They all call me an Outer God.

"I don't really like your wording. In my opinion, the word 'hey' in this context is somewhat like a high-ranking person giving a reward to livestock."

Clearly, you don't see Him as an independent being; you still fear Him, because it would be incredibly easy for a meme-one angel to wreak havoc here, even though He's in poor condition right now.

"However, it would be very difficult to make you research fanatics understand what humanitarianism is."

Jack: "Thank you for your understanding."

Ria took the cold meat.

Why give Him raw flesh?

"Because in His current reaction to food, only raw meat with blood can arouse His interest. Ah, that is still too superficial. You can go and see the mentor for yourself, and then you will understand everything."

Before opening the door, Jack put on even thicker glasses, which could alter a person's perception so that they wouldn't go insane or die upon seeing polluting polymers beyond their comprehension.

Just as he was about to give a copy of that thing to Ria, Ria pushed open the door and went inside without even looking at it.

Immediately afterwards, he saw people coming and going, also wearing glasses and completely covered up. In front of them were several incredibly thick and huge transparent glass-like barriers, and behind the barriers, a humanoid mythical creature, hundreds of meters tall and covered in feathers, slime and eyeballs, swung its giant clock head and slammed it heavily against the barriers.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

"boom!!!!!"

Three layers of barriers shattered, and the fifteen layers of barriers developed cracks of varying sizes and degrees of damage. The shattered and damaged barriers were then replaced.

The monster behind the barrier was clearly in an abnormal state, but even so, its destructive power should not be underestimated.

Do you want knowledge?

I can tell you anything you want to know.

【…】

Do you want knowledge?!?

With the last sentence, He abruptly lowered his head and bent down, pointing the multiple eyes in the clock head at Ria. Ria glanced at the raw meat in his hand, threw it aside, and walked towards the barrier.

"Danger! Stay away!"

Someone exclaimed, but he ignored it. Instead, with a complicated expression, he placed one hand on the barrier, as if wondering if his mentor had the same thought process when he looked at him a few days ago as he did now.

"Mentor, how did you get into this state after just a few days? Did your two personalities ultimately choose to merge?"

At first, Ria didn't understand why his mentor had become like this, but the moment he got close to Him, he understood everything.

The angel could easily destroy all the barriers, but He suppressed His power and instead bound Himself here.

The mentor was incredibly clever; He harbored deep resentment towards the Order Society, yet He also knew how to use them against them.

Those instruments and drugs can help suppress the backlash from the evil side. If they are integrated with the evil side, not only can the power of the evil side be stripped away, but one's own consciousness can also be allowed to take the lead to the greatest extent.

However, their personality might become less approachable afterward.

Do you want knowledge?!?

The mythical creature questioned Ria again, its tone both manic and sinister.

Ria looked directly at Him without flinching and nodded: "I want to."

The mythical creature's tone softened somewhat, almost like a temptation.

I can tell you anything you want to know.

"What's the price?" [To become my...food]

Those many eyes narrowed, and they laughed hoarsely. If the target in front of them were not Lia but an ordinary person, he would have eagerly pointed his knife at him after hearing his first question, and then stabbed him uncontrollably.

Ultimately, they will look upon their bodies with pleasure, except for their heads, in pursuit of knowledge—

They all turned into mud.

[The question you just asked counts as a piece of knowledge; you can go die now.]

"Oh, is that so, mentor?"

Lia tilted her head slightly, her face still bearing a friendly smile: "Your answer just now can be considered a transaction."

Lia did not do anything to harm herself and remained standing there unharmed: "Trying to buy my life with a question is not enough."

“Mentor, you are still conscious and recognize me, right? Otherwise you wouldn’t have ignored the raw meat I just threw out and not even gave it a glance.”

"Hmm... let's chat for a while."

So everyone stared in disbelief as the previously ferocious angelic mythical creature now sat quietly in front of Ria, its eyes fixed entirely on the young man before it.

You are very smart.

"I know."

Lia showed absolutely no humility.

"As expected of you, Ria? Since you're so clever, why don't you guess why I summoned you here?"

"this is very simple."

Ria lowered her hand: "You chose to fight against the natural disaster, and for this you had to put aside your internal strife and merge your two personalities. The backlash that came with this could only be suppressed by the Order Association, because they have imprisoned you for countless years, and they should be the ones who know best how to suppress it."

We have all made sacrifices for a common enemy. I am about to leave Endlers. There must be something else you wanted to tell me, besides this matter, such as your impending return to slumber...

You even noticed that?

The mythical creature's humming voice seemed to have touched him somewhat.

"But your answer isn't enough, Ria. I brought you to the Order Association for more than just that... Look back at these people and tell me, do you trust them?"

Ria turned her head and saw that the men were fully armed and warily pointing their weapons at Ivand, while Dr. Jack silently raised his hands as Ria looked at him, as if to surrender.

He turned his head back without answering the question, but his mentor suddenly transmitted a voice into Ria's mind.

[You still possess the divine power of the Calamity Star. I don't object to your choice, but this action is far too dangerous. Even the mythical creature beside you cannot completely guarantee that the Calamity Star won't resurface within you someday.]

I don't know how He summoned the power of His original form, but before the Primal Awakening, this act was absolutely forbidden. He would be punished by the rules set by the Primal, but no one knows exactly what those punishments are.

Lia was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Therefore, you should learn to trust humans more. Although I used to hate them, now we are all in the same boat.

[Let them take over the authority to detect the power of the calamity star. If any problems arise, they will suppress them immediately—of course, the choice to do so is yours, and you can choose to refuse.]

“No.” Ria shook her head.

"I accept."
