461: The hotbed of the moon

Watching Lin Qi Ye's shocked face, Chaos couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Yes, that's the expression - the taste of bewilderment, shock, incomprehension, and betrayal. This is simply the most perfect expression in the Universe.

Lin Qi Ye, do you like this surprise?"

The sinister laughter of Chaos echoed through the Mental Hospital of Gods, but Lin Qi Ye had no energy to listen to him.

"An Qingyu!" Lin Qi Ye was beyond anger at this point. A hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes, like a beggar waiting for alms in winter.

"What exactly is going on? Why are you with Cthulhu?"

Lin Qi Ye's voice trembled slightly. Even now, he couldn't believe what he was seeing was real.

An Qingyu pushed up his glasses. His voice was like a machine, devoid of any emotion.

"I'm sorry, my friend, because from the very beginning, I was a fragment of the Key of the Gate.

And before my Awakening, I had already begun to approach you based on instinct."

The cold voice was like sharp thorns, piercing Lin Qi Ye's heart. He simply couldn't accept that his former good friend had turned into an enemy.

He remembered how he had personally pulled him into the Night Watcher's team. Now, his shoulder-to-shoulder comrade was actually Cthulhu. Lin Qi Ye's thoughts were complex, and he was speechless.

"Haha, good, good, good, An Qingyu. I, Lin Qi Ye, am convinced. It's time for the two of us to settle this." Lin Qi Ye gritted his teeth, and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

It turned out he had bitten his tongue too hard, at some unknown point.

"Hehe, what a rare scene. Lin Qi Ye, thanks to you, I can enjoy such a perfect moment." Chaos chuckled, then continued, "As a reward for you, your former close friend will end your life."

After speaking, Chaos glanced at An Qingyu, intentionally or unintentionally.

An Qingyu still showed no expression, saying coldly, "Chaos, you don't need to test me. Since I am here, I have already stated my position."

"Hahaha, Key of the Gate, look at what you're saying. You are my closest ally. How could I doubt your position? I believe you will not disappoint Lord Azathoth." Chaos covered his bald face with a dark hand, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

Lin Qi Ye's eyes widened in anger, "Heh, you want to interfere with the Universe's will to assimilate Azathoth through my spiritual world? I won't give you that chance."

With that, Lin Qi Ye suddenly aimed the Star Blade in his hand at his own heart and thrust it forward.

Suddenly, the Star Blade seemed to be obstructed by some force.

Lin Qi Ye looked at his chest in surprise. A bubble shimmering with colorful light blocked his chest.

"An Qingyu! What exactly do you want to do?" Lin Qi Ye was somewhat hysterical. Then, he discovered with horror that he could no longer move.

"Lin Qi Ye, you are still useful. I must go through you to meet Lord Azathoth, to approach the truth, and to acquire knowledge." An Qingyu slowly walked in front of Lin Qi Ye. "However, for the sake of our acquaintance, I can answer one question."

"An Qingyu, are you pitying me?" Lin Qi Ye looked coldly at the bespectacled young man, his eyes full of hostility.

"What you think is your business, and I have not changed from beginning to end.

But I still need to remind you, you can't do anything at all right now." An Qingyu was blunt and confrontational.

After hearing this, Lin Qi Ye was like a deflated ball.

Yes, what could he do now? He couldn't even commit suicide. What was the difference between him and a useless person now?

Lin Qi Ye slumped powerlessly onto the chair. After a moment, he asked:

"Then let me die with understanding! What exactly is your plan? Even if you see Azathoth, you won't be able to fully Awaken him. After all, Cthulhu's true body has already been Sealed on the moon."

An Qingyu slowly raised his left hand, and a dreamlike bubble appeared in his palm.

Lin Qi Ye's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible.

Inside the bubble, there was a dazzling red.

On a barren plateau, corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed freely.

In the center of the plateau stood a mountain piled high with corpses.

This mountain of corpses caught Lin Qi Ye's attention. Even though it was just an illusion within the bubble, he could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from those corpses.

These were not ordinary corpses; they were very likely the corpses of Gods.

And at this moment, the corpses of those Gods were covered with worms of various colors, and countless deformed monsters crawled aimlessly across the plateau.

Clearly, these were all Cthulhu monsters.

Lin Qi Ye instinctively tensed up. Who had killed so many Gods?

And where did those Cthulhu monsters come from?

Lin Qi Ye looked up along the image and suddenly found a giant figure sitting at the very top of the mountain of corpses.

That figure was draped in a blood-colored cloak. Even though the cloak was tattered, it still exuded Killing Intent, making one shiver.

The face of the blood-colored figure was blurry, but his right hand held a golden sword.

As the captain of the Reserve Squad, Lin Qi Ye recognized the sword at a glance.

"That is... the top Divine Artifact of Takamagahara, Japan... the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi?

Takamagahara, how did it become like this?"

An Qingyu still spoke like a cold machine, "We already thought of a way to unseal it. The Japanese divine realm of Takamagahara is the breeding ground for the Blood Moon. The great Cthulhu, the great Lord Azathoth, will be unsealed and Reborn on this breeding ground."

Lin Qi Ye instantly understood, "You want to pull the moon back to Takamagahara?"

"Of course, among the many divine realms, the only creator god who worships the moon is Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto of Takamagahara.

We put in a lot of effort to corrupt him.

But the effort finally paid off. We successfully corrupted Takamagahara and transformed it into a breeding ground for the unsealing," An Qingyu said.

Lin Qi Ye stared blankly at the bubble, his heart filled with despair. It turned out that the Cthulhu had a plan long ago, and now they were not far from completing it.

"Alright, the question has been answered. Now, it's time for you to go."

A magical color flashed in An Qingyu's eyes, followed by one colorful bubble after another appearing from all directions.

Those bubbles converged towards Lin Qi Ye, and soon, Lin Qi Ye was completely swallowed by the bubbles.
