Chapter 279 The Power of Faith, the Birth of an Old God! (8K views, please vote with double monthly tickets)
Countless warriors of the Death Legion awoke from the darkness, their bodies rising frame by frame like a stop-motion comic, until they became death warriors exuding an eerie and terrifying aura.

Their eye sockets, devoid of pupils, glowed green as they stood silently, but Carol and the others could tell that they had regained their soul power.

Every warrior of death was paying homage to their queen.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Heavy footsteps sounded, and a giant wolf walked gracefully to the group. It slowly lowered its head, its eyes filled with deep affection.

"My sweetheart, I miss you so much!"

Hela and her two sisters simultaneously reached out and touched the giant wolf.

The giant wolf's eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. Why had its master become three? But it still licked the hands of the three sisters one by one, and finally lay down in front of them.

Hela from Universe 838 turned to look at Jacob and the others.

Jacob stared at the skeletal soldiers with their green eyes, and even though he had lived for thousands of years, his legs trembled.

However, he still mustered his courage and walked up to the giant wolf. The Holy Source in his hand suddenly emitted a blue-white light, which quickly connected with each of the death warriors. Soon, these death warriors began to twist their bodies frame by frame, just like in a stop-motion comic.

This time, however, their mummified bodies were filling out at a visible rate.

"They're alive! My legion is alive! I've missed you all so much!"

Hela watched the legion of the dead transform from undead to living beings, and could no longer suppress the smile on her lips.

The Thor brothers and the Loki brothers no longer had any fear or wariness towards their eldest sister; they were genuinely happy!
With the Death Legion in Asgard and the strengthened Asgardian people, how can Ragnarok be expected?
The soldiers of the Death Legion stared at their bodies in disbelief. When they saw their flesh and blood spring back to life from their withered state, they roared excitedly to the sky.

When they discovered they could actually make sounds, they couldn't help but burst into tears. But when they discovered they could also cry, they all knelt down in excitement: "Thank you, Goddess, for giving us a new life."

Hela and her two sisters laughed heartily: "It wasn't me who gave you new life, it was my man, the future King of Asgard, Lord Winston!"

"Lord Wenming?"

Many of the death warriors were somewhat puzzled, but they still respectfully greeted him, "Thank you, Lord Wenming!"

Just as all the legion members were overjoyed, a spatial rift suddenly opened up around them.

The three Hela sisters were stunned for a moment, then realized who it was.

"Hello, death!"

Hello, Hela!

Death emerged from the spatial rift, her gaze sweeping over the numerous death warriors before settling on the divine source held in Jacob's hand.

"Is Wen Ming up to something again? Where is he?"

Death scanned the area but found no trace of Wen Ming, so he turned his attention to Qing Hou.

Thor and Loki from the main universe are seeing Death for the first time. Although they don't know her, they have both heard about the previous confrontation between Wenming and Death, so they are aware of her power.

Seeing the other party's arrogant attitude, Thor from Universe 838 couldn't help but want to step forward to stand up for his sister, but Thor from the main universe quickly grabbed him and Loki, saying, "Don't move."

Thor from Universe 838 frowned, quite dissatisfied with how timid and hesitant Thor from the main universe had become.

How could someone like Thor possibly become the God of Thunder?

I am Thor!
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared beside them: "Honorable Death, welcome to Asgard."

Thor and Loki felt a warmth in their hearts, while Hela and her two sisters looked at the aged yet sturdy figure with complicated emotions.

"Hello, Odin."

Death, seeing Odin, slightly toned down his arrogance: "Your daughter is up to something."

Odin looked at the many dead warriors around him who had fully recovered, and then at the divine source in Jacob's hand: "I know that the souls are under your control, but Hela is also our Asgardian goddess of death. She has her own Helheim, a rule that has existed since the birth of the Nine Worlds."

Death sneered, "But your arbitrary resurrection of living beings is a challenge to my authority."

The three Hela sisters frowned, but did not get angry.

They are different now than before.

In the past, they would have been determined to face death head-on, even knowing they would be defeated and die a horrible death.

Now, they are all incredibly stable thanks to Wen Ming's training.

They would never declare war on death without absolute certainty.

