Su Yue couldn't help but hesitate.

The Shrine of Gods allows you to choose only one god to worship. This means that choosing Hastur, the Wind King, will inevitably offend you; choosing Hastur is equivalent to directly offending Cthulhu.

"How about choosing some other deity?"

Left with no other choice, Su Yue could only consult his subordinates' opinions, but there were also conflicts and contradictions among them.

Europa: "My lord, please offer the great God to the temple of the gods."

Abraham von Heinrich Anatos first bowed gracefully to Su Yue, and then slowly said, “Master, if you are to choose God as your worshipper, why not choose Satan of Hell, or Demogorgon of our Abyss of Purgatory, or Jupiter, who controls the ‘Breeding Ground of Chaos’? I can assure you, Master, that worshipping these gods will bring you more benefits, and direct, explicit benefits.”

"First, you gain the right to invade the surface material plane of the abyss. Well, the territory we're in now is called the material plane."

"Secondly, you can corrupt other subordinates and turn them into your loyal Abyss troops."

"Third, you can establish an evil cult..."

Europa immediately interrupted, “Enough! The Great Divine Sovereign is the one who calls upon the throne of God and the banner of the righteous gods. You should believe in, and the only object of your belief is God.”

Abraham's expression was as dangerous as the surrounding fir forest. Those forests gave a sense of depth, solemnity, and obscuring the view.

"Angels are a stubborn bunch; they only know how to worship the so-called God, and they don't even know if God exists..."

"Shut up, justice and evil are like fire and water."

Su Yue had a headache.

Two ninth-tier subordinates started arguing... one a devil, the other an angel. It's normal for them to argue, isn't it... normal, right...? But he sensed something unnatural about their quarrel.

This unnaturalness stemmed from Abraham von Heinrich Anatos. Su Yue vaguely sensed that this sixth brother seemed to be inciting Europa to argue with him?

"Wait, what's that sixth brother doing?"

The moment Su Yue realized this, he suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

"Shrine Maiden: Tier 6 Corrupted Unit".

—This branch of the military is being corrupted and tempted by the devil.

"Damn it, he's interfering with my choices again."

The devil is cunning and treacherous, while the angels appear innocent and kind… In Su Yue's view, Abraham might simply be deliberately arguing with Europa. Then, through this argument, he could buy time and secretly corrupt the shrine of the gods!

Once the status of evil orthodoxy was established, it became difficult for Europa and other righteous beings to challenge his position.

Human thoughts travel at lightning speed.

Realizing this, Su Yue knew he couldn't wait any longer. He immediately addressed the options for offering in the Temple of Gods:

"I choose to worship the great 'Lord of R'lyeh,' 'Lord of the Desolation,' Cthulhu Flutan, as the true god to be worshipped in the Pantheon!"

There's no other way; we have to risk offending Hastur, the Wind King.

A decision must be made.

Once the great devil Abraham were to offer up Demogorgon, the "devil prince" of his faith, Jupiter, who controlled the "breeding ground of chaos," and even Satan, his territory would be completely out of control.

The so-called divine right of kings meant that Su Yue was very aware of the possibility of a situation where the power of a monarch could become too great to control.

Once he established contact with the abyss.

With the addition of Abraham von Heinrich Anatos, that pure-blooded sixth son, his territory is likely to be perpetually in turmoil. He might even be held hostage and coerced into completely transforming into a Lord of the Abyss. Conversely, the Cthulhu Mythos, though even more terrifying and possessing greater divine power, is a different story.

Cthulhu, though part of the Great Old Ones, is not the kind of character who is chaotic, evil, and slaughters innocent lives.

On the contrary, as the lord of water.

Cthulhu is one of the few Great Old Ones who possesses reason.

Moreover, it can be described as an evil god.

For the Silent City, R'lyeh's subordinates, the "Deep Ones," the minions of the evil god, the constraints were not so strong; Hastur, the Wind King, was different, posing a greater danger and being far more chaotic. In Su Yue's understanding, if one didn't want the situation to spiral out of control...

Choose the deities to be worshipped in the shrine of gods, a divine building.

It can be neither God nor Satan.

It is even less likely that, as Abraham von Heinrich Anatos, the sixth brother, would have hoped, that they would worship any evil gods of the abyss or purgatory.

Therefore, his choice of the Cthulhu god can be considered a compromise.

It was merely a compromise.

There's also a problem: if he's discovered by Hastur, the Wind King, he might be targeted by another powerful Great Old One and a demon god. "But it's still better than being completely dragged onto the war chariot by that sixth brother, Abraham von Heinrich Anatos."

At this moment, Su Yue's inner turmoil was intense.

He was now like the King of Prussia; bound by Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor of Prussia who believed in militarism, to the unifying war machine of the Northern Federation, Emperor Wilhelm I; Prussia was indeed very strong during Bismarck's twenty-year reign, but Prussia was later destroyed!

"Whom God would destroy, He first makes mad. I cannot be led by the nose by Abraham, or I will bring about my own destruction sooner or later."

Su Yue clearly understood this point and was determined to stop Abraham, the sixth son, from continuing to delay.

Abraham von Heinrich Anatos's expression suddenly changed!

"Master, you mustn't!"

"boom!"

The towering clouds, gathering lightning and cumulonimbus clouds, formed a gray tapestry above, tinged with a cool, greenish mist.

The clear sky of Tianqi suddenly turned into a torrential downpour.

Amidst the cold, misty clouds, the surrounding cedar trees swayed in the fierce wind.

Su Yue clearly saw a terrifying, colossal tentacle, obscuring the sky and the sun, emerging from the heights of the clouds, about to stretch out. Gradually, the terrifying image of Cthulhu's true form seemed to appear before his eyes, with cold rocks swirling around the tentacle—it seemed to be another world, a world belonging only to an evil god.

"Well done, little guy."

Abraham von Heinrich Anatos exclaimed in shock, "Damn it...who is this evil god?"

He suddenly recalled the scene when he tried to murder Su Yue and was threatened by the terrifying evil god's power. At that time, he was still surprised and astonished by the Cthulhu power that Su Yue possessed, but now that astonishment had completely turned into shock.

"An ancient being that transcends ranks..."

Ancient, evil, terrifying, and enormous were Abraham's first impressions of Cthulhu.

The enormous, octopus-like tentacles, with their incredibly ancient skin, seemed to have existed for billions of years. The cold, granular material on them touched the ancient, rustic rocks of R'lyeh, the world of the otherworldly evil gods.

Cthulhu stretched out its tentacles, the entire divine territory covering an area of ​​over 40,000 square meters. Yet, it seemed smaller than even a single suction cup on one of its tentacles.

"It's so damn shocking and terrifying."

Su Yue's Sanity value is plummeting!

Sanity (Sanity) is a marker of the frenzied reaction that occurs when mortals try to peek into the divine within the Cthulhu pantheon. Once the Sanity of ordinary detectives, 19th-century seekers of evil gods, and explorers reaches zero, they will go completely insane! Some even suffer fates worse than death.

Only a tiny fraction of Cthulhu's true form has been revealed.

Its true form was shrouded in cold rain and mist.

The rain and fog obscured everyone's vision.

The system notification sound from the Turin world suddenly rang in Su Yue's ears.
