They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 309 What are your opinions?

Just as Ria's mind began to wander, the ship had already drifted past several buildings.

With a "splash," a fish fin emerged from the bottom of the water and quickly disappeared back into the depths, splashing up countless waves.

"Here we are!"

Emigana had been happily trying to introduce Ria to the hospital where she was interning, but when a wave suddenly splashed on her head and she couldn't help but shiver, her mood began to change.

The building ahead seemed to be their destination, but at this moment, it was surrounded by hordes of Deep Ones.

These creatures, compared to the half-human, half-deep diver Emigana, look more like fish. They have sharp fins growing from the top of their heads that connect directly to their tails, and their facial features are just like those of a real fish.

This reminded Ria of the sea people in Grani Town. Perhaps they were all Deep Ones with impure bloodlines. The true Deep Ones had already escaped into the Abyss Remains, and it was unlikely that a new orthodox Deep One race would appear outside.

The deep-sea divers are quite intelligent. At this moment, they are gathered together, with a small number standing on the only small piece of land in front of the building, while most of the deep-sea divers are half-submerged in the seawater, with only the upper half of their bodies exposed, their gills constantly opening and closing.

Even with such a dense concentration of them, a large circular area of ​​sea remained in the center at this moment. All the deep-sea divers were staring at the surface of that area, and few noticed the arrival of Erigana and his group.

"Was that some kind of ceremony?"

Ria lowered her voice, trying not to disturb the Deep Ones, while Emigana's eyes widened, making her already protruding eyes look as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Why is the mayor here today?"

"mayor?"

As Ria looked at the empty expanse of water, not long after, all the deep-sea creatures suddenly rioted, their mouths wide open, moving away from their original positions and swimming swiftly across the sea.

The next second, there was a loud "boom" and Lia saw the huge creature break through the water and reveal half of its head. Even that half of its head was already nearly three stories high.

No wonder all the deep-diving creatures fled so quickly.

"Wait, if that's only half its head, then underwater—"

Ria stared down, the pitch-black seawater making it difficult to see anything clearly. Perhaps all below was the body of that behemoth. Compared to the deep-sea creatures that still possessed some human characteristics, this behemoth had completely degenerated into a fish, the fact that it didn't even have legs was the best proof of that.

After observing for a long time, the young man finally glimpsed some traces of snake-like movement in the blurry, murky seawater. It was probably its tail... covered with knife-like fins and an enormous tail.

"Gulu."

The giant beast looked this way, and Emirina immediately became extremely alert, quickly lying down on the ship and not daring to look at the giant beast again.

At this moment, all the Deep Ones expressed utmost respect, bowing in their own way to the colossal beast at the center.

"Your Excellency Mayor, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Ria took off her hat and placed it over her heart.

The giant beast stared at Ria with its murky fish eyes. Under its gaze, Ria felt her skin burning intensely, as if sharp fish scales were about to grow out of her, and her teeth were showing signs of growing longer and sharper.

He remained silent for two seconds, then opened his golden eyes without hesitation to meet its gaze. In less than a moment, the giant beast submerged into the deep sea on its own.

As it changed direction and swam downwards, part of its terrifying giant tail lingered on the surface of the water before being completely swallowed by the seawater.

"..."

"It swam away."

As Ria watched Emigana get up, trembling like a sieve, and then tremble even more violently after looking up, she couldn't help but remind her.

"You...you have grown so many fish scales, and your teeth have become so sharp...you're almost like me." Oh no, its experimental subject is completely ruined.

"It's not a big problem."

Lia remained motionless, and after a moment, the strange phenomena disappeared on their own.

Emigana was stunned by the scene. It pointed at Ria and stammered, unable to utter a single word. After a long while, it finally accepted reality as if resigned to its fate. Now, it would no longer be surprised no matter what the experimental subjects turned out to be.

Its heart had become as cold as the seawater beneath the ship.

"Honestly, I'm very surprised. Do you know what the mayor just said?"

"What did it say?"

"It says it likes you very much."

……

The leader of all the Deep Ones who dwell in the Black Sea within the Abyss, the oldest among them, is named Dagon.

This is merely a title, just like the title of another female Hydra. Once it dies, it is automatically inherited by the eldest member of the group, thus ensuring its immortality.

No Deep Ones have ever seen what the first Dagon looked like, but that does not diminish their worship and obedience to all Dagons.

Faced with the mayor's last words before leaving, the other Deep Ones all turned their attention to Ria. They swam around Ria, seemingly trying to figure out what was so special about him.

Fearing that these inhuman creatures might suddenly do something extreme, Erigana quickly stretched out his arm to attract their attention.

"This is the human who appeared here last time, also known as Experiment 015. I just brought him here for a medical check-up, so please don't get so agitated."

"Emilyana... Ugly Emilyana, what right do you have to make demands of us?"

One of the deep-diving creatures grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp, long metal teeth. Ria could even see the flesh and blood of some creature between its teeth.

As it approached, a fishy and rusty smell, even more distinctive than that of the original Sea People, wafted towards us.

Ria grabbed Emigana's arm and pulled him behind her, then raised her cane and pointed it at the deep diver in the water.

What are your opinions?

"boom!!!!!"

Before it could finish speaking, Ria suddenly raised its weapon and slammed it down, knocking the Deep One belly-up on the spot.

"..."

All living things were stunned.

Lia comforted them: "Don't worry, your kind didn't die. This force won't kill it, but it might next time."

This child is already insecure about its appearance. If you keep mocking it, it might have a meltdown one day and bite you all to death while you're sleeping.

"How do you know me……"

Emigana considered killing those who mocked its people, but ultimately abandoned the idea and decided to devote itself to medicine.

In this way, it will no longer suddenly recall those mocking laughs that saddened the fish.
