Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

Nyarlathotep even began to regret. He began to reflect on his past decisions, regretting why he dispersed his power among countless incarnations and why he took the initiative to provoke unexpected enemies when the situation was unclear.

"Regret? Why would I regret it?" Nyarlathotep was stunned when he realized that he actually had regret, an extremely emotional emotion.

Fear comes from the most primitive instinct in the heart of life. He, the three pillars of gods, all the gods in the Cthulhu pantheon, and even the omnipotent Lord Azathoth were essentially born out of the emotion of "fear", born out of life's fear of the unknown.

Therefore, Nyarlathotep deeply understands fear and enjoys the fear that life shows in front of Him. It is natural for him to feel fear when facing greater unknowns.

However, the emotion of regret was unfamiliar to Nyarlathotep.

His existence is based on chaos and the unknown, rather than logic and choice. His actions often have no clear purpose, but he just moves with the fluctuations of chaos. Regret, an emotion that arises from making choices, theoretically should not exist in Nyarlathotep.

But at this moment, He actually felt regret deep in His heart, which made Him feel confused.

Chapter 301: Stealth, Nayako

"Herzog, it was that guy's emotions that polluted me!" The incarnation's loss of control could not affect Nyarlathotep's original wisdom. After realizing the abnormality in his own situation, he quickly found the cause of the change.

"He also needs the secret door of Yog-Sothoth to lock my position. No matter what the reason is, this means that I still have room for detour and must hide as soon as possible." The current situation is really not optimistic for Nyarlathotep. Herzog's emotional integration makes it impossible for him to maintain his previous good mentality. Now what Nyarlathotep needs most is to hide himself and then find a way to find new countermeasures.

The secret door of Yog-Sothoth was completely scrapped after being used once. Even though Nyarlathotep's condition has reached its lowest point in history, after the secret door left on his body by Yog-Sothoth disappeared, in a sense, it was also the most secretive time for him to move around since the war between the two sides started - provided that there is no external intervention.

For Nyarlathotep, the threat that the White Scar might pose was no longer his main consideration at the moment.

Firstly, although Baihen had acted rather harshly, since he had not taken this opportunity to kill Nyarlathotep in one go, Nyarlathotep thought that he would not have to worry about problems from this aspect in the short term.

Secondly, there was no point in worrying. Nyarlathotep's own fear, coupled with the fear from Herzog, had made him subconsciously exclude the White Scar from the list of enemies. He could not imagine how he would respond when facing the White Scar.

Nyarlathotep dragged his broken body away quickly, and Yog-Sothoth's will finally arrived after Nyarlathotep escaped. However, Yog-Sothoth had already rehearsed this result countless times in his mind, so he did not show any disappointment.

On the contrary, when Yog-Sothoth felt Nyarlathotep's current state, an emotion called "surprise" quietly rose in His consciousness. Of course, along with the surprise, there was also the "fear" that originated from the origin of His soul.

Since the last meeting with White Scar, Yog-Sothoth has cut off any form of communication with White Scar, and is unable to spy on White Scar's every move. He can only speculate on White Scar's behavior based on limited intelligence and predictive models.

However, from those scattered and incomplete intelligence, the future scenes that Yog-Sothoth could deduce were extremely limited and narrow, as if bound by an invisible barrier.

Although He had conducted a large number of predictions and analyses based on an in-depth study of Bai Hen's personality and past behaviors, due to the misalignment and lack of knowledge about Bai Hen's abilities, these predictions were never able to touch the core of the truth, making it impossible for Him to correctly calculate what Bai Hen could do, let alone judge what Bai Hen would do under what circumstances.

Therefore, when Bai Hen casually injected everything of Herzog into Nyarlathotep's body, he slightly modified the "blessing" originally applied to Herzog and directly applied it to Nyarlathotep, achieving an extremely terrifying effect on him.

Yog-Sothoth, who chose to betray Azathoth out of fear of "death", also developed fear of the "unknown" and once again was "glad" that he made the right choice.

Moreover, the power of Nyarlathotep, which was split into countless parts along with the incarnation, could no longer be considered a threat in the eyes of Yog-Sothoth from this moment on. The previous war would be officially rewritten into a game of cat and mouse from now on.

As long as Yog-Sothoth can lock onto the remaining body of Nyarlathotep, then He will have completely secured victory.

