They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 331 Mirror, Mirror

"Then he would hurl a string of profanities and insult our whole family."

"He already said he doesn't want to see us anymore. If we go back to him, won't we just make him angry for nothing?"

The two continued to drag their heavy steps forward, their pace slowing down until Fitzton tripped over an obstacle in the road, causing Todwell to fall halfway down as well.

Fortunately, he managed to brace himself with his arms in time. When he turned around, he saw that what had tripped them up was a human head without any facial features.

Hephaestus turned his head and looked at the two of them with great interest.

"I never get tired of seeing the investigators in such pain."

"You are... Hephaestus!"

Todwell rushed toward it as if he had seen a savior.

"We need your help. We beg you to deal with that Abyss Avatar that has not yet developed consciousness, or we will all die!"

"Is this how you ask for help?" The head attached to Hephaestus gradually floated in mid-air.

"Everything comes at a price. You are the ones who are in a hurry now, so we have enough time to discuss this."

"What do you want?"

"What if I said I wanted one of you to die?"

"..."

"it is good."

After weighing his options carefully, Todwell nodded firmly.

Hephaestus was instantly astonished: "You really agreed? Then which of you two will die?"

"I."

Todwell pointed to himself, then looked at Fitzton: "I'm going now. Take care."

"team leader!"

Fitzton didn't want the captain to die, but he also didn't want to die himself. This is a matter of human nature; there's nothing to condemn about not wanting to die.

Hephaestus found them incredibly boring and troublesome: "Which of you is going to die?"

"How about I go?"

"That's great... wait a minute."

This sound doesn't seem right.

Hephis Gtu looked up and suddenly saw a wild beast crouching on the top of the building above. When the beast saw him looking over, it narrowed its light gray-blue eyes and had a mocking expression.

"Just kidding, the deal isn't going through."

After saying that, its body turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. The next second, the tall gray wolf appeared in front of everyone and casually adjusted its slightly slipped glasses.

"..."

When the investigators saw that a werewolf had appeared, they all backed away, while the werewolf smiled and glanced at them.

“I heard you’re going to make a deal, but a deal I deny is impossible to reach.”

Now, new transaction details have emerged.

The Abyss Avatar is growing stronger, and if we don't stop it, everyone will die. I need all of you to help me, including Hephaestus.

As for your payment, we can discuss that after the matter is over, how about it?

Hephaestus was taken aback, and roughly understood what the werewolf in front of him, namely Ria, wanted to do.

"Hahaha, as expected of you, your new image is quite impressive, but do you really dare to use my power without paying any price?"

"do you have any opinion?"

“No, of course not! How could I ask you for a price? Serving you is always my honor, my supreme…” Faceless Lord of Trade. Before Hephaestus could finish speaking, Ria disappeared again, and no one even had time to react to what had happened.

"That wolf is..."

"They are the disordered ones who are playing out the werewolf meme."

“Lia Kercha?” He was the only disordered person here, but the investigators still didn’t understand why Lia had suddenly become like this.

"The werewolf meme can change its appearance, but he has clearly not succeeded in playing the role yet."

"That statement doesn't apply to him."

My Lord is omnipotent.

Hephis Gott ignored the boring investigators and, without even assimilating them, drifted directly in the direction the Faceless One had left.

Ria traveled to where Gignatius was, having already heard most of what was happening there, all thanks to Hephaestus.

He told Ria about it, explaining that his conversation with the investigators was just his own mischievous hobby of playing pranks.

As the saying goes, an performance needs an audience.

The drama began the moment Ria stepped into this place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome! Now let's welcome the theatrical performance that's so popular that tickets are hard to come by!"

While Emigana was still confronting Ignatius, Ria, leaning on his cane, brushed past it, and in that instant, Emigana's pupils contracted sharply.

“Kelcha…”

It sensed the familiar aura emanating from the beast.

Ignoring all warnings, Ria walked up to the baby, his eyes tightly closed, and many dark tentacles emerged from the shadows, which would become his eyes.

"Child, you are so pitiful, you lost your parents before you were even born, but don't worry, I can give you a pair of parents..."

As it spoke, the tentacles twisted and transformed into two pure black figures, which, judging from their outlines, were a man and a woman.

When the "woman" saw the baby on the ground, she immediately went forward excitedly to pick him up. When Gignatius was picked up, the "man" came forward to play with him, but in an instant he grabbed the baby by the neck.

"These are all expressions of care."

Lia explained.

But the child clearly didn't understand what care was. It shouted loudly, emanating invisible waves from its body, which directly shattered the two figures.

Gignatius landed directly on the ground, and the shattered image formed two tall mirrors around him.

The baby turned its eyes and saw its reflection making the same movement.

When facing a mirror, its mental pollution effect is lost, but this child clearly hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation and is trying to pollute his reflection in the mirror.

Ria's words followed, his voice mixed with a harsh tone, and his sharp fangs were visible when he spoke.

"It seems you don't like human parents; perhaps you prefer fish?"

As it spoke, the tentacles twisted into the shape of a Deep One and headed toward it, but just as the two twisted creatures were about to get close, they were obliterated by Gignatius.

Ria clapped for it: "Very good, it seems you have learned not to easily trust strangers."

After the tentacles were shattered, two more mirrors appeared on the ground, surrounding the baby.

Next, there will be more and more mirrors, until they completely form a circle that envelops the embodiment of the abyss.

Through the mirror, it will see countless versions of itself, moving with its own movements and getting angry with its own anger.

Most importantly, others can see inside through this mirror, but the life inside cannot see outwards.

Soon, everyone arrived at the scene and immediately heard the piercing cries.
