'Mag knew this matter wouldn't have a good ending the moment the woman recognized Annie.

The advanced civilization's being was indeed not to be underestimated. She even knew that he had met the Cthulhu before, and found out about Annie in an instant.

One had to know that even Irina with her light magic caster's identity didn't discover Annie's abnormality.

Mag stood in front of Annie, and said to Xi, "Actually, I'm very curious about who you are. A god? Or a being similar to those sealed fellows?"

Xi aimed her bullpup assault rifle at Mag, and coldly said, "I'm Xi, from the Elder Things. I am not a god or one of the sealed invaders. I'm an Observer, and now you're under arrest."

"The Elder Things?" Mag cocked his eyebrows. He was reminded of that ancient species in the Cthulhu Mythos that had starfish-like appendages.

Obviously, this woman called "Xi" had an appearance that appealed more to the human aesthetic and wielded technology that was beyond imagination.

Moreover, her words had also revealed one very important piece of information—'sealed invaders."

The Great Old Ones were deemed "invaders" in their civilization.

Furthermore, judging from her previous reaction, the Elder Things should have a very strong animosity towards Cthulhu and the other sealed Great Old Ones.

Additionally, her identity was the "Observer."

Listen, this term was filled with the superiority that an advanced civilization had for a more primitive civilization.

If this was a fantasy novel, she would a mediator-cum-spokeperson kind of existence.

"If your target is also the fellow that has escaped from the seal, perhaps we should sit down and talk about it instead of fighting to death first." Mag looked at Xi calmly. The Tian Du sword appeared next to him, with the tip pointing at Xi. "I know you are very strong. I'm very strong too. I'm confident that I

can kill you before you kill me."

Xi's expression turned solemn when she saw the black heavy sword that suddenly appeared.

This heavy sword had no edges, but it gave her the feeling that it was razor-sharp and a vague sense of being locked on.

She was familiar with that sensation. She could lock on the other party as soon as she raised her bullpup assault rifle.

And this human male did exactly the same when he took out his longsword.

He was indeed very powerful. This was a fact.

Xi looked into Mag's eyes, and asked, "Is this the power that Cthulhu gave to you?"

The new inhabitants' upper limit appeared a few thousand years ago. Powerhouses above the 10th-tier could no longer appear, but Mag's power had obviously surpassed the limit.

Mag shook his head slightly. "No. This is the power that I resealed him with."

"Resealed?" Xi's gaze flickered, and a hint of surprise appeared on her cold face. She said to Mag, "Did you reseal the Cthulhu in the center sealed area?

"Tcan only be considered as a participant. That wasn't something that could be done by one person." Mag shook his head, and sincerely said, "I am Mag Alex, a knight. I don't know what kind of existence the Elder Things are, but we can be friends if you guys also deem those evil existences that should be

sealed enemies."

Xi looked at Mag judgingly. After a moment of silence, she said, "You knew what I care for."

"Annie, go upstairs first, and don't let Amy come down." Mag turned to instruct Annie.

Annie glanced at Mag, and then looked at Xi. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded obediently, and went upstairs with the picture book in her arms.

After confirming that Annie had already gone upstairs, Mag said to Xi, "I have indeed met Cthulhu. It's not strange to meet one's opponent face to face. I've almost lost myself and handed my soul to him too."

Xi didn't speak, and simply looked at him.

"Tt was Annie who saved me at the critical moment. Lightning severed her from Cthulhu. She's the incarnation of kindness. There isn't any hint of evil in her. She was just like a newbom infant. That's why I adopted her, and concealed her identity from everyone," Mag said.

"The incarnation of kindness?" Wonder appeared in Xi's eyes.

She had undergone professional training before, but she had never heard of such an explanation before.

However, Mag indeed didn't look like he had sold his soul to Cthulhu, otherwise she would have discovered that as soon as she met him.

Meanwhile, although that girl had the Cthulhu's aura on her, she was as pure as a piece of blank paper. This was equally befuddling to her.

Xi said to Mag, "I can't trust what you said completely right now, and neither can I judge that girl's situation accurately. I need to bring you guys back to let the elders make the judgment."

"Tm sorry, but I can't accept that suggestion. Annie is my daughter, and not something that needs to be judged." Mag shook his head with a serious expression, and said to Xi, "Perhaps the Elder Things are a more advanced existence, but please don't underestimate a father's determination to protect his

daughter.

"She's not some devil. She's just a little girl who has started to interact with the world, and has great wishes for everything in life."

Xi looked at Mag.

Mag looked at Xi.

The gun versus the sword. The atmosphere was cold to the extreme.

After a long time, Xi put down the assault rifle first, and said coldly, "Do you know where we can find the lower half body of the Cthulhu that has escaped from the seal?"

"Tdon't know'—Mag also put down his sword—'but I should know some information that you don't know."

Mag heaved a breath of relief inwardly.

"You're my big brother," the system similarly commented with admiration inside Mag.

"Tm your daddy. Don't get the hierarchy wrong," Mag answered.

Next, Mag had a short and peaceful interaction with Xi.

If Elizabeth had an aloof coldness that would make people feel heartache for her after knowing her, then Xi's coldness was the real coldness.

Mag felt as though he was talking to an assassin without any emotions. The interaction was mechanical without any hint of emotions.

"Giant dragon. Rankster. I will find him." Xi nodded. This was the only useful information that she got from Mag.

After a brief interaction, Mag said, "He's a friend of mine. If you find him, I hope I can meet him even if it's the worst situation."

"Ican't guarantee that," Xi coldly replied.

Fortunately, Mag was already used to the way she talked.

"Twant to bring some of the girl's hair or nails back even if I can't bring the girl back. We need to study what kind of being she is," Xi said.

Mag shook his head, and solemnly said, "I won't hand any part of her to you, and I hope you guys will stop having designs on her. Otherwise, I will kill you even if you are a god."

"This world isn't what you see. Your power is only relative," Xi coldly warned.

"The power of the Elder Things is also limited, right? Otherwise, why would you have let the seals age without doing anything?" Mag asked in return.