“I know, but you also know that Ragnarok is coming.”

Odin smiled slightly: "These soldiers are simply returning to their homeland before they die, to reunite with their wives and children one last time."

Death's eyes stared intently at Odin: "A reunion after decades?"

“It’s not that long, after all, the lifespan of us Asgardians is several thousand years.” Odin said in a very down-to-earth manner. “Besides, they weren’t completely dead to begin with; they were just sealed away by me and put into a deep sleep.”

Death was utterly speechless. She looked at Hela in Universe 838 and said, "Send Wenming to see me!"

Hela shrugged: "He has something very important to do right now. If it weren't so important, he would definitely come to witness this resurrection ceremony in person."

Death revealed a skeletal smile: "Did he guess I would come, which is why he didn't dare to come?"

The three Hela sisters were stunned for a moment before realizing that, given Wen Ming's personality, it was indeed possible.

No wonder he came up with such a lame excuse just now.

Does that little alien thing really need you, Lord of All Realms, to personally intervene?
Thor from the main universe patted Thor from universe 838 on the shoulder: "See that? That's what you call steady! Wen Ming is just too steady!"

The gaze of death swept over him, but Thor in the main universe hadn't noticed yet. He was about to continue instilling the concept of "stability" in his little brother in universe 838 when Loki and his brother kicked him at the same time. He was stunned for a moment and quickly stopped talking.

Ugh, I'm so unsteady!
They actually betrayed Wen Ming!

I didn't mean to, I'll definitely be more careful next time!

Even death is speechless.

That Wen Ming is too mischievous.

"Are you planning to do the same in the main universe?"

"Yes."

Hela from the main universe nodded and said, "We're prepared to take a gamble, even though we know we'll die."

"Fine, I'm going to die sooner or later anyway. But tell Wen Ming he owes me one! No, two!"

The half-skull face of death looked at Qing Hou: "Make him think of how to compensate me."

Qinghou smiled sweetly: "The boss definitely doesn't owe you anything. Hela did all of this."

Hela immediately nodded: "Yes, I did it, so I'm the one who owes you."

Death was furious: "I told you, it's Wen Ming who owes me!"

Qinghou shrugged: "Our boss didn't come."

Death Points to the Divine Source: "Do you believe I can just take this thing away?"

Qinghou nodded: "I believe you. If you take it, you'll owe the boss one, no, two."

Death laughed in exasperation: "Why do I have a feeling that Wen Ming was just waiting for me to take this thing?"

Qinghou shook her head violently: "How could that be? The boss only lent the things to Princess Hela for use, and she had to pay for them."

According to the hotel's rules, Princess Hela of Universe 838 and the main universe each owe ten Asgardian mines.

He didn't know you would come.

The Hela sisters nodded again: "That's right, I signed the agreement, so this has nothing to do with Wen Ming."

Upon hearing this, Loki from the main universe immediately became anxious: "You sold Asgard to Wenming?"

Loki from Universe 838 also started shouting, "Big sister, Father isn't dead yet! How can you sell off Asgard's assets so cheaply?"

Although Thor in the main universe didn't know why they suddenly started arguing, he had recently become a bit "smarter," so he joined in the argument: "That's right, I get a share of these 10 mines too!"

Thor from Universe 838 was completely stunned.

Why are they suddenly arguing about dividing the inheritance?

Our dad is still standing here!
Should I also give it a shot?

……

"Shut up!"

Death felt a headache coming on; she hadn't been this angry in millions of years. She looked at Odin, Hela and her two sisters, and Loki and his brother: "I will personally come to take your souls away!"

With that, she tore open a spatial rift and disappeared.

"Hahaha! After our souls die, they will only enter Valhalla, the Hall of Heroes in Asgard!"

Hela and her two sisters, Loki and his brother, and Thor from the main universe laughed happily.

Thor from Universe 838 had absolutely no idea what they were laughing at, but since everyone was laughing, he decided to laugh too!

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Odin looked at the group and shook his head: "That is death; you must respect her."

Hela from Universe 838 nodded and said, "I know, but Asgard's death was originally my prerogative, and she has no right to interfere!"

Hela in the main universe clenched her fists: "She has crossed the line."

