Chapter 945: Marching into the Lovecraft City
There was a nightmarish gargantuan dimension, a terrifying abyss hidden deep within the Atlas Continent that cradled a massive underwater city. This place was none other than Lovecraft City, a construct of unfathomable horror and grandeur, far surpassing the one Cain had vanquished and destroyed in Kronos.
The size of this dimension was gargantuan, nearly a tenth of Atlas' landmass, with billions of insect drones flooding the waters along with all sorts of twisted and nightmarish aquatic monsters.
At the heart of Lovecraft City stood a dark temple. From this temple, waves of dark radiation spread in all directions, flooding the dimension with the energy it needed to exist and grow. Surrounding the temple were eleven monstrous figures, each embodying a different Concept that permeated every inch of their flesh, blood, and soul.
Four extremely powerful entities were in the deepest chamber of a massive temple resembling a twisted demonic cathedral. These monsters, with bodies and souls made of negative emotions and chaotic psychic energy, would usually hide their appearance, embracing a sense of mystery and power.
But there was no room for such fanciness and parlor, as they used every second they had to heal their bodies and souls.
The four entities in the chamber were none other than the Grand Humanoids of Dark Sky, the only ones still alive after the onslaught and massacre perpetrated by the Red King. It was extremely easy for Depravitas to heal from their injuries, as they only needed energy to regenerate their flesh and blood, and Lovecraft City was overflowing with it.
However, things were more complicated this time. The humanoid bodies they used outside Lovecraft City were known as Sky Shields and were indispensable in a world invasion. The will of Aether would attack any alien life form that dared to invade it, but it could not attack what it could not see.
The Dark Fog provided a layer of protection, obscuring their auras, but that was still not enough. So, the Depravitas adopted their spiritual form and fused it into the Sky Shields, essentially turning their souls and energy into fleshy bodies. That made it impossible for the World Will to detect them inside the Dark Fog.
Unfortunately for the Depravitas, that amazing disguise had one big drawback: they could not use any form of energy or spiritual power inside the Sky Shields, severely limiting their powers. If that was not bad enough, the physical damage done to the humanoid metallic bodies was translated into soul damage. When the Red King severed their arms and legs, he was severing pieces of their souls!
Without the endless supply of Depravita Essence flooding Lovecraft City, it would have taken hundreds of years for the Depravitas to heal instead of just a few weeks.
