[Global Mythology Crossover × Cthulhu’s Twilight × Modern Realist Retelling]
Myths are nothing more than ancient ways of writing documentary literature.
At the “Best Creator” awards, Nüwa and God are nominated side by side: one runs a clay assembly line, the other offers a bespoke model made with a puff of breath.
The Old Man Under the Moon and Cupid tug at each other’s hair in front of the Tree of Marriage, fighting over the title of “Deity in Charge of Valentine’s Day.”
The Jade Emperor, Zeus, and Odin, the three permanent divine members of the Pantheon, shake hands in public while undercurrents swirl behind the scenes. The international situation among the gods is even more turbulent and treacherous than the one in the human world.
Cthulhu rises again, and the Twilight of the Gods premieres worldwide at the same time. There are no spectators. Everyone is a star.
The Pantheon holds a meeting to decide which pantheon will provide the savior.
“Our Chinese pantheon will do it. You’re up!”
“Huh? Who? Me?”
And so our unwilling Eastern savior stands trembling before Cthulhu, only to hear a whisper: “Bro, you... smell delicious!”
The savior asks in all sincerity, “How can I get back alive? Asking online, and I’m in a bit of a hurry.”
Welcome to the modern age of mythology, where the gods don’t save humanity because they’re even crazier than humans.
