Chapter 110: Destruction of Neon
Longxi Republic, Supreme Military Command Center.
On the enormous sand table, the Neon Archipelago was densely covered with red points of light.
This was the area where the Church of Myriad Spirits spread its faith.
Satellite cloud maps showed that the entire Neon Metropolis was shrouded in a layer of white light visible to the naked eye.
That was Asahara Shoko’s domain of faith, and also the concrete manifestation of his power.
“Gentlemen.”
The Commander pointed at the screen, his expression exceptionally grave. “This is the latest intelligence sent back by Chen Mo.”
“Asahara Shoko has already completely taken control of the Neon government.”
“He has established the Church of Myriad Spirits as the state religion, turning the entire country into his divine kingdom.”
“The number of his believers has already surpassed one hundred million.”
“And his abilities have already grown powerful enough to easily erase Transcendent beings.”
“If he is allowed to win the game…”
The Commander did not continue, but everyone understood what that meant.
A cult leader possessing godlike power would rule the entire world.
“This is no longer a problem of a single country.”
A general said in a deep voice, “This is a crisis for all of human civilization!”
“We must take action immediately!”
……
Stellar Ring United States, White House, underground command room.
“Damn it! This yellow-skinned monkey actually stirred up such a huge mess!”
The president of the Stellar Ring United States looked at the惨状 of Neon on the screen and angrily smashed the cigar in his hand onto the ground.
“What the hell are our intelligence agencies doing?!”
“Report to the President!”
An intelligence officer reported with trembling voice, “According to the latest intelligence we have obtained, Asahara Shoko’s power has already reached an unbelievable level.”
“He can freely distort reality, control people’s hearts, and even…”
“Even convert the power of Transcendent beings for his own use.”
“Even more frightening is that his faith domain is continuously expanding.”
“If it is not stopped, it will soon spread across the entire Pacific Ocean!”
The president’s face darkened like still water.
He thought of Chu He, who had recently caused chaos in his own country.
That damn Longxi bastard, relying on Transcendent power, had stirred up a storm on Wall Street and already threatened their order.
But that Chu He was at least still within their range of control.
This Asahara Shoko, however, was already completely out of control!
“He must be eliminated!”
The president slammed the table and stood up, cold light flashing in his eyes. “Even if it means destroying that island nation!”
“We cannot allow such power to threaten the foundations of the free world!”
……
Northern Steel Empire, Kremlin.
“Ura!”
The supreme leader of the Northern Steel Empire, a burly man with a face full of beard, looked at Asahara Shoko on the screen, his eyes filled with fanaticism.
“This is the true god!”
“Only such power can lead us to victory!”
“If we could seize this power for ourselves…”
“No!”
His chief advisor, a calm scientist, immediately interrupted his fantasy. “Leader, this power is far too dangerous!”
“It is not controlled by anything, bound by nothing!”
“Once it goes out of control, the entire world will become his slave!”
“We must take action immediately!”
“Join forces with Longxi Republic and the Stellar Ring United States to eliminate this threat together!”
……
Brahma Federation, Holy City.
“Amitabha.”
The supreme elder of the Brahma Federation, an old monk with white hair and brows, looked at Asahara Shoko’s twisted smile on the screen, his eyes filled with compassion.
“Demons arise from the heart; karma is born of one’s own making.”
“This man has already entered the demonic path and cannot be spared!”
“Transmit my decree!”
“The Brahma Federation is willing to join hands with all nations to jointly slay this demon!”
……
Under the threat of Asahara Shoko, the major powers of the world reached an unprecedented consensus.
Thus, five minutes later, a top-secret video conference attended by only five people was convened on an encrypted channel.
All the leaders gathered together through the encrypted video conference.
Longxi Republic, Stellar Ring United States, Northern Steel Empire, Western City-State Alliance, Brahma Federation.
The holographic projections of the five most powerful people on this planet sat together.
The atmosphere was so heavy it was like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
“What the hell are those things?!”
The president of the Stellar Ring United States was the first to roar.
He looked utterly haggard, his tie crooked, dark circles heavy under his eyes.
