Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

The two of them argued back and forth, and their complaints against Nyarlathotep and Nodens grew stronger and stronger.

This is not surprising. They are not the kind of people who are willing to be manipulated by others. They will certainly be unhappy to know that someone dares to dictate their lives, or that someone has influenced them because of their own reasons.

Especially Lucifer, because of his personality, he also thought that Nodens had an additional crime, that is, he was not the first candidate selected as the ancient god, not even the second, which was undoubtedly a denial of him.

So they decided to march north together.

It doesn’t matter how powerful the ancient gods are, or how profound the influence of the old days is.

Elite?

What I am fighting is the elite!

Nodens, who didn't know he had been sentenced to death at this time, noticed that Jiang Lu's mental state had stabilized. He thought he had calmed down and figured it out, so he felt relieved.

Of course, this cannot be blamed on his naivety. In his opinion, Jiang Lu had no choice at all.

He is an ancient god who loves peace. Everything he does is to fight against the destroyers of peace, the Old Ones. Some sacrifices are naturally inevitable for this. It is true that you, Jiang Lu, have been wronged, but as the lord of the underworld, you must have a sense of the overall situation and be able to distinguish right from wrong, right?

So even if you die because of me and live your life over again, you should still stand firmly by my side, right?

Therefore, he never considered that Jiang Lu would regard himself as an enemy, which was beyond his understanding.

But he didn't know that Jiang Lu and Lucifer, two rebels weighing about 300 pounds together, never cared about these things.

Lao Jiang is lawless and only does things according to his own principles. Lao Lu is even more heavyweight. He broke up with God because God asked him to condescend to be Adam's nanny, but he was not happy about it. He simply said, "If I can't stay here, I'll find another way." In another context, he would be like the Monkey King who was unwilling to raise horses and went down to the mortal world to become a demon. Then, he was not suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain, but instead became a successful competitor against God.

In their eyes, you are wrong if you cheat me.

Don’t say that we don’t consider the overall situation. We will deal with Nyarlathotep, but you can’t escape either. If you provoke us, you will be in trouble!
So Nordens, who thought he had moved Jiang Lu with his sincerity, revealed his plan in detail.

"If I can successfully seal Nyarlathotep, I will leave you clues at that time. If you encounter him again, you may be able to deal with him on your own."

Hearing this, Lucifer thought about it seriously and said, "In this case, I think the sentence can be reduced."

Jiang Lu nodded: "Change the suspended death sentence to life imprisonment."

At this moment, everything in front of Jiang Lu and Lucifer's eyes became frozen, and then the black matter in the distance began to spread rapidly until it filled the entire world.

"Well, the material is lost. It looks like there's nothing to watch from here on out."

After that, Jiang Lu drove Lucifer to the next critical time node mentioned by Nodens - the time when Nyarlathotep was sealed.

In Jiang Lu's impression, it was Zeus who first used his body to bind it, and then brought it to the Dreamland, and then Nodens and the Hyperborean gods who were imprisoned by Nyarlathotep sealed it together.

But when Jiang Lu arrived at the time when Nyarlathotep was sealed, he found something unusual.

The dreamland at this moment was empty, and no one existed at this point in time. Not only that, the originally pure dreamland was now filled with a dirty haze.

"What's going on? Are you in the wrong place?"

There's something strange about Lucifer.

Jiang Lu was also a little confused.

But having had this experience once before, he immediately knew the reason.

"I understand. In this memory, or history, Nyarlathotep was not sealed."

"Are you kidding? Isn't this your memory?" Lucifer was puzzled: "How can your memory be wrong?"

"I don't know why this happened, but I know I have to correct it, and that's why I'm here."

Jiang Lu did not hesitate. He drove the [Friendship Boat] and turned back time to the time when he dealt with Nyarlathotep.

"It should be here." Jiang Lu stopped the boat and looked down.

Nyarlathotep, who had been poisoned by Neti, no longer had any human form.

He became a puddle of black mud, struggling in pain on the ground.

Everything up to this point was consistent with the scene in Jiang Lu's memory.

According to the script, the next step is for him to threaten Nodens and try to gain a chance to escape at the cost of detonating the planet.

Then, Zeus voluntarily allowed himself to be infected by Jiang Lu, and then used him as a vessel to swallow Nyarlathotep, and everything was perfect.

