103. Knowing what was and what is to come

The deep sea is boiling, and the thick, viscous green water is ignited like oil, flashing with green sparks.

It was filled with snowflakes like those produced when electrical appliances were disturbed, with jumping and flashing arcs, and the burning and boiling seawater poured back into the wound that tore the earth apart.

Animusfia is among them.

"You have offended the great Cthulhu, human being."

Cthulhu, illuminated by green flames, stared at Animusfia. In his eyes with dark red light, Animusfia's figure and the surrounding things were infinitely elongated.

The flame goes out.

The boiling deep sea suddenly began to slowly calm down.

Illuminated by fire and electric arcs, Luoyan City - R'lye, which was as bright as day, also began to gradually dim.

The deep sea under 10,000 meters is silent again.

"I was still wondering why you were so stupid."

Ancient sounds break the darkness of the deep sea.

The flames did not completely disappear.

As if mocking, Cthulhu still retains the minimum amount of malice.

It wanted Animusfia to end her life miserably and humbly.

So Cthulhu "simmered" on low heat, not focusing on breaking through Animusfia's self-defense magic in an instant, but focusing on consuming Animusfia's energy.

Why?

"It turns out you have no 'future', human being."

Following the whirlpool, Animusfia continued to fall in the gap.

"You know you have no future, so you want to show off as a hero here. Even if you know no one will know, do you still want to impress yourself?"

Cthulhu's bloated body entrenched on the city of R'lyeh trembled.

It is laughing.

With just a little careful observation, Cthulhu can learn about Animusfia - the life of human beings.

From the past to the future.

The basic principle of animation is to play back frozen pictures one by one in sequence.

Let the pictures that are limited to the two-dimensional level also move with the changes in the time dimension.

In the same way, the image of events in the three-dimensional world is also an "image" that is continuous at the end and changes with time.

For humans, everything in the three-dimensional world changes over time, which is reality.

Human beings live in such a world.

Therefore, stop-motion animation, which projects three-dimensional information on a two-dimensional plane, was born.

Place the items, take photos, project the three-dimensional information onto a two-dimensional plane, and then play it.

Only in this way can humans watch everything from a condescending position.

However, for Cthulhu in a high dimension, time itself is just another dimension carrying the "animation" mediator.

The plane carries human "animation" and has only two dimensions: length and width.

For high-dimensional Cthulhu, its "animation" is carried in the [universe], with four dimensions of length, width, height and time.

The four directions above and below are the universe, and past and present are the universe.

The ancient Chinese definition of "universe" was surprisingly precise.

To Cthulhu, the [universe] in which humans live is just a huge screen, and everything in time is just a numerical value that can be intuitively felt in its eyes.

From the beginning, it was not in this universe.

Even if they are not sealed, the "Old Dominators" active in the universe are nothing more than shadows of higher-dimensional existences.

It's like taking a picture of an object in a three-dimensional space and expressing the information on a two-dimensional plane.

It's like humans drawing their own image on paper.

Although they look similar, there are essential differences between the drawn people and real people.

The paper looks very wide to humans.

This period of time for Cthulhu seems to be very short.

The true appearance of human beings in the eyes of Cthulhu is more like some kind of long, insect-like creature.

It starts from childhood and ends with the end of life.

What people see and perceive themselves is as one-sided as cutting out only one frame of an animation.

Only a high-dimensional being like Cthulhu can watch this "animation" completely.

This is why humans cannot understand it.

Unfortunately, Animusfia is coming to an end.

Even if Cthulhu does nothing, even if Animusfia rushes to such a deep seabed without risking his own life.

There is no future for this human race.

"Want to leave some meaning in your limited and tragically short life?"

Although I never heard laughter.

But ridicule and ridicule enveloped Animusfia together with the sea water.

"Funny, so funny, human."

Animusfia's vision gradually disappeared, and even the magic ball emitting white light suspended in his limp hand became dark in his eyes.

The sphere that inherited the magic power from the Spear of Ouranos fell into darkness.

It's that Animusfia's own thinking has reached its limit.

Cthulhu's sarcasm echoed in his ears.

"Human beings who cannot even cross time, and whose life even has an end, actually have such extravagant hopes."

.......

"Arrogant, too arrogant."

.......

"Everything you do is in vain, human beings, without the slightest value."

It became completely dark before my eyes.

"Your sacrifice can only move you."

...

"Maybe you can't even move yourself."

...

"Just achieve nothing and accept your ending in obscurity."

...

"The insignificant should accept the fate of the insignificant, arrogant humans."

.......

Cthulhu knows the past and the future.

Even though Animusfia had heard rumors about the Old Ones, she was still unable to see them with her own eyes.

Not even in a dream.

He is not a genius and has no talent.

Even among humans who are regarded as inferior to ants by Cthulhu, Animusfia is not considered outstanding.

Living independently as a human being, Animusfia is the smallest among the smallest.

It was really seen through.

Whether it is my own humbleness or a slightly shameful desire in my heart.

Everything about Animusfia was captured by Cthulhu without missing a beat.

Relying on the clues circulating in human society, plus Da Vinci's reaction when he mentioned Cthulhu.

Animusfia originally thought that Cthulhu would be like some kind of Godzilla-like monster that could only roar and destroy.

Even though it is mentioned that the other party is comparable to the omniscient and omnipotent "god" in people's hearts, the impression given by Cthulhu in rumors and dreams is still without intelligence or wisdom.

After facing the truth, Animusfia discovered that the rumors and dreams were not false.

But it's not entirely true.

A few one-sided words cannot even explain a person, and how can we explain the existence of higher dimensions.

Fear?

Is it scary?

More is unknown.

For ordinary people, fear may be buried under the unknown.

But for Animusfia, the unknown is just the unknown itself.

Arrogant?

Perhaps as Cthulhu said, Animusfia is indeed like this.

Cthulhu understands Animusfia.

After communicating with the old rulers, Animusfia also learned something about Cthulhu [Unknown].

At least, he learned that Cthulhu is also arrogant.

Cthulhu, an incomprehensible existence, a high-dimensional existence, an existence that can see the past and the future,

And, the existence of arrogance.

Although the more things you know, the more aware you are of your ignorance.

But the number of known things has indeed increased, and it will not decrease just because we are aware of more unknowns. This is a fact.

"I'm not the only arrogant guy."

Animusfia opened her eyes again, looking up at the huge Luoyan City and Cthulhu entrenched above R'lyeh.

The city of R'lyeh, which was originally filled with golden spirals and various curved surfaces and was built based on non-Euclidean geometry, began to change at this time.

"It is true that you know the past and the future."

All the buildings in Luoyan City have become illusory, curved surfaces have turned into planes, and spirals have turned into straight lines.

"But you can't grasp the moment."

In other words, for Cthulhu, there is no distinction between past and future at all, everything it sees is "the present".

In a way, it's the same as humans.

It's just that Cthulhu's present is much longer than that of humans.

But even if humans live in the present, can they know everything that is happening at this moment?

The answer is obvious.

The same is true even for beings like Cthulhu.

There can never be "omniscience and omnipotence" in the world.

"Otherwise you wouldn't be here, Cthulhu."

The tentacles wrapped around every corner of Raleye, Luoyan City, passed through the ever-changing and illusory buildings.

Cthulhu, entrenched on R'lyeh, passed through the entire city in an instant, and hit the ground in France hard under the water pressure.

The huge and bloated body of the Old Ones slid down again into the crack as deep as an abyss.
