They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 300 Tsunami
"I think I can understand the fun those people usually have now. It's really interesting to tease them."

Lia stood on high ground gazing at the magnificent view in the distance; everything seemed so fragile under the onslaught of the giant waves.

Gradually, the waves subsided, and he even discovered the remains of houses that had been washed away. At that moment, it was hard to imagine whether there were any survivors inside.

"Goo."

Little Swarth assured Ria that there was no need to worry, as it had already found and swallowed the people swept into the sea while it was rolling in the giant waves.

Although these people would not feel good after being devoured by mythical creatures, it was still better than being smashed to pieces by the waves.

The mythical creature flew off Ria's shoulder, its body gradually expanding as it spewed out a swarm of creatures, including all sorts of things—

Seaweed, shellfish, fish...

Pufferfish, crabs, starfish, sea anemones, corals...

Land animals that have fallen into the water, supernatural beings, and people who are unconscious and choking on water.

Normally, a bunch of good things would always be left on the beach after the tide went out, and the people who went to dig them up became beachcombers. But now, Little Swarth swallowed these things into his body in advance, completely avoiding those troubles.

The mythical creature's body was like a bottomless pit, seemingly able to hold anything, which made Ria suspect that its body was connected to another space.

"Ouch!"

After spitting everything out, little Swarth happily flapped his wings, proudly preparing to receive praise from Ria.

At this moment, the mythical creature straightened its chest and raised its head, its head tilting back as far as it could, almost reaching the back of its neck—although Ria couldn’t see that it had a neck.

"Well done."

Ria praised it as it wished, and then carefully examined the things on the ground many times, but found no trace of Hephaestus.

It seems that little Swarth did listen to his mother and did not eat the so-called "junk food".

"But you don't need to haul up so much marine life... People who don't know better might think we're running a seafood market."

He looked at a mermaid, an extraordinary creature nearby. The mermaid, in the pitiful form of a red-haired girl, was half-supporting herself on the ground, trying her best to open her eyes as wide as possible to look at Ria.

At that moment, it was still chewing on a starfish that it had just caught from nearby.

Ria: "..."

He ignored the mermaid who had come ashore and looked at the people who were unconscious after drowning.

Most of these people are fishermen, and most of them are elderly. As people get older, they become stubborn and are unwilling to abandon their houses because of a mere big wave.

They probably didn't expect the waves to be so powerful, completely destroying the house.

"The Gote Sea shouldn't usually have such big waves. What's been going on lately?"

Ria pondered this carefully—in these days, people have been hunting down “witches” and throwing them into the Sea of ​​Gorty, believing that this will appease the wrath of the rising sun and protect the Sea of ​​Gorty from the raging storm for many years.

Moreover, the witches chose this place to hold their tea party. Hephaestus's consciousness infiltrated the party in an attempt to eliminate all the witches. After failing, he invited Ria to the Gotti Coast to tell him some of the stories about the Gekkoso Mountains.

These things seem unrelated, but they reveal a strange, torn relationship, and these torn things are somehow connected by threads, achieving a rare unity.

"It seems something big is about to happen."

Ria looked up at the sky. If the abyss hadn't told him that this place would be an excellent performance venue, he wouldn't have lingered here for so long.

"Why hasn't that clone shown up yet? Did it drown?" If it really did drown, that would be great.

Lia looked at the people lying sprawled on the ground with a hint of regret. A moment later, someone suddenly sat up and coughed. This person coughed up a lot of water and almost went into shock and died from excessive coughing.

Lia stayed beside the old man, patting his back. After a long while, the old man finally came to his senses, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of death.

The giant wave crashed down on them like a nightmare, and the old man turned pale just thinking about it.

"Are you alright? How are you feeling now?"

Lia asked him, and the old man suddenly grabbed his sleeve: "The Rising Sun is truly angry. He has unleashed divine punishment, all because heretics have appeared among us!"

"What heretics?"

"Those who are disloyal to the faith in the Rising Sun, or who directly worship other evil gods or those madmen who are atheists, must be judged..."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The old man coughed again, and his dentures came out.

"I understand, please calm down."

“I can’t calm down—by the way, you’re not one of the people I just mentioned, you’re not with them, right?”

"Of course, I swear I will always uphold the glorious sun of our Lord and resolutely resist those heretics and atheists!"

"..."

The old man gradually calmed down and put his dentures back in his mouth.

"You are a good boy."

Lia stared at the old man's face, thought for a long time, and decided not to tell him that there was a piece of vegetable stuck between his teeth.

An hour later, the others gradually woke up. They looked around at each other and then huddled together, shivering.

When Lia asked them if they remembered what had happened not long ago, they trembled even more violently. They recalled the towering waves and the tentacles that resembled giant sea monsters, and some of them fainted on the spot.

"Perhaps... I should publish a paper in a journal called 'On whether contemporary people's psychology is too fragile and what the solutions are.'"

After a moment of reflection, Ria stepped forward and told them that he was also a victim of the disaster, and that he had no idea why he had come here.

Everyone was completely bewildered by their situation, but soon they began to believe that their god had saved them, and they began to sing praises to that god.

Ria stepped forward: "We should praise the Lord of Trade, for He is so kind, selfless and generous, His radiance shines on the earth, and His redemption benefits all living beings."

He loves all people equally, regardless of whether they are normal, have been corrupted by supernatural forces, or believe in Him; He treats all beings equally as always.

After a moment of silence, someone suddenly agreed with Ria's point of view: "That's right, praise trade!"

"Praise be to trade!"

At that moment, no one knew what was wrong with them. They wanted to blurt out the name of the sun, but they couldn't, and it was forgotten.

Now, everyone wholeheartedly praises trade and sings the praises of the great achievements of the Lord of Trade.
