They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 319 Becoming a Part of Us
In the distant sea, the mythical creature rolling around in the gold seemed to hear a familiar call and instantly raised its head to look in the direction from which the sound was coming.

Its two ear feathers stood up like antennas, and its pupils were wide open.

Almost without thinking, the mythical creature swam out of the wooden crate and into an open area. It glanced at Dagon behind it, and its body suddenly swelled up, its head and neck became longer and thinner, and black and sharp horns grew on both sides.

"Shh!"

The black dragon spread its enormous black wings. Unlike the legendary dragon, its wings were more like those of a bird, except that the feather-like things were all hard and extremely sharp scales.

"Hooooooooo!!!"

Swarth was not slow at all in the water; it flapped its wings and then folded them, swimming at top speed toward the source of the call.

Behind it, Dagon slowly stretched out its body, stared at the direction it was swimming for a moment, and then swung its tail and followed.

……

The surrounding seawater is gradually deteriorating, and gray silt is constantly enveloping this area.

Inside the ever-approaching silt behind them, countless spirits were struggling and screaming.

Most of them were human heads, but there were many more non-human heads that were still alive. However, it was precisely because they were alive that they were filled with resentment and pain, their lips uttering silent yet profound sorrow and grief that reached their very brains.

Turbid tears slid from the eye sockets of numerous heads, falling into the gray mud.

Stay, don't leave.

Save us! Why are you allowed to live?

Stay and become one of us.

There are also very different opinions among them.

My lord, you've really surprised me. Why don't we catch up?

"Don't answer anything it says!"

Todwell suddenly spoke up: "And whatever you do, don't turn around if you hear any familiar words at this time!"

"Those are all disguises, tricks unique to hunters."

"I know."

Ria continued moving, but inwardly she was thinking how Hydra dared to swallow Hephaestus and still retain his consciousness. Was this the confidence to be close to a god?
But Hydra hasn't caught up yet, which suggests that its physical condition is also not optimistic.

With caution in mind, Ria continued to march desperately forward for several miles. Just when everyone thought they were out of danger, Ria suddenly shot upwards and then stopped for a moment.

In his field of vision, the seawater in front of him had formed a solidified barrier, gradually closing inward.

The enormous tentacles coalesced into spikes and attacked, but it was as if they had struck a layer of gel. The gel wanted to devour everything that touched it, so Ria could only retract the tentacles.

"It looks like we've fallen into a trap."

"How could Lord Hydra have become like this? It's completely different from what it used to be..."

"Humans change, let alone supernatural beings."

Ria was still wandering around looking for a breakthrough: "It may have been friendly to you before because you posed no threat to its plans and it was fine to play with you, but now we are after the Lord of the Gale and the Abyss."

When it seeks to revitalize the Abyss, and all its people, even Dagon, try to stop it, the Hydra's temperament becomes volatile and extreme.

"Then tell me, Emigana, do you wish to revive the Abyss?"

Emigana fell silent. It shouldn't go against the god its people had always believed in, but at the same time, it didn't want anything to happen to Dagon.

One side is a god whose fate is unknown, and the other is a leader revered by the people. For it, the choice between the two sides is obvious.

"I don't want to." "Hey, then you've boarded the pirate ship."

Lia cracked a joke in an attempt to ease the tension, even though he was the one under the most pressure right now.

He knew very well that Hydra was closing in, and the "net" it had woven was completely unsolvable for Ria at this moment. Perhaps in a few moments, Hydra would catch them, and then everyone would become a skeleton in that gray swamp pool.

Gradually, Ria gave up searching for an exit, and the barrier began to close faster.

Just as countless bone claws were reaching out from the darkness, a roar suddenly came from directly in front of Ria, and Swarth, his body glowing with golden light, charged from the far distance.

It opened its mouth and spewed out strong acid, then stretched out its sharp claws and fiercely grabbed at the barrier. The savage force, along with the impact momentum, actually tore a hole in the barrier.

Just then, the mythical creature's forepaws successfully touched its host. It didn't have time to catch up with its host, so it grabbed him and fled quickly. However, the Hydra behind it was still in hot pursuit, and those bone claws were getting closer and closer.

Schwarz turned around and sprayed out strong acid again. Then sparks appeared in its mouth, indicating that it had ignited and detonated the acid in the seawater.

"boom!!!"

A tremendous impact resounded, and it used the shockwave to rush forward at high speed, but Ria stopped it from fleeing, extending a tentacle and pointing it backward.

"Running away won't help; the ocean is its territory everywhere."

The others didn't seem to realize what had happened; their vision was completely black, and they only caught a glimpse of a huge black shadow when the strong acid exploded.

But this did not prevent, at a certain moment, all living beings trembled.

They saw a grayish-white, fluorescent "wall" in their field of vision, and on this "wall" were countless prey captured by the Hydra.

The prey cried out and waved their claws at them. Schwarz bared his teeth, his scales bristling, and eyes appeared on those scales, making him look quite intimidating.

The mythical creatures, annoyed by their arrogance, also waved their tentacles at them.

Nevertheless, they were captured by the Hydra.

The mythical creature was mired in the mud, with countless hands reaching out to its body, trying to devour it.

See? Running away won't help.

A skull appeared before Ria and spoke to him boastfully.

"It seems so, beautiful lady."

Ria curled up his tentacles, looking helpless, but a few seconds later, he stretched out his tentacles and pointed upwards: "Unfortunately, you were a step too late. Our helpers have arrived."

Helper? What helper do you have?

The skull looked up following the direction of the tentacles and suddenly saw a pair of enormous, eerie green eyes, as if they were beams of light shining down from a lighthouse.

Dagon had somehow managed to suppress his aura and was simply staring at it quietly.

【…】

Dagon!?

Dagon

It's Dagon.

Dagon is here!

In the gray mud, the creatures emitted screams of varying pitches. Some, unable to bear the shock, shouted, "I have Dagon phobia!" and ripped their own heads off with their bare hands, slamming them against the heads of others. Then the two sides began to wrestle with each other.
