There's a skeleton dungeon connected to my basement.

Chapter 452, The Whip of the Gods

No one knows exactly what happened that day.

The joyous celebrations continue.

Today is a good day.

Churches opened their doors wide, and white holy bread was thrown in unlimited quantities onto the people passing by on the street.

Even the beggars in the city were able to share in some of the gifts during this grand celebration.

Pick up the food that has fallen to the ground.

Kneeling before the statue of the god, they prostrated themselves in devout worship, their blackened hands clutching the white dough.

"Great God!"

"Great God!"

The outskirts of the industrial zone.

Amidst the celebrations.

No one noticed.

The sky began to tremble.

No, it's not that nobody noticed.

Those powerful figures, those patriarchs.

He looked up in alarm.

The outer layer of this world.

Those dazzling stars.

That's nothing else.

The territories of various gods.

"The Kingdom of God."

At this moment, the brightest star.

The light began to dim.

"Like a light bulb that's constantly being switched on and off, blinking on and off."

The starship, which had just been salvaged from the junkyard, slunk away and began to give way.

This situation instilled great fear in those powerful and influential people.

They decided to do something.

Arguments took place in the capital of this vast kingdom.

Actually, Xiao Yang is very easy to talk to.

Even at the very end, these guys were unwilling to easily accept the two proposals he offered.

The dimming of the stars in the sky and the tremors in the divine kingdom are ultimately still somewhat distant.

Compared to the magic energy workshops that were now booming and spewing out gold coins right in front of him, this was a stark contrast.

After much arguing, they finally decided to do it this way.

“Build a statue of Xiao Yang and worship him as a god.”

this…….

"That's a great idea!"

………….

One after another, somewhat unfamiliar, towering statues were rapidly erected in this vast city.

The entire structure is modeled after the hero statue in the center of the City of Hope.

"A tall figure, ferocious armor, an arm raised high, and a handsome face under the mask."

I made some modifications.

That slightly comical, stiff smile was removed.

His expression changed to a stern, unsmiling calm.

Industrial zone.

A newly erected statue of a hero brought a brief halt to construction.

Dark-skinned workers emerged from the magic workshop, which resembled a sardine can.

"Today is a good day!"

"A great hero has come to our world!"

"You can rest for the morning!"

"Thank the great heroes!"

A priest dressed in a white robe was ready.

He tossed the holy bread in his hand down to the bewildered group of people in front of him.

"Hurrah!"

"Hurrah!"

"For the great heroes!"

At this moment, many people genuinely began to cheer.

Why not.

Now we have free pancakes to eat, and we don't have to work.

That's already quite good.

It's time to start cheering.

A small, dark-skinned boy was biting hard into the flatbread in his hand, while curiously peeking up at the ground.

He wanted to see what this suddenly appearing great hero looked like.

But before he could actually raise his head...

A slap landed on his head.

"You can't look at those Your Majesties like that!"

Stern words rang out.

"Okay, Mom!"

A pitiful voice followed.

"It seems he's become a guy who truly carries everything on his shoulders."

It has to be said, this version is really quite handsome. If Xiao Yang saw it, he would probably both like and dislike it.

"I like my handsome appearance."

"I don't like my handsome appearance."

In the City of Hope, even though the crowds always stand beneath that hero's statue, some people still can't help but cover their mouths and smile when they see it for the first time.

And here, beneath these newly erected statues.

There were only people who were confused and yet subconsciously dared not look directly at the stone statue.

Soon, as the celebrations came to an end, people's lives gradually returned to normal.

Of course, this applies to those who know nothing.

Those who know a little bit about it.

The powerful and influential people who had gathered in the capital were still waiting anxiously.

A banquet was being prepared.

But until the stars in the sky stopped trembling and gradually regained their brightness, that stern-faced figure never appeared on the field again.

All that remained were the patriarchs whose expressions changed drastically upon receiving the message bestowed upon them by the gods.

Changes began to occur.

For example, the wealthy merchants who dealt in arsenic, the court sorcerers, and the nobles.

They were all whipped by the same group of guys.

One by one, the gods lash out at their followers, and then these followers lash out at the powerful and wealthy.

This is a very peculiar scene.

A top-down transformation has begun.

Many somewhat awkward words, which are particularly unfamiliar to people around the world, have appeared.

[Statutory holidays, disability allowance, and positions suitable for children]

These things appeared out of thin air.

It was very abrupt, but it was implemented nonetheless.

But it's not surprising.

Everything changed because of one person's will.

These things should have been gradually improved as times progressed.

Everything progresses from barbarism to civilization.

But Xiao Yang abruptly interrupted this process and forced it to change according to his own ideas.

It's hard to say whether such behavior is good or bad.

But one thing is for sure.

"At least they didn't do nothing."

Follow up.

Xiao Yang will send personnel from the City of Hope to these outer worlds.

He certainly wouldn't stop at such an awkward insertion.

As the decaying land is continuously restored, more and more resources are produced in the process.

A massive cycle will eventually connect the displaced and the city of hope.

This is an advancement in productivity.

Then came the real change.

However, this will have to be done step by step.

of course.

Even Xiao Yang was this tough.

However, all of that being pushed forward cannot be implemented so easily.

"Give money to those poor wretches? No way! Absolutely not!"

The indignant guy waved his arms and said this.

Then the patriarchs of those gods rushed into the room, wielding wooden flails and smashing them down on him.

The existence of gods has both advantages and disadvantages.

But one thing is certain.

"You can secretly despise someone, or even be a transgressor, that's fine, the gods can't watch over everyone."

"But if you openly disobey, the whip will really fall!"

Amidst the frenzied whipping.

This newly minted tycoon changed his mind.

"I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Great God! I am willing, I am willing to obey!"

In such words.

The whipping stopped.

The priest, who had just been looking ferocious and menacing, suddenly became kind.

He pulled this somewhat obese businessman up with one hand.

May the gods protect you!

Shortly after.

Wait until these kind and benevolent religious education teams leave.

The wealthy businessman began to curse and swear.

"Didn't I just hire an epic warrior? Where is he?! I'm firing him!"

open the door.

He met the gaze of a burly man with a bruised and swollen face who was being hoisted high up.

Okay, now there's no need to look anymore, he knows where his bodyguard is.

It must be said that these high and mighty guys are indeed the most effective at monopolizing this world.

"Violence."
