The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"So, what can you do?" Faust seemed amused by Xue's idea. He grinned and asked Xue in a questioning tone, "How can you protect them? And how can you protect them while also gathering information about Mephisto and the world?"

“My Lord Apostle, you are not a god. You cannot possibly protect these burdens while dealing with the apostles and the world.”

“Sigh, Faust, if I hadn’t seen them, I might have ignored them, but now that I’ve run into them…” Xue Luding grinned and gave a thumbs up, “Then I really have to take care of this. And who told you that protecting them and gathering intelligence can’t go on at the same time?”

Faust: "?"

"Could it be..."

“Yes, since I’ve cleared out this gang’s stronghold, why can’t I start my own gang?” Xue Dinglu said with a smile, his extraordinary wisdom working at a rapid pace.

Since Xue Lude knows that the people behind the gang are the occult nobles, and the mastermind behind the occult nobles is the 12th Apostle, then there is no need for him to deliberately collect information about Mephisto.

Isn't this gang a ready-made excuse to contact the mystical aristocracy?

Regardless of whether it's wise or not, let's just talk about whether it's astonishing or not.

“Faust, I have a dream. I want to become a mafia superstar.” Xue Dinglu smiled at him, revealing a mysterious smile.

Faust: "..."

"Look, I've directly usurped the throne and established a brand new gang here. I'm even more ruthless, cracking down on all the surrounding gangs. There can only be one sun in the gangster world of this world, and that is me."

"As long as I act quickly and ruthlessly enough, I can unify the underworld before the mystical nobles can react. Their weakness and tendency to compromise will make them question whether it is worth eliminating me."

"At this time, I can quickly establish contact with the nobles, gather information about Mephisto, and determine if there is a problem with the world consciousness. Moreover, when my gang is big enough, I can leave with those who are still worth saving as quickly as possible."

"As for what happens after I leave with my men, go tell my Star Destroyer. We're all trying our best to live," Xue said with a smile, looking at Faust.

After all, a large part of the reason he came here was because he still wanted to save some people.

He wouldn't just watch a planet with over a billion people be annihilated. He would at least save the people who needed saving before considering destroying the rest of the planet.

Even if it's for the sake of that ridiculous humanity, Xue's Law doesn't want those who are fighting with all their might to survive to lose hope. If there is no hope in the world, then he himself will become that last hope.

Faust was stunned, and then he was filled with rage, an indescribable rage, whether it was rage against Xue's law or rage against the world. He didn't know why he was so angry. The anger was like a volcano buried in his heart, and now it erupted like a hysterical monster.

"Do you really think you can protect everyone under the Apostle's nose? You can't, sir!" Faust said, suppressing his anger.

"So, if you can't do it, you don't do it at all?" Xue Dinglu looked at Faust, staring directly into the gentleman's eyes, his gaze fixed on him through his monocle. "When you couldn't do anything before, you didn't do it? I don't understand. Look at me, Faust!"

Faust was stunned; he suddenly understood why he was angry.

He looked at Xue Dinglu, confident and arrogant, that kind of confidence and hope engraved in his bones was like the sun, about to blind him, while he felt like a demon who could only survive in the gutter.

He could do nothing, but others did things he had wanted to do but could never do.

What he was angry about was perhaps just his past self, who had been powerless to do anything...

"Get up. From now on, you cannot kneel here," Xue Dinglu said to the girl.

In that instant, a glimmer of hope shone through their blood-stained faces.

"Everyone, we are all children who were kidnapped, and I am just one bit stronger than you. But because of this strength, I was not drugged and that's why I am standing here."

Xue Dinglu slowly said these words, and then he reached out and helped the girls up one by one.

Looking at them, my gaze never wandered to places I shouldn't have looked at; instead, I stared straight into their eyes.

"So, do you think this is right?"

"Is this world right? Is it right to be kidnapped, abducted, and sold as merchandise?" Xue Dinglu said. "Why do these gang members dare to kidnap us so casually?"

Xue's series of questions left their heads buzzing. Whether it was the power of his charm or some other strange blessing, they stared blankly at Xue, their eyes filled with an indescribable expression.

