Cthulhu Gonfalon

Sui Xiong had expected that the path for migration would be difficult but he didn’t know that it would be this difficult.

Using a line from a TV drama that was popular before he crossed through to the current world: it was simply startling by each step!

Not long ago, he came across a huge earthworm that could surround the entire world with its body. After fighting a long battle, he finally took measures that would harm himself but damage his enemy by threefold and force it to retreat. After that, he only rested for a few days and was far from full recovery. Then some amazing Kings of Abyss came after him.

This time, it was a huge mucus monster. It was few sizes bigger than the world that he was dragging.

“The h*ll! How do we fight?”

Looking at the squishy sticky bastard that wasn’t slow at all, who clamoured as it chased after him, he felt perplexed.

Fighting against a clump of mucus; how do I fight?

I reckon physical attack would be useless. Let’s try magic?

He shot a humungous ice spike that could be a mountain peak in the main dimension. After it hit the mucus monster, it shattered and transformed into freezing divine power, freezing one third of its body in ice.

The mucus monster was suddenly frozen on the spot. Even though it roared with anger, it couldn’t move an inch.

“Oh, it’s only a silver-like spearhead that is made of soldiering tin!” Sui Xiong laughed and couldn’t be bothered by the mucus monster. He continued to fly forward while he dragged the world behind him.

After a long while, the mucus monster finally melted all the ice and caught up to him.

Sui Xiong didn’t hesitate to shoot another ice spike at it and freeze it on the spot again.

“This stupid fella is not reliable!” In the thin air faraway, the sound of bone-clashing could be heard, and the so-called Skeleton King, the Master of the First Floor in the Abyss, sighed heavily.

“Although I didn’t expect it to be of any help… seeing how easy it was to find its weakness made me furious!” The silhouette of a huge ferocious dog appeared indistinctly. “It is totally useless!”

“Why… not… I’ll… go…” the resurrected cannibal ancient tree asked slowly, although it had yet to recover to its original strength.

After discussion among the Kings, they gave up the idea in the end.

Amongst the Kings of Abyss who had the strongest survival methods, Earthly Mad Dragon, King of Slime, and Primeval Ancient Wood could be considered top three, their rankings listed in no particular order. Even compared with the Flower of the Century or the Prison Guardian, they were slightly inferior. But under circumstances whereby Earthly Mad Dragon and King of Slime worked to no avail, expecting Primeval Ancient Wood to win was not realistic.

“Actually, it’s not a bad idea to let it go,” the huge skeleton told the petite human-figured king in private communication. “Let it go; the big flower and the strange vine would definitely go too. Combining all three of their powers, they could definitely defeat the jellyfish!”

“Unless it’s out of absolute necessity, it’s better that we Kings of Abyss not join forces to launch a siege,” The one who was addressed as Goddess of Fresh Blood sighed. “Was the lesson back then not profound enough?”

The huge skeleton was quiet for a very long time and finally let out a sigh.

Long ago, there was once a God that barged into the Abyss and encountered a siege teamed up by a few Kings of Abyss, who finally passed away. His body was thrown into the blood pool in the first floor of the Abyss, which was the general term of the Abyss world ruled by the Skeleton King. Later on, there was a huge fresh-blood slime born in the blood pool. After the slime passed away, there was another mucus monster that was almost immortal born from the remains, which became King of Slime, the Master of the 502nd Floor in the Abyss.

That made the King of Order rage with anger and throw a few spears from the positive realm to the Ring of the World. Every spear shot right onto the Kings of Abyss which partook in the siege. Every King of Abyss shot by the spear was suddenly stagnant and stood in their respective worlds until that very moment. Not only couldn’t they move an inch, they couldn’t even attack.

That was the energy of the utmost powerful God that was above the entire world, and was addressed as Master of Gods.

Its power was beyond imagination and unreasonably strong. It was so strong that none of the Kings of Abyss dared to fight against it.

Then, there was this incident where a God barged into the Abyss. However, the Kings of Abyss dared not joined forces to launch a siege, but attacked one after another instead. The King of Order never took action ever again. Maybe, from what He understood, if it was a one to one battle, no matter who won a victory or was defeated, it would be according to the rules. Hence, there was no need to keep watch.

Actually, the few of them like the Prison Guardian were all senior experts that were way stronger than other Kings of Abyss, but they were not willing to get involved because they were afraid the King of Order would intervene. The huge jellyfish-like God was not exactly very strong; if they were to take action, their possibility of winning was very high. But, the God could manage an Abyss world, and that unreasonable power made them very suspicious. They were also worried that the jellyfish might be directly under the King of Order, or a clone of the King of Order.

