Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 346 The Day of Ascension to Godhood (Part 3) The Official Arrival

Below them stood a group of cardinals, all looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment, seeing that the old pope had calmed down, someone asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

"Should we deploy the Holy Knights?"

In the old pope's cloudy eyes, the figures of Gabriel and Irene seemed to be reflected; they were the church's strongest individual combat force at the moment.

However, during the London Bloodbath two years ago, Irene was seriously injured and her bloodline was damaged. She has not fully recovered to this day. As for Gabriel, although he is the church's strongest exorcist, Gabriel is not a saint or a descendant of saints.

It was merely a mortal body, achieving the limits of humanity through unwavering faith and the experience of old age.

With his honed holy power and extensive experience, he was naturally invincible against demons, and could barely handle projections of great demons. However, if a real great demon or even a demon god were to intervene, he would be unqualified.

As for the Holy Knights, they were destroyed a hundred years ago during the battle between Van Helsing and Dracula. They were only temporarily rebuilt a few years ago when the Pope sensed the return of darkness.

Just like the establishment of the exorcism academy.

It has only been a few years since then, and the strength and number of this knight order are far from sufficient, even compared to a hundred years ago. If they are sent out now, they might be able to fight against the great demon if they all fight desperately, but this is just drinking poison to quench thirst. How will they fight against other darkness in the future?

and so……

"Contact Constantine and inform Gabriel to prepare to welcome the prospective saintess and together carry out the mission of annihilating the alien gods."

"In addition, send three cardinals and a team of holy knights with holy relics to provide support and ensure that the alien gods are wiped out."

One word can startle a thousand waves.

Many cardinals expressed their opposition.

The church preserves many sacred objects, but these objects should not be used lightly; they represent the church's strongest heritage.

To use a sacred artifact for a mysterious other god, frankly, they didn't think it was worth it.

Moreover, aside from saints or their descendants, there is a price to pay for truly wielding the power of a sacred relic, such as a large amount of holy power, lifespan, and vitality. The three cardinals who were designated were now green with envy...

In fact, the modern world is different from the Middle Ages. Most of the people who can become cardinals today are not devout believers in God. They are more like politicians or wealthy businessmen than clergy.

Therefore, they prefer to measure gains and losses and consider advancement and retreat in terms of value.

So what if they're aliens? What does it have to do with them? Why use something as important as a sacred relic? They might as well just stand by and wait for America to ask for help and then try to get something in return.

The Pope gave them a cold glance.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

With darkness descending once more, the Pope's authority rises, and these people will not defy his orders until they are truly pushed to their limits.

Without him.

Because it was confirmed that God truly exists.

The Pope, who is known as the Patriarch of the earth and represents God, naturally possesses an awe-inspiring divine quality.

I dare not disobey.

However, the old pope did offer an explanation.

“The others are just survivors, but He is different. He is a true heretic. If He cannot resolve the issue, there is no need for Him to come back. The Lord does not need believers who are afraid to make sacrifices.”

Everyone was speechless.

Finally, under the old pope's oppressive gaze, he was forced to bow his head.

After the cardinals withdrew, the old pope looked worriedly in the direction of America. His dream had given him guidance, but it was also very vague. He didn't know why that alien god was so special, but he believed that his dream would never appear for no reason.

Therefore, he decided to treat this heretical god with the same attitude the ancient papacy had towards heretics!

We must resolutely eradicate them!

Even if it requires the use of sacred relics, or even the life of a cardinal...

……

Just as the church began its actions, a large number of rescue workers arrived and began providing assistance to Orlando.

But also arriving at the same time were professionals who were handling the source of the incident.

Michael, a tall, middle-aged white man wearing sunglasses, strode ahead. To his left and right were two white men and a white woman, all dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses, looking rather cool and stylish.

Behind the four of them, a series of modified military vehicles came to a stop, from which a large number of soldiers and field staff from the Administration Bureau emerged.

