Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 33 Do not be afraid, I am your god

The square was packed with people, the narrow streets were teeming with people, and the tribal settlement was enveloped in a frenzied atmosphere.

Amidst the echoing praises, Helmaenie drank the potion in one gulp. A vast and intense emotion swept over her, cleansing her consciousness and spirit. Helmaenie saw a phantom sea—

That's the ocean of the collective unconscious!

Whether it was Hermaine or Zhou Mingxiang, their consciousness seemed so insignificant in this vast and illusory ocean of collective consciousness.

Moreover, this endless "ocean" of consciousness is assimilating her existence.

The imprint of the mentor, the dragon, and an even more vast will seemed to gently embrace her, wanting her to rest peacefully here.

But at the same time, tiny "flames" kept igniting around her.

Those tiny flames all stemmed from the emotions of the tribal residents in the real world!

Clusters of flames seeped into Helmaenie's consciousness, and increasingly clear voices echoed in her ears—praises uttered in "human language":

"Believe in my Lord!"

A sense of control is gradually returning to oneself.

Helmani "felt" that she had opened her eyes.

As more and more flames gathered, Helmaenie continuously created illusory avatars of her consciousness amidst the continuous clusters of flames.

Each time these alter egos of her consciousness are born, they separate from her self-awareness and roam the ocean of the collective unconscious.

These consciousnesses, one after another, belonging to her, climbed onto the islands of the soul on the sea.

She saw the true inner world of each tribe of people!

This scene was actually a spiritual manifestation of tens of thousands of tribal people opening their hearts to her!

Her spirit is being deified.

He saw the various circumstances of humanity struggling to survive in the Dark Ages—the expectant, the gloomy, the desperate, the fanatical—and their despair or hope for the future.

Now, they are all praying to Him, praising Him, and offering their faith to Him.

He opened his eyes.

Those fears in his consciousness were deeply ingrained, and those spiritual pollutants were burned away by the ever-burning flames of his spirit. He saw the crowds praising him and felt the divine essence born within him, which was in opposition to humanity.

Divinity...

The confusion and bewilderment gradually subsided in Helmaenie's increasingly resolute eyes, as the extraordinary knowledge and abilities stemming from her "Manipulator" nature continued to surface in her mind—

"manipulate!"

"Virtual personality!"

"A Walk of Consciousness!"

"A Mind Storm!"

"A spiritual plague!"

"Dragon Transformation!"

"Mental deprivation!"

"Spiritual Breath!"

Even with a deeper understanding of the future than others, and even with a few words in the video introduction that hinted at the power of the gods, the sense of power that Helmaine possessed upon entering the demigod realm was beyond her expectations!

This power completely overwhelms the strength of Sequence Five.

At the lower and middle ranks, one can still challenge those of higher ranks through various means and combat wisdom. However, for extraordinary individuals at the lower and middle ranks to attempt to challenge a demigod of the fourth rank is virtually impossible...

At the same time, Helmaenie can sense the thoughts of every single tribesman, a range of abilities far exceeding the limits of her status as a "manipulator".

Hermaine realized that this was not a power He could hold for long—it was a lingering effect of collective prayer and His ascension in the sea of ​​collective consciousness.

This state is difficult to sustain.

As the flames in His heart are extinguished one by one, He will sever this spiritual connection with the tribes one by one.

Unless He once again dives into the ocean of the collective unconscious, enters and even occupies their mental island.

Helmaenie would never abuse this ability. This bizarre power, which can change other people's thoughts, ideas, and perceptions at will, is as powerful as a god, but every time she uses it, she glimpses the darkest parts of human nature.

When He completely lost faith in humanity due to excessive prying, that was also the time when His humanity was completely swallowed up by His divinity... Although He was still alive at that time, Hermaine found it hard to believe that He was still Him.

But at this moment, this state of undiminished spiritual connection is the perfect opportunity for Hermaine to manifest her "miracle".

With a single thought, Helmaenie's clones on each of the islands of the mind worked together to erase a certain gloomy, deep-seated mass from their respective islands.

This lump is the darkest thought that humanity has had recently.

Under Helmani's large-scale manipulation, everyone in the tribe relaxed—

While this cannot fulfill believers' wishes like a real deity, it allows them to spend the New Year more relaxed and joyfully.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

In a hazy perception, Helmaene sensed that He could still respond to words in everyone's minds.

It's quite similar to a divine revelation or oracle being sent down by a deity...

This response will strengthen the tribe's faith in Him, but it will also instill fear and dread in them.

They will truly place Him on the throne of God in their hearts.

Humans and gods are different... If this response were made in the hearts of the people, Helmaenie would be certain that she, as a human, would cease to exist.

Her relationships with people in the tribe will completely fall apart.

What followed was "humanity's first demigod," "the first councilor with divinity"... but no one would ever treat her as human again.

Even if new human demigods are born, this situation will not change.

But what does it matter?

This is the path I chose myself, the path I yearn for and look forward to!

Even if it means defeat in the struggle against divinity, even if it means perishing in the competition with other beings, I would rather not tremble in fear and be powerless to do anything anymore...

"Do not be afraid, I am with you. Do not be dismayed, I am your God."

After this voice remained in everyone's heart, Helmaenie's mental connection with everyone abruptly ended.

But the New Year festival belonging to the Ilusa tribe continues.

Hermione's behavior of pretending to be a demigod before being promoted, which was contrary to the script of the council meeting, almost confused the other councilors, but this behavior did not disrupt the subsequent process of the festival.

Inside the council chamber, many tribal councilors stood before Helmayni, many of them appearing bewildered and unsure of what to do.

"You...you have truly touched divinity?" The aged Second Councilor, Severus, asked tremblingly, his cold, deep eyes now filled with the contrasting emotions of fear and anticipation.

Hermaine is still adjusting to this change in attitude and address.

Leodorus, standing nearby, grinned and exclaimed, "Praise be to my lord!"
