They all call me an Outer God.

After all that, it turned out that the woman had added the functions of laying eggs and giving birth to newborns to Him.

"Believers of the Mother Goddess..."

Saller was furious, but the relentless attacks from the other side left him no time to confront Lilith, so he turned his anger on the mythical creature before him.

【■■■！ I■you■！】

Saler used his tentacles to wrap around the mythical creature's neck, tearing off its neck and wings. The creature swiftly extended its head to bite at Saler's body, accompanied by destructive chants as the heads opened their mouths. Saler felt his body gradually stiffen.

Do not listen to their voices.

Saler retreated swiftly, allowing his "offspring" to entangle the mythical creature more and more tightly, only to futilely transform into a golden sculpture that trapped the life within.

But things are far from that simple.

Salah soon discovered that the heads would devour gold, and the more they devoured, the more heads would grow from His body.

[This seems more complicated than I expected... Haha, this is interesting.]

"Keep going! May Mother Goddess protect you."

Lilith cheered for Saler from below, but had no intention of watching the whole thing unfold.

In an instant, He appeared on a relatively intact rooftop, looking up at the red moon displaying its rusty hue. No one knew what this angel was thinking at that moment.

In Lidsh, a withered little hand broke through the soil, then poked its nose out of the gap, greedily inhaling the surrounding air.

But it's less like air and more like people's fortune. Those whose fortune is drained will become increasingly poor, lose all their wealth, and eventually die a violent death on the street.

All this wealth will be transferred to the angel Alai, who will become increasingly wealthy, while the child in his true form will become smaller and smaller, increasingly shriveled.

Perhaps He was an adult before He became an angel.

Delicious...delicious...

Alai continued to take deep breaths, still not satisfied, as the vines grew increasingly unrestrained, piercing the flesh and blood of living beings and turning them into fruit on their own bodies.

Alai was such a greedy being. Unlike another angel, Julius, Alai was more adept at restraint, and very few people had the opportunity to see His true form.

The power of angels is not comparable. Many times, they are only one divine title away from becoming gods. Therefore, Alai always believed that he was the number one archangel below meme zero and did not take his companions seriously at all.

Naturally, He doesn't take anyone seriously.

He believed this until someone defecated in front of His exposed nose.

Until He watched the filth getting closer and closer to Him, until finally, with a "smack," it smeared all over His face.

It's still runny.

Alai immediately got angry. The person who was defecating casually grabbed a leaf from a nearby vine, wiped his butt on it, and then hid to the side with a smile. He looked like a child who was not even six years old.

"Excuse me, I thought this was the restroom."

"Actually, I didn't want to do this either. It would be beneath my dignity if others saw me like this. But thinking about it carefully, I'm using Hephaestus's body now, so it's none of my business if they lose their dignity."

The child was laughing very happily, but the only eye that was open was a sinister and ferocious eerie green snake eye.

"Aren't you right, you lackey of disaster..."

"Who are you?!" "Ah, you may not know me, but you must have heard my name before."

The snake's eyes widened for a moment and then contracted: "I am Hephaestus."

【…】

You're kidding me!

These days, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can pop up and call themselves Hephaestus, and it's hard to tell the real from the fake. Naturally, the reputation of the Hephaestus group has been ruined, and the worst part is that they themselves enjoy it and treat it all as amusement.

Alai was so angry that he wanted to burst out of the soil and cut the person who dared to disrespect him into a thousand pieces, but then he remembered that he was still covered in filth, so he had no choice but to reach out and peel off his own bloody skin to serve as nourishment for the vines, and then control the vines to pierce towards "Hephaestus".

As for Himself, as was customary, He burrowed into the soil, attempting to hide His true form.

Unfortunately, His plan failed. When He touched the soil, thousands upon thousands of snakes suddenly sprang out of it, hissing and opening their blood-red mouths at Him. The scales of the snakes rubbed against each other, making a sharp sound like foam board rubbing against glass.

Alai immediately emerged from the snake-infested soil, watching as "Hephaestus" crouched beside him grinned and licked its sharp teeth with its long, scarlet tongue.

"I hope you can let me have some fun, after all, it's not easy for an old snake like me to come out of its hole."

This is your own doing.

The two disliked each other and soon began to fight.

On the rooftop of a relatively intact building not far away, Ivand witnessed all of this, the wind blowing his hair and clothes, yet he stood firmly on his feet.

"If you live long enough, you'll see all sorts of things."

Ivand clutched his chest, trying his best to suppress the evil thoughts that arose from his hasty fusion with Black Ivand.

"The fact that the Hephaestus dared to lend their bodies to act as incarnations of the World Serpent shows that they too have begun to feel fear."

"What did you connect this to?" Black Yvand's consciousness asked.

"I'm wondering if this is also part of the calamity star's plan. He has always been a radical among the Outer Gods, wanting to awaken the Primordial One and lead everything toward destruction. For the sake of today's situation, He parasitized the Radiant Sun, bringing everything under His control, just waiting for the day when the divine consciousness with the [Black Merchant] as its main meme would come into contact with Him."

As expected of a meme representing the "prophet," this move was probably planned from the day of the last divine war, gradually eroding the gods while they slept.

Ultimately, those extraordinary individuals are truly pitiful.

Are you pitying yourself?

"I have no interest in becoming a god. Compared to them, I'm much luckier."

"But I want to be meme zero."

Upon hearing that his own dark side harbored such ambitions, Ivand could no longer contain his laughter. He was alone in the room, yet his behavior was as if he had suffered a split personality.

"You? You want to go against the door? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life."

I hate idiots. Normally I'd laugh at you for ages, but now's not the time for us to fight amongst ourselves.

Ivan closed his eyes, letting his body be scattered by the wind like a plate of sand.

"Now, it's time to properly guide our students who are feeling lost."
