Chapter 7: Cyber Creates Gods

The moon hangs high.

The sea glows green.

Uncle An led a group of wave priests to hold a sacrificial ceremony.

At the end of the ceremony, a large glowing whirlpool is set off on the surface of the sea.

The door to the secret realm of water has finally opened.

On the deck of a cruise ship.

Kevin and April, live-streamed the sacrifice.

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room has exceeded 50 million!

On average, one out of every 150 people in the world is in this live broadcast room, waiting for the moment to witness the miracle.

Alan stood at the bow of the ship, with more than fifty camera positions, including aerial footage of a helicopter, focused on him.

Yoko took Allen's coat off.

As a bystander, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and her heart beat faster.

I really don't understand why Eren has a calm face and doesn't see the slightest sign of nervousness.

The boy was shirtless, with his arms outstretched.

Like a sturdy osprey, jumping off the bow of the ship.

Poof!

The moment you enter the water, a snow-white wave rises on the surface of the sea.

At the same time, in the large whirlpool directly in front of the bow of the ship, a giant whale slowly rose!

The emerald green back, glittering in the moonlight.

The Holy Beast of Water, Emperor Kun, is here as scheduled!

Compared to this god-like behemoth, Eren was too small.

In the live broadcast room, even Allen's die-hard fans couldn't help but suspect that it was too irrational to challenge the Water Holy Beast with a mortal body.

However, in the next second, people's cognition was refreshed.

Bang!!

The sea exploded, and Eren turned into a wave monster, reappearing in people's vision and cameras.

A majestic beast, treading the waves.

The turquoise mane swayed in the sea breeze, exuding a terrifying aura of substance.

The giant beast and the giant whale looked at each other.

The atmosphere on the surface of the sea was tense to the point of frozen.

Just when people were expecting a dragon fight, the whale's eyes revealed a heartfelt fear.

Unexpectedly retract into the vortex and try to escape back to the secret realm!

"Want to run? Too late! ”

Behemoth Ellen, grinning and sneering.

Exposed snow-white sharp teeth.

In the whirlpool, a luminous barrier suddenly emerged, catapulting back the giant whale that tried to dive and escape.

Alan had already guessed that the Wave Behemoth was suppressed by the bloodline, and it would run away in fear when it saw him.

At the beginning of entering the sea, he used the "Prayer Technique" to simulate the 8-ring "Dimensional Lock" and sealed the portal to the secret realm of water in advance.

The giant whale had no way to retreat, so it could only instinctively turn its head and flee.

The giant beast Alan stepped on the waves, strode and galloped, closely following the giant whale.

The crew of the cruise ship, at full throttle, tried to chase Allen and the whale.

However, the two huge figures still pulled farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared at the end of the sea and sky shrouded in night.

Fortunately, in addition to the fixed positions on the ship, there are also twelve helicopters in the air, providing aerial perspectives.

Kevin and April are transferred to a helicopter to provide follow-up coverage for viewers in the live broadcast room.

On the vast sea, an aircraft carrier formation is sailing at night.

On the towering mast, the golden rattlesnake flag flutters in the wind.

In the aircraft carrier cafeteria, a party is being held to celebrate the successful conclusion of the Rim of the Pacific cruise mission.

Officers and sailors of all ranks are looking forward to the holiday trip after disembarking.

At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded.

20 nautical miles north-northeast, suspicious underwater targets spotted!

The restaurant burst into an uproar.

Suspicious targets are rapidly approaching!

There is no discernible signal!

Refuse to respond to radio warnings!

A nuclear submarine of unknown origin?

The commander of the fleet decisively gave the order to attack suspicious targets.

Rows and rows of torpedoes, whistling out.

The sea roared endlessly, setting off stormy waves.

A giant green whale suddenly jumped out of the sea!

From aircraft carriers to escort warships, officers at all levels were staring wide-eyed and stunned!

He was bombarded by no less than ten torpedoes, but he only suffered a few flesh wounds.

What's even more incredible is ......

In the blink of an eye, even this little skin wound healed on its own.

The water beast, which was eager to escape from Allen's pursuit, was torpedoed for no reason, and was already holding back the fire in his belly.

I noticed a big ship in front of me blocking the way, and I crashed into it without thinking!

Boom!!

The aircraft carrier was hit by a giant whale and cracked on the spot!