Odin was silent for a moment, then said, "Be careful, don't anger her, or Ragnarok will come sooner than expected!"

"Twilight of the Gods..."

The group of people who were laughing all stopped laughing.

The Thor brothers and the Loki brothers looked at Hela and her two sisters.

Even the eldest sister has been reformed by Wen Ming, so why is there still Ragnarok?

Who will be the enemy this time?
……

"Will something bad happen?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Let's continue, don't stop, one more."

"Oh dear, you've set the target again!"

"Who told you to take my cards like that?"

"Can you please stop punishing me? I've lost ten games in a row!"

"I think you did it on purpose."

……

On Paradise Island, inside a hot spring cave, two Queens Hippolyta and two Friggas are happily playing mahjong.

Wen Ming sat quietly to the side as an audience member.

Regardless of who wins, he will conscientiously step forward to distribute the reward.

He was well aware of what was happening in Asgard, but that didn't stop him from happily handing out rewards.

Frigga from Universe 838 was initially reserved, but she quickly became immersed in the joy.

"I never imagined you could play mahjong like this! This is so much fun!"

"Come often if you like to play, or we can organize regular games. This place has been reinforced with a magical barrier by the Ancient One, so even Zeus cannot see through it."

Here, we can happily spend some quality time as sisters.

Queen Hippolyta, holding Frigg's hand from Universe 838, said meaningfully, "We are women first, and we have to make ourselves happy."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll come often."

Frigga from Universe 838 nodded repeatedly. This place was indeed unforgettable, especially when she and Frigga from the main universe held hands. The joy she felt was so great that it could make the powerful witch's soul leave her body.

"You should have come to find me sooner."

"It's not too late now. Oh, right, I'll have to give you another injection of the super soldier serum later."

"Super Soldier Serum?"

"Yes, the Super Soldier Serum suitable for the Vanir can increase our strength by at least four times. This Super Soldier Serum was personally formulated by Wen Ming for our Vanir."

"Okay, then, hurry, hurry, hurry, I have to go back soon."

"Don't worry, Wen Ming is very fast."

……

In Asgard of Universe 838, an unprecedented celebration took place. Every Asgardian who had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum excitedly rushed out of the main hall, loudly thanking "Wenming".

Even though they had never met Wenming and didn't know who he was, they all truly felt the enormous changes Wenming had brought to Asgard.

What does four times the strength mean?
Thor's four henchmen, Sif, Fandral, Volstak, and Hogan, traveled directly to a Vanir battlefield via the Rainbow Bridge, where they swiftly slaughtered over a thousand enemies before returning.

"Thor, when will you take us to see that great god—Wenming?"

Four warmongers surrounded Thor, rubbing their hands excitedly.

Because they knew earlier than ordinary Asgardians that the super soldier serum they were injected with today was only version 1.0, and that there would be a version 2.0 later.

By then, my strength will be able to improve again.

"Don't rush. I've only met him once. He's busy with something very important right now."

"Let's go to the main universe first and help the people of Asgard become stronger."

Seeing his people grow stronger, Thor was overjoyed, and he gradually began to understand why Wenming had always emphasized that they should improve their strength first.

This feeling of instantly becoming stronger is just too exhilarating.

Sif and the others heard that Wen Ming was busy doing something else, and they kept guessing what was going on in their minds.

Sure enough, such a benevolent yet powerful deity must be busy redeeming even more people.

I really hope to hear his gospel in person.

This enhancement process lasted for three days and three nights before all the inhabitants of Asgard in Universe 838 were fully enhanced.

Hela and her two sisters showed no impatience whatsoever; in fact, they forced the Thor brothers and Loki brothers to sit aside and watch for three days and three nights.

Once everything was over, Hela and her two sisters brought them back to the main universe to begin strengthening the inhabitants of Asgard.

And so it went on for another three days and three nights.

Six days and six nights later, Wen Ming, who was playing mahjong with the Hippolyta sisters, the Frigg sisters, and the Meranipe sisters, suddenly shuddered. He looked in front of him in disbelief, where transparent points of light were converging.

"Wen Ming? Hurry up, don't stop, Erbing, are you going to eat or not?"