“We don’t need to help the disaster victims; we need to address the root cause of all this,” Michael said, looking at the equipment in front of him.

The instrument was peculiar; its display screen clearly showed the location of the abnormal energy fluctuations.

The three people behind him stared at Michael expressionlessly, without saying a word.

Michael glanced at the three men and was relieved to see that they remained silent. These three were special; their silence was the best outcome, as it implied agreement.

Now...

Michael looked toward Sugar Hill.

He then excused himself to go to the restroom, went to a secluded spot, and made a phone call.

After a while.

Michael frowned and hung up the phone.

Michael, who had collaborated with the Cano family and even rose through their ranks thanks to them, immediately thought of the Cano family upon arriving in Orlando.

In his memory, the Cano family was very powerful, and they were suspected of having multiple demon-level combatants behind the scenes, especially the young Louis Cano, who not only had a high status within the family, but was also very strong.

He still can't forget how Louis resolved the alien incident back in California, and the Miner's Order incident, which actually summoned a demon.

If such a big thing happened in Orlando, the stronghold of Cano International, he would naturally immediately think of this family.

The phone call just now also confirmed some things.

Although the other party's answer was ambiguous, and they said that they were not the ones who caused the earthquake, Michael was already certain that the Cano family was involved.

"I hope your family isn't involved in some kind of heretical religion... otherwise..."

A cold glint flashed in Michael's eyes.

Even though he had a deal with the Cano family, he now had to make a decision.

Whether it's for his own personal considerations or for the sake of justice, if the Cano family is really up to something, then even if it involves him, he has no choice but to strike back hard against Cano.

soon.

Michael led a portion of the military and all the Bureau's field agents to Candy Hill. Because the earthquake was still ongoing, especially in the vicinity of Candy Hill, Michael and some officers boarded a helicopter after approaching the area.

Even so, the airflow fluctuations caused by the ground still caused great inconvenience to the aircraft, taking longer to reach its destination.

Upon arrival, Michael and everyone else were stunned.

What kind of scene is this?!

The earth is like an ocean, with waves surging and rolling.

The earth, which should have been as solid as a rock, was now being stirred up as easily as if it had been mixed with cement. In fact, a huge vortex of earth had formed at the very center!

It absorbs and incorporates everything around it.

At the center of that vortex, a massive yellow sphere of light stood unmoved, despite the vortex's pull.

Within that yellow sphere of light, there seemed to be many figures moving about, as well as small hills and mounds.

"Sir, what do we do now?"

A battalion commander inquired that, in this incident, the men on Capitol Hill had taken the initiative and sent half a division (two brigades), about seven to eight thousand men.

However, due to some political matters, both brigade commanders refused to participate in the incident. As a result, Michael, a member of the Administration Bureau, became the highest-ranking official here, and even had the authority to command troops due to the current special circumstances.

Michael pondered.

Given the terrain, the army cannot get close at all. At most, they can command the air force to bomb or carry out other long-range attacks, but the effect is not significant.

The most important thing now is to analyze the current situation in order to find the right solution.

Michael then ordered the battalion commander to have his men stand by nearby, while he turned to look at the instruments, which were displaying the current situation.

"Underground? What are these long, enormous energy bodies? What are they?"

This instrument is somewhat like a thermal imager, displaying only its approximate shape and energy level.

But looking at this alone, Michael still couldn't figure it out.

Just then, the woman, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "These are all demons."

"You know?" Michael asked, turning around.

"Yes, our bloodline senses the evil power of these guys. They are definitely demons. In addition, their aura is very mixed, like a hybrid of many demons."

"Is there any way to solve this? At least let's stop these natural disasters first."

Michael asked hurriedly.

We'll talk about demons later; the most urgent thing right now is to stop the natural disasters, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The woman didn't answer, but turned to look at her two companions. The three of them whispered among themselves, leaving Michael standing there. Michael's face twitched, but he was helpless.

