From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 43 The Sacred Relic of Wish Power and the Immense Return

Obstruction is not the end, but rather the true unfolding of the opponent's power.

As the Lamer feather fully entered his body, Martin, experiencing this sensation for the second time, gradually found what he should do under Angus's care and guidance.

He could feel that the power within his body had a kind of control over the "wind," and if he could, he could create another gust of wind by waving his hand.

But now he knows he can't be so reckless; he has to stop this disaster from spreading further.

So he raised his hand again, and a strange power surged from his hand, slowly and gradually merging into the tornado, causing the storm to gradually shrink.

This weakening didn't seem fast to him, but to outsiders it appeared exceptionally rapid.

The towering tornado gradually shrank until the air pressure between heaven and earth finally returned to normal, and the thick column of wind finally disappeared.

The overcast sky gradually dissipated, the sun peeked out, and illuminated the mess.

"Phew!" A soft sigh rang in the ears of every viewer.

They wanted to find the person who was sighing, only to discover that everyone was sighing, a sound of heavy relief.

"Clean up the scene, block the news, and get this damn message to Golden Retriever!" Newland said, clutching his head and reluctantly issuing the order, "All our subsequent operations are halted and placed on hold!"

In fact, they were still fighting each other during that period!

The death of Jerón and the ongoing city siege are proof of this.

Since neither side has given up yet, the stalemate continues. At this point, any retreat would be seen as a sign of weakness!
But today's events made Newland realize that he could no longer hold on!

This damned alien god, this spreading natural disaster, has temporarily thwarted all his ambitions.

"Why is it all in California? What is it here that deserves the attention of those gods?" he wondered silently.

No one could give him an answer, so he could only continue to bury himself in the work of managing the city.

After a major disaster, there will inevitably be a major epidemic. Although they may not care about the lives of ordinary people, it is not only ordinary people who are in danger in this disaster, but also many wealthy people.

Moreover, these people have wider access to information and are able to learn more about the details of the battle more quickly, which means he will encounter even more trouble next!

Of course, Newland wasn't entirely unprepared; Caroline, who had already returned to Los Angeles, was a big gift he gave to these guys!
The scene then shifts back to the present, where Angus and Caroline get out of the car and run into an acquaintance.

"Agent Gao, what are you doing here?" Angus asked curiously, looking at the man.

They hadn't seen each other since they parted ways in the town of Vespuchi, and now they were meeting again!

“Father Angus!” Gao said with a smile, “I am now the commissioner in charge of the main affairs here, the director of the California Special Affairs Division! Thank you for coming and helping us resolve this crisis!”

Angus waved his hand and said, "It was all the Lord's instruction. I was just following the Lord's will!"

Everyone prayed together: "Almighty Lord, Amen!"

After they finished praying, they went to see Martin, who had been brought back from the front lines. They could see that the young man looked exhausted and powerless.

But when he saw Angus, a smile still appeared on his face. "I've completed my mission, Father! It's just a pity... Feather seems to have exhausted its power!"

Looking at the feather he offered, Angus was silent for a moment, then nodded. "It's alright, child! You saved this city, you did the right thing!"

In fact, this was Angus's original idea: a feather that only had the appearance but no extraordinary power was the one he was meant to deliver.

But that's all for later; right now, he has to protect Martin in front of him. So, the priest softly murmured from the Bible, letting the light from the cross in his hand shine upon the young man before him.

This scene was witnessed by many members of the military and police forces, and it successfully calmed their emotions.

They didn't actually know who the main enemy was today; their superiors had only told them that it was a supervillain similar to those in movies.

Now, they have seen the extraordinary person on their side, the gentle priest, whose image puts them at ease.

At least for now, we're safe, aren't we?
……

Right there in the military camp, Bai Yang looked at the group of people talking and saw the combatants still thinking about what had happened before. He knew that his plan had succeeded.

This disaster achieved his goal: to spread the message of the extraordinary far and wide.

"After this, news about the extraordinary will no longer be a secret on the dark web, but will become the hottest topic of conversation in this city!" he said.

Alvin appeared at the opportune moment, "This was all part of your plan, Your Majesty!"

"Of course, after expending so much effort, it would be a huge loss if we didn't get this kind of return!" Bai Yang said with a smile. "Alvin, summarize the losses!"

"Your Majesty, a total of six points of divine power were consumed, specifically for controlling the direction of the cumulonimbus clouds, controlling the power of the tornadoes, and controlling the form of the rain!" Alvin said. "To be specific, the consumption of the disguised god was very high!"

"The 46,000 points of willpower were mainly used for spreading the message among the people, transmitting the message, and modifying the information. We invested a lot of willpower to make more people believe in our design!"

"Deceiving missiles, bullets, and various shells does not consume a lot of energy. Even with missiles, deceiving them before they reach their destination and preventing them from exploding requires very little willpower!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang nodded in satisfaction. "And what about the returns?"

"The initial resurrection of Jerome and the incarnation of the wind yielded 110,000 units of wish power. The subsequent creation of gods and the war of gods, as well as the participation of this boy named Martin, yielded 160,000 units of wish power!" Alvin explained. "There is still a lot of wish power that is yet to be released, and it is not included in the count for the time being!"

Bai Yang knew what this meant; many people, having not personally experienced a crisis, were not really able to believe it.

Because of the policy of keeping the people ignorant and the spread of misinformation, even those who are involved themselves may become less steadfast after being guided by certain media outlets and spokespeople.

The power of aspiration generated by such a person is false. It may be useful, but once others stop believing in it, its use will have serious consequences.

It could even deplete his own willpower and turn some of his plans from real to fake!
Bai Yang, of course, would not accept this, so he directly excluded Alvin from the calculation.

Just then, he saw the cross on Angus's chest and the power of will stored within it, and he was somewhat surprised: "Wow, it's been so long since I've seen it, the power of will stored on this cross is almost over ten thousand points!"

Alvin examined the cross for a moment, then said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, your first attempt has resulted in the creation of a relic imbued with the power of lies!"

They mentioned before that if certain objects are used as carriers of "lies," then certain willpower will be attached to them.

Now, with the increase of willpower, that ability to turn the abstract into reality is gradually manifesting on the cross.

He came to Angus's side and slowly observed the cross. As his will deepened, he discovered the function of the cross!

"Wow, is this cross the first autonomous sacred object?" Bai Yang asked curiously, sensing the extraordinary nature of the cross. Under the guidance of the power of will, it had already gained the ability to glimpse certain true powers!

"It is a sacred object, but it is not autonomous, Your Majesty!" Alvin said with a smile. "You are its primary authority; as for them, they merely have the right to use it!"

Bai Yang tapped his fingers. "This is a good thing! Something that could potentially change the course of our actions and the ecosystem!"

He seemed to have thought of something and fell into thought.
