Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 356 Seven Stars Alignment Divine Duties
The battle was intense, but it ended quickly.

As dawn broke.

The Candy Mountain formation has been restored, and a large number of soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield, but none of them have left the formation's coverage area because a large army is surrounding it from the outside.

Carrie quickly scanned the area and discovered tens of thousands of troops, as well as a large number of heavy weapons such as missile launchers.

However, perhaps out of fear of the crushing defeat suffered by Selir and the others, the army did not launch an attack, but instead surrounded them and attempted to communicate with them.

However, Kotoko Higa remained silent and made no contact; silence is golden.

"Communicating with politicians is a troublesome thing, and although we have shown our strength, let's not forget what our purpose is. For now, we just need to remain silent and keep the American officials from figuring out our situation."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it after Louis comes out of the pass."

This is how Higa Kotoko explained it to them.

Carrie and the others had no objections, but Constantine frowned as he looked at the large number of corpses and the ravages of war being cleared around Sugar Hill.

But he didn't say anything, he just silently closed his eyes.

This is perhaps the scene he divined.

Regardless of which side wins, will there be such a devastating loss of life?

However, Constantine did not regret his choice. After all, if the devil had succeeded in his goal, the situation would have been even worse, and more people would have died. The current situation was barely acceptable.

However, he still felt that this was not a place to stay for long.

Especially that Louis, something's really off about him.

After some time of reflection, he had recognized the ritual patterns.

Whose power is he stealing?

What consequences would a living deity have on the present world if stolen?
Should I... stop the other person?

A variety of thoughts surged in his mind.

Finally, he glanced at his side. Emma was glancing at him every now and then, as was the dark-haired, somewhat gloomy-looking neon woman. She seemed to be watching him too. That terrifying, restless sense of curse was practically always with him...

Tsk, fine, if the gods are alive, they are. Even if the sky falls, there are tall ones to hold it up. Let the angels handle it. I'm just a mortal!
Constantine made his decision.

He needs to leave as soon as possible; every second he stays here is irresponsible towards his own life!

With this thought in mind, Constantine looked at the person in charge here, Kotoko Higa.

“Miss Higa, the matter is over, and I think I should leave. I’m too far from home and I miss my family.”

Chas, who had remained silent the whole time, twitched his eyebrows.

“Mr. Constantine, you have helped us so much, and we haven’t even thanked you yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

"No, no, I've already been paid, and I've always valued my freedom. I'll come back next time I'm passing through Florida."

"Okay, this is for your thanks. Have a safe trip."

Kotoko Higa handed Constantine an anonymous bank card containing $200,000.

Constantine beamed with delight.

Okay, I admit that my previous thoughts were a bit biased. Stealing the power of the gods is dangerous, but it doesn't necessarily have to be used for bad things.

soon.

Constantine and Chas then stepped out of the array space.

Just two minutes after they stepped outside, the two were spotted by American satellites, and a squad of heavily armed soldiers escorted them away.

However, the two were not worried, as they had anticipated this situation before they came out.

So, after he came out, Constantine made a few phone calls.

……

After Constantine left.

The military has consistently set up roadblocks and maintained vigilance, while prohibiting media interviews, effectively turning this area into a military restricted zone.

At the same time, everything that happens here is also being reported outwards in a special way.

England, France, Mexico, Canada...

The Vatican is no exception.

It is said that the Pope smashed a porcelain vase and then disappeared from sight, no one knows what he did.

Other countries maintained constant contact with the United States, exchanging information.

Time passed gradually.

At the end of December, we crossed the millennium and entered the 21st century.

2000, April 5.

According to the observatory, planets such as Venus have begun to exhibit unusual trajectories, and it is speculated that a rare planetary alignment, occurring only once every thirty years, is about to occur.

The specific time will be around May 20th.

Given the impact of the Grand Cross planetary event more than six months ago, another major astronomical anomaly has now appeared, and one can imagine how those who know about it will react.

Especially with the gradual development of the Internet, the emergence of the global village, the speed of information dissemination, and the increase in channels, it has become increasingly difficult to block information.

