Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 150 Speculation and Breakthrough

Although Mu Xiang had become somewhat deranged, even more so than he had imagined, he still knew he couldn't waste his energy. When fighting any Great Old One, Mu Xiang would retreat immediately after a single contact, regardless of the difficulty.

Because there is no reward for destroying the forms of these ancient rulers... Mu Xiang could understand this, after all, they were only the bodies of fourth-order beings, not the forms of saints. It was reasonable for the main god not to give a reward if they were not completely killed.

What is the reason?

Mu Xiang knew from the information about this world that although he had come here, he and the Old Ones were still not on the same level, so he could not completely kill any of them. And since he was fighting on foreign soil, if he died, he would truly be dead.

This presents a contradiction: if Mu Xiang doesn't completely go mad and fully integrate into this world, he won't be able to kill the Old Ones; but if he does go completely mad and become a resident of this world, will he be removed from the list by the main god? Even if Mu Xiang were to go mad and kill the Old Ones, could he escape?
Therefore, Mu Xiang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​racking up points... Although as his mental state deteriorated, Mu Xiang increasingly wanted to unleash his primal desires, this ultimately did not bring any benefits.

"Damn it, I'd like to see if you can succeed..." Mu Xiang chuckled coldly, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the pure darkness swirling in the distance.

The reason Mu Xiang was so confident was that he was certain the Cursed Xie Kun could not cause him any real harm. After all, in the Cthulhu Mythos, creatures that see the Cursed Xie Kun are known to gouge out their own eyes.

Based on existing knowledge and information about the world, after these eyes were sacrificed to the Cursed Shekun, they were first absorbed by the concept of "darkness" in the instant of losing their eyes, and then became tainted with the concepts of destruction and death, which were transferred to the Cursed Shekun's offspring, Saigia.

That's how Seigia got her eyes...

But Mu Xiang felt no discomfort looking at the Cursed Xie Kun, which made him fearless. If the Cursed Xie Kun, one of the strongest, could not corrupt him, then what was there to fear about him, who was already somewhat insane? The other little guys were even less likely to succeed; probably only Great Old Ones like Nag and Yeb, who were no less powerful than the Cursed Xie Kun, could.

By absorbing the information, Mu Xiang also understood the nature of these ancient rulers of the infinite multiverse. They originated from a greater being, perhaps a hidden one, but Mu Xiang dared not think about it for the time being. In terms of their size, they were born equal to ordinary plane spirits, which was similar to the Titans.

However, while the Titans were formed from planar consciousness and planar spirits, the Great Old Ones have a fatal destructive effect on the rules of the planes. The various characteristics of the Great Old Ones are all obtained by usurping the rules of the planes, and then manifested in a distorted and irregular form.

This made Mu Xiang wonder if the Old Ones might be strange beings transformed from the corpses of Titans? After all, their magnitude and characteristics are similar yet opposite, and they might even have the same origin!
The infinitely diverse so-called Azathoth, if traced back to its true origin, isn't it simply the progenitor of the Titans?
Mu Xiang grinned maliciously and muttered to himself, "This is truly interesting. If we succeed this time, I'll definitely come back. I want to see what kind of relationship you have with the Abyss this time... If we perish, hehe, hahaha..."

The first step is to stop the invasion of the Cursed Xie Kun. If successful, they should be able to return to the real world. According to Mu Xiang's perception, the flow of time in the real world, Hobbs Town, and this abyss world are all different. Although for Mu Xiang, less than a night has passed since entering Hobbs Town, he cannot be certain how much time has passed in the real world.

Hopefully, God will give him at least a few days so he can plan something... After fighting these invaders, the Great Old Ones, for so long, he can't just leave empty-handed, can he?
Mu Xiang is going to try to redeem this world!
That's a reward of 15,000 reward points and an A-level side quest for everyone... It might even grant access privileges only available in "Infinite Dawn." As for whether Chu Hao's access was due to the Salvation, the Invader Team Battle, or a backdoor, he wasn't sure.

