Rumble rumble rumble—
People in Tokyo looked up at the sky filled with thunderclouds. Some clasped their hands to their chests, some had tears in their eyes, and some even cried out to the gods.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning, tens of meters in diameter, fell straight down from the sky and landed at the top of the Tokyo Skytree, but the lightning did not harm anything.
A purple figure slowly appeared amidst the lightning, dressed in purple clothing characteristic of Japanese culture, with long purple hair, purple eyes, and a purple halo behind it.
Raiden Shin looked down over the entire city of Tokyo, and countless eyes converged on her, some filled with awe, some with fanaticism, some with worship, some with expectation, and some with longing.
This is the plea of the people, hoping that the gods can bring them hope.
“The people of Japan and the people of Inazuma are no different; their expectations and pleas to the gods are exactly the same. Since they expect me to bring them the future, I will certainly respond to everyone.” Raiden Shin’s eyes were filled with tenderness, and his lips also carried a gentle smile.
She has been a 'lover' since birth; she will not reject the demands of her people, provided that these demands are just and reasonable.
She knew that her people were waiting for her voice, and that her first response would be a guiding beacon for them toward the future.
【My people, I am Raiden Shin, the Demon God is Baal, and I am the Supreme Lord of the Mitsunagamikaze, who will rule this mortal world according to the will of the Heavenly Order.】
Respond to me, and I will lead my people to the future they desire.
A gentle yet majestic voice, accompanied by divine power, resounded throughout Japan, clearly heard and understood in the minds of 1.24 million people across the country.
"We are willing!"
"I beg you to lead Japan!"
"The Great Imperial Lord Narukami, Lord Grand Imperial Palace!"
"I don't want to live like this anymore."
"Yes, I don't want to suffer like this anymore."
"May the great Narukami purge the parasites from this corrupt nation!"
"The rules of this country are all set by the high and mighty Celestial Dragons."
"Yes, this country is essentially still ruled by the aristocracy of the past."
"The offspring of politicians are politicians, the offspring of bankers are bankers, the offspring of chaebols are chaebols, and we will always live in the country they have created. I've had enough."
"If you were to rule us, you would certainly be fair and just."
"If it were you, you would definitely bring about a complete transformation to Japan."
"If it were you, you would definitely make us live a happy life."
"Please, great Narukami!"
The wishes, expectations, and pleas of hundreds of millions of people across Japan converged on Raiden Shin, who listened quietly to the voices of the Japanese people.
This is the power of faith. As a deity, she can certainly gather the faith of her people. The 'Wheel of a Hundred Wishes' behind her shines even brighter, as she stores the faith of all people within it.
99.999999 people in all of Japan officially became her subjects, and the rest were either foreigners or the ruling class who feared her.
I understand, my people.
[Therefore, I hereby issue my first national decree.]
[The powers of all ruling classes were abolished, and they were all ordered to appear before the main hall of the shrine.]
My kingdom's decrees are effective everywhere in this world; those who disobey will be punished by God.
Although the sound remained unchanged, it felt to the former ruling class as if a guillotine had fallen from above their heads.
"Oh no, oh no... what should we do?!"
"Even secretly transferring assets and running away won't work."
"Are the gods really this domineering? They won't let you go anywhere."
"I'm finished, my family is finished, completely finished."
At this time, the most fearful were the powerful families and financial magnates in the national parliament and cabinet, while the smaller local families were not so afraid.
The national parliament monopolizes judicial power, the cabinet monopolizes law enforcement power, and this also includes military power.
"It's over, I'm doomed... I'm not going to be struck down by divine punishment!" The Emperor huddled on the floor, trembling, not daring to look at the dark, cloud-covered sky, fearing that a bolt of lightning would strike him and turn him to ashes.
"Your Majesty, what should we do!" the Emperor's concubine cried. "You are a descendant of Amaterasu, a god manifested on earth!"
"It's all fake! Don't you know whether I'm a living god or not after all these years?" The Emperor was so frightened that he went mad: "It's all propaganda, propaganda needed for the sake of rule."
Although he had no real power, his status remained just as prestigious.
The reason why those powerful families revere royalty is because of its legitimacy.
If the royal family were to disappear, the legitimacy of the rule of the Han Chinese, nobles, and gentry would be challenged, so they would have to support the royal family.
If deities were to descend directly to govern the country, both the royal family and the Han Chinese would lose their legitimacy.
"Going might mean death, not going will definitely mean death..." The Emperor felt his crotch get wet.
Immediately, the heads of the ruling classes from all over Japan rushed to Tokyo.
When faced with a choice between the possibility of death and the necessity of death, they dare not gamble on any possibility. As for resistance? Just look at the thunderclouds in the sky, look at the purple lightning, feel the divine power, and all thoughts will be ruthlessly crushed.
Raiden Shin looked down at her subjects who were conveying their wishes to her, and her heart surged with emotion, just like when she first saw humans begging for her protection during the Demon God War.
At that moment, she was deeply moved and felt a strong urge to protect these vulnerable lives, teach them martial arts and skills, and guide them to build civilization and a nation.
Rumble rumble rumble...
The thunderclouds in the sky quickly dissipated, and bright sunlight shone on the earth, making the whole world bright again, as if the night had passed and a new dawn had arrived.
A flash of lightning, and Lei Dianzhen's figure vanished from the sight of the people.
It reappeared in front of the stone steps of the shrine's main hall.
At this time, both sides of the main hall of the shrine were filled with temporary administrators who were in charge of Tokyo under the leadership of Yae no Miko, the shrine's priests, and elites who had been temporarily promoted to manage various industries.
