385: The Only Thing Missing Was the Plague

"Deity!!!"

The Star Alliance Country has an exceptionally strong religious atmosphere; even the president takes office by placing his hand on the Bible and swearing an oath, saying "God bless you."

So when the people of the Star Alliance Country saw the golden halo behind Lu Li's head, they immediately lost their composure.

Among various religious artworks, the Holy Child and the Virgin Mary all have the same halo, but none are as awe-inspiring and mysterious as Lu Li's.

Doesn't this scene suggest that the terrorist is... a god?

"Then what about us, those who were attacked by him...?"

"God has abandoned us... and has sent down his wrath!"

At this moment, countless people were either shocked, disoriented, or had their beliefs shattered.

Other countries with strong religious traditions were also greatly shocked.

Lu Li just destroyed New York, turning it into a swamp, which echoes the biblical flood that destroyed the world.

Looking at the impoverished people shivering in the floodwaters, voices have been rising online:

"The Lord saw that the sins of the Star Alliance Country were great, and that he would bring a flood upon the earth."

"War, famine, death... the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are only missing the plague."

"Do you remember what he said last time? It was the Star Alliance Country's use of biological weapons that angered him, leading to today's situation."

"It's all the fault of the Star Alliance Country! My parents died from the bombing by this shameless nation, and now they've finally gotten their comeuppance."

Suddenly, quite a few people around the world sided with Lu Li.

The most direct manifestation of this is the power of wishes surging from the void.

Hundreds of millions of golden merits condensed into dewdrops, constantly appearing in the void.

Even more "golden lotuses of wish power" drifted down, and Lu Li counted them... a total of 88!

With its advanced network and large population, Blue Star never disappoints in terms of willpower.

Besides positive emotions, there is also a torrent of "negative energy" that flows in like ink.

With a thought, Lu Li conjured a semi-transparent dragon head from thin air, which began to devour the creature.

Human emotions also have their limits. There has already been a violent fluctuation before, and the current amount is only 500 million.

But it contains extreme hatred, and—fear!

Fear accounted for nearly 70% of the reaction; the whole group of Angsa were genuinely terrified of Lu Li.

Lu Li didn't care about what others thought of him. After swallowing the karmic power with his semi-manifested mental form, he wanted to put away the merit and the golden lotus.

However, their number is at least 1 billion, and the Heart Image also stores 2 billion "karmic forces," which is simply not enough to contain them all.

After all, it represents the spiritual power of an entire planet; one person could never possibly use it all up. Fortunately, we have the Kunlun Mirror.

At the Spiritual Vein, the Kunlun Mirror was still slowly extracting energy, and had already stored 2,000 units of spiritual energy!

"So much!"

Lu Li was afraid that drawing too much energy would hurt Blue Star, so he quickly told the Kunlun Mirror to stop drawing energy and store the merits and golden lotus first.

He then manifested a semi-transparent dragon head and probed into the seabed crevice spewed forth by the spiritual energy.

The "heart image" is a semi-manifestation, equivalent to Cultivator's limbs. Moreover, its "half-real, half-illusory" form prevents it from touching the rock, allowing it to easily sink into the Spiritual Vein to probe their internal condition.

Lu Li also saw the image simultaneously and immediately realized with shock. "This Spiritual Vein is connected to the Earth Core!"

No matter how many times the Kunlun Mirror draws, spiritual energy will always surge up from the bottom to replenish it, continuously.

But precisely because it concerns the Earth Core, Lu Li is unwilling to take any more risks.

Putting aside emotions and morality, Blue Star is his biggest trump card.

Our growth to this point, overcoming crisis after crisis, is all thanks to the civilization and wonders nurtured by this planet.

Lu Li certainly didn't want it to be harmed, and 2000 units of spiritual energy would be enough for a long time.

"Take 500 from the Kunlun Mirror, fill up the flying sword, and save the rest."

Lu Li made the arrangements, and the seven flying swords excitedly surrounded him to claim their share of the benefits.

