Come Before Our God
"Whoosh!"
Ian appeared out of nowhere, and no one knew that he had gained a great deal from his trip.
His Spatial Combination Belt was bulging with supplies, but the food and medical supplies stored there were of little importance to him.
However, the rare metals and strategic materials contained within are very valuable.
Whether it's weaponry, elemental alloys, or blueprint designs, there's enough for Ejin City to get started on some military projects.
And...
Among the recently defeated Congo Republic, there must be survivors of scientific research.
If only he could give them some tools that could facilitate their research, such as [Performance-Enhancing Liquid] to boost brain activity.
Or perhaps give them some pointers on the future direction of technological development.
It seems that some scenes from science fiction novels in my past life could be recreated in this world.
Things like Two-Dimensional Foils and Droplets are somewhat difficult to work with.
However, with the help of cheating tools, it's not entirely hopeless.
By then...
Even without relying on the gadgets in his 4D Pocket, he could probably easily explore the Dark Continent using his technological abilities.
He simply didn't believe it.
No matter how bizarre the abilities of those enormous creatures in the Dark Continent, can they possibly defy the physical laws of the objective world?
When Ian appeared on the field.
Xiupa was walking among the survivors who had already been rescued.
Ian stood suspended in mid-air.
No one noticed him.
He witnessed the interaction between Xiupa and the group of survivors, who tearfully told him their stories, and Xiupa, his eyes also reddening, hugged them one by one, gently comforting them.
"This guy... isn't bad..."
At first, Ian thought the other party was just an incompetent president.
Unexpectedly, the other party had such influence among the people of Congo.
Really.
If we exclude Nen Abilities, we should not underestimate anyone who reaches the top in their field.
Without a doubt, whether it's political posturing or a performance.
The other party has the ability to empathize with the vast majority of the people, and their special talent should not be underestimated.
At least, Ian, without the necessary tools, didn't think he could do it.
Based on this alone, Xiupa is indeed a valuable asset, and Ian is also very satisfied with his "flexibility".
Xiupa comforted everyone present.
Soon, the panicked hearts of the crowd were calmed down.
However, when he glanced up, he suddenly noticed Ian standing in mid-air.
Although he had only known Ian for a short time, his movements were almost instinctive; he knelt on the ground cleanly and efficiently, his actions quite exaggerated.
This also shows how quickly Xiupa adapted to his new identity.
Having seen the God, one naturally has to devoutly offer up everything, even if it's self-deception, one can hypnotize oneself into believing that the other is the true god.
He Xiupa that he had encountered the most precious opportunity of his life.
The others naturally couldn't understand what Xiupa was thinking.
His sudden action stunned everyone present.
I completely don't understand why their president would do such a thing!
"President Xiupa, what are you doing!?"
Surrounding Xiupa, a group of survivors stared in disbelief. Xiupa, with his head bowed and respectfully prostrating himself on the ground, then spoke.
"Everyone... come with me to see our God!"
Upon hearing his words, everyone seemed to realize something, their pupils contracted, and they immediately looked up at the sky.
Under the sun's rays.
They saw it, the not-so-tall figure floating in mid-air.
They were some distance apart and couldn't see each other clearly, but combined with President Xiupa's reaction, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts.
A massive Red Giants stood respectfully guarding the figure on either side. Although the figure was not particularly imposing, it seemed to exude an aura of authority.
A strange, complex emotion welled up in everyone's hearts, a mixture of awe and dependence.
Is this... the God who saved us...?
"Splash..."
Led by Xiupa, one survivor after another knelt on the ground, just like him.
They muttered incantations to themselves, and even though they didn't know the name of the person before them who was called a god, nothing could stop them from offering their loyalty to him.
The more suffering a person endures, the more they yearn for divine protection at this time, as if their spirit has found solace.
At this moment, Ian didn't have so many thoughts in his mind.
He hadn't expected that this guy, Xiupa, would notice him, and even make such an exaggerated move, drawing everyone's attention to him. He was still wearing his [Superpower Hat], and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Cough cough..."
Ian, still concerned about his image, quickly removed the hat with a finger pointing upwards.
Just then, the giant Toy Soldiers stretched out his palm and held Ian in his hand.
"Xiupa, have all the survivors of this city been brought here?"
Ian stood calmly on the giant's palm, slowly approaching the crowd on the ground, and then spoke calmly.
As the giant hand drew closer, the survivors grew increasingly awe-inspiring, and their faith in President Xiupa's words deepened.
They thought to themselves.
Although the God looks very young, to put it bluntly, he looks more like a handsome young human.
However... the power that wields the incredibly strong giants cannot be faked!
Perhaps, the god before us is still just a god who has not yet grown up.
Therefore, they were mercifully saved.
"Reporting to God, all the survivors of Pino City have gathered here as you commanded..."
Xiupa quickly replied.
Ian nodded.
He had previously used his X-ray vision to see no other densely populated areas, so he figured that the nearly 10,000 people in front of him were probably the only remaining population in the city.
"In that case, let's leave. There are other survivors in the city who urgently need our help."
During this time, V5 will probably need to figure out how to deal with Sashado.
Taking advantage of the other party's distraction, Ian decided to transfer a large amount of land and cities belonging to the Congo Republic directly to Ejin City, and take the people with him.
Hearing his words, Xiupa was taken aback and said somewhat urgently.
"But... God, those... those..."
With so many people in front of him, he didn't know how to explain to Ian, not to mention the strategic reserve materials.
After all, he had considered that these places would probably be taken over by V5 again in the future.
If we don't take it, leaving it to V5 is like giving the enemy an advantage!
After experiencing the V5 army's indiscriminate slaughter, even Xiupa, who had once aligned himself with V5, was now utterly disappointed with those political leaders!
And upon hearing his words...
Ian shook his head at him, a smile playing on his lips, revealing an expression of approval.
Seeing the other person's expression, Xiupa was taken aback, then realized what was going on.
He breathed a sigh of relief and was happy that he was now following a god with such a good temper.
Soon, Ian and the others set off again.
At the same time.
Located on the site of the remote Peji City.
In its place, the Forest was filled with trees that had long been scorched and cleared by the bombardment of the Roses, leaving a huge blackened clearing.
Several airships were forcibly towed down from the sky.
