They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 417 Deep Sea City
The only time people share the same stance is when they accept their own powerlessness in the face of a common disaster.

"Let me tell you, I hate focusing on children's mental health issues the most, so let's talk about the first one first."

If you want to portray a curse master, then tell me who you want to curse and what kind of curse you want to place on them.
I can sense that you are an extraordinary person, and this ship will not be your final destination, so listen to me, child, I will help you in any way I can.

But that kid—hey, he treats every other person we arrest the same way, and there were even people on the ship who wanted to kill me, and look, I'm still alive and well here.”

“…” Ria was silent for a moment, “The Radiant Sun is about to awaken, and I think the target of my curse is Him.”

"My abyss, do you want to curse the god?" Delos almost spat out the wine he had just drunk, along with his ink.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no, of course there's no problem, child. I admire your courage and unique ideas. As long as you stand against that foolish sun, we're friends."

However, every curse requires a soul as a medium, and the curse caster must pay a certain price; in other words, it's a transaction.

"trade?"

"That's right! Casting a curse is not an easy thing. When you curse someone, there is also a great chance that you will be cursed back, which is the most terrifying thing."

It's difficult enough for an ordinary person to cast a curse, let alone target the radiant sun with your curse. May I ask, do you even understand what a transaction is?

Ria: "..."

Ria: "I know a little."

"Stop joking. Your eyes clearly show you don't understand trading. It's indeed difficult to explain this. First, you need to be qualified to talk about trading—"

"So? Interested in a fight? If you can't even beat me, what right do you have to curse the sun?"

Are you sure you want to fight me?

"What, are you scared? It's normal to be scared, after all, I've never seen a meme 4 person so brave as to challenge a meme 2 person."

As our meme level increases, the performance becomes increasingly difficult. Of course, the power boost from a successful performance will be more substantial. In other words, you can't defeat me, but I'm still willing to give you a chance to guide me.

“Sounds good!” Ria smiled.

"But before that, may I ask you a question?"

"Excuse me."

"I'd like to know how you successfully portrayed the cursed mage meme."

"That's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short."

"At that time, I had only recently become a superhuman. My wife found out about my illness, but she didn't abandon me. She really is a good girl, isn't she?"
At first, he wanted to find a treatment method with me. At that time, we were very much in love. She was even pregnant with my child. We had expectations and desires for a bright future. As long as she was by my side, I had nothing to be afraid of.

For a long time, we have stayed together, and everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

We believed the child would be born safely and my illness would be cured, but do you know what happened next?!
After the doctors learned that my illness was contamination, they began to treat me as an outsider, and my wife was also subjected to verbal and physical abuse.

They all believed my wife was a witch! Even the child in her womb was a demon, and that once the child was born, the entire town would be doomed.

So they set up a trap for me. Someone said he could cure my illness and lied that he was a plague doctor. My wife and I were overjoyed.

However, while he was supposedly treating my illness, other people kidnapped my wife.

They believed this ominous witch had brought them sin. They wanted to kill her! It's always unfortunate when it involves the supernatural; my wife and children died just like that.

And those fools even wanted to kill me, what a joke—it happened to be raining heavily at the time, so I cursed them, saying that there would be an unprecedented torrential rain that would drown them all.

As a price, I sacrificed the souls of my wife and children. Perhaps if I hadn't done that, they would have had a chance to live... Perhaps I killed them with my own hands, but the supernatural directly bestowed upon me the meme of "Curse Master." Heh heh, its personality is truly wicked.

That's the truth, young man. I'm teaching you based on my experience.

"You want to curse the sun? What will you use to pay the price? What do you want to use to pay the price?"

His two round eyes suddenly turned blood red, and the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, as if countless lightning bolts were hiding in them, eager to come down and join in the revelry.

Ria had always known that the personalities of superhumans were unpredictable, and now their captain was clearly starting to get angry.

However, Lia remained calm, casually leaving behind the question: "Are you sure you want to fight me here?"

The next moment, he turned and left the cabin, walking step by step toward the edge of the ship.

Finally, he turned back and let his body plunge into the sea. Delos laughed, threw away his bottle, and dashed towards the ocean.

Ria transformed into a fish in the ocean, swimming at incredible speed.

But it was obvious that Delos was faster behind him. He had a natural advantage here. Ria also wanted to know where the difference was between herself and the superhuman of Model Two. If they stayed on the ship, their ship would probably be destroyed the moment they fought.

To avoid that situation, Ria chose to fight against the opponent on their home turf.

The deep sea was so silent that when Ria, in her fish form, looked down, she saw only darkness. It seemed that countless monsters lurked in the abyss, watching her with predatory intent.

When he looked up, a giant squid had already enveloped him, its tentacles reaching out menacingly towards him.

Ria fled quickly, with the squid hot on her heels: "Is all you can do is run away? You're so afraid to face me head-on? Is this what you call a superhuman? If this is all you've got, then what makes you think you can curse the sun? You're just delusional!"

Lia ignored what the other person said for the time being and continued to swim downstream.

Many people probably have this idea: to keep going down a road, or to keep falling into the ocean, to the deepest part of the ocean to see what's there.

For a long time, Ria raced against Delos behind him, wanting to know his speed limit and the true extent of the abyss, as well as the veracity of the contents of the book on the passenger ship.

