They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 418 Sword

"Kelcha, Kelcha!?"

Ria was shaken awake. He opened his eyes and found himself still on the deck, with Delos looking at him with worry in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly faint while we were talking? All I wanted to do was fight you, is that why you're under so much pressure...?"

"Well then, I won't fight you anymore. Will that make you feel better? Honestly, why didn't you tell me sooner that you were so sickly? You get seasick, why did you even become a pirate?"

"seasick?"

I just fainted; what happened just now was a hallucination!?

Ria jumped up and rushed to the deck, looking at the sea. The sea was still as blue as ever, but now it was a dark blue, a dark blue that was chilling.

He gazed at the sea and, for the first time, felt seasick.

"Are you kidding me? I get seasick?!"

Lia shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

I couldn't have fainted just now because of seasickness, that's such a lame excuse. It was a very vivid dream where there was a city underwater, and people living in that city.

Perhaps this is a premonition; every dream has its reason for happening. At this moment, Delos came up behind him and asked if he needed some seasickness medication.

Lia told the other man that she wasn't actually seasick. After a moment, he asked, "Captain, do you believe the stories circulating from the Forbidden Sea?"

"The story of the Forbidden Sea? There are hundreds of versions of it. What are you referring to?"

"Legend has it that there is a long-dormant city on the seabed of this area, inhabited by people. I think I saw that city when I fainted just now."

"You say you saw it? Good heavens! Kelcha, I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, but I've explored this area countless times, scouring almost every corner I've ever found. But do you know what? There's nothing here. There aren't many shipwrecks, and certainly no underwater city as you're talking about."

You have to believe that those legends are just legends. As our meme level increases, our mind and soul become more susceptible to influence.

"Kelcha, tell me, besides the deep-sea city and the people, what else did you see there?"

"I also saw..."

Ria thought of the dark brown seaweed and the endless tentacles, and even a giant wing extending from the back of the tentacles, all of which gave people a great sense of oppression.

When he told me all this, Delos firmly believed that those things didn't exist at all.

"I advise you not to overthink it. There is nothing on the seabed in this area. It is called the 'Forbidden Sea' only because it is located on the maritime border of several countries and its ownership is currently disputed, making it easy for war to break out."

“I see.” Ria nodded.

The more he said that, the more Lia thought about it. He believed that what he had just seen could not possibly have been a simple dream, but must have some other meaning.

The ship continued sailing in a certain direction.

The crew members were also doing their own things.

"Ah—" Delos noticed that Ria seemed preoccupied, so he asked him, "Didn't you just say you wanted to have a fight? What, does that still stand?"

Lia smiled: "Of course it counts."

"Then let's fight now. Fighting will make all your negative emotions disappear. Maybe what you just saw was just a hallucination caused by too much stress lately."

After saying that, Delos jumped into the sea, and the crew members rushed to the edge of the ship and began to cheer.

"Is there going to be a good show?"

"Are you guys going to start fighting!?"

"Go for it! It doesn't matter who wins, Captain. We believe you can defeat the evil captain and overthrow his wicked rule!"

"Alright!" Delos stretched out his tentacles to drive them away.

"Get out of here! This isn't a place for you to watch the show. You might get caught in the crossfire."

The crew was extremely excited, waving to the sea from the ship: "It's alright, Captain!!! We now believe you'll know what's good for you and won't hurt us!"

"Where did you get this sense of propriety from? Weren't you always slandering me, saying I preyed on my crew? Why are you now rushing to curry favor with me—"

Lia also received support from some people who said, "Go, sir! Try to defeat that giant squid, and then make us squid sashimi for dinner tonight."

"If you can defeat that evil ruler, we will recognize you as the new captain."

Lia realized they were joking and teasing her, and immediately thought they were really enthusiastic. She couldn't help but smile, and then jumped into the sea.

Just as he was about to touch the surface of the sea, he used a magician's touch, casually slicing the water with his cane—

"Stab!!!!"

Suddenly, cracks appeared in the waves, and those cracks emitted a blue light at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, the low-temperature mist spread out and built up a huge layer of ice on the sea surface.

And this time was only half a second.

"clatter."

Lia landed smoothly on the ice, holding her hat, her clothes fluttering freely in the wind.

However, the ice layer was shattered by a huge squid tentacle, which swelled to hundreds of times its original size. When people saw that scene, no one could help but tremble at the monster's enormous size.

Delos has already begun its attack in this direction. Its size has also swelled, and its body color has turned crimson due to excitement—this is a squid's habit of changing its color according to its emotions.

Come on! Let me see just how capable you are!
Ria said he didn't deserve the praise, and he leaped backward to avoid the oncoming tentacles, causing ice crystals to scatter everywhere.

At that moment, Delos climbed onto a piece of broken ice, and a distorted afterimage flashed, and he actually turned into a person.

The human-looking Delos wears an eyepatch and a pirate captain's hat with a white one-eyed skull and its ribs symbol, making him the most standard pirate captain.

And there was a colorful feather stuck in his hat, which was his parrot feather, showing that the captain really had a good relationship with his parrot.

At this moment, the ship was completely silent.

Many crew members were bewildered but impressed—how did the captain turn into a human?!
"So he can turn into a human. I thought our captain was a talking octopus."

"That's squid!" "What's the difference?"

"Of course, octopuses are even more... even more... um..."

"What a fuss."

