Anyone who had experienced a catastrophe would know that when natural and man-made disasters were rampant, the most terrifying thing was not disability and death, but hunger.
Using food to bewitch the panicked and hungry people who had just experienced the apocalypse soon produced an excellent effect. Within just a few minutes, the crowd that was scurrying all over the street had a unified direction and rushed towards New York's Orange Street.
However, after the black-haired young man muttered to himself, he did not continue to mix into the crowd. Instead, he stopped to look at both sides of the street and ran to a boutique shoe store with a broken window glass. Jumping onto the window sill, he sat down cross-legged and looked at the rolling flow of people in front of him as he fell into contemplation.
"The New York military base didn't suffer any damage at all. The federal army inside should have started to act now. Don't tell me that they're really inferior to the general public and have to keep hiding like a mouse?
If that's the case, then I'll have to change my plan … "Unknowingly, the young man began to mutter to himself again. As he was speaking, he suddenly shut his mouth and a cold gleam flashed across his eyes. Looking to the right, under his ferocious gaze, a blonde girl with a graceful figure and a voluptuous figure left the crowd and strolled to his side. With a gentle push of her hands, she actually sat on the window sill as well.
The two of them stared at each other for a while and a strange and brutal smile appeared on the corner of the black-haired young man's mouth. He gently raised his hands that were placed on his knees, causing thousands of inexplicable distorted arcs to appear in the air around his arms as he whispered, "Do you know the language on Earth?
I can't believe that I can actually meet a god who has' descended 'on the streets of New York just a few days after the world's barrier collapsed. The Colossal World is really more magical than I imagined.
However, if you take me as your prey, then you'd be too stupid. As a god, you should be able to notice the gap between us even if it's just a shift of will … "
"I've understood the gap between us very well from the very beginning, baby. There's no need for you to remind me," Looking back at the young man's ferocious gaze, the girl suddenly interrupted him with a gentle voice. "We haven't seen each other for 575 days. How are you?"
The familiar tone, address, and wording made the black-haired young man, who was about to explode at any time, freeze right away.
The cold smile on his face froze like a mask for more than ten seconds. With a hoarse and dry voice, the young man stuttered, "D-Tina, is that you?"
"Of course it's me! Other than your mom and me, who else would call you 'baby' so naturally? Oh, I forgot! Maybe my best friend and sister, Trish too!
Miss Maddy, the secretary of the LS board of directors whom you admire the most, will call you that in private. "
"D-Tina, I-I'm really sorry. Really, I've never thought of hurting you. Really …" Upon sensing the infinite sorrow and pain in the girl's smiling eyes, the young man said in a trembling voice, losing his composure.
"Hurt me? Of course you won't hurt me. You've always been my savior who saved me from despair and desperation.
Before I turned 18, I never thought that I would pledge my life to a man.
Before I met you, love was like a delicious dessert to me. It's sweet when I eat it, but I'll get tired of it after eating a few more pieces. However, after I met you, I finally realized that I'm actually a woman who treats love as air. Without love, my heart will suffocate and I'll die in pain … "
"I'm sorry, Tina! I'm sorry …" The young man slumped on the windowsill powerlessly. His body began to tremble slightly as he muttered in an almost moaning manner.
Upon seeing his near-collapse look, a strange expression flashed across the girl's face that had always been smiling. "Isn't your current performance a little too exaggerated? My dear baby, you're the Wizard Li's god. Oh, you must have already ruled the entire Shrimp World No. 2 by now, right? A god who owns a complete world? Just the thought of it is amazing.
That's right, why did the world shrouded by your faith suddenly disappear after the doomsday disaster? Can you tell me the reason? "
"I used the only sky-patching stone left by the ancient Chinese witchcraft ancestor, Goddess Nuwa, to repair the spatial door of the Shrimp World No. 2 before the world's barrier collapsed.
It was originally just a test and experiment, but I didn't expect the result to be so perfect, "The black-haired young man fell into a moment of silence. To the girl's surprise, he answered honestly.
"Nuwa, Nuwa …" The girl was stunned for a moment. Chewing on the name of this ancient god who created the Chinese witchcraft and left behind countless shocking legends, she fell into her memories. After a long time, she finally said, "I remember that you've inherited the bloodline of this powerful god, right? Ah, we've even analyzed the story of her patching the sky before and guessed that it has something to do with the sudden disappearance of the Colossal World.
