“A mountain that grows downwards?!”
A young man suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
Everyone else looked at her young man whose youth stood out when compared to the inhabitants of the room.
The young man paced in his spot and clenched his fists. His tone was full of excitement and fear as he murmured, “Although I don’t know why this kind of geological phenomenon took place, there are records of mountains even taller than Everest in myths. For this mountain to be located in Antarctica, however, could it be related to the Cthulhu mythos?”
Hearing the young man’s words, the people in the room were stunned. Smith spoke, “I wonder if you can clarify what you mean by that.”
At this time, Smith and the others became aware of the identity of this young man. He was an American, but he was not an expert or a scholar. To be exact, he was just a normal reader, but because he was obsessed with Cthulhu mythology, he was included as a member of this expert group.
It hadn’t even been a hundred years since the Cthulhu mythology was made and many did not believe it at all when the book first came out, but the appearance of Cthulhu in the Pacific Ocean, the deep ones that appeared in Tokyo, and even the evil meteor that was about the destroy the world were all phenomena that proceed that the myths were not simply fictional. It was likely the same for other myths.
As for why Chtulhu mythology only appeared in the past hundred years, everyone reasoned out why this happened. It was likely as the old Chinese man and the Shinto priest had said that these monsters had been defeated once before, and as a result information about them did not circulate on Earth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbout eighty years ago, for some reason, the information about these evil gods once again appeared on Earth and was received by some people, resulting in the information being turned into a .
For example, the one who founded the Cthulhu Mythos, Howard Phillips Lovecraft!
As a result, Cthulhu mythology was now taken seriously by various countries.
Seeing everyone look at him, the young man did not shy away, and instead excitedly explained further, “Lovecraft had once written about an ancient ruin with mountains taller than Mt. Everest. It was also located in Antarctica.”
“These ruins belonged to the Elder Things, a race from unknown billions of years ago, who came to Earth through interstellar travel. They possessed a highly developed civilization and science and technology!”
Aliens, science, and technology!
These two words lingered in the minds of people. To be honest, compared to the gods, aliens were something more acceptable.
Especially a race that can perform interstellar travel. Who knows how developed such a civilization was compared to modern humanity?
Compared to occult knowledge, science, and technology were still the areas in which humans excel at!
After the young man finished with excitement, he said awkwardly, “But this is only something recorded in the and can’t be taken too seriously. Nevertheless, the situation you described, Mr. Carmen, is extremely similar to what was written.”
The young man’s words made people secretly nod their heads and think that his words were very reliable. Lovecraft should only have obtained basic information and made fictional stories about the information he obtained. The stories that he wrote were not what actually happened, otherwise, he would not be a ist but a prophet.
However, Gui Bin and the special agents all looked at each other with surprise. They didn’t care about the mess. Aliens and science and technology alone were enough for them to make a decision.
These people immediately reported to their respective countries. They knew that the countries’ next order would be an exploration!
And at that moment, another expert suddenly stood up and refuted, saying, “I have no knowledge of this Cthulhu Mythos or Elder Things. I just want to say that your claims are purely speculative without any evidence. However, I have more accurate evidence to present here.”
The expert opened a virtual screen and pointed to a particular photograph, saying, "Look here. This is a glimpse of the structure we encountered after discovering the meteorite fragments. You may think it's just a fragment of a building, but as a scholar of Ancient Greece, I immediately noticed something amiss. This structure is unmistakably in the style of Ancient Greek architecture!”
Immediately, the expert pulled up another image and exclaimed, "...This is a reconstruction of some Ancient Greek architecture. Do you see how similar the angles of this structure are to the angles of the structure found in Antarctica? Therefore, I conclude that this underground ruin in Antarctica is not related to extraterrestrial beings at all but is connected to the Ancient Greek civilization, perhaps even the legendary lost civilization of Atlantis civilization mentioned by Plato!"
The solid evidence presented left everyone speechless, especially considering the recent incident in the Pacific where the creature that appeared was none other than Typhon, the infamous monster king from Greek mythology. If the architecture found at the site of the meteorite fragments was also connected to Ancient Greece, it did seem quite plausible when you think about it.
Gui Bin and the others received instructions from their respective countries as everyone exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to do next. They shared a glance and stood up, clapping their hands to grab everyone's attention and announced, "Regardless of whether it's related to the Elder Things or Ancient Greek civilization, the governments of China, the United States, Russia, England, France, Japan, and Germany have jointly decided to form the most advanced international expedition team to explore the underground depths of Antarctica!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn alien civilization, science, and technology, these terms alone are enough for governments to explore at any cost!
The entire Antarctic base got busy.
……
Atop a mountain in Antarctica, Louis sat there unaffected by the raging blizzard swirling around him. Not a single corner of his garment was moved by the fierce winds, making him appear like a god atop a snowy peak.
“Humans really are greedy! Just revealing a slight benefit would make them act like wolves that have smelled blood.
Louie shook his head and muttered.
In the past, Louie was only a demigod, a half-assed one at that, so he had been meticulous. After all, given his limited means, his schemes could be seen through to some extent if he wasn’t careful.
Now, Louis has become a true god with mid-tier divine power. His actions had become daring and bold. Not only had he deeply ingrained the concept of mysticism into the hearts of humans, but he also attained the actual abilities of a god. The once enigmatic and elusive nature of the divine has transformed into a tangible reality under Louis' influence.
In the world of San Soliel, the gods would not allow other gods to fight on the main continent, and disputes were all resolved in the Astral Realm. This was simply because a fight between two gods no matter how weak they were was enough to devastate the main continent and affect the mortals.
Earth was also the same. With Louie’s mid-tier divine power, he could knead the planet in his hands and even use his divine power to transform the landscape of the world.
Thus, these mysterious events that Louie had caused were no longer something for purely gathering faith, but a game to satisfy his own pleasure.
This was a true god. Mortals were nothing more than ants to them and depending on their mood, the gods could change the direction of civilization.
Just like in the world of San Soliel, under the silent agreement of the gods, mortals would never be able to surpass the medieval template of civilization and achieve progress.
