Main God Creation Rules

But in the next second, all these beautiful thoughts were extinguished by the metal.

Behind the keyhole-shaped door appeared neither an angel with outstretched wings nor a god with a halo above his head, but tentacles, twisted tentacles.

Let my fingers touch it. My Father God. Let me become the embodiment of the essence of our Father God...

The inorganic voice was unclear whether it was a prayer or a curse, but the tentacles that surged from the "Silver Gate" still blocked Lin Yi's way, forcibly supporting the white bone tower, which should have fallen, at a tilted arc.

That's not the point...

[Having traversed the slumber of the roses, I am now about to reach the final gate!]

At one point, the mass surging from the "Silver Gate" reached its limit, even exceeding the height limit of the Bone Tower itself. It stretched straight from behind Lin Yi at the end to near the base of the tower, sweeping up the tongue-severing giant that was trying to resist.

【Qliphoth Rhizome!!】

"—Snap!"

crumb.

"Ah... Master? Lord? Holy Spirit? Savior? How should I address you?"

The wriggling tentacles slowly retracted into the inner side of the "Silver Gate," shrinking from large to small and returning to the narrow keyhole on the girl's forehead. The heroic spirit named "Abigail Williams" was officially summoned to this alien world.

Unlike the girl in my memory who sought redemption, Abigail, now appearing as a heroic spirit, is clearly vastly different. This is evident not only in her long hair, which has turned from golden to silver-white, but also in the hat symbolizing her identity as a "witch," the strange attire she wears after being corrupted, and most importantly, in her inner world...

If Abigail Williams was once a pure believer yearning for salvation in countless cycles, then the one summoned now as a heroic spirit is a "witch" whose faith has been denied, whose hope has been destroyed, and whose body and soul have been corrupted—almost everything about her has been corrupted.

The power of the "Outer Gods" is continuous. Even if the information left by Yog Sothoth is erased, the "traces" it left on Abigail cannot be completely eliminated. This can be seen from the fact that she still retains her memories of her past contact with Lin Yi.

However, it's not all bad. At least compared to her previous form in Salem, where she had almost completely become a medium for the evil god, Abigail is now able to regain her sanity—although the lingering mental pollution still affects her constantly.

Lin Yi glanced at the keyhole on her forehead and said calmly, "Just call me 'Investigator'."

P.S.: Fourth update. I have an interview tomorrow... I'll try to update as much as possible.

The Great Old Ones: Chapter 931 Saya's Song (6)

Starting with the collapse of Tokyo Tower, the entire alien world seems to have undergone some unknown change, for example...

"Master, Master, why can't we see these people?"

Joan of Arc, filled with doubt, observed the crowd around her: "That terrible tower has clearly collapsed, yet they haven't reacted."

According to normal understanding, let alone a landmark building, even a billboard that suddenly falls down on the roadside would inevitably attract attention—just like the essence of a "broken record," humans also have the special trait of "loving to join in the fun." However, during the entire collapse of the "Tokyo Tower," no one paid any attention to it at all. Instead, they continued to maintain their "daily life" as if they were unaware of anything.

If the "Tokyo Tower" were still standing there, it wouldn't be surprising. The problem is that the tower is still lying there, obediently collapsed...

Compared to Lin Yi's answer, the "heroic spirit" that had just been summoned answered Joan of Arc's doubts from her childhood much faster.

"They all saw it~"

"Oh—I forgot to introduce myself to the new friend. My name is Jeanne Alter Santa Lily. Nice to meet you!"

Abigail, who had just been summoned, seemed somewhat unaccustomed to Joan of Arc's solemn self-introduction, and even the eerie smile on her face became somewhat distorted.

“...Abigail Williams”.

"From now on, I'll call you Abby. In exchange, you can call me Jeanne d'Arc Lily!"

After confirming their terms of address with an unquestionable tone, Joan of Arc, still in a state of innocent curiosity, continued to press for the reason.

Unlike her demeanor when facing Lin Yi, Abigail was clearly unable to adapt to Reimu's overly familiar personality, and her words lost their previous composure and teasing tone.

Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to the communication between the two heroic spirits who were close in psychological and physiological age. After the "Tongue-Cutting Giant" disappeared, his attention was mainly focused on the yellowed papers found on the base of the collapsed Bone Tower.

—Heavy clouds obscure the sky, the rivers and lakes are gloomy, and the fish swim aimlessly. Suddenly, they see a glimmer of light on the water and feel a movement of food, as if blessed by heaven. They rush to catch it, but the fish perish on the hook. The same is true for those who pursue the Way. For those who see carvings and embellishments, their eyes are more easily wounded; those who hear symphonies, their ears are more easily wounded; and those who think profoundly, their hearts are more easily wounded.

You have obtained a fragment of the "Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Monarch's Secret Scripture" (Part Four).

What followed was a series of ability enhancements, but Lin Yi just listened and didn't think much of it.

