Chapter 1913: You Know What I Mean, Aunty

“It’s you guys…”

Nyarlathotep recognized Bai and the others as soon as he saw them arrive.

After all, it was not their first time seeing each other.

He had been hiding inside the mystic territory when the Black Goat’s Egg was breeding monsters, and had observed everything that had happened outside.

Bai and the others had suppressed their combat strength intentionally back then and successfully deceived Nyarlathotep. They got the Black Goat’s Egg to complete the last breeding round and obtained many Kingdoms and resources in return.

As such, when Nyarlathotep saw them again, he was furious.

“They must be those people that you were talking about before.” Yogg, who was standing to the side, guessed.

Naturally, the failed plan with the Black Goat’s Egg could not be hidden from Yogg and Shub.

Nyarlathotep had told them the truth. Of course, he had exaggerated stories about how “cunning” and “despicable” they were.

Given that they were not disguising their combat strength at the moment, it was only natural that Yogg and Shub could guess who they were.

“Hey, we meet again,” Grimace greeted them from the other side in an annoying manner. He focused his eyes on Nyarlathotep after taking a glance at the others. “We really want to thank you for the big gift from earlier. It was such a great harvest for us.”

Nyarlathotep, who already looked terrible, looked even worse now that Grimace was poking his wound.

“So, are you going to give us more gifts today?” Grimace teased further while smiling after seeing the terrible look on Nyarlathotep’s face.

“I’m not sure if you can receive this gift!” Nyarlathotep replied while gnashing his teeth.

“Just come at me, let’s see if I can receive it.” Grimace kept smiling.

Nyarlathotep scoffed and said nothing further.

He realized that he would not gain the upper hand in terms of words while Grimace was present.

However, Grimace clearly did not plan to let things go just like that. “If you’re not going to give me anything, I can only attack you…”

Before Grimace was even done speaking, Nyarlathotep’s pupils shrunk suddenly. He flew to the side quickly, as he sensed a fatal threat coming from behind him.

“When did you get here?!” Nyarlathotep had shock fill his face. He had not sensed Grimace moving at all, but the latter had appeared behind him out of nowhere.

“Be careful, this guy is an expert in illusions!” Yogg, who was not far away, yelled.

“Oh, no. I’ve been busted so quickly…” Although Grimace said that, there was no worry evident in his tone of voice at all.

At the same time, an illusory shadow appeared next to Yogg’s ear. It said softly, “I suddenly think that you’re more interesting than he is. Maybe I should kill you first…”

Before the shadow was even done speaking, Yogg had turned into a shadow himself and faded away.

Grimace’s shadow stuck to Shub’s back directly when he saw Yogg running away. He played with her hair. “Aunty, if I’m not wrong, you were the one who created the ootheca, right? Give me a few more.”

Shub’s hair was squirming frantically as if they were alive. Grimace’s shadow snickered before fading away.

Within the blink of an eye, Grimace had messed around with the three Outer Gods all on his own.

The many Abyssal monsters were stunned as they watched this scene.

One had to know that the three Outer Gods were terrifying powerhouses that were only second in power to Aza. They possessed absolute power.

However, they were still tricked. Not only that, it seemed like they could not do anything to Grimace at all.

“You’re courting death!” Nyarlathotep stared furiously at Grimace.

At this point, he now treated Grimace as his mortal enemy.

“It’s useless for you to keep saying that. You have to back up your talk with actions.” Grimace clearly did not take his threat seriously.

“Nyarlathotep!”

Just as Nyarlathotep was about to attack out of rage, Yogg’s voice could be heard.

“We’ve been tricked.”

Nyarlathotep was stunned at first, after which he calmed down instantly.

His pupils shrunk at that moment, and his body began to transform quickly. He turned into a pharaoh wearing a triangular golden crown.

A golden staff appeared in his hand. There were complicated dark purple sigils engraved on it.

He held it with his eyes closed and began to chant.

A moment later, the surroundings collapsed like shattering glass and faded away.

When Nyarlathotep opened his eyes again, he realized that the Abyssal army behind the three of them had mostly been killed.

The few that were still alive were dying.

Abhoth, who was in the form of a meatball, had been crushed into mincemeat entirely.

Ghroth, who was like a giant eyeball, had exploded. There was only a pile of goo remaining where its body once was.

Tulzscha, which was like a green pillar of fire, was weakly emitting a few sparks…

Although these supreme powerhouses had mastered over ten quadrillion chaotic cosmoses they were severely injured. They had lost their ability to fight completely.

“Yikes, I didn’t expect you guys to see through this.” Grimace’s spoke softly. He looked at the transformed version of Nyarlathotep with great interest. “You’re pretty capable.”

“Grimace!” Bai frowned. He suspected that Grimace had let them out in advance on purpose.

After all, this guy was known for his distasteful behavior.

According to their initial plan, they were supposed to trap the three Outer Gods in the illusion, and only let them out after they had killed all of the Abyssal monsters.

However, Grimace clearly had not trapped them for long enough.

This resulted in them escaping the illusion before Bai and the others had finished killing the final few Abyssal monsters that had mastered over ten quadrillion chaotic cosmoses.

“You really can’t blame me for this.” Grimace shrugged. “I didn’t know that he could shatter my illusion.”

Bai did not dwell on the matter. Although those few were still alive due to their strong will to live, they had already lost the ability to fight and no longer posed a threat.

“Little Witch!” Bai turned his head and yelled.

Witch attacked instantly. A shadow enveloped and swallowed all of the dying Abyssal monsters.

Nyarlathotep wanted to save them, but it was too late.

The Outer Gods looked at Bai and the rest with anger.

They really had not expected Grimace’s illusion to be so terrifying. They were tricked without them realizing, resulting in them being the only survivors.

Any opportunity to form battle formations with the army of Abyssal monsters was completely gone now.

“I think that you guys can still struggle a little more.” Grimace suddenly said while smiling. Subsequently, he looked at Shub and gestured at her. “You should know what I mean, aunty.”
