They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 330 Premature Baby

Soon after, the dust from the explosion gradually dissipated, and the jellyfish monster was blasted to pieces, stuck to the ground in various places, and was beyond dead.

All was silent except for the sound of the Black Sea waves rolling in the sky.

“Salle…”

Emigana collapsed to the ground in sorrow, while Fitzton stayed beside Todway, watching him write something on the ground with his blood, which had been smeared by the blast wave.

"what are you writing?"

“I’m recording a number… recording the number of my fallen comrades. This is the seventeenth since I took office.”

"Seventeen—"

"Do you understand? Seventeen!!!"

Todwell suddenly looked up, his eyes red: "I can't take it anymore. When will these casualties end? When will those supernatural beings disappear..."

As he shouted, he suddenly noticed a human sadness in Emigana's eyes.

"Sorry, I was just saying it in anger."

You are also a transcendent being, I shouldn't generalize and condemn them all... Emigana, you are different from them.

Erigana shook his head: "It's alright. Now we should check the center of the explosion to see if the creature is completely dead."

“That’s right. Even if it’s just a fragment, I’ll collect it and bury it in Salle’s hometown.”

The group suppressed their frustration, and they had no time to be frustrated. Instead, they prepared to go to the center of the explosion to investigate.

"The mysterious item has lost its life force."

Todwell observed the mysterious button-shaped object for a moment, changed into a new pair of glasses, and then led the way to it.

Soon, Todwell stood before a semi-transparent, now filthy, fragment of a supernatural being and picked it up.

The thing seemed lifeless, but after Todwell shook it, it suddenly and strangely bounced.

"Snapped!"

Emigana instantly grabbed the thing and threw it aside.

"It is indeed dead; it was just a nerve reflex."

"That's good, but we still can't let our guard down."

At the very center is the largest fragment, which seems to contain something.

Just as Todwell was about to explore that side, the fragment suddenly trembled, and a hand unexpectedly reached out from the bottom.

But the people there were no happy feelings at all; in fact, their mood was even worse.

The hand beneath the shards is clearly that of an infant's arm, struggling to push away the shards above it.

There are two pieces of news right now.

The first thing is hard to say whether it's good news or not: they didn't find Saler's body. It might have been blown to bits. The only reason those supernatural creatures' bodies survived was because they were too powerful.

The second piece of news was utterly devastating—

The sound of a baby came from beneath the shattered fragments of the extraordinary creature.

A human-shaped newborn pried open the jellyfish fragments, half-opened its eyes, and let out its first cry.

Its body was covered in mucus and vernix caseosa, and dozens of transparent tubes gradually melted and detached from its body. This was the child named Gognathius by Neo and the others, the vessel of the Lord of the Gale and the Abyss, His incarnation—born through procreation.

But now something unexpected has happened.

Originally, the Abyss could have descended with complete consciousness, requiring only the mother body to fully nurture it. However, because the mother body was shattered, the life within was born prematurely—a true "premature baby."

It wasn't pretty; its skin was wrinkled and even had white spots on its red skin—newborn babies are all like that, they grow and open up, but no one intended to let it grow up.

If someone asked the crowd, "Would you kill an innocent life because of something that might happen? Especially if it's a child who doesn't understand anything?"

The answer from everyone would certainly be: "Yes."

This child is not innocent; no one would be so idle as to suddenly have a kind heart and rescue it, raising it to adulthood.

"..."

"Bang bang bang!"

Todwell raised his gun and pulled the trigger, firing a few more shots to make sure the boy wasn't dead.

As the captain, his marksmanship was always excellent, and all of these bullets hit Ignatius.

After running out of bullets, Todwell put down his gun, but he soon discovered that the child was completely unharmed!
Not only was it unharmed, it also deflected the bullets through its skin and began to eat them.

It's strange that it can chew bullets with its gums even though it's not yet at the age where it should be teething.

"Wow!"

The premature Gignatius had no thoughts and moved by instinct. After it ate the bullet, it lay on all fours like a lizard and stared at Todwell.

Todwell saw a pair of demonic pupils, as if a heavy hammer had struck his brain. He suddenly clutched his head and screamed madly, then raised his hand to attack his companion.

Emigana immediately stopped it: "Don't look into its eyes! Don't think about anything, take a deep breath, and stay calm!"

"roll!"

Todwell opened his mouth wide, almost tearing his lips apart, and when he saw Erigana trying to stop him, he tried to bite through its neck.

Fitzton wasn't much better off; the two of them started attacking indiscriminately like zombies, all because they exchanged a few glances with the baby not far away.

"Wake up!"

Emigana roared at them, and the intense sound waves entered their ears without any obstruction. Black blood slowly flowed from their ears, and at that moment, they miraculously regained consciousness.

“You were poisoned by the abyss, but thankfully you were expelled in time. We can’t stay here any longer. Before they can react, you should retreat.”

"how about you?"

“I’ll hold it off, you go find Ria, or Hephaestus.”

His clone fell here. If it were him, he would definitely have a better solution than any of us here. Rather than letting the Abyss gradually recover, I still think Hephaestus is more reliable.

It's risky, but it's the only way.

"Okay... ahem."

Todwell and Fitzton supported each other, and black poisonous blood seeped from not only their ears, but also their eyes, noses, and mouths.

My limbs are getting heavier and heavier. How can a human body withstand the corruption of the old gods? Even if that corruption is insignificant compared to the gods themselves.

Fitzton: "Ouch, ouch, ouch... Captain, I feel so suffocated, I can't breathe."

"Don't relax. We performed very well in our first encounter with such a powerful creature. Do you remember our initial mission?"

"The current task is completely beyond our capabilities."

Todwell sighed, "You never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. We were still feeling down about Saller, but I guess we'll be able to go have a drink with him soon."

Fitzton: "I bet he'll be angry. Knowing his personality, the first thing he'll say to us will definitely be a swear word."
