Chapter 54
"Who is Yog-Sothoth? Inai doesn't know him."
Ina responded, yawned, and then turned back to her room, saying sleepily, "I'm suddenly very sleepy. I'm going to sleep. Good night, brother."
Miel looked at her back in silence for a moment, then replied in a low voice, "Good night."
Obviously, it was impossible to get the specific content of the contract directly from Ina, but at least he knew that there was a contract between his mother Miffel and Yog-Sothoth.
His passive ability of "infinite resurrection" is most likely part of the contract.
Father Tyndall followed Inai and turned around.
Rocas was still standing at the door, looking at Mier, as if he had something to say.
Miel met his gaze and took the initiative to speak: "Rocas, come here, let's talk."
Rocas nodded and said "OK", closed the door for Inai and Dingdel, then came to Miyer and entered his room with Miyer.
Miel walked over to the bed and sat down.
After sitting down, I realized that my legs were a little weak.
He didn't find it strange, but instead felt relieved that "I'm not crazy yet."
It's the Hound of Tindalos and also of Yog-Sothoth. It would be strange if its legs didn't go weak.
However, it turns out that the Hounds of Tindalos are not simply space-time predators, but are driven by someone behind the scenes?
Yog-Sothoth, He is the ruler of time and space, driving the creatures of time and space...so reasonable.
The only thing that puzzled Miel was that Cthulhu and Inai used the image of high elves and spoke the common language, which was understandable. It might be because of habit or the structure of the throat, but why did Yog-Sothoth also speak the common language?
The conversation between Him and Ina seemed to be said intentionally for him...
As he was thinking this, Rocas tentatively asked, "Ms. Ina... is she really the master's sister?"
Miel came back to his senses and replied, "Yes."
After a pause, he added, "There's a saying that goes 'curiosity kills the cat.' If you don't want to die, don't be curious, don't explore, and don't ask questions. Ina Akunila is indeed my sister who has the same parents as me."
"Okay." Rocas nodded in agreement, "I understand. I won't ask again."
"What about you? Do you have anything to say to me?" Miel didn't want to ask directly, he wanted to hear Rocas say it himself.
Rocas pursed his lips. He didn't hesitate for long. Almost as soon as Miel finished his question, he pursed his lips, sighed, and knelt on one knee in Miel's direction. "Master, nothing can be hidden from you... Of course, Master is far superior to me in wisdom and knowledge." He bowed his head and spoke respectfully.
Miel: “…”
Miel: You really misunderstood me.
Rocas: "Indeed, I am not wronged—the Hound of Tindalos did not mistake its prey. I am the Rocas who traveled through time and space many times to save the Saint of Glory City. However, I am also the Rocas who was rescued by you and taken in as your follower."
"I possess the memories of both Rocas, and I know exactly which memory belongs to which me. I don't know why this happened... When I gave you the memory stone, I truly thought I was going to die, but the next moment I woke up in Father Tyndall's church."
"I must confess. I still want to save the Saint of Glory City, I want to save Amiraisyana, but I can't do it alone. I need your guidance, my only master, Miel Akunela."
Rocas finished speaking, and Miel frowned slightly in thought - waking up in Father Tyndall's church?
Rocas's current situation is a bit like the fusion of different incarnations of Cthulhu, but it is obviously impossible for him to do this. I don't know who did it and for what purpose.
Is it Inai, or Father Tyndall? Or is it the god behind Father Tyndall?
"It's the soul calling." Cthulhu said from the side.
He sat beside Miel, arms folded, looking down at Rocas, who was still kneeling on the ground. He said coldly, "Someone summoned your soul from the afterlife and merged it with your living body. But that's not important. I just want to know—how can you, who are still obsessed with saving Amira, claim that Miel is your only master?"
Miel was not surprised by Cthulhu's words, because in Rocas's memory world, Cthulhu's incarnation named "Leon" had questioned Rocas's loyalty.
In Leon's opinion, no, in Cthulhu's opinion, even if it is not love, if one cannot be absolutely loyal to a person, it cannot be considered loyalty.
To this, Rocas responded: "Of course, I in this world am loyal only to you—I mean, you, Miel Akunila. You in this world saved me, helped me escape slavery, and gave me a bright, hopeful future in my dark life. But the Saint of this world doesn't know me, and I haven't met her yet."
Cthulhu: "If you haven't seen it, why should you save it?"
Rocas: “…”
Rocas hesitated to speak.
He couldn't answer.
