chapter 29
29 – The Sleeper at R’lyeh (6)
“Are you… Cthulhu?”
-Uh, what should I do, what should I do… He’s a real Hyeonseong.
The legs of the octopus protruding from the gap in the torn dimension restrained my body.
It was tied so tightly that it was difficult to breathe.
“Cthulhu. Please sort out this situation right now. No matter how resurrected it is, this isn’t it.”
-What, what are you talking about…?
“The Deep Ones and the monsters from Dreamland are messing with my country right now.”
When she asked what the problem was, I answered with a little anger.
Ktuga also ended up in one city, not trying to destroy an entire country.
And even if Ktuga had her own misunderstanding, isn’t this just doing this for no reason?
-Ah…Now, what is this situation? Mi, I’m sorry, but I can’t do this either…
“What are you talking about?”
-This, this isn’t what I’m doing right now… It’s the work of a girl named ‘Dagon’.
“What else is Dagon?”
A strange name that popped out of nowhere.
Looking at his unique naming sense, it seemed that he was an unreasonable kind of being.
-Uh…I’m from the same sea…I’m a little bit crazy. My, as soon as I resurrected, it was a party and I did this…
“What is that. What is the act of massacre by the Cthulhu Star Spawns?”
-No, I stopped them, but they ran out on their own and started doing this… Because they’ve been stuck in Le, Le Rue for a long time…
Feeling my head was pounding, I tried to touch my forehead, but I couldn’t because my body was tightly tied.
“Can you convince me to stop that guy named ‘Dagon’?”
-The only way to stop him is to kill him…
Why are all the gods so extreme?
There is no middle ground.
-Uh, anyway, I’m leaving soon, so I’m waiting… Huh?
Chack!
It was then.
A sudden gust of wind slashed Cthulhu’s strong tentacles in one fell swoop.
A tentacle that instantly restrained me as a Constellation-class, and subdued it with a simple swing of the Star Spawn.
The octopus legs were cut and thrown into the air like seasonal raw fish.
-An annoying saboteur is here.
At the same time, the voice that felt strangely weak suddenly changed to a voice so heavy that I was terrified of hearing it at once.
“What is it?”
I was taken aback by the sudden situation and turned my head to look in the direction the wind blew.
“…”
There, something dressed in a yellow robe boasts a dignified figure…
“Keugh, f*ck!”
Feeling that my SAN readings were being reduced in an instant, I quickly closed my eyes.
It’s fortunate that I’ve grown to the point where I can last for about 3 seconds even when I look at my true self through training, otherwise I would have gone crazy right away.
“What is that…!”
Something wearing a shabby yellow robe.
The face was not visible because of the shadow cast by the robe.
-That guy’s name is Hastur. The pronunciation system of names is similar to that of humans, so be careful when you speak.
Cthulhu, who had lost the habit of stuttering at once, began to speak in an annoyed voice.
-I’m a b*tch who hates me when she sees me. I’m going to kill you soon
“Sister.”
At that time, a beautiful voice came from the direction where the yellow robe was standing.
But if there was a difference from Cthulhu, it was that it had the dignity of a female knight on the battlefield.
“Why do you want to break the seal and throw the universe into chaos?”
-I just wanted to meet Hyunseong. Don’t give me weird reasons.
“I don’t understand why you did it because you fell for a little thing like a human.”
Rob’s voice was weak as if he was pathetic.
-I’ll go first because of the intruder, Hyeon Seong-ah.
Actually, Cthulhu ignored the robe’s words and spoke while stroking my head with his remaining tentacles.
-Oh, and Hastur. I’m telling you in case you don’t know.
As the tentacle disappeared through the dimensional rift, it left behind a final voice.
-If Hyeonseong touches you, I will kill you.
Slowly.
The tentacle disappeared beyond the dimensional gate, leaving behind its last words.
“…That’s annoying.”
Shook.
From the direction of Rob’s voice, I heard the wind rustle.
When he turned his head, the robe was gone.
“Whoa.”
After seeing that, I turned off the ‘Avatar’ and returned to my original form.
It’s good that Iris was evacuated.
If it wasn’t for that, she would have gone mad by now.
“It’s okay to come out now.”
“Oh, are you done?”
Iris, who had been hiding in the alley, came out hesitantly.
Since the sound I heard was unusual, I must have naturally become nervous.
“But why is there blood on it?”
“Oh… Actually.”
I averted my gaze and looked across the alley.
