Chapter 124 Worshippers of Cthulhu, Deep One Transformation
Leaving Totsuki Academy, Hakuto didn't go home but went to the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Looking at Torikaze, who had a fawning smile on his face, Hakuto said to him, "Go get that Akita Kazuo for me."
"Yes!"
Soon, Kazuo appeared before Hakuto, showing the same fawning smile as Torikaze.
"I can make you into supernatural beings. But there will be certain risks. So I ask you, are you willing to take this risk? Of course, I won't force you. It's entirely voluntary."
For such a question, there was no need to hesitate. Torikaze and Kazuo immediately prostrated themselves.
"Please bestow this grace upon us."
These Yakuza's ingrained nature of worshipping the strong had never change.
So even though there was risk, Torikaze and Kazuo didn't hesitate at all.
Whether to gamble their lives to gain power… For Torikaze and Kazuo, there was no need to consider.
"Arrange for a successor. If you don't make it, he will continue to serve me."
"Yes!"
Torikaze immediately made arrangements. Before long, a young man in his twenties appeared before Hakuto. Upon seeing Hakuto, he immediately prostrated himself and bowed.
"This is my son, Yamaguchi Teiji. If I disappoint you, my son Teiji will continue to serve you."
Hakuto nodded without speaking. Two balls of black fog appeared in his palm.
With Cthulhu's permission to wield its power, Hakuto had the ability to transform people into Deep Ones.
Of course, it was just a possibility, not a certainty. So he told the two there was a certain risk. But since they were willing, Hakuto didn't mind at all. If they died, then they died.
One ball for each. The two black mists instantly fell upon Torikaze and Kazuo.
The next moment, Torikaze and Kazuo writhed in pain on the ground.
"Ah ah ah ah!!!!"
Piercing screams came from their mouths.
Teiji looked at his father's miserable state. Not only was he not worried, but his eyes were filled with fervor and hope.
Teiji also longed for this gift.
He looked at Hakuto, his eyes filled with fanaticism. Teiji knew that he too would have a chance.
As long as he served this great person before him, if he did well, he too could receive this great person's gift like his father.
Hakuto ignored the two people writhing in pain on the ground. He sat by the tea table and brewed some tea for himself.
This continued for over an hour. Torikaze and Kazuo had completely lost their human forms.
Now, these two man—no, these two being's bodies should be described as a kind of dusky green color, with white bellies.
Most of their bodies were smooth and slippery, but they had a high, scaly ridge on their backs.
Their forms had a vague resemblance to humans, but their heads were fish heads. On the fish heads were large, protruding eyeballs that never closed.
On both sides of their necks were constantly trembling gills. Their long arms and legs were webbed.
To be honest, their appearance was not very pleasing to the eye. And accompanied by a fishy smell, Hakuto waved his hand in disgust.
"Great one, we dedicate everything to you. We beg you to look upon us favorably."
With hoarse, sharp voices, Torikaze and Kazuo, transformed into Deep Ones, spoke fervently to Hakuto.
"Return to your original forms."
With Hakuto's words, their figures gradually returned to human form. But this was only on the surface. They had become "them".
Their essence was no longer human, but worshippers of Cthulhu… Deep Ones.
"Akita Kazuo, I have a task for you."
"Yes, please command."
Hakuto picked up a tea cup and took a sip, then put it down.
"Go to Britain and develop a power base there. I allow you to use any means necessary to develop your power. I can even give you some transformation quotas for you to use for bribery or anything else. I need you to develop a power capable of destabilizing Britain within three years. Can you do it?"
Kazuo was a talented person, so Hakuto didn't mind giving him some heavy responsibilities.
"Please leave it to me. I will never disappoint you."
"Then keep an eye on Sawamura Spencer Eriri. You know which one I mean, right? Watch her closely."
"Yes."
Hakuto put down his tea cup and then looked at Torikaze.
"You will continue to expand the power of the Yamaguchi-gumi. I want to have all of Japan shrouded in my shadow as soon as possible. Of course, I will also give you a few quotas. But my requirement for you is two years. In two years, I want you to make all the underworld forces in Japan my sole domain. Can you do it?"
Hearing Hakuto's request, Torikaze immediately replied, "Yes!"
Teiji, on the side, suddenly spoke, "My lord, if I can spread your shadow across Japan in a shorter time, can I receive your gift?"
"Of course. I will never treat unfairly those who have rendered meritorious service."
Teiji clenched his fist. His head thudded as it hit the tatami mat.
Hakuto stood up.
"Then have someone drive me back."
Torikaze personally drove Hakuto back.
[Sawamura Sayuri thought sending Sawamura Spencer Eriri abroad would make everything okay? Heh. Naive woman.]
Sayuri, who had been feeling a bit relaxed since sending Eriri away, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart.
'What had Hakuto done now?'
[I've successfully transformed Yamaguchi Torikaze and Akita Kazuo into Deep Ones. As I thought, because they were transformed by me, these Deep Ones don't have the contamination like those in the followers.]
[Although transforming Deep Ones also comes with a certain price, it's all worth it. That woman Sayuri thought sending Sawamura Spencer Eriri away would make everything okay? Just wait. I won't let any of them off… neither Sawamura Spencer Eriri, nor the Sawamura Family, nor Sawamura Sayuri.]
