Chapter 227 The Evil God Cthulhu Is Out? !
Secret underground chamber.
Chen Yu was bored and playing with the little elves.
After defeating all the bosses a couple of days ago, the dungeon quest had already ended.
Now it was time for free exploration.
The entire map was restricted to the vicinity of the royal city.
Without destroying the royal city, they couldn't find any hidden plot to explore.
Xiao Yan and Xiao Feng were chasing and playing, causing the secret chamber to be in a mess.
Apart from the portraits that Chen Yu specified not to destroy, there were not many intact things.
The female attendants ignored the little elves and worshipped the portraits on their own.
"What is this?" Xiao Yan stood on top of the white-robed attendant's head, tiptoed, bent forward, and curiously looked at the portrait.
"This is the will of the gods!" The white-robed attendant unusually responded to Xiao Yan.
"Oh! It looks so powerful!" Xiao Yan also knelt on top of the white-robed attendant's head and respectfully bowed.
Chen Yu was amazed.
What level of existence was a Primordial Elf?
Compared to them, the so-called gods were nothing.
If placed in a world where causality was more rampant, this god might have been worshipped to death by her.
"Don't you find it strange?" Chen Yu poked the most exclusive Xiao Miao and pointed at Xiao Yan, asking.
"Why should it be strange?" Xiao Miao asked in confusion.
"You are the daughters of the World Tree, noble Primordial Elves, right? How can you casually worship some inexplicable things?" Chen Yu complained.
Although Xiao Yan was a child who liked to play and fool around, she was still a Primordial Elf and not ignorant of everything.
Their lofty status meant that they couldn't bow down to lower-level beings.
"Um~" Xiao Miao pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know, but I just don't find it strange."
"Is that so?" Chen Yu randomly pointed to a painting, "Do you think this thing can make you worship?"
"No!" Xiao Miao answered without hesitation.
"What about this one?" Chen Yu pointed to another painting.
"No, it can't either." Xiao Miao shook her head.
"What about this?" Chen Yu pointed to a piece of broken table scattered on the ground.
"It doesn't matter." Xiao Miao tilted her head and answered, "It's just some meaningless things."
"Understood." Chen Yu nodded.
There are two situations for bowing down.
One is to express high respect or even belief, and the other is meaningless playfulness.
The table fragments don't represent any existence, so the little elves feel no contradiction in worshipping them.
It's like a person kneeling on a bed and knocking their head against the wall, which is a nonsensical joke.
But things that represent certain existences are different.
A monk wouldn't bow to a statue of Jehovah.
A Christian wouldn't pray in front of a Buddha statue.
From Xiao Miao's answer, these portraits on the wall should represent some kind of existence.
Something that can make Primordial Elves show respect must have a status far higher than their own.
"What Delia believes in is not simple." Chen Yu pinched her chin and pondered.
"By the way, look for those portraits that you think you can worship."
"Um, okay~"
Xiao Miao turned around in circles, carefully observing each portrait.
In the end, she pointed to a clearly scribbled painting, "Apart from that one, only this!"
Chen Yu came to the painting and observed it carefully.
The painting used many colors of paint.
But every stroke quickly lost its clear direction after being drawn.
It's as if someone is writing, but after putting the pen down, they suddenly feel that they made a mistake and directly erase it.
In the end, Chen Yu can only conclude that this is a meaningless item.
After all, its hanging position is in a corner, the kind that is difficult to notice.
Furthermore, various lines tangled together like a mess, it's hard to call it a "painting".
The scroll that the female attendants kneel and worship, at least has two clear and distinct lines.
If we diverge our thinking a bit, we can interpret it as "two Great Dao" or even "one Great Dao".
In front of the painting, the female attendants are praying, and Xiao Yan is also pretending to pray.
Occasionally, some words pop out of her little mouth,
"I hope Mom has more sisters."
"I hope Mom brings me along when she plays with the master."
"I hope there's something delicious and fun every day," and so on.
Chen Yu's face darkens as he grabs her and stuffs her into his pocket, so she doesn't continue to embarrass herself.
"Sir!"
The white-clad female attendant suddenly stands up.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yu asks.
The white-clad female attendant takes out the Book of Crests and flips to the communication emblem.
"Your Highness... has returned."
"What? Delia is here?" Chen Yu's expression brightens. "Where is she? Take me to find her!"
"No need!" The white-clad female attendant shakes her head. "Your Highness has already arrived!"
"Arrived?" Chen Yu instinctively looks towards the door of the secret room.
A faint sound of footsteps gradually becomes clear.
Then, the door of the secret room is pushed open.
Delia, dressed in white gauze, enters the secret room with an elegant smile.
"Your Highness!"
More than ten female attendants bow to Delia.
"It really is a seamless continuation of the plot."
Chen Yu observes Delia.
He finds that she is definitely the same as the one in the "Great Battle" instance.
Even the dirt on the hem of her dress, as well as the blood and mud on her gloves, are exactly the same.
Delia nods to the female attendants, "You've done well."
Then, she comes in front of Chen Yu, lifts her skirt and kneels, calling out, "Sir."
"Wait, what did you call me?" Chen Yu is surprised.
"Sir!" Delia repeats again.
"You called me sir?" Chen Yu feels somewhat incredulous.
His identity is higher than Delia's? What kind of joke is this?
Could it be that the existence Delia worships is the Human Church, and this existence supported her in carrying out the operation to kill the queen?
And he, is a person of high authority in this church, here to assist Delia?
"Do you have any questions, sir?" Delia asks in confusion.
"Who am I? What is my identity? Tell me," Chen Yu curiously asks.
"You... represent the will of the great existence in the mortal world."
"Great existence? Which great existence? This one?" Chen Yu points to the female attendants and the portrait Delia worships.
"No, no, no!" Delia's face shows panic as she shakes her head repeatedly.
"The existence of Him, as lowly as I am, cannot be described."
"I have tried, but..."
"Every time I try to recall Him, record Him, an Anomaly occurs, as if the whole world will be erased."
"Until later, I only remember that there is such an existence, but I have forgotten all His information."
Delia walks to the messy graffiti, revealing a look of longing and reverence.
"Looking at it will cause an explosion? Thinking about it will cause a mutation? An indescribable existence? What Cthulhu Great Old One?!"
Chen Yu's eyes widen in an instant.
