What if Nyarlathotep Existed?

Nyarlathoptep, the crawling chaos, is one of the incredible powerful deity's found in the pages of writer H.P lovercrafts books. In association with the Cathullu mythos. He was created by Lovecraft after he had one of the most horrible and realistic dreams of his life which gave him inspiration for this character and his many other books.

Now the question goes as follows “What if Nyarlathotep was real?” So, what if this deity wasn’t just one of the gods written down on the pages of Lovecraft’s work.

History

Nyarlathotep is one of the of only deity’s that can communicate in any human language, as most of the other gods speak in an incomprehensible language, he is also the only god that can shape shift to hide his true form. Nyarlathotep walks among earth influencing humanity in many different ways, in the past he has chosen to take the form of an Egyptian pharaoh

and later taken on the form of a woman with tentacles and many mouths in china and has

been referred to as the Tik Tok man when disguising himself as complicated machinery when engaging with more technically advanced civilisations.

Nyarlathotep is commonly depicted as a messenger for the outer gods in the mythos. Acting as a servant of Azathoth on of the most powerful deity’s in the mythos.

Capacities

It is Widely debated how strong he really is because of how vague the power differences are shown for each character in his books. Nyarlathotep is able to forcefully make others worship him making them his followers and has done this in the past by welding magical instruments he used across the world to make unwilling humans follow him. So, what if this all powerful Being was not spawned in one of Lovecraft’s dreams but actually existed.

consequences/possibilities

In our modern area Nyarlathotep would most likely take the form of a rich and powerful human to attract attention. But what would happen if that was the case? It would most certainly have to depend on his goals. In the literature he acts in different ways from trying to enslave humanity to attempting to help us. So, if Nyarlathotep decided to enslave humanity? Well to be truthful there would not be much that we could do about such a case as most of lovecrafts creations possess a ridiculous amount of power. Not only does he possess immense power, but he is also intelligent beyond belief. Any attempts to stop such a creature would be futile and humanity would end up being forced to worship him.

Nyarlathotep: The Prose Poems of H. P. Lovecraft “His unwilling followers would be unable to resist the call of the outer god, even the most head strong and stubborn wouldn’t stand a chance against the irresistible will of the entity.” Even if there were reports and warnings of such a thing, it would be most likely that people would panic go into hiding. He would be seen as the ruler of earth and reshape the world as he seems fit.

Another thing that he would possibly do is not make himself present and use his great influence to manipulate different world powers to go against one and other too slowly start conflict so that we eventually destroy ourselves, which will most definitely be least troublesome option for him

On the bright side of this, there is still the possibility of him helping humanity, mostly likely advancing our ever-growing technological world to amazing heights, ending poverty and

bringing world peace. At the end of the day rest easy as this is a character of fiction.