At the Upper-Upper Fourth Rank, each of them ate 50 units until they were full.

At the same time, the Statue of Liberty also crossed the sea to join them, with 16 puppets standing on her shoulders.

This iconic building of the Star Alliance Country has been completely transformed into a weapon of war by Lu Li.

His recent appearance has attracted a lot of attention.

[Damn it! The Statue of Liberty has become a minion of the devil!]

Try to think more positively; maybe it's "following God's lead."

[Bullshit! You really think mutants are gods! This is just a supernatural phenomenon that we can't understand yet! Just wait, the government will eliminate it sooner or later.]

[Foolish Star Alliance Country citizens, your Deity have rejected you, and that is the best proof of it.]

Amid the debate, hundreds of millions of wishes have converged.

The Statue of Liberty instinctively inhaled into her body, her form creaking and emitting a faint glow, as if undergoing a transformation.

But it was too large; after swirling a few times, the radiance quickly dissipated, and the transformation ended.

This breakthrough to the Statue of Liberty was a major achievement, and having been refined over a century, it has a solid foundation and is worth investing in.

So Lu Li raised his hand and drew 500 million merits from the Kunlun Mirror, along with 50 "golden lotuses," and poured them into it.

Merit is one thing, but the "Golden Lotus" is a pure accumulation of positive emotions, which is of great benefit to both Cultivator and magical artifacts!

Of course, it was also very precious. The Azure Dragon broke through and manifested its Manifestation, and it only used two of them after gritting its teeth.

With a full 50 flowers right now, the effect is naturally extraordinary.

As soon as it entered the goddess's body, it immediately caused the radiance to surge, covering the goddess's entire body.

In just about 10 seconds, the light faded, and the Statue of Statue of Liberty's metallic body began to radiate a "precious light," which was exactly the appearance of a fifth-grade magic weapon.

The transformation was so easy that there were even 30 "golden lotuses" left unused.

Lu Li gained a more intuitive understanding of the effects of the "Golden Lotus".

The goddess continued refining instinctively, and after a short while, she suddenly felt a mental fluctuation—hunger.

This fluctuation is familiar; I also mentioned it when Flying Sword broke through before, saying it was about to devour gold.

The Statue of Liberty is clearly about to undergo a transformation to the fourth rank!

This was no longer just the effect of the "Golden Lotus," which surprised Lu Li somewhat.

"The Statue of Statue of Liberty's foundation is even better than expected."

The Statue of Statue of Liberty been refined by the power of people's wishes for over a hundred years, and was awakened by two astral Divine Soul, making it a top-tier potential artifact.

It was only because of its large size that it had a low rank; now it is precisely returning to its rightful place.

Lu Li was naturally happy to see it happen, but judging from her figure, the goddess must have a huge appetite.

Lu Li immediately recalled that someone had left a message on his account saying that there were hundreds of tons of gold in the underground vaults of the Federal Reserve Bank.

This much should be enough, so Lu Li immediately took out his phone to search for the location of the vault, but the first search result was a news article:

[Federal Reserve Bank's underground vaults urgently moved gold after attack on New Covenant City]

It turns out that as soon as the three-headed Demon Dragon appeared, the army urgently moved the gold, but this was captured on video by a helpful netizen.

"They've moved to... Pine Base, the largest military base in the northeastern part of the Star Alliance Country."

Lu Li easily found the location and immediately wanted to go there. Anyway, he and his wives would need gold for their future breakthroughs, so it would be good to prepare some.

But that's just how coincidental things are in this world.

Inside the operations command center at Pine Base, General Fenton personally pressed the launch button.

At an altitude of 15,000 meters, a Reaper drone dropped an unremarkable aerial bomb.

Guided by the satellite, this object fell towards the Lu Li zone.

With a muffled thud at an altitude of 10,000 meters, many small green balls, each the size of a ping-pong ball, were scattered.

I suddenly have a headache, I'm so sorry~~~
