From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 381 Slaves to Desire

"Of course it's not that simple—it's just that they're not listening right now!" Bai Yang said casually. "The extraordinary are right in front of us, who can really listen? Impossible, they won't listen!"

He also heard their questions and even provided answers.

Alvin commented, "Your Majesty, they all know that there are serious problems with this matter, but no one chooses to expose them because they all crave extraordinary power from this place!"

This is human nature, and this is also a test for Bai Yang.

In fact, if these people choose to stop, they will take the extraordinary power they have gained back to their own countries and become the elite of this era.

This is the best path, and it is the reward that Poplar gives to the "restrained," just as always.

Those who can control their desires are suited to become extraordinary individuals.

Unfortunately, such a person does not exist, or perhaps such a person may exist, but still has to succumb to the "desires" of the group.

“Since they failed this test of desire, they must bear the consequences and become slaves to their desires!” Bai Yang finally said. “I originally thought that at least one or two people would choose to leave, but it seems that no one is willing to go!”

He has presented a lot of information very clearly to this group of people, allowing them to clearly see the cause and effect of this matter, as well as the horror hidden in this information.

The ancient curses, lost ships, and the deaths of extraordinary beings are all clear indications, but unfortunately, lured by enormous profits, no one chooses to give them up.

“Then let’s take responsibility!” Bai Yang said finally. “Where are the people from the Vatican?”

"Pope Mario has boarded a plane to São Paulo. The appearance of the American supernatural has shaken the Vatican's base in South America, so he's here!" Alvin said.

As a leading figure in liberation theology and a member of the Jesuit order in South America, Mario certainly could not allow his core group of believers to waver.

The Vatican has never said it would abandon South America, not even in the public dialogue between Jesus and the Sun God.

"Very good, all the actors are here, let them perform for a while!" Bai Yang said softly, with the ships of various countries already in a frenzy beneath their feet.

……

The moment the blood-red cross slowly rose, bringing with it gold and all sorts of extraordinary treasures, the people of the entire sea went mad!

Looking at these things, all that remained in their eyes was an intense, almost overwhelming desire.

After all, the people on these ships had lived with the "superhumans" day and night, and they knew clearly that these people who now seemed incredibly powerful were just ordinary people like them a few days ago.

But with the help of luck or power, they obtained that extraordinary item, thus acquiring this power that could almost overturn the world!
Under such circumstances, everyone would naturally think, "If I could get it, I could too," so when they saw these extraordinary items appear, everyone's eyes lit up.

Because this area is full of corals and reefs, large ships cannot pass through, so everyone is using their own unique methods!
They either steered their boats closer or jumped off, all in an effort to get a little closer to these extraordinary objects.

This is not an exaggeration at all, because it wasn't just people on one ship doing this; it was everyone doing it!
They were fed up with the idea that only one person could obtain superhuman power. They wanted to become superhuman themselves, because in this world, becoming superhuman often meant everything!
This fervor even influenced many people who hadn't yet made a choice; seeing those around them jump, they instinctively followed suit.

Because they discovered that the treasures on that pile of gold were not unlimited, but rather only a small amount. If the first group took them all, then they would have no hope left!

So more people started jumping down, swimming towards the "treasure" in the middle, getting closer to the "extraordinary power" they were looking forward to.

This action left the extraordinary individuals within these forces somewhat bewildered. "So impatient? So eager?"

No one answered, because everyone else had already gone into the water.

They got their answer: yes, the allure of the extraordinary was so irresistible… If they weren't extraordinary, they might have been even more eager. But things didn't unfold as the onlookers had predicted, beginning in the Windless Graveyard and ending with everyone gaining the extraordinary.

They looked at the gold and the "extraordinary items" displayed on top of it, regretting that they weren't there to get their hands on the items and become extraordinary themselves.

They seem to have forgotten that this is the "Windless Graveyard," a place that should belong to the "Jedi" even in the worldview of the extraordinary. Why is it so calm and peaceful?
"Glug glug..." Before anyone knew it, two people in the crowd swimming towards the "extraordinary" had started bubbling.

Soon, they disappeared into the sea and never resurfaced.

This is not the end, but rather a new beginning.

The disappearance of the two people went unnoticed, but when two people kept disappearing, they realized something was wrong!
"Wait, why are there so many fewer people?" The people behind the camera were the first to notice something was wrong, and then they guided the camera to film behind the crowd.

The crimson sea seemed to signify misfortune, and the now sparse crowd, compared to the bustling throng at the beginning, was even more eye-catching!

However, this reduction in personnel did not frighten those who came to the platform. Their eyes were only on those "extraordinary" creations, so they scrambled toward them like a group of treasure hunters, crawling through a treasure trove.

The fervor in everyone's eyes only intensified when the first person touched a dazzling-looking longsword and it flashed across the sea!
Sure enough, this is an extraordinary item, and this is the extraordinary power they want to obtain!
More people followed suit and climbed ashore, searching for the "extraordinary creations" placed on the pile of gold.

The enormous amount of gold that would normally attract everyone's attention now seems to be just an extra to these extraordinary items, and no one pays any attention to it, whether they are present or watching on screen.

Those who had just noticed the number of people had decreased discovered a new problem: "Sigh, the remaining people can each take one extraordinary item!"

"Was it planned out in advance?"

It wasn't just one person who noticed this, nor was it just one person who discovered it. The area in front of the previously noisy and chaotic blood-red cross suddenly fell silent. Everyone was touching their supernatural items, but no one made a sound.

It's like... they suddenly stopped talking!

Nick, who was closest to the problem, was the first to notice it. He suddenly sensed something was wrong and steered the huge sea beast beneath him toward the blood-red cross.

However, he was restrained before he could even reach the cross.

At some point, the cross, which appeared to be made of red coral, fell down and blocked Nick's way.

“Don’t meddle in other people’s business, Odin’s apostle. Didn’t you hear this teaching when you inherited his power?” The person closest to the cross turned around and said to Nick.

His indifferent words made people stare at him in horror!
His face appeared on camera for the first time. The man who had just been jumping around happily no longer had a face, only a "faceless man" face with only a mouth left!
This face sends chills down the spine of everyone who sees it!

As he spoke, the remaining people, holding their extraordinary items, turned around, allowing him to see the faces of these people.

Like the person just now, they had also lost their faces, leaving only faceless faces and blinking mouths.

When? What just happened?
The same question echoed in everyone's mind: they had been watching the scene closely the entire time, relying on drones and high-speed cameras on the ship, without blinking once, so how did these people end up like this?

As all the "superhumans" turned around and opened their mouths, they uttered their final words: "This is the Windless Graveyard. Can you guess why it's called that?"

"Who told you that there were extraordinary opportunities here? Was it the dead sailors? Was it the distorted records? Or was it yourselves?"

"You slaves to your desires?"

The merciless mockery, tinged with a condescending disdain, stirred up everyone's emotions!