The news that the seven stars would align on May 20th quickly spread across the internet and reached the world.

This time, however, people had experience.

The cultists and ambitious individuals who wanted to cause trouble were directly and forcefully suppressed by local authorities who were well-prepared. Except for some chaotic regions or countries with weak governments, they did not cause much of a stir.

At this moment, secret agencies from several countries, led by the United States, quietly came together.

However, it wasn't solely about the Candy Hill incident.

Previously, due to the unusual phenomena, the ancient gods in the underground that the Administration had been trying to appease had become restless. This time, the Administration was worried that something unexpected might happen again, so it summoned people from the mystical realms of several other countries as a precaution.

Of course, discussing the matter of Candy Hill was also a key point.

There was no way around it; the losses and impact caused by Candy Mountain were too great. All three of the Bureau's divine descendants were lost, along with church personnel and a large number of troops. Even now, a large number of troops are still stationed there for defense.

Furthermore, considering the timing of the Sugar Mountain incident, it coincides with the astronomical anomaly of the Grand Cross planetary alignment...

The United States is now discussing with other countries whether to classify Sugar Mountain as a special entity on par with ancient underground gods, requiring annual sacrifices and appeasement.

This is a major issue concerning global security.

However, as we all know, aside from visible dangers that might unite humanity, the central theme of human narratives is always internal strife...

This incident didn't happen in other countries, but rather in the United States, a country currently enjoying great popularity and attracting envy.

Ever since.

As a result, the countries discussed the matter for two months without reaching a conclusion.

Time passed as they argued and bickered.

May 20th has finally arrived.

Saturday.

Suitable for weddings, ancestral worship, consecration ceremonies, praying for blessings, praying for offspring, moving out of a house, moving into a new house, etc.

Avoid these activities: setting up a tent, starting construction, burial, encoffining, opening a business, or opening a market.

Under the observation of astronomical institutions in various countries.

In the universe, massive celestial bodies have quietly shifted their trajectories over this period of time, beginning to converge into a straight line.

When the time came to twelve o'clock.

At this moment, planets such as Venus finally aligned with Earth.

The seven stars aligned... Success!

Then--

12:30, 1:00, 2:00... Nothing happened.

The planets, including Venus, also began to move again, and the alignment of the seven planets gradually dissipated.

Everyone on the official team breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, this time there were no strange occurrences like last time.

On Earth, apart from a small number of religious groups and ambitious individuals, most people cheered. Although life wasn't great, it was at least generally peaceful. If an apocalypse or chaos were to occur, it would be a scenario that most people would not want to see.

but.

What astronomical telescopes cannot observe is—

in the universe.

A spherical, golden, luminous body slowly stretched out from its curled-up state and returned to human form.

Louis slowly opened his eyes.

A milky white light condensed in his eyes. As soon as he opened them, the milky white light quickly spread around his body, covering the golden light and transforming into a soft white light.

The white light appeared gentle, but it was actually domineering. The surrounding darkness seemed to be covered, but in reality, it was completely swallowed up, exuding an intense sense of pressure.

"There is a big difference between divine power, the power of the Yang God, and magical power."

Looking at the white radiance covering his entire body, Louis said this, his voice echoing strangely in the vacuum.

He still stands tall in the universe.

Feeling the condensation of the rules within his heart, Louis closed his eyes again.

After several months of sorting, the gray hexagonal crystal in His mind, that is, His divine spark, has finally been completely condensed, and with the help of the power of the seven stars aligned, His final divine office has also been condensed in His heart.

Divinity is a status in the world, a position in the eyes of the world, and the qualification of an administrator.

The clergy are a more specific division of positions and scope of authority.

This is just a general concept. In reality, both have many more uses and are not just administrators managing the world.

However, these are things that the gods themselves need to figure out.

In addition, there are also different ranks among the gods, although the hierarchy is not strict, it is still quite rigorous.

Aside from the subdivision of gods within a pantheon, such as racial gods and professional gods, the original orthodox gods recognized by the world are roughly divided into three ranks: righteous gods, chief gods, and god kings.

