I created the Old Gods and Outer Gods in America.

Washington, D.C.

Inside a secluded basement.

"This poet?"

"No? You added me to a group chat for discussing classified information within your cabinet, and then told me I was suspected of leaking military secrets?"

"Is this something a human could come up with?"

Li Ming was completely numb. He was just an ordinary book collector who had just bought a copy of "The Necronomicon" and was on his way home when a knight of the apocalypse suddenly went crazy. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been transported to this world.

The inexplicable death had already caused Li Ming to lose his composure.

Who knew that something even more explosive would happen after I traveled through time?

The original owner was a reporter who, through years of hard work, got to know a high-ranking official. He originally wanted to get some first-hand news through the official and even started to fantasize about his future career. Who knew that one day the official would suddenly add him to a group.

Before they could even react to what was happening, the group chat had already started discussing military operations. Only after they finished talking did they realize that there was a complete stranger in the group.

Afterwards, the unlucky original owner, because he made the country's cabinet feel that they had lost face, was directly accused of being a spy and leaking military secrets, and was put on the wanted list.

It's hard to imagine that a country's cabinet would use a public chat application to discuss military secrets and even invite journalists into the group.

Let alone the original owner's grievances, even Li Ming was dumbfounded when he first transmigrated.

Why would a country's cabinet use a public chat application to discuss military operations? And why would they accidentally add the wrong person?

When Li Ming was a kid, he was much more serious when he discussed tactics while playing tag!

"Bang!"

Just then, a loud slamming sound came from upstairs.

Then a flurry of footsteps rushed into the room.

Li Ming sighed upon hearing the voice.

He had only been hiding in the basement for half a day when a group of people kicked down the door and searched the house, which hadn't been visited in years.

You don't even need to think to know what this group of people is here for.

Very good, I'm about to die again just a few minutes after I transmigrated here, achieving the legend of the fastest death.

The only regret is that I haven't read the books I bought before, and they cost me quite a bit of money.

The moment Li Ming had this thought, the world before him was instantly swallowed up by endless nothingness!

In this void, Li Ming saw a book that seemed to transcend time and space, appearing from the very end of all things through this endless void, and then appearing in his hands.

And this book was the Necronomicon he hadn't had a chance to read yet!

The moment he got his hands on the Necronomicon, a bizarre and indescribable sensation of distortion, coolness, chaos, and nothingness, mixed with complex information, surged into his brain along his fingertips.

Although the situation was sudden, Li Ming had been influenced by online novels for many years. After sorting out the information that the book had instilled in his brain, he immediately understood the current situation.

"I've opened it."

This "Necronomicon" contains many powerful abilities, which Li Ming can exchange for by consuming [Chaos Power].

After exchanging for an ability, you can also upgrade it by consuming [Chaos Power]. Abilities are divided into five levels: [White, Blue, Purple, Red, and Black]. The higher the level, the greater the authority.

The method to obtain [Chaos Power] is also very simple: create chaos in the world. The more chaotic the world is, the more [Chaos Power] he will obtain.

"What kind of chaotic evil faction is this...?"

Although I was internally complaining, it was impossible not to use a cheat if I had one.

After being wanted, the original owner simply confronted the cabinet, posting all the chat logs online, which sparked considerable discussion in this world and accumulated a certain amount of chaotic power.

In a way, this can be considered a case of good people being rewarded?

A quick glance through the Necronomicon revealed a dazzling array of abilities; Li Ming spent several minutes just flipping through the table of contents.

Soon, an ability called [Abyss] caught his eye. The description of this ability was very simple: it was water control. And he was currently in a coastal area, so there might even be a terrain buff!

exchange!

Since all abilities are initially white upon exchange, Li Ming went all in on Chaos Power and upgraded [Abyss] to purple!

As Li Ming thought for a moment, a twisted yet cool energy surged from the book, flowing along his fingertips and into his body!

Li Ming felt his body being decomposed and reorganized, every cell being transformed amidst groans and cheers! His entire life form seemed to be sublimating towards a higher dimension!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ming slowly opened his eyes.

The space before them was no longer empty; it was the basement they had been in before.

All his injuries had healed, and he wasn't even hungry anymore, even though he hadn't eaten for days. The noisy footsteps and shouts from upstairs continued.

He stayed in that void for at least ten minutes, while it seemed like only a moment had passed outside.

However, these are not the most important things.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

A tiny stream of water appeared out of nowhere, gently coiling around his fingertips, changing shape at his whim, sometimes transforming into a swimming fish, sometimes condensing into sharp spikes.

Now, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!

......

"Fuck! Search! Search every inch of this area! It's such a small area, let's see where he can hide!"

A sheriff, cursing under his breath, kicked open the door to a storage room, which was empty except for dust.

He used to spend his days in the police station, occasionally going out to bully talking farm tools, living a very comfortable life.

Until that damn little reporter showed up!

Thinking about the ridicule and sarcasm he received online after the cabinet scandal broke, he felt a surge of anger rising to his head.

"Boss, there's a basement here," one of the officers said.

Upon hearing this news, the sheriff rushed over, pulled away the officer who had just discovered the basement, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips. After chasing for so many days, he was finally going to catch this rat!

He could even picture the young reporter trembling with fear after hearing their voices.

However, just as the sheriff raised his leg, ready to kick the door down!

"boom--!!!"

A massive, violent torrent of water, which should never have existed here, poured out of the basement without warning!

The floor was instantly reduced to dust; concrete and steel bars were no different from paper in the face of this terrifying impact!

With an aura of annihilation, it burst forth from the cramped basement, blasting through the roof of the entire two-story building and transforming into a ferocious column of water that connected heaven and earth, shooting straight into the sky!

The sheriff didn't even get a chance to scream. The instant his body touched the edge of the water, he was completely pulverized by that incomprehensible, terrifying force, leaving not even a trace of flesh or blood behind, as if he had never existed in this world.

Several officers behind him met the same fate, completely obliterated by the raging water jets.

The loud noise immediately alerted the officers on the perimeter, but they were stunned when they saw the source of the sound.

A strong sense of fear rose in their hearts, and although they tried to convince themselves that it was just a huge water pipe that had broken, what happened next completely shattered their illusions.

A figure could be seen appearing and disappearing in the flowing water.

It was Li Ming!

The instant the figures took shape in the water column, a vast and complex amount of information flooded into their minds!

They were as if they had fallen into an endless vortex, every cell in their body trembling violently. All sorts of complicated information poured in from all directions like a tide, turning his consciousness and reason into a tangled mess, making him involuntarily dig deeper and deeper into those terrifying thoughts.

What exactly is that figure? What is humanity in the universe? Countless questions keep emerging, and answers are found in the ever-intertwining illusions. Questions that countless scholars have been unable to solve in their entire lives can now be answered simply by looking at this figure.

Unfortunately, even if they got the answer, they had no way to share it.

The human brain, being so fragile, is simply not capable of processing such a massive amount of information. Ultimately, this is due to the human body's self-preservation mechanisms.

The brain has stopped thinking.

This is the difference in life forms. Li Ming is already a deadly danger to them just by standing there and doing nothing.

Li Ming just watched as the group of people convulsed and then collapsed to the ground.

"It seems that in addition to the ability to control water, it also has some other abilities. But... now that you're all down, who am I going to test these abilities on?" After saying that, Li Ming seemed to have thought of something, and with a smile on his lips, he looked at the corpses.

"Alright, I won't waste your corpses."
