blade pierced the energy node in an instant, and with a loud bang, a violent explosion rang out, causing the entire Abyss Gate to shake violently.

At the same time, spiderweb-like cracks appeared at the site of the explosion.

"It really works!" Ye Bai said happily.

"You're celebrating too soon. With each energy core you break, the remaining energy cores move around even faster, and the force required to pierce an energy core also increases exponentially."

"Oh no, the explosion just now seems to have attracted Cthulhu's attention."

Hastur was getting a little anxious.

It has only corrupted one-tenth of the clone so far. If Cthulhu were to descend upon the clone through the Abyss Gate at this moment...

Hastur will definitely be driven away by Cthulhu.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

"The Spirit of the Candle Dragon, the Slayer of Ten Thousand Dragons."

Ninety-nine Myriad Dragon Slashes split off from the body of the Candle Dragon Spirit, and under Ye Bai's precise control, these ninety-nine Myriad Dragon Slashes pierced towards the energy node of the Abyss Gate.

These energy nodes exploded one after another, like deflated balloons.

Many more cracks have appeared in the Gate of the Abyss.

However, the remaining energy nodes, like loaches, swam and dodged quickly.

"Quickly, Cthulhu has already detected it; there are five more energy nodes."

Hastur said with great anxiety.

Since it became a god, it has never encountered a situation that makes it anxious.

But now its heart is pounding as if it's stuck in its throat.

"Hellish Netherwolf, use Netherworld Travel, bite down on that energy node!" The Netherworld Hellwolf transformed into countless black lines and burrowed into the shadows. The next second, its form solidified, and it opened its blood-red maw, biting down hard on the energy node.

With a loud bang, one of the energy nodes broke.

"Hurry, Cthulhu is about to open the gates of the Abyss."

Hastur could already sense that the gates of the abyss had opened a crack, and Cthulhu was about to descend.

"Sunflower Fairy, shining with holy light."

The Sunflower Fairy raised its fist fiercely, and beams of light gathered on its fist.

It suddenly transformed into a golden streak of light, and with a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, it punched an energy node.

An ordinary punch.

With another bang, only three energy nodes remained.

"Big brother, can't I just call you big brother?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're driving me crazy."

"If Cthulhu were to descend upon Earth, he would crush me to death on the spot."

Hastur's howling did not disturb Ye Bai. Instead, Ye Bai was focused on calculating the position of the energy node.

"Hurry up, hurry up, I'm waiting for you to save me!"

At this moment, the gate to the abyss slowly opened, and countless blue and white energies surged in from it; one could even hear the sound of flowing water.

"Hahaha, so that's why there was a problem with the Abyss Gate. Turns out someone was sabotaging it."

A giant tentacle slowly lunged towards Ye Bai, and at that moment, Ye Bai suddenly opened his eyes.

"Now, Big Grey, use Thor's Axe."

The giant gray creature, which had been gathering its strength, leaped high and slashed heavily at the energy node just as its massive hand reached out towards Ye Bai.

With a loud bang, the remaining three energy nodes exploded simultaneously.

The gate to the abyss shattered into fragments in an instant, creating a chaotic spatial storm.

It forcefully snapped Cthulhu's enormous tentacles, which were constructed from mental energy, in half.

"No, you damned human."

As soon as Cthulhu finished speaking, he vanished into the spatial storm.

It's unknown how long this part of its spiritual power will drift through dimensions before it can return to Cthulhu's side.

"Ye Bai, well done."

"It's a pity that Cthulhu's spiritual power is wasted. If I could obtain its spiritual power, I would definitely be able to plunder it and make it a part of me."

"With one side gaining at the expense of the other, Cthulhu is probably in trouble."

After quite some time, the spatial storm finally subsided.

The space was gradually repaired.

Cthulhu's enormous body also began to shrink gradually.

It eventually turned into the shape of a yellow octopus.

"Cthulhu's power is too much for me to digest in a short time."

"I have compressed all my divine power. Don't call me out unless it's absolutely necessary."

"I will reward you after I have digested this divine power."

Hastur transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into Ye Bai's brow.

The underwater city was quiet at this moment.

Ye Bai originally intended to destroy the entire city, but after thinking about it, he stopped himself.

"This is an underwater city with immense research value."

"Such a well-preserved city, if handed over to our Yan Kingdom researchers, should be able to analyze a lot of Cthulhu civilization."

"At the same time, this place can also serve as an underwater base for the Yan Kingdom."

"Sky-Devouring Pelican, leave these spatial coordinates, let's go."

Gonggonghao.

Lanfa, Zhang Tianan, and Yunluo were all anxiously waiting for Ye Bai's whereabouts.

The entire Gonggong was surrounded by a large number of headless bodies.

Ye Bai's suggested mirror copying tactic proved effective.

After Zhang Tianan's clones used the Song of Annihilation, they all perished without affecting his main body.

"Lanfa, your talent has great potential; it should be developed further."

Both Yun Luo and Zhang Tianan said so.

Just then, a spatial rift appeared.

Ye Bai's figure emerged from the spatial rift.

"Moses Moses."

Ye Bai greeted the three of them.

Why are you all looking so dumbfounded?

"I'm back?"

Ye Bai said with a smile.

"What's the situation over there now?"

The three of them quickly asked.

"There are basically no problems now, and I've also destroyed the Abyss Gate."

"Cthulhu also rushed back, leaving behind an intact deep-sea base."

"Captain Ye, please sail away from this area first. I have something to report to the marshals."

Ye Shuang nodded; she had originally come to assist Ye Bai.

Information about the Gates of the Abyss is extremely important.

Ye Bai contacted the six marshals through encrypted channels.

"Ye Bai, what's the situation on the other side of the ocean floor right now?"

Marshal Qilin asked impatiently.

"I have annihilated all the Deep Ones, and the Gate of the Abyss has been shattered."

Ye Bai recounted what had happened.

"Alright, tell me again the details of how you destroyed the Abyss Gate."

Ye Bai repeated it again.

“Very good, Ye Bai, you have provided us with a plan to destroy the Abyss Gate.”

"The armies of angels and demons in the Abyss are all restless."

"I hope to send you to guard that place and replace the Rooster, the pillar of the nation."

"Of course, we won't let you suffer any losses. Just tell us your conditions."

"We will definitely fulfill any request you can make."

Marshal Huanglong made this promise in front of everyone.

"Marshal, I would like to continue some research in the Sea God Abyss. I wonder if that's possible?"

Ye Bai follows a dual path; besides regular combat, research is also his domain.

"No problem, we approve. There is a large laboratory in the Sea God Abyss."

“You can conduct your research there.”

"In the end, it was us old guys who delayed your research."

"However, you should still be careful when you are stationed at the Sea God's Abyss."

"The armies of angels and demons could launch a surprise attack on Poseidon's Abyss at any moment."

"However, we don't know exactly when."
