The expedition returned to Arkham in disgrace.

Although this expedition did not yield any results and many people died, almost everyone looked relieved. Professor Mike apologized to Fang Zheng before parting, saying that the responsibility for the failure of the expedition was all on him. However, Fang Zheng did not take it seriously. On the contrary, he told him that if there were similar incidents in the future, he could come back to him.

After all, Arkham is a place with many talented people and beautiful scenery. The streets are full of ancient gods and the Great Old Ones. You can open an ancient god copy just by taking a walk. Who knows, there may be some hidden copies waiting for Fang Zheng to explore next.

As for Fang Zheng, this trip to Antarctica was a great success.

In just this one "copy", Fang Zheng encountered three races: the Ancients, the Shoggoths, and the Hounds of Tindalos. The Ancients and the Shoggoths were burned by Fang Zheng, and the Hounds of Tindalos...

“Woof woof woof!!”

As soon as Fang Zheng opened the door, he saw a fat Husky barking and rushing towards him, then lying on Fang Zheng's body, wagging its tail. Fang Zheng just laughed and reached out to touch the big furry head.

"Be good, be good, well... Nymph has adjusted you pretty well."

The husky in front of him that looked like a raised pig was none other than the Lord of Tindalos, Msisha. On the other side of time, Fang Zheng, who had transformed into a time dragon, had a world-shattering battle with Msisha... It was impossible.

It should be said that it was a completely one-sided battle of bullying.

The Time Dragon is free from time and is the master and controller of time. However, Msisha is just the condensation of the concept of time. This is a restrained relationship comparable to that of natural enemies. When the two meet, the result is that Msisha holds his head and is beaten up by Fang Zheng. After being beaten half to death, he is pulled over as his pet.

By the way, the reason why Fang Zheng asked Nymph to adjust Msisha into this round and fat Erha form is also related to the concept of Tindalos. In the world view of Tindalos, time is divided into angles and curves. Humans and other races live in the "curve" of time, while the dogs of Tindalos live in the "angle", which is why they are teleported through a corner when they appear.

So Fang Zheng condensed the information and created a round and fat Erha shell, and put Msisha inside, which was like a collar, firmly controlling the Lord of Tindalos. And Fang Zheng would never let Msisha go. The Time Dragon was full of strong interest in all existences with time characteristics, just like humans' desire for beautiful women. And when a being like the Dog of Tindalos, which was itself a condensation of time, encountered a Time Dragon who was fond of collecting time-related items, then it would obviously have only one fate.

But this is not entirely a good thing.

Because when retaking Msissa, Fang Zheng also received a system prompt.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng stroked the furry head of the Husky in front of him and opened the system. He browsed the previous system prompts again.

[Obtained hidden achievement 5/? ]

[Obtain Soul Scroll X3]

[You have gained the loyalty of the Tindalos clan]

[Special mission "Attention in the Void" is launched]

[Your battle with Msisha transcends the boundaries of time and space, and has attracted the attention of a powerful being in the infinite void. Show it your strength and gain its recognition or obedience (in the infinite void, billions of shining spheres are quietly watching you)]

Without asking, Fang Zheng knew who the task prompt was referring to.

"Yog-Sothoth..."

Looking at the task in front of him, Fang Zheng frowned.

Finally, am I going to face off against the Three Pillars of God?

Even Fang Zheng knew how powerful Yog-Sothoth was. He was the supreme Outer God second only to Azathoth, an omniscient, omnipotent, and all-seeing being. Compared to him, the Cthulhu Ancient Ones, Shoggoths, and Deep Ones were all just child's play.

Getting that guy's attention is not something to be praised.

Fang Zheng was not sure who would be the final winner if he and Yog-Sothoth had a fight. Although both he and Yog-Sothoth were beings beyond time and space, other than that, the two were not similar.

Just as every god has his or her own way of life, Fang Zheng and Yog-Sothoth's ways are completely different.

Yog-Sothoth's way of action is to stand outside the whole world, watching everything in it detachedly and indifferently. It is like a real-time strategy or business simulation game player, who always likes to look down on the little people on the screen running around, occasionally clicking the mouse to create some natural disasters or man-made disasters, and it is very interesting to watch those little people running around.

However, Fang Zheng is more like an FPS and RPG game player. He prefers to participate in the games himself and then slowly change everything from a corner.