Starting from Salem, these withered leaves seem to appear every now and then, some from corrupted heroic spirits, others from the evil god Yog-Sothoth, and now they've been found in a tower of bones after entering Outland... Throughout this process, it seems like someone is suspiciously guiding this outcome.

He frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then made a decision.

"tonight……"

Glancing at the sky above, the sky, completely covered by the "blood membrane," had no sun, moon, or stars, and naturally, no cycle of day and night. But from the perspective of a normal person with their left eye, it was already evening.

He paused slightly before saying, "Let's rest here tonight."

Previously, Joan of Arc might have been disappointed, since this world was the "outside world" she had longed for. However, after experiencing the "tongue-cutting giant" and the strange phenomena of the tower, she gradually realized the extraordinary things beneath the ordinary scene and readily agreed.

As for Abigail, it's even simpler.

"Investigator, do you need to take a break?"

As she spoke, the witch looked at Lin Yi's right eye with a spying gaze—as a remnant of "Yog-Sothoth," Abigail, who was connected to the "Silver Gate," was probably the most adapted to the Outer Realm. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to release her Noble Phantasm in its complete state when she was first summoned, and the power of the Noble Phantasm was even greatly enhanced.

The knowledge left behind by Yog Sothoth gave Abigail a lot of "realistic" knowledge about this outer world. The scene she was seeing was so "normal". Combined with the "tongue-cutting giant" she had just encountered and Lin Yi's actions, she could roughly figure something out.

Glancing at the 44/80 sanity bar, Lin Yi remained noncommittal: "Not needed for now."

……

Awakening from a deep nightmare, Niozaka Ikuki was still shaken.

After turning on the dim lights, a distorted yet familiar scene came into view—although he still couldn't get used to it, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, at least it meant he was still in a familiar place, waiting for the familiar "people" to return...

His name was Niozaka Ikuki, an ordinary medical student, but that's all in the past now.

Two months ago, Ikuki Niosaka was involved in a serious traffic accident, but fortunately he survived. After undergoing neurosurgery, he successfully regained consciousness, but at the cost of a completely different world.

His senses were distorted—at least that's what Ikuki Niosaka himself thought.

Everything he saw was made of blood and flesh; people looked like moving chunks of meat; their speech was like the hoarse voices of monsters; and even ordinary food tasted disgusting.

Such a situation would be despairing for anyone, let alone Niosaka Ikuki, who had just been in a car accident. This familiar yet strangely crazy world was forcing him step by step toward destruction. Just when he was about to collapse, he was "saved"... Yes, "saved".

"Yu Ji, are you still awake?"

A girl's clear, innocent voice came from outside the door. In this world where everything was distorted, it was like a sweet spring in the desert, a ray of holy light cast from heaven into hell.

Upon hearing that voice, the lingering fear from the nightmare vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle expression as Saya said, "Come in, Saya, there's no one here."

With a slight click of the lock, the girl appeared before him.

She was a pure-looking girl wearing a white dress, with a smile on her face and two strands of hair spreading out like wings at the back of her head. She stood there abruptly in the middle of the room filled with twisted flesh and blood, making it dizzying.

"Yu Ji?"

The girl's voice roused Niosaka Ikuki from her almost lost state of mind. Noticing her lapse in composure, she quickly changed the subject: "Saya, it seems a little late today?"

Upon hearing this, the girl gave an apologetic smile: "Sorry, something just happened."

Niosaka Ikuki's heart tightened: "Have we been found out?"

"No... um~ don't worry, it's just that the pre-arranged things have started."

The Great Old Ones: Chapter 932 Saya's Song (7)

After a night of "rest," under Lin Yi's calm gaze, the value representing "rationality" rose back to 67/70.

Lin Yi was quite satisfied with the result. After all, he now had to bear not just twice the "mental pollution MAX" but three times the amount. As the number of summoned heroic spirits increased and the time was extended, it could continue to increase. However, considering that he hadn't even let this body "close its eyes" all night, it was not bad to have recovered to this extent.

After all, the best way for this human body to rest should be to close its eyes and sleep. The problem is that if Lin Yi closes its eyes, it means that the two summoned heroic spirits will have to face the "truth"... Considering the possible accidents that might happen after they go crazy, and the possibility that he might be attacked and summon new heroic spirits to kill them again—considering the cost-benefit ratio of these situations, Lin Yi finally chose this method.

Use the limited time to recover, and then make contact with the outer realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, relying solely on the 80 points of this human body... now it's 70 points. With this 70-point sanity cap, it's unknown when it will go insane.

In stark contrast to Lin Yi, the heroic spirits who clearly didn't need sleep got ample rest time, so much so that when Lin Yi woke Jeanne d'Arc Lily, she was still confused and asked if it was time for breakfast...

There is only one clue.

Including four fragments of the "Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Monarch's Secret Scripture," the subtle differences between the tongue-cutting giant and the blind giant, and the girl who appears to have been killed and devoured...

