They all call me an Outer God.

Everyone heard a deafening sound coming from the light that was no less than the explosion of a star. Then, a figure darted out from it at the speed of light, his eyes, filled with killing intent, locked onto the abyss itself.

He spoke the words of the past, and every word He uttered made the stars tremble. If the Sun Shining in the past blamed himself for the destruction of civilization, now He has completely transferred his hatred to the Lord of the Storm and the Abyss.

A storm from the sun has arrived.

Seeing this, Natius clapped his hands: "How about that? My efforts have been quite effective, haven't they? At least now He doesn't seem like a light bulb that's about to break down."

"..."

Looking at the radiant sun's furious expression, Ria couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for the Abyss.

What he struggled for so long and still couldn't fully achieve, the abyss accomplished with ease.

But what they were about to face was the Radiant Sun Consciousness, which was completely out of control. Under such extreme heat, even the most turbulent waves would be evaporated completely.

But the Abyss's current expression resembled that of a patient who had been abstaining from medication for a long time and was now highly excited. His mouth was widening, his heart was pounding, and he seemed to be excited about killing his enemy at any moment.

But Ria reminded Him that He must not kill Him.

"That's a pity."

In an instant, the Abyss's skin turned grayish-green. Ria saw that its size grew larger and larger, its mouth stretched to its ears, revealing sharp and bloody fangs, and countless dense, glowing tentacles grew from the back of its head.

He actually wanted to transform into the form of a mythical creature here!
As time passed, the sun's temperature rose higher and higher, but the abyss remained unaffected. Its body was covered in scales, and the sharp horns on its head and the wildly flailing, tentacle-like hairs behind its head made Ria realize what she was seeing—

That creature...

Dragon.

Unlike Shwarth, the dragon was grayish-green all over, with a slender body like a snake, sharp claws and teeth as red as blood, and a head that was somewhat shark-like in shape. Two whisker-like tentacles grew out from around its nose and danced wildly as its body changed shape.

The form of the abyss dragon is more in line with the dragons that Ria knew in the old kingdom.

"Could it be that the dragon is one of the highest forms of life evolution?"

Lia recalled seeing Bai Wentao in the past, when he acted like a shark.

But even if its appearance is consistent with the mythical dragon, this mythical creature born of pollution is still violent and rampant. Facing the enemy that emitted a bright light, it opened its long mouth wide and swallowed the sun into its mouth like a dragon playing with a pearl.

This audacious act made everyone break out in a cold sweat. What would happen if you swallowed the sun?
Seemingly sensing everyone's doubts, the dragon let out a painful roar the next second. It rolled its body among the stars, and even the gaps in its scales showed a striking light, as if the lines were plated with a layer of gold edges.

"Roar!!!!!"

The dragon shook its head menacingly. At that moment, the temperature of some parts of the world's oceans changed drastically. The marine life no longer cared about their own safety and all rushed to the shore. Under the scorching sun, the seawater even began to boil.

But the strange phenomenon didn't last long. Soon, layers of ice condensed on the surface of the abyss dragon's body, sealing itself along with the radiant sun it had swallowed.

Before the last layer of ice froze its own head, the abyss cast its gaze upon Ria.

Sodris has acknowledged your qualifications as His angel. Now, you can proceed on your own to achieve extraordinary ascension.

As for Him, I will find a way to deal with it. It will be much easier to reclaim the original body once He has settled down.

Ria looked at Him with gratitude: "Thank you for your help, but I'm still very curious, what exactly did you do when you went back in time?"

It's best not to ask.

This is a secret.

After Natius finished speaking, his body was completely sealed in ice, and then he turned into stars and disappeared little by little.

As Ria watched Natius leave, at the last moment, he turned to look at the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

“The four of you might as well keep an eye on Him. I’m worried that the sun might meet with misfortune if it falls into the hands of the abyss. If you find any problems, come and report to me immediately.”

"Yes."

The four knights immediately bowed to Lia.

They had previously lost their minds and were manipulated by Geherus. If it weren't for Ria, they probably would never have found themselves again in this lifetime.

Leah mercifully took away their authority, but did not erase their souls. He even allowed them to reunite with Sodris. For this reason alone, they would fight to the death to serve Leah.

The words of Leah are their guiding light.

"Praise to you!"

"No need to be so polite. After all, I am now a member of the Sun's family, and I am considered to be in the same profession as you."

Lia smiled as she watched them transform into four stars and disappear.

Sodris's dream naturally collapsed after losing Sodris, and Ria was well aware that it was time for her to wake up.

He has now received permission from the true radiant rising sun to ascend as His angel, which is not bad at all; everything is as he expected.

He was somewhat surprised that he was the original self, and that he only had meme 2. The gods would actually fear someone who only had meme 2.

Once he advances to the next level, will his physical body also undergo new changes?

Ariel was curious, and he was full of interest and anticipation for what would happen next. So he closed his eyes and left Sodris's dream.

When he opened his eyes again, that was the true beginning of his angelic performance.

"It was... a rather short yet long dream."

……

Ria woke up.

Ria found that her body seemed to be experiencing some unexpected problems again.

In the room filled with black mist, the young man regained consciousness and tried to reach for his glasses on the bedside table, but he suddenly realized that his hand seemed to be much shorter and that it was noticeably stiff when he moved it.

"Hmm, I had my leg amputated?"

This idea was immediately rejected by Ria.

He saw the black mist slowly dissipate, eventually transforming into the form of Little Swarth, who looked at him with complicated eyes. Ria also noticed that Little Swarth seemed to have become a little... too big.

Wait a minute, something does seem off.

Ria conjured a mirror in front of her, and looking at herself in the mirror, she finally couldn't help but gasp.

He... became a ball.

It has no eyes, no limbs, and is like a pure gray sphere that can be molded into any shape at will, as simple as the initial model in modeling software.