But for some reason, Zeus and Jiang Lu were not here. They went to the Sleeping Labyrinth to rescue the Hyperborean gods who were imprisoned by Nyarlathotep. Only Nyarlathotep and Nodens, as well as the elk goddess Ihwuti who had not yet turned into a container, were left.

The next second, Nyarlathotep suddenly rose up and swallowed up Ihwuti, devouring it and turning it into another incarnation of himself.

"Of course I'm just kidding!" Nyarlathotep laughed wildly at the dumbfounded Nodens.

"I knew you would show up, so I found her as my substitute. It turns out that body was something I was planning to throw away, so I deliberately let you destroy it."

He was extremely proud and seemed to enjoy the moment of shocking Nordens.

Nyarlathotep, who had obtained a new incarnation, instantly burst out with even more terrifying strength than before, which was undoubtedly the best proof of what he had just said.

It wasn't a sudden idea on his part, but he had been prepared for it!

The weak incarnation just now should have been eliminated long ago, but it was still used by Nyarlathotep at the last moment and became the best prop to lure Nodens to appear.

"I don't care about Hyperborean and those so-called gods. It's just a barren land and a bunch of false gods. It's not worth my making a fuss. I'm not afraid to tell you that soon this planet and those false gods will be reduced to ashes in the explosion."

Nyarlathotep twisted his neck and stretched his muscles.

"Then I will drag you here, and then my people will invade the Dreamland!"

Hearing this, Nodens was shocked: "This is impossible, you don't even know where the Dreamland is!"

"Then you are too confident. There are many things you don't know!"

Nyarlathotep did not explain at all. Seeing that Nodens was about to retreat, he immediately moved forward and launched a series of attacks that could be considered top-level forbidden techniques in any world.

Nodens used his immense divine power to barely hold back.

But he was not sure whether what Nyarlathotep said was true or not. Nodens, who was concerned about the Dreamland, did not want to waste time here. He just wanted to escape from the battle and return to defense. He did not have much will to fight, so the situation was reversed for a while.

As gorgeous as Nordens was when he first appeared, he looked so miserable now.

But even if he was just parrying, the power he unleashed when he raised his hands and feet was enough to make even the true gods take notice.

This made Lucifer amazed: "I have never fought with God like this before."

Although he was not incapable of doing what the two men in front of him were doing, he would probably have to exert all his strength to achieve such power. He would never be like Nyarlathotep and Nodens, who looked so relaxed that they seemed to be fighting for 300 rounds with such intensity. Lucifer and God did not get along, but it was more of a back-and-forth confrontation between his subordinates. Following the logic of "kings should not meet kings", the two had never fought one-on-one as neither side was ready until today.

But Jiang Lu has a say in this matter.

Compared with the battle between the two at this moment, his life-and-death battle with Yuanshi Tianzun seemed to be just a brief exchange.

However, such a shocking scene did not make the two people who had just decided to fight against the ancient gods and the old days together retreat. Instead, it made them yearn for it.

"If there really is a realm above the True God, then even if the two of them haven't reached it yet, they're probably not far away."

Lucifer trembled with excitement:
"This is the strength I need, only this way can I keep my head up!"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Lu clenched his tentacles: "The realm above the True God does exist, but I didn't expect it to be so great!"

Judging from the current situation, Nyarlathotep has the upper hand, but it is impossible for him to defeat Nodens in a short period of time. If this continues, it is unknown how long the fight will last, but what is certain is that Nodens will not be able to seal Nyarlathotep.

As for Zeus's clone and Jiang Lu who went to the Sleeping Labyrinth to rescue the Hyperborean gods, they would soon die in the explosion and disappear along with the planet.

This is something that Jiang Lu would not allow to happen, and it is also history that is clearly contrary to his memory.

Jiang Lu on the boat took a deep breath and said, "It seems that I have to use the great memory modification technique."

"Are you going to change history?" Lucifer looked at Jiang Lu expectantly.

“Hmph.” Jiang Lu sneered: “It’s useless no matter how powerful you are. This is my memory. I am the noble authority dog!”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a few unobservable threads from the void.

Having had this experience, he already knew how to set things right and get everything back on track.
Jiang Lu, who was rushing to the Sleeping Labyrinth with Zeus, suddenly stopped.

