They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 69 In the Name of Propagation
"It's really terrible. Is there anyone who can brush their teeth and remove the odor, so that they can be more hygienic? It's one thing for dogs on the street not to brush their teeth, but now even my fellow patients are like this."

Steyer couldn't stand the smell and quickly put his teeth away.

The wardrobe he was in was directly facing the window, giving Steyer the opportunity to observe the movement through the window to determine the werewolf's whereabouts, completely ignoring the possibility that the werewolf would go through the door.

"I made her so angry, if she really walked the door properly, she wouldn't be a proper beast."

Steyr planned to hide a little longer before leaving.

“Kelcha, make sure this guy doesn’t notice I’m here—wait, why am I mentioning Kelcha?”

"Forget it, it's better to ask a colleague than that unreliable Sun. He's so capable, he'll definitely have a way to resolve this crisis."

"Kelcha, above."

Steyer continued to peer through the gap in the wardrobe, patiently waiting for a full hour until his legs were numb, but there was still no movement outside.

So Steyer cautiously pushed open the cabinet door and tentatively went out. Half a minute later, there was still no sound outside the window except for the sound of rain. Satisfied, he turned around and walked towards the wooden door, intending to go to another room to take a look.

The floor of the room was covered in dust, indicating that the owner hadn't cleaned it in a long time. Steyr was also looking for a room with a bed, hoping to get a good night's sleep.

The next second, there was a noise behind him.

Steyr froze, and without thinking, pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger. His heart pounded as his eyes met the two crimson orbs of light.

"Bang, bang..."

His bullet stopped in mid-air, then fell straight to the ground without making a sound.

Steyr's pupils widened further: "You, you—"

……

"Ow!!!"

As soon as the sky began to lighten, Little Swarth emitted a piercing cry like an alarm clock, precisely waking its host.

Ria opened her eyes, and Little Swarth stopped chirping. He watched as his host got up, washed, and changed his clothes. Then he picked up the intercom by the bed again and asked the front desk for breakfast.

"Bang bang bang."

A moment later, there was a knock on the door of room 301.

A completely unfamiliar woman stood in front of the door with a stiff smile. Beside her was a food cart with plates covered with food, but so far, the plates could no longer mask the fishy smell of the food.

Lia casually lifted the metal lid of the dish, and her eyes met those of a live, big-headed fish inside.

Lia put the lid back on.

He sighed, raised his cane, and plunged it into the woman's throat under her bewildered gaze. He watched as she struggled, her body swelling and rapidly transforming into a gray fish-man.

"Your service is getting more and more perfunctory. Are you waiting for me to say that the fish is really fresh?"

As pupils appeared on Ria's body, and witnessed by them, Ria stuffed the plate, food, and even the food cart into the fish-man's abdomen, exchanging them for a large number of fish eggs.

Today is the last day of the death prophecy.

Ria had to begin his own operation. He had a lot to do, the first being to prepare enough merman slime for the sacrifice. Moreover, Ria had a terrible suspicion about the connection between the mermen and the townspeople.

"We can't delay any longer... I don't know if Steyr has dealt with the werewolf yet. Given his abilities, it's probably not going to work, but he can definitely annoy the werewolf."

After pondering all this, Ria turned and walked towards 302, pushing open his neighbor's door. To his surprise, the couple, covered in scales, lay on the ground with their abdomens ripped open. Many large-headed fish crawled around them and even on their bodies. Even so, the couple was still doing some indescribable things.

"..." The sticky water sounds and strange cries made Liya leave the room, covering her forehead, feeling that her eyes had been irreversibly contaminated.

Such things are common throughout Grani; the sea brings life, and the foundation of life is reproduction.

Whether it's cell division or cell combination, they bring about the birth of life. New life should be a beautiful and celebratory thing, but now, Ria feels that this town has completely degenerated into a wretched hell.

Fish are born and humans die in the cradle of the ocean.

A single sentence is insufficient to describe the current state of Grani.

Ria ran to the roof and looked at the sins that the heavy rain could not wash away. The number of fish increased dramatically. The originally normal humans laughed and did things that pleased them and pleased the gods. As more and more fish were born, they even began to eat the fish on the ground.

The instincts of living beings: reproduction, survival of the fittest... and then evolution.

People ate their own "children" and gradually grew into a different appearance. Fish fins appeared on their backs, and their bodies swelled up. Eventually, they became creatures exactly like the sea people.

Rather, they are now the sea people.

Those sea people were once humans!
"That's ridiculous."

Ria looked up at the phantom in the sky, where the black waves continued to swirl with the wind, and standing on the rooftop, he felt an endless sense of bewilderment.

He's normal here.

He is the most abnormal one here.

He had lost all sense of which side was normal; a voice in his mind kept whispering, trying to assimilate him.

They are saying, join in this celebratory revelry, for the birth of life itself is a miracle.

Life comes from the ocean, and it should return to the ocean.

Join us, embrace...us

"It's clearly just a phantom of a dead abyss, yet it can influence people to this extent."

Ria brushed off the scales from her body and returned to her room. She immediately hatched all the fish eggs in her hand, watched them pile up in the hallway, and then crawled out of the hotel.

"Praise the radiant rising sun."

Ria silently recited the words to herself, and as the rain gradually subsided, she went out, avoiding all the fish on the road, and headed towards the Church of the Sun.

He now understood why the sun loathed the abyss so much; such an existence could not be touched at all, for even the slightest contact would plunge one into the abyss.

"The fishmen I've killed were all human. That's the truth. That's what the werewolf wants to tell me."

"...Unfortunately, you miscalculated."

One werewolf thought he would have a mental breakdown at this moment, but Ria did not.

As long as you see everything as false and keep hypnotizing yourself, you will not suffer any spiritual pollution.

This should have been impossible, but Ria managed to do it.

The radiant sun gave him the right to dream, allowing him to see his past life in his dreams at night and live there.

Unlike here, his family and friends are there.
