Ch 172: Humanity’s savior god
The flames of fire erupted repeatedly in the Human capital city, but were extinguished completely by the water that suddenly appeared.
Ji Chuan flew into the city’s airspace before clearly seeing the enemy’s appearance; they were a group of ugly goblins. They were short, with large noses, and their faces were full of wrinkles, making it impossible to discern their ages.
Each goblin had a different appearance, like humans, but they all wielded fine weapons, launching an attack on the city. They let out strange battle cries that Ji Chuan found somewhat comical.
“Foreign races invading the Human capital city, if you continue, I will annihilate you in the name of the God of Faith.”
Ji Chuan’s body seemed to radiate holy light, shining brightly in the night, his voice echoing throughout the city. The fleeing citizens looked towards Ji Chuan’s location in surprise.
“It’s Lord God of Faith! We’re saved!”
This was the first time a god had stepped forward during a foreign race invasion. This god seemed truly determined to protect humanity!
The Goblin King in the rear looked questioningly at his Military Advisor. “Didn’t they say that the Human Race didn’t have any powerful gods?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, until yesterday, indeed no gods appeared. They were about to decide to execute the Goddess of Luck. This god may have only appeared today.”
The Goblin King seemed to be contemplating something. If they only appeared today, there shouldn’t be a deep bond between them and their believers. Even if the god is strong, they shouldn’t be able to fully exert their divine power at the moment.
“Continue the attack.”
The Goblin army had arrived, they had already used a lot of ammunition. If they didn’t take this city, the cost of their consumption would be enormous.
A large cannonball flew towards Ji Chuan, exploding with great force in the night sky.
“Hahaha, what god? Let’s blow him to smithereens!”
The Goblin Gunner was very excited. His brave performance would surely be rewarded by the King after the battle.
The hope that had just been ignited in the hearts of the citizens plummeted after this explosion. Most gods’ bodies were only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and the previous attack probably annihilated the god.
The fire disappeared, but people discovered that the God of Faith remained unmoved. He was still as holy and flawless as before, the cannonball leaving no mark on him.
A hint of panic flashed in the Goblin King’s eyes. Could this be a Chief God? Of the same level as their own race’s god?
The Goblin army felt an immense gravitational pressure. One moment they were invading the city, the next they were all sprawled on the ground, their weapons falling beside them.
Some brave humans had already picked up their weapons and started attacking the goblins.
The screams of goblins began to ring out across the city.
A person wearing a mecha flew quickly from the rear lines.
“Release my believers. Since humanity has awakened a god, I will have them retreat.”
“Don’t speak to me wearing that mask.”
With a mere thought from Ji Chuan, the mecha on the other person’s face disappeared.
Ji Chuan was also surprised. This ability was one that only Wu had, belonging to Xu Xiao. Ji Chuan suddenly remembered that he had swallowed the Crystal Cores of Xu Xiao, Yu Yin, and the Blindfolded Man. Their abilities had apparently been absorbed by him.
The Mecha God was somewhat surprised, revealing the face of a man. He seemed to not understand how the other party had done it.
“You dare show me disrespect? Do you want to start a war between gods?!”
“Equal strength is called a war. This is called, a crushing defeat.”
Before the mecha person could react, Ji Chuan grabbed his neck and slammed him into the ground.
A huge crater appeared in the city square, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
The Goblin King, holding a telescope-like device, nervously observed the situation. Their god was being beaten to a pulp?! Their god was a Chief God, was this even possible?
The Mecha God felt a sharp pain in his head, and cracks appeared in his mecha. Was this child-like god a Hercules? How could a simple throw have such force?
If not for the protection of his mecha, he would have already been smashed into god-shards.
Rage filled his eyes, he emitted a golden light, his mecha reformed completely, and he quickly flew towards Ji Chuan.
He raised his hand preparing to unleash a powerful laser.
“Mecha disabled.”
Ji Chuan just wanted to conduct an experiment. This was the Blindfolded Man’s green Crystal Core, 【the Combat Rule】 ability. Ji Chuan wanted to see how effective this Monochrome Crystal Core was.
The opponent’s mecha suddenly disappeared. He was now naked, arms raised, looking angrily at Ji Chuan in mid-air.
His body rapidly descended, seemingly not understanding what had happened.
“How could…” He looked at his naked body, his eyes filled with shock, before falling back into the crater.
This time caused him intense pain. Without his mecha, he was just an ordinary person with slightly better physical fitness.
Ji Chuan was no longer surprised by the opponent’s resemblance to Shi Kai from Xinze City. It seemed that these similar special abilities were mysteriously connected to the users in his world.
The Goblin King had begun to panic. If the god died, the Goblin race was finished. He shouted through a loudspeaker, “Please show mercy! The goblins will retreat!”
Unexpectedly, Ji Chuan responded in a voice that could be heard throughout the city, “If you wish to leave safely, the Goblin Kingdom will become a subordinate state of humanity, serving humanity. Your god will also become my subordinate god, loyal to me. Tonight, I have given you a warning. If you disagree, you will have no return.”
The Goblin King remained silent, but a flash of light appeared, and he found Ji Chuan standing before him. His gaze was terrifying, and the Goblin King had no doubt that he would die the next second.
“I agree! The Goblin race will be loyal to you! Loyal to humanity!”
“Use your tool to announce this, so that everyone in the city can hear it.”
The Goblin King raised the loudspeaker again and announced in a loud voice, “The Goblin race is immediately withdrawing. From now on, our kingdom will be a subordinate state of the Human race. Our race will forever be loyal to Lord God of Faith!”
The citizens of the city erupted in cheers. This was the first time in history that a god had stood up for them during a foreign invasion.
And their god was so powerful, subjugating the enemy with crushing force. The Human race, who had always been at the mercy of others, stood up tonight.
“Thank you, Lord God of Faith! May Lord God of Faith forever shine!”
Ji Chuan’s figure disappeared. The Goblin King slumped in his chair, his face grim. He said in a voice loud enough for those nearby to hear.
“Military Advisor, your position is revoked. You will be executed tomorrow. Drag him away, and keep a close watch.”
“Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty! I don’t know anything about this! Your Majesty!…”
Ji Chuan came before the Mecha God. Many citizens had gathered around the crater to look at the naked man. Some mothers covered their children’s eyes.
Ji Chuan used Holy Healing Radiance on him. He regained consciousness, and a star-like light floated from his body and entered Ji Chuan’s body.
“Thank you, Lord God of Faith, for sparing my life. I will become your subordinate god, loyal to you.”
After speaking, he quickly summoned his mecha again, covered his body, and quickly left.
The surrounding residents knelt down when they saw the God of Faith. Ji Chuan felt the surging power of faith.
The woman who had poured water for Ji Chuan was now weeping. This god, covered in mud, came to listen to the people’s voices. This would be the greatest god in human history.
She knelt down, her hands clasped together, “I will follow Lord God of Faith for the rest of my life. I hope Lord God of Faith will shine eternally.”
