Meanwhile, the void.
After temporarily sealing Nyarlathotep, Xie Bai quickly returned to the void, lay exhausted on the bed, and did not get up for a long time.
Xie Ling, who had just finished tidying up the house, saw this scene and asked in confusion.
"Um... are you sleepy or hungry? Would you like me to cook you a meal?"
Xie Bai didn't turn over, and said to Xie Ling with a sullen face.
"casual…"
Hearing such a perfunctory answer, Xie Ling's little face immediately showed a hint of displeasure.
"Seriously, what's with this 'whatever' thing again?"
After complaining for a while, Xie Ling looked at the dishes and chopsticks that had just been washed in the kitchen, thought for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Perfect timing, I haven't had dinner yet, so I'll just give you an extra set of chopsticks and bowls to lick clean."
After saying that, Xie Ling quickly ran to the kitchen, counted the remaining ingredients, and then began preparing dinner without stopping.
Hearing the commotion coming from the kitchen, Xie Bai raised half of his head and looked at Xie Ling's petite figure who was busy at work.
"Hmm... alright, since things have come to this, let's have a meal first."
Thinking of this, Xie Bai slowly sat up from the bed and combed his messy hair.
Ever since sealing Nyarlathotep away, she has been thinking of a suitable solution, but after thinking for so long, she still hasn't found a proper way.
It wasn't like this when I encountered trouble before.
Often, all she needs to do is eliminate the person who caused or raised the problem with a single strike, and the rest can be handled by others.
But the situation is completely different now.
Only she can solve Nyarlathotep's problem; letting someone else do it will only cause more trouble. However, she can no longer eliminate her target with a single blow as usual.
All this agonizing has really put her in a bad mood.
Since Nyarlathotep can't break the seal on the base black sphere anytime soon, she might as well rest for a while, adjust her condition, and then think about how to solve it.
Just as Xie Bai had adjusted her mindset and was looking forward to what Xie Ling would prepare for her today, a message from Elania suddenly came through the Divine Connection.
After listening to the gist of the conversation, Xie Bai frowned instantly.
"What does it mean that all the knights have rebelled? What does it mean that the World Tree has become diseased? And what does it mean that a terrifying aura is emanating from the base black sphere?"
Listening to Alania's account, Xie Bai immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Needless to say, this was definitely caused by that guy Nyarlathotep.
She had originally planned to have a proper meal first, but now it seems she'll have to wait a while.
"I'll be leaving for a bit. If you're hungry, you can eat by yourself."
After leaving Xie Ling with these words, Xie Bai left the void once again.
Hearing the commotion, Xie Ling quickly ran out from the kitchen.
Upon seeing the empty room, her expression instantly became unsettled.
"Wait, is this really happening? I've already prepared half a table of food!!"
……
Once outside, Xie Bai quickly located the base black sphere where she had previously sealed Naya.
It was very stable, showing no signs of loosening, and Nyarlathotep's figure remained in place.
After finding nothing unusual for the time being, Xie Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, a surge of anger rushed to the top of her head.
"What are Thanatos and his men up to now! How come the whole world thinks they've rebelled?"
Just as Xie Bai was about to use the divine connection to find the knights, he discovered that something seemed to be blocking the divine connection between him and the knights.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was caused by the black mist overflowing from the World Tree.
The black mist seemed to possess a power that did not belong to this world, and even she could not perceive what was inside.
If nothing unexpected happens, Thanatos and his group are likely hiding in this black mist.
Just as Xie Bai was wondering about the origin of this black mist, the Book of Truth appeared before her once again.
[The Twilight Hour, also known as the Dark Cataclysm by the true gods, is an apocalyptic disaster that can only be averted by the combined efforts of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.]
The specific manifestation of twilight is that the World Tree becomes diseased, the world's rules begin to shift in favor of the end of the era, and any restrictions related to the end of the era will be lifted.
The pervasive black mist symbolizes the extent of the World Tree's corruption and contains a portion of the power of the end times. Touching it will result in the loss of some of its power, and if it is a true god, it will also lose a portion of its concepts and authority.
The First Twilight Hour occurred after the fall of the Void King. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse sacrificed themselves to bring about the Twilight Hour and left behind traces of the power of the end times.
[Preparations for the current twilight hour are insufficient, resulting in a significantly lower level of harm compared to the first time, but it still poses a considerable risk.]
After reading the explanation given by the Book of Truth, Xie Bai roughly understood the origin of this black mist, but he still had some doubts.
"So it seems the first twilight was even more terrifying than this. How did the High Court survive then?"
No, it seems like we didn't completely pull through either.
Judging from the fact that the true gods collectively fell into slumber and the High Court pretended to be dead for thirty million years, the price involved seems to be quite high.
Of course, with her around now, it's impossible for Ivy and the others to bear such a terrible price.
If I don't step in, then the Wheel of Fortune, along with Valhalla, will end up resembling the High Court of yesteryear.
According to the Book of Truth, the root of the problem lies in the World Tree.
Once the disease problem of the World Tree is solved, most of the other problems are actually not that big of a problem.
Thinking of this, Xie Bai tried opening the game map.
Great, the map function still works, and due to the world merging, even the original territory of Blue Star has now appeared on the map.
Just as Xie Bai was about to activate the effect of Boundless Floating Light and teleport directly to the World Tree for a physical therapy, a terrifying aura suddenly attacked from behind her, forcing her to instinctively dodge to her surroundings.
After regaining his senses, Xie Bai quickly looked at the object that had attacked him, and his eyes immediately showed a layer of astonishment.
That was the giant scythe that Nyarlathotep used to wield, the Carving Mark.
At this moment, it was unmanned and autonomously smashed open a hideous black and red spatial rift in mid-air.
At the inner end of the spatial rift, a liquid sphere of the same color slowly floated out.
[The Final Godhood]
