Chapter 1119: Blue Star
âWhoaâŠâ Bella gasped, admiring the view. Although it was creepy and eerie, the city looked magical. It was a city that could only be seen in a fairy tale.
âHow big is this city actually? If we humans travel from just one side to another, it will probably take days, right?â Melissa squinted her eyes. âNo. Just a single house alone is impossible to clean no matter how many servants you hire. Although the size is not like a continent, it is probably as big as ten royal capitals combinedâŠâ
Revon was watching them carefully because both Bella and Melissa were sitting on the edge of Cthulhuâs palm.
Christopher and Sonia were so terrified that they couldnât do anything but sit down in one place with their heads hung low. Neyeid couldnât help but ask, âWhat are you two doing? Youâre not feeling anxious?â
âIt will be a lie if we donât feel scared. But well⊠If we die, we die. Thereâs no helping it.â Melissa winked playfully. If they were going to die, there would be nothing they could do to stop it. So, why should they worry about it?
âIndeed. Iâd rather burn all this into my memory. I want to recreate this with my illusion and do something about it if I manage to survive.â
âIllusion? But you donât have any intention of growing your strength anymoreâŠâ Neyeid raised her eyebrows.
âAh.â Bella smiled embarrassedly. âI have never really told anyone about it, right? Well, itâs a dream I had buried because I was a noble daughter. But I wanted to become a bard, you know? Illusion and singing⊠Doesnât it sound romantic?â
ââŠâ They were speechless. They never realized Bella had such a dream hidden away this whole time. Although it was rare, they often heard her humming around, so she was definitely telling the truth about trying to become a bard.
Though, she probably wanted it so that she could sing the praises of Evelynâs adventure.
On the other hand, Vivian was staring at Nathan as if demanding an explanation. Evelyn was doing the same. This kind of alien wasnât something they should have awakened, let alone the city. However, it looked like Nathan was already aware of the city, and he didnât tell them about it.
Nathan smiled wryly before letting out a long sigh. âI give up. Fine, fine. I know this already, but who would have thought this big city would come to this world as wellâŠâ
âHmmâŠâ Vivian and Evelyn squinted their eyes as though they knew Nathan had another secret he hadnât told about.
âWhy do you two know me so well?â Nathan scratched the back of his head before raising his head. âIf itâs not too much to ask, may I know how I should address you, Great Old One?â
Cthulhu turned his head down and transmitted his voice into their minds. âYou may call me Cthulhu. I donât put hierarchy as my priority. Besides, this time, I am nothing but a messenger.â
âI see.â Nathan raised one finger. âDoes that mean the others are not here?â
ââŠâ Cthulhu fell silent for a moment before saying, âIt looks like you are already aware of them.â
âThe others?â Vivian and Evelynâs hearts skipped a beat. Just one was terrifying enough, and he was telling them there were more. At this rate, they would die from heart attacks before even going on their revenge.
âYes.â
âI see. They are not here. However, they are already awake, fighting against the singularity.â
â!!!â Nathan widened his eyes in shock. He didnât realize the Great Old Ones had been awakened. If he remembered correctly, he had read about Cthulhu being the key to their awakening. It was no wonder Cthulhu told him he had come as a messenger. âMessenger, huh? So, does that mean you wonât attack this world?â
âNo. At the same time, I wonât help humanity either, even if they go extinct due to the singularity. I will observe and watch the end of the universe.â
Nathanâs face turned grim. It looked like the situation on the alien world wasnât so optimistic either.
âI know you have a lot of questions in your mind, but you can save them for the time being. I will tell you what you want to know once we reach my abode.â
âI understand.â Nathan nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, Vivian and Evelyn felt relieved. If Nathan didnât say anything about Cthulhuâs words, it meant he wasnât lying. Cthulhu wouldnât harm humanity.
But what they didnât know was that Cthulhu gave another message, this time only to Nathanâs mind.
âHowever, I have finally figured out your identity, child of prophecy.â
âHmm?â Nathan squinted his eyes.
âYou are from the Blue Star.â
â!!!â Nathan widened his eyes in shock. In stories, he often read about how people from other planets mentioned Earth. They would call it the Blue Star, so the fact that Cthulhu mentioned the Blue Star made him realize Cthulhu had truly figured out about his reincarnation.
Nathan abruptly turned his head to the sides, only to be met with the confused faces of Vivian and Evelyn.
âDonât worry. It looks like you havenât talked about it with them. Although I donât know what kind of form that caused you to travel to this world, I know that your soul is not native to this planet.
âIn fact, we have spread our existence to other worlds due to the crisis. And itâs not just in a single form. Sometimes, we colonize the planets. Sometimes, we spread information about our existence.â
âSpreading information about their existenceâŠâ Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought. To his surprise, the theory that appeared in his mind was so ridiculous that he didnât know whether to believe it or not.
Nathan tried to reply in his mind like how he talked to Kun so that the other two wouldnât know about it. âDo you spread your existence through⊠stories?â
âLooks like you have figured it out.â
â!!!â Nathan widened his eyes in shock. He never thought about it. What if the aliens were real, and they spread their existence through that man who authored those books?
âYour world is quite unique. There are multiple legends about divine beings on par with us. Do you know the source of those legends?â
â!!!â Nathanâs body trembled as Cthulhu just dropped the second bomb.
âI can tell you about it later when weâre alone.â
