Old allies

(MC POV)

After our little party is over, I stand up and slowly walk to the throne room where my original body is. By reaching him, I transfer my consciousness from my first body to my original body.

Returning to my original body, I slowly concentrate, extending my reach across the entire galaxy, until I begin to feel and see the energy of the entire galaxy. As I watch the scene, I begin to feel an energy that is the same as the energy I am using.

I focused all my efforts on that exact spot and found a solar system only 10 light years away from our home system. I slowly concentrate my powers as I open a portal to the planet.

Passing through the portal on the new planet, I can't help but feel a massive amount of eldritch energy permeating the entire planet, spreading through the ecosystem and mutating it into forms that would drive normal people crazy and turn them into crazy cultists.

Going around the whole area, looking around it, I determine that I am in an unusual forest of mushrooms. Giant mushrooms that defy all reason seem to be everywhere as far as the eye can see.

I approach the mushroom and stick the tentacle into the tree itself, absorbing some of the mushroom's juice. I start analyzing the juice and I can't believe what it's made of.

The juice itself consists of the blood of some intelligent humanoid. I analyze it again.

I do a few more analyzes and they all say the same thing. The juice consists of the blood of an intelligent species from this planet. I take the tentacles and use them to break one of the mushrooms. Watching the mushroom break, I notice that the mushroom is extremely durable and difficult to destroy.

I approach the place where the mycelium is and with my tentacles I dig into the dense and thick white mycelium. I reach the end of the mycelium and confirm my assumption. The deepest parts of the mycelium contain hundreds if not thousands of humanoids attached to the fungus itself. Simply put, the fungus feeds on them by sucking their blood and flesh.

As I emerge from the hole with an unpleasant discovery, I watch as the mycelium itself quickly regenerates and repairs any damage. Fascinating, I have to praise the creator of these mushrooms when I find them. The only real question is for what purpose someone grows these mushrooms.

I was pulled out of my fascinated thinking by the energy signature of a powerful being flying towards me. I look at the sky and see a mysterious being descending, suddenly hitting the ground and making a big hole in the ground. Less than a second later she will teleport to within 8 meters of me.

Teleporting the creature gives me a better chance to see the strange creature and see a pale child in white clothes that looks like a little girl. The being slowly changes its clothes from white to pink. When the change is over, she looks at me with her red eyes and slowly starts to approach me with a big smile.

I concentrate the pure energy of destruction into a single tentacle and direct it at the strange being. While I was doing that, she just stopped and with a worried face started saying "Master, don't you recognize me, I am Duiga, your faithful servant".

I look at her confused, "I don't remember you, in fact I don't remember most of my life" I tell her.

"Master, it is your decision to initially limit your memory and your power," she says.

I ask confused "Why would I do that, please explain".

"Of course, master, you chose to limit your power and memory in the beginning because you wanted to conquer and test this universe. Your last order was to order me to ascend to the same universe and build a stronghold until you contact me. You taught me a special to the spell I should perform to restore your powers and remaining memories." she says with fanaticism in her eyes.

I don't feel lies, that means he's telling the truth. Although I'm still confused as to why I came to this universe in the first place.

"How did you get to this planet, how did you take control of it, did you plant those mushrooms and if so, for what purpose?" I ask her, expecting an answer.

He slowly approaches me and looks at me fanatically and says "I came to this planet over five years ago when you released some of your energy into the entire galaxy. I whispered in the ears of many inhabitants of this planet driving them crazy by telling them secrets they were not supposed to know. I am easy recruited them into cults and gave them the knowledge to summon me. Once summoned, I used my powers to present myself as a goddess and unite the entire planet under my control in less than two weeks."

She came a little closer to me and continued to speak in a too soft and perfect voice "The mushroom is called the Bloody Horror, I planted it using the blood and flesh of the inhabitants of this planet. The mushroom itself is very tasty and nutritious, but its main properties are that they I can make very strong narcotics that will allow us to quickly expand your influence over the entire universe."

"You mean to say that you fed mushrooms to countless living beings in order to produce drugs?" I ask with a frown.

"Narcotics produced from this mushroom cause addiction from which it is impossible to get rid of. People who use mushroom narcotics are our mind slaves from the first moment. They are ready to do anything for more drugs. The mushroom itself has several smaller applications besides the ones I listed" she says.

