They all call me an Outer God.

With a "thud," the black piece, which had been lying in wait, captured the white piece on the board. It fell heavily to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Lia wore an innocent expression: "Teacher, the victory is already decided."

"I'm so sorry, I think I won by accident."

There was nothing that could be done about it; no one would have expected that in the end, an external cheat would suddenly appear and devour the opposing king.

Ivand stared silently at the white pieces on the ground: "Your ambition is greater than I imagined. From the very beginning, you have been planning the course of the game. It seems that every step of your forbearance was for the purpose of breaking through the enemy's ultimate delusion in one fell swoop, just like now."

"Your chess style reflects your personality; I don't believe you didn't anticipate this move."

"You flatter me. I'll take this as a compliment on how well Schwarz and I are on the same wavelength."

Lia waved to put the game model away, but his movement suddenly froze and his expression became subtle.

He found himself trapped in place, unable to move, and at that moment, a pattern resembling a key and a door was inscribed on his shadow.

"What do you mean?"

"Kelcha, you're not a child anymore. You don't really believe that anyone in the world would sit down and play games with you."

“I have been seriously considering the issue we discussed not long ago. You were right before, I do need that divine spark. With the divine spark, I would have the possibility of advancing to Meme Zero.”

"As for you... although I don't want to hurt you, keeping you awake is not a wise choice."

Ivand walked behind Ria and conjured a jet-black blade.

"Next, I will seal you away, and your consciousness will fall into an endless dream, free from the troubles of reality. This is the last thing a teacher can do for a student..."

With a "thud," the sword blade, sharp as a knife, pierced through Ria's heart. Ria moved her gaze in disbelief, staring at the sword tip in front of her chest.

“He wouldn’t do that.”

"You mean that hypocritical Ivand? Don't worry, I'll send you to meet him next."

Dark runes rapidly extended outwards from the gap in Ria's heart, enveloping him like a black net. Just as Ria was about to lose all consciousness, a flash of white light appeared, and the runes were forcefully "shattered."

With a tearing sound, someone ripped open the space here, as easily as opening a soda can. Then, the person walked in, wearing a white mask. However, the mask was not blank. In the center of the mask, a huge golden vertical eye pattern ran through it from top to bottom.

"Oh dear, I found it! My luck has always been good, one shot and it's the perfect one."

"Rhine, now is not the time to be happy."

"Shouldn't we be happy? We're now one and a half Meme One angels ganging up on half a crippled angel. It'll be a piece of cake."

The two figures emerged completely from behind the door. The one following behind the young man named Rhine was dressed in blue-black gradient noble scholar's attire, and his appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

His dark blue-black clothes were as deep as the night sky, and the hem of his clothes fluttered with his movements, making him both mysterious and somewhat eerie. The exquisite tailoring outlined his tall and straight figure, and the collar and cuffs of his robes were cleverly decorated with gold threads.

What was even more striking was his long, silvery-white hair, which cascaded down his shoulders like a silver waterfall. Against this backdrop, his face appeared exceptionally clear. The man had a high, straight nose and tightly closed lips; simply standing there, he resembled a silent statue. The next second, he stretched out his left hand, tearing open another dimension and retrieving a long scythe from it.

"It's been a long time, my body."

The mentor greeted Black Yvand and then turned to look at Ria. In that instant, Ria saw him frown: "My student doesn't seem to be having much fun here with you."

"Unhappy? He had a lot of fun playing me for a fool. I never expected that this guy would say he would never bring you over, but then he sent you a signal."

"What, he complained to you? Are you going to get revenge for him?"

Black Yvand gripped his longsword, appearing unusually cautious in the presence of his mentor. He was not afraid to engage in a one-on-one duel with his other half, provided that no one else was present.

Now, the person next to the mentor gave Him an extremely ominous feeling. This person's aura was very familiar, but He had somehow lost all recollection of this person.

The only certainty is that the masked person accompanying the mentor is also an angel of meme one.

"Tattling? Are you kidding me? Ria is a good girl, she would never tattle. The fact that we're here now is just because we've located your coordinates..."

The mentor spoke slowly and deliberately, but Ria suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Teacher, it hurts so much... He keeps bullying me here and even tries to seal me away..."

"You!!!" Before Black Ivand could utter a second word, he was ambushed by Ria, who "never complains." In an instant, a blade powerful enough to tear through space and time arrived, forcing him to retreat and loosen his restraints on Ria.

At that moment, Ria grabbed the blade at his chest and pushed it backward with a sharp thud. The sword fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

He showed no signs of being in unbearable pain at all.

The mentor walked up to Ria and reached out to heal all his injuries. The consequences of a damaged consciousness are extremely serious.

The person before him dared to treat his student this way. Even though they both came from the same origin, the mentor would not forgive the behavior of his other self.

"You'd better pray to the door that you're tough enough. You know, without your brains, you're nothing."

The mentor's massive scythe blade sliced ​​across the ground without making a sound, cutting a huge gash in the incredibly hard ground as if it were cheese.

It's easy to imagine that if this thing were to cut into flesh and blood, it would be far more serious than just talk.

His killing intent was almost tangible, but Rhine pulled Ria to stand at a distance to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

When Ria looked at Him, he suddenly realized that the other seemed to be looking at him as well, his tone full of laughter.

"It's been a long time. I wonder if this busy man still remembers his old friend."

“You are…” Ria really couldn’t remember who this was, which might be related to her impaired consciousness.

"Let me give you a hint: when natural disasters are imminent and humanity is powerless to resist, we will have no choice but to step in from behind the scenes to salvage the situation."
