115: According to Cthulhu's records, Su Chen has gotten himself into big trouble!

Her voice even changed slightly:

"Big Guy... you... what kind of monster are you?! You ate the eternal ice core... and... and you're perfectly fine?!"

She came from a world where technology and cultivation civilization were highly advanced, and her empire had once discovered similar Eternal-level elemental cores!

At that time, a super expert in the empire who specialized in ice-element cultivation and whose strength far surpassed the Awakening Level, tried to refine an ice core much smaller than the one before them.

The result... he was instantly consumed by the out-of-control primordial cold energy, and both his soul and physical body were frozen into the most basic particle dust!

That expert's strength was hundreds, if not thousands, of times stronger than Su Chen's current strength!

But... but something that even that expert couldn't do... this Kraken... actually accomplished it as easily as eating an ordinary ice lump?!

This had completely exceeded Aria's comprehension!

Su Chen patted his belly, which was faintly emitting a faint blue cold aura, with a tentacle,

making a dull sound, seemingly very satisfied with this "extra meal".

Then,

his huge eyes turned to the High Priest, who was still in a state of extreme shock and bewilderment, and his voice boomed:

"This eternal ice core tastes decent. This King is very satisfied."

"From today onwards, your Iceborn Clan will officially become a vassal race under me, Su Chen. Work hard, and I will not treat you unfairly."

The overall strength of the Iceborn Clan was indeed quite good, especially Bearman King E'nuke.

His Awakening Level strength firmly held the second position on the current Blue Star (the first, of course, being Su Chen himself).

With their addition,

dealing with the impending main invasion of the Shadow Scale Clan would undoubtedly add a powerful boost.

Most importantly,

he had already eaten their eternal ice core, so he had to spare their lives, right? Hearing Su Chen finally agree to accept them, the High Priest suddenly awoke from his petrified state, his face instantly overwhelmed with ecstasy!

He immediately prostrated himself in the most pious manner, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Thank you, Lord Kraken, for your grace!!! My Iceborn Clan is willing to die for you from now on! To become the sharpest spear and the strongest shield in your hands! Even if it means going through mountains of blades and seas of fire, we will not flinch from a myriad deaths!"

Just then,

Aria, who had been carefully observing the ice altar, suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

Her sharp spider legs gently moved, coming to the spot beneath where the eternal ice core had originally rested on the altar.

There was a thick layer of ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, and beneath the ice, some extremely ancient and mysterious symbols and characters seemed to be inscribed.

"Big Guy! Come quickly! There seems to be something carved down here!"

Aria's voice carried a hint of urgency, as if she had discovered a major secret.

When her spider legs carefully scraped away the clearest layer of ice on the surface and she saw the records written in ancient divine script beneath, her face suddenly changed drastically!

"This is... a record of Cthulhu's seal?! Big Guy! Come quickly!!!"

When Su Chen heard the three words "Cthulhu," his massive body trembled violently, and all his tentacles instantly tensed up!

He immediately moved over, his huge compound eyes staring intently at the carvings beneath the ice.

He had personally experienced the terror of Cthulhu!

Only a right leg was sealed beneath Mount Fuji, yet the unconscious whispers and pollution it emitted almost doomed him and Aria to eternal damnation!

Beneath the ice layer, which had been suppressed by the eternal ice core for countless millennia, ancient inscriptions slowly appeared:

(The inscription was written in a tone full of sorrow and determination)

"I am Ezil, the Ice Prison Sovereign, wielder of the laws of ice... (subsequent titles are slightly blurred due to the erosion of time)"

"The Outer God, 'Sleeping God' Cthulhu, descended upon this 'Graveyard of Ten Thousand Realms' with endless chaos and madness... I, along with 'Sun King' Adon, 'Star Weaver' Malygos... and a total of seven deities, burned our divine blood and shattered our laws to finally defeat its immortal demonic body..."

"However, this fiend is almost immortal... We could only dismember its demonic body and seal it in six different locations across this realm."

"However... Cthulhu, though defeated, is not dead... Its will still lurks in the darkness, its whispers never ceasing... It waits, waits for the spiritual energy of the 'Graveyard of Ten Thousand Realms' to revive again, when the plane barrier is at its weakest... It will return, tear apart all seals, and unleash madness and chaos upon all things..."

"I leave this 'eternal ice core'... not for power, but for a glimmer of hope... This core contains my primordial Ice Prison divine power, which might... at the final moment, provide a slight... insignificant... chance of survival... for the tiny beings of later generations in this realm..."

The inscriptions gradually became blurry at this point, eventually disappearing completely.

After reading the entire text,

Su Chen and Aria looked at each other, falling into a long silence.

After a while, a deathly silence enveloped the cold altar.

Su Chen's huge compound eyes stared intently at the gradually dimming ancient inscriptions, a heavy pressure like an iceberg weighing on his heart.

He slowly, almost syllable by syllable, whispered:

"I... I seem to have... caused a great disaster..."

According to these ancient records, that eternal ice core was not a simple heaven and earth treasure at all,

but rather the only hope left by the Deity named "Ice Prison Sovereign" for the future beings of this so-called "Graveyard of Ten Thousand Realms" to fight against the Outer God Cthulhu!

And now... this only hope... he had chewed it up and swallowed it! "Let me see if I can still spit it out!"

Su Chen immediately panicked,

and quickly shoved several tentacles into his abyssal maw, rummaging frantically, trying to dig out the ice core that had already gone down his throat.

However,

something chewed into tiny pieces had long since transformed into pure energy and was temporarily stored by the system. How could it be dug out?

Only a helpless gurgling sound remained.

"B-Big Guy,"

Aria bit her red lip, her face terrifyingly pale.

"If what's written here is true... then the terrifying right leg we saw in the Mount Fuji seal earlier... is probably just a part of Cthulhu that was dismembered and sealed..."

Her voice carried an almost imperceptible tremor:

"There are also the left leg, both arms, the torso... and the most terrifying head... sealed in six other places on Blue Star! And Cthulhu... will attempt to tear apart all seals when spiritual energy revives and the plane barrier is weak..."

At this point,

Aria suddenly looked up, her dark purple pupils contracting sharply as she looked at Su Chen:

"Isn't now... precisely the time when spiritual energy is beginning its full revival?!"

"Holy crap!!!"

Su Chen felt his tentacles grow cold.

"Then aren't we screwed?! What do we do?!"

Damn it!

Who knew that this damn place, Blue Star, had a super time bomb buried beneath it that could destroy the world?!

No, wait!

In his previous life, until human civilization was completely annihilated, he never heard of any Cthulhu breaking free from its seal?