There must be a reason this place is called the forbidden sea. Ria continued to dive, with Delos in hot pursuit—

However, at a certain point, Deleuze stopped chasing and remained motionless, as if time had been suddenly paused by someone.

"..."

Somewhat confused, Lia swam up and discovered that not only him, but all the fish around him had stopped moving, as if in an instant they had all turned into lifeless toys.

Strange murmurs echoed from the deep sea, just as the diary had written: perhaps a civilization exists beneath the waves, far surpassing any civilization we know today.

The scene I witnessed in the Abyss Ruins was horrifying enough, let alone the fact that this place is known as the Forbidden Sea.

So, should we leave here or continue downwards?
Ria chose to continue downstream, even though the pressure of the seawater around him was almost suffocating him, he still insisted on continuing to swim downstream.

At this moment, he seemed to have some kind of obsession; as long as he kept going downstream, he would uncover the mystery hidden in his heart.

After an unknown amount of time, the concept of time had completely disappeared in the darkness.

Finally, he touched something, or something touched him.

Ria turned around and found a black figure behind her! The figure was covered in seaweed, its eyes had been eaten away by fish, and even its internal organs were gone. It remained suspended in that position, trying to grab her.

Lia didn't even realize when he appeared behind her.

"I see. There are human corpses on the seabed, but it's not a big deal."

He continued downstream, and darkness completely enveloped him.

He had never felt so quiet, as if returning to the embrace of his mother. At this moment, his body gradually stiffened and became motionless, leaving him no choice but to let nature take its course and let himself sink to the bottom of the sea.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally touched the bottom. However, by then, Ria was completely unable to move. But compared to the scene before him, being unable to move seemed like a trivial problem.

Because Ria had reached the seabed, which is the abyss, an abyss that terrifies countless people.

Just as the diary says, this place has its own civilization.

Because Ria had seen countless people—yes, people.

The people stood vertically on the seabed, their bodies tilted at a 15-degree angle, all leaning in one direction. In front of them, in that tilted direction, lay an incredibly large city.

This city seems to be a relic left over from ancient times, sleeping in an endless abyss of darkness, exuding a chilling aura.

Its architectural style is unique, with tall stone pillars and arches carved with mysterious symbols, seemingly telling a story of a long-forgotten history. The entire city is covered with dark brown seaweed, like a ghost of the ocean, swaying gently and exuding an eerie atmosphere.

Sunlight cannot penetrate the thick seaweed curtain of darkness to reach this city, which is always shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

In the heart of the city, a towering structure stands, its body covered with mottled marks, its top shimmering with a deep blue light, like an inextinguishable lamp illuminating this city by the deep sea.

It was shrouded in a suffocating atmosphere of terror, as if some terrifying creature might emerge from the shadows at any moment.

In the corners of the city, low growls and wails could be heard from time to time, sending chills down one's spine. It seemed as if countless prying eyes were hidden in the seaweed, constantly monitoring every corner of the city.

This enormous, terrifying city in the deep sea is a forgotten world, hidden deep within the ocean, isolated from the outside world, seemingly waiting for something—perhaps a chance for revival, or perhaps a catastrophe of destruction.

Anyone who dares to step into this forbidden land will feel an indescribable terror, as if they are gradually falling into a nightmare from which they cannot escape.

We will eventually return...

【wake……】

【Domination...】

He will eventually... be revived.

The scene before Ria's eyes grew increasingly chaotic and distorted. Finally, those things transformed into enormous bubbles and vanished, with countless tentacles suddenly bursting forth. In the deep darkness, they wriggled, twisted, and entwined, spreading silently like a swarm of nightmares.

They are purplish-gray omens of death, sending chills down one's spine. They have no fixed shape, sometimes meandering like snakes, sometimes spreading out like octopus tentacles, and sometimes like a bunch of intertwined tree roots, drawing silent traces in the air, carrying an indescribable terror.

Now, they are slowly reaching out to unsuspecting humans, their cold, slippery texture sending chills down one's spine. When they wrap around a person's body, the cold, damp sensation instantly plunges them into extreme panic.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Ria heard someone shouting, and all the upright humans suddenly came to life, their faces filled with terror as they tried to escape the bizarre and extreme phenomena.

Unfortunately, the tentacles move with extraordinary agility, making it impossible to see their true form.

Their tips even have sharp spikes, and once you get entangled, it's hard to break free. The inside of these things is full of mucus, and the strong fishy smell is unbearable.

When they tightly entangle their prey, the intense feeling of confinement makes one feel as if they are being swallowed by endless darkness.

Driven by fear, people often fall into a state of despair. They struggle and scream, trying to break free from these tentacles.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of these terrifying beings. In the end, they could only slowly exhaust their strength in this endless torment until the last moment of their lives. These twisted and terrifying tentacles became an eternal nightmare in people's hearts.

Finally, everyone returned to their original positions, standing on the seabed at a 15-degree angle, their faces filled with piety.

The dark brown seaweed still drifted in the deep sea like ghosts, beckoning to Ria.

The last thing Ria saw was the unfolding of a pair of enormous black wings behind the endless tentacles, and then his vision was plunged into complete darkness...

"Kelcha?"

"Kelcha!"