Even at the moment when Nyarlathotep's power was severely weakened and his incarnations were scattered, countless new possibilities unfolded before Yog-Sothoth. Based on these new possibilities, He was able to formulate a plan that was far more stable and superior than the conclusions He had drawn before.

At the same time, after updating the database about the existence of "White Scar" in his mind, Yog-Sothoth felt that he needed to adjust the existing plan again to create a more suitable meeting gift for White Scar.

"Ding, the Reincarnation Plaza will be maintained and updated in one system hour. Please pay attention, all reincarnations. To ensure your safety and experience, please leave the Reincarnation Plaza in time before the update and maintenance time arrives, and do not hang around here.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and I wish you all the best in your reincarnation world."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly rang in his mind, allowing Xiang Baihen to learn a little bit of information. Lu Mingze, who was about to say goodbye and go find Chu Zihang to learn more information, stood there in a daze with a very interesting expression.

"Well, the Reincarnation Plaza is going to be updated... Boss, do you have any ideas?" Lu Mingze asked with a slight twitch in his mouth.

As for the reason that this incident had nothing to do with Bai Hen and that they just happened to bump into each other, even if Lu Mingfei's cousin Lu Mingze, who was eight feet tall and had a waist circumference of eight feet, came, he would not believe it. How could such a coincidence happen?

Bai Hen had just solved the problem of the Dragon World, and less than a minute had passed when the Reincarnation Square released an announcement for maintenance and updates. To say that these two things were unrelated, Lu Mingze would simply eat up another Lu Mingze!

Moreover, although Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei are newcomers who have just joined the Samsara Square, they have participated in the mission of hunting down evil gods and have communicated with those more experienced Samsaras - such as Aqua, who is easy to deceive and has a loose mouth. This is the first time they know that the existence behind the Samsara Square can say the word "please" and even gave the Samsaras an hour to leave.

If it were in the past, the best outcome would have been that the reincarnationists and their relatives and family members currently in the Reincarnation Square would be forcibly expelled, and then the Reincarnation Square would spontaneously complete the renewal, allowing the confused reincarnationists to explore the new Reincarnation Square on their own.

There is another more important thing, that is, what happened that caused the Reincarnation Square to have to drive people away before it could be updated. According to the ability of the big guys behind it, shouldn't they ignore the Reincarnations and update the server in seconds without stopping?

"What does it have to do with me? I've already said that I didn't build the Reincarnation Plaza." Bai Hen rolled his eyes and said, "Instead of worrying about this, you should solve your problem quickly."

"Do we have any other questions?" Lu Mingfei, who was just watching the show, was confused. He didn't expect that he could be poked again.

"Then my brother and I will leave first. Boss, I hope you and Miss Uesugi have fun." Feeling that Bai Hen would not say anything nice, Lu Mingze interrupted him directly, then pulled Lu Mingfei, forced him to transform, and flew away directly, not giving Lu Mingfei the chance to satisfy his curiosity.

"Tsk tsk~" Bai Hen looked at Lu Mingze's back as he fled in a panic, but did not stop him. He just smiled meaningfully.

"Bai Hen." Uesugi Eri pulled Bai Hen's sleeve and asked curiously, "Does Lu Mingfei and the others have any hidden dangers?"

"Do you know how ordinary trees reproduce?" Bai Hen asked Uesugi Eri.

"I know, I've learned this!" Uesugi Eryi's eyes lit up and she raised her head proudly, "There are seed propagation, grafting, cuttings, and division. You can also culture a complete tree from part of the tree's tissue."

Over the years, Erii Uesugi has not only been playing every day. Although it may not be useful, she has also taught herself a lot of common basic knowledge that can be used in all the heavens and worlds, so that she can better adapt to the environment during her travels in the new world.

"Do trees have gender differences?" Bai Hen continued to ask.

"Yes, yes!" Uesugi Erie nodded and said, "But not all tree species follow the rule of dioeciousness. Some trees are monoecious, that is, they have both male and female reproductive organs on the same tree."

"Then tell me, Lu Mingfei has been single for so many years under Lu Mingze's strict supervision, what is he trying to achieve?" Is there any need to ask what this brother-control person is thinking? Bai Hen didn't install a gender lock when he created Lu Mingze's body. Lu Mingze just can't let go of his face and self-esteem.

In any case, in Bai Hen's opinion, there will be intense friction between Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei sooner or later, not only friction that will cause sparks to fly, but also friction that will cause water to splash.

