They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 253 Guardian
The beggar suddenly raised his head, and Prare also widened his eyes, his pupils filled with terror.

In her pupils, the person before her had no facial features at all. Judging solely from appearance, this person was not frightening at all to Prare, who had followed the White Rose Witch for a long time.

But Prare still trembled all over. It was as if she had seen the most terrifying creature in the world. She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound. Her neck felt like it was being squeezed by a pair of huge hands, and her eyes were bloodshot.

"Oh... uh..."

run! Run!

This was her first reaction. Her immense will to survive made the poor girl break free from the invisible restraints and turn to run away. She was even prepared to shout for Leilana to run away quickly.

However, in the instant she turned around, her facial features visibly disappeared. After running a few steps forward in a panic, she suddenly turned back as if nothing had happened, bypassed the beggar, used the key to open the door, and went straight to the underground laboratory.

At this moment, her facial features reappeared, and she appeared perfectly normal.

……

The rain is getting heavier.

In the increasingly dim environment, Ria successfully escaped the so-called dream by dying and woke up.

He was now somewhat dazed; the normal mental state stored in the Time Table had completely disappeared, and now Ria had to face the onslaught of the words spoken by the King of Death Dreams in an extremely unstable state.

Fortunately, Ria was very patient, so he didn't yell or go crazy. Instead, he took out the mysterious item, the Batantusa coin.

"Batantuza, tell me whether what I heard in my dream was true or false."

As he spoke, he tossed a coin, but unexpectedly, the coin did not land.

Suddenly, Ria realized that there was no rain above him. He looked up, focused his gaze, and saw Ivan standing in front of him holding an umbrella, which kept all the rain out.

Ivand held the Battantusa coin in his palm: "It's fake. That guy is lying to you. Everything you experienced in your dream, except for the contents of the Book of Revelation, is unreliable."

"really?"

Lia looked up at him.

“I know you don’t want to trust anyone right now, but I can tell you that you can go back. Your family and friends are all doing well.”

"Thank you, Mr. Ivand, that makes me feel better."

Ria stood up from the ground and found that Little Swarth had already burrowed back into its body. It was obviously exhausted from the incident, but Ria also sensed that it had absorbed a lot of Red Moon pollution and its power had become stronger.

Ivand returned the coin to Ria, who took it and put it in his pocket.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"It only takes half a day."

"I still see people with black wings in my dreams..."

Ria looked at Ivand, who pointed to himself: "That was what my original form used to look like, but unfortunately, it's completely unrecognizable now."

By the way, didn't you promise to give answers to many people at the door? The idea was good, but many of those people are no longer alive.

I am not a god, I am just a human being. I think that getting them to their doorstep is the most I can do. The rest is up to humanity itself.

Ivand was somewhat moved as his body gradually became translucent in Ria's vision.

"The path to knowledge is still too complicated, and not everyone can open the door to truth... But you succeeded, and even found the original text of Revelation."

"You're really amazing, no wonder you're my student."

He was very pleased, while Ria noticed that his body was fading more and more: "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just that this consciousness used too much power and died soon." "In fact, it's already dead, it's just a projection here to chat with you."

Ivan patted Ria on the shoulder and shoved the umbrella into his hand.

"Your mental state isn't very good. From now on, stay away from creatures that look like con artists, especially Hephaestus's clones. If you see them, just run. If you can't run, fight them. Never believe anything they say."

When you are powerful enough, you can even distort facts and create truth, regardless of what is true. So don't dwell on the past. What you need to do is become meme zero as soon as possible, and then everything will become clear.

"Oh, by the way, I also fixed your eyes. It's nothing to me. Is your vision clearer now?"

He spoke these words to Ria as if he were making his final arrangements. Clearly, the years of imprisonment had been too lonely for Ivand, and he had become a complete chatterbox.

Lia watched silently as he disappeared little by little.

From the moment he opened his eyes, he found that his vision had returned to normal, but the process was by no means as easy as Ivand described.

"I will come to save you when I reach Meme Four."

"Don't force yourself. I'm just feeling bored. It's okay if you don't come out. I said that before in the hope of encouraging you to keep up with the performance. But performing too fast can be dangerous. It's most important to manage your time properly."

"Speaking of time... it's about time. Take out the meme card one last time and I think you should understand the true meaning of guarding."

"You protect others, and others will protect you; it's always a two-way street."

As he spoke, Ivand's body completely dissipated into countless star-like particles.

Lia stood in the downpour, holding an umbrella and watching the stars fly by. In her other hand, she held a playing card, the back of which still only had the symbols of Magician and Hunter in the upper left corner.

He remained motionless in one position.

“You’re wrong, mentor. I don’t understand what a guard is at all, and I’m not worthy to understand.”

That being said, a shield symbol gradually appeared below the two meme symbols, indicating that Ria had officially entered the ranks of meme six.

But the person involved was not happy at all.

……

"drop!"

"drop!"

Amidst the flashing mechanical lights inside the Order Association, the man in blue robes stood outside the airtight prison, gazing at the other side of the barrier.

The person on the metal frame in the middle remained motionless, as if he had been dead for a long time. His body was severely dehydrated, his hair was dry and white like straw, and all the nerves in his body that could control his movements had been severed by the mysterious object. He couldn't even blink, let alone escape.

"He's back. We don't need to keep tracking that consciousness anymore."

"I can't believe he would come back on his own initiative. Maybe we can still hope that he has retained some humanity."

The man glanced at the screen beside him, and the red line at the top began to fluctuate again.

"Shall we continue monitoring the disorderly individual named Ria Kercha, Your Honor?"

"Continue to monitor the situation. Report any new developments to me, and I will bring them to the meeting for discussion."

"Yes……"

"Wait! Prosecutor, this disorderly individual just destroyed all the mysterious equipment we use for surveillance!"
