They all call me an Outer God.

"Hiss!" Sofia immediately covered her head, and for a moment she actually had the idea of ​​entrusting everything to Yuria, which was utterly absurd.

Demanding money from black market dealers is tantamount to taking their lives; doing so could cause irreversible meme contamination.

However, he now genuinely felt the urge to surrender everything, and this did not trigger any backlash from the main meme.

I just inexplicably feel that money isn't actually that important.

"you--"

In her confused state, Sofia suddenly looked at Ria, who smiled and brought up her own financial panel.

[Funds received: 5,576,328,293]

A long string of bright red numbers appeared before Sofia, and she discovered that her funds had been completely wiped out.

"how did you do it?"

Sofia found it utterly absurd. There was no way he would willingly hand over all his savings without asking for anything in return. Even when he was under control, few black market dealers would risk their lives to do so.

But the problem is that Ria did it. Not only did she do it, but she also made Sofia think that all the previous efforts didn't matter, that money wasn't that important, and that giving it away was fine.

"So you also know that this is very harmful to the main meme."

Ria sat down on the other side of the sofa: "During the Gluttony Gate incident, what I experienced was no less than being slowly tortured for my master meme, but I still survived and overcame my corrupted instincts."

"If I think about it carefully, why should I follow those meme regulations?"

The true master of the divine status he occupies is the creator who created all memes.

Given this, it's reasonable for me to have some small privileges.

During the ascension from Meme 3 to Meme 2, the pollution emitted was enough to make Claden say things like "I don't like money," which indirectly indicates that his divinity is awakening further, and his divine power can already influence reality through Ria.

While this is not a good thing in the long run... the Trade Lord's forced faith is useful, but it cannot force targets with high meme levels to completely abandon the master meme.

Lia once joked with someone that a black-hearted businessman who doesn't love money is no different from an idiot, and now her words have come true.

Isn't the essence of blind foolishness simply idiocy?

"It seems I do have some talent for prophecy. I might as well take the next step and become a prophet."

Lia chuckled inwardly, returning to reality. More than half of the 10 billion yuan had been secured, but obtaining the remaining portion within an hour would not be easy.

This ability is too taxing on mental energy. When used, it differs from the original exchange; this ability is purely plunder, eliminating the exchange step and distorting the opponent's meme characteristics.

In order to be able to fight Perlmand in the upcoming match, Ria must conserve his energy to maneuvering in the casino.

What are the terms of the bet?

he asks.

Instead, Sofia fired a bullet at him. Ria let the bullet pierce his head without even trying to stop it.

Then, the bullet exploded mid-air, blowing off half of the young man's face, but he seemed completely oblivious, continuing to wear a composed smile. Little Swarth stared at his face for a moment, then slowly transformed into tentacles and burrowed into it. It used its body to fill the gap, restoring its shape to what it had been a while ago, except now, more than ten golden eyes stared directly at Sofia from the dark gap, their gazes filled with murderous intent.

This image is simply like a demon.

What are the terms of the bet?

Ignoring her injuries, Ria patiently asked again. After a moment of silence, Sofia finally waved her hand, losing her mischievous pleasure in teasing Ria.

He turned and walked towards the inner part of the hall, gesturing for Ria to follow, and began to explain everything to her.

"Greed is a characteristic of gamblers."

"The rules of most casino games mean that the expected payout for participants is less than 1, so in the long run only the casino owners will win money and generate huge excess profits."

"Furthermore, casinos are mostly enclosed, with no direct view of the outside world. This dark and secluded design causes gamblers to lose their sense of time, which can easily lead to pathological gamblers, a belief that money is everything, an unstoppable unhealthy atmosphere, and serious social problems such as competition for casino profits and loan sharking groups."

What you need to do is profit from the gamblers, and even profit from the owners to become an owner yourself. And now, there's a crucial matter before us.”

"what?"

"There are only the two of us here, no other gamblers, because I have killed them all. The money you get from me is all the money you have, and it is also the greatest profit you can get behind the gate of greed."

Before you came here, I was kept here by Perlmand. It wouldn't be difficult for me to get all the money here, so why would I leave? I'm sure you know that.

"Congratulations, kid. Now you're trapped here with me. Since we're locked up anyway, why don't we gamble together?"

Sofia smiled at Ria, reached out and threw the cigarette butt into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it. Then he turned to look at Claden, who was trying to make himself as inconspicuous as possible.

“Ah, Clarden Besson, I remember you. I remember every single employee in my businesses.”

Ria: "Mr. Claden is a very interesting person, and I owe my presence here to him."

"Really? What did he say to you?"

Sofia's smile deepened, but Claden felt as if he were being stared at by a python, which was about to pounce and bite him to death.

He trembled, too afraid to recall the fragments of memory he had revealed about how many wives his boss had had.

In fact, he knows even more.

For example, those wives were all witches, allies recruited by the boss to conduct "human creation" experiments, but the children they conceived had no gender characteristics whatsoever, and it didn't matter whether they were raised as boys or girls.

The leader's plan to escape Perlmand using the new body undoubtedly failed. After Perlmand discovered Sophia's idea, he directly locked her up here, waiting for the advanced meme to temporarily serve as a sacrifice to the meme.

The rest was his deduction. After all, he had previously worked as an information broker, selling Sofia's information to the Order Association. It's just that those idiots were really unreliable, and even after so long, they hadn't posed the slightest threat to his business.

Claden was waiting for them to bring down Sofia so he could be recruited.

Instead, all they got was a member of the Order Association who had Sofia's connections, and they were working on the follow-up to Umbrella's protection.
