They all call me an Outer God.

1.5 billion is too high a price.

Nobody's money grows on trees. There's no need to go bankrupt over a single superhuman. Perhaps they can find other superhumans elsewhere. There's no need to hang themselves on one tree...

Just as everyone was thinking this, the child on the stage suddenly spoke up: "Thirty billion gold coins, that's my offer."

He was fine when he didn't speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone stared intently at the goods on the stage. Some mocked, some were surprised, and some planned to continue to hide in the shadows and watch the show.

Lia looked calmly at the person who offered 1.5 billion, and said indifferently, "Your bid is too low. You can't buy a superhuman at such a low price. The lowest starting bid I can give is 3 billion. Anyone who bids below that will be considered a penniless pauper."

In fact, even Lia couldn't afford that price, but he never denied that he was poor. He was much easier to ask others for money than for himself.

"Poor...poor wretch!?"

Who is the poor guy who offered 1.5 billion?
Everyone was stunned. It was 1.5 billion! Gold! The highest bid was belittled by the goods, and the highest bidder was also belittled as a pauper.

To mock someone as a pauper is to imply that everyone else is even worse off than a pauper.

Just as everyone was still discussing the matter, and the person who offered the highest price was so angry that he was about to slam his fist on the table, Lia continued to give the other person a very bright smile.

He slowly raised his hand, revealing a short knife. The girl beside him was immediately shocked. She searched her entire body but had no idea when her knife had ended up on the goods in the cage.

The man gently stroked the surface of the blade with his fingers: "Have you misunderstood something?"

“The cages do not hold goods for you to choose from, but rather demons that can kill you at any time.”

"For example, right now, the gentleman who offered 1.5 billion, your price is slightly tempting to me. If I agree to the contract between us, the following scenario will occur."

As he spoke, Ria made a heavy slash across the blade with her finger. The person who had bid the most in the audience suddenly felt a sharp pain in their index finger. They cried out in alarm and looked at the wound on their finger that had almost severed the bone.

However, while Lia's injuries could heal slowly, his could not.

"Hahahaha—" Ria was in a very good mood. He understood what the abilities of the body he was currently in were.

Shared senses.

You establish connections with people and then exchange wounds for something of equal value. Unfortunately, you can heal yourself slowly, but the person who was hurt cannot.

In a sense, this ability is quite extreme and terrifying, so terrifying that it surprised and delighted Liya.

“You may think I’m willful and audacious, but that’s my privilege.”

Lia said, "It's not you who are choosing me, but me who is choosing you. Here, I am the businessman."

"Do you understand, you fools? Anyone bidding less than three billion gold, I advise you to get out of my sight within a minute, or you might just see your own neck snap..."

Ria was just trying to scare them. Meme Nine's abilities weren't enough to bring him back from the neck. If his head were cut off, it would take him about three months to recover, even if he didn't die.

During this time, those people could tear themselves to pieces hundreds of times.

"Sizzle, sizzle!"

During this time, Ria kept inflicting wounds on herself, and blood kept gushing from the buyer's body. Ria did not intend to let him go until he begged for mercy.

Of course, others would also be randomly treated by the goods in the cage. Just as Ria was having a good time, the cage that trapped him suddenly emitted a dim halo, and Ria found that he could not use any of his abilities.

This cage is probably some kind of mysterious artifact used to imprison extraordinary beings. As for why it couldn't be activated just now, it's likely that activating it requires some kind of price. Ria's actions certainly increased his value, and the person in charge behind him was probably happy to see this happen, so they didn't stop him.

"what!!!"

The person in the cage convulsed in pain, collapsing and struggling, while the audience fell silent again, not because they were frightened by the scene, but because at that moment, a person sitting at the back of the sales floor silently raised their price tag.

"I'll buy it for three billion gold coins."

Crazy, really crazy.

This was the consensus among everyone: only a madman would spend such a high price to buy a time bomb. This auction had far surpassed previous ones. While everyone else remained silent, the bidders in the audience silently applauded.

“Your performance was outstanding, child. Those people only know that superhumans are valuable, but they don’t know that the meme abilities of each superhuman are also divided into different levels.”

“Your abilities certainly justify such a price, and how did you know that this is all the money I brought today? Less than a svald is too little, more than a svald is not enough.”

A middle-aged man dressed impeccably stood up from below the stage and slowly walked towards it. His hair was already somewhat gray, and he had a stubble beard around his chin. His green eyes did not appear oppressive when he stared at people; instead, they seemed rather kind.

“My child, I like you very much, so I plan to hire you at a high price to become my successor.”

The man used the word "hire" rather than "purchase".

"Whether you had a name before or not, I will name you now."

"From now on, your name will be..."

Sofia Miller.

……

[Champions +3000000000]

In just a short while, Ria had acquired three billion in chips, and he also found himself kicked out of the Sloth Gate and now standing outside.

The endless staircase reappeared before them, and Cradden waited anxiously there. When he saw Ria, he almost cried with excitement.

"Lord Kelcha, oh my god, I thought it was you—"

"What do you think I am?"

Lia found it funny.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Your safety is the most important thing. So, what did you gain this time?"

"Achieve a lot."

Ria wasn't lying; ever since he heard that name, everything that had happened before suddenly made sense.

Sofia Miller, leader of the Black Hand, and owner of this Sin Tower.

These seven original sins seem to be seven memories belonging to Sofia, and what Ria does in them does not affect the true direction of the story.

Revealing one's memories to others is no less than revealing one's weaknesses, unless that person is confident enough to stand up to anyone, or if those memories are tainted by something.
