Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 148 Heirs
As soon as Mu Xiang stepped into the dark void behind the wooden door, he realized something was wrong... but this also confirmed one of his guesses.

Having reached his current level, Mu Xiang can intuitively sense anomalies in his environment and enemies. Even without concrete evidence, this intuition is enough to guide him in many things.

He was now certain that the real world and Hobbes Town were not the same world, and that the church was not dependent on the real world either.

The actual location of this church is not in Hobbes town. "The Horror of Hobbes" mentions that the church is cursed by evil. Clearly, the church Mu Xiang entered is not the same as the one mentioned in the novel.

The church was given an evil meaning by Sat Cain, and then the Great Old Ones descended upon this fantasy world, turning the church into a path to the abyss.

Sutter Kane is both a person of the real world and the creator of a fantasy world, and is also endowed with the abilities of the Great Old Ones. Simply saying he can rewrite reality doesn't explain why the characters in the book can change the real world... This is exactly the opposite of the so-called box theory.

Under the authority of the Great Old Ones, Sat Kane, seated in the church, is the intersection of three worlds. This allows him to rely on the Great Old Ones, writing fantastical stories that then influence the real world. This is also why, after the manuscript was destroyed, its essence split into three points of light, each flying in a different direction…

Those were all intercepted by the Old Ones, the essence of the world... or rather, a thread of the principle of planes.

This is the information Mu Xiang received after stepping through the wooden door... The chaotic information was mixed with his own speculations, making it difficult for him to distinguish which were his own deductions.

And behind this wooden door lies the world of the Great Old Ones!
"Is the abyss... a bottomless abyss?"

The information from the origin of the world made Mu Xiang realize that this world is an abyss.

If it's not another minor dimension trying to take advantage of the situation, then when it comes to the abyss in the infinite multiverse, the real target is still the bottomless abyss.

"Interesting... Nodens, an ancient god of the Dream Realm, or even the chief god, also has the title of King of the Abyss, Lord of the Great Abyss... Could there really be a connection?"

Thinking this, Mu Xiang suddenly paused, realizing that his thoughts had naturally transformed into sound and traveled far away. Because the dark void was extremely vast, his voice sounded somewhat unreal. Combined with the information transmission, it took him a moment to react.

"Truly impressive... The Supreme God really knows how to control the difficulty." Mu Xiang sneered. "If you were even slightly weaker, and hadn't unlocked your third-tier gene lock, you'd probably have your head burst from being bombarded with this kind of information, right?"

This world is abnormal; that's an obvious conclusion.

Not only Mu Xiang's thoughts and ideas are directly transformed into sound, but all the information in the entire world is a chaotic sound, like countless loudspeakers shouting in the dark void.

Unbeknownst to Mu Xiang, his eyes began to bloodshot again, albeit very slowly, but the change was undeniable...

"So what is this? Aren't you derivatives of a hidden existence? Are you remnants of the bottomless abyss?" Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "But why do you seem completely unable to communicate... Even the most chaotic and idiotic Void Lords can communicate."

Before he could finish speaking, the information that Mu Xiang had already received stopped broadcasting... The next moment, clusters of new information exploded out, revealing bizarre shapes.

Mu Xiang was certain he had seen the shapes, colors, and varying hues of the information, as well as the different colors produced by the explosions. He could only glance at it briefly to determine its content…

These are all messages from the Great Old Ones.

A frantic sense of danger rose in Mu Xiang's heart. This was the most intense one he had ever experienced since he developed his Kryptonian bloodline and entered the third stage of gene lock!
Fortunately, the void did not hinder him. The Limitless Sword Qi erupted recklessly, and in the next moment, Mu Xiang had already flashed to an unknown distance... This world is chaotic, and it must be a fragment of some plane. Here, all rules have been broken and mixed up, and no real distance has any meaning.

Mu Xiang could only move according to his combat instincts!
At his previous location, a mass of decaying gray matter and a gigantic humanoid figure enveloped in a raging storm appeared simultaneously, each many times larger than Mu Xiang. Then, a toad-shaped giant emerged from the gray matter, meeting a giant starfish falling from the "above" direction.

Clearly, their initial target was Mu Xiang, but after they collided, they penetrated and recombined with each other in an incomprehensible way, and were reborn, and then became entangled with each other.

The void trembled violently where they collided, and Mu Xiang confirmed at a glance that they were all fourth-tier!

“Apollos, Ithaca…Satocua, Vesialopus…”

Mu Xiang's expression was somewhat grim. He recognized some of them, while others had materialized into his mind upon seeing them. His right ear heard their varied murmurs and whispers, all of which were incomprehensible syllables.

But at the same time, a voice that Mu Xiang could understand rang in his left ear:

"……mine……"

"...Not allowed..."

"cost……"

"……leave……"

Amidst the rising and falling whispers, the four Great Old Ones who had collided began to wrestle with each other.

"It's you……"

A rotting mountain of flesh pressed down on Mu Xiang from above, sending him flying backward. He then saw the full extent of the mountain... It turned out to be an obese giant with limbs wrapped in alien material.

“Sharlasi Ho, the father of ghouls… No wonder.” Mu Xiang’s hands swirled with two streams of boundless sword energy, one pointing forward and the other backward. He coldly stared at the mountain of rotting flesh, clasping his hands together. “So all the rotting flesh that ghouls ate ended up in your body?”

The next moment, two sword energies, one positive and one negative, intertwined, tracing a twisted trajectory, and slammed into the top of the mountain of flesh. The sound of the sword energies colliding and tearing through the void became part of the information of this distorted world, and then transformed into a roaring celestial sound that reverberated throughout the entire world.

The mountain of flesh's head was instantly blasted apart, and countless pieces of rotting flesh rained down on Mu Xiang. Mu Xiang immediately fled. He hadn't heard the main god's warning, but he didn't have time to care whether the guy was dead or not.

Are you kidding me? You're still thinking about killing the Great Old Ones to rack up points?
The top priority is to eliminate the guys most closely connected to the invasion of reality, and the second priority is to find a way to escape... Kill them one by one. There are countless fourth-order beings, and just the sheer number of them can kill Mu Xiang!

To fight against multiple opponents on the enemy's home turf... and even against dozens or hundreds of them, Mu Xiang must be crazy, right?

"My offspring have arrived..."

When Mu Xiang heard this sentence in his left ear, he was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a pure darkness.

"Start with long and complex sentences?"

Mu Xiang muttered to himself, and then he understood what this guy meant...

It is the ancient and powerful Great Old One, the Dark and Silent One, the Cursed Shekun.

The more powerful the Great Old Ones, the more difficult it is for them to descend into the real world, much like a clandestine invasion from lower dimensions. The Great Old Ones in this world, however, send out their weakest members first. Unlike lower-dimensional invasions, if the real world is deeply eroded, the limitations on the planes' size become blurred, making it easier for the remaining Great Old Ones to descend.

This is why they had to let Sat Kane spread the corruption first, turning the infected into believers, and then let the weakest one go out first.

As one of the most powerful and rational Great Old Ones, the Cursed One spearheaded this plan and sent out its offspring. The offspring will descend into the real world using the fear of the believers, and then, through their shared identity and bloodline as Great Old Ones, will pull the Cursed One into the real world as well.

Its offspring are named...

Saigeya.

I had a full day of classes today, and an extra lecture tonight... but I arrived late.
