I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

He is like a guy who acts to make the world more exciting, constantly traveling between different realms, releasing those ancient rulers, and bringing chaos to the realms.

"What...what is this?"

The cashier also survived. When he saw the sun in the sky, he completely broke down.

Cries of agony and screams filled the air as the survivors on the island pleaded for help, but no one was there to assist them.

Those who were lucky, like Lu Ban and his group, managed to escape by hiding under tables or in gaps against walls on the first floor.

Those who were unlucky and lived on the second floor didn't have time to escape and simply died on the spot.

Those who survive are not necessarily lucky, because they may have to endure something even more terrifying than death.

Upon noticing the black sun in the sky, many people were gripped by panic, confusion, and despair. They forgot what to do and didn't know what to do, so they could only sit there blankly, staring at the sky.

"It seems the typhoon's movement has stopped."

Xia estimated that the typhoon had been moving extremely fast, arriving on the island from the horizon in just over ten minutes. And now, the storm seemed to have no intention of leaving, remaining stationary here.

This is of course a very small probability.

According to Amber and Lu Ban, the storm was caused by humans, or rather, by gods, so even a small probability is normal.

However, this black sun always gives people a sense of unreality.

"Oh my god!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the ruins nearby, and the person pointed to the sun in the sky.

Because the sun was pure black, it wouldn't damage eyesight even if you looked directly at it. Xia observed carefully and saw that around the spherical sun, it was as if something was scattered, with countless fragments falling down like tadpoles, drifting down with the high-speed rotating storm.

The debris was entirely black, resembling twisted snakes. Although it looked like mosquitoes to the naked eye, once the distance was considered, it was clear that each of these "insects" was probably tens of meters long. They were definitely not "small insects," but rather robust giant pythons.

"These look like gifts prepared for us by the [Dark Ones]."

After a moment's thought, Lu Ban roughly understood the Dark One's intentions: to use these monsters to kill him, extract his soul, and then place it in another alien realm, or use it as material to complete some perverse game.

If Amber and Sia had died before that, Lu Ban might have had a chance to return to reality with Charlotte's help.

"It's too late."

Amber glanced at Sia, giving the impression that she might be about to cross the Lu Ban and make a move.

"Don't worry, the situation we are in now is actually the key to breaking the deadlock."

Lu Ban stopped Amber, and due to the urgency of the situation, he could only say a few words.

"This alien land possesses power that transcends the authority of the Dark Ones, so the law that knowledge equals pollution does not apply. He is happy to be in danger, and thus he has given us an opportunity."

"Furthermore, He did not focus His gaze here, because that would cause history to freeze, but He cannot remain unseen forever, because ultimately He still needs to confirm my condition."

"Therefore, we only have one chance to let Him turn His gaze upon us, to freeze history in time, and under the witness of an incarnation of an Outer God, there is a chance to reverse some things that have not yet been witnessed."

He looked at Amber and Sia.

"In the other realm, you have died and were witnessed by the Silent Land. Now, the two of you have appeared before me. So, if you can find an opportunity to let the [Dark Ones] witness your survival, then you will have the chance to live on in your 'present' form."

In short, Amber and Sia were both dead, but their souls were stolen by the "Dark Ones" and given a second life here.

Therefore, the current Amber and Sia are actually "clones" with Amber and Sia's memories.

The real Amber and Sia are dead, but the "clones" are living, breathing people.

If this fact is confirmed by the Outer God, then Lu Ban may be able to take the two of them out of this world and into the real world.

The key to everything is getting the "Dark Ones" to confirm what's happening here in some way.

Based on the characteristics of this world, Lu Ban has a bold and crazy idea.

That is, to awaken the supreme god who is sleeping in this foreign land, or who is connected to this foreign land.

When He awakens, the "Dark Ones" will definitely come over.

Therefore, for Lu Ban and his companions, the top priority now is to survive the onslaught of these swarming monsters.

Chapter 942 Pollution

The air pressure at the eye of a typhoon is lower than outside, and in the center of this superstorm, the air pressure is even more suffocating. If Lu Ban could see the direction of the wind, he would see the air clinging to the eye wall rising and falling rapidly. In such turbulence, even the most skilled pilot could lose control, turning his plane into a bird in the storm, torn to pieces.

The worms that emerged from the black sun were about to fall to the ground. These worms were enormous, as thick as giant oil tankers, and stretched for more than ten meters in length. Their mere existence was enough to drive many people to the brink of madness and leave them dumbfounded.

These worms moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, those that had fallen into the sea came ashore and surged toward the city center.

"many."

Lu Ban couldn't help but sigh.

Faced with such a large insect, Lu Ban's combat power was almost zero. Although Xi Ya was better than Lu Ban, the size difference was obviously not something that could be made up for by the difference in pilot skills. So, rounding up, Xi Ya's combat power was also zero.

Only Amber, being able to control those shadowy figures, still possesses some fighting power.

