The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

After a moment, she said helplessly, "Alright, since you've said so, I'll have someone check the coordinates of the Second-Rank Temple."

While everyone was still processing this bombshell...

Jiang Shu seemed to suddenly remember something, her previously dull eyes brightening.

Suddenly, a glimmer of both fear and anticipation flashed across my mind.

She cautiously approached Gu Xu, glancing around furtively like a thief, before lowering her voice to ask, "Um... Your Highness, since you're already level 25..."

"That professional talent must have been refreshed too, right?"

"You mean the servant of calamity?"

Gu Xu nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Jiang Shu nodded repeatedly, a hint of hesitation on her face: "What does your third summoned creature... look like?"

It's no wonder Jiang Shu is so sensitive.

The previous "Twitch, the source of the plague" had left such a deep psychological scar on this girl.

That big rat covered in pustules and oozing venom everywhere.

It remains a frequent visitor in her nightmares to this day.

While the first "ghost bride" was breathtakingly beautiful, the second was utterly hideous.

This filled Jiang Shu with uncertainty about the third one.

"Is she a cool and aloof older sister like the Ghost Bride? Or is she like that stinky rat...?"

Jiang Shu swallowed hard, not daring to finish her sentence.

Su Qiong and Zhang Xinxin also perked up their ears at this moment.

After all, each of Gu Xu's summoned creatures is a formidable weapon capable of standing alone.

This third "calamity" is definitely a strategic-level existence.

Gu Xu looked at Jiang Shu, who seemed both afraid and eager to see.

I couldn't help but smile.

"Actually, I haven't summoned it yet."

Gu Xu truthfully replied, "I was just focused on pretending... cough cough, I leveled up! The quota was refreshed and I haven't had a chance to use it yet."

"Huh? It hasn't been summoned yet..."

Jiang Shu was somewhat disappointed, but then became excited again: "How about now? There's no time like the present, and the place is big enough, why don't we take a look?"

"OK."

Gu Xu wasn't the type to hide anything.

He was also very curious about this third calamity from the river of time.

Who exactly is this person?

Especially after experiencing the "Abyss Devouring" and transforming into the phantom of Cthulhu.

He vaguely sensed that this third summoned creature should be inextricably linked to the "Old Days" and the "Abyss".

"Step back a little."

Gu Xu waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

Su Qiong and the others immediately understood and retreated more than 100 meters away. Zhang Xinxin also activated several small defensive force fields.

After all, Gu Xu's summoning rituals are always incredibly elaborate and grand.

Gu Xu closed his eyes.

"Talent - Servant of Calamity, activated!"

Gu Xu silently recited this in his heart.

[Command confirmed...Communicating with the calamity node in the river of time...]

[In response to your call, a fervent believer of the Lord of the Old Ones is awakening...]

"Buzz—!!"

There was no foul-smelling green mist like when Twitch was summoned, nor the sky full of red paper like when the Bride of the Demon was summoned.

This time, it was a pure, soul-stirring spatial fluctuation.

The space in front of Gu Xu suddenly shattered like a mirror.

A pitch-black crack appeared out of nowhere.

But the crack did not heal; instead, it seemed to have been forcibly opened by some force.

A cold, slippery wind carrying an ancient, decaying scent.

It blew out from the crack.

At that moment, the light in the sky seemed to be sucked into the crack.

The area around the square became dark.

"They're here..."

Gu Xu opened his eyes, and a strange purple light was reflected in his pupils.

No humanoid creature emerged from the crack.

The first thing to emerge were several incredibly thick tentacles, their surfaces covered with dark red blood vessels and tumors.

These tentacles danced wildly in the air.

Each swing produced a sickening whistling sound as it cut through the air.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal, suffocating figure slowly emerged from the void.

It was a giant eyeball.

To be precise, it is a giant fleshy ball with a diameter of more than ten meters, suspended in mid-air.

But on the front of this fleshy ball is a single eye that takes up two-thirds of its body area.

That single eye did not contain a pupil, but rather a purple nebula that seemed to contain an endless abyss.

And around the fleshy ball.

It contains countless tiny, still-wriggling eyeballs and grooves resembling brain tissue.

A dozen tentacles swayed beneath it like the hem of a skirt, and at the end of each tentacle was a mouth full of sharp teeth that was constantly opening and closing.

It hissed softly.

【The Eye of the Past】

It hovered quietly three meters above Gu Xu's head, its enormous single eye slowly rotating.

Finally, the focus shifted to Su Qiong and the others in the distance.

"vomit--"

Jiang Shu only glanced at it, but it felt like she had been hit on the back of the head with a heavy hammer, and her face turned pale instantly.

He covered his mouth and began to dry heave.

This is more than just visually disgusting.

It is also a form of spiritual pollution.

Those densely packed tiny eyeballs, those constantly wriggling lumps, and that enormous single eye that seemed to see through all the dark sides of a person's heart.

It's an absolutely insane trampling of human reason.

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Su Qiong also felt her scalp tingle and goosebumps rise all over her body.

She was a veteran of countless battles and had seen many grotesque monsters.

But no creature has ever been like this.

This caused her to experience a physiological aversion.

This is a pure aggregate of chaos and evil.

"So this is... a summon from the Old Days series?"

Gu Xu looked at the huge thing above his head and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

On the contrary, I found the purple light quite welcoming.

With a casual wave of his hand, he shared the new partner's attribute panel with everyone.

"Stop throwing up, take a look at the stats first, this is a powerful support character."

Gu Xu kindly reminded him.

Jiang Shu endured the dizziness that was causing her sanity to plummet, and shakily raised her head.

He looked at the virtual panel in mid-air.

However, upon seeing this, her heart nearly stopped beating.
