The process of sealing Lord Cthulhu was not exactly smooth.
After all, the opponent was a Cthulhu, whose sensory abilities proved to be extraordinarily strong.
The mont Fang Mo drew his massive sword, the opponent beca aware of Fang Mo's general intent and began to rapidly break free from this spatial realm, attempting to return to the slumbering dream state of R'lyeh.
It is important to note.
Cthulhu have a very notable characteristic.
That is, a nearly absurd immortality... or rather, an undying trait.
Yes, whether it be the Old Ones or their Outer Gods, their essence does not reside in three-dinsional space but cos from a higher hierarchical level... even from so absurd realm beyond the space-ti continuum.
This ans that their bodies are not composed of matter.
Instead, they are made of a special concept that transcends matter, spirit, and energy.
This is sowhat similar to Fang Mo's data-based body. Although it appears corporeal, it is actually sothing entirely different... a projection? Or perhaps so other concept?
According to the records in the Book of Eibon, the great Old One Cthulhu originally ca from another star domain. At the dawn of ti, he brought his offspring and the Star Spawn across the universe, finally descending upon Earth and constructing the city of R'lyeh in the South Pacific.
And thereafter, the Deep Ones were attracted and beca his followers and servants.
Of course, these facts are ntioned not just for the sake of it but to illustrate a point: Lord Cthulhu's body can easily traverse the universe, even resisting major tears in space-ti rifts.
This is the physical characteristic of the Cthulhu.
Pure physical damage... or any attack, really, cannot truly kill them.
In theory, a nuclear bomb could kill Cthulhu, but in reality... it's useless because Lord Cthulhu would resurrect in the next second, even radiating strong radioactivity.
In fact, after Fang Mo had fully charged up, he did indeed punch and kill this creature.
But it was useless; the opponent recovered in less than a second and even mocked Fang Mo until later, when Fang Mo swung a giant Elder Sign to bash its head and Steve crazily attacked its feet, causing a brief cessation of activity.
Fang Mo could vaguely sense.
That this ti Cthulhu had indeed suffered substantial damage.
But Cthulhu does not have a concept of death, so even if Fang Mo guarded Lord Cthulhu's corpse and Steve kept chopping, it would at most weaken him, not truly kill him.
To completely kill an Old One.
One would probably need the power of another Outer God, and not just any Outer God.
But the Triad of Gods—Nyarlathotep, Shub-Niggurath, Yog-Sothoth—or sothing darker, the Naless Mist, or even the demonic lord Azathoth would be necessary.
Fang Mo pondered for a mont and thought that Steve might be able to erase the opponent, that is, by using the voracious module to directly devour him. Nyarlathotep also said that his rank was not inferior to Lord Azathoth, so theoretically, voracious eating could indeed kill Cthulhu.
But that seed a bit unnecessary.
After all, they weren't mortal enemies, at most just not liking each other enough to call for a fight.
If he really killed an Old One, it would be troubleso later with the Cthulhu, especially after the incident of the seventh head, as Fang Mo and many Outer Gods had beco buddies.
For this reason.
This creature was just too alert. The mont it sensed Fang Mo's intention, it was forcibly resurrected and then prepared to flee.
Even if Fang Mo controlled Steve to chop at him, it was useless; after being killed, it would forcibly resurrect imdiately, already indifferent to whether it was weakened or not, definitely not wanting to be sealed, so it simply struggled like mad.
In the end.
Thankfully, Saitama suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
A serious beating with increased power from before, and seeing this, Fang Mo quickly used the Elder Sign to smash Cthulhu's head and wildly thrust the sealing sword into his chest.
After this complex series of actions.
Cthulhu roared unwillingly, then was sucked into the vortex ford by the seal.
"I rember you!"
During the sealing process, Cthulhu did not forget to angrily shout at Fang Mo while his limbs flailed, tearing the surrounding sea and land into deep, abyss-like ravines: "Wait until I break the seal! I will make you..."
"Damn, you dare to talk tough?"
Seeing this, Fang Mo raised his eyebrows, and in the next second, the gravitational field tore apart countless rock layers, beginning to mass-produce Elder Signs: "I'm going to throw so ash in your eyes."
"What are you going to do..."
Cthulhu's voice suddenly beca anxious.
But it was already too late. Fang Mo forcefully pressed a large stack of Elder Signs onto him, and with the suction of the seal, these stone tablets were sucked into the giant sword along with Cthulhu.
And once Cthulhu was sealed.
All the extraordinary phenona in the surroundings gradually began to dissipate.
Only a sword flashing with eerie light remained, not far from the ground.
"Alright, done."
After Cthulhu disappeared, Fang Mo also deactivated his power boost, returning to his original form, and then picked up the giant sword with one hand: "When I have ti, I'll hand it over to Nyarlathotep."
After saying this, Fang Mo stowed the giant sword behind him.
Like magic.
"It's finally over, huh?"
As Fang Mo had just put away the sealing sword, Saitama also walked over from a distance: "It seems like things got a bit out of hand this ti, this Earth..."
"Oh, it's fine, this is just a mirror space."
"I know this isn't reality, but making it like this still makes a bit uncomfortable..." Saitama sighed, then shook his head and said: "Let's just get out of here, and hopefully, we won't encounter such a level of monster next ti."
"Aren't you always looking for an equally matched opponent?"
Fang Mo asked, a bit curious.
"That's true."
Saitama first acknowledged with a nod, then helplessly said: "But if it's just for a fight and things get this ssy, then it's better not to encounter such opponents..."
"Typical of you, Sensei."
Fang Mo patted Saitama's shoulder, not saying much more: "Let's head back for now."
"Yeah, okay."
Saitama nodded: "How do we get back?"
"That's simple, just call the Ancient One."
Fang Mo smiled and then directly looked up at the sky and shouted: "Ancient One! Open the back door!"
"..."
However, after a few seconds, only a cold silence remained around.
"So, where's the door of Ancient One?"
Saitama asked.
