They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 218 Relatives
He didn't even glance at the pile of ghostly things on the ground, and turned to run away. Who knew what the tentacles growing from his body were, or how such a monster could grow from a person's body!

How long has this thing been inside his body? How did it appear?
Why does it follow me?

"Stay away from me, don't follow me!"

"Woo~ woo ...

The problems of the three patients with contamination were not yet resolved, and now even bigger new problems have emerged.

Ria fled quickly, but the pile of things followed him just as fast. Soon, it cornered Ria in a dead end, and by then, Ria had become separated from the others.

At this point, the pile of dark things stopped coming closer.

It was staring at him with many golden eyes in one spot, its whiskers twitching involuntarily. For a moment, this sight reminded Lia of a pitiful dog.

Soon, a corrosive liquid began to seep out around the tentacles, eroding the ground with a hissing sound.

Well, now Ria has to admit it might be crying.

And she cried very pitifully.

The monster, so dark that only its outline and golden eyes were visible, didn't scream or shout. Instead, it quietly curled up and stared at Ria, while the "tears" on the ground seeped out more and more.

Occasionally, its tentacles would twitch, sucking back the "tears" on the ground, and then more would seep out.

Compared to it, the extraordinary creatures we encountered before suddenly seemed adorable.

Ria tried to move his body to get around it, but the creature on the ground kept its eyes on his face.

Lia was puzzled: "You've driven me all this way, why are you crying?"

"Ugh..." The creature on the ground was still oozing strong acid. If it were a normal creature, it would probably be a pile of skeletons by now.

"..."

After observing for a long time, Lia finally realized that the thing was not aggressive, but for some reason, she was very depressed.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally overcame his psychological barrier: "Come here."

The cry was just a test, and Ria didn't expect it to actually understand, but the creature suddenly stopped crying and immediately crawled towards them with its tentacles. Ria quickly stopped it, saying, "Stop!"

The tentacles stopped moving, but its eyes shone brightly. The monster's pupils widened, its eyes fixed on Ria before it.

"Hmm... since it can understand me, it should be able to come in some useful way."

Lia tried hard to suppress the inexplicable feeling of disgust that arose within him. He didn't quite understand why he was suddenly afraid of something that wasn't harmful at all; in fact, it was quite pleasing to the eye after a while.

Those eyes reminded Ria of glittering gold coins, and instinctively, she blurted out, "Swal..."

"Goo!"

The creature suddenly responded excitedly, extending a tentacle and slowly approaching Ria. Its movements were extremely cautious, even carrying a deeper fear than Ria's.

It was terrified that the person in front of it would abandon it; that wouldn't do, because then it would be homeless and would have no family left.

How could a mythical creature that had only been born for a short time understand Ria's plans? All it knew was that its parents would run away as soon as they saw it, as if they had seen some terrifying monster.

Moreover, it discovered that Ria seemed to not remember it.

too frightening.

This is truly terrifying. This is absolutely a nightmare; it doesn't know what to do if Ria really doesn't want it.

Perhaps, it will lose control and do some dangerous things that even it cannot imagine—

Like most parasites, it utterly destroys the host and becomes the host itself.

But Little Swarth quickly rejected the idea. It wouldn't do that. If the host didn't want it, it would stay with the host until the host remembered it.

Home is where your parents are.

The mythical creature kept its tentacles hovering not far in front of Ria, who asked with some confusion, "You want to shake hands with me?"

"Goo." Little Swarth blinked, and to put Ria at ease, it rubbed its tentacles on the ground, indicating that its gesture of goodwill was not dangerous in any way.

After making this move, it waited quietly for Ria's response. A minute passed, and just when it thought that Ria really didn't want it anymore, Ria finally slowly reached out her hand towards its tentacles.

"Goo!"

Its eyes brightened a little more, and just as the two collided, a throwing knife suddenly shot out from the shadows at an extremely tricky angle, about to pierce Ria. At the critical moment, the tentacle stood straight up and blocked it.

"Pfft-"

The tentacles were severed right in front of Ria, spraying out a bunch of corrosive liquid that spilled all over the ground.

"I've found the lone person!"

The original rabbit returned unharmed and excitedly stood on the roof, looking down below.

Logically speaking, given the injuries he sustained, it would be absolutely impossible for him to stand up again now.

However, they hadn't been seriously injured when they fell from tall buildings before, so injuries must have been commonplace for them.

The companions had mentioned patients with contamination syndrome, and Liya felt that it was this disease that had created their current physical condition. If it weren't for contamination syndrome, they wouldn't have been able to survive to this day with such deformed modified bodies.

"Huh? My swordsmanship actually went wrong."

The rabbit tilted its long ears, seemingly puzzled as to how its tentacles had blocked its attack, and also wondering what the monster made of those tentacles was.

Not long ago, it suddenly rushed out and injured itself. It seems that to deal with this middle-aged and elderly person below, we have to deal with it first.

"Don't move this time, the rabbit's knife is fast... Ah!!!"

He had just picked up the new throwing knife when, in the next second, he found that the knife in his hand had turned into his own intestines, while the original knife had been thrust into his eye socket, piercing his skull.

Now, his eyeballs are inside his stomach, which, in addition to the two eyeballs, is also stuffed with bulging Swarth coins.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!!! It hurts so much!!!"

The rabbit covered its face and screamed wildly, its two long ears bobbing up and down.

Below, Ria stretched out his hand to him with a gloomy expression. In that instant, he didn't know what had happened, but he felt that the black creature's expectations had been disappointed, and it must be feeling bad now.

"Since you're blind, there's no need for you to be blind in the future."

Ria was a little emotionally unstable. He didn't really know how he had done those things. After watching the rabbit fall down with a groan, Ria quickly looked at the ground and finally found the broken tentacle.

He quickly picked up the tentacles, walked towards the black creature, found the broken part, and tried to piece them back together.