While I'm thinking about what she told me, she approaches me and falls on her knees, bowing to me, "Lord, I'm glad to serve you again," she says euphorically.

"Stand up, loyal daughter, you don't have to bow to me," I say with a smile.

"What happened to the natives of this planet?" I ask

She quickly stands up at my words "The inhabitants of this world were called Tozuns. They numbered close to 11 billion at the time of my arrival. All Tozuns were driven to madness by the knowledge they received and their minds were broken and reshaped to worship you. Currently their population is dropped from 11 billion to less than 2 billion " she says.

I think about what she said and with horror and surprise at the very thought that 9 billion Tozuna died in just 5 years. "Daughter, how did you manage to kill so many in such a short time".

"Father, I have been building new cities and the infrastructure needed for space flight, mass blood sacrifices serve to strengthen our infrastructure, and the mushrooms themselves require a regular supply of blood for high growth. All Tozuns are now used for work, cannon fodder, new eldrittch horrors and as sacrifices for strengthening our infrastructure. They have been rebuilt in our image, father". she says in a fanatical tone

"Very interesting, you talked about a ritual that should restore my memories and remaining power," I ask.

"I am, we can perform the ritual right away if you want, just follow me" she says and offers me her hand

I just nod to her answer and take her hand with a smile. She just smiles at my gesture and teleports us to the center of the newly built city, to a huge temple.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the teleportation, I turn on my senses and feel that the entire city, as well as the temple itself, is built of greasy black stone. The city itself is fortified with a huge number of spells and traps ready to kill any invader. The shadows themselves are alive, just like on our ships.

I watch as Duiga lets me go and calls the priests who come quickly. While I watch them draw circles and draw magic formulas, I watch the guards bring in hundreds of cultists. Among the cultists there are both women and men, young and old. All cultists show extreme physical mutations, but the worst in them are their eyes, in their eyes I see only fanaticism and madness.

Duiga approaches me and says, "Father, for the ritual, you need to enter the center of the ritual circle."

"I understand" I say and enter the center of the circle.

After I enter the circle, the priests call the cultists to stand around me. All the cultists stood around the circle and I was in the middle.

I see the priests taking knives, scissors, axes and other sharp weapons, I see how the priests take the first cultist and cut his guts and use the knife to cut off the head, the head is then pushed into the hole from the stomach. The second cultist was skinned by a and strangled with it. The third cultist cut off their own mouth and eyes with scissors and pushed the scissors through the opening of the eyes, killing himself.

Each cultist died in an increasingly bloody and worse way, when the last cultist was killed the priests formed a circle around me and began to sing

"Ehyeog n'gha tharanak 'bthnkyar gof'nn hai ch' cshagg ep, gotha ​​uln y-'bthnk hai ftaghu shtungglioth gnaiih ee nahai kadishtu. Gnaiih hafh'drn y-lw'nafh nnnn'gha nog fm'latgh phlegeth r' luh ehye naflshugg 'ai ch' Surath, ebunmaoth athg ftaghu hafh'drn R''fhalma ph'mg ehye h'ya y'hah.

Gnaiih hai fm'latgh ehye vulgtm athg 'bthnk, ph'gnaiiha ph'r'luh ngebunma ooboshu syha'h, bug s'uhn phlegeth ah ngli'hee."

The song was unnatural, a normal person would either hear nonsense or go crazy from understanding the words. The words echoed more and more through the temple while the black stone was pulsed, the circles were activated as the energy came out. The energy merged until it formed a blue ball of energy that headed towards me, the ball hit me absorbing into me.

The moment the energy was absorbed into me, I felt a huge surge of power enter me, unlocking my full power. I felt like I was in heaven, my full power was unlocked. And then my sleeping memories started to wake up, I remembered everything, I watched how universes were created and destroyed, how stars were created, the origin of life and much more. My power wanted to be used but I stopped it because otherwise I would blow up half the star system.

"I am Z'ymbrax,Anaris,voice in darkness,eldritch emperor and countless other names and titles. I have regained my full power, beware universe I am coming for you!!! I screamed sending waves of eldritch energy throughout the galaxy. My scream it was so strong that it completely destroyed the 3 planets closest to the star.If I hadn't held back I would have blown up half the galaxy.

Ending the scream, I watch as Duiga and the remaining priests bow to me.
