They all call me an Outer God.

Then, it turned around and covered its sharp teeth with its two front paws, chuckling softly.

Since becoming Nyarlathotep's clone, I've had something interesting to see every day.

It never gets bored with anything, and neither does Sherger, but since the other party is constantly looking for it, isn't it interesting to hide itself?

Xia En felt that it was better for insects to live more freely, without worries and doing whatever they wanted, unlike a certain trade lord who was always worried and hesitant, not at all at ease. Xia En was afraid that the other party might have a change of heart and fall into a deep sleep like some of the old gods at the slightest disagreement.

Therefore, in order to prevent the other party from becoming so boring, believers should find ways to amuse their gods from time to time, so that their gods can fully experience the freedom and beauty of life.

For example, the place they are heading to doesn't contain anything related to the War Knights at all. On the contrary, it's the place where the Famine Seal is sealed. War should always be accompanied by famine; that's the correct law of nature.

Gods are different from humans. They are not beings who can become gods simply by being powerful in the traditional sense. These mythical beings are more or less tainted by "rules".

The Hephaestus are tainted by chaos, and they will stray further and further down the path of chaos. Ria is currently tainted by more rules. If he has truly swallowed the consciousness of war, then the current War Knight is just an empty shell without consciousness, and his appearance represents pure destruction.

On the contrary, this is the real "war" for Ria, and his desire to fight and destroy should be higher than ever before, but so far, Ria has behaved perfectly normally.

That's what's abnormal.

"Why hasn't he gone mad yet?"

Hephaestus once gathered to discuss this issue, betting on how long Ria, the vessel of divinity, could withstand it before going out of control, but the results often exceeded their expectations.

Ria Kercha was a cunning man. Favored by Yog-Sothoth, he knew how to disguise himself and how to assess the situation.

If anyone thinks he's crazy, then he must be deliberately acting this way.

No one knows the true nature of this person; he can disguise himself as any personality he desires.

"From this perspective, our Lord and the original body are quite similar."

“Even we don’t know where the main body found a bunch of souls and stuffed them into the divine vessel in a mess, or what criteria He used for making the choice, but the key lies in Ria.”

"If we want the original body to recover as soon as possible, we must do something to Ria... Hehehe, dear original body, you can even plan this far? All the Hephaestus are waiting to destroy everything you have with their own hands."

Shaen, in high spirits, led several adventurers deeper into the mountains, his tentacles twirling.

Not long after they left, a young man wearing a jackal mask appeared in the same spot, looking around as if searching for something.

"Where did the Xia Ge insect go? My clone told me it was nearby—damn it, I knew they'd lied to an honest man like me again." Selge kicked a nearby stone in frustration and took out a dry naan bread from the pack on his back to eat.

Xia En is a Xia Gai demon insect. He once worshipped the supreme deity's avatar, whom no one dared to mention or disturb. Therefore, all living beings should be hostile to them.

Yes, it's hostility.

Although that being is supreme, it is estimated that few mythical creatures would like Him. He can create everything, and destroying everything is naturally just as easy for Him.

"There's already enough going on, and Shane is starting to get out of control."

Sergei finished the last bite of naan bread, stood up, brushed the crumbs off his clothes, and looked up at the moon in the sky.

The crimson moonlight pierced through the dark leaves of the night, falling on the grass like layers of spider webs.

“No one is in control of their own destiny in this world. I really don’t want to get involved in Nyarlathotep’s mess…” Serge sighed slightly. “You’ll have to step up your game, God. Only when a puppet becomes powerful enough to break free of its strings and kill its master can it gain temporary freedom. We will pave the way for you before that day.”

Plague, war, famine, and then death.

Now, war has come.

"Where did that damn Xia En go?"

Sherger walked forward step by step, not knowing whether Shane was there or not; he simply preferred to follow his intuition.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea, Ria wielded a scythe formed from her tentacles, reaping the lives of those sea monsters like a grim reaper.

"If you want to get onto land, how about I help you?"

Ria stretched out her finger and wrote obscure and difficult characters in mid-air. As the last letter fell, the creatures suddenly struggled on the surface of the water as if they were drowning.

Delos was taken aback, not so much by the outcome, but by the process.

As a meme-2 superhuman, Delos knew all too well what had happened.

Just as Ria finished writing the text, the surrounding sea dwellers evolved in an instant.

They originally relied on their own respiratory organs to move and survive in the seawater. Even those ancient people had long since mutated due to being immersed in the seawater for too long, and had grown gills.

What Ria did was replace the gills and give them the freshest lungs.

Is this really possible?

Delos stared at Ria in disbelief. Ria withdrew her hand, and the words disappeared automatically.

"Isn't it interesting to do this? Since they want to evolve, let's satisfy them. But everything has a price. Evolution that is too rapid is not a good thing."

After saying that, Ria bowed to the red moon above her head: "What do you think, Lady Red Moon?"

Red Moon naturally did not answer any of Ria's words, and Ria did not expect Him to communicate with her. After hovering in mid-air for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, Ria dropped a dark cocoon onto the sea.

This thing looks just big enough to hold one person, and it is none other than Ria's mentor, Ivand.

"What do you want to do?" Delos asked Ria, but the young man gestured for silence.

“You may not know this, but I have always wanted to resurrect this person, even though I instinctively fear him.”

“That’s right, it’s fear… Why am I fearful of my mentor? It might also be related to the memories I was forced to receive. Our relationship has always been very delicate.”

Rather than saying that the mentor and Ria had a good relationship, which is why Ria stayed by his side, it would be more accurate to say that the mentor was always watching over Ria as the key to the door, preventing Ria from casually disposing of this body.

Of course, Ivand did have a good relationship with Ria, but his body was filled with malice, and no one knew what would happen if he were awakened.
