They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 182 The Contamination Characteristics of Faceless

"I……"

"Forget it, you don't need to answer this question. Anyway, what you said is definitely not what you really mean. Isn't that one of the advantages of being in a position of power?"
Those people can hear anything they want from your mouths, and you can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out, like quails.

Lia smiled as she watched the overseer, who was filled with hatred yet forced to appear submissive. The others turned to look at the overseer, but no one said a word.

If this scene were described as a work of art, "The Silence of the Lambs" might be a fitting title.

"Doesn't anyone want to say anything more...?"

Ria gradually grew bored. After finding a way to control the overseer, he allowed everyone to move around freely, to leave if they wanted, and to stay if they wanted.

The result was still that no one moved.

Their minds had become numb. Perhaps someone had accelerated this process with extraordinary means. Ria looked around. The assembly lines were still running, and some people's hands never left the screws above.

"The only way to alleviate this situation is to give you a new boss."

After a moment's thought, Ria decided to deal with Birdwin now and, while he was at it, extract information about the mastermind behind the murder from him.

"Where is Birdwin?" he asked the overseer, who shuddered and looked away.

"He is...he is..."

"Whoosh!" The man suddenly leaned back and touched a rope. If he pulled it, something beyond human imagination would appear, and the man in front of him would immediately rust and die.

That's right, all you need to do is pull it slightly!
The factory owner will definitely praise him!
His eyes widened, bloodshot, clearly indicating that dealing with Ria was now the most important goal in his life.

We're almost there.

It's almost there!
The foreman's eyes widened, and his hand drew ever closer to the rope. Just as his hand was about to touch it—

Are you looking for this?

Ria appeared behind him without him noticing, clutching the rope in his hand. Facing the overseer's incredulous gaze, his voice sounded like that of a demon from hell.

Then, the young man suddenly pulled on the rope.

"Wow!"

"Woo——————"

The sound of sirens seemed to quickly spread throughout the factory, and everything seemed to freeze for a moment. A layer of reddish-brown rust mixed with dark blue rust quickly appeared on the surrounding walls and spread rapidly, serpentinely winding its way towards Ria.

Ria discovered that wherever he went, the rust followed him with a clear objective and quickly surrounded him.

If he were to come into contact with this thing, he would probably become like a piece of long-abandoned machinery, rusting away, and the ferrous element inside his body would undergo an oxidation reaction.

A normal person would certainly die on the spot from such contamination, and Lia didn't want to test the power of this rust without any reference point to compare it with.

He tensed his muscles, ready to destroy the walls with his tentacles, but the next second, he suddenly froze as if he had seen something.

The rust quickly covered his body, making him look like a rusty bronze statue.

With its dark red and dark green hues, the bronze statue, at first glance, looks as if it had been splashed with blood and left to cool and stagnate for many years.

Outside the door, a familiar face strode in with short, cheerful steps. He looked at Ria, now turned into rusty metal, and spat disdainfully on the ground. "What dares to act arrogantly on my turf? This factory is full of extraordinary products. Once you're in, no one can leave safely."

Birdwin looked around, then took a hacksaw from a nearby machine and swung it directly at Ria.

The moment the hacksaw touched Ria's neck, the rust on Ria's body disappeared, and the crisp sound of flesh being chopped and bones being cut echoed from inside the workshop.

"boom."

The young man's head fell to the ground.

The factory owner took back the hacksaw, his expression becoming increasingly smug.

But soon he noticed that the person in front of him had not shed a single drop of blood, and that the person's body was not tilted like a normal dead person, but was still standing upright.

The head on the ground spun around with a "gurgling" sound, its cross-section covered with eyeballs that kept turning around.

They looked at Birdwin's face, and Birdwin felt a sharp pain on his face. He reached up and touched his face, and his hand was covered in bright colors.

From an outsider's perspective, his features were melting like a wax figure, and the outlines were peeling off his face like paint.

Ria squatted down, picked up his head, and suddenly his head turned into a clump of tentacles that melted into his flesh, forcibly burrowing into his skin, and finally growing out from the severed neck.

Do you think being extraordinary is something to brag about?

Ria looked at Birdwin, whose body disintegrated into a mass of tentacles, which resembled horsehair worms with sharp teeth like those of a deep-sea eel, gnawing at Birdwin's body.

He was entangled by these things, pulling hard at the tentacles that were about to burrow into his internal organs, but soon discovered that strong acid was seeping from the surface of the tentacles, corroding his own palm until only bones remained.

"Help! Help! Help!!!"

He shouted and reached out to the workers around him, but they just crossed their arms and looked at him with their featureless faces looking gloomy and eerie. Suddenly, those faces twisted violently into the outline of a crooked mouth.

They were laughing at him, laughing at his overestimation of his abilities.

"You're finished, Birdwin. You're about to die."

"Nonsense! I won't die! I'm protected by a supernatural being, the guardian of commerce! I won't die! You're the ones who should die!"

"Guardian of commerce?"

The laughter grew louder and louder. Birdwin didn't know what they were laughing at; he only felt excruciating pain coursing through his entire body.

Those tentacles gnawed at his internal organs, leaving him without the strength to even scream, and he could only endure the torment of being unable to live or die.

In fact, the instant he walked up to Ria, Ria tried to use Faceless's ability.

He didn't know what Faceless's ability was, he only knew that after he glared at this person, he suddenly covered his face, fell to the ground and wailed, his eyes rolled back and he foamed at the mouth, clearly on the verge of a mental breakdown.

As a result of the backlash, Ria felt as if her facial features almost disappeared again.

He took a step back, trying to keep his distance from the people on the ground, and deeply realized that the Faceless One's abilities were not something he could use casually for the time being. After all, no one knew why the Faceless One had agreed to hand over his name to Ria.

"This thing should only be used as a trump card occasionally. If I were to use it every day, I would definitely go crazy before everyone else."
