Chapter 157: Aliens (Bonus)
Nathan sucked a cold breath.
The four ancient kingdoms. The Azilia Kingdom turned out to be one of them. He couldn't help but ask, "What deeds did they do to earn that nickname?"
She shook her head helplessly. "It was unimaginable. They were like barbarians. They ruled with strength, not caring about anyone else.
"Someone didn't like your boots, and they could kill you out of nowhere. Only those who were strong could survive. Whether you liked it or not, someone could enter your house and kill you without being punished.
"When Asura came and governed that land, he killed all his enemies. There was no mercy for those who opposed him.
"One time, there was a huge city of 200,000 people opposing him. He killed 50,000 of their soldiers. The rest surrendered, and what did he do to them? He beheaded every single one of them, no matter if they were elderly, females, or children.
"That kind of mentality made them the most feared nation among the four. They knew that the first thing the other three kingdoms had to do when they invaded was to ensure they could win. If they couldn't, it would be best to just surrender without a fight.
"It was said that Asura was responsible for over twelve million deaths in his life. And he was only 35 years old when the alien attacked."
"!!!" Nathan widened his eyes in shock. He could imagine the devastation Asura would bring the moment once he came.
He never thought that a single man would cause all that at such a young age.
"According to the record left behind by the survivors of the Asura Kingdom, a black giant hole emerged in the sky. After that, a conglomeration of glowing, iridescent spheres emerged from that giant hole.
"Those spheres looked to pulse and shift constantly, defying any clear or fixed form. It was only for a moment, but the appearance of those spheres scared the entire Asura Kingdom.
"After that, numerous aliens fell from the sky and started terrorizing the land. From an alien smaller than a human to one that could crush an entire city by itself… all of them came and destroyed the Asura Kingdom.
"You have to remember that they didn't have anything like Ena back then. The Asura led his troops and fought all the aliens that came in their way, but it was useless.
"There were aliens that couldn't be pierced even with a ballista or destroyed with a trebuchet.
"However, the world once again realized the strength of the Asura Kingdom. Despite such an overwhelming disadvantage, they also managed to kill more than eighty thousand aliens. While they were mostly proto-class and juvenile class aliens, it halted their advance for a few years.
"The aliens they buried those few years laid the foundation of the new alliance and the survival of this world.
"Even so, the alliance couldn't do anything against those aliens because of their overwhelming physical advantages."
Nathan's eyes were wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Yog-Sothoth?!" Nathan gasped.
"Yog—what?" The Fairy Queen tilted her head in confusion. "Do you know what being is it? Now that I think about it, you are from a different world. Does your world have that kind of knowledge?"
Nathan looked down for a moment, contemplating. 'Yog-Sothoth is most known as the Gate and the Key. It is known to have vast knowledge and can manipulate time and space. With that description and the knowledge about his power, there are no other Outer Gods that can actually fulfill this role.
'In other words, the aliens are indeed coming from that series. Does that mean I have to fight against those Outer Gods such as Azathoth or Nyarlathotep?'
Nathan couldn't help but wonder if that was possible, even with the divine beasts by his side. No, this world might be the key. If his divine beasts could grow even stronger and match their strength, there was a chance he could rival them.
There was one more thing that didn't make sense.
'If Outer Gods exist, that means the knowledge about aliens humanity possesses is not enough. In addition, those aliens are being assisted by symbiote. No, wait. Are those Outer Gods getting controlled by the symbiotes?
'If I think about this, doesn't that mean there are more symbiotes that are so strong they are basically equal to the Outer Gods? Something like an apex class symbiote. What we currently know is up to elite class symbiote.'
When he thought about the possibility of those Outer Gods being controlled, Nathan realized what kind of being he had to be prepared for.
"Hello? Do you hear me? What is this Yog-Sothoth?" Charlotte frowned. "If you know something, please share it with me. I can update the information so that I can get a better understanding about those aliens."
"Ah!" Nathan snapped. "It's nothing."
Charlotte frowned before coming closer to Nathan, pinning him on the wall. "Come on, Handsome. Why don't you start talking about it?"

Nathan shook his head. "If the one in front of me is your real body, I might consider it, but for now, it's best not to say anything about it."
Charlotte didn't like the answer, but there was really nothing she could do. She said, "You have promised you will summon my real body, right? Right? Right?!"
Her gaze was intense and desperate. It was as if she would do something insane if he didn't fulfill his promise.
"I know, I know. I'll definitely summon you. I promise." Nathan waved his hand. "How about continuing the story?"
Charlotte didn't really like to continue because Nathan kept the information for himself. But if he annoyed him, she might never learn anything. It seemed she could only comply.
"Well, once the alliance was built, it was at that time they discovered how to summon beings from other worlds as well.
"The aliens didn't bring devastation alone. They also brought hope to fight back. Those cores contained the Ena that could be devoured by humans.
"Thus, the first generation of summoners was born. The twelve strongest summoners that repelled those aliens and created a stalemate between humans and aliens were known as 12 Heroes."
