Chapter 176 When the Stars Are Right
It was only a little past three o'clock, but the sky had already darkened, and the night sky was filled with shining stars.
"When the stars are right."
For some reason, everyone looking at the shining stars in the sky thought this phrase.
Two phantom images confronted each other in the sky. One was a vast, majestic giant with the head of an octopus, a human body, and bat wings on its back.
Confronting this being was a phantom image appearing in the form of a human wearing a yellow robe and a soft mask. The two confronted each other, with shining stars behind them.
Hakuto, watching this scene from a third-person perspective, immediately cursed out loud.
"Damn!"
'The King in Yellow and Cthulhu. The King in Yellow was Cthulhu's mortal enemy. If these two started fighting now, wouldn't they directly blow up the entire planet?'
"Big shots, calm down. Please, please calm down. This world cannot withstand your destruction. Please, calm down!"
Hakuto shouted frantically. But at that moment, Cthulhu and Hastur both ignored Hakuto. They only had eyes for each other.
[It's over. This world is finished. Suzuki Sonoko asked me to come save someone, but who knew that saving them would doom the entire world. The King in Yellow and the great Cthulhu are mortal enemies. If these two start fighting, this planet is probably done for.]
The diary copy holders, who had been wondering what was happening with the shining stars in the sky, were all terrified, their faces pale.
Then they looked at the phantom images in the sky in terror. The two beings began to move. As they moved, countless planets in the galaxy exploded.
They couldn't even understand how the two beings were fighting. They just saw planets explode, one after another, turning into cosmic dust.
Everyone who witnessed this had their hairs stand on end. Many were driven insane by the sight. No one doubted whether it was real or fake, because everyone who saw the two beings in the sky could feel their greatness.
That was why countless people felt despair. Hakuto, with the best view, was truly on the verge of despair. Could these two big shots please stop fighting? You can't kill each other anyway, but this planet will be destroyed by you two!
Suddenly, Hakuto saw the cat's eye ring on his hand. A flash of inspiration struck him.
The King in Yellow, Hastur, and the great Cthulhu were both Great Old Ones. But the ring on his hand symbolized Shub-Niggurath.
In terms of status, Shub-Niggurath was an Outer God, above the Great Old Ones. If Shub-Niggurath acted, it should be able to stop Hastur and Cthulhu.
"Shub-Niggurath, please stop Cthulhu and Hastur from fighting. If they keep this up, this world will be destroyed."
As if responding to Hakuto's words, a mass of darkness appeared in the void. This mass of darkness directly obscured the star-filled night sky.
Then it seemed to converse with Hastur and Cthulhu. Finally, the three figures gradually disappeared. The star-filled night sky also faded, returning to the daytime scenery.
[Thank goodness for Shub-Niggurath. She stopped Cthulhu and Hastur. If they had kept fighting, it would have definitely affected the entire world. But the price for asking her to act is that I have to pay it. I need to find a woman. No, this time, one probably won't be enough. Kasumigaoka Utaha can also be used.]
Hakuto ignored the Suzuki Family. He immediately took out his phone and called Kirari.
"That hotel from before. Hurry."
Then he called Utaha. "Get to XXX Hotel within half an hour."
Hakuto let out a breath. Then he looked at the unconscious Jirokichi, his face dark. He said to Sonoko, "I'll deal with your uncle later. I need to handle my own problem first."
Feeling the pressure emanating from Hakuto, and recalling the phantom images that had just appeared in the sky, the Suzuki Family nodded repeatedly.
Hakuto immediately had the Suzuki Family take him to the hotel.
Shub-Niggurath's power was effective, but the consequence was that a price had to be paid.
Utaha looked at the message from Hakuto and fell silent. She now had a diary copy, so she naturally guessed what Hakuto was going to do.
In the end, Utaha sighed and obediently went. To convince herself, she told herself that Hakuto had just saved the world, and she was just repaying a favor, since she had also been saved.
On the other side, Kirari fell into thought. Then she picked up her phone and called Jabami Yumeko. She put down the phone after a while.
Then she called her sister, Momobami Ririka, and her secretary, Igarashi Sayaka. Finally, she didn't even spare Yomotsuki Runa.
Then Kirari went directly to the hotel.
As soon as Hakuto entered the hotel room and saw Kirari, he completely let go, his reason instantly consumed by desire. When he woke up again, he was completely dumbfounded.
'A party? You're having a party and didn't invite me?'
Hakuto began to recall what had happened the previous day. It started with Kirari. After she was exhausted, it was Utaha. Then...
Hakuto looked at Yumeko, Ririka, Sayaka, and even Runa. He was completely dumbfounded.
But with a wave of his hand, black fog instantly covered these girls. Their furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
[Wow, this time... it was a direct party. Oh well. It's already started. But I never expected it to be the King in Yellow targeting Suzuki Jirokichi. If it weren't for Shub-Niggurath, two Great Old Ones would have been enough to destroy this world.]
[But what about the King in Yellow now? How do we deal with him?]