And even if a gender lock is installed and Lu Mingze is forced to lock his gender, with Lu Mingze's attitude, it is only a matter of time before he goes astray. However, by then, the style will not be that of Qidian but of Jinjiang.

"Ah~" Uesugi Erii opened her little mouth cutely, but couldn't make any sound for a long time.

"Okay, let's go." Bai Hen patted Uesugi Eriya's little head, asking her to collect her thoughts for a while, and then he would take her home.

-----------------

After the notice was released in the Samsara Square, the entire Samsara Square experienced a brief period of chaos.

Since the appearance of the Samsara Square, although the mission of hunting down the evil god has been proceeding normally, there has never been any notification or announcement about the Samsara Square itself. This is the first time that the Samsaras have received news related to the Samsara Square.

"What should we do, Tia? Are we going to tear down this house as well?" Looking at the decorations and various tools fixed on the walls of the house, Qi Nanami asked Tiamat in distress.

“But this house has been integrated with the Samsara Square and there’s no way to take it away…” Tiamat said dejectedly, with sadness in her Star Eyes.

"Of course I know, I'm just saying that. I hope this place can remain the same after the update and maintenance is completed." Nanami stood on tiptoes and patted Tiamat's head to comfort her.

The two of them formed a bond during the Holy Grail War and promised to be together forever (Tiamat: Forever~; Nanami Kagami: Forever, it feels like such a heavy word.) also became one of the earliest batch of Reincarnations in the Reincarnation Square.

Nanami has also completed the forging of his own "sword". When he was not in the Samsara Square, he had long returned to the Type-Moon world and lived with Tiamat. Tiamat also traded with other Samsaras through the Samsara Square, suppressed and completely controlled all of her own powers, and successfully enabled herself to talk and communicate normally with others.

As they were among the first people to land on the Samsara Square, they naturally had their own properties in the Square.

With her unique understanding of swords, Nanami simply transformed her and Tiamat's house into a weapon shop, where she made weapons for others in exchange for precious items or knowledge from other worlds.

Most of the precious items obtained from the weapon shop were used by the two of them in this weapon shop. The countless precious materials from different worlds and the power and hard work poured into it by Nanami and Tiamat made this weapon shop one of the most precious assets in the Samsara Square.

Now that the Samsara Plaza has suddenly issued a maintenance and update notice, it is still unknown whether this weapon shop can still exist in the updated Samsara Plaza. Nanami and Tiamat are reluctant to leave this house that they have poured a lot of effort into and have used for a long time.

"It doesn't matter. Nanami will be with me forever, and we can build a new house when the time comes." Tiamat took Nanami into her arms and comforted her.

"I've told you so many times, don't do this to me suddenly! Also, the word 'forever' is too unrealistic." Nanami complained, but his body honestly accepted Tiamat's warm embrace.

Just as the reincarnations in the Reincarnation Square were busy transferring their assets, on a planet somewhere in the universe, Yog-Sothoth locked his eyes on this place.

"La la la la, I finally graduated." Nayako happily hummed a tune outside the campus, feeling excited that she could finally be freed from the heavy workload at school.

"I will be the next ace commissioner of the United Planetary Protection Agency. Hey, look at me becoming a gorgeous salary thief!" Nayako made inappropriate remarks while walking towards her home.

"I'm back...Huh? Where is this? Have I been kidnapped?!" After pushing open the door, Nyako was shocked to find that the people who greeted her were not her family or her familiar home, but an unfamiliar space.

"How dare you! You actually kidnapped me, a reserve employee of the United Planetary Protection Agency? Do you want to learn my invincible Cosmic CQC (Cosmic-level close combat)?" Nayako shouted loudly while looking around vigilantly.

Chapter 302 I am my ancestor, is this true or false?

Strands of faint fluorescent light, as soft as silk threads, quietly embellished the originally dim ocean with a sparkling glow. Under the reflection of this faint light, Nayako was surprised to find that there was a vast and calm ocean under her feet.

Nayako used her slender tentacles to carefully touch the blue and calm sea surface. The gentle touch instantly stirred up circles of ripples on the sea surface. The ripples slowly spread, breaking the original tranquility.

From beneath the rippling sea surface, balls of light emitting pure white fluorescence rose from the sea. The faint glow from the balls made them look as bright as stars, causing Nayako to tremble when she saw this scene.

