They all call me an Outer God.

The dice gleamed with a scarlet light, and just as Ria was about to examine them, they fell to the ground on their own, each face displaying a "six".

In Endlers, this is an ominous symbol.

Sure enough, the moment the number six appeared, Ria saw a door appear out of thin air in the space she was in. Immediately afterwards, overwhelming evil energy emanated from it, even corroding the simulated walls around her.

The presence behind the door made Ria feel quite threatened.

"What a huge grievance, teacher."

He stared coldly at the wriggling feathers behind the door, from which lay hidden deep blue eyes, and beside those eyes, countless mouths filled with sharp teeth, opening and closing.

Ria probably expected that her mentor's body would recover and that he would come looking for her, but she didn't expect that He would be able to find her here and that the two of them would meet in this way.

Good and evil, the two mythical creature forms of the mentor are completely different. If the brain side is a pure idealistic angel, then the mentor's evil side is more like a nightmare of countless evil spirits twisted and stitched together in purgatory.

Regardless of the type, none of them are aesthetically pleasing or acceptable to humans, which is a common characteristic of many mythical creatures.

"What is the purpose of your visit?"

Lia set up a table and chairs on the spot, poured herself a steaming cup of black tea, and at the same time, the teapot on the table floated up by itself, pouring an identical cup of tea on the other side of the table, with the two cups being exactly the same size.

"If you don't mind, we can sit down and have a good chat, reminiscing about our teacher-student relationship?"

As she spoke, Lia gently blew on the steam rising from the black tea beside her. These teas were of the finest variety, and were known outside as being worth an ounce of gold for every ounce of tea.

The tea's color and aroma were very enticing, which was enough to show the host's determination to entertain distinguished guests.

However, the next second, just as Ria brought the silver cup to his lips to take a sip, the teacup in his hand and the teacup on the table suddenly shattered, the sharp shards flying straight at him, only to hover just an inch in front of his skin.

Those unknown things, the tea automatically solidified into a barrier to block the attack, and Ria opened her eyes, golden light flashing in her eyes, her pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

"It seems you don't like black tea; that was something I didn't consider."

Do you prefer alcohol?

Useless things

The creature outside the door opened and closed its mouth, uttering angry mutterings.

With your abilities, you should have wiped out the entire Church of the Rising Sun long ago, and instead fought with those brainless bastards for faith, making sure everyone could only see yourself.

[But what are you doing now? Acting as a lackey of the Rising Sun, instigating war, and then profiting from it?]

What other pointless things are you planning to do next? Are you planning to bribe high-ranking officials to secure your eligibility for parliamentary election?

Hearing the words spoken by the person outside the door, Ria couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, teacher, I really miss your tone. Maybe in this world, only you would call me a useless thing."

“I remember when we had only known each other for a short time, you often called me that.”

Lia was referring to the original owner's memories. Since her mentor didn't like black tea, Lia could only remove the tea table, completely unaffected by her mentor's words.

He had his own plans, and even his mentor couldn't change his mind, let alone the creature in front of him who wasn't a complete mentor.

Now that He had awakened, Ria secretly sent His coordinates to Ivand in Cranbea to ensure that the Black Mentor could be found immediately no matter where he went. “Teacher, you who directly destroyed the church seem to have no right to judge me. Harming those civilians is pointless. You should use your power for good.”

Are you lecturing me?

"No, no, it's just that there are many of my followers in those churches, and it would be difficult for me if you killed them."

"By the way, there's also an avatar of Hephaestus inside. He's almost become a holy son there."

Ivand fell silent, while Ria took the opportunity to rebuild a table on the spot, smiling as she looked at the creature behind the door.

That thing is a mythical creature, a curse of Yog-Sothoth. If He so desires, He can strip away all truth, and He can also directly stuff knowledge into a person's brain, causing the person's brain to explode on the spot.

So while the other party is still here and hasn't caused any trouble, Ria should maximize its own interests.

"How about we make a deal, my dear teacher?"

What are you trying to do now? This time you actually dared to target me!

"I just want to play a few very simple games with you."

With a wave of his hand, a miniature model appeared on the table in front of Ria, and the model was clearly the town of Cardanon.

He held up the model, and a new model appeared on the table, this time a complete three-dimensional world map.

Now, Ria zooms in on the world map, finds the Endlers region, places the town's model into it, and a new die appears in her hand.

He threw the dice, and after a few "clinks," the number finally settled on 6.

“We each choose an opposing force to see who will ultimately win. The winner can take all the knowledge from the loser, while the loser will never be able to recover the knowledge they lost—isn't this a sure-fire deal for you?”

Ria glanced at the die: "Without a brain, you shouldn't have any knowledge at all."

"If you ultimately win, I will become completely insane, and the vessel of my divinity will become a puppet, utterly harmless and at your mercy. Isn't that a worthwhile trade?"

How insidious!

Countless tentacles surged out from behind the door, quickly transforming into human form and standing opposite Ria: "Your cunning is exactly like that of the lurking chaos. Could it be that you're stalling for time, waiting for my other half to arrive and devour me?"

Do you think you'll lose?

Ria countered with a question.

“Noble people always cherish their reputation and are hesitant to act, afraid to unleash their full potential, because they have many concerns. But you are different.”

"Judging from your previous actions in destroying the church, you have absolutely no reason to fear the other mentor. He is cowardly, hypocritical, and arrogant, while your power has shown me what unimaginable strength is!"

"Teacher, I really want to witness your full power. Compared to those sickeningly white angels, I have much more faith in you—"

"Let me witness it."
