They all call me an Outer God.

"A supernatural being that spreads lust..."

Ria suddenly recalled the scene she had encountered in Grani. Compared to that, the situation around her was still somewhat under control.

But soon, Ria noticed that those people were actually taking off their clothes and lunging at the people next to them.

Even he couldn't help but gasp at the sight, feeling it was best to end this inappropriate farce as soon as possible.

Suddenly, countless tentacles emerged from the shadows, restraining everyone and preventing them from making any more irreversible moves. In particular, some people even preyed on a poodle on the roadside, startling the poodle into tucking its tail between its legs and whimpering.

These pollutants have not yet affected any organisms other than humans. Ria saw Hephaestus leaning against the wall, watching the whole farce with great interest, seemingly unaffected.

It seems he might no longer be considered human.

Ria dodged the mother's attacks and continued to swing her scythe to cut off her belly, but the belly would regenerate the moment it was destroyed, and the growth rate was even faster than before.

Don't run away...you're mine—

Why are you running? Why are you disobeying? It must be external pollution that has turned you into this.

Come, return to the womb, be nurtured anew, and everyone will be reborn.

Every organ in her body seemed to be trembling. Seeing that ordinary attacks were ineffective, Ria abandoned her attack, landed on the ground, and stared at the huge flesh and blood tissue in front of her.

The mother body thought he had listened to her words and became even more excited.

This is what a good child is like.

"Excuse me, ma'am, I'd never want to be that kind of thing."

As Ria spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a large patch of uterine tissue, and Hephaestus's eyes lit up at the sight: "I knew following my Lord would bring me joy every day."

He had barely finished speaking when a voice that only the target creature could hear rang out from Ria.

Equivalent exchange

Before Lucy could even realize what was happening, her organs were suddenly and violently displaced. The organs that were originally inside her skin were all moved outside her skin in an instant.

Moreover, the doctor that had just been swallowed was also expelled by the uterus, replaced by the instantaneous carbonization of organs, the rupture of flesh and blood, and the seepage of strong acid from inside.

Ria: "They think I might not be able to beat you, what do you think?"

As he spoke, the young man took off his hat, and a jet-black creature crawled onto his hand, opening its mouth and letting out a shrill cry.

"Aa ...

Tentacles on the ground surged together, tearing through and piercing flesh from all directions.

The strong acid adhering to the surface of the tentacles carbonizes the flesh and prevents it from regenerating; the excessively high temperature even causes crimson flames to ignite on their surface.

Soon, these things fell from the sky with a "crashing" sound, without moving an inch.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap!"

Hephaestus clapped his hands: "You are indeed more powerful than when we last met. I really want to find all the praise in the world to describe you, but unfortunately this body is not very cultured."

So, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me later? I made a cake myself, with 100% animal-based cream.

Lia ignored him, her expression showing no joy of victory, but rather a moment of confusion.

The people nearby were already immobilized by the tentacles, their eyes vacant, showing no sign of returning to normal.

The next second, Ria suddenly leaped backward, and the ground instantly cracked open, from which swarms of dark, dense things rushed out.

They all possess indescribable reproductive organs, and in terms of their level of pollution, these things can evoke extreme disgust and desire in anyone who sees them for the first time.

Moreover, those things are constantly mating with each other, constantly multiplying into more of their kind, and swallowing the flesh and blood tissue that was originally torn and carbonized.

Before long, they inflated like many balloons, making a "hissing" sound.

Then, they were deflated, shriveled, and shrank until finally, they had completely transformed into black uteruses that had been stretched to the size of an adult, with the outline of a human still visible within.

The uterus gradually ruptured, and a fair-skinned woman emerged from it, the original uterus transforming into her long black dress.

Judging from her figure, she was graceful and flawless, capable of directly addressing the most primal desires of men, women, young and old, and even across species, but Ria still didn't react much.

Rudy opened her eyes, which concealed endless darkness: "How rude of me to have you all witnessed that embarrassing side of my transformation."

Ria: "What did you do to the original pregnant woman?"

"She is me, and I am her. It's just that after I got together with Pan, I suddenly realized that I have more important things to do than to be an eternally mediocre human being."

"for example?"

"For example, I should have more children to ensure that the future population only increases and never decreases, leading to prosperity, but the quality may not be guaranteed..."

Don't look at me like that. Even after all this, I still can't seduce you. So, you've truly transcended the realm of "humanity"?

She looked at the group behind Ria: "With so many prey today, I'm honestly a little embarrassed to take them all."

"Then there's no need to accept it."

Hephaestus suddenly stepped forward, a malfunction-like fluctuation appearing on his body. Then, his body was covered by a cloak, and a white mask appeared on his face.

He could have just watched the spectacle, until Rudy uttered the name "Pan".

"I see. You are Pan's new lover, and you are actually considered his child. After all, the pregnant woman created you through a series of twisted operations, and you inherited her memories."

Ludi pressed her temple: "Are you going to fight me too?"

Where is Pan?

"do not know."

"You don't want to talk about it? Or you don't understand his true nature. That thing won't give you any love or affection. He would rather turn the whole world into a monster like you."

The group started fighting again after a disagreement. Luti, who had shed her supernatural appearance and returned to human form, became even more difficult to deal with. Meanwhile, Hephaestus took the opportunity to explain to Ria what "Pan" was.

"The god of nature and fertility that people worship is this kind of thing. Unlike the abyss's reproduction, which only studies new species in the ocean, Pan is obsessed with doing some indescribable things with other species."

He usually appears in the form of a human or a goat, sometimes even half-human, half-goat. He might appear when someone prays to his statue for a child, and you probably already know what that means. We haven't seen him for a long time, but every time he appears, it's never a good thing; there's already enough chaos going on.

