  Chapter 502 Invisible Objects

  In the dark valley, there is no light at all.

  The nighthawk's cry echoed throughout the valley, as if full of angry wailing. However, Duanmu Huai was unmoved at all, just holding the cane, and walked step by step along the road towards the top of Sentinel Ridge.

   At the same time, he was also thinking secretly in his heart.

   What Duanmu Huai will do next is not the same as that of ordinary player investigators. Ordinary player investigators will certainly not be without corresponding means when encountering such a thing. But they are also relying on external forces. For example, the three professors of the Mi University who exiled the descendants of the Outer God here used the spells in the "Necronomicon".

  However, the incantations in the Necronomicon certainly do not belong to the category of human use.

  Actually, for Duanmuhuai, the human beings in this world are quite sad.

   You must know that this world is not without gods, there are too many outer gods, old rulers, and star families. But only human beings, without any gods to protect them.

   You see, even deep divers can find Dagon and Cthulhu as their backing, but humans have nothing, which makes people speechless.

  So Duanmu Huai intends to change this situation, starting tonight.

  He wants to tell other gods that this world, and the human beings in this world, are covered by Lao Tzu!

  What Naiayugshab Nicholas Ketugyahasta, step aside for me!

  From this point of view, Duanmu Huai completely overturned the teachings of the emperor, and walked a completely different path from what the emperor thought.

  The emperor asked human beings not to believe in gods, but to rely on themselves, and not to believe that there are gods in the world.

   But this is useless!

  Objective reality will not be changed by subjective will, just like in this world, most people still uphold scientific values, the result? Seeing the evil god, he completely collapsed his three views and turned to the enemy.

  What is the reason? Isn’t it because there is no big tree behind human beings?

  Look at the world, where cultists can go and believe in the king in yellow, the mother of black goats.

  Deep divers can believe in Dagon and Cthulhu.

  There are people behind this group of bloodthirsty, twisted, dirty, and depraved bastards, but those decent, resolute investigators, who are born and died for human beings, have no one behind them. Does this make sense?

   Is it true that good people don’t live long, and evil people last thousands of years?

  Cultists can use profane spells to summon subspace monsters from the void and manipulate infinitely great evil forces. On the contrary, investigators can only get by with their own minds, weapons and dice.

  Is this reasonable?

  That's why Duanmuhuai couldn't understand the emperor the most. What's wrong with humans needing the protection of gods? As long as it is not a false **** but a real god, wouldn't it still work? how? If you insist on simply relying on the power of human beings, then you can roll as far as you can from the golden toilet. Anyway, according to your thinking, there are no more human beings than you, and no less than you. Even without you, humans can still find a way out, right?

  As a result, while protecting human beings, you asked them not to believe in themselves, which made human beings at a loss. Isn’t the final result obvious?

  If it weren’t for the establishment of an imperial state religion, the human empire would have completely collapsed eight hundred years ago.

  The most important thing is to stick to your own principles and positions.

   "As judges, what we have to do is to protect human beings and eliminate all existences that threaten human beings."

  Duanmuhuai whispered to himself while walking forward slowly. Every step he took was slow and firm on the ground. The cane in his hand collided with the stone, making a low impact sound.

   "Any existence that dares to threaten human beings will be reduced to ashes in the wrath of the court."

   Duanmuhuai raised his head, black flames emerged from his body, the cold wind howled, and violent gusts of wind blew past his eyes, as if the whole world was resisting his arrival.

  “There is no place for the weak-willed and the indecisive. Humanity survives only by firm action and conviction. There is no sacrifice too great to be acceptable, and no betrayal too small to be forgiven.”

   Duanmuhuai's voice was not loud, but it pierced through the wind that seemed to blow out from the forest, like the howling of an evil ghost, and echoed over the entire Sentinel Ridge.

"Humans are constantly sacrificing themselves. Sacrifice allows the blood of mankind to continue. One generation, one generation, and another generation. It is not a great ideal. Because sacrifice itself is greater than any ideal, but maybe everyone has a deep hope in their hearts: There may come a time when there will be a generation without sacrifice, a generation in which mankind will live forever in peace and tranquility."

  Duanmuhuai raised his head and stared at the dark clouds rolling in front of him, his expression didn't change at all, the raindrops pouring down like hail didn't change his actions.

   "Burn heretics, slay aliens, and clear demons. We are an indestructible shield before darkness strikes, a sharp blade forged in defiance of fate."

   Duanmuhuai's voice became louder and louder, even suppressing the howling wind and rainstorm.

   "Destroy all enemies of mankind and let their existence be completely destroyed!"

  Accompanied by these words, Duanmuhuai walked up to the top of Sentinel Ridge.

   "Boom, boom!!"

  Thunder rolled in the clouds, and what appeared in front of Duanmuhuai was a round strange stone pile on the top of the mountain. Several stones formed a huge circle, and the thunder roared down from the sky, directly hitting the center of this circular stone ring. Accompanied by the explosion of thunder and lightning, a low, rough, and extraordinary roar appeared.

