Survival on the Internet: A Bizarre Start at Sea

Although the ceremony was interrupted, it was not a complete failure!

The complete R'lyeh could not possibly descend, nor could the projection of R'lyeh replace Atlantis.

However, the fragmented "conceptual" features belonging to that dream city, like black ink dripping into water, quickly merged into the entire Atlantis along the energy circulation in the Moon Well.

Twisted, non-geometric patterns appeared on the surfaces of some glass coral buildings, some street corners became illogical, and a faint, strange scent began to permeate the air, a mixture of the sweet, fishy smell of seaweed and the scent of old paper.

Atlantis is no longer the pure Atlantis.

Conceptually, this is equivalent to R'lyeh.

"Roar—! Damn it!"

Dagon's roar carried a hint of pain and anger at being stopped.

Seemingly realizing that the situation was hopeless, it abruptly retracted its injured giant claws, attempting to escape through the hole in the sky.

"Trying to leave?! You betrayed my faith, ruined my ceremony, and hurt my brother! Stay here!"

Cthulhu's shriek rang out again, his rage even greater.

She clearly took Su Zhisu's intervention as a forced attempt to save herself, and vented all her anger over the failed ritual on Dagon.

At this moment, Atlantis was R'lyeh. With a wave of her hand, the enormous dream tentacles condensed once more.

Instead of striking, it coiled around Dagon's retracted arm like a nimble python, tightly gripping it and trying to hold him back!

At the same time, the green mist that shrouded Atlantis boiled, and more mist tentacles materialized and joined the entanglement.

The confrontation and struggle between the two great beings made it impossible for Atlantis's already shattered "sky" to bear the strain any longer.

"Crack... Boom!!!"

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the dome above Atlantis completely collapsed.

It's no longer just a hole, but the entire "ceiling" has disappeared!

Atlantis is exposed in the deep sea!

The dark red, polluted, and eerie sea, having lost its last barrier, transformed into a world-destroying raging torrent, crashing down upon Atlantis!

However, when these seawaters came into contact with the edge shrouded in Cthulhu's green mist, they seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and were forcibly blocked from entering.

A giant bubble space was formed, enveloping Atlantis, but the terrifying pressure and endless pollution of the deep sea outside were already clearly visible.

Cthulhu's figure appeared and disappeared in the giant tentacles. She clung tightly to Dagon's giant claws, and with the force of the retraction, she transformed into a green streak of light, directly breaking through the barrier of Atlantis and crashing into the endless, strange sea outside, disappearing into the depths of darkness.

Only her murderous intent remained: "Dagon! I will tear you to pieces!"

Terrifying battle shockwaves emanated from the depths of the sea, sending chills down everyone's spines even through the barrier.

Just then, a slightly unsteady figure appeared on the edge of the crumbling Atlantis—it was Hydra.

Her face was as pale as paper, her breath weak, and the dean's robe was stained with dark blue blood, clearly indicating that she had gone through a fierce battle.

She glanced quickly at the scene, her gaze sweeping over the wrecked altar and the chaotic city, as well as Su Zhisu in her transformed state.

A glint flashed in his eyes.

"Su Zhisu!"

Hydra's voice was hurried and weak, "Lord Cthulhu has been lured out! There's more than just Dagon outside...!"

"Atlantis... I will do my best to stabilize it for now!"

"If you... if you still have the strength, please help her!"

Since the incarnation time had already exceeded 5 seconds, Su Zhisu was now suffering from a splitting headache, and he was constantly being subjected to mental shocks.

【综网提示】：遭受精神冲击，判定中……1d100+30=53＜70，抵抗失败。

The moment the judgment failed, Su Zhisu, who had transformed into the giant moon spirit, felt the vast and cold perspective of the "moon" in his perception, which twisted and collapsed without warning.

The first sensation was not pain, but the dissolution of the boundary.

He "heard" the sound—not through hearing, but directly through his thought process, the sound roaring and scraping within his mental structure.

It wasn't Dagon's roar, nor Cthulhu's babbling, but some kind of deeper, more ancient... noise.

It's like millions of slippery rocks rubbing against each other on the seabed, or like something invisible using inhuman mouthparts to gnaw on the "back side" of the world.

Next comes visual pollution.

The eerie blue flames burning in his "eyes," representing the "Night Watch Heart Flame," suddenly surged and deformed.

The cold flames were no longer pure; their edges were stained with a murky, ever-changing color—dark red, pale green, and murky yellow…

The colors intertwined, attempting to piece together incomprehensible patterns, and just glimpsing their tendency to form sent a jolt of intense, conceptual nausea through him.

Subsequently, the anchor of cognition loosened.

"I am Su Zhisu."

"I am transforming into the Moon Giant."

"I fight in the deep sea."

These clear thoughts, like words written on the sand, were suddenly washed away by the invisible waves of noise and murky colors.

His self began to blur, and he "felt" that his enormous body, formed from moonlight, was "melting".

It's not a physical dissipation, but an existential dilution—as if it were merging into the surrounding cold seawater, into the aftershocks of the distant battle, into the omnipresent, frantic background noise.

A cold, non-emotional fear gripped him.

This is not the fear of injury or death, but the ultimate panic of "being erased from existence and assimilated into part of disordered noise".

"laugh--!"

The mental shock did not directly destroy the Moon Giant, but it acted like the most deadly poison, injecting itself into the Moon Giant's massive body.

If it fails the judgment again, the Moon Giant will be dissolved!

The judgment came the next moment!

【综网提示】：遭受精神冲击，判定中……1d100+30=108＞70。

[Network Notice]: If the judgment value is greater than 100, the judgment is a great success. You will no longer be subject to mental shocks for the next 30 seconds.

Su Zhisu suddenly came to his senses. Recalling what had just happened, he couldn't help but shudder.

I glanced at my sanity level, and it turned out I only had a little over 30 points left.

"Fortunately, there's still the [Yearning for True Freedom] skill, otherwise this skill can't be used casually at all."

Sensing the battle fluctuations coming from afar in the deep sea, he glanced at the skill panel; the [Moon Giant] incarnation had only 35 seconds left.

Cooling down and punishment are secondary; the immediate crisis is imminent—what if Cthulhu is defeated…

There was no time to hesitate.

Despite his physical weakness and the piercing pain deep in his soul, he suddenly stood up straight, and the flame of his night watchmanship rekindled in his eyes, though it was far less intense than before.

"I'll go hold off Dagon!"

He shouted at Hydra, and the Night Watch Heart Flame ignited on the Moon Giant's body. He transformed into a slightly dim blue-silver meteor and shot headlong into the distant battlefield from which terrifying fluctuations were emanating.