"Great-great-great-great-great-great...great-great-grandfather?" Nayako said with some stammering. She herself didn't know if she had called the right person for the ancestor who should only live in legend.

Although Nyako is a Nyarlathotep from Nyarlathotep, Yog has always maintained friendly relations with them. Although Yog's ancestors are not everywhere on Nyarlathotep, their images are also common in the culture of the Nyarlathotep.

As for whether it was someone who deliberately impersonated me to play a trick on me?

Under the shining light, Nayako didn't dare to have such thoughts at all, and couldn't believe who had the guts to impersonate this ancestor. Once known by those fanatical admirers of the ancestor, that person would never live a peaceful life again.

Yog-Sothoth did not deny the name of Nyarsk, even though the Cthulhu mythology of this world became strange after a series of distortions, and the Outer Gods and Old Gods including their Three Pillars had all turned into alien races.

But since the ancestor of Yog-Sothoth in this world used the name Yog-Sothoth, and all signs and causes and effects clearly point to His original body, even if this existence is extremely different from the incarnation or clone commonly understood, it can still be regarded as the incarnation of Yog-Sothoth.

When Yog-Sothoth doesn't care about it, it is the ancestor of a developed alien civilization in a certain world. When Yog-Sothoth personally comes to this world, its existence will naturally be assimilated by Yog-Sothoth and become a part of the huge concept of Yog-Sothoth.

"Go and become the new Nyarlathotep." Yog-Sothoth said to Nyarlathotep.

"Ah?" Nyako was a little stunned after hearing Yog-Sothoth's incoherent words. She was not sure if she was having nonsensical auditory hallucinations because she was too excited about seeing the ancestor next door.

"The old Nyarlathotep can no longer assume the duties of the Three Pillars. I need a new Nyarlathotep to take his place." The inorganic voice of Yog-Sothoth echoed in Nyarra's mind, restoring her brain, which was about to shut down.

"Is it true that I'm going to be Nyarlathotep?" Nyarlathotep pointed at himself with his tentacles, his face full of shock and disbelief.

How could she, a Nyarlathotep who had just graduated from school and had not yet officially joined the United Planetary Protection Agency, suddenly be crowned? Moreover, did he know that you were treating the ancestors of Naia like this?

A huge storm formed in Nyako's mind. The smart girl keenly realized that there was something strange about this matter. Could this be a test given to an outstanding newcomer like her by the United Planetary Protection Agency? But what kind of test could bring out this ancestor in front of her?

Could it be that He was serious? But if that was the case, wouldn't it mean that Yog was going to declare war on Nyarlathotep and bring Nyarlathotep under its rule? Wouldn't that mean that he was the traitor chosen by Yog's ancestors? !

What have I done to deserve the ancestor of Yug Star to come and invite me personally?

Nayako's thoughts were running as fast as a tornado, and streams of steam were coming out of her forehead along with her over-working brain, but she was still unaware of it.

Wait, if that's the case, if I surrender now, wouldn't that be equivalent to following the dragon?! If Yug Star rules the universe in the future, in a sense, I will be second to none...

I am the Governor and Queen of Planet Nyarlathotep——Lady Nyako?!

When Nayako thought of this, her eyes suddenly began to light up, and she couldn't help but shout in her heart, as if she had already seen the glory of her future, and she even couldn't wait.

As for what Yog would do after ruling Nyarlathotep and even the universe, what did that have to do with her? If she cared about such insignificant things, would she still be worthy of being a Nyarlathotep?

"Ancestor, do you need me to help you steal the defense map of Nyarlathotep? Although this is a bit difficult for me, a newcomer who just graduated from school and entered the society, don't worry, I will do this properly and live up to your expectations!" Nayako said confidently, patting his chest.

"And there's the United Planetary Protection Agency. I've disliked them for a long time! Those senior executives get high salaries, but do nothing all day long. They're simply salary thieves! The taxes we paid with great effort are actually used to support such a group of idlers. It's really enviable... Oh no, disgusting! How can there be peace in the universe with such a group of insects?!" When Nayako mentioned the United Planetary Protection Agency where she was about to join, she was immediately filled with indignation and said that she was ashamed to be in the company of that group of insects!

"There is only one sun in the sky, and there is only one sun in my heart - that is Yug! I firmly believe that this universe can only move towards true prosperity and peace under the rule of Yug. Under your great governance, we can achieve the lofty goal of universal harmony!" Nayako said excitedly.

