Currently on chapter: 122 - by the end of today it will be 124, I started a new... rather interesting arc for those that know of the mythos and it's ramifications.

————————————————————————————-

I don't know what exactly Nyarlathotep did, but I… wasn't anywhere right now, everything was black and I felt as if I was floating adrift, no sounds, no body, nothing but my mind thinking. I suppose in the end, this is better than dealing with that monster… to think my father was…. him, what an unexpected development. One that brought me many questions, according to the Lovecraftian myths, he had a son before me, one that was supposed to be a gate, to where? Nobody really knew, but it was stated more than once, he wanted a gate.

If only I knew exactly what exactly meant to be a gate, I would find a way to mess with his plans, but it wasn't so easy. Regardless of that, I first had to figure out where I was.

Think Adam think… if you were an evil entity capable of existing in every plane of existence where would you send your kid… oh god… for all I knew, I could be in another universe… until he brings me out wherever hell hole he sent me.

Well… if that was the case, I guess all that was left was to find a way out of wherever I was, after all, if there was a way in… there was a way out.

[???? Later]

Without a point of reference, time has no meaning… which was the case for me… I have no idea how long I've been trapped in whatever hell hole the bastard of a father I have dropped me, but… it has been so long, that I doubt he even remembers, perhaps I was to be here until he needed his gate.

"Brothers and sisters! For far too long we have waited to bring back our Lord from his wrongful imprisonment! Tonight, by the darkness in our hearts, we return unto him the freedom he lost! The Living Nightmare shall walk again amongst the waking world!"

Voices… a cult of something?"

The guy certainly sounded like the type of guy to convince others it was best to drink poisoned drinks and stuff. As the cultists started to chant, I felt a pull… as if I was being… forced out of the prison I… a God, had failed to break.

"How are they pulling this off…?" I asked myself in disbelief.

As the chanting continued a buzzing sensation of magic engulfed my body, and I felt a final pull, making me reminisce about the day I was born.

Blinking away the blinding light rushing to my eyes for the first time in who knows how long, I found myself staring into a room full of cultists, judging by their clothes… and appearances, this wasn't anywhere I was familiar with.

"We are at your command. Your will be done." They all said in one voice kneeling, robes touching the floor, "It's an honor to be in your presence, oh terrible one,"

"Who do you think I am?" I asked the cultist.

"The living nightmare, the end of all beginnings, the darkness of every light, Adamas the void king," The head cultist replied, his face full of emotion, showing. Loyalty to me… undying loyalty, and love, obsessive love..

"Where am I?" I asked, that was the most important question, after all.

[Adam POV - Brazil ]

One moment, I was feeling how my avatar in hell was meeting with Nyarlathotep, and the next I felt nothing coming from our proxy, yet our power remained the same, meaning he was alive, but where?

And most importantly… how would I rescue myself from the prison Nyarlathotep pushed me into, "I think I need to go and talk with Odín," I told my teachers, who by now knew that I knew who my father was, and that I knew that they knew before that I knew and told them.

"Nyarlathotep is a force to be reckoned with," Sun Wukong sighed, "But is one that always acts and moves with a purpose behind… his very disturbing actions. If you are still alive, it means he plans to use you somehow… or wants to see you suffer, either way… we must make haste, the longer the you of hell stays wherever he sent you to… the more devastating the result will be…"

"Then let's go," I snapped my fingers and teleported to Asgard.

[Odin POV]

Adam had been kidnapped by his father, at least a part of him, and now one of Adam's avatars was coming to talk with me. But in reality there wasn't much I could do, Nyarlathotep had sent Adam far out of my reach, to a place where I had no access to, probably with the purpose of pushing the monster within him out, birthing a new outer god into existence.

This complicated things, "So… when did you planned to tell me…" the version of Adam I had been training asked.

"Eventually, my idea was to make you strong enough to rebel against him," I admitted.

"So… why was I so human then?" Adam asked.

"Well, Leto as the Titaness of Motherhood can control how her babies will come out genetically speaking, by basically controlling how much of each parent you had, in layman's terms how much of her you had… how little of him you had and while she most definitely didn't know who your dad was… a part of her must had knew something about was wrong, which is why she decided to cut as much from him off you as possible, but even then… a part of him must survive…" I sighed.

"I'll be honest, even Zeus would've been a better option, I have but one day of meeting the guy, and he already yeeted me into what I assume is another dimension," Adam chuckled bitterly, "I'm so overwhelmed I don't feel like pranking anyone… my life is so fucked, I go from one trauma to the other, without even having time to deal with them… I just want to breath Odín… that's all I ask, one moment of peace,"
