My Ability Is Role-playing

Chapter 408 - 401: God’s Sermon, Interrupted!

Su Qiangwei resisted the urge to carve "[Martial God] was here" on the wall, took a photo of the [Traitor’s Wall], and sent it to the academy group.

Ma Ran’s phone gently shook.

He unlocked it with his fingerprint and opened the message list.

Qiangqiang (Su Qiangwei): Do you all think Ma Ran’s words are any different from "[Prophet] was here"?

The academy members seemed to have nothing much to do at the moment and quickly came online to reply.

Xiaoriyue (Dong Huaiming): I think I’ll leave the reading comprehension to someone else... I’ve been writing books so much lately that I’m almost going blind, but fortunately, I’ve got "Burning Martial" cultivation to back me up. Otherwise, I’d surely get sick after finishing these books. Whoa! Damn! That...宅男女神 Shana was crushed by Brother Ran? Impressive! Truly gender-neutral, treating everyone equally...

After a moment of silence, Dong Huaiming added: Just heard that God Gray is preaching over in the United States. Coincidentally, I’m also promoting my new book and telling everyone about Brother Ran’s story. We can’t lose momentum! [New book launch.jpg] @燃燃燃, Brother Ran, what rank is your Inner Qi at now?

Ma Ran pointed his index finger and lightly swiped across the display screen.

Without touching the screen, the purple-gold Inner Qi flashed, displaying a new message below.

燃燃燃 (Ma Ran): I was at the nineteen rank of Inner Qi before. After the confrontation with the Seventh Princess Eve, Eldest Prince Li Tang, and Third Prince Adam of the Chuanke civilization just now, I gained some insight. Now I’m at the twentieth rank of Inner Qi.

Not far away, Su Qiangwei, who was putting spicy strips into her mouth while surfing the group, suddenly had a twitch in her small hand.

With a "boom," her phone exploded in her hand.

The battery fluid dripped from her palm to the ground, emitting a corrosive chemical smell.

The girl closed her left eye expressionlessly, as metallic droplets, accompanied by a silver light, spread out in her palm.

Pillar-grade superpower [Mechanical Repair] activated!

The light swept over, and the phone that was damaged was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Su Qiangwei acted as if nothing had happened, calmly glanced at Ma Ran, and then looked down to continue fiddling with her phone.

In the group, Wan Haihao, Zhu Hanyi, Song Chu, Li Xing, Wu Di, and others sent their congratulations within three seconds.

Lotus City Half Sword (Wan Haihao): Congratulations! My information is a bit outdated; I always felt like Brother Ran just advanced to the seventeenth Inner Qi rank. With this speed of progress, it won’t be long before you become a god!

Rain Boiling Sword (Zhu Hanyi): Congrats, Brother Ran! Also, @Lotus City Half Sword, when did you change your alias? Well... getting back on topic, your example is obviously not appropriate. If it’s Brother Ran, using the master or the demon child as a reference would be correct.

Blood Flame (Song Chu): Twenty ranks of Inner Qi? I remember in the A3 district, Brother Ran was only at the sixth rank of Inner Qi, right? How long has it really been since then? Fortunately... my awakened superpower isn’t weak; I should barely be able to keep up with Brother Ran!

Photographer for Fun (Li Xing): By the way, I’ve been watching the livestream from South Korea. Given that you could survive in a vacuum at the nineteenth Inner Qi rank and freely roam the cosmos, using the term "Inner Qi" seems to drag down Brother Ran’s style.

Solitary Blade (Wu Di): You weren’t paying attention; the Third Prince from the Chuanke civilization mentioned that at the twentieth rank in "Burning Martial" cultivation, Inner Qi transforms and evolves into a new energy called "Star Power."

Photographer for Fun (Li Xing): I don’t think Adam’s words are necessarily accurate. After all, he also said that Brother Ran would only reach the twentieth Inner Qi rank "in the future"... The timing doesn’t match up.

What follows is a back-and-forth between Wu Di and Li Xing.

On one hand, they talked about the butterfly effect; on the other, they called it a mere coincidence. In a flash, they filled the screen with 99+ messages.

Su Qiangwei muted them both for an hour with a flip of her hand and casually changed the topic.