  Although there was nothing in front of Duanmuhuai's eyes, he still felt that the disgusting aura from the subspace was gradually becoming stronger and becoming real.

   "You can't break my will! Despicable warp offal!"

  Duanmuhuai held the cane and roared loudly. At this moment, the aura of fear completely erupted from him. At the moment when the invisible power of fear erupted, even the world seemed to be afraid of it—the kind of fear that could destroy everything and burn everything completely, even nature could not stop it.

  For a while, the torrential rain seemed to stop, and the howling wind also disappeared. The invisible thing located in the circle of stone piles seemed to feel the pressure from Duanmuhuai, it let out a crazy and angry roar, and the next moment - Duanmuhuai only felt the world in front of him, as if it began to gradually change.

  There are countless worlds and countless times under his feet. It seems that the infinite universe among the stars has opened up its secrets for him at this moment. Duanmu Huai could feel his body being pulled and divided like cutting a sausage. At this moment, he was standing here, but not here. He is located in countless centers of countless times in countless worlds. It seems that in the vast and boundless universe, the existence that controls all the past, present and future is showing his own power to him.

  The kind of great and free power that passes through time, space and even all confinement.

However………

   "Everything has an end."

  Accompanied by Duanmuhuai's words, the cane he was holding tightly hit the ground heavily.

  At this moment, the black flames of the Fated Land erupted from it, swallowing countless fragments of the world in an instant.

   No matter how rich, powerful, beautiful, and terrifying the world is, it will be destroyed, it will be wiped out. No matter what kind of existence it is, no matter how great a **** it is, it cannot escape the fate of eventually becoming garbage in the astral world. Death, destruction, total annihilation, all things, without exception.

  Duanmuhuai clenched his cane tightly and gritted his teeth. He can feel that this is a contest from the heart and spirit. This is not a simple confrontation between investigators and evil gods, but a temptation between two gods. Yog-Sothoth revealed to him his own power, the great being that transcends all creation in the universe. If Duanmu Huai was another god, maybe he had already chosen to surrender and retreat at this moment.

   But...he is the **** of destruction.

  Any obstacle standing in front of mankind will be destroyed by him. Everything in this world is like this. No existence can escape such a fate, not even Azathoth. Maybe Duanmuhuai doesn't have such strength yet, but his determination is extremely firm, and his belief is extremely clear. Everything Yogsothoth showed him could not change Duanmuhuai's mind, so everything he showed would eventually die.

   Duanmu Huai is the representative of that moment.

   The destruction of all things, disappearance, total destruction.

   Even Yog-Sothoth cannot avoid this. It has seen the past, it has seen the present, and it has seen the future.

  So naturally, it also sees death, destruction and the end of everything.

   It cannot deny this.

  Then this is what Duanmuhuai wants to insist on.

  Destruction is inevitable, so where the flames of destruction will flock, you need to consider.

  “………”

  The next moment, everything returned to normal.

   Duanmu Huai shook his body, opened his eyes and looked forward. The fragments of time that swept over his body like a tornado before had disappeared. The top of Sentinel Ridge has begun to become peaceful, and the rainstorm has gradually subsided. Only in the center of the stone circle, the evil, filthy aura of subspace creatures still has not retreated.

  Under the coercion of the fear aura, Duanmu Huai could feel it struggling, trying to break free from this terrible bondage. But it couldn't do it, its strength began to gradually drain away, and its originally angry soul, full of hatred and anger, gradually began to weaken at this moment.

   "Anyone who is an enemy of mankind can only be destroyed."

   Duanmuhuai walked slowly towards the center of the stone formation, looking at the empty land in front of him. Then he raised the cane in his hand high, and at this moment, pitch-black flames erupted from it, condensing to form a sharp blade of flame.

   Afterwards, Duanmuhuai swung down vigorously towards the front.

   "Aww————————!"

A shrill, strange scream sounded suddenly, and the originally empty air split a huge hole with Duanmuhuai's sword, as if the world in front of Duanmuhuai was a picture scroll, and he violently Tore a crack in the picture scroll.

   Afterwards, the crack twisted and struggled in front of Duanmuhuai, and then gradually disappeared.

   At the same time, in front of Duanmu Huai, a system prompt popped up again.

  【Complete the special mission "The Source of Fear"】

  【Task Evaluation: Excellent】

[Even in the face of the existence that spans the universe, you still insisted on your true heart, and successfully completed the trial, once again let the world realize that the fear of destruction is the most primitive fear that comes from the heart of all living beings 】

  【Aura of Fear acquires a new trait - Fierce aura】

  【Fierce momentum: When the player charges and attacks, all hostile creatures within a radius of 50 meters of the player will lose 1D8 sanity if they look directly at the player】

  “…………”

  Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Duanmu Huai was completely speechless.