"That's not necessary. In a sense, the war is over. You're just the lucky guy I chose to handle the spoils." Yog-Sothoth said as he looked at Nyako, the dramatic and noisy guy.

"Huh?" Nyako was confused by Yog-Sothoth's words. She tilted her head with a confused expression, as if she was really hallucinating.

"The war is over? That's not right, when did the war start?!" All the tentacles on Nayako's body were tangled together, forming huge question marks, as if asking questions to the world.

She even began to doubt whether the information she received at school was true, and whether it had been artificially screened, causing her to see one-sided news.

However, this time Yog-Sothoth did not answer Nyarko's question. He thought that this was the only information Nyarko needed to know and it was enough. As for the truth about the Cthulhu pantheon and the three pillars of gods, if she was still interested in it later, she could find it on her own.

Anyway, in essence, Nyarlathotep is just one of the thousands of tools selected by Yog-Sothoth to deal with the incarnations left behind by Nyarlathotep. Although her importance is slightly higher than other tools because of the cause and effect connection with Nyarlathotep, it is only slightly.

"Eat it." Yog-Sothoth fished a crimson figure out from under the sea and brought it to Nayako.

She was a beautiful and powerful woman wearing royal crimson clothes, luxuriously decorated with gems and jewels. At this moment, she was lying on the sea in a mess, staring at Yog-Sothoth with resentment and unwillingness with her crimson eyes.

"This is a human...right? Well...eating intelligent life is illegal." Nayako, who had just made a bold statement and was determined to be the guide, immediately backed down when she saw that she really had to do it herself, and said in a weak voice.

"The Queen in Red is one of Nyarlathotep's incarnations, not a human." Yog-Sothoth told Nyarrato the identity of the woman in red on the ground and waited for her action.

The Red Queen was captured by Yog-Sothoth on the road before he came to this world. Under normal circumstances, such an important incarnation with a well-known name among Nyarlathotep's countless incarnations would not be captured by Yog-Sothoth so easily.

But in this situation where Nyarlathotep is unable to take care of himself and all his incarnations have been disconnected and become independent, the difficulty for Yog-Sothoth to capture all the incarnations of Nyarlathotep, including the Red Queen, has dropped dramatically. They have been completely removed from the threat list and replaced by another list, which represents the list of available resources.

"Gu~" Nayako swallowed hard. The news that the woman collapsed in front of her was not a member of the universe's protected race did not bring her any comfort.

On the contrary, the identity of the woman in front of her changed from a possibly extraordinary human being to her great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. In short, she was the incarnation of the ancestor of the Nyarlathotep clan, the most ancient ancestor. This brought her even more pressure.

"I'm sorry, Ancestor. I will live well with your share." Nayako took a deep breath, crossed her tentacles in front of her chest, and apologized softly to the Queen in Red.

The Red Queen then turned her gaze to Nyako for the first time. Unlike the look she gave to Yog-Sothoth who had brought her to such a state, there was not much emotion in her gaze towards Nyako.

"I'm starting." With awe and nervousness, Nayako slowly walked towards the Queen in Red. She carefully extended her tentacles and gently placed them on the Queen in Red's body, starting the most special and memorable meal she could ever remember.

Nyako's tentacles were like soft vines, wrapping the Red Queen's entire being inside, as if performing a mysterious ritual. As the tentacles moved, the Red Queen's existence began to be transformed into Nyako's nutrients bit by bit.

However, the moment she started eating, Nayako was horrified to find that things were far stranger and more complicated than she had expected.

The energy absorbed from the Red Queen was so huge that it was hard for her to imagine. It was an energy so terrifying that it could not be compared to her even if the entire universe was recompressed and packed into her body.

Nayako felt her body expanding, as if it was about to tear her apart. She tried hard to control her tentacles, trying to absorb the energy steadily into her body, but the energy was too strong. She felt like she was standing at the center of a black hole, and could be swallowed and torn apart by the energy at any time.

However, Yog-Sothoth did not appear here specifically to test whether Nyako has the qualifications to bear this power. His purpose was very clear, which was to give benefits, so naturally he would not let Nyako have the possibility of failure.

A ray of silver light gently peeled off from Yog-Sothoth's body, like moonlight falling, and merged into Nyako's body, suppressing everything about the Red Queen and helping Nyako to completely transform the Red Queen into nourishment for her own growth.