"Brother Lu, it's because they're strong, they have power!" said the girl who seemed to know Xue Lu's original self.

“Yes, it is precisely because we are too weak and powerless that we are easily kidnapped, bullied, and abused. Are we born lowly, born to be played with at will, born to be inferior?” Xue Dinglu stood up and raised his right hand.

"No, it's simply because we are weak, we have no power!"

"So we must unite. If the gangs can treat us like this, why can't we do the same to those gang members? These inherently evil gangs, if they can do it, why can't we?" Xue Luding raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle.

A series of rhetorical questions and a passionate speech left these girls, who had just recovered from the ups and downs of life, in a daze. Coupled with the strange blessing they received, at that moment, all that seemed to remain was fervor.

When the first girl raised her right hand at a 45-degree angle, mimicking Xue's Law gesture, all the other girls made the exact same move.

"Therefore we must resist, we must fight! We must struggle! If we were too weak before, powerless, and could only be bullied by others, then now, I have arrived! I have arrived with invincible power!"

"I will rule the underworld, I will sweep across the world, and I will make the world's underworld have only one voice, and that will be my voice."

"Let there be only one sun in this gang, and that sun is only me!" Xue Luding roared. Then, a ball of holy light rose into the air from his hand. This was a high-level application of holy light, that is, holy light with a healing effect.

Although Xue's Law is not very proficient yet, it is still easy to create a healing holy light orb.

When the sphere of holy light rose to the ceiling of the house, all the girls in the area felt an indescribable warmth and comfort on their injured foreheads.

The wound was being healed quickly!

The magic made them almost kneel down again, but then Xue Luding roared, "Stand up! Don't kneel!"

"What I want is your loyalty, not your knees. I want to clean up the underworld. I want to prevent our tragedy from happening to the next generation. From us onward, we will no longer have to worry about who will be kidnapped," Xue Dinglu roared.

"That's why I'm going to clean up all the gangs and make sure there's only one gangster emperor in the world! That's me!"

“I know this is difficult, I know we are going to be at odds with the whole world, but I am not afraid to die. At the same time, I will give you strength, strength that is stronger, more powerful, and more invincible than those gangsters!”

“We will be at odds with the whole world, but I have long been prepared to die. If I fail, I don’t want my body to be eaten by wild dogs just for the sake of burial.”

"Victory!" came Xue Luding's roar as he raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle.

At this moment, these children, who had just emerged from anxieties about the future, erupted with unimaginable fervor.

They also raised their right hands at a 45-degree angle, shouting, "Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

Shouting hoarsely and hysterically! It seems that as long as he shouts "Wan Sheng" (meaning "May you win forever"), he can dispel all his anxiety and fear about the future and move closer to the sun.

"Therefore, I founded the gang called 'Akatsuki'. We want to be like the rising sun, to create a new future for children who have suffered like us, and to bring dawn to all gangs in the world."

"If you are willing to join, sign this contract." Xue Dinglu bit his finger and quickly drew a contract on the wall.

The other children didn't hesitate either. They followed Xue's example, biting their fingers or smearing their foreheads with blood to write their names on the wall. Those who couldn't write pressed their handprints down.

Because of them, only one sun remained.

From then on, they will only be loyal to one person.

Thus, the contract was established.

Thus, the Akatsuki organization was established.

……

"Smash it all! Smash it all! The new gang is so rude! They stole our shipment of goods that we were going to give to our nobleman!" In a high-class hall, the gang leaders gathered together.

"What exactly is this organization called 'Akatsuki'? We had legendary-level fighters among the people transporting that shipment, yet they were all killed. Where did they get so many powerful fighters?" someone asked.

However, no one can answer this question.

They just couldn't understand why the Leech Gang was suddenly wiped out and disappeared without a trace, while an organization called "Akatsuki" appeared in the Leech Gang's original territory.

This group of people, backed by some noble, are utterly ignorant of the rules. Other gangs that want to routinely supply goods to the noble lords of the mysticism should at least go to the lower classes to capture people themselves, or they should already be raising a large number of prostitutes' children, simply turning these guys into prostitutes again to supply the noble lords.

