Ch 99: God of Faith

“What exactly are you trying to do?!”

Fu Chengyu felt somewhat helpless, never expecting that such a group of Special Grade Ability Users would be rendered powerless within Number 1’s Domain.

“I can choose not to kill you, and even ensure your safety. But in return, I expect your allegiance.”

“What? Allegiance to you? You want us to become traitors to humanity?!”

Fu Chengyu realized this was a perfect opportunity to unleash Extinction, but how could he contact Old Qin within the Domain? Would the Base personnel notice the anomaly here?

“To become a traitor, one must offer corresponding value. The value you can provide is negligible to me; perhaps your deaths would be of greater value.”

“But if you pledge allegiance, I will gather all the city’s zombies into designated areas. All survivors will be rescued; you won’t even have to live underground.”

“What will you choose, allegiance or death?”

Hearing Ji Chuan’s words, everyone was shocked. His proposal could undoubtedly restore the city’s prosperity, even returning it to its pre-Apocalypse state. But was it possible?

“What must we sacrifice for our allegiance?”

In their eyes, Ji Chuan was like a demon from Hell, tempting them. Such a precious gift would undoubtedly come at a terrible cost.

Ji Chuan pondered, how could he gain the people’s faith… He recalled the most common method among humans.

“Offer tribute to me, respect me, believe in me.”

Of course, this was temporary. Ji Chuan was already figuring out how to make Su Shen’s Special Ability cover a large area. Gaining loyalty was the safest course.

So simple? Fu Chengyu felt that this terrifying Zombie definitely had his own scheme.

“Han Xing, Old Qin has always been a Buddhist, with the most experience in religious matters. Why not learn from him how to offer tribute?”

Fu Chengyu began reminding everyone of the battle plan. They held this meeting to find ways to stall for time.

And right now, Number 1 hadn’t killed them directly and was still communicating. This was the best chance to activate Extinction.

Han Xing’s Special Ability was Sonic Pulse, but adjusting the frequency could achieve telepathic transmission. Although they were in the Domain, they needed to try contacting the outside world.

Han Xing immediately understood his leader’s meaning and activated his Special Ability towards the outside of the Conference Room.

But it was easily detected by Ji Chuan’s Energy Perception.

“Ugh!”

“Blame your leader; he’s the one who killed you.”

Ji Chuan’s words sent chills down everyone’s spines. The sounds of flesh tearing and bodies falling in the darkness were particularly jarring.

“I remember I only gave you two choices, allegiance or death, no other options.”

“If you try any more tricks, I don’t mind killing everyone in the entire Base.”

“And, why do you think I let the Blood Demon you spoke of leave last night? I can sense when Extinction is activated. Do you have any new plans?”

Only then did Fu Chengyu begin to fear; it seemed that his Hole Cards had all been seen through by the Zombie before him.

“How can we be sure you’re telling the truth?”

“You want me to prove it to you?”

“Ah!”

Fu Chengyu screamed, one arm severed. The sound of an arm hitting the ground echoed in the darkness.

“Leader!”

The others were extremely anxious; within this Domain, they couldn’t even see Ji Chuan.

Although the Base’s Higher-Ups were all Special Grade Ability Users, many lacked the combat skills of the Combat Team’s Captain.

A green light flashed in the darkness. Fu Chengyu’s arm was reattached by Ji Chuan.

“That’s Ye Yuwei’s Special Ability?!… Impossible…”

“Make your choice; in 3 seconds, it won’t be an arm, but everyone’s heads.”

“3.”

“2.”

“We surrender!”

Staying alive was paramount. If he didn’t agree, everyone in the entire Base would likely die.

“Then don’t resist. I need you to continue playing the role of leader.”

A pair of crimson eyes met Fu Chengyu’s. Although his heart was filled with resentment, with the lives of the entire Base’s members at stake, he had no other choice.

“Yes, Master, I will obey your commands.”

The Conference Room lit up. The pale figure stood before everyone again. All eyes were on Ji Chuan.

Fu Chengyu, like a placid Doll, knelt at Ji Chuan’s feet.

“Others, don’t just stand there, come forward one by one. But this is temporary; I will restore your senses soon.”

After Su Shen arrives.

“You monster! I won’t…”

Before Wu Ji could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground. No one in the Room even knew how Ji Chuan had done it.

“I will keep my promises, including the deaths of the rebels.”

Liang Kui was terrified, his tears ruining his makeup. Black tears streamed down his beard. He fearfully hid behind others, which displeased Ji Chuan.

“You go first; I don’t like that expression.”

Liang Kui trembled. A burly man cried like a young girl.

But Ji Chuan’s gaze turned cold, and he quickly moved, not daring to delay.

After a moment of eye contact, he finally stopped crying. His ruined makeup combined with his wooden expression looked strangely eerie.

The others reluctantly came forward as well.

Only the Higher-Ups had contact methods with other Bases.

Ji Chuan didn’t want to be exposed to other Bases before the experiment was successful.

“What name should I give myself…”

Ji Chuan pondered; the Zombie King would certainly not be accepted by humans.

Perhaps he should use the original name of this Special Ability.

He would act as the 【God of Faith】, accepting the offerings of Xinze City’s humans.

In the Apocalypse, humans wouldn’t place all their hope in God.

But Ji Chuan would portray himself as an Ability User possessing the 【God of Faith】, accepting the faith of humans in the Apocalypse to demonstrate his immense power, easily gaining their trust and dependence.

A smile touched his lips.

Then he gave orders to the Higher-Ups.

The Xinze City Ability User Base’s broadcast sounded; it was Fu Chengyu’s voice.

“Last night, our Base was attacked by a powerful Mutated Species. The Base is under lockdown because the Mutated Species wasn’t eliminated, and the Base could be invaded at any time.”

“But today, Han Xing and Minister Wu Ji personally went to fight and encountered a powerful Ability User, the possessor of the 【God of Faith】. As long as he receives sufficient Faith Power, he will perform miracles.”

“Although Han Xing and Minister Wu Ji died today, the God of Faith will become the hope of Xinze City!”

“Please join me in praying to him, becoming followers of the God of Faith, providing him with the power of our trust! He will lead us to the light!”

“With enough faith, the city’s zombies will be expelled! He will become our Xinze City’s Hole Card!”

Fu Chengyu’s words gave everyone hope, and they began to pray.

Costless effort for such tempting rewards was extremely cost-effective.

Their leader wouldn’t make such a joke.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and began praying to the God of Faith.

【God of Faith】 1.58%.
