Chapter 146: I Want to Be a God (January 6th)
Lydia's father was clearly not a "king" who could control everything in the family, so the argument between father and daughter continued until dinner time without a result. And the time had dragged on too late, so it was obvious that Roshen had no other place to stay, and even if this Mr. James Young did not want to be involved in other things, he had to leave Roshen to live in their house.
Lydia's mother quickly cleared a room and had Lydia arrange for Roshen to move into it after dinner.
"This is my brother Ness's room, but he's gone to college so you can stay as you please, but don't touch his universe-related stuff - he's going to go crazy." Lydia smiled and introduced Roshen to the boy and left the room as he sat down on the edge of the bed, but left a small gap in the door for fear of being scared in an unfamiliar environment.
Roshen sat on the bed, which was barely larger than a single bed.
In the semi-dark environment, Luo Shen's eyes glowed faintly silver.
His excellent hearing allowed him to distinguish the sound of Lydia's mother tidying up the kitchen and putting dishes in the dishwasher downstairs in the crack in the door, and the sound of the Chinese Mr. "James Young" flipping through the book in his hand without eavesdropping.
Of course.
He also heard the sound of Lydia talking on the phone when she returned to her room in the next room, and the sound of her sister Hannah rolling over on the bed with her bear doll in her arms......
Roshen looked up and looked around the room.
A seemingly expensive astronomical telescope in front of the window and a photograph of celestial objects and the starry sky attached to the wall made his gaze linger for a moment.
"The humans of this universe are really lucky...... Although civilization is still trapped on this planet, their universe is so colorful that it is just a corner of the earth, not like the earth I was born on...... For most people, the universe is just a concept of an endless void and a collection of countless fireballs and a dead planet. Without expectation, there is no hope, and people will not even stop in life, spend a moment looking up at the starry sky, and imagine the infinite possibilities of human beings in the magnificent cosmic galaxy! - That's so sad! ”
After a brief expression of the current in his enigmatic thought circuit, Luo Shen spread out his little hand.
In the palm of his hand, a white, long, thread-like worm split from his skin.
But after a little hesitation, the white worm was broken down into nutrients again.
Speaking of which, the ability of "white worm" has almost been forgotten by Luo Shen.
It had been a long time since he had used to indulge in devouring matter and strengthening his own body this ability that he had originally used to corrupt the indigenous inhabitants of a world and make them his own low-level cannon fodder.
At this time, he originally wanted to use this ability to develop his family, but after creating this white worm, he quickly thought that whether it was the original white worm or the second generation white worm, the human brain and body that were eroded by it had been highly deformed.
The thinking of this aberrant is crazy and disorderly, and the belief energy that can be generated is not enough and not pure enough.
The great mutation of the body and brain causes these aberrants to lose the richness of their personalities, lives, and various mental activities like normal humans.
Although their nerves are faster, their bodies are stronger, and their resistance to pain, cold, sickness, and hunger is stronger, this also makes it impossible for them to produce pure faith energy like humans.
And so it goes.
If Luo Shen wanted to seriously develop the ability of his Faeron Divine System, it would be impossible for him to use this chaotic and mixed faith energy as the main source of faith power.
That would only result in making him something similar to the gods in the world of Faeron. Although still powerful, that kind of impure ability that only destroys and destroys is not attractive to an evil god like Luo Shen at all!
"So...... Try to become a God! Roshen said to himself.
……
The next morning, Lydia's family didn't know that they had gone through the threshold where half of their brains had been swallowed by bugs and turned into aberrant monsters.
Roshen was woken up from bed by Lydia and went downstairs to eat his share of breakfast, and Lydia's father drove his two daughters to school.
Lydia's mother, who has been contacted by the children's rescue center, is the only one left in the family.
The woman, who had three children, was apparently still very good at taking care of them, so she took out some toys that interested the boys, turned on the cartoon show on the TV, and went back to tidying up the house.
But an hour later, when someone rang the doorbell, she found that Luo Shen was already gone.
And the brief turmoil in Lydia's house did not affect Luo Shen, who used his divine power to release a short-distance teleportation technique.
Having left Lydia's house, he has realized that in order to develop believers, he must change his packaging and routines.
New York, a place with high technological development and a floating heart, filled with all kinds of superheroes and mutants, is not suitable for the development of a relatively "ancient" system of religion.
Whether one believes in religion or not, one thing one thing has to be admitted is that religion, an entity born from the awe, worship and fear of phenomena beyond one's own cognition in ancient times, has been gradually eliminated in the development of science.
Although many religions are constantly absorbing the crystallization of art, politics, science and technology, and ideas in human civilization, they are constantly evolving.
But this evolution clearly does not make most religions that were founded thousands of years ago "self-justifying."
Anyone who has ever been to elementary school, anyone who has seen any image of the Earth taken from the universe will instinctively reflect on the fallacy that God or AL said created the earth.
Even if religious people continue to stifle science and burn those scientists in order to continue to develop their own interests, when the enemy country uses the power of science and technology to force other conservative countries to progress...... All efforts to stifle science have become the most despicable betrayal of humanity by the reactionaries.
Perhaps those who burned Copernicus to death were not punished.
But the earth is round.
Not the center of the universe.
Neither is the sun.
Man stands on the earth because of gravity.
Life on earth evolved from God, not God or Noah's Ark.
These facts raise suspicion of the priests, mullahs, monks, or priests of the so-called supreme gods and the so-called spokesmen of the gods.
Their once supreme authority, the wealth that they had easily snatched from the plebeians and nobles would no longer be easily delivered to them.
They can no longer frame a woman who has not donated gold or her body as a witch and burn them with their mouths.
Simon Leopard was able to send the witch and the three elders who sacrificed virgins to the "Hebo" two thousand years ago.
Today, the people, who are armed with scientific knowledge, can still send those who swindle and deceive under the guise of gods and even break the law and commit crimes to prisons and courts.
Considering the current situation, Luo Shen understood that he could not directly use the banner of gods or miracles.
The so-called "tree big wind" is not unjustified gossip.
Although the United States has always had the reputation of being a "hotbed of cults," and there are at least 5,000 cults identified throughout the country, most of them are just petty fights and self-defeating goods.
However, Roshen could not have been clearer: if he performed a "miracle" and attracted a large number of believers...... Then at this time, the "Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau", which is still not well-known in this world, that is, S.H.I.E.L.D., will immediately jump out and give itself a hammer!