"Hmm?" Zeus was surprised. "What's wrong?"

"It suddenly occurred to me that it would take a long time for the two of us to dig the maze. Why don't we go back and join in the fun? After watching Nyarlathotep being killed by Nodens, we can let Nodens dig the maze. Why should we do the dirty work ourselves?"

Zeus was amazed: "That makes sense, are you really a genius?"

The two men returned to the bushes and squatted down, and then saw Nyarlathotep take away Ihwuti's body and reveal his evil plan to Nodens.

"Damn it's a good thing I didn't go." Jiang Lu patted his chest happily.

"Who says it's not?" Zeus nodded happily.

After thinking for a while, Zeus became anxious again: "But we have to do something, right? They are fighting so fiercely, and time is running out."

"Why are you so anxious?" Jiang Lu rolled his eyes. "Have you forgotten that Nyarlathotep was originally infected by Ihwuti?"

"You mean"

"It's not good to choose anyone. I have to choose Ihewuti as the container."

Jiang Lu smiled evilly and began to remotely control Neti's poison to attack Ihewuti's body: "It's unlucky for you to be forced to raise someone."

After doing all this, Jiang Lu on the boat shook his numb tentacles and said, "Take it down!"

At the same time, Nyarlathotep, who was extremely arrogant and was still suppressing Nodens's fierce attack, suddenly changed his expression: "What's going on?"

He suddenly realized something and looked up abruptly, just like Nodens had done in the dream before, looking at the empty sky.

The next second, the world in front of Jiang Lu and Lucifer became foggy, and everything was frozen in the previous moment.

"Huh?" Lucifer, who was clapping, noticed something strange and looked around in confusion.

Jiang Lu didn't understand what was going on either, so he looked down subconsciously.

When he lowered his head, he saw a face that was all too familiar.

That was the appearance of a little boy that Nyarlathotep had manifested before him when he first entered the spiritual realm.

When the little boy saw Jiang Lu's face clearly, a strong anger appeared on his face. Then, his skin began to melt as if it was splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid. His whole body changed from solid to flowing liquid. Soon, a cone-shaped monster with no face, arms with tentacle-like appendages, and a constantly flowing body appeared in front of Jiang Lu.

The twisting tendrils and drooling, screaming mouths, millions of rope-like tendrils constantly squirming and twisting, and the stench that came to his face almost overwhelmed Jiang Lu.

"They say the old days never lie to the old days. Where the hell did you come from? How dare you harm me?!"

He roared at Jiang Lu.

This scene made Jiang Lu so nervous that he was speechless.

Lucifer was also at a loss, but with the experience of Nodens, he had some experience.

"Don't panic, he can't see us." Lucifer nudged Jiang Lu with his wings.

Jiang Lu reacted and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but Nyarlathotep became even angrier: "I can see you guys! A country bumpkin from nowhere, and a bastard fallen angel!!"

"Hiss——" Lucifer took a breath of cold air.

Jiang Lu forced himself to calm down: "How can you see me?"

"Nonsense, I have a boat too! How could I not see it?" Nyarlathotep slapped the boat hard, making it shaky. "You ruined my plan, you know that?!"

"But." Jiang Lu felt like a thief who was caught doing something bad, and explained with a guilty conscience: "Shouldn't things that contradict memory be changed?"

Nyarlathotep was stunned when he heard this, and the anger on his face disappeared instantly.

He knew the principles and rules of changing history in the spiritual realm, so he immediately understood what Jiang Lu's words meant.

He looked stunned: "You mean, I put so much effort into this, but in the end it's all in vain?"

Seeing the reversal, Jiang Lu calmed down and became more confident.

"You know, the Theorem of the Son of Fortune."

He patted Lucifer and winked at him:
"Let me introduce you. This is the Son of Luck. Come and say hello."

Lucifer understood what he meant, stretched out his wings, and tried to shake hands with Nyarlathotep: "Hello, old brother."

"So don't make it difficult for me. I am also following the rules." Jiang Lu gave Nyarlathotep an apologetic smile and said, "If everything is fine, we will leave first."

Just as he was about to flee the crime scene, Nyarlathotep caught him.

"Wait." (End of this chapter)