But that group of people, who just arrived yesterday, started robbing and looting everywhere today, stealing other people's goods, and even swallowing up several small and medium-sized gangs.

Damn it, the new gang is so rude!

Everyone else was very dissatisfied with the new gang, but there was nothing they could do about it. That was the rule of the underworld: whoever had the bigger fist was right. They were just front men for those noble lords, and the noble lords basically didn't care about their lives.

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged gangsters are a dime a dozen; at most, they're just exchanging a pair of gloves.

“No, we have to save ourselves. Since the legendary-level can’t deal with the Akatsuki, then we should unite and even find the mythical-level…” someone immediately said.

Others did not object. The old gangs might have fought to the death, but if a new gang rose up, they would put aside their past grievances and unite to suppress the new gang.

After all, the emergence of new gangs is squeezing the interests of these older folks.

Meanwhile, at the Akatsuki base, Xue Lude looked at the dozen or so girls in front of him who were wearing black robes with red cloud patterns and had hidden themselves in their hoods.

“You’ve done a great job. In just one day, our membership has expanded by several hundred people…” Xue Dinglu said this number. And this is only for those who have just gained power. They have already managed to intercept so many other kidnapped children in this area.

Some of them haven't had surgery yet, and there are boys among them.

However, the vast majority of them were either girls who were directly kidnapped, or guys who had already undergone surgery and completely turned into girls.

As for the initial dozen or so people, Xue Luding did not intend to teach them too many complicated things, but instead directly imprinted the "Pseudo-Divine Descent Technique" on them.

Based on the principles of the Faustian descent technique, after a day, Xue Dinglu began to revise it into a simpler, even unrecognizable, version. This technique is now engraved on a seal, which is then stamped directly onto a person with a "smack".

Then you can inscribe a divine spell on another person.

At the same time, this divine descent technique is entirely connected to the little witch, using her power as the battery source.

Su Su: "I feel completely drained..."

However, it shouldn't be too much. The little witch is, after all, Margaret's vessel, and this amount of external demands is a drop in the ocean for her. Right now, it's just asking her to eat an extra loaf of bread per meal.

Or you could just ask Xue Dinglu to bring her more local delicacies.

Faust watched silently as Xue Lude did this, and he did not stop him because he understood Xue Lude's purpose.

These divine descent techniques are also Xue Lude's teleportation techniques. When Xue Lude wants to leave, he can instantly teleport all those who have inscribed the technique into his consciousness space.

It seems that as long as he continues to do this, one person will infect ten, ten will infect a hundred, like a virus infecting more and more people. Then, after transferring all these people away, he can use the planet-destroying cannon to completely destroy this world.

This is the ideal scenario.

Faust originally intended to be the power source for the "pseudo-divine descent" technique, but Xue's Law stopped him.

After all, Faust himself still has combat power, and if used well, he can provide great help to Xue's Law. The little witch is different; she has status and energy but no combat power.

So let Susu act as the nuclear power plant. As long as she can feed the little witch, that's fine. After all, she is Margaret's vessel and is also a being at the level of half a world consciousness. Connecting hundreds of millions of people won't be a big problem.

Just like before, she was able to draw hundreds of millions of evil spirits and all sorts of strange demons into her body.

And doing this was Susu's old job; she was in the business of absorbing other evil spirits and demons. It's just that now the extradition has become a connection, and she has become the source of divine intervention for all the other children.

"Chief, the children we just rescued have been provided with bread and water. They have been waiting for you in the hall for quite some time." A young girl dressed in a black robe with red cloud patterns appeared before Xue Dinglu.

"Okay, I understand." Xue Dinglu stood up. He was about to begin the next round of speeches, and at the same time, he would inscribe the Divine Descent Technique on the newcomers who were willing to stay after the speeches.

"According to our reconnaissance, Team 02 discovered that 59 kilometers away on the outskirts of the city, a convoy carrying 200 people and their goods was about to head to Yoshiwara Flower Town. Our three teams are preparing to go and rescue them," the girl said.

"Okay, go ahead." Xue Dinglu let go of their hands, giving them great freedom.