Before Lu Ban could continue speaking, Amber was already standing in front of the two of them.

In this still, windless eye, her hair swayed slightly.

In the distance, a worm that had just crawled onto the beach suddenly twitched slightly.

In the seawater beneath it, dark tentacles gripped the worm's body.

Suddenly, more tentacles emerged from the water, clinging to the worm and hindering its progress.

As you can see, dark shadows are constantly leaping out of the water. They use their tentacles to tear at the worm's shell. The tough, leathery shell is pulled by the tentacles, and black, viscous, oil-like pus flows out. This pus is lighter than water and floats on the surface of the sea, quickly forming a mass.

The worm shriveled up and became an empty shell.

More shadowy figures emerged and began to fight the worms.

Some of the worms ignored the attacks of these shadowy figures. They seemed to have only one goal: to keep moving forward. Even with their wounds reopening, they continued to advance. Everything in the path of the worms was crushed.

Whether it's architectural ruins, humans, or shadowy figures.

The sound of bones being crushed came from beneath these worms, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Ban was surrounded by them.

Nearby, the convenience store cashier hid behind the counter. He was delirious, completely refusing to accept reality, trembling and showing no intention of escaping.

In fact, there was no way to escape in the areas where these worms passed.

Ordinary people cannot cross the high wall formed by these worms, and anyone who tries to stop them will be crushed to pieces by these worms.

That's what despair is like; you can see it, you can touch it, but you can never overcome it.

In just a few minutes, almost all of the island's inhabitants perished under the crushing weight of the worms.

Beside Amber, the shadowy figures also formed a wall. They fought against the worms, tearing apart the approaching worms. In a short time, they actually built a wall made of worm corpses.

Just like a typhoon hitting the ground, Lu Ban's location was the only safe eye of the storm.

At this moment, Lu Ban looked at the tentacled shadows that were fighting for him and being crushed by worms, and he felt that they had become more handsome.

A worm approached Lu Ban. Unlike the white monsters with fine teeth he had seen before, it had dark mouthparts that were like black holes, devouring all light. No one knew what would happen if they were swallowed by it; it was an unknown fear.

"We can't just stay here like this."

Xia tried to find the cashier at the convenience store, but found that he had already disappeared into the sea of ​​insects.

Ordinary people's lives are so fragile in the face of such natural disasters from foreign lands, they don't even have time to struggle.

Although Sia had never encountered a similar situation before, she knew very well that staying here would only lead to a slow death, and they had to find a way to break through this storm.

"I can only keep these insects away from here; I can't take you out."

Amber said that controlling these shadowy figures also required willpower; she was almost unable to move at the moment and had to concentrate fully.

Lu Ban knew that if things continued like this, Amber would eventually be unable to hold on any longer. At that time, they would really be devoured by these worms and sent to some strange place.

To change the current situation, our current fighting strength is clearly insufficient.

Even if Amber restores Sia's memories, judging from Trist and Momiji's performance, they are still unable to demonstrate extraordinary abilities in this world.

The only person Lu Ban has encountered with extraordinary abilities is Amber, who can control the shadows because of Charlotte's intervention.

"and many more."

Lu Ban was struck by inspiration. He looked at Amber, who was trembling slightly. Sweat soaked her clothes, causing the plain dress to cling to her skin, and her body could be faintly seen underneath.

Lu Ban had no time to observe these things carefully; he asked Amber.

"When you gained these powers, did you sense anything else in your mind?"

“I was talking in my sleep and saw some bizarre and fantastical images. In addition, I saw the ecological habits and manipulation methods of these shadowy figures. These things were as if they had always existed in my mind.”

Amber answered with some difficulty.

Lu Ban immediately understood.

Clearly, in this alien land, knowledge does not necessarily represent pollution, but some knowledge itself is pollution. According to the laws of this alien land, knowledge is pollution, knowledge is power, and power is also accompanied by pollution.

Amber gained power, and similarly, knowledge and pollution appeared in her mind.

Therefore, if Lu Ban were to come into contact with the pollution, he might be able to gain some power.

Of course, his rationality will certainly be affected, and it's uncertain whether he will go insane on the spot.

After all, Lu Ban is such a rational person.

"That jade pendant, is it with you?"

Lu Ban asked again.

"Ah."

Amber nodded, and quickly understood what Lu Ban meant.

"No, you might go completely insane and get lost in the pollution."

She said that the pollution was far beyond what ordinary people could withstand, and even if Lu Ban could gain power from it, it was hard to say whether he could still maintain his self-awareness.

"It's okay. With you all here, at least I can still remember who I am."

Lu Ban said, placing his hand on Amber's head and gently stroking her short hair.

Amber bit her lower lip lightly. She hesitated for a few seconds, and then a dark shadow crawled over to her side.

From between the tentacles of that dark shadow, an ancient jade pendant was pushed out.

Xia instinctively looked away; she didn't want to get close to this thing.
