Chapter 279 May the Light of Reason Eternal in the Finale

"In this war between human sanity and madness, we are naturally at a disadvantage. However, because of the 'fortress of sanity', we have a silver lining in this war"

—Lily Coolidge, written two years after becoming the first leader of Delta Green

……

Autumn is high and fresh.

It's another golden autumn day in Arkham.

"It's really troublesome."

Chen Qiang pinched the bridge of his nose.After returning from the vision of the end of the universe, visions of the future would flash before his eyes from time to time.These scenes belong to different parallel worlds: there is a follow-up to the events of Arkham in the 20th century, and there is a follow-up to the eternal war in the 30th century.

Why Lily founded the "Green Delta" in advance with the help of her uncle, what future human army, with the help of consciousnesses (players) from several parallel worlds, pushed the battle front in the universe back to the Pluto circle...

Chen Qiang can no longer shatter reality with a single snap of his fingers, but this time changing the three parallel worlds at the same time - the 20th century of "Arkham Gods", the 21st century where Chen Qiang originally lived, and the 30th century of Lao Chen - seems to be still the same. It brought him some sequelae...

"These illusions may not necessarily become reality." Chen Qiang thought.Gu Shiyin, Helena and others wrote an analysis report on his mental phenomenon, and this illusion will soon pass.

Before snapping his fingers, Chen Qiang really wanted to take this opportunity to change the world and expel all the Outer Gods and Old Ones from the parallel universe he could influence, but he didn't do it in the end.

Chen Qiang will always remember Stephana's expression.She looked very sorry.

"Is it a pity that I didn't directly destroy the world?"

The Outer Gods and the Old Ones, these divine beings are closely related to the natural laws of the universe, not to mention whether Ross can expel himself, and letting them disappear forcibly may cause the collapse of the parallel universe itself.

Naia undoubtedly expected herself to make too radical a choice.It's a pity that at the last moment, Chen Qiang still maintained the minimum calmness.

Greeting Sayoko at work, Chen Qiang walked towards the street.Cecilu sorted out the mission report, and Chen Qiang didn't bother her.

Although it will not directly interfere with the historical development of this parallel world, in terms of mythology, the future "Green Delta" still hopes to see the investigator organization of this era become active in advance.

……

In the temporary base of "Silver Twilight".

Qin Yuantu was surprised.

Lady Agatha Pickman disappeared from her room.Where she had been, there was nothing left but a handful of dust like fine sand.

"There was an attack?"

Qin Yuantu was puzzled.

He used the secret method of contact left by "Silver Twilight" to contact the headquarters, but apparently, the organization's headquarters in Boston also fell into chaos.Several leaders disappeared, and Hong Zhou and others left in a hurry because of some "change in the South Pacific". The busy "Silver Twilight" could no longer concentrate on paying attention to Qin Yuantu's situation.

"What happened?" Qin Yuantu became more and more confused.

Suddenly the door opened.Qin Yuantu reflexively touched the gun at his waist.

But in the next second, his eye sockets were moist.

"Little Snow."

He saw his daughter.

Qin Yixian was not far away, smiling.

……

Everyone didn't know: Chen Qiang, who was in a transformed state, paraded around the block in a state of "super acceleration", completely safe.

The armored knight sat lazily on a small two-story building, watched the crowds coming and going on the streets of Arkham, and released the transformation.

"It's as I expected." Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Through one-time intervention, Chen Qiang made a wish to "drive the material entities of the Outer Gods and Old Ones out of the material universe".

And the "Veil Crusher" responded to this request - this illusory outer god didn't need an entity to demonstrate its power.

Stephana just showed a regretful expression, then became dim in place, and then slowly disappeared—like the famous "jubilant black man", Nyarlathotep's body is real The incarnation of the outer gods, rather than just relying on consciousness to rely on the human body.

Perhaps the cunning Nyarlathotep will find a way to interfere with these universes.But in any case, the powerful outer gods don't seem to care much about the entity's temporary disappearance in this cosmic cycle.

The Great Old Ones and their followers were not so lucky.

At this time, Chen Qiang is still aware of the grand panic staged in all the dark corners of the earth all over the world: Cthulhu's "entity" disappeared directly on the bottom of the sea.Not far from Raliyah, its two "sons", Yitogesa of the Ihei Abyss and Zos Omog near Ponape Island are the same.

Yug and the people of the deep who served Itogesa and Zos Omog fell into helplessness and anxiety-as did the deep divers of R'lyeh and the people of Zos.The "voice" of the Lord of R'lyeh can still be heard from the deepest part of the space, even forming a phantom of churning, but its power is unprecedentedly weak, and it is even difficult to directly interfere with this world.

Some Laws of Immortality that depended on a particular Great Old One for their effectiveness also became invalid when their entities were driven out of the world.These immortal humans disappeared in an instant, leaving only a decayed corpse or dust.

There are also a few followers of gods who do not rely on entities to be relatively calm.

In the 30th century, the two armies were in a bit of chaos.Both sides have suffered certain losses, but the "dimension engine" draws power from the void instead of the world, so it is still effective, and the balance of war is tilted towards humans.

The silver twilight of the 20th century was completely paralyzed.Chen Qiang is asking for the assistance of the official of this era through Lily, and must completely destroy it.

From Gustav Johansen to Qin Yuantu, what has happened and what has not yet happened, in many worlds, people have paid too much sacrifice in order to fight against "the time when the stars return".

"At least now, I saved Uncle Yuantu."

Maybe in this war between reason and madness, Chen Qiang can't save everyone, but at least he can provide a safe haven for his friends and important people.

In front of the old rulers who cannot be wiped out by the destruction of the universe, perhaps what he is fighting is a war that is doomed to failure.

However, he still decided to continue the war.

……

21st century.

To celebrate the end of the busy work, Chen Qiang arranged a collective vacation for the employees of "Fortress of Sanity" on Easter Island.

No one has a problem with this-some people complain that this deserted island is really "meeting is not as famous", but since it is free, what can be said?
"What are you thinking?" Qin Lingxue asked curiously on the beach.Chen Qiang was fascinated by the distant sea.Cecilu, Gu Shiyin and Xiao Yezi were taking pictures, and at the entrance of the hotel, Qin Yixian, Qin Yuantu and Bai Shaobao in casual clothes were discussing something.

"It's nothing," Chen Qiang replied. He arranged the vacation spot here on the spur of the moment. Fortunately, the deep divers who were tormented by the "Ke Zong's disappearance" didn't have time to disturb them at all. "I'm thinking, the fortress of reason is It's time to erect a... well, a new 'Fortress of Sanity'."

"Where?"

"Oh, I don't plan to choose a bustling big city." Looking at his employees, Chen Qiang smiled, "'Arkham Sanity Fortress Building', what do you think?"

He held Xiaoxue's hand.

The sun shines brightly on the beach.

Maybe the calm won't last forever...

Maybe there will be a new disaster soon...

But human beings will still use all their remaining reason and sobriety to support this peaceful life.

And this is exactly the way of survival chosen by strong intelligent civilizations in a crazy universe.