Now, it looks like that guess is actually right. Ah, this is really shocking! There's actually a god who's so powerful that she can separate a thousand inexplicably glued worlds and recreate the world's barrier in ancient times. "
"Yes, I'm also very shocked these few days," The Wizard Li's god nodded.
"You've inherited the bloodline of such a powerful god, so it's no wonder that you can conquer a complete world in just a few years.
But why did you tell me such important information? You should know how precious a method that can possibly end the Colossal World, even if it's a method that can't be proven at all … "
"To me, what can be more precious than you?" Looking at the girl's suspicious expression, the young man suddenly interrupted her words.
"You've learned how to sweet-talk now! You've learned how to sweet-talk now, Zhang Lisheng!" Upon hearing this, the girl's body froze right away. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, she suddenly exploded and punched the Wizard Li's god's shoulder as she shouted, "Even if you wanted to coax me in the past, you would never have said such words just now. But now, you can say it just by opening your mouth!
You're so nice! You're so nice! You're so nice! You're so nice … "
In the old federal state that advocated individual heroism, such a high-decibel shout from the girl was enough to attract the attention of passers-by even during the chaotic period. However, when the people who noticed the behavior of the two people, they thought that it was just a quarrel between a couple. Nobody was nosy and just shrugged and continued to walk on the journey of struggling to survive.
After a long time, the girl finally stopped crying herself hoarse. Wiping away the tears on her face, she lowered her head and took a few deep breaths. She regained her cold expression just now and stared at the Wizard Li's god as she said, "It's hard to imagine that my disgust for you has actually surpassed my dignity as a god …"
The young man, who was motionless like a sculpture when the girl punched him, suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Tina, the so-called god is just an intelligent creature that has mastered great power.
If you have wisdom, you'll have thinking, and if you have thinking, you'll have feelings like, hate, fear, and so on. What's the difference between you and a human being?
The dignity of a god is nothing but a disguise in front of the believers. It's essentially no different from the proud and unfamiliar attitude that you show to strangers at school or in social circles. There's no need for such a disguise between the two of us, is there? "
"Since you said that there's no need for disguise, then I'll tell you the purpose of my visit directly." The girl lowered her head and became silent for a moment before saying in an even colder tone, "The fence that divides the world has collapsed, and the 'book' has been unfolded. The era of the Colossal World has come, and at this time, it's the cheapest and smartest way to show goodwill to the 'powerful.'
And you're strong enough … "
"Show goodwill? No problem, I accept your goodwill." Upon hearing the girl's words that seemed to have more to say, the young man nodded and asked, "But you still have to tell me which world or force you represent, right? Is it the Shrimp World No. 1?"
"Yes, I'm indeed the god of the Faron World, which is also the Shrimp World No. 1 that you mentioned," the girl replied.
"Can you tell me how all of this bizarre happened?" The young man asked another question with concern.
"This matter may seem inconceivable, but it's actually very simple. Do you still remember the Philosopher's Book that you gave me?"
"Of course I remember. That's the trophy I got from my first confrontation with the god's clone. That guy was very arrogant and called himself the Sovereign of Truth. Don't tell me that he made you a follower god just by relying on that book?"
"Of course not. The Faron World has four major god systems — Radiance, Dusk, Alpis Peak, and Black-Red Lake. The Sovereign of Truth doesn't have the qualification to rule any of the god systems.
Have you forgotten? Most of the pages of the Philosopher's Book were indeed snatched from him by you, but the fundamental and most critical part came from the hands of a human from a foreign world. "
"Sage Altman?" The image of a black-clothed old man covered with a cloak flashed across the young man's mind, prompting him to blurt out, "You mean the sage who once led the warriors to invade Hawaii?"
"That's right, Altman!" The girl nodded. "It's because of him that I became the god of the Faron World."
"Isn't he already dead long ago?"
"Altman had indeed died a long time ago, but coincidentally, too many accidents happened after his death.
First, the Atlantean fleet came to Earth, and then the world's gate began to open all over the Earth. Then, the federation found the Noah World, causing the cruel offensive of the United States on the Shrimp World No. 1 to weaken exponentially, allowing the Red Iron Nation, which was originally about to perish, to miraculously survive.
The people of the Red Iron Nation thought that it was Altman who risked his life to cross the world's barrier who saved them, so they respected Altman like a god … "
"But what does this have to do with you?"
"Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but coincidentally, Altman had either died or escaped before he set off for Earth. He was the last sage in the Red Iron Nation's army.
In order to show respect, the general public never called his name directly when they worshipped him. Instead, they called him the 'last sage of the Red Iron Nation' … "
