Marvel's Great Old Ones

"I don't understand what the purpose of buying this statue is. Isn't the original solid one bad?"

Daniel was leaning on the table, holding Cthulhu in one hand and holding a bottle of gasoline in the other.

"I have my reasons. You know nothing about the Cthulhu Mythos." Li Xiu came out of the bedroom and threw the priest's robe in his hand at Daniel's face. "Just change your clothes. You don't care about that much." What are you doing!"

"The Cthulhu Mythos? The one written by Howard Lowft?"

Daniel took off the clothes on his face and said: "Although I only went to community high school, I still know a little bit about the Cthulhu Mythos. I heard some people say, what's wrong? What does it have to do with you wearing this dress with me?" ?"

Daniel has heard of the Cthulhu Mythos!

"Howard Philip Lovecraft, the American writer who first created the Cthulhu Mythology series."

Li Xiu said in surprise: "Are you sure the Howard Philip Lovecraft you know and the Howard Philip Lovecraft I know are the same person?"

"If you're talking about the Howard who created the Cthulhu Mythos, that's probably it."

This time it was Li Xiu's turn to be stunned.

"The Cthulhu Mythos written by him actually exists in this world! I have read few books, so don't lie to me."

"You can use your mobile phone to search the Internet...wait, what do you mean by this world!"

As Daniel spoke, he suddenly discovered something strange in Li Xiu's words.

"Cthulhu!!"

Cthulhu slapped Daniel dissatisfiedly as he stopped moving due to shock.

Ignoring the shocked Daniel, Li Xiu quickly took out his phone to search for information about Howard Philip Lovecraft.

“霍华德·菲利普·洛夫克拉夫特（1890年8月20日—1937年3月15日），美国恐怖、科幻与奇幻小说作家，尤以其怪奇小说著称。其代表作品有《克苏鲁的呼唤》《星之彩》《疯狂山脉》《印斯茅斯之影》……”

"Olichet..."

Li Xiu directly swore. There is actually an author of the Cthulhu Mythos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So what is Cthulhu, a virtual creature that has come from illusion into reality?

Then who am I? What does it mean if I travel through time? Fucking fucking world.

"What do you mean by that question? What's wrong?"

This was the first time Daniel saw Li Xiu, who seemed to be crazy no matter what situation he encountered, so crazy. He was a little curious about why he was so sad when he knew the author who created the Cthulhu Mythos.

Li Xiu felt a little numb. He originally wanted to establish a belief in the Cthulhu mythology in this world, but now he suddenly received such news.

"What do you think you are holding? It is Cthulhu, the Lord of R'lyeh of the Deep, the faith of the Deep Ones!"

"What!?"

Daniel stared at Cthulhu with beady eyes. For him, it was Cthulhu! He always thought that Cthulhu was just the name Li Xiu gave to this strange pet octopus.

What's the meaning! I don't deserve it!

Seeing that his human mount dared to show such an unbelievable expression, Cthulhu felt deeply offended.

It whipped Daniel hard, and made an angry brubru sound from its mouth hidden behind its tentacles.

However, it seems that there are no works related to the Cthulhu Mythos in this world, and it saves me time to promote it.

Li Xiu touched his chin and thought of this.

"Speaking of which, can a fictitious character in a book establish a church? Do I need to imitate those Asgardians to perform a miracle, but my current strength does not allow it."

Don't look at the Asgard realm in the movie. It was so frustrating. First, it was invaded by a group of frost giant barbarians. Then it was easily invaded by a group of dark elves. Asgard was also penetrated by the fire giant Surtur with a sword. Asgard.

But in reality, even if it is not as tall as a real god, it is at least a truly advanced civilization, an existence with great prestige in the universe.

Even in the universe, Asgard is a true legend and a true epic.

If nothing else, let’s just talk about the Rainbow Bridge that is used as a glass portal. It is a real high-end Star Destroyer weapon.

Don't look at it in the movie when Thor used the Meow Hammer to smash it to pieces. It was so brittle that it looked like it was made of glass.

But even the weakling Thor in the movie is just a beast, and he can actually be irradiated by hard steel neutron stars, which are hundreds of billions of degrees high!

The Meow Hammer was also made from Asgard's most powerful magical metal, Uru metal, in the Dead Star, entrusting the power of the God of Thunder with a large amount of magic and Odin's spells.

