Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2475: Demons dancing wildly

Liu Xing put down the empty soup bowl, suddenly came back to his senses and said: "Wait, Fomalhaut? I remember Hastur has been staying in Betelgeuse or Lake Harry in Betelgeuse. Anyway, it doesn't Should it be sealed in Fomalhaut? As for the old ruler who was sealed in Fomalhaut, it seems to be the super-enhanced version of the Fire Spirit - Cthugya?"

"That's right, it was Cthugha who tricked Hastur, so Hastur had to stay in Fomalhaut at this time and was imprisoned, which gave the King in Yellow an opportunity!"

Alice said seriously: "The relationship between Hastur and Cthurgia is quite good, because they have the same enemy - Cthulhu! You must know that Cthulhu and the deep divers back then were almost able to destroy the earth. After all, their enemies at that time were only the Ancient Ones who could speak, but there was no Old Dominator on the Ancient Ones side, so in the end, the deep divers still nibbled away most of the territory. , so they had to retreat to the last few cities in the deep sea, and other ancients outside the earth did not dare to come to help their people at this time, because they knew that their coming would not help, and at most they would just let them go. Those deep divers have a few new achievements.”

"Because the ancient gods at that time had already chosen to leave, leaving only some clones to stay on the earth as secret agents to find out information, so my master and the others didn't know why those old rulers and mythical creatures came in swarms. Earth, and then fought over it. In the end, not only did both sides suffer, but many of the old rulers were sealed. Although some of the seals were also made by the ancient gods, to put it bluntly, this was just fishing in troubled waters! , or to take advantage of your illness to kill you! But there are many seals that are nominally made by the ancient gods, but in fact they are just pulled by each other, such as the one that sealed Cthulhu! Star and Cthurgia! Yes, these two Old Ones have been allies for a long time."

"According to my master, Cthulhu is the old ruler with the water attribute, while Hastur is the wind attribute. As for Cthugya, it must be the fire attribute, so Cthulhu and Cthulhu They are just born to be difficult to deal with, and although Hastur and Cthulhu are brothers and look very similar, the relationship between the two brothers is not good, so it is normal for brothers to have a feud. ; As the saying goes, the fire can only burn stronger and stronger with the help of the wind, so if Hastur and Cthurgia can cooperate, they will definitely be able to stabilize Cthulhu, so Cthulhu is sealed by them. It’s reasonable, but Hastur and Cthurgia didn’t feel good about it, so they left the earth separately.”

Attributes?

When he heard this keyword, Liu Xing knew that the parallel world where Alice was located was based on the standards set by Dres, so the so-called attributes appeared.

For the Cthulhu Mythology, the God of Craftsmanship must be the proper creation god. This is similar to Pangu in Chinese mythology, or the first generation of god-king Kroros in the Olympus mythology. In short, he created He understood some basic settings in the Cthulhu Mythology and created many classic mythical creatures and Old Ones in the Cthulhu Mythology.

Other authors who wrote related works about the Cthulhu Mythology and enriched many details of the Cthulhu Mythology are equivalent to the Twelve Gods of Olympus. They further developed the Cthulhu Mythology based on the foundation left by the master of craftsmanship. The improvement and expansion of Cthulhu Mythos, and its promotion at the same time, let more people see and like the Cthulhu Mythos. Therefore, these authors can be regarded as having great achievements in their hard work, and the leader among them is none other than Derleth. Therefore, Liu Xing has always felt that Derleth's status in the Cthulhu mythology is similar to that of Zeus!

However, friends who are familiar with the myth of Olympus should know that the relationship between Zeus and his father is not good at all, so Zeus has done a lot of "rebellious" things, and Derleth is very fond of the master of craftsmanship. Still quite respectful, but in the eyes of many fans of the Cthulhu Mythology, Derleth has made a treasonous move, that is, he introduced the concept of attributes to the Cthulhu Mythology, and classified the Old Ones according to their attributes. Its image and characteristics define its attributes, and there is also a mutual restraint between these attributes. . . After all, what's the point of listing these attributes if they can't counteract each other?

But for many fans of the Cthulhu Mythos, the main reason why the Old Ones are so terrifying and invincible is that these Old Ones possess everything that is unknowable - indescribable, indescribable and Don’t look directly!

In short, the Old Ones are mysterious and powerful existences for us humans, and they are also invincible and powerful enemies!

Of course, maybe these Old Ones may not care about us ants. . .

All in all, after Derleth brought the attribute settings into the Cthulhu Mythos, the Old Ones became "approachable" because they lost that layer of mystery and became It is no different from an ordinary big monster. It is like a virtual idol anchor on a certain live broadcast platform. If they put down their holsters, their popularity will drop sharply in all likelihood, unless you are very good at fighting.

However, for Derleth, this is not a crime worthy of death. After all, his contributions to the Cthulhu Mythology are obvious to all. It can even be said that today’s Cthulhu Mythology can have such a status because of him and the master of love craftsmanship. The credit can be shared equally.

However, Liu Xing also feels that the so-called attribute settings are somewhat inappropriate for the Cthulhu Mythos, because the appearance of attributes will inevitably lead to a restraint relationship, which will inevitably make some people of the same level After meeting, the Old Ones would first have a stone-paper cut, and then decide whether to fight or not.

This is boring.

This is like a MOBA game that was once very popular. There were originally quite a lot of characters that could appear. However, after the new mythical version arrived, there were only a few characters that could appear on the field. Because only these characters are most suitable for the current version, and unless the remaining characters are really strong, no player is willing to use them to play in the game. After all, if you choose these characters, you will lose half of the characters compared to other characters. Even if it is a piece of equipment, it is no different from giving up in a close game.

