They all call me an Outer God.

The cats' eyes are also made of special gemstone material, so no matter which angle you look at them from, you'll find that their pupils are facing you.

"The next section is the restricted book zone."

The cat suddenly spoke, then sprinted forward, as if a barrier had been suddenly broken through. The surrounding scenery changed, and countless books lay quietly atop towering bookshelves.

The cat-shaped stone statues have now transformed into living cats, leisurely roaming freely in the library.

Faced with this situation, Kanis simply explained, "They are all my followers. If you need any books, just tell them and they will help you find them as quickly as possible."

Where is the book about the chaos of subdued beings?

Instead of asking the cats, Ria directly addressed the Cat Goddess herself, whose tail wagged even more vigorously: "I don't know where you learned this name from, but I advise you not to be overly curious about her. Do you know how much trouble we've gotten because of her?"

"If you need information about Him, just look at Tabalf's history books. I don't recommend touching any other books."

What would happen if I touched it?

"It's not good, it will make you seem rebellious."

“Ha.” Ria chuckled, then followed Kanis’s directions to find the location where the Tabalf history books were kept, and began to carefully peruse them—

His eyes quickly scanned the text, taking in the key information.

This is a timeless and true story of royal secrets.

During the Fifth Dynasty, when humanity was still suffering from hunger and cold, a fire-bearer descended from the sky.

He brought new fire and hope, he brought order and peace, and the people willingly worshipped him as their leader, making him the first pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty, Tabalf I.

Three years later, He had a son, who was worshipped as the second Pharaoh. A tomb was built for the first Pharaoh, which is now the largest pyramid in Barkley.

Seventeen years later, His descendants also had descendants. According to custom, the descendants of His descendants ascended the throne. Tabalf III was more decisive and efficient than his predecessors. During his reign, he launched numerous wars, lived a life of extravagance, and was a tyrannical and incompetent ruler. He was later nailed to his death inside his tomb.

After the abdication of the third king, the first king was discovered to be active in his tomb by tomb robbers. He left the tomb, re-ascended the throne, and proclaimed himself Tabalf IV.

Not long after ascending the throne, the Fourth Emperor announced that he was pregnant with a son, who was named the Fifth Emperor. Legend has it that the Fifth Emperor was the son of a tomb robber and a pharaoh.

People began to notice something was wrong.

Ria also began to notice something was wrong.

He looked up, rubbing his head, and asked Kanis, somewhat bewildered, "Was Tabalf I a man or a woman?"

"What are you wondering about? Except for the VII, all the pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty were men."

Kanis squatted on the table and sensed that Ria seemed to have something to say, so she told him that he could speak his mind and not hold back.

Then He heard Ria speak: “Your history books seem to have no books.”

"?"

"nothing."

Lia continued reading.

The Sixth Pharaoh seized the Golden Throne through usurpation. In his view, the so-called kings of the past were simply a joke. So, the Sixth Pharaoh joined forces with the reactionaries inside and outside the city to completely murder the Fifth Pharaoh.

To prevent him from rising from the dead, his remains were pulverized and buried in different locations, including the throne. [However, those who plot for power will ultimately be punished by power itself. During the reign of the VI, he was corrupted by the supernatural and engaged in cannibalism. The reactionaries killed him, placed his sister on the throne, and then sidelined her, making her the VII.]

The Seventh Pharaoh was revered for her benevolence. As a female pharaoh, she loved her people like her own children and was extremely kind. However, her blood also contained corrupted desires.

Soon after, she became a fearsome ghoul queen because of her fondness for eating infant flesh, and was later tortured by scarab beetles and nailed to a coffin.

From then on, the hereditary system of Pharaohs ended, and an election system based on merit and ability was introduced. The previous Pharaohs became a nightmare that everyone avoided talking about.

Having read this far, Ria felt there was no need to continue reading, and he focused all his attention on the first through fifth pharaohs.

"The names of the one who lurks in chaos are not mentioned in historical records, but my intuition tells me that He is omnipresent..."

Take, for example, the first five pharaohs. Their style of doing things was very much in line with His, characterized by doing things their own way, acting irrationally and chaotically, almost like a huge prank.

King VI dismembered King V, and a portion of his body was buried in the Golden Throne, but Ria did not intend to use it as divination material to predict the Outer Gods.

That would be fatal. No prophet would do it, nor would any prophet dare to accomplish such a feat. Perhaps there were, but that prophet would surely turn into juice the moment he glimpsed the deity.

What Ria had to do was find that part of the body, communicate with His will, and find the key point in his role as a prophet. To do this, he had to inquire about the place where the radiant sun was trapped.

His ascension requires the recognition of the Lord's Meme; he needs the Radiant Sun to personally acknowledge his identity as an angel under His throne.

All of this was beyond Ria's ability to accomplish on his own; he needed Nyarlathotep's assistance. And all of this was the optimal solution that the future angelic avatars had told Ria.

“I have found the point where the bones are buried, but how do I summon Him next? I know nothing about the design of the sacrificial circle, the prayers, or the offerings.”

Offerings.

Celebration… …

A dark glint flashed in Ria's eyes as she thought of the word.

The things he had just considered were normal ways of praying to communicate between divinity and humanity, and also the best ways people could think of to contact the will of God.

However, if the methods used are extreme and significant, such as destroying the nation He once ruled, then He will have no choice but to turn his attention to this place.

Should I offer up the entire country as a sacrifice?

Lia pondered, slightly lost in thought.

This confusion did not stem from pity or reluctance, but from considering what to do if even sacrificing the entire nation could not summon His will.

It's not cost-effective.

Although it would not be difficult to facilitate these things if trade were used as a means.

Those angels might be the biggest obstacle, but according to Ria's observation, their true forms are hidden in the murals. After the murals are moved to the Dreamland, they will no longer be able to pose any threat to Ria for a short period of time.

Kanis, who was standing to the side, felt that the aura emanating from Ria, who was reading a book, was becoming increasingly ferocious and twisted, but she didn't know where this twisting came from.

He instinctively revealed a human-like look of disgust, frowned, and quietly retreated.