Furthermore, due to differences in the size, duties, and rank of the pantheons, their strengths also vary.

And because His object of theft was God.

He was already at the level of a main god as soon as he acquired godhood, and he was not weak at all; he was considered a demon god who was close to the pseudo-demon king level.

In particular, due to his divine position, his actual combat strength has directly surpassed the level of a demon god and reached the level of a pseudo-demon king. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his divine status was holding him back, this divine position would have been fully qualified to push him to the level of a god king!

Because this divine office is called—Doomsday.

It governs areas such as those affected by natural disasters, destruction, and death.

In the heart.

Strands of rule chains constantly moved and intertwined, and these rule chains combined into a thicker and finer rule chain. This is the manifestation of the various divine offices. The Doomsday Divine Office is composed of a part of the divine offices such as natural disasters, destruction, and death, and can be considered a semi-higher divine office.

Its true highest position is actually one of God's most important divine duties—the destruction of the world.

Theoretically speaking, the God of Annihilation is one of the most powerful God-King level divine offices, and may even have surpassed the God-King level—this is Louis's speculation.

Unfortunately, they lacked the necessary strength.

There's no way to achieve success overnight.

The only way to seize the divine authority of world destruction is through scheming, step by step.

just now.

With his god-like status and doomsday divine authority, he can already be considered a true god in this world.

Ascension to godhood, successful!
……

but.

Although he succeeded in ascending to godhood, it also gave Louis a new idea.

He was certain of one thing.

God doesn't know what happened.

There was really no response!

Even with the rituals covering it up, they had all received important priesthoods, so it was impossible for them not to notice anything, but the fact is they didn't.

Louis's audacious act of usurping the Doomsday priesthood proved his guess to be correct.

God is really in trouble.

I don't know what exactly happened to God, but the only thing I'm sure of is that God is no longer involved, so I can boldly improve myself.

Thinking of this.

Louis smiled slightly.

The white radiance all over its body began to fade, gradually revealing a gray color filled with destruction and despair.

As the gray light faded, Louis's appearance had changed dramatically.

A gray silk robe, depicting scenes of volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, thunderstorms, plagues, and war, was draped over Louis. A crown also appeared on his head, with several scenes engraved on it.

It is a short story from the Bible.

The Eye of Sodom, which punishes the world by turning them into pillars of salt.

This is a divine artifact formed from divine power, crafted by Louis at the end of the ceremony. It was chosen from the story of God and then crafted into a divine artifact.

It can cause biological salinization, and can also be used to unleash other natural disasters. Furthermore, if there is enough divine power, it can even be used to create one's own angel of death.

It has many ingenious uses.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy.

Everything requires divine power.

Aside from the most basic divine power and some abilities, the use of any power related to divine office requires the consumption of divine power, just like software and hardware need energy to operate.

As for Louis's divine power...

Louis experienced the divine power.

Inside the gray hexagonal crystal, the gray liquid was as calm as water, with only three thin markings.

Louis divided the current total divine power into one hundred increments according to his own understanding, because most of the stolen divine power was used to condense divine status and help condense divine authority, as well as to leave a backup plan for Sugar Mountain.

Currently, not much divine power remains within the divine essence.

However, just like purchasing power, although divine power is small, it is very durable. One unit of divine power is enough to cause dozens of natural disasters.

Moreover, because of the previous planetary Grand Cross anomaly, many people on Earth, especially Christians, are now filled with fear and trepidation.

With just a gentle push, one's mind can be shaken.

Next, as long as he proclaims his ascension to godhood to the world, he can directly turn a portion of Christians against him, thereby gaining a large number of believers and continuously obtaining divine power.

Presumably, Christianity wouldn't mind, after all, they've split several times already, and I am, after all, the true God!

This can be considered as establishing a separate branch!

However, according to basic psychology, the ascension to godhood reflects the believer's soul, so the face cannot be directly revealed; it needs to be kept mysterious and ambiguous.

Then, combined with the already arranged [Sun God] system and manpower...

A jumble of thoughts swirled within me.

After a while, Louis opened his eyes again.