As far as Mu Xiang knew, the main god's reward determination should consider three aspects: first, the degree to which the plot was changed; second, the degree of salvation; and third, the elimination of factors that distorted the plane.

This plane has been thoroughly infiltrated by the Great Old Ones, so surely it needs to manifest the principles of civilization to seek help, right? Otherwise, is it a masochist? Or perhaps it prefers tentacles...?

Mu Xiang speculated that the optional task issued by the Main God from the beginning, namely destroying the manuscript of "The Trembling Black Hole," might correspond to eliminating the distorted factors, or at least part of it. Otherwise, why would the Main God offer such a generous reward to everyone?
"Just wait to go back...heh." Mu Xiang tore through the void, and immediately a shockwave of information reverberated through the abyss. He smashed the carapace of the Crab Lord, Basatan, with a single punch, sending it plummeting into the immeasurably distant void. Then, Mu Xiang kicked away the head of the Serpent Father, Ig, sending the hideous, forked head crashing into another group of Great Old Ones locked in a fierce struggle.

"You're not all fools after all..." Mu Xiang suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. In this world, no being's thoughts or intentions can be hidden. He understood the Old Ones' meaning, and the Old Ones understood his meaning as well. So, immediately after this maniacal laughter, more twisted bodies emerged from the void, each one blocking Mu Xiang's path.

The body of the cursed Xie Kun, which was far away, suddenly changed shape. It had been wandering in the void in a certain posture, but now it seemed to have found the entrance to the real world, or it seemed to have sensed the opportunity to be pulled by Saigeya!

It shot upwards in a conceptual sense, traversing immeasurable distances in a single motion, and then continued to drill upwards.

At this moment, the Ancient Rulers who were originally there to stop Mu Xiang, and those who had just emerged from the void, also surrounded him. The gazes and breaths of many strange beings, seemingly from nowhere, made Mu Xiang feel uneasy, but he remained fearless... If it really came down to a fight, few present could defeat him!

"Hahahahaha!"

The God of Beasts, whose body was composed of muscle tissue, soil, and alien matter, appeared before Mu Xiang. It grabbed Mu Xiang's hands, raised them above its head, and pulled the tiny humanoid figure to both sides.

Mu Xiang burst into laughter as he was lifted up. He felt the God of Beasts, Tyregg, pulling at the organic matter within his body, but he remained calm and stretched his arms out to the sides...

Amidst the resonance of golden ripples, boundless sword energy, and flesh, Tyregg's mountain-like body began to tear apart!
Mu Xiang bit his tongue, stopping the urge to tear it in half for amusement, then tossed the enormous body behind him. The torn body, splattered with a mixture of organic matter, soil, and some unknown substance, emitted an alluring aroma, immediately attracting dozens of Old Ones to surround it and devour the still-living God of Beasts.

The delicious aroma was something Mu Xiang sensed from the information he emitted in that instant... He didn't find it delicious or tempting, which meant there was still hope for him.

Looking at the countless Old Ones ahead and the Cursed Kelvin ascending upwards, Mu Xiang suddenly stopped his madness, closed his eyes, and twisted his hands together, one in front and one behind.

Just as he had torn apart Tyregg's strong body, Mu Xiang was about to try this technique again... He had never tried this level of skill before.

But his mental state at that moment gave him the greatest motivation...

Golden ripples and the Limitless Sword Qi circled around his arms on the left and right, respectively. Then, with Mu Xiang's roar, the two flowed into his body at the same time, triggering the Kryptonian energy that was already in his body. The energy split into two forms and erupted in the same entangled form!
Mu Xiang didn't consider this his own original skill; to put it bluntly, it was just an attempt to use physical resonance to generate bursts of energy... But it would be very useful!

His body trembled for a moment at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and the next instant, Mu Xiang's body burst forth with dazzling golden light—this was the outward release of Kryptonian energy that he could no longer suppress…

Then, Mu Xiang crossed an unknown distance and wrapped his arms around Xie Kun's twisted body!
Here I'll explain my concept of the infinitely diverse Great Old Ones.
