They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 413 Follow Me

"Hahaha, how could I have such a thought? You're a human being, how could you eat people..."

Kanebart was lying through his teeth, but he was already silently pacing to the side, getting further and further away from Ria.

Ria stared at the group of sea creatures below. Her mentor's body was still on the ground, having been eaten by the supernatural beings in just a short time.

For a moment, Ria felt somewhat sorry for her mentor, even though this situation was nothing to her mentor.

Even if Delos hadn't said anything, Ria wouldn't have let the supernatural beings below go unpunished.

He walked to the edge of the boat, used the hand holding his cane to steady the brim of his hat, and with the other hand he braced himself on the metal, he leaped off the boat.

After he landed, the supernatural creatures that had been hiding suddenly emerged from the ruins or sand like enraged sharks and rushed towards Ria. Ria swung his cane, which was instantly shaped by black tentacles into a sturdy chain.

Ria swung the chain, and flames gradually appeared on its body. As the fiery chain swung, the extraordinary creatures that touched it were scorched red-hot and then firmly bound by the metal chain, unable to move.

Flames are the natural enemy of these guys, but at this moment, Ria did not show any smugness. He was looking for a mentor. Although in the original owner's memories, he respected his mentor and their relationship seemed to be very good, in reality, he had never been convinced by his mentor.

This is probably the mutual dislike among academics; Ria just had an idea.

Perhaps the mentor can wake up on his own.

But this method won't work. The body needs repair, and repair might require materials, which sea meat isn't a suitable material.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ivand, I'll be right there to rescue you."

Lia raised her hand toward the sky, and instantly, the sky turned blood red, and a huge white magic circle appeared in mid-air, enveloping the earth.

Then, the magic circle absorbed all the red in the sky, and countless fireballs fell to the ground like meteors. Kanebart on the ship was dumbfounded, while Delos laughed heartily.

"Yes, ordinary attacks are ineffective against these sea creatures. This is the best way to attack them: leave no one alive! Leave no one alive!!!"
"Sailor, go get me a barrel of wine, I want to drink!"

"Boss, you can forget about drinking. If you keep going like this, you'll turn into a grilled squid!"

"Don't you have enough faith in me?"

Delos waved his tentacles, and an invisible barrier instantly enveloped the ship: "In a critical moment, I can protect my ship."

"So, boss, what's the point of you smashing the deck all the time?"

Delos: "You talk too much nonsense, go get me some wine!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the sailors brought him a barrel of wine, and Delos opened his tentacles and swallowed the wine, barrel and all, in one gulp with the squid's mouthparts. After drinking the wine, he became even more excited, slapping his tentacles on the deck and cheering for this apocalyptic scene.

Burn them! Burn them!

Lia observed the supernatural beings with a solemn expression to see if there was anything unusual. Most of the supernatural beings, even the most stupid ones, would quickly burrow into the soil to try to escape when they saw this scene. However, there was one supernatural being that could not burrow down no matter what.

Its body was rapidly mutating, with its limbs and head melting close to its body and growing giant tumors.

In other words, it transformed into a giant creature that looked remarkably like a sea cucumber.

Ria then slid her staff, which had broken free of its chain form, towards it and leaped backward. With a loud crash, the contents of the extraordinary creature's body exploded and scattered all over the ground.

Ria found a mentor within him, and he became somewhat sticky. However, if Swarth ate it and then spat it out, it would be much cleaner. In the next second, countless tentacles emerged from the shadows, entwining Ivand and dragging him into the darkness.

Lia stood on the ruins, flames raging overhead, and supernatural creatures fleeing all around her. But countless tentacles were already lurking beneath the soil. Once they burrowed down to a certain depth, they would find they could go no further and would be forced to accept their fate of death.

“You are all victims of war, and I don’t want to treat you like this.”

He said this, but the tentacles lurking underground showed no sign of loosening their grip.

【Here's what we'll do: although you're all ordinary people with almost no ability to evolve further, I can give you this opportunity】

You will serve as the backbone of Enderles in the future, continuing to fight for Enderles.

Ria plans to prepare a performance of Meme 3, the meme he wants to perform is—

Curse Master.

【I will curse you in the name of plague, and you will be trapped for eternity in the corruption of life mutation, unable to escape until the day of Judgment, when only the survivors will be qualified to break free of the curse】

Now, follow me.

These sounds can only be heard by the target organism.

Ria walked in a certain direction, and the flames above her head suddenly turned into black flames. The pure, liquid blackness fell from the sky without making a sound, and the whole world was eerily quiet.

All those extraordinary creatures turned to ashes, leaving not even a single intact fragment, while Ria was instantly enveloped in a cocoon by tentacles, completely unharmed.

As the dust settled, he stood beneath the ship and looked back at Captain Squid on the pirate vessel. Squid showed no sign of frustration or anger at the fact that its prey had been burned to ashes; instead, it became unusually excited.

"Great! Great!!! Okay!!!"

“Now, you are one of us, Ria Kercha! I want to hire you as our deck commander!”

The chief deck officer's main task is to assist the captain in managing various tasks on board, including directing the crew, maintaining cabin equipment, and developing operational plans.

After the barriers disappeared, he went directly to the deck, saying it was an honor for him.

So he was given a deckmaster's uniform, which looked like something someone from the last century would wear. It was rather cumbersome, but it suited the overall style of the steam pirate ship.

He held the eye patch, unsure whether to wear it or not. Strictly speaking, the eye with which he wore a monocle was not blind, but the sailors told him that one did not necessarily have to be blind to be a pirate; it was a traditional symbol of piracy.

"Hey, you think that old bearded man over there replaced his arm with an iron hook because he lost it? No, actually that iron hook can be removed."

"I see!"

Lia simply put on the goggles and a monocle to prevent the pollution from worsening.

