As mentioned before, Fangzheng did not need Valentine to help him investigate what the cultists were up to. In fact, he could almost guess what was going to happen. March, earthquakes, storms, and riots all over the world were all signs of the revival of Cthulhu.
When the stars returned, R'yleh would rise from the bottom of the sea, and the great Cthulhu would awaken.
In the original work, Cthulhu did not fully awaken. Strictly speaking, it was only a projection of Cthulhu that collided with it. It should have been fully awakened after a mysterious ritual, but because the ritual was interrupted, it reverted to its original appearance.
If this were to be described in terms of the main world, then it would be like a third-rate mage using summoning spells to summon the Demon King of Hell, but he was interrupted just as he started, causing the Demon King to be unable to come to the main plane to display his power.
It was not because of how powerful the heroes who destroyed the magic circle and defeated the summoner were.
Otherwise, how could Cthulhu be defeated by a fishing boat?
But this time was different.
Fangzheng did not intend to directly interfere with the projection like he did in the original work, because that would not solve the problem completely. The Great Old Ones had plenty of time. The return of the stars would happen again in hundreds or thousands of years. For Cthulhu, it was nothing more than a nap.
Therefore, what Fangzheng wanted to do this time was to make the ritual a success. After Cthulhu floated to the surface of the sea with R'yleh, he would have a seafood barbecue party!
My baby's barbecue, my baby's barbecue ….
Cthulhu was the most famous creature in the Cthulhu Mythos. As long as he fought it, he could find out how powerful the ancient gods and the Great Old Ones were in this world.
But before that, he still had to get rid of the people who were in his way.
"Master, there's a ship over there."
At that moment, Ryoko Asakura, who was standing at the bow of the ship, stretched out her hand and waved curiously. Following her movement, Fangzheng saw a sailboat drifting towards them in the distance. When Fangzheng saw this, he waved his hand and signaled his ship to move closer.
"Hey, what's up?"
Seeing Fangzheng and the others approaching, the crew members seemed a little nervous, but not especially so. After all, Nimf and Asakura Ryoko, who were standing on the deck at the moment, looked like the daughters of a wealthy family on a trip out to the sea. This yacht was specially chartered by Fangzheng, taking into account both speed and comfort. No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a wealthy merchant's yacht.
"I'm here to warn you that the weather ahead isn't very good. There might be a storm. It's best to turn around and leave."
Faced with the other party's question, Fangzheng smiled and said. Upon hearing his words, the first mate was taken aback. Then, he gazed at the distant sea.
The sky was clear and boundless, without a cloud in sight.
"The weather today is very good, isn't it?"
"Not good."
Fangzheng shook his head and made a gesture. Then, everyone saw the blue-haired girl standing behind Fangzheng gently wave her hand. Then, a black shadow flashed in front of the first mate with a "bang", startling everyone. When they looked closely, they saw that it was a suitcase. The first mate cautiously took two steps back, opened the suitcase — and immediately closed it.
"This is …"
"I said, the weather ahead isn't good. It's best to turn around."
Fangzheng stroked Nimf's little head and looked at the first mate with a smile. The first mate blinked, then picked up the suitcase and entered the cabin. After a while, he came out again — the suitcase in his hand was gone.
"I just asked the captain. Well, it's true. It seems that the weather over there isn't very good. Thank you for the reminder. We'll go back now."
After saying this, the first mate made a gesture to the other crew members. Although the crew members were puzzled, they still started to act according to the first mate's instructions. Soon, the yacht turned around and left.
"Is this really okay? Master? "
Nimf asked as she enjoyed Fangzheng's caress. Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"I've done my best, haven't I? If they still don't listen, that's another matter. "
After all, the entire suitcase of Franklins wasn't given for free.
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes as he watched the yacht leave. The reason why he intercepted the yacht here was because it was an indispensable character in the story. If Fangzheng didn't intercept it here, the Emma would have encountered the Cthulhu fanatics and destroyed their ship, destroying the entire Cthulhu summoning plan.
But Fangzheng didn't intend to do that. If the Emma still destroyed the ritual like in the story, it would be a disaster. So, he came to the Emma's route ahead of time and blocked their way.
As for the cultists, Nimf was in charge of investigating, so Fangzheng didn't have to worry too much.
"What's the situation now?"
"The cultists are approaching our destination. Master, should we depart now?"
"No, let's wait."
Fangzheng shook his head as he caressed Nimf's head.
"Let's wait until their summoning ritual is successful."
In the original novel, it was an accident that the Emma's crew landed on the island. The cultists were supposed to open the seal, but the Emma's crew got lost in the storm and accidentally barged into the sea. That was why the cultists sailed their ship to stop them. Of course, the Emma's crew wouldn't listen to their nonsense, so the cultists attacked the Emma's crew.
Up until now, it was considered a typical villain plot, but what happened next was much more ridiculous.
Because they lost!
That's right, the cultists aggressively tried to destroy the Emma's crew. In the end, even though they sank the Emma's ship, their own ship was stolen by the cultists and the cultists were all slaughtered. Motherf * cker, it's rare to see such a shameless villain.