Salt water poured in through the huge opening, and in an instant it flooded the lower compartments.

Having been hit so fatally, damage management has no effect.

The sailors escaped for their lives, praying for God's blessing.

The fleet commander climbed into the lifeboat and looked back at the slowly sinking aircraft carrier, filled with shock and fear that could not be described in words.

The giant whale crashed into the aircraft carrier, and he was also bounced back, dizzy for a while.

Before she could come back to her senses, the giant beast Eren had already caught up.

Stepping on the waves, he jumped up and landed firmly on the back of the giant whale!

The giant beast Allen, straddles the giant whale.

Tower-like arms strangled the whale's head.

Gluttonous black balls on your head, running at full speed!

Drain life!

Break it down!

Devouring Souls!

The whale was dying and struggling beneath him, useless.

Can't get rid of the powerful clamp of the giant beast Allen!

With a faint wail, the giant whale's body dried up at a speed visible to the human eye.

In less than ten minutes, all the essence and blood and divine souls were greedily sucked up by the giant beast Alan.

Those who witnessed this scene also included tens of millions of viewers in the live broadcast room.

Remembering that not long ago, the giant whale easily crashed and sank an aircraft carrier, the highest crystallization of human military science and technology, but now it was ravaged by Allen, and there was no way to fight back......

The strong contrast makes people feel that this world is so unreal, and the original three views collapse in an instant!

When people's old ideas about this world collapse, there is an urgent need to establish new ideas to support the precarious spiritual world.

Allen, who slaughtered whales with his bare hands, was able to hold up a spiritual pillar on top of the shattered ruins of people's hearts, providing the sense of stability that people crave.

A person does not kneel because of faith, but first kneels before he has faith.

God's ecological niche is there, and if you don't occupy it, someone else will sit on it.

On this night, destined to change the world, Eren answers the prayers of people's hearts and no longer hides his divinity.

He rose out of the sea.

It's like the wind on the water.

Replace the water beast and become the idol of the Wave Esoteric Sect.

Feel the faith of the believers and gather in themselves.

Back on the ship, Alan is interviewed by April, and frankly declares that he is the god who walks in the world.

……

"I am Joshua and the Messiah!"

"You have trampled this beautiful land, and turned it into a fallen Sodom, a sinful Gomorrah!"

"So I'm here to change all that!"

"In this land of depravity and sin, rebuild justice and justice!"

……

This remark was immediately strongly protested by religious circles.

However, these protests mean nothing.

Allen's influence has been deeply implanted in people's hearts with his unforgettable beast majesty, which perfectly meets the public's expectations for a savior.

After the two titles of Internet celebrity idol and superhero, Allen once again used the power of the Internet to successfully build himself into a god in the era of self-media.

After tonight's live broadcast, the buzz of discussion about Allen on the Internet has just begun.

As Alan walked on the deck, he felt a glimmer of faith converging on him from all directions.

The vast majority of them are die-hard fans of the live broadcast room, living all over the world, and became a big believer in Allen on the same night.

A smile tugged at the corner of Alan's lips.

The first step in the god-making plan was a complete success.

If you continue at this pace, within ten years, it is expected that you will perfectly integrate the origin of the ancestor Beamon!

Creating public opinion, performing publicly, converting fans into religious believers, and collecting the faith and willingness of believers, ten years is worth 600 years of accumulation of hard work alone.

This is the reason why in ancient times, the gods rose rapidly, and once suppressed the ancestors in desperation!

Allen, of course, knew that the power gained through the worship of the faithful was not secure.

If your personality collapses and you lose the worship of your followers, you will fall off the altar.

But he didn't care, after all, it was just a stopgap measure.

If it weren't for the fact that this world was not suitable for cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to follow this path of pretending to be a god and playing tricks.

What really touched his heart was the amplifying effect of the Internet on the spread of religion.

In the pre-Internet era, if you want to make a new church bigger and stronger, you can only form associations offline and preach peer-to-peer, which is quite inefficient.

However, with the Internet infrastructure, especially in the era of self-media, whether it is commercial advertisements or fallacies, it can rely on the Internet to spread virally.

Both truth and falsehood can prevail in this day and age.

Alan also thought of the world of warlocks, the network of beliefs between gods and believers, similar to the Internet in some way, but more closed.

On the contrary, the configuration provided by the "Prayer Technique" is more open.

Even if you are not a believer in a particular deity, you can try to communicate with it by praying.

