Three days before the Queen’s birthday celebration, a video suddenly became popular on Starnet.

Initially, it appeared to be an aerial documentary, showing an erupting volcano. Thanks to the strategically chosen angle and high-definition footage, what would have been a devastating disaster in a peaceful region looked surprisingly beautiful from a distance. Many wealthy individuals, inspired by this footage, expressed their desire to visit a similar location, as if they had discovered a new dating destination.

But people soon discovered that the focus of the picture was not the eye-catching natural scenery.

The camera zoomed in, bringing to the center of the frame an indistinct "human" draped in a black robe. The figure, presumably a man, stood quietly on a rocky outcrop at the summit. Behind him billowed smoke and flames, facing the boundless ocean and the rising sun. His figure was colder, harder, and more solid than the stone beneath his feet, giving the illusion of timelessness.

Then he began to walk towards the sea level.

The scorching lava couldn't stop him, nor could the smoke and wind halt his progress. A shimmering, golden liquid flowed from his bony ankles like a carpet beneath a king's feet. And the man, like a lion strolling through his own territory, his movements were both natural and peaceful, neither seeming superior nor as humble as weeds, as if the world's many magnificent beauties were merely a dispensable backdrop to him.

He did not deliberately display arrogance, but nothing could enter his eyes.

Suddenly, the man looked up and found a camera patrolling ten thousand meters away that recorded this scene.

As daylight breaks, for a moment, one can clearly see his indifferent eyes meeting the audience outside the camera. The next second, the seawater rushes in, bubbling with white bubbles, swallowing the camera in the blink of an eye.

But that person's stunning glimpse was engraved into the hearts of everyone who saw this frame of the picture in this seemingly natural change of perspective.

I don’t know how many people have lost their appetite and sleep because of this video in which the protagonist doesn’t even show his face and only gives a mirage-like look.

——Humans confuse fear and longing.

In ancient times, those who gazed at the unknown starry sky by their campfires might have experienced similar heart-pounding moments. Whether it was an unexplained fear, the panic of facing a natural enemy with nowhere to escape, or perhaps the ambition to explore and conquer, or the ecstasy of being mesmerized by the magnificent starry sky... No one can say for sure.

But the instincts passed down from generation to generation in the bones and blood will not deceive us.

Many people thought it was a computer-generated image, likely a trailer for a game or fantasy movie. This theory initially dominated, and many people who were captivated by Azathoth's gaze declared their admiration for the setting and were ready to contribute to it. However, it wasn't long before the official announcement was made.

The federal government and the Vatican joined forces to delete the video and ban the speech. They were so hasty that it seemed as if they received the news while in the bathroom and ran to work without even having time to pull up their pants. For a moment, they didn't even bother to put on the familiar fig leaf. In just one hour, no related topics could be found on the Star Network.

However, the more panicked and confused they are, the more it shows that this video is of great significance.

Many netizens have privately expressed that even if the Chief Executive suddenly becomes involved in a scandal involving a child out of wedlock, the action he will take will not be any bigger than it is now.

So the question is, if this is a secret that cannot be discussed, who is the man in the video?

**

"I'm going to familiarize myself with the environment." Azathoth said as a matter of course.

Amidst the gazes of others, some puzzled and some speculating on conspiracy theories, he nonchalantly answered: "After all, we have to stay on this planet permanently."

Azathoth's thinking was simple. It was fine for him to live in other people's homes before, but now that he had bought a house, couldn't he go and see the surrounding environment? Although his "surroundings" were completely different from other people's "surroundings", to be honest, he didn't study the entire galaxy thoroughly in one breath, which was already giving face to the natives.

And once the idea of settling down came into being, the long-lost human way of thinking suddenly took over.

It's like if one day you moved to live next to a primitive tribe, you would at least say hello to the chief, right? Whether it's a strategic colonization or peaceful coexistence, you always have to explore the way first.

So when Azathoth discovered that a drone carrying a military camera was hovering in the sea area, he thought for a moment and still did not choose to avoid it immediately.

However, it was unexpected that the other party would upload this video to the Internet... Not everyone in the Federation is united.

When Garcia thought that the culprit who was hotly discussed on the Internet and the evil god who captured the hearts of thousands of boys and girls was living in his house, the doctor's hair fell down in clumps and was about to turn into a Mediterranean hairstyle.

What puzzled him was what on earth was it about Azathoth that attracted people?

He has never seen the other person's true face, but netizens haven't seen it either?

How come they were willing to give birth to monkeys for the evil god just based on a silhouette and a look?

Wake up!