Qiangqiang (Su Qiangwei): Don’t waste energy on trivial things. Let’s discuss some serious stuff like the [Ten Fists Sword] in Japan and the "battle" in the City of Angels in the United States. Tomorrow, Ma Ran and I are returning home. By then, [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan and [Yin Yang Master] Ogata Shitou might come along. You all need to be prepared in advance.

Ordinary Elder in Grass Hut Academy (President Huang Weiguo): Got it!

Unity (Liu Huadie): Using a neutron bomb [Ten Fists Sword] against Zhao Guanlan was incredibly unethical, especially since he was helping them resolve disasters and saving people from Feng Yuji.

Yukong (He Nanguang): It’s a modern rendition of the farmer and the snake. Moreover, the island nation continuously claims they have no nuclear weapons, creating a global uproar, with everyone condemning them. However, despite the criticism, no actual sanctions have been taken. Meanwhile, the story of the "neutron bomb favor" has turned into a joke, spreading worldwide.

Judge (Wang Shuyin): Typing in a soul state is really a hassle. @燃燃燃, @Qiangqiang, I’m not too worried about the problems in Japan. After all, from the livestream, it seems like the Profound Immortal has a good relationship with you all. What I’m worried about is God Gray. Due to the superpower erosion, he has completely "deified"! The massacre in the City of Angels, he had the capability to stop it but didn’t. Instead, he turned a blind eye and took the opportunity to preach... His power is growing! He’s really terrifying! Even half the globe away, my Netherworld can feel the oppressive force from his divine authority!

Judge (Wang Shuyin): The invasive and oppressive feeling that God Gray gives me surpasses even that from the aliens of the Chuanke civilization! I hope you don’t take this lightly!

Seeing this, Su Qiangwei looked up and glanced at Ma Ran, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Just by observing Ma Ran’s expression, she knew that Judge’s suspicion and deduction weren’t baseless.

Sacrificing his life and becoming the Judge of the Netherworld, Wang Shuyin might lack combat power, but his perception ability is incredibly strong.

燃燃燃 (Ma Ran): I’ll find a way to handle this matter.

...

United States.

City of Angels.

God Gray floated above the sky, exuding boundless light, with twelve angel-like creatures standing behind him, each with a halo above their heads, gazing down expressionlessly.

Even though he was hundreds of meters in the air, for some reason, the believers below could clearly see his eyes.

Gray’s cold, emotionless gaze seemed to carry a hint of forgiveness and pity.

With his mind completely deified, Gray is now the most cold-blooded National Guardian-level but also the fairest National Guardian-level.

In his eyes, all beings are equal, regardless of age, gender, ability users, or non-ability users, all are the same.

As long as they can believe in him and strengthen his [God] authority, that’s enough.

In the city, whether on the streets or inside buildings, people were in disarray, their clothes tattered, with dirt on their faces, coated with blood, their eyes filled with terror, trembling in their fear.

Seventh Princess Eve caused the death of fifty thousand people in the City of Angels, with countless others wounded.

At this time, God Gray stepped in and took control of the situation.

He ignored the people’s suffering, keenly grasping the frailty and yearning in human nature, directly starting to preach and shepherd his followers.

"In disaster, some perish while others are reborn."

Gray hovered in the air, his voice resonating throughout the City of Angels: "Those who do not believe in me will suffer even after death, their souls burnt by fire for two hundred and thirty-three years."

Saying this, he opened his left hand.

Bang!

A deep green flame suddenly rose.

In the Flame Domain, countless blurred illusory figures wailed and screamed in agony.

"Those who believe in me can ascend into the Divine Country and achieve eternal life."

Gray opened his right hand.

A deep red glow intertwined, creating a peculiar scene.

Many indistinct figures were absorbed into this scarlet realm, their forms gradually shrinking and solidifying, growing white wings on their backs, becoming miniature angels just the size of a fingernail.

"Eternal life, my ass!"

A voice with a Shanghainese accent rang through the city, booming and breaking off God Gray’s speech.

A burly East Asian youth wearing casual clothes and sunglasses, holding a megaphone, fearlessly mocked: "When Eve was around, you didn’t dare to say a word."

"The moment she left, you started putting on airs, isn’t that awkward?"

"You’re far behind the [Prophet]!"

This was clearly a forced blackening.

Although God Gray’s current demeanor wasn’t as benevolent as before, coming off a bit cold and ruthless, without him, the entire City of Angels would have been massacred by Eve, and even the surrounding cities might have been affected.
