Of course I'm normal.
Or--
You're doing great now, me.
The whispers began again.
Edward's voice drifted over slowly as he spoke, walking towards the original location of the summoning circle.
"Let me find it... Ah, this is it! You know, the high priest of the Church of the Invisible Form managed to create another summoning circle right under my nose, and even designed it below this one. He's a genius."
Edward placed his hand on the ground, and with a flash of lightning, a large patch of lawn and soil disappeared, while the offerings were moved to the side.
There, there was also a huge, mysterious summoning circle, but it was now completely dark.
"Does that invisible high priest have a terribly unpleasant laugh?"
"Yes. If you hadn't torn him to pieces, I would have beaten him up to vent my anger. Well, this summoning circle is truly ingeniously designed. Mr. Changyan, do you know why you can't control your emotions? It's because of this summoning circle!"
Are there no remains of the body?
That's too lenient on him.
"It can unleash your dark side and make you act in a way that pleases that deity. If you continue to fight each other up there, the one who survives will become a vessel for another god. You'd better thank Mr. Koshimizu properly!"
Just him?
Just this summoning circle?
Just because of Nyarlathotep?
For some reason, Chang Yan had these thoughts on his mind.
Wait a minute, am I right?
Yes, that's right.
That is indeed "my" thought.
Nodding, Chang Yan continued to look at the summoning circle.
Something foreign took over him.
As the saying goes, the shadow under your feet creeps in quietly.
With his head down, he asked in an ambiguous tone.
"Mr. Edward, so what use is this summoning circle now?"
Edward, who was standing nearby, was happy to clear up his doubts for some reason.
One shadow is gnawing away at another.
"Ah, you're asking about that. Right now, this summoning circle can't be activated because there's no one to host it and no magic input."
"Oh, by the way, to summon a deity, you need to have a so-called 'offering' and 'connection'. The offering attracts the deity's attention, and the connection allows the deity to locate you. However, if the offering is very generous or the connection is very close, you can also directly summon the deity."
"Then how does it relate to those deities?"
"Ah, just say the name. Just like my teacher, as long as you call her name three times, she can sense you. Not to mention the gods, they can sense even a title."
"Wait a minute, why am I telling you all this? Never mind, maybe it's because I'm too happy right now."
Seemingly realizing that something was wrong with him, Edward also stopped answering.
And the shadows spread out.
But that's enough.
Yes, that's enough.
Thank you for your answer.
mortal.
A crazy, strange smile appeared uncontrollably on Chang Yan's face.
(I really want to laugh right now.)
Don't laugh, me.
Will be discovered.
"Alright, Mr. Changyan. There are still a bunch of important people waiting for us over there, so remember to control yourself. Also, try to tell the truth, since they can detect any lie you tell."
Edward patted Chang Yan on the shoulder and walked over to Lulutia and her group.
After walking a few steps, he noticed that Chang Yan hadn't moved, so he turned around in confusion.
"Mr. Changyan, hurry up! Has your injury flared up again? Let me treat you first."
"No need, Edward (mortal)."
Weird
The common saying is quite strange.
They were just speaking normally, but for some reason...
I have a general feeling—
There was another person speaking.
"What do you mean?"
Edward also became wary.
"You ask me what I mean? It's simple: do they even deserve for me to walk past them?"
Extremely arrogant words came out of Chang Yan's mouth.
"who are you!"
Sensing something amiss with Changyan, Edward immediately snapped his fingers.
One by one, enormous humanoid golems, gleaming with a crystal-clear sheen, slowly approached.
Diamond Golem.
Just from the name, you can tell that this golem is extremely expensive.
This is no ordinary level of consumption.
Even the most basic diamonds are measured in tons.
Moreover, it must be a diamond with very few impurities.
Not to mention other magical materials.
How can you become stronger if you don't spend money?
Of course, as a premium item, this golem is also very powerful in combat.
They can pin Chang Yan, who hasn't even learned the forbidden moves, to the ground and beat him senseless.
Although it's not fast, the golem can solidify spells on its body.
Acceleration
Swiftness of the Wind
The elegance of cats
Gravity manipulation
Okay, now it runs very fast.
"Who am I? Your question is really boring."
With his head tilted to the side, Chang Yan still spoke in that same tone.
"Of course, it's just a common saying."
Then, Chang Yan tore off his nearly severed arm and threw it onto the summoning circle.
Blood gushed out again, and his face grew paler and paler.
"What are you doing! Trying to summon a god? It's useless. With just one arm, no god would even notice such a sacrifice. Even if you were a high priest of a church, it wouldn't matter. Before those gods, we mortals are nothing but dust."
Chapter Sixty-Three: The Descent of God (I) II
Let me tell you about the general plot of the other routes.
Route 1 - The Incarnation of Evil
In order for me to live a peaceful life without being lazy, you should all just die!
Because of hatred, because of jealousy, because of anger, because of some other reason
As the saying goes, it has become evil.
Even after the summons was lifted, he still killed the few sacrifices lying on the ground.
I won't feel at ease until I kill you all!
Because he had angered those important figures, Chang Yan put on that mask.
Endless magic power surged into his body, and the Annihilation Eye, having absorbed the magic power, continuously strengthened his body.
Chang Yan fought a fierce battle with those important figures, but because the opposing side had more people, Chang Yan did not gain the upper hand.
Chang Yan then used the card obtained through Mind Stealing to acquire temporary mana crystals, opened an unstable portal, and escaped.
I will come back, don't worry. I will not become your memory.
After uttering these words in front of everyone, Chang Yan disappeared.
As for which world?
It's another crossover anime, of course!
The following are cards obtained through Mind Stealing.

Route 3: Silent Solitude
From the very beginning, I didn't need any companions.
Because I am—
After the summons was lifted, Chang Yan miraculously did not receive much trouble.
Although I have returned to a mundane daily life, my former friends have gradually drifted away from me.
Even though Chang Yan knew that their friendship could continue as long as he apologized to them.
Screw friendship
For some reason, Chang Yan ignored them.
Even when people try to talk to him, he only gives lukewarm replies.
Some time later, due to someone's revenge, the world's common parent died in an accident.