Therefore, if Derleth had not introduced attribute settings to the Cthulhu Myth, his reputation would have been very high, and it would not be a problem to be called the "parent" of the Cthulhu Myth along with the master of craftsmanship.

But having said that, the reason why Hastur and Cthulhu are fighting against each other is also a problem left by their father, the God of Craftsmanship, because the prototype of Hastur is the work of another person, and the Master of Craftsmanship After watching this work, I felt that Hastur’s setting was very suitable for my own Cthulhu mythology, so I brought Hastur into the Cthulhu mythology. Therefore, the master of craftsmanship is considered Hastur ’s adoptive father, and Cthulhu must be the biological son of the master of craftsmanship.

Just like Liu Feng and Liu Chan in history, they are both Liu Bei's sons in name, but their treatment is very different. Even Liu Feng will worry that Liu Bei will one day pave the way for his own son. Send your adopted son away early! In some families that originally had no heirs and had to adopt an adopted son to inherit the family business, but later did have a biological son, the most troubled person besides the head of the family was the adopted son. After all, the former had to consider raising his own son. She has had an adopted son for so many years, and the adopted son’s family status was not low before he had a biological son! But the problem is that now that I have a biological son, then according to human nature, I must leave my family property to my biological son. This also affects the opinions of outsiders, especially in the ancient times when the eldest son inherited the system.

The only issue an adoptive father needs to consider is whether to send away his adopted son in any sense, but the adopted son needs to think about even more issues.

After all, the adopted son also knows that after his father has a biological son, his attitude towards him may change 365 degrees!

Uh, there seems to be something wrong. After this round, wouldn’t it be in vain?

All in all, after the adopted son knows that his status is unstable, as his "brother" grows older, the psychological pressure will increase. In the end, he will inevitably do some extraordinary things to protect his own interests.

But this is in the Cthulhu Running Game Hall. Would the brothers Hastur and Cthulhu really fight over such a trivial matter?

Adopted son and eldest son, if this were placed in some novels on the female channel next door, it would probably create a lot of sparks.

Just when Liu Xing was criticizing the relationship between Hastur and Cthulhu, Alice also said to herself: "Hasta has always been unfriendly to the brother Cthulhu, so Liu Xing, you also know that some people He felt that his enemy was living a good life, but it was even more uncomfortable for him to become impoverished. Therefore, Hastur did not want to watch his brother take over the entire earth, so Hastur teamed up with Cthurgia to attack his brother; As for Cthugha, it can be regarded as a very pure old ruler, because as a fire ball, Cthugha only likes to stay in places with high temperatures, preferably a star that is constantly burning like the sun. So Cthurgia didn't plan to attack Cthulhu at the beginning, because it lived well on the sun."

"But after hearing that Cthulhu was planning to turn the earth into a water ball, Cthurgia couldn't help it, because for Cthulgah, the sun is the master bedroom of his home, so the earth is the second bedroom. , so it can stay there for a few days if it has nothing to do, but this time the bed is going to be flooded, which is unbearable for Cthugha, who doesn't like water; plus Hastur and Cthugha Their relationship was already good, so they hit it off immediately and directly brought Bayaki and the Spirit of Fire to join the battlefield, eventually sealing Cthulhu and putting it into a permanent sleep. However, Cthurgia was also seriously injured as a result. He had to retreat to Fomalhaut in defeat, and there were even rumors that Cthurgia had to go to Fomalhaut because he was sealed."

Liu Xing nodded when he heard this, because it was mentioned in the setting of Cthulhu Mythos that the reason why Cthurgia stayed in Fomalhaut was probably because he was sealed by an ancient god. , it is also possible that he is a homebody in Fomalhaut for other reasons, but as a big fireball, Cthurgia seems to have no desires or desires, so it can stay in one place without moving for tens of thousands of years. There is no problem, so Cthurgia at this time is like Schrödinger's cat. Unless you can see it with your own eyes at Fomalhaut, you can't be sure whether it is free or sealed.

"But judging from the current situation, Cthugha was indeed sealed in Fomalhaut, but the seal on it was not that strong, so Cthugha transferred the seal to Hastur's But this seal has become weaker after being transferred once, so Hastur can get rid of this seal in as little as a few years; but we are not sure whether Hastur intentionally took over Kthug. The seal of Asia was still calculated by Cthurgia, because the reason why Cthurgia was sealed in Fomalhaut was because Hastur called it to deal with Cthulhu, so Hastur If you still want to cooperate with Cthugha, you have to apologize to Cthugha first.”

Alice shook her head and said with some confusion: "My master is also very curious about what Hastur wants to do when he goes to find Cthurgia again at this time, because there are not many things that require the action of two old rulers. , and except for some of the old rulers who are related by blood, the other old rulers almost never interact with each other. It would be nice to be able to talk to each other, let alone cooperate. "

"Um?"

Liu Xing frowned and suddenly thought of another old ruler - Sathoggua. It seemed to have been ready to move decades ago. It seemed that it wanted to lift the seal and reappear in the world!

So this parallel world seems to be a bit like a chaotic dance of demons, because there are not so many old rulers who are about to be born! Liu Xing alone knows about Cthulhu and Tsatogua, as well as Hastur and Cthugua that Alice mentioned now, as well as Itaqua, who has been wandering in the Arctic Circle, and his clones. Glaki appeared and was knocked back.

In addition, Liu Xing still remembers the God of the Internet who has run into the real world and has not reached the level of the Old Dominator, as well as the half of the Old Dominator that the Mi.Ge family has been carefully cultivating. —Gadamon didn’t know if he would come out to join in the fun at this time.

As for the Night Stalker, that's another matter.