Now, the crew praised him, saying, "That's more like it. Actually, there's something else I need to tell you."

"We are not pirates, we are the navy. The reason for this is that our captain intercepted a foreign pirate ship before. At that time, those pirates relied on their firearms to fight us. Then, the next second, when they saw a squid bigger than the ship suddenly emerge from the sea, they were all stunned."

Our great Captain Delos thus entangled the pirate ship, threw all the pirates into the sea, and then distributed all the treasure on the pirate ship to us. At that moment, we thought he was the best general in the world.

Later, we thought being pirates was more interesting, so we called ourselves pirates!

A group of people gathered in the cabin to host a welcome banquet for Ria. The damp cabin was filled with rusted metal and condensation. The entire room contained only a long table more than ten meters long, a bunch of chairs, and further inside was the kitchen, where a chef was preparing the fish that had just been caught that day.

“Our boss also has a parrot, let me show you.”

A crew member brought in a brightly colored parrot that was nearly a meter long. The parrot greeted Ria with a "hello".

Lia couldn't quite imagine the combination of squid and parrot, but he also looked down and rummaged through the ground for something. While everyone was curious, he pulled out a dark, lumpy thing.

The thing suddenly moved, then opened its golden eyes that glowed in the dim light and looked at the crowd. The crowd immediately jumped up from their seats and went into a frenzy.

"What is this? What is this?!"

"Why didn't you show us this good thing sooner? Let me touch it!"

"Goo!"

Little Swarth watched as the hands drew ever closer, his feathers visibly swelling.

"Don't touch it, it will bite, but you can feed it."

Ria introduced Little Swarth to them, and everyone asked curiously, "What kind of animal is this?"

"Extraordinary beings".

"You keep supernatural beings as pets?"

"No, no, it's more like family than my pet."

Moreover, Shwaal is not a supernatural being; if these people knew that, they would probably be even more shocked.

More white steam billowed from the stern of the ship, and the metal bearings whirred and made a somewhat noisy sound.

"Ugh——"

The ship sailed away, and soon its figure disappeared into the white mist.

The extraordinary creatures that had been reduced to ashes in the ruins suddenly stirred. Many extraordinary creatures of different shapes crawled out of the ashes and stood still like puppets.

Such extraordinary creatures multiplied until a hand appeared...

A naked man crawled out of the ashes, standing still like those extraordinary creatures. After a long while, he blinked and looked at his hands and body.

"I... I'm back to normal!?"

"They turned back into humans from supernatural beings, but how is that possible... Is this the true power of trade?"

Just as the man was utterly shocked by his own transformation, an uncontrollable scene unfolded: all the extraordinary creatures turned to look at him in unison, and then pounced towards him.

More and more extraordinary beings are piling up in that direction, as if the appearance of humans is an unacceptable mistake that must be destroyed once it appears.

Lia was unaware of all this.

He had just introduced Little Swarth to his new colleagues, and everyone was happy that there were finally other interesting creatures on the ship. The captain wouldn't let them touch his parrot. Although Ria didn't mind others interacting with Little Swarth, Little Swarth did.

It will bite off any hand that tries to touch it, except for Ria's. Of course, feeding it is no problem.

For a time, the situation remained relatively harmonious among these people.

The ship was heading towards the Sea of ​​Bathurs. Along the way, Ria saw many extraordinary creatures on the ruins of the battlefield. This place had clearly become their territory, and there was no trace of the human battlefield left.

"In the end what happened……"

Ria's gaze was solemn, and a crew member told him that wars between two countries were normal wars. From cold weapons to firearms, the war was initiated by people, and the people fighting on the battlefield should also be people.

However, the neighboring country sent superhumans first, and Enderus was naturally unwilling to show weakness. In the end, they used every superhuman, superhuman creature, and mysterious item they could find. By the end, they had forgotten why they were fighting in the first place and were only thinking about destroying everyone.

Then one night, a sudden earthquake triggered a tsunami. The sea was furious; it swallowed everything. No matter what kind of existence it was, it was so insignificant in the face of nature.

From that day on, tsunamis became frequent, and the coast was no longer safe. So the remaining people began to fight naval battles, determined not to let the other side gain any advantage.

Ria looked at the crew member telling the story: "So what did people gain from this war?"

"Slaves, spices, gold, rare plants and animals, mystical items and women, and yes, colonies."

"If war breaks out today, what meaning would it have?"

“Slaves, spices, gold, rare plants and animals, mystery items and women, and colonies.”

In the crew's eyes, these were the most important things: "But our boss wouldn't let us say that. Our boss said it was all to bring civilization to those backward and ignorant places."

Do you believe war is justified?

“It’s definitely not correct, but someone pays us to dump us here, so we have to do what they say.”

After listening, Lia roughly understood their long-standing mindset, but it was rather foolish for them to still be concerned about their so-called interests while ignoring the bigger picture.

Perhaps Judgment Day has a purpose...

Ria shook her head, found Captain Delos, and believed that their priority was to find out the cause of the tsunami and resolve it, rather than fighting here.

Delos just smiled when he heard this: "Friend, I admire your talent and your ability, but Judgment Day... do you really believe that kind of thing exists?"
I do not believe in the Radiant Sun. Who cares about His so-called Day of Judgment? The contents of those books are purely written by rulers to deceive fools. Compared to the Radiant Sun, I believe in the Lord of the Storm and the Abyss.

Look how cool a tsunami is! The storm sweeps up giant waves like a roaring beast, and the sky is filled with needle-like rain and dark, oppressive clouds. Only in that kind of weather can you feel its reality and the insignificance and greatness of life.

I nearly died in those conditions, but I survived. The raging winds and towering waves couldn't destroy me, let alone a mere Judgment Day.
