They all call me an Outer God.

Blair gestured for everyone to sit up straight, and they began to do so uncontrollably.

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am an arms dealer, and now I'm going to sell you my real, most perfect product."

At the mention of these things, Bryant became unusually excited: "You've come only for the money, unaware that you've overlooked something far more valuable than money—"

"An entire town of townspeople with extraordinary abilities and simple control can unleash destructive power dozens—even hundreds of times—greater than ordinary weapons with just a little manipulation. These priceless treasures are right in front of you, yet all you think about is coveting that simple wealth?"

Bryce extended his cane and used the end to lift one person's chin, forcing the person to look directly at him.

"One cannot be so short-sighted; that is not what a qualified businessman should do."

"Now that the gap has been opened, my customer base will only become wider. Of course, I am very happy and look forward to trading with all of them until all the finished products in Cardanon Town are sold... Hehehe, that well really helped me a lot."

……

[Triggering the quest: An outsider looked down on you and, taking advantage of your inattention, colluded with the townspeople to escape, also stealing their money.]

More and more people are noticing this strange town; it seems to be targeted by bandits, and robberies are frequent.

[Your mental state is on the verge of collapse, and you are powerless to stop it. The escalating chaos has attracted the attention of the Order Association.]

[Special condition triggered: Investigator has intervened in the investigation]

Black Yvand couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ria's hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly. Finally, he replaced the black tea with coffee and added two sugar cubes.

Now, when the cup is shaken again, you'll hear the sound of undissolved sugar cubes hitting the cup's walls.

Ivand: "The curse has already begun to spread, Kelcha. With your luck, you can't stop me."

Ria: "You are indeed remarkable. No wonder you are worthy of being called a 'mentor'."

"I, the student, am completely defeated."

On another black and white chessboard, the king silently changed his position.

……

“Does this really work?”

In the dimly lit room, several investigators looked at Blay with troubled expressions, while Blay spoke seriously.

"We don't have time."

"Think about the soldiers on the front lines. If we keep fighting like this, how many of us will be left? Sometimes, the enemy only needs to fire one artillery shell, and we will have to bear a price that we simply cannot afford."

"The townspeople here are all heroic spirits. It is unfortunate that they were resurrected and cursed to become extraordinary beings, but no one would refuse to be thrown into the battlefield in this form, because they have also suffered the persecution of war. A single shell destroyed everything they had."

“Homeland, family and friends... all of these are gone. No one can be without resentment and not be blinded by hatred. The will to take revenge is what they need, and it is because of this that they are able to be reborn.”

At this point, a ruthless glint appeared in Blair's eyes, but the investigators disagreed with his idea.

"There are no winners in war, and revenge is meaningless."

"It's meaningless, but what we need is the will to fight—if we don't resist, we will be annihilated. Isn't Enderus very familiar with this process?"

"Since we're going to fight..."

Bryant stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and slowly placed his hands together on his cane: "Then let's do whatever it takes."

"A soft-hearted person isn't suited for the battlefield; perhaps going home to farm would suit you better." "Tell me, do you want to go home and farm right now?"

Blair stared into the eyes of the investigator before him, whose expression hardened: "No!"

"what do you want to do?"

"Defend our dignity, defend the dignity of humanity, and drive those invaders and supernatural beings back to their homeland!"

"No, you're wrong."

Bly patted him on the shoulder, then raised his voice: "Come on, repeat after me—"

"Intruder, die!!!"

……

When the second seal was opened, I heard a second living creature say, “Come!”

Then another horse came out, and it was red.

He gave power to the horseman to take peace from the earth and to make people kill one another, and he also gave him a great sword.

Its name is "war".

As long as war continues, this knight will never perish. However, no matter how strong the knight was, at this moment, he was nothing but a mindless shell.

Any creature touched by Him or that touches Him becomes exceptionally warlike. A second, a third, a fourth time! Countless waves of extraordinary creatures surged from the seabed, attempting to reach the shore, while the knight stood firm on the waves, like a mirage.

Everyone had played their trump cards, and even with the deployment of some uncontrollable containment objects from the Order Association, they couldn't hold out for that long. The current battle was fierce and intense, making it impossible to defend against. And this was only the result of the War Knight losing consciousness.

If He still retained consciousness, and with Him as the commander, it remains to be seen how this battle would have turned out.

Endlers is not without means of self-defense. If the day truly comes when there is no way to retreat, Gaikoso's giant serpent will fully awaken. But when that day comes, the outcome will be no different from destruction.

"Sometimes I really envy people in the inland areas. They can eat, drink, and have fun without any worries and don't have to care about so many things."

An investigator standing on the front lines, gazing at the endless waves of extraordinary creatures, couldn't help but complain: "Are we going through all this just so those inlanders can eat and have fun?"

"Hey, I heard you."

Another investigator punched him hard: "I don't want to travel thousands of miles to the front lines to fight, only to listen to you slander people from the inland? You think you're so great just because you live by the sea?"

"Can't I even complain a little?"

"No! Many of us came from far away, and we've contributed to this moment. It hurts them to say that."

"We cannot rule out the existence of those who disregard our merits and consider us useless, but why should we care so much? Enderles needs us, so we stand up; humanity needs us, so we stand up."

"This is the Order Association, and this is the investigator."

"These are heroes! Hey, we're heroes! Don't you think we're absolutely awesome right now?"

The crowd formed a wall, just like the millions of people before, drawing their blades against the enemy.

However, the enemy seemed to arrive even more swiftly. An underwater earthquake struck, and lava spewed from the sea surface. In an instant, countless extraordinary creatures mixed with lava surged toward those people.
