They all call me an Outer God.

……

Prepare well, this is your last performance.

In the desolate and empty place, the chaotic soul transformed into musicians, and the noisy flute music soothed the primordial ruler in his eternal slumber.

They are blind, foolish rulers, and the corrupting power contained in their flute music is enough to plunge all life into the most extreme and pure madness, and then turn into blood, drifting in the place of chaos. The power of their flute music is incomparable to those that Ria has heard so far.

Therefore, they are also the loyal guards of the Temple where the Primordial Sovereign sleeps.

Countdown—

There are 20 days left until the end of the world.

The flute players observed that the once calm surface of the Judgment Star "Gherus" was collapsing and indenting inward at a speed of fifteen miles per cosmic hour.

The anomaly produced by this peculiar celestial body immediately drew attention from many parties, and the Piper, who had observed the phenomenon, soon made a new discovery.

The Star of Judgment is not only collapsing inward, but it is also emitting infrasound waves with extremely low frequency and a certain rhythm as it collapses, and it is constantly moving from the original slumbering palace as its source.

If left unchecked, the Judgment Star could very well collide with the Primordial within twenty days.

Even more bizarrely, this action was not entirely of the will of the Judgment Star itself. As the core of the universe, the Primal is orchestrating the compression of the entire universe from its slumbering state.

If no one stops him, he will completely compress and devour all the universes within himself, and then ascend to meme zero on his own.

He shouldn't possess consciousness right now.

The flute players gathered outside the palace, whispering amongst themselves.

The terror lies precisely in its lack of consciousness, for this means that everything it does now stems from biological instinct; it instinctively seeks "evolution."

Can't we stop it?

【cannot】

[His original power will increase as he grows stronger in the dream world. Although he is currently only a meme, we are still no match for him.]

If we intervene, there are only two possible outcomes.

We joined forces to seal the primordial entity, but the primordial being was awakened, and the world perished.

We joined forces to stop the calamity, but it self-destructed prematurely, its original form awakened, and the world perished.

A group of pipers gathered in the chaos and discussed the matter, but only a small part of them participated in the discussion. Some of them believed that the restart of the universe had nothing to do with the three gods, so it was none of their business.

These pipers, who played idly all day, were more bored with their monotonous work than they were eager to witness the highest level of chaos.

I've figured out a new piece of sheet music today! Listen to it and see if it sounds better than the last one!

【…】

Why did you die before you finished listening?

The many pipers grew increasingly impatient with their monotonous lives. Finally, after rounds of discussion, they devised a plan that was unanimously approved by everyone and would not easily awaken the Primordial One.

That is to distort the orbits of stars, deceive Geherus, make Him think He is crashing into Azathoth, and actually lead Him completely into a dream, causing Him to crash into the blue planet.

Since the primordial consciousness also exists on Earth, colliding with its consciousness is far better than colliding with its physical form. [Although this action could very easily lead to the primordial consciousness awakening, it can buy considerable time.]

We are truly geniuses; the title of the god of wisdom should be bestowed upon us.

I should be the one to navigate the chaos.

……

On the open ocean, surging, dark waves relentlessly battered the sailboat, rocking it from side to side as if it were in imminent danger of sinking.

Below the ship, an enormous black shadow was rising from the abyss, its two scarlet pupils flashing like giant lamps, making the sailboat appear even smaller, like a speck of dust.

But the man on the ship, standing at the side of the vessel, witnessed all of this without changing his expression. Even as the dark figure burst out of the sea amidst the raging waves and storm, the man remained unmoved, even showing a hint of disgust.

“If you ever show your ugly, mudfish form to me again, I will kill you, Natius.”

The speaker was Sodrius, who had to travel to the open ocean with Natius to investigate the recent anomalies on the sea surface, and also to search for the traces of the sealed ancient gods.

Natius was in charge of exploring the deep sea, but he always liked to dive down in the form of a mythical creature, and he also liked to suddenly capsize Sodrius's ship, even though he knew he hated water.

Looking at His true form, Sodris could only recall the ugly state of Natius in the past. Back then, He firmly believed that He could evolve into a true dragon. But even though He did eventually do so, this dragon was far less divine and majestic than the dragons of old mythology. Instead, it looked quite terrifying.

"Don't get so angry, Professor. You're on my crew now. Observing sea level anomalies is your main objective."

"If you don't keep bobbing around on the surface of the sea, I can observe more accurately."

Sodris said irritably, and Natius was about to retort, but suddenly, both of them stopped what they were doing and looked up at the clouds, as if their vision could bypass the clouds and peer into the stars.

Natius: "Did you... hear anything just now?"

"...0.073 Hz infrasound, like a song."

"The sound came from outer space, conservatively estimated to be 7.85 million light-years away from us."

"But it's not right to say it came from 7.85 million years ago. This sound is clearly a provocation that was transmitted to the minds of all life at the same time."

Their gazes grew increasingly wary, and there was probably only one remaining possibility for an individual who could announce the death of all life among the stars using special sound waves.

Geheros.

Sodris lowered his head, staring coldly at the horizon.

"Have you noticed that the sea level rose by a full three centimeters today? There is gravitational pull between celestial bodies, and something is about to crash into us."

"And you could guess what it is even with your feet..."

Natius growled unhappily, "Scoundrel."

"But that's not the most worrying thing. Remember, my true form is still being threatened by Him."

Sodris took a deep breath: "Although I personally would never let the sun collide with Earth, the calamity star will definitely collide with the sun first. Once the sun is destroyed, the solar system will eventually be annihilated. Is this the so-called world-destroying plan that He has in mind?"

Natius: "The dinosaurs were destroyed by a planet back then, and after all that, they've come to this point. The way this jinx thinks is so simple it makes me laugh."

"Not necessarily. If I were Him, my plan would definitely be to crash into the Primordial Chaos first and then self-destruct. Since that plan failed... perhaps someone prompted the Calamity to change its course." (End of Chapter)