Alan thought further out of the box.

If in the world of warlocks, we can draw on the Internet and prayer to create a lower threshold and a more open network for carrying transcendent inheritances and providing them to all interested people for free to learn, it may not be possible to break the monopoly of the warlock family and the Church of the Gods on transcendent power!

Perhaps, this is the "third way" that I have been pursuing for many years.

Perhaps, this is the "third way" that I have been pursuing for many years.

……

Three days later.

Private beach.

Wearing sunglasses and swim trunks, Alan reclined on a bench and sunbathed in the afternoon.

On another recliner next to her, Yoko is wearing a sexy bikini, her fair skin is moisturized by sunscreen oil, and her skin glows charmingly.

Uncle An, dressed as a housekeeper, walked over and leaned over to Allen's ear.

"Young Master, Mr. Hawke Smith from the Special Administrative Region, I would like to talk to you."

Hawk Smith...... Whose general is this? Alan asked nonchalantly.

"Smith's official identity is Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security and Director of the Secret Service, President Simpson's most trusted person."

Uncle An introduced.

Alan nodded knowingly.

Since this person is the head of the guard next to the president, the intention is self-evident.

"My dear, I've heard some rumors about this Smith."

Yoko sat up from the recliner and took off her sunglasses.

"Tell me about it."

Alan took the cocktail she handed her and took a sip.

"Smith has a close relationship with the Glacier Esoteric Sect, and if I'm not mistaken, this person should be a saint of the Glacier Esoteric Sect."

Alan nodded and looked at the old man beside him.

"Uncle An, what do you think?"

"The Glacier Esoteric Sect is the most low-key of the Six Elemental Esoteric Sects, and there is very little information about this organization."

"All we know is that the Glacier Esoteric Sect has been deeply involved in politics for many years and has already established an intricate network of contacts, and the current president, Simpson, is likely to be a secret member of the Order."

"The Secret Service, responsible for the president's safety."

"The Secret Service Chief must be the president's henchman!"

"From this point of view, Miss Yoko's guess is not far from ten."

"Glacier Esoteric Sect, ......"

Alan gripped his cup and groaned.

Now that he has become the co-leader of the two great esoteric sects, Waves and Volcanoes, the next target is the Glacier Esoteric Sect!

With the divinity of the Ancestor Leviathan, he can suppress the extraordinary power of the ice cleric.

The followers of the Glacier Esoteric Sect who worshiped the Ice Beast Fenrir happened to be restrained by him.

Just as he couldn't find a chance to contact the Glacier Esoteric Sect, Hawk Smith, who was suspected of being a Glacier Saint, came to the door by himself.

It's like falling asleep and handing over the pillow, just in time!

Alan shook his glass, and the ice hit the inner wall of the glass with a crisp sound.

Draining the wine from his glass, Alan stood up.

"Yoko, Uncle An, accompany me to meet Mr. Smith."

……

Hawk Smith, a short man, is of a plain appearance and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

If it weren't for sensing the cold air emanating from his body, Alan wouldn't have seen it at all, this middle-aged man with an image and temperament that resembled a primary school teacher was actually the chief guard next to the president.

Mr. Smith spoke calmly.

Mr. President has announced his candidacy for re-election, but the polls are not encouraging.

Smith wanted Allen to use his influence to rally believers to support Simpson and vote for his re-election.

In return, Allen could join the President's Staff and become a partner of Mr. Simpson, gaining support in politics and business.

"That's all?"

Alan crossed his legs, arms crossed over his chest, and sat back on the couch in the most relaxed position.

"Mr. Smith, these rewards you are talking about are dispensable to me."

"If you want my help, you have to show more sincerity."

Smith lifted his glasses and reached for the hot cup of coffee on the table.

Arctic magic channeled through his fingers into the cup.

Click!

The hot coffee suddenly condensed into a lump of ice, breaking the porcelain cup.

Yoko, who was standing behind Allen, changed her face slightly, and her fingertips touched the hilt of the knife.

Boom!

The katana hanging from the waist pops out a half-foot snow blade!

Alan raised his hand and shook his head slightly.

Yoko bit her rosy lip and put her knife into the sheath.

"Uncle An, it seems that Mr. Smith doesn't like coffee, change him for a glass of water."

Uncle An shrugged his shoulders and quickly brought a glass of ice water and placed it in front of Smith.