"Eat! I'll eat!" Wen Ming reached out and placed the two of the mahjong tiles in front of him. While eating, he threw out a one of the bamboo tiles and observed his own body.

It seems... it seems to have changed.

How is this going?

And this feeling is so great!

The transparent light spots continuously converged into Wen Ming's body. He could feel his strength increasing at a visible speed, and his blood seemed to be gradually stained golden as a result.

gold?

Wen Ming suddenly shuddered, and Molanipe trembled: "Ah, you, how could you fire the cannon so quickly again?"

Wen Ming said with a smile, "My hand slipped, Frigga, can you help me continue?"

Frigga from Universe 838 quickly walked up to Wen Ming, sat down slowly, and then gave him a happy smile: "It's finally my turn."

Wen Ming continued to observe the blood in his body, and when he was certain that it was gradually turning golden, he guessed an astonishing fact.

I am becoming a god.

What exactly is going on?

Isn't one's own physique unaffected by Saiyan blood, mutant blood, vampire blood, or divine blood?
How come he suddenly started acting like a god?
Wen Ming's gaze fell on Frigga's back, and a thought struck him.

In the Marvel Universe, and especially the DC Universe, there is a little-known rule:

The new god doesn't need believers, but the old god does.

The power of the new gods comes from themselves, while the power of the old gods comes from faith.

Ares, a typical DC Old God, grows stronger with the scale of the war.

The ancient gods of Marvel—Zeus and all the gods in the City of the Almighty—live by faith.

This is why, in Thor: Love and Thunder, after his prayers to his gods went unanswered and he was mocked and scorned, Gale resolutely embarked on a path of god-slaying.

Darkseid is a new god. In the comics, he not only beat up the old god Zeus, but also drained his divine power. Zeus was truly hollowed out, and then Darkseid grew up instantly.

There are two origins of the gods in the DC Universe.

One possibility is that the energy generated when the divine realm was destroyed before the flashpoint swept across the entire universe; this energy is the divine wave.

It can be said that almost all gods and superhumans in the universe were created by Godwave. The Speed ​​Force, Emotion Spectrum, Quantum Field, etc. are all products of Godwave.

The second scenario is after the flashpoint, at the dawn of time, where magic surrounds the forming multiverse.

Magic shaped itself, a girl, and its plane became the realm of the gods.

The girl visited the center of the multiverse, the DC Main Universe, where she witnessed the growth of humanity. She then began teaching humans magic.

Humans named the girl "Hecate," which means "distant" in the original language.

As humans learned magic, it triggered an evolution, giving birth to gods and the Pantheon. The realm of the gods was divided into several smaller areas inhabited by the gods.

Different pantheons tried to win Hecate's favor, all believing that Hecate was the true creator of the universe.

Ultimately, Hecate chose the Pantheon where Zeus resided and agreed to marry Zeus's brother, Hades, the god of the underworld.

That is, Hades, the DC god of the underworld, who was killed by Wen Ming.

However, Hades fell in love with another woman—Persephone, the future Queen of the Underworld—and broke off the engagement.

All the gods in the DC universe originated from Hecate, the embodiment of magic.

But whether it's the old gods of DC or the old gods of Marvel, they all need the faith of believers.

The more believers a person has, the stronger they become.

However, there is an exception: if an ordinary life form is worshipped by enough living beings, then that ordinary life form can evolve into a true god.

It's similar to the idea of ​​achieving physical sainthood.

Wen Ming wasn't sure if this was the case for him, but since his blood was starting to turn into divine blood, it was very likely because after absorbing the divine blood of Hades, the King of the Underworld, some divine elements had appeared in his body.

Then, someone started causing trouble.

Thinking of this, Wen Ming suddenly stood up. Frigga was caught off guard and almost fell over by the reckless Wen Ming: "What are you doing?"

"Oh, sorry, I have to go back."

"This lap isn't even finished yet? How come it's so fast? Hurry up, hurry up and leave?"

"Then let's speed up this lap."

……

Wen Ming hurriedly returned to the hotel and went straight to the divine beast, the White Tiger.

When the serpent saw him arrive, it quickly swam over. Wen Ming rubbed its head and then began to pray to the divine beast, the White Tiger.

