Entries in the Observer’s Diary.
“The new inhabitants of the southwestern waters, the Lantisde, found a way to break out of the seal by eating a certain dark-yellowish soil, and found a way to breathe out of the sea.
“However, due to the limited amount of soil, there are currently only about 2300 of them who have broken out of the seal. The numbers are increasing steadily, and all of them will be able to break out of the seal in three years.
“This race has guarded the entrance of the ancient city R’lyeh for 5230 years, exceeding the promised period by 230 years. The sea is currently in good condition, and the risk of it being damaged is rather low.
“The sealed memory status of this race has yet to be removed, and there is a rather low risk of the agreement being leaked.
“Situation evaluation: do not intervene!”
wee
“Traces of activities of the Great Old Ones were found in the southwestern waters, and are suspected to be related to the Cthulhu. However, an intervention was successful, wiping all out.
“Due to the failure to trace to the origin, it is suspected to have been done by a light-type magic caster.
“The remaining spiritual activity fluctuations have been removed.
“Situation evaluation: proceed to Cthulhu’s seal point for an in-depth investigation!”
wee
“The seal beneath Sky Isle had been broken. The lower half of the Cthulhu has disappeared.
“On-site: yet to discover the traces of the Cthulhu’s servant races. Judging from the extent of the damage, this is related to the strongest tier of the current ancient continent, or the Cthulhu’s mental control.
“Situation evaluation: category 1 incident! Already reported! Trace Cthulhu down immediately and reseal it!”
wee
“Central region’s seal has lost its effects due to the passing of time. Cthulhu’s upper half has succeeded in breaking out of the seal.
“However, the new inhabitants have resealed it, and left a set of cutting tools and mysterious transporting setup there. The cut-up body was transported somewhere else. The location cannot be confirmed currently.
“Very strong lightning traces were found in Cthulhu’s body. This power exceeds the upper limit of the new inhabitants. It is suspected that an off-limit powerhouse has appeared on the Norland Continent.
“Failure to trace the origin once again. Conjecture: perhaps it is related to the powers outside space?
“The new seal is currently stable. Due to the unlimited cutting, Cthulhu is currently weak, and might possibly be completely killed.
“Situation evaluation: surveillance elves left at the seal location to prevent Cthulhu’s lower half from attempting to break out of the seal to merge with its top!
“Continue tracing the mysterious powerhouse. Report if an off-limit powerhouse appears!
“New inhabitants have discovered the existence of Cthulhu. The extent of understanding under evaluation.

“part of Cthulhu’s body was found in an undocumented big city about 15 km away from the central seal region. Incredibly, it could be sold as an ingredient after it was processed, and was being bought by the new inhabitants to be cooked and eaten.
“Oh my gosh! Someone was actually eating Cthulhu!
“This ingredient was called: octopus tentacle.
“The method for eating this ingredient originated from a chef known as “Mag.” The shop selling Cthulhu’s body seemed to be related to him too. Take note!
“A machine known as a ‘steam engine’ was also found in this city. It produces kinetic energy by using the steam produced by burning coal to push a piston, thereby obtaining a stable and controllable form of kinetic energy to be used for transportation and production.
“This could be the sign of the ancient continent moving into the steam engine era. According to the current usage, the steam engine should be able to gain wide usage on the Norland Continent and cause a societal revolution!
“also, a ‘magazine’ has been hot-selling in this city. The reason was the chef named “Mag.” He seemed to be very popular.
“Situation evaluation: entering the steam engine era might bring about a large change to the Norland Continent. Specific effects are yet to be discovered.
“Take note of the mysterious person ‘Mag,’ and get in contact if necessary.”
ke
“Many mysterious passageways have been found on the ancient continent, joining many mysterious rearing places. There are obvious traces of species being transformed and reared. The owner of these places has yet to be found.
“A series of tools that were way more advanced than the technology of the current ancient continent were found at the rearing places. Suspected to be from external civilizations. Currently unable to ascertain if there are any hostile or invasive intentions involved.
“Situation evaluation: category 2 incident! Investigate the space passages, and find the possible intruder! Obtain samples and analyze the standard of civilization and threat!”
ke
“Traces of Cthulhu’s activity found in the Twilight Forest. The resentment of the dead was sucked out, and judging from the investigation results, it was not done by Cthulhu personally, but by a puppet that it controlled.
“The new inhabitants were still rather weak, and could not defend themselves. On top of that, they did not have the ability to search for the controller.
“Situation evaluation: number of puppets unknown. Cthulhu was attempting to regain its powers, and might cause more tragedies.”
ke
“Traces of Cthulhu’s puppet found in a newly established human country, ‘Roth Empire.’ Through ‘perception,’ the puppet was identified as a prince of the country. His identity has already been exposed.
“However, he was not currently in the city, and has temporarily disappeared.
“A suspected ‘nuclear’ power has been detected in this city.
“Situation evaluation: collect information on the puppet and continue to trace him. Perhaps the lower half of Cthulhu could be found.
“Identify the origin of ‘nuclear’ power. Check if it has anything to do with the external civilization.”

“Host, the System’s water temperature monitoring robot at the boundless sea realm crayfish rearing farm and the sunlight monitoring machine at the Twilight Forest soybean farm as well as the machines at various rearing farms have disappeared in these few days.”
The statement from the System rang in Mag’s head as he was flipping through ancient books.
“You can’t get me to reimburse that, right?” Mag replied without thinking, and continued to read.
“These machines had tracking devices installed for easy collection, but they are all gone.”
“Maybe they were destroyed by magic beasts.”
“There are surveillance cameras located at the farms as well. It is not possible for any magic beast to intrude no matter how powerful it is. Besides, there was no trace left behind in the surveillance cameras.
“They disappeared into thin air, and the tracking device has been blocked. This is a very odd situation. Therefore, I am reporting it to you,” the System said seriously.
Mag placed the ancient book down, and asked, “What does this mean?”
“It might be done by a powerhouse that is far stronger than what I can control, or they could have been taken by a thing from an even more advanced civilization,” the System replied.
“What kind of powerhouse?” Mag frowned.
“Something that is currently more powerful than the upper limit existing on the Norland Continent. Something similar to the Great Old Ones.”
“What about the civilization? Is there an even more advanced civilization than yours?” Mag asked.
“Lam a God of Cookery Cultivation System, and therefore am rather low in my technology setting. The objects from the trading center are all goods that the other systems had eliminated. Therefore, my civilization standard is only about that of Earth at 2050. I can only obtain some high-class clearance in
the logistic space,” the System said honestly.
“Even if the Great Old Ones had nothing to do, they wouldn’t steal your thermometer, right?” Mag was still in disbelief..