All in all, it's the difference in the style and approach of the game.

But there is no distinction between high and low.

It’s like two people fighting in a game. Maybe one of them is no match for the other, but when that person gets angry and throws down the keyboard and picks up a chair to smash his opponent in real life, who will win is another matter.

What Fang Zheng is worried about now is the limit of Yog-Sothoth's so-called "omniscience and omnipotence". After all, omniscience and omnipotence is just a term used by low-level civilizations to praise high-level civilizations. If Fang Zheng's Tiandao Palace were brought to the Middle Ages or modern Earth, it would be considered an omniscience and omnipotence civilization, but it would be helpless against Chaos. It's just that the battle dimension with Chaos is too high, so low-level civilizations can't feel it at all.

For example, the Holy Kingdom in the main world also praises the Goddess of Order as "omniscient and omnipotent", so they would never imagine that the Goddess of Order is a pervert who likes to watch BL movies and have some indescribable aesthetics.

Moreover, judging from the many failed experimental results that Fang Zheng had seen at other coordinate points, the Goddess of Order was far from being omniscient and omnipotent - of course, there was no need to specifically tell the people of the Holy Kingdom about this.

However...if my inference is correct, and this world is also the testing ground of the Goddess of Order, then as the core of the "setting" of this world, Azathoth must have some kind of relationship with the Goddess of Order, just like the Golden Nightmare King at the third coordinate point...

Wait, that can't really be the case!

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng was suddenly shocked.

He suddenly remembered something.

If Fang Zheng remembered correctly, Azathoth also had a nickname called "the core of primordial chaos". If according to the setting, then Azathoth should belong to chaos.

But it was created by the Goddess of Order?

Wait, when did the Golden Nightmare King incident happen?

Fang Zheng then realized that he had overlooked an important point. He was only concerned about how the third coordinate point was broken, but Fang Zheng forgot one thing.

That is the explosion and chaos invasion at the third coordinate point. When did it happen?

Judging from the passage of time in the worlds at the third coordinate point, it should have been tens of thousands of years ago. If we judge based on the same time, the Goddess of Order must still be alive at that time. In other words, the Goddess of Order at that time was likely to have personally observed the invasion of the core at the third coordinate point and the resurrection of the Golden Nightmare King that resulted from it!

Will and order born from chaos!

Is the Goddess of Order trying to create a being similar to the Golden Nightmare King in this world?

What exactly does she want to do? Completely integrate order and chaos? Or find unity in the fusion of chaos and order?

No matter what, up to now, Fang Zheng finally made a judgment about the world he was in.

Assuming that this world appeared after the Goddess of Order observed the destruction of the third coordinate point and the birth of the Golden Nightmare King, then this place is obviously another testing ground of the Goddess of Order.

As for the content of the experiment, I'm afraid only Yog-Sothoth or Azathoth knows...

"Boom boom boom."

Just as Fang Zheng was stroking the dog's head and thinking, there was a knock on the door, and then Asakura Ryoko walked in.

"Master, a telegram from Master Francis."

"telegraph?"

Fang Zheng reached out his hand to take the telegram in confusion, only to find that it was sent last week. However, he was on his way back to Arkham with Nymph and the others at the time, so he had no idea of ​​the situation - the backward communication methods in this world are really annoying.

"Well, let me see..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng unfolded the telegram. It said that Francis and Valentine had found traces of a meteorite fall in a small town in New Orleans. According to their observations over the past few days, something strange seemed to be happening in the town. They were still investigating the details...

Then several telegrams were sent in succession, indicating that the local environment had changed. The water in the local wells had a strange taste, and many plants began to become deformed. Not only that, the local residents seemed to be gradually becoming irritable and angry...

"Anything else?"

Fang Zheng finished reading three telegrams in succession and looked at Asakura Ryoko, who shook her head.

"No, these are the only three telegrams I found in the mailbox."

“So there’s a problem over there.”

Fang Zheng sighed, stood up and stretched. After only sending three telegrams, there was no response. This was not a good sign. Although Fang Zheng believed that they should be fine, who could say for sure? After all, they were given the crowbar, so at least they should still be alive, right?

"Okay, tell Nymph to get ready, and we'll go over there to check out the situation."