A few seconds later, the divine beast white tiger emitted a soft white light, which landed on Wen Ming. The transparent light spots on his body quickly found the base camp and converged towards the white light of the divine beast white tiger.

A few minutes later, all the light spots in Wen Ming's body converged at the position of his head, and finally condensed into a white crystal the size of a pinhead.

As soon as the white crystals formed, Wen Ming felt his mind suddenly become clearer, and his use of magic became much easier.

'This is……'

Wen Ming silently observed the needle-sized white crystal. He sensed an incomparably powerful force and supreme divine might from it. He had a feeling that as long as he fully mastered these powers, he would become the king of all gods.

Hmm, it's all an illusion!
This is just a divine entity.

I am still the weakest of the gods.

He didn't even ignite his own divine fire.

Stability is essential.

I'll only consider myself somewhat accomplished when I can easily drain Zeus's divine power like Darkseid.

As his divine essence took shape, Wenming's blood turned red once more, and the transparent specks of light floating in the air spontaneously merged into his divine essence.

The divine power that Queen Himiko could previously sense was naturally absorbed into her divine essence and no longer manifested outwardly.

From then on, unless one's strength was several times that of Wen Ming, it would be impossible to discover that he had already attained godhood.

Wen Ming rubbed the Yuan Snake's head again, then walked to the center of the rooftop of Building 1 and quickly entered and exited various different multiverses.

He quickly found the source of the transparent light spot.

First, there's the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The faith from Asgard in the main universe and Asgard in universe 838, though weak, is steadily increasing.

The largest increase was in the two death legions of the Hela sisters.

Another source of faith in the Marvel Universe comes from New Mu.

The gratitude of the 600 million Pearl Clan members towards Wen Ming is growing day by day, but not as much as one might imagine.

After thinking about it carefully, Wen Ming understood what was going on.

Although he saved 600 million Pearl Clan members, they only experienced the changes brought about by technology, without truly understanding the impact of the war that wiped out their clan.

Therefore, although they have their own beliefs, they are not very strong.

Moreover, once they die according to their predetermined fate, this power of faith will immediately break.

Secondly, there is the mutant universe.

Because of the establishment of the Star Nation, countless mutants were freed from their suffering, so they greatly admired Wen Ming, the founder of the Star Nation.

Third, is the DC Universe.

The greatest source of faith in the DC Universe is Paradise Island, where transparent points of light permeate the sky. Every Amazon is devout and steadfast in their faith.

Another source of faith for the DC Universe is the numerous Joker theme parks that have already been established.

The residents around the clown park kept contributing their faith, and Wenming knew at a glance that it was Arthur and Harley who were behind it.

In addition, the DC Universe has another source of faith.

Wen Ming looked up in the direction of the entrance to the underworld on Paradise Island.

A force of faith is gathering from there into his divine nature.

Wen Ming knew without a doubt that it must be Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld; Hecate, the Goddess of the Road; and Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture.

He just didn't expect that the faith power contributed by these three goddesses was more than that of the entire Paradise Island.

Is it because they are all gods?
Do believers in deities contribute more power of faith?

However, this "more" is only relative. After all the faith power was absorbed, Wen Ming did not notice that his divine spark had become larger; it was just a little fuller than before.

It seems that faith requires both quality and quantity.

Finally, Wenming arrived in the NieR: Automata universe. The moment he arrived, he immediately felt a powerful force of faith gathering here.

"White, can you tell me what happened here?"

Wen Ming looked down at the azure planet, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Commander-in-Chief White knelt down in front of Wen Ming with a thud, her eyes filled with panic: "Boss, we didn't do anything."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

Wen Ming looked down at her, and Commander-in-Chief White immediately shut his mouth and refused to say another word.

Wen Ming was so angry that he slapped her a few times, then looked at the twins beside him, Deborah and Popolo: "You two speak, or don't expect me to grant you souls today."

This week it was A16 and the twin sisters' turn to be given souls, so Wenming's threat was very effective.

The twin sisters immediately knelt down beside Commander-in-Chief White: "We really didn't do anything."

"Didn't do anything? Then why did I see my giant statue?"

