I've spread the Heaven and Earth realms throughout the God-Slaying World.

A week later, the South China Sea returned to ruins.

The endless seawater, like a stampede of thousands of horses, poured in continuously, the surging waters creating a deafening roar.

Around the entrance to the Ruins of Return, there exists a terrifying force field, which is like an invisible behemoth, exuding a chilling aura.

Aside from seawater flowing into it, any other object that gets close will be mercilessly torn apart in an instant... Whether it is a solid boulder or a huge shipwreck, as long as it touches this terrifying force field, it will shatter into countless tiny fragments and dissipate into the vast seawater.

At this very moment, a ghost ship is lingering around the Ruins of Return.

"Cao Yuan, what are you doing?"

A question broke the silence.

"Reciting scriptures."

Cao Yuan slowly put down the prayer beads and said calmly, "My master said that every life has its own soul, and we may meet again in the cycle of reincarnation."

"Yeah……"

Qi Xiaoyu looked like she understood, then turned her gaze to Hai Lanlan.

"Hey, here you go."

She handed a pack of tissues to the other person.

Hai Lanlan huffed defiantly, "Hmph, you stupid human, I didn't cry!"

But she quickly took the tissue, turned away from the group, and avoided eye contact. Her slightly trembling shoulders seemed to betray her emotions.

A week ago, just as Lynn returned from the trench, Hai Yunyun invited him aside.

She slowly revealed the reason why she had come out.

Only one cloud whale exists in each era.

When the previous generation of cloud whale sensed that its lifespan was about to end, it would condense its essence into a new cloud whale.

This also explains why the Deep Ones were amazed that the Cloud Whale still had energy left during the battle. After all, the Cloud Whale should have been much weaker after losing its source.

.........

Everyone except Lynn was on deck watching the two cloud whales swim.

Inside the cabin at this very moment.

"There's no way I can tell you anything!"

The soul of the Deep One was firmly bound to the tiger bench formed from the black smoke of the [Human Emperor Banner].

Lynn pushed up his non-existent monocle.

He manipulated the [Human Emperor Banner], increasing its power once more, and the current instantly surged through the Deep One's soul.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa..."

A piercing scream echoed through the cabin, as if trying to break through the cramped space.

Lynn frowned as he looked at the Deep One struggling in pain, feeling a sense of helplessness.

As companions of the gods of the Konami clan, according to the rules of the Godslayer world, they are products of another universe and cannot be contained.

However, the Emperor's Banner also came from another dimension and should have been able to absorb his soul, but the Deep One was unusually stubborn, preferring to have his soul completely disappear rather than answer Lynn's questions.

"Ugh."

Lynn sighed softly; he certainly couldn't let the Deep Ones disappear.

"Fan Tong, how come your [Human Emperor Banner] is so inferior?"

With a crisp system notification sound, a crimson slime appeared in Lynn's mind.

Fan Tong retorted defiantly, "Who's inferior? This is the mighty Emperor's Banner, clearly..."

Lynn: "What is 'Mingming'?"

Fan Tong: "It's clearly a problem with the anchor point!"

Lynn: "Anchor point!?"

Fan Tong: "That's right, anchor points! The souls of the gods of the Khrushchev system, including their followers, all have anchor points, which means that [they] have imprinted their marks on their souls."

This is also why the Gods' Asylum couldn't accommodate anyone associated with Cthulhu.

Lynn: "...Idiot Anchor Point."

The electric shocks continued, and the deep diver's soul trembled in agony.

Wait a minute, Lynn seems to have discovered a blind spot!

"Commander, switch your title to [The Fool]."

As soon as Lynn gave the order, the system immediately notified: "Switch successful."

In an instant, Lynn's soul seemed to be shrouded in a gray mist.

【The Fool】: As the power of a god born from chaos and disorder, his soul possesses a powerful ability to disguise himself and can alter the perception of any living being to a certain extent.

At the same time, Horus's Eye between Lynn's brows opened again, its pale gold vertical pupil blending with the surrounding gray mist, appearing both sacred and eerie.

The power of illusion and the power of deception intertwine, making him seem like a mysterious being who controls everything!

“Hehehehehe…”

Lynn turned around with a sinister grin, his eerie laughter echoing in the air.

"Now that you have seen the great Lord of the Snail Annihilation, why not pay homage?"

His voice was full of majesty and oppression, as if he had truly transformed into the great Cthulhu.

The surrounding air seemed to freeze.

"My Lord!?"

The deep diver's expression gradually changed from pain.

Shock first appeared on its face, its wide eyes seeming to bulge out of their sockets.

Looking at Lynn, who exuded a sacred yet eerie aura, it was completely unable to comprehend this sudden change.

The Deep One's mind was in turmoil, unable to understand why this merman had undergone such a drastic change.

Doubts spread through the minds of the deep divers.

It tried to think about the reasons behind all of this and find the answers.

Its eyes were filled with confusion and uncertainty as it kept looking at Lynn, trying to find some clues from him.

"Could it be..."

But soon, the Deep One seemed to realize something, and the doubt in his eyes gradually faded.

"So that's how it is! I knew my Lord couldn't possibly have failed to convert those two merfolk! My Lord was setting up a grand scheme!"

A look of sudden realization dawned on the Deep One's face, as if everything had become clear.

Praise be to the Lord of the Snail Annihilation!

A fervent flame of faith reignited in its eyes.

"Bang bang!!"

Just then, there was a knock on the cabin door.

Lynn paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then put the [Human Emperor Banner] into the system space. After all, it wouldn't hurt to ask the Deep Ones for a while.

He gazed out of the cabin and muttered to himself.

"Has the time finally come?"

the other side.

"Let's go, old buddy."

Hai Yunyun patted lightly, and the previous generation of cloud whale nodded, its tail lifting up Lynn and the others.

Its massive body casts a huge shadow on the sea, and every whale's cry causes ripples to spread across the surrounding water.

Its cloud-like white body now appears somewhat dim, and the marks of time are particularly clear on it.

Then, the cloud whale carried Lynn and the others on its back, soaring upwards and rushing into the vast sky.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the clouds swept past me, as if the whole world was cheering for its feat.

The body of the previous generation of cloud whale shimmered faintly in the sunlight as it carried Lynn and the others upwards, as if trying to touch the unreachable sky.

However, the upward momentum did not last long.

The cloud whale seemed to know that its time was running out, and it began to plummet straight into the Ruins of Return.

"woo woo woo woo--!"

Its eyes revealed weariness and relief.

Whales fall into the sea, stars into the hollows.
