Chapter 1890: Chaos Discharged

At the final four words, even Lin Qiye stood frozen in place.

Not to mention An Qingyu after being stripped of emotions—even the normal An Qingyu from before had never cursed. Now, this一句"关我屁事" from An Qingyu completely threw Lin Qiye into chaos.

He could already imagine how 【Chaos】 inside the asylum would react to these words...

Inside the asylum.

Looking at An Qingyu's expressionless face, 【Chaos】's originally very interested expression vanished instantly.

He stared at the screen, a full five seconds, confirming that An Qingyu was serious... His eyes filled with cold malevolence and killing intent, a terrifying pressure spreading to every corner of the ward!

"Hehehe... interesting."

【Chaos】 rose to his feet with a cold laugh, his dark face somewhat ferocious in the shadows. He gazed at An Qingyu in the screen like examining an extremely rare item.

"A fragment of an incomplete 【Key to the Gate】... dares to provoke me?"

As 【Chaos】's voice fell, the temperature throughout the entire asylum dropped rapidly, instantly changing from a bright, warm spring to a harsh winter, as if they were trapped in an ice cavern!

"This is bad!" Li Yifei, who had been napping in the courtyard, shivered violently and jolted awake. He glanced toward Building Five's direction and sprinted upstairs!

"Harbinger of misfortune! What do you think you're doing?!"

Li Yifei kicked open the door to Ward Five, where billowing black mist rolled out. 【Chaos】 stood in the center of the ward, staring at the void before him, his terrifying aura sweeping through the entire asylum from the ward door!

In the screen, An Qingyu's voice sounded again:

"You might think I'm provoking you, but I have no such boring emotions... I'm simply stating my viewpoint objectively."

"I know you're very strong. Even if a true 【Key to the Gate】 stood here, it wouldn't be your match. But this pathological personality of yours that only revolves around yourself determines that you can never truly become the leader of the Cthulhu Faction..."

"Everything I've done has been for the Cthulhu Faction. Whether it's Nicholas or other Cthulhu Faction gods, they all一致 believe I'm more suited to lead the Cthulhu Faction gods... After all, what winning a war requires has always been an excellent leader, not just a powerful madman."

"So, great Nyarlathotep, you just need to wait here quietly... We'll share the victory with you."

BOOM—!!

Killing intent, nearly condensed into substance, erupted violently from 【Chaos】. The terrifying impact blew Li Yifei, who was standing at the door, backward and shattered windows on other buildings!

"Qiye!! The harbinger of misfortune is going crazy! I can't hold him down!"

Li Yifei lay flat on the ground, hastily shouting toward the sky.

Almost simultaneously, a white-robed figure appeared out of thin air, rushing toward the ward where 【Chaos】 was!

Lin Qiye tore open a corner of 【Chaos】's aura and stepped directly into the ward, locking the door behind him, using the asylum's own rules to seal 【Chaos】 within this ward.

But 【Chaos】 acted as if completely unaware of Lin Qiye's presence. His eyes held nothing but An Qingyu's calm face!

As An Qingyu had said, his words carried no personal emotions whatsoever, absolutely objective... But the more this was the case, the more furious 【Chaos】 became.

"You? Leader of the Cthulhu Faction?" 【Chaos】's chilling laughter echoed within the ward, "What a joke. A fragment of an incomplete 【Key to the Gate】 has become this arrogant... Do you even know who the one person privileged to receive Lord Azathoth's grace is?

A mere ant that can't even communicate with that great one's consciousness dares to call itself a leader of the Cthulhu Faction?! Who gave you the audacity???"

Lin Qiye's pupils constricted sharply, catching the key point in these words.

Lord Azathoth??

So... the name recited during the Fourth Universe's madness is actually real?

And from the tone, His status is even higher than 【Chaos】's!

"Azathoth? Who's that?" Lin Qiye asked in a deep voice.

【Chaos】 glanced back at Lin Qiye, smiling on the surface but giving off an inexplicable chill... 【Chaos】 didn't answer his question, but instead slowly spoke:

"It seems this farce should indeed come to an end... my dear Director Lin."

Lin Qiye stood before the ward door, frowning:

"It's not four years ago anymore. You can't escape this asylum."

"Escape? Why would I want to escape?" 【Chaos】 pointed to the progress bar above his head, "A patient can leave the hospital once they're completely cured... Isn't that the asylum's rule?"

Lin Qiye's gaze sharpened. He quickly looked at the progress bar above 【Chaos】's head.

The progress bar that had been locked at 95% for years suddenly moved forward one notch—to 96%, then 97%, 98%, 99%...

"I told you, I'm not insane." 【Chaos】 smiled at Lin Qiye, his snow-white teeth like a crescent moon in the night, "To watch this wonderful performance, I've been suppressing my own treatment progress... Now, I'm leaving."

Under Lin Qiye's gaze, 【Chaos】's progress bar completed its final stretch. A succession of popups appeared before him!

"Nyarlathotep Treatment Progress: 100%"

"The Walker in Darkness Nyarlathotep treatment complete. Please leave the hospital immediately."

"Reward acquisition conditions met. Beginning random extraction of Nyarlathotep's divine abilities..."

Lin Qiye stared at the illusory gate materializing before 【Chaos】, disbelief flickering in his eyes... He had imagined ten thousand ways 【Chaos】 might escape the asylum—perhaps what was locked up was only an avatar? Perhaps He still retained some of the asylum's authority? Perhaps He used some means to threaten Lin Qiye into sending Him away...

But Lin Qiye never could have imagined that 【Chaos】's way of leaving the asylum would be老老实实地治愈出院—getting discharged after老老实实 being cured!

"Good lord... all those medicines poured down every day, completely wasted!" Li Yifei in the courtyard also saw the notification, helplessly covering his forehead.

"You won't be able to see my wonderful performances anymore, Director Lin..." 【Chaos】 stood before that illusory gate, speaking leisurely, "But starting today, I will become part of your performance... With my participation, your show is destined to be unprecedentedly spectacular!"

The words fell. 【Chaos】 stepped into the illusory gate, his form vanishing instantly.

The entire asylum fell into silence once more.

"This is going to be troublesome..."

Lin Qiye murmured to himself, immediately withdrawing his consciousness from the asylum, returning to his physical body!