He clearly has excellent acting skills, and it's clear that no one can tell if he lies seriously, but he can't say anything against his will on this issue.
"Okay, Ron, don't make things difficult for him." Miel raised his hand and hooked Cthulhu's arm, trying to stop Cthulhu from continuing to question Rocas through skin contact.
Having witnessed the life of Rocas in the memory world, he now knows very well what kind of person Rocas is.
Rocas is not a man of rules, but he values friendship and loyalty. He values those who have done him a favor, so no matter who he is loyal to, he will never abandon Amira, who saved him.
Miel didn't think this was a problem that needed to be addressed. After all, he had promised Rocas that he would save Amira. There was no conflict between him and Amira, and there was no need for Rocas to force him to choose between him and Amira.
So his next words were, "Rocas, I promised to help you save Amira, and I won't break my promise. However, the specific method of rescue is up to me. You can't act on your own, and you can't sneak into the church and kill everyone."
"I won't. I will obey my master's orders completely." Rocas promised.
"Well, that's all I want to say. Get up and go to bed."
"Okay, good night, my beloved master." After standing up, Rocas bowed to Miel, took two steps back, and turned to leave.
Cthulhu was very polite and didn't say anything until he left the room and closed the door.
But after the door closed, he immediately asked Miel: "Do you really know what you are facing?"
"I know. It's the Black Young, and only the Black Young," Miel responded calmly. "I don't think the Earth Mother Cult was founded by Shub-Niggurath's will. If that were truly His will, He could have simply had His followers believe in Shub instead of creating an Earth Mother named Samantha out of thin air, right?"
Cthulhu: “It’s hard to say.”
Miel: "Of course I know that the great Cthulhu cannot be the enemy of the Supreme Mother Goddess, but can't he even deal with the Black Goat Kid?"
Cthulhu: "Are you questioning me?"
Miel: “Uh-huh.”
Miel knew that what he said would anger Leon, but there was more than just Leon in Cthulhu.
He was curious about how Cthulhu would react.
——It’s impossible to hurt him anyway?
Under Miel's curious gaze, the silver-haired Cthulhu narrowed his eyes dangerously before speaking in a calm tone: "I don't know how to destroy it, but I know how to control it - are you satisfied?"
"Really?" Miel's eyes lit up instantly, "You are worthy of being my great Lord! You really won't let me down!"
"That sounds weird... When did you become qualified to be disappointed in me?"
Having said that, Cthulhu raised a hand, gently grasped Miel's arm, and pushed him down on the bed. "So—investigate however you want. If it really doesn't work, you can kill everyone in the church. If it's just a black goat kid, I'll even catch one for you to ride. As for now, go to sleep."
Miel said "hmm", and instantly felt that this trip to Guangyao City was not so dangerous.
It turns out that Cthulhu can control the black goat kid, so the only person he fears is Shub-Niggurath.
"Cthulhu, can you lie next to me?" Miyer asked tentatively.
Cthulhu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked down at him and asked him, "Are you 'hungry' again?"
"No... I just want you to lie down with me instead of sitting on the edge of my bed." Miel's body did not have such desire for the time being, but his spirit longed for Cthulhu to get close.
Cthulhu stared at Miel for a while, said "Okay", and lay down beside Miel.
Miel hugged his arms contentedly and rested his forehead on his shoulder.
Then after a while he lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
There was a gray fog in the dream.
Familiar gray fog, this is not the first time I have come here.
I subconsciously looked up and saw that the huge black shadow was indeed there. It was even clearer than last time and I could see the outline of a woman's breasts.
Just when Miel was wondering whether the mechanical female voice would sound... it sounded.
【Believe in me, and I will grant you true, eternal death.】
【Turn your soul into a dream, and turn the dream into reality. 】
Miel sighed.
It was the first time he realized he was dreaming.
Although his brain was as hard to function and think as if it had rusted, there was one thing he knew perfectly well, and that was -
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to die now."
"And the great Cthulhu is my only faith."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black shadow suddenly turned around and headed towards Miel. The rapid movement of his huge body set off a powerful air wave, shaking the gray fog and Miel's vision.
You will regret it.
[You will...] As if the tape was stuck, the robotic female voice kept repeating the same syllables, and it took a long time for her to finish the words. [...I regret it.]
"No, you're the one who regrets this." Miel lowered his eyes. "In other timelines, I didn't sign a contract with Cthulhu. I had the opportunity to believe in you, but you failed to save me. In that case, the me in this timeline doesn't need you either."