But Ria tried to revert to human form, but failed. Suddenly, he opened a golden eye on the gray ball and stared blankly at Little Swarth. Little Swarth also stared blankly at him, even trying to poke Ria with his paw, watching him roll to the side.

"Goo!"

Little Swarth quickly held Ria down before he hit the ground, and then the four-clawed owl spread its wings, flew to the door, opened it with its tentacles, and rushed out.

Not long after, Ria heard it barking angrily outside the door. The barking grew closer and closer, and the person who came in with it was Tabalf.

Tabalf was still holding a flute, which proved that Ria had not slept for very long.

After calling Him into the room, Little Swarth landed next to Ria and pointed at Ria, clearly wanting to ask him what was wrong. It knew that Ria wasn't the type to like turning into a ball, so something must have happened.

After witnessing Ria's current appearance, Tabalf was also very curious and went forward to observe him. He even took out a magnifying glass and examined him from multiple angles as meticulously as a doctor, and finally came to a conclusion.

"You may be about to emerge from your cocoon."

"Cocooning?" Ria's pupils contracted slightly, as if she couldn't understand why a perfectly normal person like herself would need to cocoon.

"From ordinary life to angels who touch the divine, it is a miraculous metamorphosis, as complex as the metamorphosis of insects."

“You don’t need to worry about this, because it’s a good thing. Although I don’t know exactly what you experienced in your dream of the radiant sunrise, this phenomenon is a sign of being recognized by the supernatural.”

Tabalf's expression was gentle, and he seemed genuinely happy for Ria.

"The Extraordinary has recognized your qualifications for promotion to angel. You will ascend to heaven in the near future and become a true archangel of memes."

"But my performance has not really begun yet."

Ria thought for a moment. He was going to perform the prophet's meme, and just spending a short time in the dream world had accelerated the performance by more than half. This was probably because the extraordinary also recognized the saying "The past is me, the present is me, and the future is me".

He can manipulate the past and the present, so what about the future?

Ria has temporarily returned to human form, so will she use this ball-like form to portray the prophet?

"This is no ordinary gray ball."

Tabalf reiterated, as Koria clearly saw that He was suppressing a laugh: "This is unlike your usual demeanor; this is the true larva of a mythical creature that has touched upon higher dimensions."

"I suggest you create a form that you like, as this will determine how your mythical creature form will grow in the future."

After saying this, Tabalf claimed he had some important matters to attend to and left, while Ria remained on the bed, lost in thought.

He didn't care much about appearance, otherwise he wouldn't have sculpted all his creations into that shape.

The postures of mythical creatures are also related to Ria. He couldn't care less about them all by himself. He couldn't imagine what they should look like, so he just pinched them randomly and then threw them aside to let them develop freely like slime mold.

As for the specific appearance of his new mythical creature form, Ria thought his previous appearance was quite good, with tentacles, eyes, and sharp teeth mixed together, plus skeletal limbs, making him look terrifying enough.

“Mythical creatures don’t need to be aesthetically pleasing. I usually appear in human form. Since I’ve been forced to take that form, the most important thing is to be absolutely intimidating.”

If he could, he wished his mythical creature form could have a larger, more terrifying body, and be subject to even more irresistible supernatural contamination.

He could have more eyes, more tentacles...

Aesthetically speaking, Ria seems to be beyond redemption, but Ria doesn't care about that. After he planned out his future direction, his gray ball-like body began to twist.

He discovered that he could transform into a form composed of tentacles.

Feeling quite curious, Ria tried to move in this new form, and little Swarth saw a gray clump of tentacles crawling all over the bed. As it crawled, tentacles would fall off, and when the fallen tentacles realized they had fallen behind, they would chase after it like snakes and reattach themselves to the main body.

This scene was extremely terrifying. If the larvae of the mythical creatures of Meme 2 appeared in front of ordinary people without any measures, their extraordinary pollution alone would cause them to faint or die on the spot.

Moreover, this is just a primordial larva.

A posture that has never been shown before in history.

The tentacles crawled to the edge of the bed, then turned to look at the little Swarth who had been following him.

"I think I already know how to proceed."

"Goo?"

Little Swarth tilted his head.

"What is something that existed in the past, exists now, and will exist in the future?"

"Goo!" Little Swarth raised his paw to answer.

It is Ria.

"puff……"

Ria couldn't help but chuckle, then shook his head, though it looked more like he was shaking his whole body.

Next, he turned around completely like a learned scholar and began to explain to his creation. The scholar stared straight at little Swarth against the light from the window, and the color emanating from his pupils was even brighter than the light itself.

"It's desire," the scholar stated bluntly.

"After experiencing so much, I've come to realize that the desires of life are an insatiable chasm, but these desires are confined to one's knowledge and experience, and people cannot pursue things they have never seen or heard of before."

It's like when the end of the world comes, people's desire is to live, but when I satisfy that desire and give them a second life, these people will develop new desires.

They wanted rights, freedom from any constraints, and even an unquestioning hatred for the very primal forces that sought to bestow these upon the new humankind.

Ria's voice was a little hoarse: "Looking at them, I wondered if the new humans would make the same choice, and what would happen if a person's desires were constantly satisfied."

"So I started thinking about how to perform my prophet meme next."

He closed his eyes, and the color of his body gradually changed: "My mythical creature form represents desire itself. I represent trade (transaction). As long as you pay enough, I can fulfill all their desires."

"Next, I will witness and personally participate in every stage of the trade process, until the cocoon emerges and I am reborn from it."

"I'll have to trouble you during this time, Schwarz."

As Lia spoke, her body underwent a complete transformation.

"I believe you."

His original body disappeared, and in its place lay a golden object lying motionless on the bed.

This is a gold coin.
