From God of Lies to Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 234: Reactions of Various Countries

Soon, news spread throughout the high-end communities of Kolkata that several high-ranking figures were leaving the city with their entire families in tow.

It was not just one or two families, but almost all the city council members, top executives, and various high government officials.

Some left with their whole households, while others, unable to entirely abandon their public pride, remained behind but quietly sent their families away.

Those who did not care about saving face simply requested a leave of absence and fled with their loved ones. The most paranoid among them even fled to other countries, heading straight for Canada or Brazil—anywhere on a completely different continent!

Regardless of their methods, it was exceedingly rare to find anyone who stayed completely put. Practically everyone was making a run for it.

This mass exodus naturally prompted well-informed individuals to hastily follow suit. They had no choice but to leave; with all the elites fleeing, anyone with a working pair of eyes knew exactly what was brewing.

In a country like India, the concept of secrecy had always been an exasperating joke. Therefore, the details of the massive slaughter that took place in the Brahmin Community spread throughout the entire city in a remarkably short amount of time!

In less than half a day, reports of the incident had already landed on the desks of top-level officials all over the world!

For instance, right on the desk of Golden Hair.

"Father, this is the summary of the supernatural events that occurred in Kolkata. Broadly speaking, there are two distinct manifestations: one is an Asura King, and the other is a Buddhist monk!" Over the past few months, Baron had matured considerably, appearing much more grounded and reliable as he handed over the intelligence briefing.Golden Hair waved his hand dismissively. "Qian Si has already briefed me on this situation. You do not need to say too much, I am already aware!"

He understood what Baron was getting at. Recently, the tariff war between America and India had been escalating fiercely. That Venerable Elder had even hung up on him four times in a row, demonstrating a level of stubborn defiance that was palpable.

The sudden emergence of these supernatural events might very well be the other party's attempt to manipulate public perception. If America had transcendent beings, and India now had them too, why should they be afraid?

"We are not the same as them!" Golden Hair declared. "Their supernatural beings started massacring people the moment they appeared. They do not even have a domestic transcendent faction under control, yet Narendra has the nerve to spout nonsense about divine favor!"

"Hmph! Those Buddhist and Asura deities would probably slaughter all of them if they weren't afraid of getting their hands dirty!"

It was precisely because he knew how that nation operated that Golden Hair made such a ruthless assessment.

Compared to the bizarre and unfathomable actions of those Brahmins in India, even the most corrupt and wicked politicians in the Democratic Party could be considered gentle and pure-hearted!

"Then, Father, what are your intentions?" Baron paused, a little unsure of what his old man was actually planning.

"Heh!" Golden Hair raised a finger, immediately summoning the Secretary of State. "Keep up the pressure. Tell the Indians that the tariffs are being raised to fifty percent, and that is non-negotiable! While you are at it, get the CIA moving. I want more intelligence on the supernatural! We cannot get information out of the Vatican, and our assets in Northern Europe were purged. If they cannot even handle a porous sieve like India, then replace the entire directorate!"

"Buddhists are not exclusive to India; there is no reason we cannot dip our toes into this water! When it comes to supernatural power, you can never have too much. It has been a long time since we heard anything from across the sea, and they are a nation with true ancient history. For all we know, they might already be initiating a nationwide transcendent evolution! We cannot afford to fall behind!"

Golden Hair's ominous words sent a slight chill down Baron's spine. He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Father, we have been researching that ring from Northern Europe and discovered some fascinating things. This could very well be the dawn of our own transcendent era!"

"Oh?" Golden Hair looked up, his interest piqued. "That Nordic artifact? If I recall correctly, it is tied to that so-called dragon's hoard?"

"Yes! The dragon's hoard mutates all living creatures, infecting them with a greedy nature and eventually transforming them into dragons!" Baron explained. "However, after Olav the Dragon Slayer killed that beast, we tested the ring and found that its volatile spirituality had indeed weakened!"

"As a result, we initiated biological human experiments and successfully confirmed the ring's power. It is an artifact that possesses nearly infinite energy. It draws its power directly from the ambient air, constantly replenishing itself!"

"Anyone who remains in contact with the ring for more than three hours will begin a dragon transformation, falling into an irreversible state of greed. By strictly controlling the exposure time to about two and a half hours, we have successfully produced a batch of transcendents possessing dragon-like scales and draconic abilities!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Golden Hair was visibly ecstatic. He could merely nod along to other reports, but this was a tangible political achievement—something he could boast about extensively. "Gao really brought me a wonderful surprise! How is the combat power of these transcendents?"

"Their combat power is roughly equivalent to the blood thralls in Illinois and the werewolves in New York. They possess transcendent-tier strength, and more importantly, they remain completely lucid and can use modern weapons!" Baron reported, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "According to the researchers at the American Special Affairs Bureau, this power can even be amplified through bloodline evolution!"