Provoking the King of Order was no joke!

In such situations where the top experts were not willing to take action and secondary experts dared not launch a siege, although Sui Xiong had been fighting tough fights along the way, he managed to go forward through the Abyss that had dangerous ambushes all over. He finally got closer to the surface of the Abyss.

But, there was a huge stumbling block before him.

The Master of the First Floor in the Abyss, one of the few most senior Kings of Abyss currently, was the Prison Guardian. It had the widest power coverage. It combined thousands of worlds together and made an humungous world that spanned before Sui Xiong to block his way.

“That’s not right! According to the map, there should be a few worlds’ worth of empty space!” Looking at the enormous world before him, Sui Xiong was puzzled as he was greeted with Chaotic Wind that blew into his face from inside the world.

“I only heard about Rice Kingdom’s bombers using the outdated map, only heard that Data Kingdom’s artillery used the wrong map, but I have never heard of anyone’s own brother giving them an outdated map!”

He bellowed and then calmed down. He looked carefully at the huge world before his eyes and intended to look for a path that could pass through it.

As I have already got here, it would cost too much to detour. I’d better figure a way to break through.

Looking at it carefully, he suddenly realized a problem. Although the world was huge, many places still seemed a little messy. Unlike a complete world, it looked more like many pieces of unrelated worlds that were scraped together by force.

Not only that, he could see that in many places, each life form and devil with entirely different attributes were killing each other. It was identical to the convention when the two worlds came into contact.

“Could it be… Someone who calculated my route while I’m on my journey, and combined all the worlds together to block off me beforehand?”

He creased his eyebrows and felt worried.

Although the journey was long, it hadn’t been too long. It was most likely only two to three years of human life. To be able to drag more than a hundred worlds together in such a short period of time and combine them into one big world; the power was simply beyond imagination!

He cancelled his plan to break through the world forcefully. To fight against an expert was simply complaining that one’s life was too long!

But… as the expert had purposefully made such a big world in a short time to block off the route, its intention to stop me was abundantly clear. Even if I detoured, I might not be able to escape, right?

He stopped and pondered.

At the border of the huge world, there was a huge skeleton waving both of his hands to drag together one world after another, like plasticine, regardless of its suitability of their attributes. It forcefully put them together into the huge world.

It suppressed the collision between each world with powerful strength and avoided the explosion if the worlds were of incompatible attributes. It finally combined all the worlds into a huge whole. As for the devils that were living in the worlds, it would be none of his business as to how they would fight and how vigorous the fight would be.

Devils fight from day to night anyway. Getting closer doesn’t it make it easier to fight.

Next to it, there was a huge eyeball that was bigger than its head, floating. There was constant creepy laugh heard from inside the eyeball. Every devil that heard the laughter would suddenly go crazy and attack the non-existent target around them until they finally died of exhaustion.

“Don’t laugh so creepily, it’s disgusting.”

“What you are doing is strange; it doesn’t make sense,” The eyeball said.

“It’s only an experiment,” The huge skeleton spoke calmly. “It was only a small experiment that is not worth bringing up.”

“What are you trying to probe?”

“I can’t tell you.” The Skeleton King was quiet for a while and then said, “If it was like what I have guessed, once you find out about the news, you will be in danger too.”

“Are you exaggerating?”

The Skeleton King remained silent and continued to work. He put worlds that commoners would think huge together, like clay, and made a tremendously huge world.

Not knowing how long had passed, it suddenly stopped and turned around to look at a direction.

“What is it?”

“My experiment; we will see the outcome very soon!” After a while, it hung its head low and sighed heavily.

“What happened again?” an old acquaintance that was hard to come by in the Abyss asked.

“An outcome that was predicted.” The Skeleton King stopped mixing worlds together but returned to the huge world that he put together and sat down.

Its humongous body squashed countless devils under. The dispersed strength made many devils stronger in that instance. Whizzing past, surrounding devils started killing each other.

“What is it?” The huge eyeballs dashed over and asked.

The Master of First Floor in Abyss shook its head and didn’t answer but slowly lied down. Very quickly, it was lying flat. The chaotic energy that was flowing in its bones gradually solidified and finally stopped completely.

It was one of the most ancient Kings of Abyss. It was lying down calmly and fell into an utter stagnate without any sense of vigor.

It died.

On the positive realm in the Ring of the World, there was a giant surrounded by silver rays that sat on the huge loop where the power or order was presented. He let loose of his sudden tight grip on his right hand calmly.

His expression still looked serious and cold; there was not one bit of difference.
