They all call me an Outer God.

"He will eventually awaken!"

Like a thunderclap, or a long alarm bell, a huge whirlpool suddenly surged from the dark purple sea. Delos saw that the body of Qisha, whom he was protecting, was changing, as if it was decaying rapidly, until only a layer of damp, seaweed-covered skin remained to cover the skeleton.

She reached out and pulled a piece of seaweed out of her eye socket.

"I have always believed that all people come from the sea, and that people should respect the ocean and return to it."

“But my people have changed. They crave the beauty of the land, squandering the gifts of the old master and creating nightmares for His rest.”

Delos swiftly threw her into the water, but Qisha floated on the surface: "Often, what people fear most is what will come to pass, but please do not be afraid, our Lord will give us all—a true homeland."

"Where are my crew members?" Delos sensed that everyone here was no longer normal. He was now more concerned about the innocent people. Seeing this, Ria waved her hand on the sea.

A sailboat full of people was moored there, ignoring the whirlpool. Before Delos could even rejoice, a dark tentacle suddenly emerged from the abyss and slammed the sailboat into the sea with a single blow, shattering its hull.

This scene was enough to enrage anyone, but Delos sensed that Ria had somehow managed to transfer them all the moment they fell into the water.

Fortunately.

Delos couldn't help but think to himself.

Fortunately, that person still had humanity. Since he still retained some humanity, what would happen next should also be within Ria's expectations. Upon careful consideration, dealing with the Old Ones can only rely on the Old Ones; it is almost impossible for humans to contend with them.

Delos was trying to convince himself that since things had already happened, there was no point in worrying. If these survivors weren't stopped soon, they would riot and even swim to the coasts of various countries.

Internal and external troubles are nothing more than this.

"Lord Kercha, what are your plans next?"

“Your Majesty, first of all, I am very grateful for your trust. I think you are now eager to find that person from the past.”

"Now that the seal has been broken, the ancient city at the bottom of the sea will inevitably appear. I think you can go to the bottom of the sea, while your followers and I will stay on the surface to deal with the remnants of the past."

Trust us, we will soon reach the deep sea.

Lia said sincerely that since the other party had been so generous in choosing him as an advisor, he would naturally not be stingy with his thoughts.

What might appear on the seabed is currently unknown, and the danger level is terrifyingly high; a moment's carelessness could lead to a major disaster.

Just in case, Ria wanted Hastur to go to the deep sea first, as he didn't really care about the sea creatures.

A problem that can be solved with a sacrifice, it's good to keep them company for a while.

Hastur saw through Ria's idea, but still acquiesced to it. He dived into the sea and seemed to transform into some huge mythical creature. The mythical creature forcibly wrapped its tentacles around the sea surface and dragged it into the deep sea.

……

Enderus, in the southern region, somewhere in the Siberian Mountains.

An expedition of three male adventurers is exploring this place. They have learned of a rumor that something called the "Mark of War" is hidden here. Once it is unlocked, the War Knight will appear and protect Enderus from any war for a hundred years.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, a government-funded trip to the Siberian Mountains is still a worthwhile experience.

The climate here is hot and humid, the forests are lush and verdant, and the number of wild animals is quite considerable.

"What are the rumors?" "The rumors say that when disaster strikes, the messengers of the radiant sun will protect us, but at that time, warriors must go to find those four messengers."

"Do you think the messenger will give us a large reward?"

"The messengers of the radiant sunrise are also gods. A single glance from a god can benefit us for a lifetime. I can't wait to see them!"

These adventurers, holding flashlights and imagining themselves as heroes who would end the war, were suddenly tripped over something and fell face-first into the mud.

The others were all startled when they saw this. They shone their flashlights on the ground and discovered that what had tripped them was a beetle the size of a pigeon with an extremely strange appearance.

The beetle raised its antennae and spun around, greeting them in a very friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Shane!"

He spoke...

"The insect spoke!!!"

Upon hearing the beetle speak, the two took off running, ignoring their fallen companion. They sprinted wildly, while Shane, left far behind, merely smiled, his antennae twitching even more frequently.

Not long after, those people ran back to the same spot from another direction, which surprised them even more, because they knew exactly what this meant.

get lost?

No.

It was this beetle that did the work; it is very likely a supernatural being!
"Are you in the mood to listen to me now?"

"Please speak." The group immediately deflated.

"Alright, now that you've come this far, I'm going to tell you the truth. The truth is that the war has acknowledged your efforts and sent me as your messenger. With me here, your journey will be much smoother."

"Really?" someone questioned.

“Yes, not only that, I can also lead you to Him. He has been waiting for you for a long time. You are all chosen by God.”

Shane's words were very sincere; it was willing to guarantee with Sherger that if it was lying, it would make that guy get hit by a car while walking.

For the next few minutes, Shane continued to deceive the crowd until they completely believed him. Then, Shane spoke again.

"There will always be storms ahead of the rainbow, just like our adventure has not been smooth sailing. We will continue together. If you see anyone wearing a dog-head mask, please hide me. That person is our enemy."

If you see people wearing other masks, please don't mind them; they are our friends.

“If you see a mask on the ground, do not hesitate to pick it up and put it on your face. It means that God is getting closer and closer to us—this is a great thing.”

Before it finished speaking, a blank mask appeared on the ground. There were three people, but only one mask.

The group looked at each other, and someone snatched the mask before anyone else could. Just as he was about to put it on, the other two surrounded him and punched him one after the other. It was clear that they didn't want him to keep the good thing all to himself.

Shaun crawled slowly on the ground, probing this and that with his antennae, and couldn't help but shout, "Stop fighting!"