That is the evil god whose true form is indescribable!

Even if there is no reproductive isolation, the offspring will definitely not be monkeys!

The doctor was deeply concerned about the future of the federal motherland.

"Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" He looked at Igor dejectedly, who was indifferent to eating and drinking well and relied on daily morning jogging to avoid gaining weight.

"Why am I in such a hurry?"

Wendy is found and the family is reunited.

As for his boyfriend… Igor wasn't worried about Azathoth at all. He was only worried about someone's overly inspired mindset becoming overwhelmed after watching the video. But since the federal officials were already out, it was no longer his responsibility. As a retired soldier, former Marshal Sullivan lacked the perceived loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and ambition to seize power.

Garcia was heartbroken and felt that he had been corrupted by the evil god's sugar-coated bullets.

"So many people say they fell in love with Him at first sight. Don't you feel bad?"

Normal people's imagination of God basically falls into two directions.

One is a flower on the top of a mountain with no desires or requests, and the other is an aggregated and amplified version of the human inferiority in Greek mythology, doing evil things at the pinnacle of power and status.

Azathoth and Igor did everything they should have done, but they were nothing like the former.

So it's no wonder Garcia's thoughts went astray... Right now, his only beloved is Igor, and his status has naturally risen. He's his indispensable right-hand man, or his divine lieutenant. But what if one day he suddenly realizes the differences between people and no longer focuses solely on those around him?

By then, can the illusory promises and grace really last?

Igor: “…”

If it were when he first met Azathoth, he would probably have similar concerns.

But now Igor just wants to find ways to alleviate the Lord God's social phobia. After all, staying at home every day is not good for the body. Moreover, recently the Lord Evil God has been stimulated by some unknown reason and has been committed to developing various ways to use his tentacles. As a result, Igor has a psychological shadow. When he sees them, his back aches and his spine becomes cold.

There was no way he could honestly tell Garcia this heartbreaking story; he probably wouldn't believe it. Igor could only silently glance at the doctor and sigh, "It doesn't matter what others think of Him."

Many things, when bottled up for too long, either become perverted or degenerate into complaints. Igor, who considered Garcia both a brother and a friend, hesitated for a moment before whispering, "What if you knew a friend had published a fan fiction based on you on a forum?"

Garcia didn't react at first: "What fan fiction? The cool novel Long Aotian? I'm quite happy about it?"

They stared at each other in silence for a moment, then Garcia suddenly realized, "The R18 kind?"

“…”

But who was the target? Would the evil god be happy if it was someone else?

After a moment of thought, Garcia saw that Igor was not very worried but just distressed, and he quickly realized that the other protagonist of the CP article was Azathoth.

So the question is, what kind of plot could make Igor have such an indescribable expression after seeing it?

The doctor went to read it with a fearless spirit.

A few hours later, he came out of the study with red eyes. When he saw Igor, two lines of tears flowed out.

Igor: “…”

This is too into the play.

Garcia barely controlled his emotions and choked up, "Igor, it's really not easy for you..."

I'm not, I don't.

Igor: "You know that's all fake, right?"

Garcia collapsed on the sofa, crying, "How could He do this to you? Wuwuwu, I don't think you can have a happy ending, but I never watch BE! When will the next chapter be updated? I want to eat some candy."

The protagonist of the fanfiction deadpanned, "Ask Hugo."

From then on, Garcia was completely captivated by the melodramatic article about the android man and even planned to recommend this amazing website to Wendy: "She's your sister! She deserves to know what happened!"

So the CP fans who are really sentimental are the most annoying.

But there was another thing that gave Igor a headache.

Azathoth somehow learned of his conversation with Garcia.

"You don't care about me at all." The evil god's voice was filled with grievance as he let his tentacles wander across the canvas. "It was fine that you didn't tell me anything before, but now that we're clearly in a relationship, so many people are coveting my body, and you don't care at all."

Igor was so annoyed by him that he lost his temper and said breathlessly: "...I never said that. You know I care about you."

"I don't know." Azathoth bit his ear and said vaguely, "I've been waiting for you to tell me."

“…”

"What if one day I'm interested in someone else? What if someone says my name and I happen to think it'd be nice to try someone else?"

It took the dazed human a while to hear what He was saying.

"You won't do that." He tilted his head slightly and kissed Azathoth's jaw and Adam's apple devoutly. "What I mean is, you can choose anything or anyone you like." Under the god's dim gaze, Igor smiled slightly tiredly. "But I will do my best to make myself the most favored of all the humans you've ever come into contact with."

"You already are," the god said. "You will always be, the only one."