These three are all wielders and users of forbidden weapons, and are carefully cultivated trump cards by the Bureau. Although they have no command authority, they are highly independent, and even with his current status, he has no right to command them.

Fortunately, they were indeed professional and quickly provided an answer.

“It can be resolved. Taric can use a weapon to immobilize this place, but there will be a cost and it will take time. It's definitely not possible today.”

"Okay, it's good that it can be resolved."

Michael felt relieved; it was good that the Bureau's trump card was useful, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to solve this disaster.

But then the woman said, "Besides, the existence of that sphere of light is not a good thing either. Our bloodlines react to it differently: some reject and hate it, some believe in it and some revere it, and so on."

Do you know who's inside?

As she spoke, the woman kept her eyes fixed on Michael.

Michael was speechless. He wanted to keep it a secret, but thinking about the phone call he had just received, he finally admitted, "I have some guesses, but they're not accurate."

Then, he revealed information about the Cano family.

"In short, I'm not sure if this situation was orchestrated by this family."

But faced with Michael's honesty, the woman looked at him with a hint of disdain.

“Mr. Michael, everything is still unclear. It is shameful to rush to shift responsibility to others.”

"Don't worry, we won't lose, you don't need to do this."

???

Michael was completely confused. What did that mean?
He didn't know that women are used to the ways of American officials and are well aware of their skill in putting on a show and shifting blame. They mistakenly took Michael's honesty as an attempt to shift blame.

"Finally, please give us a quiet environment and do not disturb us."

After confirming, the woman stopped talking and ignored Michael, who seemed to want to say something but couldn't. The three of them went straight to the room at the back of the plane and started taking things out, muttering incantations while seemingly cutting their wrists to bleed...

Michael's lips twitched, and he finally cursed, "Fuck!"

……

Just as the officials from the Administration arrived, ready to resolve the matter...

Higa Kotoko and the others inside the sphere of light also noticed their arrival.

"The reaction speed is not bad, but I wonder how they plan to deal with it." Higa Kotoko stared blankly at the sky, seemingly using some kind of magic to see Michael and the others.

Carrie, standing next to her, looked exhausted. She had just finished using two-thirds of her psychic power and had been rotated out, and hadn't had a chance to rest yet.

"How is it going? Will it affect us?"

"Yes, of course, but how exactly they do it depends on their actions. For now, we can only remain unchanged and wait for the right opportunity."

"We're too passive."

"It's alright. If they have to deal with something, they should deal with the monsters outside first. With such a huge disaster still ongoing, as government officials, their only responsibility is to quell the disaster first."

"I can speak calmly," Higa Kotoko said.

Carrie nodded in agreement. Indeed, as Higa Kotoko said, they were protected from the massive earthquakes caused by these monsters because of Louis's array, but other places were not.

“However, we also need to prepare early. I have a feeling that these monsters are preparing something,” Higa Kotoko added.

"We've done everything we can. What else can we do?"

"Wake Jason up."

"Now?"

"Ah."

Carrie hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to trust Kotoko Higa's judgment and went downstairs.

After Carrie left, Higa Kotoko looked down at her palms; now, her fingers seemed to have transformed into playing cards.

She needs to carefully consider the value of these cards and when to play them.

Finally, she bent four fingers.

"Kayako, Jeanne d'Arc (Black and White), and I, Jason."

This is the strongest card, and we need to play it now. However, it will still be some time before the planetary Grand Cross astronomical anomaly is activated. What other situations might occur next? Is it really appropriate to play this card now?

There are so many thoughts in my mind.

"..."

Slightly agitated, Higa Kotoko sat cross-legged, lit an incense stick, and watched the white smoke swirl in the air, gradually calming down.

"If it comes down to the last moment, that's the only option we can use."

Higa Kotoko suddenly muttered to herself, and a Kitchen God amulet appeared in her hand without her noticing.

Time flies by at this moment.

Before we knew it, it was the next day.