Smith stared into Allen's eyes, as if trying to figure out what he meant.

Alan smiled but said nothing.

He gestured for him to drink.

Smith hesitated for a moment, then reached for the glass.

The fingertips touched the outer wall of the glass and immediately retracted.

His face changed instantly.

The ice water in the cup became hot at some point.

Smith glanced at Allen, then at the young woman in red with a knife behind him.

He knew that Asura Yoko was a saint of the Volcanic Esoteric Sect.

As a mistress, she openly cohabits with Alan.

It is like a political marriage, which marks the deep alliance between the Volcanic Esoteric Sect and the Wave Esoteric Sect at the strategic level.

Quietly, a remote control glass of ice water turns into boiling water.

If this was done by Yoko Asura, Smith would not be surprised, after all, she is the best person in the world at manipulating fire magic.

However, he didn't perceive the fluctuation of the fire element's magic from Yoko.

Could it be that in addition to Yoko, Eren is also good at manipulating fire elemental magic?

This thought deeply disturbed him.

There are geniuses in the world who can manipulate the magic of many elements.

But at the level of a saint, he could only concentrate on cultivating one elemental magic.

If you are half-hearted and cultivate multiple sects, you will lose the favor of the holy beast, and you will even be deprived of your saintly personality and supernatural power.

As a saint of the Glacier Esoteric Sect, Smith felt qualified to make such a statement.

However, if you think about it carefully, Allen's strange thing may not be measured by common sense.

Not long ago, Allen had live-streamed the hunting of the Water Sacred Beast, and also claimed to have replaced the Holy Beast as the new god of the Wave Esoteric Sect.

If that live broadcast was not a show, wouldn't it mean that this young man had successfully killed gods as a wave saint?

The power of the saint comes from the holy beast he worships, and the holy beast can deprive the saint of his power at the slightest thought, how can the saint kill the holy beast and replace it?!

Smith couldn't figure it out.

Just as he couldn't figure out why Allen, as a Wave Saint, was able to invoke fire magic with opposite attributes at will.

"Mr. Smith, why don't you drink water?"

There was a hint of provocation in Alan's smile.

"If you don't think the water is too hot, you might as well cool it yourself, just like you did with that cup of coffee."

Smith hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his right hand and grasped the glass.

Try to unleash ice mana to cool the boiling water in your cup.

However......

Smith's face instantly lost blood.

Dense beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Trembling fingers, almost knocking over the water glass.

The magic power in the body is suppressed by some mysterious force, and it can't be released at all.

What's going on?!

Smith looked up at Allen in horror and confusion.

"Mr. Smith, you are mortal, and I am a god."

"The power of mortals is vulnerable in the face of divine might."

Syllable!

Alan raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Prayer" simulates the 5 rings of "domination of humans", easily penetrating Smith's volitional defenses and firmly controlling his spirit.

The rest of the conversation was completely dominated by Allen.

As Yoko and Uncle An conjectured, Smith and the glacial esoteric religion he represented were more like a union of political families than a religious community.

Long before the birth of this country, adherents of the Glacier Esoteric Sect had begun to meet regularly in the southern estates.

From the War of Independence to the Civil War, and then to the two world wars, there are glacial esoteric activities behind it.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China more than 200 years ago, he has served as more than 40 presidents, most of whom have been agents supported by the Glacier Esoteric Sect.

The current president, John Simpson, is no exception.

Under Allen's mind control, Smith knows everything.

All kinds of privacy about President Simpson have also been said without reservation.

Alan frowned.

Uncle An and Yoko, who have seen too much ugliness in the world, can't help but show a disgusted look.

This Mr. President, to put it mildly, is an out-and-out scumbag.

"It is not a bad thing that the agents of Esoteric Buddhism in political circles have weaknesses and can be controlled as a handle."

"However, it is too abstract to put a beast with a beast face and a heart on the presidency."

"Smith, I don't like Simpson."

"His existence has lowered the moral lower limit of all mankind."

Alan was frank.

"Now take me to your Order's headquarters, hold a sacrifice, and summon the Ice Sacred Beast."

"After taking over the Glacier Esoteric Sect and obtaining the essence of the Ice Holy Beast's bloodline, let's discuss by the way, how to kick out the scumbag of Simpson, who has not achieved enough and has more than enough failures, and change it to a more reliable president to manage the country for us."
