Chapter 137: Shuma-Gorath creation
The collision of two completely different mental forces triggered a catastrophic storm.
The intensity of their confrontation was so fierce that even Professor X had a headache.
The nature of these entirely different mental forces was like a virus, a source of contamination, eroding his mental strength like a bone-devouring worm, extending and spreading to invade his mental world.
The world became visibly blurry; the collision of mental forces had begun to affect the real world.
...
Meanwhile, far away in Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One was originally teaching young sorcerers in the training ground. She seemed to sense something, raised her head, and looked at the sky.
"Is that Quoggoth? A disciple of Shuma-Gorath? Wasn't he defeated by Shuma-Gorath and submerged into the sea? I didn't expect him to awaken at this time."
"Quite surprising indeed."
The Ancient One knew very well the origins of the source.
Shuma-Gorath is one of the strongest beings among the Many-Angled Ones, an Old One, Lord of Chaos, Ancient Master, Ruler of Hundred Dimensions, an extradimensional demon, with the power to traverse dimensions and destroy galaxies and reality at will. It has a green body composed of a giant eye and multiple tentacles.
Its power was so overwhelming that even the Ancient One could not resist it.
It came to Earth in prehistoric times, around a million years ago, ruling over humans and using human ancestors as food. However, it was eventually defeated by a time-traveling sorcerer from the 31st century, Sise-Neg, who caused it to fall into a deep sleep and expelled it from Earth's dimension.
Quoggoth was a follower created by Shuma-Gorath in its own image, but Quoggoth later believed his power surpassed Shuma-Gorath's, thus challenging his creator. The result was obvious; Shuma-Gorath won the victory.
Quoggoth was sealed in an ancient tomb beneath an island and fell into a deep sleep.
This record was very secretive, so secretive that even the Ancient One only learned about it through the Time Stone by observing a significant future event. She also knew the kind of danger Quoggoth and Shuma-Gorath would pose to Earth in the future.
Unexpectedly, Quoggoth awakened early.
The Ancient One frowned, gazing at the sky, also observing the movements of Shuma-Gorath, fearing that it might be disturbed. Although the eye demon Shuma-Gorath had always been coveting Earth, wishing to return, it was still in a weakened state due to numerous experiences and battles, perhaps still asleep and not yet awakened.
"Knowing too much can also be exhausting," the Ancient One sighed silently. Because she knew too much, she had never relaxed since becoming the Sorcerer Supreme.
Her nerves had been tense all these years, and her desire for retirement had grown stronger.
She had to endure for a while longer.
Fortunately, at present, Quoggoth did not require her to take action. She believed another man had already impatiently headed to the scene.
As the Ancient One thought, in the temporary relaxed state at the Long Island Manor, Bi Xiao suddenly sensed an unfamiliar mental force not belonging to Earth. Then, another familiar mental force burst out, snapping him out of his relaxed state.
Without hesitation, he activated a teleportation portal, heading to the source of the collision between the two mental forces.
At his level, his super sensory and perception abilities could cover the entire Earth. With precise teleportation magic, he arrived at the base of Magneto's Brotherhood, floating in the sky, at the center of the storm caused by the collision of the two mental forces, overlooking below.
He noticed the anomaly on the island.
His sharp eyes caught the changes in the mutants and agents below, those disgusting tentacles, and eyes, gradually transforming humans into monsters.
The pervasive mental force discovered Bi Xiao and continuously tried to invade his mind, aiming to corrupt him into a monster.
Or rather, a slave to some monster.
However, this mental force had no effect on him. He had always emphasized protecting his mental world, with various mental barriers, defenses, and magic shielding his mind tightly.
The mental force could not even break through his first mental defense line. It was immediately obliterated by his mental magic upon contact.
Through the island, Bi Xiao saw an ancient tomb-like structure beneath, where a grotesque dark green monster was waving eight tentacles, fourteen eyes shining with dazzling mental force, seemingly aware of his gaze.
The tentacles waved more vigorously.
It was ugly, indescribably ugly, so ugly that even someone as composed as Bi Xiao felt disgusted.
"This form looks familiar, Cthulhu? An Old One? Shuma-Gorath?"
Upon "seeing" the monster's form and hearing the continuous whispers and murmurs in his ears, Bi Xiao immediately thought of a name, Shuma-Gorath.
The eye demon, an extremely powerful Old One.
One of the sources of various major events in the future. This monster was so powerful that even the future Doctor Strange could not destroy it. Not even someone at the level of Vishanti could annihilate it. Immortal and indestructible, it could only be sealed or banished.
A rather troublesome dimensional demon.
However, when Bi Xiao slightly perceived the monster beneath the island, he immediately dismissed his thought. That monster was definitely not Shuma-Gorath.
The monster was strong, but compared to the eye demon Shuma-Gorath, it seemed weak and entirely different in form.
He remembered Shuma-Gorath having only one large eye, the kind that could kill with a glare.
"I'll ask the Ancient One later." Bi Xiao thought the Ancient One should know very well about this creature.
Currently, the most important thing was to eliminate this newly emerged BOSS. Though a small BOSS, even a mosquito's meat is meat.
Additionally, if this thing was also an Old One and related to the eye demon Shuma-Gorath, it was necessary to understand its structure, hoping to find a way to kill the eye demon Shuma-Gorath from it.
