I Accidentally Angered the Most Wretched God [Infinite Flow]

[Infinite Flow, Cthulhu, Nonhuman, Sacrifice, Human Bottom, The Thousand-Faced God]

1. As an ordinary person, she killed a colossal energy being, a god said in ancient Native American legends to sleep beside R'lyeh.

An object from beyond the stars.

The moment Xing Xing saw It, she knew It was no good. Beautiful, capricious, and full of malice.

2. Human reason holds a law called the conservation of energy.

All you have to do is annihilate It, transform It, or consume It, and you can destroy It.

Id said, "Humanity will never reach the most correct physics. Materialism is just as fragile as idealism."

Before she sank into darkness, Xing Xing heard the voice of Its avatar. Then everything reset.

Yet every person and thing she knew had become It, trapping her in a stagnant space-time made up of It.

"What does this mean?"

Holding a newspaper, Xing Xing pointed to it, confused and irritated. What was this about Xing Xing sacrificing herself to destroy the ancient god and save all humanity, never to return from another dimension...

"Isn't this pretty good?"

"Good for you, great Id Hydra. I want to go home. Starting now, I'm quitting and retiring!"

Mainly because she still had millions in her bank account back in the real world.

3. In the deep water, Xing Xing saw the structure of her body: a gigantic spider's abdomen, with liquid threads stored inside it.

There was no point fighting a god. You would only die in all kinds of bizarre ways, just like she had now.

She saw Id's eight eyes, blood-red. It had grown spider eyes after devouring the spider.

"Anyway, I'm not the sort of pervert who likes tormenting people. So if you want to go back, go ahead. Humans are right about the conservation of energy. I'm just a mass of energy."

Actually, Id hadn't tried very hard to stop her. Xing Xing couldn't be bothered to listen to It prattle on and on, but her body turned into particles and gradually completed its transmigration. Id never broke Its word.

"So I've almost been consumed, too. I knew from the start you weren't my believer. Farewell, darling. Long live human reason (sanity)..."

She appeared completely unharmed at a memorial service where she was the guest of honor.

She hadn't even heard what Id said just then.

4. Xing Xing realized that after losing her, she had fallen madly in love with her god, overwhelmed by worship, inescapable guilt, and regret.

She used the sacrificial ritual she already knew to summon Id, but Id never appeared again.

Long live human reason. Humanity had killed a god.

5. The believer descended into a state of manic madness, and the asylum couldn't hold her.

"I will sacrifice all humanity, then offer myself to great Id."

A ritual circle in the mountains. A priest in a black hooded robe. The Necronomicon.

And so her god, Id, finally deigned to descend.

6. As the chain of memories came apart, Xing Xing gradually remembered that she really wasn't Id's believer.

She worshipped a dark, mad, more ancient and powerful Outer God, and spread Its "gospel." She had arranged the entire drama herself.

She summoned Id to plunge humanity into darkness and madness.

But after Id appeared, her personal madness eased considerably.

The news said that the madwoman who had once slain a god was doing better, thanks to finding her own love. Paparazzi caught her frequently attending events with a beautiful white-haired woman.

Id refused to accept the sacrifice.

"Under human law, you have no right to sacrifice the entire Earth to me. 'Earth' isn't your 'personal property.'"

Id pushed up her glasses.

Xing Xing had just watched her eat an entire copy of Civil Litigation with her coffee.

The way ancient gods learned things was strange. She noticed that many people in the cafe were looking their way.

People who ate books were a rare sight.

"You didn't have to answer the call of a heretic. So why did you come back?"