"But there's only one way to make contact."

If he had enough time, Lin Yi wouldn't mind slowly cultivating his resources in this world. Once he had the right "conditions," he could just flip the table like he did in Salem, but the current situation is that he can't hold on to his "reason" until then.

Pointing to the map on the ground—Lin Yi didn't just wait idly all night. He could use the Eye of Origin (Thousand-Mile Eye EX) to conduct a partial search of this alien world, although the cost was 10 points of his sanity cap.

The result of the observation was this "map" that encompasses almost every facility in "Tokyo". In the process of drawing this map, Lin Yi discovered four anomalies.

The first place was yesterday when I first encountered the place where the suspected group of children was swallowed up: a secluded and deserted alley.

The second place is underfoot, the area where the "Tokyo Tower" used to be, which has now become a site of ruins.

The third place is a park, which appears to be open to the public.

The fourth place is a hospital.

What's peculiar about them is that the "passersby" around them seem to actively avoid these areas, and the "anomalies" happening inside are ignored. For example, when they were fighting fiercely in the alley (Jeanne d'Arc Lily's area-of-effect anti-army Noble Phantasm), no one outside noticed it. Not to mention that the "Tokyo Tower" collapsed yesterday, but in the end, the "humans" of this world still have no concept of what happened inside, and instead intentionally or unintentionally avoid those places.

These four places seem unrelated in terms of location alone: ​​alleyway, tourist attraction, park, and hospital. However, by combining the first two, it is easy to notice a certain reality.

The "blind giant" and the "tongue-cutting giant" appear in these two places.

Aside from the alleyways and attractions we've already "touched," the nearest one is a park.

"A battle may be necessary, be prepared."

After leaving those words, Lin Yi led the two heroic spirits directly toward the third "singularity".

----------segmentation----------

The dim sunlight streaming through the window did not bring warmth, but rather a chilling cold.

Opening her eyes, Niosaka Ikuki unsurprisingly saw an empty room—ignoring the blood and flesh.

"Saya..."

Niosaka Ikuki knew he was abnormal, both in the world he saw after the car accident and in his abnormal desire for Saya. But compared to him, the girl he regarded as the only hope in this twisted world seemed even more abnormal.

Just as the world she sees is distorted, but she is the only one who is normal, the world seen by normal people is normal. So what does Saya look like to them?

"Snapped"

Pressing his cold cheeks, Niosaka Ikuki forced himself not to think about those things, and shifted his attention to last night.

Compared to the previous nights, Saya gave him a strange feeling last night. Not only was she more than three hours late—you know, in previous interactions, Saya's perception of time surpassed that of everyone Niosaka Ikuki knew, and she didn't even stay until the early hours of the morning before leaving...

"Could something have happened?"

Saya came to the hospital in search of the "father" she spoke of, which was the only information Niosaka Yuuki knew. However, as their interactions increased, he gradually forgot about this matter. But now, it seems that a different situation has arisen... In his heart, Niosaka Yuuki should have hoped that Saya would find her "father," after all, it would be too dangerous to let such a lovely girl wander alone in the city. But when the time actually came, another emotion welled up in Niosaka Yuuki's heart.

This emotion was so intense that Niosaka Ikuki was already struggling to contain it when he became aware of its existence.

"If Saya gets taken away..."

In this distorted world, that girl is his only salvation. If even his only salvation is taken away, then what is the point of his existence in this world?

The restless heart began to mutate, gradually twisting from the initial blessing into doubt, unease, suspicion, jealousy, and hatred...

Lost in her own world, Niosaka Ikuki didn't realize that today's hospital... no, it seems that for a long time now, no one other than Saya has ever been in the hospital.

……

Stepping into the park, I felt the same way I did in the alleyways.

Like two parallel lines that have been separated, the outer side is the area where "normal people" live, while the inner side is a place where certain dark things breed.

As a park, not only were there no tourists, but even the chirping of insects, a common feature of summer, was silent.

With this oppressive atmosphere, a slight tremor began to emanate from the ground beneath my feet.

Lin Yi raised his head and looked towards the end of the park street. What came into view was a horse: a burning horse, and on the horse was a person—a headless "person".

P.S.: I'm sorry, I've been spending a lot of time on interviews these past two days. I'll resume normal updates starting tomorrow.

P.S.: This volume will speed up the plot, and many people are not familiar with these details.

The Great Old Ones: Chapter 933 Saya's Song (8)

"One has no eyes (blind), one has no tongue (mute), and now it's even more straightforward, they don't even have heads (headless)."

I vaguely noticed the commonalities among these "humanoid creatures" appearing in different locations, but this was obviously meaningless in the face of the current situation.

Facing the headless knight "speeding" at nearly 170 miles per hour, Lin Yi did not hesitate to give way, handing the position to the two "young girls" behind him.

Of course, she wasn't actually a "teenager".