"In other words, while we may not yet have apex supernatural warriors like the Dragon Slayer, the Bishop, or divine soldiers, we have successfully established a foundational extraordinary power system?" Golden Hair stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Tell me the downsides."

"The downside is that their bloodline system is highly unstable. If they recklessly pursue more power, they will lose control and mutate into mindless dragon-blood monsters!" Baron warned. "This is not something we can manage externally; we have to rely on the warriors themselves to suppress their instincts! If their desires continue to inflate, they will inevitably turn into those monsters. We tested it on an ape, and it mutated into a small dragon over sixteen feet long!"

Golden Hair nodded in understanding. "Pros and cons are nothing to fear; just keep researching. Our pool of supernatural talent is still far too shallow. Perhaps we can squeeze a few more people out of Father Angus!"

Golden Hair was truly the type of person who had absolutely no sense of shame. He knew perfectly well that the Church would never fully align with him, so he constantly schemed to request personnel from Angus or plant his own people there. It was not merely to be a nuisance, but rather to see if he could quietly pilfer some supernatural resources for himself.

Fortunately, Angus was not an inflexible fanatic. He clearly understood Golden Hair's intentions and deliberately left a door of convenience open for him.

After all, the Church was deeply rooted in America, and dealing with the government was an unavoidable reality. Besides, with God backing them, they had no fear of being unable to clean up any potential messes!

"It is just... if we can harness this power, couldn't Russia do the same?" Golden Hair frowned deeply, though his expression quickly smoothed out. "Well, that is not entirely unacceptable. Right now, our relationship with Russia is one of friends rather than enemies!"

Had this been a few years ago, he would have undoubtedly dispatched agents to sabotage Russia. But times had changed, and strangely enough, a foundation for cooperation now existed between them.

After all, bleeding Europe dry through the proxy conflict in Ukraine had originally been one of his strategic masterstrokes. Now, there was a silent, unspoken understanding between him and the Russian leadership.

So, in an era where European nations were still hesitating, the Nordic Five were forging their own path, and Italy had completely pivoted to the Church, if their two massive nations jointly disclosed news of their supernatural capabilities, could they perhaps squeeze even more money out of those indecisive European states?

"Set up an appointment for me. I need to have a phone call with Mr. Vladimir!" Golden Hair immediately commanded.

Meanwhile, the unprecedented events unfolding in the major nation of India were slowly being broadcasted to the rest of the world. In this country that leaked secrets like a sieve, two video clips showcasing transcendent beings had already found their way into the hands of foreign intelligence agencies everywhere!

Without a shred of hesitation, the leaders of major powers immediately dispatched their agents. The previous interactions involving supernatural forces between Russia and America were no secret to them. The fact that an extraordinary artifact obtained from Northern Europe had successfully forged a genuine supernatural military unit was a massive wake-up call!

If they could develop similar forces, wouldn't it mean they could earn a seat at the table to negotiate with the global superpowers, just like the Nordic Five or Italy?

Regardless of whether they could actually succeed, they had to at least try.

The entire world was driving itself mad with the desire for supernatural power; no matter the cost, they had to take the gamble!

After all, infiltrating Kolkata was infinitely easier than trying to slip spies into any other major nation!

...

"Things are getting quite lively!" Bai Yang smiled warmly as he observed the unfolding chaos, finding the whole situation incredibly amusing. He had never expected that a major nation like India would have a security and intelligence apparatus vastly inferior to even Italy's.

At the very least, Italy had managed to quarantine the flow of information, completely resolving their incident before presenting an official explanation to the world.

But this country was a completely different story. Absolutely nothing had been resolved, and while that Venerable Elder Narendra was still extremely troubled by a mundane tariff war, foreign spies from all over the globe were already boarding flights straight to Kolkata!

"However, Your Crown, this development has proven highly effective!" Alvin noted. "With so many people learning of the story, and following the Buddhist intervention alongside the emergence of Asuras, a portion of the Wish Force within this city has already begun to shift!"

"If Wutian can truly manage to guide this entire city to enlightenment, the Wish Force of this entire nation will shift as a result!"

Bai Yang nodded slightly. "Yes, I can feel it too. It is indeed an excellent outcome... Tell you what, why don't we lend him a helping hand and stage a battle between a Buddha and a demon!"

"But this time, we will let him play the Buddha, while we take on the role of the heavenly demons!"

Alvin's expression turned slightly weird. "Your Crown, if we do this, how will you evolve into Shakyamuni in the future?"

"The Buddhas of India and the Buddhas of other realms are not the same thing!" Bai Yang said with a bright smile. "The wrathful Vajra gaze and the lowered brows of compassionate Bodhisattvas are common occurrences here! I think even the Tathagata would agree!"