The combination of the two allowed Thor to successfully destroy the Bifrost.

The real Bifrost can blast the Frost Giants' planet Jotunheim to pieces with one shot at full power.

Such a powerful protoss has the conditions to perform miracles on earth.

But Li Xiu is different. He has just traveled to Marvel and has no strength or backing.

If he shows off his power rashly and has no threatening power, he will only attract crazy temptation and covetation.

Scratching his head, Li Xiu couldn't think of any way to solve the problem of establishing a church by himself.

Power, power, fucking power. If you don’t have the strength, you have to worry about this and that.

The only way now is for him to strengthen as quickly as possible and evolve into a higher form.

By absorbing a large amount of energy, he can make his body undergo an energy level jump and become a higher-level existence.

The original Shoggoth who is now the body of the Shoggoth is just a slave race created by the ancient one.

Although the Shoggoths finally destroyed the declining ancient race, they could not change this fact.

There are many powerful or weird creatures in the Cthulhu Mythos. Creatures such as Star Color, Deep Diver, and Mi-Go are everywhere.

Above these creatures, there are also the old rulers who can truly achieve eternity. In the face of these chaotic existences that cannot be named or looked at directly, even death will perish.

Facing these weird and powerful creatures, Li Xiu couldn't imagine any technological means that could solve them. Just seeing and hearing them was already destined to end. What kind of despair it was.

It's a pity that he is just a little Shoggoth now, still worrying about how to make money and how to absorb more energy.

"It seems that if he wants to truly live, he just wants to live without any effect. He still has to face the plot of the Marvel movie, and he still has to plan for the Infinity Stones. Otherwise, when will he be able to truly transcend life and death like the Old Ones? .”

Faced with the power of Cthulhu, Daniel finally succumbed, believing that it was the real Cthulhu, the Great Old One.

Li Xiu asked Daniel to put on the priest's robe and start making the statue according to the records in "Nine Chapters of Xuanjun".

According to the records of "Nine Chapters of Xuanjun", through the "god statue", the base of faith, with divinity, spirituality, and humanity as anchor points, a ritual using the power of the gods in the dream world is performed to transform the power of faith at the chaotic dream level. Summoned from the bridge between Kadath and reality.

Originally, the best material for divinity was a fragment of his or Cthulhu's true self concept.

It's a pity that now he only has the physical ability of Shoggoth Body, and his only conceptual ability is the eating ability of "Glutton's Heart".

Without the means to cut off conceptual material, he could only use the indistinguishable property of spirit and flesh to cut off part of the body directly from Cthulhu's body.

As for why his flesh was not cut off, it was because the body of the Shoggoth was not his real body, and his concept of self was not entangled with the flesh, so even cutting off a part of it would be useless.

The severed body of the Shoggoth would undergo strange changes as soon as it left his sight.

Like a fading shadow, that small section of tentacles will slowly escape into an unknown twisted dimension, and then the body will recover as it squirms.

If he receives any damage beyond his endurance limit, he will also take damage.

The color of his body will gradually fade. Although he doesn't know if he will die, what is certain is that it will not be a fun experience.

Cthulhu's physical defense is much higher than his. Without a vibranium knife, it is impossible for him to remove Cthulhu's flesh.

After coaxing him for a long time and promising a lot of wishes, Cthulhu tearfully bit off a piece of flesh as big as a fingernail.

As for spirituality, he can't get it directly yet. He still needs to arrange a magic circle in the statue based on the records in "Nine Chapters of Xuanjun" in his mind.

The function of the magic circle is to act as a filter container, a "spiritual magnet" to absorb the spiritual energy escaping from the mental fluctuations of those who come to church for worship.

The materials for the magic circle were not difficult to find, but they were a bit disgusting, like dead cats, fetal hair, and placenta. Li Xiu planned to let Li Mo find these things.

Since we are already planning to cooperate, why not use such good resources?

The words of humanity need to be handed over to Daniel. Through identity authentication, Daniel can meet the conditions of the entire ceremony.

And the humanity he contributed as an anchor in the world can also give him some "magical" abilities.

I was busy until midnight, most of the ceremony was arranged, and I just waited for Li Mo to get the materials together through the door of Jishi Hall.
