Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

"The Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation is a small town co-governance." Domon raised his finger and snapped it. A map flew out from the bookshelf and spread out in front of Mo Yu.

This is a very old map. The terrain and city-states on it are completely different from the current world. The western half of the continent is not a carefully designed town like a moon surrounded by stars, but a scattered city-state and villages.

A star-like light fell on the old parchment, illuminating a place where four or five towns not far away were circled together by lines, and its name was written in slender and circling cursive characters on the top: Mont Blanc Autonomous Federation.

It is located northwest of the current Pizroll satellite city, roughly in the middle and lower part of the western half of the continent. From the map, there are rivers, mountains and lakes here, which should be considered a place with good scenery.

"Although it is only a municipality of four or five towns, we live a stable and prosperous life. The nearby Brown Mountain produces chestnuts and olive steel. I still remember the aroma of the Brown Snow Peak cake made by my mother with chestnut paste every autumn." Old Domon took a deep breath, as if intoxicated by the sweet breath in his memories.

Mo Yu blinked.

——Chestnut Brown Cake? He can make this.

"Orichalcu is a hard metal that can reflect magic. It was once commonly known as 'mountain copper'. It is hard but heavy. It can isolate and defend against magic to a certain extent. It is a very precious forging material. We once made a fortune with this mineral, but it also brought us death."

"At that time, it was still at the end of the 'God's Silence Era'. The God War on the Dark Side of the Planet had just stopped for a hundred years. The sphere of influence of the gods was initially divided. There were many towns in the west of the continent, each of which was governed by its own government and had mixed beliefs. People lived a rich and prosperous life, and they could find their own way forward, so they did not need to place their faith in the gods. Their own hands were far more reliable than the illusory gods.

In this case, it was not so easy for the Church of Light to unify the world. If a god wanted to come to the front, unify the regime, and establish a religious state, the first prerequisite was to have the faith of the vast majority of the people. So!"

Domon suddenly leaned forward with a sly smile, like an old teacher testing his students. Professor: "Do you know what the Church of Light needed most when it wanted to establish a religious state?"

Mo Yu carefully recalled the knowledge he had learned: "Establishing a religious state requires land and people, as well as the Church of Light itself that holds control, and military force to maintain the status and voice of the Church of Light... With believers, you can occupy the territory, and with military force and voice, you can dominate the economy.

Then the answer should be military force and believers."

"Smart." Duo Meng praised, "But at this time, the large-scale war of gods has just ended, and the gods have already divided the cake: the tree of abundance and life divides most of the natural authority, and the scattered authority of wind, sea, thunder and lightning belongs to the barbarian gods in the north; time is missing, fate is emerging, and trade, craftsmen and art, and wars begin to rise; even on the battlefield of gods on the dark side of the planet, the Duke of Hell has emerged, gathering the demons and establishing power..."

"But in such a peaceful and prosperous life, who needs light and who worships light?"

Mo Yu understood. Each era has its own trends and needs. When wild beasts are rampant, darkness is shrouded, ice and snow rainstorms continue, and natural conditions are extremely poor and difficult to survive, people will spontaneously worship fire and the sun.

But this most ancient and barbaric worship will fade with the advancement of technology and magic, not to mention that the Mother of Fertility and the Tree of Life have divided up most of the natural authority, and they are enough to handle the prayer needs of most people for production and planting.

Light, sun, fire... The business scope that the God of Light relies on for a living is too old and narrow to attract customers.

People are not afraid of darkness or ghosts, and there are legal sanctions for sins, so there is no need for the God of Light to play. In the prosperous and peaceful era, people prefer to worship the God of Art who provides creativity and inspiration, and pray to the God of Commerce and Money who blesses business...

It can be said that the 'Age of God' is not just about the end of large-scale god wars, and countless gods died in battles, but more about people's lives being on the right track, and no longer needing to pray to gods as often as before.

God has begun to die, and the next era should belong to humans.

But the God of Light disagreed. He refused to be laid off or die, and even wanted to expand his sphere of influence to establish a religious state.

"If there is no demand, create demand; if there is no business, create business. The God of Light needs an opponent." Mo Yu murmured.

"Yes, the demons living in the dark, which are opposite to the attributes of the God of Light, are a good choice. However, although these demons have different habits from humans, they have not brought any harm to humans. At most, they do mutually beneficial business with humans and devour some emotions and desires. They rarely come to the Central Continent and are not enough to pose a threat to people."

"The God of Light chose the evil gods from outside the world and their inherent pollution. Of course, this plan has been set up long ago," Mo Yu thought, "Before the God of Light became a god, he planned to use the sun as his cornerstone to store faith and turn it into a fragrant bait to attract the attention of the outer gods and snatch the power outside the world to strengthen himself."

Mo Yu thought of the shadow of the world tree in his dream. There are so many worlds outside the world, and Cthulhu world is just one of them. Perhaps, everything that happened is not accidental.

In this world, there are also many methods and examples of summoning gods of the Cthulhu family. The method of summoning bubbles in the bell tower town is included in the classics collected by the Church of Light. The appearance of the R'lyeh illusion is due to the fanatics using secret methods to summon the arrival of General C and the city of R'lyeh, and Weiland also organized the summoning of the Black Goat of the Forest...

Thinking about it this way, perhaps it is not a simple coincidence that this world is targeted by the outer gods such as Naya.

"I don't know whether the God of Light was ignorant or deliberately placed faith on the sun as bait at the beginning. I have no evidence to prove whether He has excessively dominated or participated in the ritual of summoning evil gods. But I saw with my own eyes that after the pollution from the other world appeared, the God of Light and His Church went from a dying god belief to a super-powerful force that dominated half of the world."