They were all kneeling on the ground on both sides, not daring to raise their heads, for the gods in the heavens could not look directly at their faces, otherwise it would be blasphemy.
Raiden smiled and looked at them: "My people, I allow you to raise your heads."
Upon hearing the voice of the deity, everyone nervously and anxiously raised their heads. The deity's face then came into view, its gentle divine power like a spring breeze, not frightening at all, but rather inspiring a heartfelt desire to follow in His footsteps.
"May the Way be ever-flowing and the God of Narukami eternal! We respectfully welcome Lord Narukami, the Great Master!"
"May the Way be ever-flowing and the God of Narukami eternal! We respectfully welcome Lord Narukami, the Great Master!"
Everyone was shouting wildly at this moment, wanting to shout out the loudest voice they had ever uttered.
Raiden was stunned for a moment, as if he could see the scene of his people cheering after the end of the war between the demons and gods a thousand years ago, and he pursed his lips.
This must have been taught by the divine child.
"The Way of the Constant is vast, the Divine Resonance is eternal!" The Eightfold Divine Child stood at the top of the stone steps, his purple eyes looking at Raiden Shin with tears welling up in his eyes. He gently wiped away his tears with his fingers, knelt on one knee, and shouted out.
Raiden Shin walked up the stone steps, and the repeated chants of "The Way of the Gods is vast and magnificent, the sound of the gods is eternal" brought tears to her eyes. She walked up to the Divine Child, looked at the retinue kneeling before her, and reached out to pat her head.
"Divine Child, thank you for your hard work."
The simple words struck Yae no Miko's heart, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"As long as you're still here, it's not hard work, you're such a great person."
"I will always be here, and I will never leave again," Raiden said gently.
He then pulled Yae no Miko up, gently held her in his arms, and then released her before heading towards the main hall of the shrine.
"Alright, that's all for you now. Go do what you were doing." Yae no Miko's expression instantly turned calm, and the tears in her eyes disappeared. She wouldn't let anyone see her embarrassing state.
"Yes! Mr. Yazi."×n
……
At the same time, at the base in the Sahara Desert.
Since Bai Yuekui established the Sahara base, it has changed every day and has now become an extremely large base.
Apart from the simulated ecosystem at the top, the lower levels are all different experimental areas, and there are even three rocket launch platforms.
"I really underestimated the research capabilities of this era. With the help of extraordinary power, it won't be long before they surpass the technological level of the original world." Bai Yuekui exclaimed in amazement as he watched the scientific data scrolling on the projection screens.
Countries with scientific research capabilities are all using elemental forces to manufacture weapons, and even equipment to assist superhumans.
They have even learned to use the reactions between different elemental forces to create composite weapons, and the Xia Kingdom is the most advanced in this field.
They even learned to use wind elements to create personal flying machines.
However, her research focus is not on elemental forces, but on ley line technology.
hum~
A teardrop-shaped, life-sized blue technological artifact floats inside a glass box.
"I've finally thoroughly researched and replicated the ley line teleportation anchor point. Next, it's time for mass production." Bai Yuekui looked at her masterpiece with great pride. This was a space teleportation device, and although it was limited by the ley lines, it was enough to make her proud.
Moreover, through this 'geyser anchor point,' she also discovered the laws of space, which granted her the 'superpower' of spatial attributes.
"It's a pity that there are too few people who can help. The only scientists who can even superficially understand my research results are the national experts from those government departments. Sigh." Bai Yuekui sighed. She couldn't easily recruit those national experts, since they carried national attributes, and she couldn't expose her base to outsiders.
"I wish they could come in the summer. I wonder how they are now, and whether anything has happened to Dragonbone Village because of my absence."
"Boss Bai, Brother Luo and the others are here." At this moment, Mai Duo's voice rang out. Bai Yuekui turned around and saw Mai Duo walking in with her cheeks puffed out, holding two cactus fruits in her hands.
It's certain that Maido used the Anywhere Door to go to Cairo, Egypt to buy fruit.
During this time, in addition to conducting research at the base, she and Madonna would occasionally visit major cities in neighboring countries and take the opportunity to eliminate some monsters that human armies couldn't handle.
Guns are rampant in Africa, and the fact that some children can use guns has actually made them adapt faster. When they encounter monsters they can't beat, they run away, and when they encounter monsters they can beat, they just pull out their guns and shoot.
Although they can't escape most of the monsters they can't defeat.
Africa is right next to the Mediterranean Sea, and the concept of Source Awakening has long been spread here. Unfortunately, 99% of people are unable to awaken it. On the contrary, those who are able to awaken can achieve their abilities in one step, which is simply bizarre, as if it were a binary of good and evil.
In Africa, there is only one country that can suppress monsters and maintain national security: Rwanda, known as the 'Star of Africa'.
The only other countries that have done relatively well are Egypt and South Africa. The rest of the countries cannot be called countries, but are large tribal confederations. These countries can only effectively govern the capital and the surrounding areas. The rest of the areas are autonomously governed by tribes, so they are extremely chaotic.
“I just finished creating the ‘Earth Vein Teleportation Anchor Point’ and you arrived.” Bai Yuekui was about to leave when he saw Luo Sheng walk in.
“The creation of this thing would be a groundbreaking advancement for the entire world.” Los Saint smiled as he looked at the 'ley line teleportation anchor' floating in the glass box.
"In the future, those who can use elemental power will be able to quickly teleport to the location of the disaster."