In that place, several heads of Deep Ones were sashimi and scattered on the floor.
“The support was…Very…Helpful.”
“…Ah, yes.”
I gave all the support I could, but I didn’t expect it to become this strong.
I thought that the C-level level would rise to the A-level in one fell swoop.
This is why full support is so important.
The fox in the backroom is a naive little bastard to cut off this kind of support just because it failed once.
“Let’s go quickly.”
I can’t help it since Cthulhu said he couldn’t handle the situation.
The only way I can quickly get rid of all the Deep Ones and monsters.
And after that, I just let go.
It is true that the gods take care of things between gods.
Whether it was Cthulhu fighting Hastur or Bobby enough to set fire to Gai’s forest, I was told that it was not my part to intervene.
I don’t even have the strength to intervene in the first place.
‘Nyarlathotep will do something for you.’
She says again, but what she asked me to do was to deal with the aftermath.
If you look at this differently, it meant that if you deal with the aftermath, you will solve the aftermath yourself.
So I was told that I could just do my job.
The only thing I’m concerned about is…
‘Cthulhu Star Spawn.’
To be honest, Deep One and these guys are a big threat to ordinary heroes, but to me they were just a little annoying.
But Cthulhu Star Spawn is different.
Each one has power equal to mine.
It’s a strong enough enemy that you need to use a chaos avatar to hunt it down with certainty.
-Three out of five.
In addition, according to the Star Spawn I met earlier, the total number of objects is five.
Even if you use an avatar, the limit on the number of people you can deal with at once is 2.
If we get together and spread the teapot, no matter how much I am, I won’t be able to stand it.
I came out with the feeling of Gwan-woo to return before the tea cools down, but I didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this.
I need to use my head.
‘Individually defeated.’
The only way I can win against them is, of course, individual defeats.
If you can’t deal with more than 2 people, just don’t let them gather more.
‘How?’
The problem is the method.
Your opponent is not an idiot. I know that if we unite, we win, but there is no reason not to unite.
‘Cthulhu.’
Then we should make it impossible for them to unite.
Using the power of Cthulhu.
Cthulhu didn’t like the rampage of star spawns.
Precisely, I didn’t like the fact that I could be harmed.
So if you use that part…How can you turn the situation around?
Maybe the situation could be over without a fight.
“There are no children who beat their parents.”
Isn’t it changed?
No. Children can never beat their parents.
First of all, a Cthulhu star spawn can never beat its mother.
It’s a fact that you can tell just by looking at how lightly you were toyed with by tentacles.
‘Let’s go.’
I moved with Iris to deal with the Deep Ones first.
First of all, you have to run amok until the Cthulhu star spawn pops out.

“Cheuk, kuh…”
“Are you awake?”
Resurrected from her death, Lee Seol-ah let out her dry cough and looked at a woman standing in front of her.
Blonde hair that goes down to her wing bones, and a nun’s outfit reminiscent of the Middle Ages.
And she even has an explosive body that doesn’t match him at all.
There are few people who do not know what it looks like, even if you look around Korea…Or even the whole world.
‘Saint.’
A healer with the best recovery ability in mankind, who can bring the dead back to life.
What’s even more surprising is that there is no limit to her ability to resurrect.
Of course, the cost is limited, so the number of people that can be revived per day is limited, but even that was enough to make Korea a great power.
An army of immortal heroes. Who can stand it?
“Damn, is he dead…”
Lee Seol-ah, who grabbed her head, gritted her teeth and muttered.
She occupies the highest rank among the S-class, and she died easily.
“What the hell is that guy?”
“We are also looking into it. I don’t know if it makes sense, but…”
A monster that sliced up one S-class person and dozens of A-class people at once.
To catch such a monster, normal power was not enough.
“We are currently sending aid to the US. The US has promised to help, so things will get better to some extent.”
The presence of a saint.
Since there is an out-of-standard healer called a saint, other countries can send their main forces like S-class with peace of mind.
In addition, ‘We sent major forces to your country~.’ How nice it is to be able to claim a big reward while arrogantly.
“Now I can fix it somehow…”
“Rain, it’s an emergency!”
Kim Seon-young, the captain of Unit 1, made up of A-class heroes, hurriedly opened the door and came in.
“Bo, all the beings who call themselves Cthulhu Star Spawn, five of them have appeared!! The 4th and 7th units have already been annihilated…!!”
“…!”
The saintess’ eyes were stained with bewilderment.
