“That’s not true.” Yug paused for a moment, then said softly, “I know this because I guessed.”
"And the reason I can guess is... mainly because I once had the same thoughts as you! Yes, Shub, we are the same kind of people."
"Hmm?!" Shub's emotions fluctuated, and she looked at Yog with some surprise and uncertainty.
He had the same thought as Him... In other words, Yogg also had the idea of killing Azathoth?!
“Azathoth, our Father God! The source of our birth. I love Him, I revere Him, I worship Him,” Yog spoke in a declarative tone, as if he were speaking not of himself, but of someone else. “However, no matter how much I revere Him, I cannot change the fact that He has no will of his own.”
“Blind folly, blind folly… It is a concept that is both inspiring and despairing.”
"That's why I know that if Azathoth doesn't encounter any mishaps, He will firmly remain in His position as Lord of the Ages! Until the end of the Old Ages..."
"But when that time comes, the Great Old Ones will face true despair. Because although Azathoth is the Lord of the Ages and the leader, He has no wisdom... He will not create a new Great World to lead the Great Old Ones to live in it."
"But if we don't do this, when the ruler of the next era appears, the Great Old Ones will inevitably face reckoning! At that time, it will all be over."
Shub fell silent. Hearing this, He understood that Yog truly understood why He had done such a thing.
"Most of the Great Old Ones were born from you. So you have a love for the Great Old Ones far beyond what is common to humans... This should be the original reason why you had the idea of killing Azathoth."
Yug paused briefly, then said softly, "In this respect, I am still no match for you. Even if I have such thoughts, I can never bring myself to make that kind of commitment! To embark on that kind of path."
"Since you know this, why did you try to stop me? I killed Azathoth, and I scattered His divinity in all directions. One day, those beings who have obtained His divinity will fight and devour each other, and the final being will be decided..."
“I tampered with things at the very beginning when divinity was scattered. I could have used the secret door I had set up in divinity to devour it when the final existence was determined. As long as I devoured the concept of that final existence, I could rightfully inherit the position of the Lord of the Era.”
As she spoke, Shub erupted in rage, "Everything was perfectly fine... Why did you and that idiot Nyarlathotep have to go and raise a new master yourselves? Did you really want to be a dog for a newcomer?"
"No! I simply don't care." Yog spoke indifferently, revealing the chaos and ruthlessness of an Old One at this moment. "Whether you succeed or that newcomer succeeds, it doesn't matter to me."
"Whoever succeeds first, whoever can ensure the continuation of the Great Old Ones, I will pledge my allegiance to... Shub, you are not wrong. If you have made a mistake, it is that Nyarlathotep's plan came to fruition faster than yours, so I chose Him."
Shub froze for a moment, staring blankly at Yog.
He suddenly understood Yog. Although this kind of random selection, which completely disregards distant relatives, is very contrary to human thinking, it is very much in line with the chaotic thinking of the Great Old Ones.
"Clap clap clap." Applause suddenly rang out, and Su Han's figure slowly materialized in front of the two of them. He looked at them with admiration and emotion, "Nya was deceived by the two of you like that... When she gets to the truth, her feelings will probably be very complicated."
“But He will understand me!” Yug’s voice was as calm as ever, as if Su Han’s appearance was also no surprise to him. “New Lord, human thinking has bound you! That’s why you are surprised…”
"Once you truly understand our way of thinking, you'll feel perfectly normal."
"...Actually, I'm a little curious. Have you thought about what I'll do next?" Su Han gazed at the omniscient and omnipotent being with great interest.
Shub fell into utter silence. Although she still harbored resentment, she knew that saying anything more now was pointless.
The moment He saw Su Han, He sensed a similar aura about Su Han to that of Azathoth in the past... It was precisely because He knew how strong Azathoth was that He gave up resisting at this moment.
"You should be able to further deduce and strengthen the Misty Space! Finally, expand it into a vast world... Then, imprison all the Great Old Ones within that world, thus preventing them from influencing the endless universe within the Void Sea, right?" Yog's words were full of certainty.
“Nai Tai is too naive. He never imagined that although you were nurtured by Him, you also grew up as a human being.”
"And in the process of your growth, you have seen the chaos spread by the Great Old Ones! You have seen the harm that this chaos has done to the world and to the lives in those worlds... Even if you become the master of the Great Old Ones, you still harbor hostility towards them."
“Of course, Nyarlathotep is the most crucial factor in getting you to this point, and he has been kind to you! You have a strong sense of gratitude and resentment... In this situation, annihilating the race of the Old Ones would be considered repaying kindness with enmity in your values. You would not do that.”
"So what you'll do... is all too obvious."

Chapter 558 The Grand Finale - The End of an Era!
After a long silence, Su Han stared at Yug and said from the bottom of his heart, "It's really terrifying."
Everything was part of Yug's plan.
Su Han suddenly felt somewhat fortunate... He was fortunate that Yug had maintained a neutral stance.
If Yogg is like Shub, then his adversary... himself, would inevitably die inexplicably during his growth...
Moreover, perhaps even Nyarlathotep doesn't know the cause of Su Han's death.
"You flatter me, new master." Yug's attitude remained unchanged from beginning to end.
Su Han gave Yuge a deep look, then said softly, "Phew! Now, it's time to truly bring peace to the Void Sea."
With a wave of his hand, the void in front of him instantly distorted, and Su Han stepped into it.
In the next instant, both Yug and Shub felt a terrifying suction force... They were sucked in without any ability to resist.
The Palace of Mist.
Su Han stood there quietly, his expression somewhat complicated as he surveyed the empty bronze chair around him.
Yug and Shub appeared behind him, both silent, waiting quietly for Su Han's next move.
Suddenly, Su Han reached out his hand and gently pushed, causing the entire misty world to expand rapidly in that instant.
The Misty World itself was created using parts of Azathoth's corpse as raw material. Its foundation was strong enough that Su Han only needed to manipulate it slightly to forge it into a vast world.
The world of mist is changing; stars have altered their trajectories, and mist imbued with malevolent power permeates every corner of this universe… transforming this vast world into a more habitable place for the Great Old Ones…
“…Never mind.” After gazing at the world for a long time, Shub suddenly spoke.