The veteran crew members all said, "Look how excited you are! When did the captain ever say he couldn't become human? He just likes being a squid. He's only in this form so you can better watch the battle."

Wouldn't it be incredibly boring if they fought as supernatural beings?

"How could it be boring? We find it interesting whenever the captains are fighting."

The crew's spirits rose even higher.

The battle between Ria and Delos continues. It seems that Ria is struggling as a disordered meme of the fourth generation against a patient of the second generation, but in fact, Ria once injured James, a meme of the first generation.

In essence, he wasn't afraid of the enemy before him. However, it was always better to be cautious, just in case; caution was never a bad thing.

The Delos before him seemed to be the complete opposite of what he had imagined. In his mind, there was no way that Ria could defeat him, and that fighting him would help establish his authority.

Perhaps this battle can serve as an opportunity for subordinates to appreciate their abilities, thereby making them more obedient to them.

Ria's eyes were filled with arrogance. He would not easily trust anyone, and it was difficult for people to make him submit or stay in one place. Delos felt that it was more interesting to conquer someone with such eyes.

A long sword appeared in his hand, its blade extremely thin, a type of sword specifically designed for combat.

Seeing this, Ria raised her cane and pointed it at Delos, seemingly intending to accept the challenge. Delos laughed excitedly.

"A cane? Don't you have a sword? If you lose to me with something like that, don't say I'm bullying a young man. You'd better draw your sword."

Lia laughed: "To be honest, I am not good with swords, and I don't have a sword as a weapon."

I've had this walking stick for a long time; I'm attached to it. If I were to replace it with something else, I'd feel out of place.

"Oh? So you usually use a cane to attack your opponent when you fight. What do you do? Do you just raise the cane and beat them up?"

"Actually, I sometimes use a scythe as a weapon, but I still prefer using my tentacles—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Delos suddenly looked up at his feet and saw that wriggling, dark matter had appeared beneath him at some unknown time. In the next instant, these things rushed towards him all at once.

"Whoosh—" Delos raised his sword and cut them in half, then abruptly changed direction in mid-air, rushing in front of Ria and thrusting his sword at him.

Ria quickly used his cane to block, and with a "clang," he was knocked back a long distance. The ice beneath him cracked, and as he turned around, the ice spread out again from under him, forming a place to step on.

Ria instinctively looked at her cane and noticed a huge crack in the middle, as if it would break at any moment.

"it is good!!!"

The crew members on board were thrilled. They cheered for the two of them and even started their own "casino," betting on who would win and who would be able to board the ship with a smile.

No one was worried that the battle might affect them in any way. Battles of this scale were rare, and for those who were not superhuman, it was truly a once-in-a-century visual feast.

Everyone was cheering and applauding, except for the child who had just boarded the ship.

He still had his own goals to achieve and couldn't die so easily. He thought he would no longer feel fear, but as he watched the fight, he couldn't help but tremble.

Monster, that's absolutely a monster.

Superhumans are all monsters—is that really a power that humans can achieve? Why can they still laugh so happily? Aren't they afraid that monsters of that level will suddenly go out of control and kill them all?
That's a power no human could attain! What he wanted to summon was the most powerful thing he could imagine. In his mind, he would summon the Great Old One from the volume and make everyone regret the evil they had committed.

However, the two people before him possessed power far exceeding the maximum extent of his imagination.

"Oh? You seem to have some skills."

When Delos saw that Ria had actually blocked his attack, he became even more excited. His swordsmanship was fierce and unpredictable, with tricky angles, and every move seemed to be trying to pierce Ria's brain.

Ria resisted effortlessly, but the cane in her hand seemed about to give way under the weight. After all, it was just a second-hand cane that Ria had bought from the second-hand market. It had fulfilled its greatest responsibility by staying with Ria until now.

"Snap," the cane broke.

As Ria saw the sword about to pierce his head, his body instantly turned into mist and vanished, reappearing a short distance away in the next second, looking at the cane in his hand with a complicated expression.

Are you mourning your weapon?

Delos twirled his sword, the silvery flash of the blade causing everyone on the ship to hold their breath for a moment, followed by a frenzy of celebration.

Shamir, on the contrary, became increasingly nervous. He reached into his pocket and gripped the paper tightly, unusually doubting his own abilities.

Can he really defeat those monsters?
Will he really be able to successfully summon the monster from the scroll?
Can he really guarantee that the monsters he summons will be more powerful than those people?

No one can give him any assurances, so what should he do?
Can he still succeed in getting revenge?

In an instant, Shamir was gripped by unprecedented panic, but at that moment, a strange and ancient voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Don't be afraid, no one will stand in your way.

In an instant, Shamir looked around and found that everyone was focused on the fight between Ria and Delos, and no one was paying attention to him.

That means no one was talking to him just now. So who was talking to him?

"who are you?"

Shamir gritted his teeth.

Who do you think I am? You can guess, and there's a reward if you guess right!

"How could I possibly have guessed that?!"

"It seems I overestimated your experience. But that's alright, we'll be friends from now on. Let me introduce myself—everyone calls me the King of Dead Dreams, and I am also the master of the Book of Revelation. Trust me, we'll get along very well from now on."

At this moment, the struggle between Ria and Delos continues.

Delos thought that he was looking at the broken part of the cane because he was reluctant to part with the notebook, but in fact, Ria had just suddenly seen a golden shadow and had to stop repairing the cane and stand there to watch.

He sensed something was about to appear over there, and after holding his breath for three seconds—