“That lunatic named Chu He! He staged a real-life battle royale in my country!”
“Wall Street was blown up! The Pentagon was breached!”
“And now you’re telling me that the neighboring island nation has produced a living god?!”
“Mr. President, please calm down.”
The leader of the Northern Steel Empire coldly tapped the table.
“Anger cannot solve the problem.”
“What we are facing now is a threat that surpasses common sense.”
He pointed at the glowing island nation on the screen.
“If this ‘Asahara Shoko’ is allowed to win.”
“If he is allowed to complete the final ‘Ascension to Godhood’.”
“Do you really think he would be satisfied with that tiny island nation?”
Everyone fell silent.
This was a self-evident answer.
Gods were not constrained by national borders.
Once he had digested Neon’s faith, the next step would be the entire world.
“He must be eliminated.”
The representative of the Western City-State Alliance pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone icy.
“Before he has fully taken shape.”
“Before he leaves that island.”
“We must excise this malignant tumor.”
“Even if…”
He paused, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.
“Even if it means wiping that island off the map.”
The Prime Minister of the Brahma Federation immediately echoed, “I agree.”
All gazes finally converged on the old man from the Dragon Nation.
After all, that place was closest to the Dragon Nation.
The old man remained silent for a moment.
He stared at the ever-expanding halo on the screen, as if seeing a gigantic beast opening its blood-filled maw.
“We cannot tolerate an uncontrollable god appearing beside our bed.”
The old man spoke slowly, each word weighing a thousand jin.
“For the future of humanity.”
“For the continuation of civilization.”
“I agree to initiate the ‘Final Purification Procedure’.”
“To deploy… strategic-level weapons.”
The conference room fell into deathlike silence.
Strategic-level weapons.
What that meant was clear to everyone.
It meant that the entire Neon Archipelago would be erased from the map.
“Is this the only way?”
The supreme leader of the Northern Steel Empire spoke hoarsely.
“The only way.”
The Dragon Nation Commander said decisively, “If Asahara Shoko is allowed to win, it will be a disaster for all humanity.”
“For the greater good, we must make sacrifices.”
The president of the Stellar Ring United States closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“I agree.”
The supreme elder of the Brahma Federation pressed his palms together. “Amitabha, this poor monk also has no objections.”
The supreme executive of the Western City-State Alliance nodded heavily as well.
In the end.
All the leaders reached a consensus.
“Activate the ‘Heavenly Punishment Plan’.”
The Dragon Nation Commander issued the order in a deep voice, “Target, Neon Metropolis.”
……
Neon Metropolis, Dragon Nation Embassy.
Chen Mo hung up the phone, his gaze piercing through the window as he looked toward the distant city shrouded in white light of faith.
“Asahara Shoko.”
He muttered softly, “You have angered the entire world.”
“Now it is time for you to learn that the anger of mortals can also burn gods to ashes!”
He turned around and looked at Tsuchimikado Rin and Hattori Heizo behind him.
“Chen Mo.”
Tsuchimikado Rin asked in a deep voice, “What did the homeland say?”
“They agreed.”
Chen Mo took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “They agreed to deploy strategic-level weapons.”
Tsuchimikado Rin hesitated as she asked, “But…”
“Can nuclear weapons really kill Asahara Shoko?”
“Asahara Shoko’s strength…”
“It will not fail!”
“Because my target was never Asahara Shoko at all!”
“What?!”
“Asahara Shoko’s power comes from the faith of his believers. As long as the number of believers is reduced, Asahara Shoko’s power…”
Chen Mo did not continue, but everyone understood what that meant.
It meant that Chen Mo was going to nuclear-level Neon!
……
At the same time.
Far away in the Stellar Ring United States.
On a massive aircraft carrier.
Chu He stood on the deck, gazing toward the direction of Neon Island in the distance, complex light flickering in his eyes.
“Asahara Shoko, huh…”
He muttered softly, “This is somewhat interesting.”
“I really want to see whether the Transcendent or human technology will ultimately prove superior!”
