They all call me an Outer God.

"Shh, don't say anything that has a bad influence."

A charming and intellectual woman lazily grasped a folding fan and tapped the mask of the fallen witch gently with the tip of the fan.

She has a graceful figure, wearing a Manchu dress that shows off her perfect body, her hair is tied up with a long hairpin, and every move she makes is full of charm.

Those eyes seemed to be able to capture souls, extremely alluring.

And if anyone is bewitched by such a beauty, they will find that the real body hidden behind her is a bloated humanoid monster covered with tentacles, which is completely contrary to "beauty". She loves to attract prey with her female figure and then suck out its brains.

Her name is the Swelling Daughter, one of the incarnations of the Crawling Chaos. She once represented the will of Nyarlathotep, but since Nyarlathotep fell asleep, those incarnations she once used have developed their own thoughts.

"It's been a long time since I've appeared in this form, and as soon as I appeared, I could see an angel. Is it possible that angels are allowed to walk freely in the world nowadays?"

He retracted the fan, then opened it again with a "rustling" sound to cover his face.

"Looking closely, it doesn't look like an angel... Even if a fake puppet is made exquisitely, it is still just a fake. Moreover, it has become a follower of that old woman whose mind is full of nothing but reproduction. I have to say, "He" is really not picky."

As the Swelling Girl spoke, Lilith's face behind the mask became paler with every word she said. Almost in an instant, she fled the scene, leaving the Swelling Girl there with nothing to do.

"You can't stand a few words, young people nowadays. But do you think you can get rid of me?"

"I am everywhere..."

He chuckled softly, then turned his head to look at Leah. After staring at her for a long time, the swollen girl showed an even more inexplicable smile: "I hope you like this."

Just after saying these words, his figure began to disintegrate. Thousands of Hephisgetus only summoned the other party's figure for more than a minute, and then they all died, not even qualified to serve as fuel.

The war around gradually subsided, the thick fog gradually dissipated, and only a few lonely figures remained on the sea.

Shival shrank again and stood on the host's shoulder. Riya stared at her hands, her mind full of doubts.

What does that mean? What does "I hope he likes this" mean?
This sentence sounded quite familiar, as if someone had said it a long time ago, but Riya had no impression of it at all.

Serge squatted not far from Ria and fished out the black gelatinous substance from the sea. It was the remains of the Hephisgetus, but now it was estimated that it could not even be called "wreckage".

He was probably feeling a little upset, so Riya took the initiative to talk to him, which was rare.

"Are you grieving the loss of your companion?"

"I just don't understand what we are doing and what the meaning of our lives is."

All of his kind pursued entertainment to death and took pleasure in teasing others and causing chaos. Only Serge was out of place among them, as awkward as a crested ibis mixed into a flock of ostriches.

He didn't understand the meaning of his existence, but Leah thought that perhaps for Nyarlathotep, the same old fun-loving clones were too boring, so he created a very serious individual and stuffed it among the others.

In a sense, Serge's existence is also a kind of fun.

"We tried every possible way to kill each other, even the original body, and kept increasing the number of our own kind, but all of this still could not escape the control of the original body."

"He is so scary..." Serge couldn't help but cover his head and repeated, "So scary."

Although he is already fast asleep, it seems like his presence can be seen everywhere.

Serge thought back to when he was little, when he had not been contaminated by the supernatural and was just a very normal child.

Then one day, when he was reading at home, he suddenly heard shouting outside. Serge rushed out the door and saw his childhood playmate grabbing him and crying, "Run! Run! The Sphinx is alive, and God is punishing us!"

Serge was puzzled: "What did we do wrong that He would punish us?"

"Does God need a reason to punish humans? Run!"

Young Serge was being pulled to run quickly. His parents were still at home. Originally, Serge thought it was ridiculous that the Sphinx could move, until the moment he glanced back, he saw the huge Sphinx raising its claws in this direction.

"Boom!!!"

His original house was trampled down, and Serge's eyes widened immediately: "Dad! Mom!"

The wind was very strong that day, and yellow sand was blowing everywhere. The streets were full of people, running wildly in one direction, crowding and stepping on each other.

His playmates stayed with him and moved around the crowd until they brought him to a safe place.

"Don't cry, no one wants to see this kind of thing."

That day, his playmates patted his shoulders gently. Serge's face was covered with sand, which mixed with tears, making him look particularly miserable.

"……Thank you."

Serge turned his head and wanted to thank his playmate, but at this moment he was stunned.

I saw that my playmate's face was blank.

Without any facial features, his facial features disappeared completely, but he was comforting Serge in a very gentle tone: "Why don't you speak?"

"Did you see anything..."

"my face?"

“There’s nothing wrong with my face.”

"You mean you didn't see the facial features?"

"..."

"What a hassle! Look, I used a knife to cut out the facial features. This is my eye, these are my two nostrils, and this is my mouth. I thought you liked smiling faces, so I cut a smiling face on it. Why don't you say anything? Don't you like it?"

The fear on Serge's face had reached its peak, but the other party smiled at him with that terrifying expression: "I thought you would like it, because I really like the expression on your face right now."

"Thank you for being my friend. To repay you, we resurrected the Sphinx and killed your annoying family. This way, you can be free... and stay with us forever."

As the playmates were talking, a large number of villagers appeared behind them. They were the ones who had just escaped together when the danger came. However, at this moment, this group of people approached Serge strangely with blank expressions on their faces.

Could it be that this group of people have been crowding around me since I was running for my life?!
"surprise!!!"

Everyone cheered towards Serge, seemingly enjoying the emotions he showed at that moment. His current mood made them quite satisfied.
