"I was indeed rash."
Cthulhu nodded in agreement and gently combed his messy green hair.
"For humans, immediate benefits are the most important. It's not realistic for you to make empty promises about the future.”
Rope's guess was right.
If he had agreed to Cthulhu's suggestion in a moment of excitement, the contract divine art in this temple would have bound him to the Cthulhu Divine Branch at the cost of his soul. No matter how high his achievements were in the future, whether he was willing or not, it would bring unimaginable benefits to the Cthulhu Divine Branch.
It was a good plan.
"Although I'm obsessed with the various secret techniques in Cthulhu's myths, I have no intention of joining them at the moment.”
Rope retreated and bowed. "It's a great honor to be able to summon you, but I still have a mission to complete in the real world. Please send me away.”
"Don't be so anxious. The Timeline here is different from the outside world.”
Cthulhu's finger tapped lightly, and two seats facing each other rose up from the green slate.
She sat down first and made an inviting gesture to Rope.
"Because I have the restrictions of the rules, I will not use force to make you submit. Moreover, you only asked me what benefits I could give you just now. You didn't completely reject me, right?”
To put it bluntly, this young female Evil God had seen more intelligent life forms in her countless years of life than the number of rice grains that Rope had eaten. Of course, she could see that Rope was not refusing to become a member of her own God System. Instead, she was concerned about what benefits there would be at this stage if she agreed.
If there was demand, there would be negotiation. If they could negotiate, they would have a chance.
"What conditions can you give me?”Rope asked cautiously.
"Hmm…Let me think."
Cthulhu tapped his chin and pondered for a while before smiling.
"Why don't I let you be my 'Son of God'?”
The Son of God? Rope frowned.
To put it bluntly, if it was any other god system, such as Greek mythology or Chinese mythology, who told him this, he would definitely agree with it. This was because as long as he became the Son of God of these gods, there would definitely be great benefits. Not to mention the various mystical bonuses, just the special abilities alone would be extremely awesome. Without a doubt, it was the most suitable for Rope's current needs.
However, this was the Cthulhu Divine Branch…
The divine sons of this Divine Branch were famous for being weak. According to the records of the Dunwich Horror Incident, one of the twin divine sons of Yggsotos, one of the three pillar gods in Cthulhu mythology, was bitten to death by a dog, and the other was shot down by a human with a shotgun…
What nonsense! I don't want such a weak 'divine child'!
"Are you kidding me?”
"It seems like you have some misunderstanding about the 'Son of God' of the Cthulhu myth.”
Cthulhu could tell what Lope was thinking at a glance and explained simply.
"If it's about the Watley brothers. Then, Rope, you have misunderstood. They are but Yuge. Sothoth's chaotic manifestation did not possess divinity, so it could only be called an Alien. I would not be so stingy as to give the Chosen One the principle of divinity.”
"Thank you for your trouble."
After saying so much, Rope was still not interested. Perhaps it was a natural sense of vigilance, but he suspected that if the so-called divinity entered his body, he would become a puppet.
Sorry, I don't buy it. Next.
"Still not satisfied?"
Logically speaking, after being rejected twice in a row, even a good god with a good mentality should be a little angry. However, as an evil god, Cesu acted as if nothing had happened. He continued to think about the conditions that could move LLope.
"Picky little brat, since you're so suspicious, I'll give you some support in a secondary sense. You won't have any objections, right?”
As she spoke, she even winked playfully.
It had to be said that this evil god learned very quickly. From the expressionless face at the beginning to the smiling eyes now. If not for the fact that he was in the other party's temple, Rope would have treated this evil god as a real girl.
"Sure." Rope thought for a moment. This was acceptable.
"However, Your Majesty Cthulhu, why do you care so much about me? No matter how I become in the future, I'm just a mere human now.”
"Although you rejected my proposal, it doesn't stop me from expressing my goodwill to you.”
Cthulhu gave a vague answer, which was basically nothing.
From behind her, azure divine power rose like smoke, converging into threads that entered Lope's body, constantly granting him the protection of the rules.
RRope held his breath, and the system's pop-up window appeared in front of him again.
You have obtained the B-rank title,'Protector of the Sea God.' You have the ability to walk on water and breathe freely in the water. You can draw magic power from the water.'
[You have obtained the C-rank title,'Wave Tramper'. All aquatic creatures will be under your control (Extraordinary creatures are not included).]
[You have obtained the A-rank title,' Messengers of Disorder.'It was personally taught by the Evil God. You will not lose your mind when using Cthulhu's secret technique.'
Three bullets in a row, some of which knocked Rope to the ground.
Title?
How refreshing. Why didn't I know before…
Rope fiddled with the magazine in front of him and carefully observed them one by one.
After a while, he finally understood that this title ability was similar to a superpower. In the words of online games, it was a passive skill that could only provide support.
What the hell is this? System, you didn't even tell me such an important thing. Rope thought unhappily.
He had misunderstood the system. Titles were not something that could be obtained easily. Just like in some fantasy movies, some people were born not afraid of fire, some were born to understand the dragon language, and some were even born to be cheaters. No matter what they did, they were all top-notch. Without a higher level of bestowment, ordinary people would never be able to obtain these special abilities in their entire lives.
"Are you satisfied?" Cthulhu asked with a smile. "This kind of thing should be what you need the most now, right, Rope?”
"…I am truly grateful for your generosity.”
Lope stood up solemnly and bowed to Cthulhu.
"Since both of us have achieved our goals, I won't keep you.”
The green-haired female Evil God stood up and picked up her scepter made of coral from the side. She gently drew a circle in the air. Following the trace, clear water emerged and gradually gathered into the shape of a door.
After releasing the World Portal, Cthulhu revealed a charming smile again.
"If you want to leave, then leave. I look forward to our next meeting.”
"I'm honored."
After saying that, Rope did not stay. He strode away from the God's Kingdom that gave him a bad feeling. He felt that if he did not leave now, his body would definitely be filled with the smell of fish.
Overall, this was not a bad ending. Rope thought in satisfaction.
After
a long time, when the temple calmed down, Cthulhu was still sitting on the seat formed by the stone steps.
In the hall where the stone pillars stood, a tall fish-shaped figure appeared.
"Great Eternal Sleepers, this is the only one who has been chosen in thousands of years. Why didn't you force him to stay? If it was you…" Dagon asked in confusion.
"Don't be impatient."
The green-haired evil god girl calmly wiped the scepter in her hand and said expressionlessly.
"It's a little troublesome to keep him, but I can do it. However, the effect would be greatly reduced. If he wanted to corrupt his mind, he had to do it step by step. The bond between Cthulhu and him would not disappear. Besides, the candidate is too precious. We can only slowly let the chaos seep into his bones.”
She paused and said.
"After all, we have a lot of time to weave it, don't we? My servant."
"Yes, Your Excellency…"
Dagon slowly left the temple and returned to the gates of R'lyeh, continuing his mission that had lasted for thousands of years.
There was only one existence left in the hall, the supreme Sea God, the eternal slumbering Dream Wanderer.
"The human body... is surprisingly good..."
