Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

After parting ways with Medusa, the Nightfall team rode the Somersault Cloud back to Great Xia at full speed.

The atmosphere, which should have been relaxed, suddenly turned tense and tense after learning about the recent experiences of other special teams, as if facing a formidable enemy. Jiang Er didn't stick close to An Qingyu, but instead constantly sensed the surrounding magnetic field, remaining silent and vigilant.

Su Yan sat at the very back and, taking advantage of a break, wrote three words on a piece of paper: Cthulhu.

This trip to Atlantis was his first real encounter with the mysterious Cthulhu pantheon.

Sure enough, it was eerily unsettling.

Unlike other pantheons that engage in real, back-and-forth battles, they subtly and insidiously pollute people—their bodies, their minds, and even their cognition—in a way that is impossible to guard against.

"So this is the real Cthulhu. I was seriously misled by looking at it from Lin Qiye's perspective before."

He took a deep breath and continued writing the second line: Phorcus, Chaos.

After gazing at it for a moment, he carefully added another name: Asa... (crossed out)

As these three words appeared side by side on the paper, his thoughts gradually became clear, and he began to write rapidly:

"Phorcus was originally just an ordinary god. He was corrupted and became 'Cthulhu' after consuming the corpse of the 'Toad Ancestor'. But this can only be considered pseudo-Cthulhu. Even so, he can manipulate the entire divine realm on his own, and I almost fell for his tricks."

Su Yan still felt ashamed and incredulous when she thought about how she had once firmly believed that "men must get pregnant."

He paused slightly, then continued writing:

"But his alteration of [cognition] only stays on the surface. It can only bully the weak and is almost ineffective when facing gods. So when dealing with Chang'e, the fairy of the Great Xia, and the Dragon King, he could only rely on violence to seal the two gods."

"This kind of Cthulhu is not actually that strong. Violence is enough to defeat it. If a powerful immortal who is skilled in battle were to come, he would not be afraid of it at all."

A series of images flashed through my mind:

If Yang Jian and Nezha were to come, with their combined power of Heaven and Earth and three heads and six arms, they would definitely not be able to suppress Medusa with their ability to control her alone. Phorcys would have no choice but to take action himself.

His "half-step to supreme power," which is not part of his own laws, probably wouldn't be able to hold back the two Great Luo Golden Immortals. The result would likely be that he would be exposed prematurely and lose everything.

"Looking at it this way, it was actually because I wasn't strong enough. If I had already reached the God rank back then, this crisis wouldn't have existed at all."

Su Yan nodded slightly, turning his attention to the word "chaos," his expression suddenly becoming serious.

"The difficulty of advancing from 'Toad Ancestor' to 'Chaos,' one of the Three Pillar Gods, is on a completely different level. At that level, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would probably not be a concern for him. Only a Quasi-Saint like the Queen Mother of the West could make him wary, but that would only be wary. His inability to be killed, coupled with his cunning and cautious nature, would almost never put himself in real danger."

How do we kill chaos?

Su Yan wrote these seven characters heavily on the paper.

"If I inform the Celestial Venerable in advance and gather the power of the entire Heavenly Court, could I destroy him in one fell swoop... No, Chaos has already taken control of some of the mental hospital's access; the Celestial Venerable and the others simply cannot enter!"

"And before completely taking over the mental hospital, Chaos will never step out of there... Let me think, how did Lin Qiye deal with Chaos back then? It seems that he sacrificed a demon squad, then used the twelve ancestral gods as an array, and used the lives of the agents of the twelve Golden Immortals of Great Xia as the price, exchanging one for many to barely lock him up in the hospital, and even then he was not completely killed."

“This path is not suitable for me... It’s too tedious, and doing it this way would not only involve great sacrifices, but it would also be a disgrace to my master.”

“If we don’t rely on force to fight, then…” He paused, his pen poised.

"To counter the gods of the Kreece system, we should dismantle their underlying logic, rather than confronting them head-on."

An Qingyu's words suddenly flashed through Su Yan's mind, and his eyes sharpened, his heart churning like a tsunami.

"The underlying logic... Chaos excels at deception, so it must also possess the ability to distort perception. What exactly did it distort...? Right, why didn't Lin Qiye tell Baili Pangpang about the existence of the mental hospital in that timeline? If Pangpang had known earlier, the Heavenly Court would have realized 'Yeland' was an imposter, and the hospital might not have been taken over... No, as long as the people in the hospital are discharged one after another, Chaos will eventually be able to seize control..."

"Hospital...underlying logic...deception...anchor point...kill."

"I think... but I'm still missing a crucial anchor point... Let me think about it some more."

Su Yan remained silent, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards An Qingyu, who was sitting at the very front, only to meet her sidelong glance.

An Qingyu had been secretly observing him!

Su Yan's lips twitched: "How presumptuous of me... It's also a little creepy. Is he planning to stab me and send me to a higher dimension?"

In the midst of the confusion, the solemnity on Lin Qiye's face suddenly vanished, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying:

"We're finally back safe and sound. Headquarters was right, there really was an Outer God watching us. There was a faint divine sense locking onto the Somersault Cloud until we entered the Great Xia Sea."

“I felt it too,” Shen Qingzhu replied.

"The other party is clearly wary of something, which is why they haven't made a move... Hey, Su Yan, what are you writing?"

Su Yan subtly avoided Shen Qingzhu's gaze, a wisp of fire flickering at his fingertips, burning the paper to ashes, and casually waved his hand:

"It's nothing, just a prescription to clear heat. My yang energy is too strong and I need to release it occasionally. You people with yang deficiency don't need it." He paused, then smiled and pointed downwards, "As for what it's wary of... haven't you noticed yet? Look at what's there."

The people on the somersault cloud were all stunned, and at the same time they clung to the edge of the cloud and looked down.

Beneath the azure sea, a straight silver light closely followed the shadow of the clouds, its aura completely blending into the seawater, unnoticed by anyone before.

Upon seeing the somersault cloud enter the land, the silver light slowly came to a stop and quietly hovered in the sea.

"Hiss..." Lin Qiye gasped. If that thing had suddenly attacked from below, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Don't be nervous, they're not the enemy."

Su Yan smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the distance behind him:

"Thank you for escorting me all the way, Prince Ao. Farewell!"

"Ow—"

Silver light swirled in the sea, and a clear, melodious dragon's roar pierced the sky and echoed in the wind.