Wen Ming pointed at the abstract sculpture made of scrap steel and couldn't help but slap Commander White a few more times: "Explain yourself."

Commander White shook her head vigorously, but after seeing Wen Ming's serious gaze, she lowered her head and stammered, "Actually, we didn't really do anything. We just relayed the history of the prehistoric civilization of this planet to all the clones and told them who saved the real humans."

Their own development and exploration on the ruins confirmed the authenticity of this history.

Wen Ming shook his head: "Then why highlight me specifically? Also, didn't we say you would no longer contact them, but only protect them secretly?"

“We didn’t lie. We were just stating the facts. It was indeed you who led all the YoRHa and the androids to destroy the machine lifeforms and allow humanity to return to the surface.”

Commander-in-Chief White quietly raised his head, blinking his big eyes at Wen Ming: "We haven't fabricated a single word of history."

As for contact, it happened that an android ran out of power, and the clones discovered his existence.

Wen Ming was speechless: "What a coincidence?"

"Ah, what a coincidence."

Commander-in-Chief White nodded quickly: "You know, androids are prone to making mistakes."

"Is Harley Quinn messing around?"

Wen Ming looked at Commander-in-Chief White with suspicion, and White immediately shook his head and said, "No, definitely not, these humans all spontaneously worship you."

Wen Ming looked at the abstract statue and couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Am I that ugly?"

This stone sculpture was made of various discarded items. If Wen Ming hadn't been very familiar with himself, he wouldn't have recognized it as himself.

"Of course, they just have limited tools."

Commander-in-Chief Kuai Te noticed that Wen Ming's tone had softened and smiled, "They have already developed stone carvings, and some clones are also trying to worship you in the form of paintings or stone carvings."

Actually, we would like to help them improve it, but since you said we shouldn't interfere with their civilization's progress, I'll let them freely use their imagination regarding you.

Wen Ming nodded, preparing to leave: "Depollo, Popolo, come with me. Today it's your turn to become Neferlins."

The twin sisters were overjoyed: "Boss, can I have a drink to celebrate?"

"Of course, you can drink as much as you want after the ceremony."

Wen Ming smiled slightly. An artificial human who loves to drink is truly amazing.

Since the hotel upgrade, the number of beings who can be given souls has increased to three, so this week A16 and the Depollo sisters will be given souls.

As with the usual ritual, the three YoRHa successfully ascended to life form and became Neferlins.

As always, angels have arrived.

This time, however, the attacking angels hesitated when they saw Wen Ming.

They seemed to sense something, but quickly fixed their gazes on Wen Ming and swung their holy swords: "Heretical God! He must be destroyed!"

Wen Ming was stunned.

No, how did you sense my divinity?

As he slaughtered the angels, he turned to look at the divine beast, the white tiger.

Boss, are you sure you can handle this?
The divine beast White Tiger ignored Wen Ming, so Wen Ming had no choice but to pick up the Eternal Spear and quickly kill the angels who squeezed in through the portal, one by one.

Wen Ming originally thought that after he killed the angels this time, their angelic hearts and bodies would be devoured by the divine beast White Tiger, as usual. However, the angelic hearts were not completely devoured by the divine beast White Tiger. Instead, some of the energy of the angelic hearts was given to him.

"This is……"

Wen Ming felt that his divine essence had grown slightly larger, which surprised him as he looked at the divine beast, the White Tiger.

[To rapidly increase one's divine power, one can devour angels?]

The divine beast White Tiger responded with a positive thought, which made Wen Ming realize that the divine beast White Tiger might also possess divinity.

Did that third uncle possess divine status?
What are the differences between the path he took and the path I took?

Wenming didn't have time to think too much. After hosting a private celebration party for the Deborah and Popolo twins and A16, Wenming and Aunt Wang rushed to the Resident Evil universe.

Also traveling with them were Shana the Red-haired, Celeste the Little Cherry, Snake Eyes, Circuit Breaker Blake, Heavy Cannon Dutty, and Perkins.

Wen Ming wasn't exactly deceiving the Hela sisters before; he genuinely needed to get busy in the Resident Evil universe.

Cobra is about to break out of prison.
