There was no feeling at all. Apart from a little nervousness and worry, Sean gradually could not feel any physical touch from the other party.
On the contrary, I feel not so good...
After breaking free from Shub Nicholas's hands, Sean felt a strange itch on his arms, a slight sting, but more of an itch, and a very itchy one. After shaking off the other person, Sean couldn't help but grab his own arms.
Slowly, he felt itchy on his chest, back, and even the top of his head and soles of his feet!
"What did you do?!"
"Changes that allow you to think," Shub-Niggurath replied.
"Don't you want to know the answer? You can find it if you think about it. However, your current body can't think about such a complex question... So, you need to make some changes."
As soon as he finished talking about the changes, Sean felt as if something was about to grow out of the palm of his hand.
Breaking through the skin...
A ball of muscle arched up, gradually breaking through his skin, and what grew out of his palm was actually a tentacle!
Then tentacles began to sprout all over his arms, face, neck... Sean kept scratching at them with his hands. These tentacles seemed to be connected to his own flesh and blood, and it hurt when they were pulled. His body senses and tactile sensations were slowly disappearing.
He fell to the ground in an instant, his arm completely transformed into a mass of flesh that was falling off, with no bones or flesh left, and something shining brightly appeared in his body.
Sean gradually felt that Shub-Nicholas in front of him became blurry and could hardly be seen clearly.
"The origin of this universe is the blind and foolish Azathoth. Only when you are in his state can you think seriously. Even if you can't see or hear, you can still think, and you can think of the answers you want to know!" The last voice sounded like a reminder from Nicholas.
Sean felt as if the time before his eyes had completely turned into darkness, and his senses were slowly fading away, leaving him with nothing...
No sensation, no touch.
But the only thing that can remind me is that I am still alive, and truly alive.
Where am I?
Chaos of disorder.
Sean suddenly came to his senses, and it felt like he immediately knew the answer...
He suddenly recalled the last conversation with Shub-Nicholas, saying that he was now in an unknown state and could get the answer in this way.
Suddenly, a certain image appeared in Sean's mind. To be more precise, it was the image that appeared before his eyes...
…
Sean didn't know what he was at the moment, but he could quickly understand the reason from the scene before him. This was on the border of Kselke, and the time was sixteen years ago, seven years after the death of the omniscient Meredith, when Kselke supported the southern countries in the war.
During this period, Rachel went to the southern region with her mentor Kedaoer to guide the battle. In fact, she was responsible for helping one of the parties to do something, relying on the power of alchemy and potions to help the other party win on the battlefield. As a helper, the benefit that Xerke would gain was the other party's long-term tax collection and the right to develop the mine.
Since the death of Meredith, the overall industrial level of Rixelke has declined a lot in the years since then. The development of previous plans has not been realized, resulting in a significant decrease in the country's income year by year.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to gain benefits elsewhere, and war is the best way to do so.
"Remember, Rachel. No matter what era, as long as you can gain benefits for yourself, that is the best result. In fact, I also want to try out the information left by Meredith." Codall said.
At this time, with the decline of the previous generation of alchemists, people with the qualifications of Kodal can be regarded as the successor of the Omniscient One, one of the members with the greatest hope of succeeding the Great Alchemist, and the things in his hands are the intelligence he has continuously obtained over the years.
In fact, a few years ago, when Rachel and Rorschach escorted the prisoner Occam to the imperial capital, the other party chose to perform other tasks.
The so-called other tasks are these...
Sean's consciousness continued to gain answers to these stories.
The scene then shifted to the edge of a cliff after a war. Rachel squatted down and smiled at Kedao who was about to fall.
"Rachel, what are you doing! Are you crazy?" Ke Daoer never expected that this noble lady whom he had been training would actually attack him, and in order to steal the information.
"Didn't you say, Professor Ke Daer... that seeking personal gain is the best outcome?"
She smiled and cut off Kodor's last hand that was holding onto the rock wall.
From then on, Rachel successfully inherited the other party's research as Kodal's eldest disciple. It was also at that time that she officially opened Abdullah's manuscript and began to study the magic of resurrection. Her only purpose was to resurrect the dead Rorschach. All life came from Shub-Niggurath herself, and anything related to this would definitely be related to her.
Rachel spent five years throughout the Southern War, sacrificing tens of thousands of lives to the Black Goat Shub-Niggurath...
The so-called return gift from the black goat was never a gift given by her. Shub-Niggurath's character was almost the same as other ancient gods, or more like Yog-Sothoth. She would not pay any attention to the lives of low-level creatures. All the return gifts were made by her descendants.
Life needs nurturing, and growth requires food.
This general rule stipulates that growth requires the devouring of other lives, so the gifts offered are collected by the descendants of the black goat in exchange for their help.
Maybe it’s not even helpful…
The black goat kids were simply staying by Rachel's summoning circle, waiting for the next batch of food. To get the food, they only had to release a few of their tentacles that swayed slightly. Those black shadows were just their tentacles, not the souls of the dead. Their souls and bodies had already been eaten by them.
The pitiful thing is that Rachel actually believed that those puppets were souls, and if she continued to study them, she might even be able to recall the dead Rorschach.
This is the truth!
The truth about summoning souls... Continuing to use this magic will not bring about any resurrection of the dead, it will only continue to feed the black goat kids. And when one day they stop feeding them, these little black sheep may go berserk!
hiss~
Sean's eyes snapped open.
It was like a dream, looking at the dark mass of flesh that was Shub-Niggurath in front of him.
"Well, did you find the answer you were looking for?"
"I……"
Looking at his palm, it has been fully recovered. At the same time, there is a slight difference. The passive skill of [Flame of Cthugha] was engraved on one of his arms, but now it has become [Gift of the Black Goat].
