They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 303 Imprisonment
“Destroy it within thirty seconds, or it will start to grow until it turns the surrounding hundreds of miles into a mirror.”

"Okay—wait, where's the bomb?"

Everyone looked at the spot where the bomb had been placed and found that the explosive charge that should have been there was now empty.

Salle suddenly remembered the unidentified humanoid creature that had climbed onto the ship not long ago: "Could it be a feint by the monster?!"

"Let's not talk about that now, what are we going to do without the bomb!"

"Just wait to die. Everyone has to go through this day eventually, it's just that this day came exceptionally fast for the investigator."

Saller shrugged, clearly having come to terms with it. He had always hated his job, the only difference now was that he hated it even more.

Unlike him, the other two investigators were clearly unwilling to give up so easily; they tried to smash the mysterious object on the sea surface with other heavy objects.

This thing is called the "Mirror of Yandaros". By collecting its fragments, piecing them together, and then blasting it apart with chemical gunpowder, you can shatter the spacetime of this area and glimpse different scenes.

However, if it is not shattered again with explosives within thirty seconds of being pieced together, the mirror will spread indefinitely, and eventually, extraordinary beings from across time may emerge from it.

"We're doomed, we're going to die here."

The investigators were already disheartened when someone stepped out from behind them, holding a bomb in his hand.

This person was wearing a black cloak, had long curly hair, dark skin, and was at least 1.9 meters tall.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

Hephaestus shook the object in his hand.

Meanwhile, standing on the island, Ria saw the candles and offerings laid out on the ground.

Around these things were ritual patterns drawn like cellular peptide chains, and Ria immediately recognized it as a summoning ritual from the abyss.

"Who would want to sacrifice themselves to the abyss... no, what normal person would seek refuge with an ancient god who is already 'dead'?"

"This mysterious item alone is not enough to find salvation in the ruins of the abyss."

As Hephaestus spoke, the nearby seawater seemed to freeze time, and the countdown on the mirror briefly stopped.

"You are--"

The investigators immediately looked at him as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and they all drew their weapons.

Seeing this, Hephis Gtu smiled slightly: "Using this thing alone has a very high mortality rate. The Order Association really doesn't care about your lives. Even if you enter His remains, the highly toxic pollution will kill you immediately."

"What should I do?"

"What should we do? That's a good question."

The man's eyes crinkled into a smile: "Of all of us, the only one acknowledged by the Lord of the Abyss is the Faceless One. Believe me, the Faceless God will lead you to a new world."

As he spoke, time resumed its flow, and at that moment, Hephaestus threw the explosives directly onto the mirror on the sea surface.

"boom!"

He made a nasty mouth gesture, and the instant the mirror shattered, Ria, who was on the island, suddenly saw the candles light up with a "whoosh," and all the patterns on the altar automatically emitted a wave-like glow.

Dark clouds gradually filled the sky, and with a "plop," a drop of water fell on the young man's head.

He looked up and saw once again a vast, black ocean.

Below was the sea, and above was also the sea. At the same time, Ria noticed that scales were gradually growing on the places where the drops had been applied. However, the virus in his body did not welcome the external contamination, and the scales soon disappeared automatically.

"Looks like we won't be bored from now on."

"Whoosh—" Schwarz transformed into a giant dragon and spread one of its wings to shield Ria from the rain. It turned its head and saw a whirlpool suddenly appear on the sea surface. Then, a hurricane swept up the seawater and connected the upper and lower sea areas.

The waves grew larger and larger, to the point that they could no longer be ignored, and an unparalleled suction force emanated from the core of the hurricane.

Schwarz gripped the ground tightly with its claws, its wings protecting its host from being swept away, but the next second, Ria inexplicably disappeared from its side.

The light from the sacrificial array on the ground gradually dimmed.

"Woo?"

"Roar! Ro ...

Schwarz's pupils constricted sharply, and he let out a mournful cry, but he couldn't find Ria anywhere.

It suddenly turned its head to look at the huge vortex, flapped its wings and took off, resolutely entering the center of the storm.

A few minutes later, the waves calmed down, and the black ocean in the sky disappeared. However, by then, the sea had been swept away by a torrential downpour.

The rain was not polluting, but the occasional rumble of thunder and the sudden flashes of lightning amidst the rolling dark clouds were still alarming.

……

"Swarth!"

Ria sat up abruptly, only to find that the mythical creature was no longer there.

He immediately calmed down and found himself on a bed, surrounded by all kinds of living furniture and facilities. The room was spacious and well-lit.

An old-fashioned lamp and walkie-talkie were placed on the bedside table, a clothes rack was placed next to the bed, and there was steaming food on a table not far away.

After observing them briefly, Lia realized that these things were not contaminated by the supernatural, nor were they human flesh; they were a balanced mix of meat and vegetables and were edible.

But he has absolutely no appetite right now.

It seemed that someone had specially placed silver cutlery and neat napkins on the table to accommodate his lifestyle, and there was even a bottle of red wine that looked expensive and several crystal wine glasses.

The entire room evokes the word "luxury" just by looking at it; it's like a high-end hotel, with every corner exuding opulence.

Crystal chandeliers, gemstone paintings, silk curtains—these are things that Lia would never normally even glance at, because buying them would be a waste of money, and money is life to Lia.

Life in its true sense.

He wasn't particularly happy to be in this place; more than the flashy, unfamiliar things, he wanted to know where Swarth had gone.

“Something seems off about those buildings outside.”

Lia stood at the window and looked into the distance, discovering that the roads below were all water, and the buildings stood on the water.

In that sense, it could be considered a true water city.

"I vaguely remember seeing a city in the Black Sea when I peered into the abyss. Could this be the place?"

After coming into contact with the Abyss Sacrifice Array, Ria ended up in this room. These coincidences made it hard for him not to have some thoughts.

The room was fully equipped and seemed to have some signs of having been lived in, but there was no one else in the place except for Ria.

He decided to go outside and take a look, but after walking quite a distance to reach the gate, he was somewhat surprised to find that the gate was not locked at all.

Moreover—it cannot be destroyed.