If everyone tries to disrupt our plans, even the most patient people will feel angry.

Hephaestus's tone was not very pleasant, and Ria found it quite unusual.

What he didn't know was that Pan had once thought the Hephaestus group was a very suitable target, so he went to harass them and even got several of his female clones pregnant.

According to his logic, Hephaestus's clones are inexhaustible, each one looks different, thinks different, and undoubtedly brings different kinds of pleasure.

But they share a common will, and if that will could be persuaded, it would be a perfect idea.

It would be a waste to leave Hephaestus's clone unused, since there's no reason why someone who has been transformed into a clone by Hephaestus should be forbidden from touching it again.

If one day everyone in the world turned into Hephaestus, would he just keep it to himself forever?

The world needs more diverse species to become interesting and vibrant.

Therefore, Pan used his overwhelming strength to attack some of his clones.

The clones hated that goat so much they were practically digging up mountains and digging up the ground to find him and tear him to pieces.

Upon hearing the reason, Lia was stunned and wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

The reason these non-human creatures became enemies was also... unusual and admirable.

But upon closer reflection, it's not entirely incomprehensible.

Lia shook her head. When did she start to understand things from a non-human perspective?
Hephaestus was about to beat Luti half to death before trying to lure Pan out, but Ria felt that he might not be able to defeat him with the strength of this clone, so after accepting a reward of ten gold coins, he decided to help him out.

So the two of them took up their weapons and attacked their target. Hephaestus held a sword, while Ria tapped the ground with her cane, and golden flames shot towards Lottie from the point of contact between the cane and the ground.

Lute vanished in an instant, and the next second, she suddenly reappeared behind Ria, her hand with blood-red nails about to pierce Ria. At this moment, Ria smiled coldly, and a pure golden eye split open on the back of her neck.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"

As expected, Ria heard the screams of the person behind her. Golden eyes began to appear on her skin, and her movements became sluggish as gray replaced her original color.

Lute was still unwilling to give up and continued her actions while she still had the ability to move. However, the moment she touched Ria, hard scales appeared on Ria's skin, cracking her nails.

The young man turned around and suddenly transformed into a giant bear, smashing the woman into a bloody mess. But soon, those things automatically revived.

The internal organs turned outwards and transformed into flesh, encasing the original flesh within them, and Lute's injuries healed instantly.

Hephaestus's longsword plunged straight into her abdomen from her head. Despite this, Lute still managed to lift her eyelids and look up. Her hair stretched out and bound Hephaestus's neck and body, pulling hard and ripping his head off.

"boom!"

The head and body landed and instantly transformed into two extraordinary creatures that had lost their skin and had only a vertical mouth as their facial features.

They hissed, grinding their sharp teeth together, and cruelly bit at Rudy. Rudy tried to fight back, but was once again flattened into a pulp by Ria's tentacles.

“This is getting a bit troublesome. Everyone here is immortal, or at least very difficult to kill. Besides, my tentacles can’t devour her whole.”

“It’s alright. Just the sight of this slaughter makes me tremble. I’d like to see how many times she can be resurrected. Pan gave her such powerful strength; he must value this offspring very much.”

The two extraordinary beings derived from Hephaestus spoke in unison. Ria pondered for a moment, a flash of golden light crossing her eyes.

“This child seems to be my follower, tainted by my faith.”

Are you going to protect her?

"No, trade is fair. Believers are attacking the gods, which is undoubtedly a grave sin of blasphemy and should be judged."

Hephaestus suddenly realized something and wisely chose not to speak at that moment: "..."

He saw Ria tap her cane again, and countless tentacles spread out to cover them until their vision was completely obscured by darkness.

When Hephaestus regained his vision, his first reaction was to cover his eyes.

Everything around him was too bright, and he sat on a wooden seat, his mask gone, surrounded by worshippers wearing trade symbol badges who had come to pray.

In front of her was a huge reversed cross, with Luti hanging upside down and bound in the middle. Above that was a viewing platform, and behind the platform was a terrifyingly large golden clock, with its hour, minute, and second hands changing at their own pace.

People whispered among themselves, and someone looked at Hephaestus, then suddenly exclaimed in shock: "Nyarlathotep..."

“Don’t mention that name.” Hephaestus’s face darkened.

"I deserve to die!" The person who almost brought up the name of Fuxing Chaos was terrified and became extremely anxious.

He was not so afraid until Hephis Gottour indicated that he didn't need to be so nervous, but he was still trembling.

"What do you want to ask?"

"M-My lord, I want to ask, how did we suddenly appear in the Golden Church in the Dreamland, and why does it look different from the last time I saw it?"

"Of course, who do you think has been repairing and renovating it all this time?"

Hephis Gauth leaned back slightly in his chair.

The solution that Ria came up with at that time was to bring Ruti into the Dreamland, where she could better utilize her strength. Moreover, the Golden Church was the territory of the Lord of Trade, and within the church, God was everything.

He looked up at the viewing platform, an area enclosed by a waist-high metal fence that was completely empty, and he had no idea what Ria would do next.

Come to think of it, he still hasn't revealed the meme he'll be performing next. Has he finally given up on himself?
As Hephaestus pondered this question, and the believers around him were filled with unease, he suddenly discovered something in a corner of the church.

It was a beetle the size of a pigeon, with a strange appearance, and it was being fed by believers. The feeding over the past few days had made it quite fat.

"Isn't that Shaen? Serge has already bothered all of our other clones to find it. It's just a Shagai worm."

Although they are very rare now, these creatures used to be everywhere on the pyramids; it's hard to imagine that Sherger would actually like something like this.

"With so many clones... there are all sorts of people."