It was precisely because these cultists looked like mentally unstable idiots that Fangzheng cared for them like a nanny and removed their obstacles. Right now, he could only hope that these idiots with mental retardation comparable to a four year old child could do their job as cultists …. All you need to do is obediently summon Cthulhu according to the ritual. Everything's in my hands! Please don't let anything go wrong!
With your IQ, I don't expect you to score a hundred marks, but you should at least score sixty marks!
I beg you, the evil god you worship is sealed here. For the sake of Cthulhu's spirit, please show me that you can complete the ritual!
Fangzheng never thought that he would one day have to beg the cultists to complete the ritual, and the reason was that these cultists were too weak and stupid …
Sigh, at the end of the day, the Cthulhu World's Evil God is a threat to this world because the humans of this world are too weak.
Fangzheng's way of thinking had completely gone down a slippery slope. After all, there was no way such a stupid cultist could survive in the main plane!
Could it be that Cthulhu was just exaggerating, and in reality, it wasn't even as strong as an Inferior Demon?
No … it shouldn't be … The Kin of the Star he roasted earlier was pretty decent.
Fangzheng could only console himself. After all, he did not know how strong Cthulhu was in the novel. The only battle record he had was being chased back by a mortal driving a fishing boat. Come to think of it …
I still feel very uneasy …
"Hualalala …"
Just as Fangzheng was feeling uneasy, the surface of the water began to tremble, and the yacht began to sway left and right under the waves. At this time, Valentine and Francis also hurried out of the cabin.
"What's going on? Mr. Van Helsing? "
"What's going on?"
The two of them had also gone out to sea with Fangzheng. Francis, needless to say, was very clear about these things. He had come here to witness it with his own eyes, while Valentine's pride as a detective was at stake. Although Fangzheng said he did not need him to come, Valentine still followed him.
After all, curiosity was also a characteristic of a detective.
"Huala —! Huala —! "
The waves were getting fiercer, and the yacht was shaking like a leaf in the wind. Except for Fangzheng, Asakura Ryoko and Nimf, the others could not help but grab onto the fixed objects around them. At the same time, the originally clear sky began to darken. Dark clouds spread rapidly from the other side of the sea at an almost unimaginable speed. In the blink of an eye, the entire sea was shrouded.
"We have to get out of here!"
Now the captain came out of the cabin with his pipe in his mouth, and cried aloud.
"Hey, did you hear that? We have to get out of here right now, the storm is coming!! "
"Rumble rumble rumble …"
As if to confirm the old captain's words, thunder roared, and bolts of lightning struck down from the dark clouds. At the same time, along with the wind, heavy rain poured down. The bean-sized raindrops hit them head-on, making it hard for them to open their eyes.
"Mr. Van Helsing!"
"Get out of here right now!!"
Valentine gave the order while holding onto the mast tightly. But at this moment, an unimaginable scene happened.
"Huala … Huala …!"
At this moment, the roaring sea began to shake violently. Then, everyone saw the sea in front of them gradually turn dark and deep, and then …
"Boom!!"
A huge city emerged from the sea.
"…"
Seeing this, whether it was Valentine, Francis, the old captain or the sailors, they were all dumbfounded. They did not know what to do for a moment.
"Rumble!!"
The torrential rain was getting heavier, so much so that it was impossible to see anything more than ten meters away. However, amidst the flashes of lightning, people could vaguely see a huge figure emerging above the city along with the radiance of the lightning. It was a terrifying figure that stood between heaven and earth. Although they could only see its shadow, the fear it brought was enough to suffocate them. There were even a few weak-willed sailors who fainted upon witnessing this scene.
"What, what's that! Hey, Fan Hai … "
Valentine's eyes widened. He instinctively looked at the deck, but to his surprise, Fangzheng, who should have been standing there, had disappeared. Only Nimf and Asakura Ryoko were still standing there.
Were they swept away by the waves? But why were they not nervous at all?
"Where's Mr. Van Helsing?!"
At this moment, Francis also reacted and hurriedly asked. Facing his question, Cang Liangzi smiled faintly.
"Please don't worry. Master will be back soon. You just need to stay away from this sea area and wait patiently."
At the same time, in the raging lightning, a black dragon was soaring. Below the dragon, the huge, terrifying city that looked like it was formed by a geometric combination that defied common sense was clamoring and exploding. Countless Deep Ones screamed and raised their hands. Their voices were lost in the rumbling storm, but Fangzheng did not even look at these monsters. He flew straight towards the huge figure in the distance.
Thank God, it seems that the real Cthulhu is still the same!
Looking at the huge figure in front of him, Fangzheng took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
"I am the lucid dreamer, the monster in your nightmares, the demon with a thousand faces. Tremble before my true form, surrender before the Wings of Death! "
Having said that, the black dragon spread its wings. Flames appeared on the edge of its wings, and it flapped hard.
"Seal!"
In the next moment, an earth-shattering blaze erupted and engulfed everything.
