Godlike

How would you know if you didn't try?!

"Space-based weapons haven't been used for many years, and they've only been used once, so they need major repairs."

It wasn't Ren who spoke, but the Chaos Bride suddenly appeared in the room.

The Original stared at her with wide eyes.

"Of course, if you're not convinced, we can spar with each other in the future. I'm also very curious about what makes you think you're the strongest after being sealed away for so many years."

The Chaos Bride wore a faint smile, and her slightly arrogant tone greatly displeased the Original.

"Fine! You can choose the time and place. If I don't subdue you, I'm not the Original!"

The Original, the two sides were naturally at odds.

"You weren't the Original."

The Chaos Bride blinked.

"You have no name, only the code name of the Fourth Progenitor."

"Tch! Don't try to talk your way out of this!"

Ren: "As long as no one dies, you can do whatever you want with her afterwards."

He didn't care.

And it will also teach the Original Chu a lesson, so she won't always think she's invincible.

Just then, Aiba Asagi finally had a chance to interject. "I've already turned off the global live stream, but I've had Mogwai create a lot of bots to release clips and recordings, preparing to let this matter escalate further."

"Okay, I'll leave the online stuff to you."

Ren nodded.

Then, he looked at Jada: "What's the Sanctuary Jumping Organization saying now?"

Upon hearing this, the Chaos Bride abandoned her previous arrogance and instead spread her hands, revealing a helpless expression. "What else can we do? The command center is in complete chaos, and the rear headquarters has been demoralized. If this continues, many people will probably be removed from their positions."

"Although the Sanctuary Treaty Organization will not collapse, it has lost its credibility and deterrent power."

The Sanctuary Treaty Organization was established to deter troublesome countries or organizations, and therefore maintains a fairly large military force.

This military force is one that no single country in the world can withstand alone.

Therefore, whenever the Sanctuary Organization Army are deployed, no country dares to resist; other countries at most issue condemnations.

This is the impact of strength.

However, this time Ren's actions were directly shattered by the Sanctuary Organization Army.

In addition, there have been numerous casualties and losses of military equipment, resulting in economic losses that have already exceeded $300 billion. This is just an estimate, and the subsequent impact will only be higher.

Someone has to take the blame for such terrible consequences.

Although it was Ren who destroyed the Sanctuary Organization Army, they would never dare to hold him accountable. Naturally, those hawks who advocated war would become the target of public criticism.

Hawks in several key participating countries will face criticism and downfall.

The True Ancestor of Vampires will not fall, but it will remove the invincible filter from those who have always feared him, and opposition organizations within the country will become active again.

It's easy to lose credibility, but it's very difficult to rebuild it.

"The War King Territory and the Extinction Dynasty won't have an easy time for a while, but fortunately, my Chaos Zone won't be affected."

The Chaos Bride said with a smile.

"I was right not to join the war."

Upon hearing this...

Nangong Nayue, Aya Tokoyogi, and the others silently complained in their hearts that the Chaos Bride was the sixth child.

It was only because she had already lost to Ren once on Itogami Island that she knew the Sanctuary Organization Army was no match for Ren and therefore did not intervene to help.

Otherwise, the Chaos Bride would get beaten up again, and the beating would be broadcast live to a global audience.

"On another note, once the Fourth True Ancestor's Night Empire is successfully established, the Chaos Zone will be the first to publicly recognize the legitimacy of the state."

Even so, Ren had already figured out how to punish the Chaos Bride.

It's decided, let her do it herself for one night.

The Chaos Bride was discussing serious matters, suddenly felt a chill for no apparent reason, but after glancing around, she didn't notice anything unusual.

Ren didn't intend to punish the Chaos Bride right now.

It's still early, so we can strike while the iron is hot.

Ren decided to take his men to the Itogami City, the Keystone Gate that serves as the government center.

Because of the war, the streets were deserted, and the Keystone Gate were tightly closed, with a number of armored vehicles and dozens of guards stationed at the entrance.

Upon seeing Ren and his group arrive, and after recognizing who they were, the security guards all retreated, and none of them stepped forward to stop them.

Putting aside the fact that their chief instructor Nangong Nayue, was there, even if he weren't, Ren was a ruthless man who single-handedly tore apart two True Ancestors and the entire Sanctuary Organization Army; the rifles in their hands were no different from firewood sticks.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would never provoke the powerful and influential Ren.

We can't afford to mess with them!

Soon, Ren found several powerful directors and councilors of the Artificial Island Management Corporation in the main office of the Keystone Gate.

These once highly respected and powerful figures were now staring at them with expressions of terror.

Nobody knew what Ren, whom they didn't want to mess with, was up to when he suddenly showed up at their door.

"Huh? Dad, you're here too?"

"Asagi? Is that you?"

Aiba Asagi, who had followed, spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

One of the middle-aged men, who resembled Aiba Asagi, looked at his daughter in disbelief.

He couldn't understand how his daughter had managed to appear behind Ren.

Chapter 364 Godlike One

Is this still my obedient daughter?

Because he was often busy with work, Aiba Asagi's father rarely paid attention to what was happening at home.

Even her mother's illness was always cared for by hired caregivers and Aiba Asagi herself.

Because she harbored resentment towards her father, Aiba Asagi moved out of her original home and rented a place on her own after her mother's condition worsened.

Even the money for rent was earned from her odd jobs.

Therefore, it can be said that he doesn't understand his daughter at all.

That being said, since Ren cured Aiba Asagi's mother's illness, her hatred for her father has not been so deep. Now, seeing her father fearing Ren's arrival just like those ordinary people who have never seen the world, she feels a very complicated feeling.

Is your father a member of parliament?

I asked Ren asked.

He didn't remember it very clearly.

"Yes, it's been like this since I can remember, but I've always been very busy."

Aiba Asagi nodded.

"In that case, let him serve as a director of the Management Corporation for a period of time."

Ren said casually.

The others in the office were also taken aback when they heard him say that.

The position of the largest director of the Artificial Management Corporation has always been controlled by the Yase Family.

Since Motoki Yaze was arrested, this position has remained vacant. While the Yase Family was still discussing who should take over, news broke that the Sanctuary Treaty Organization had declared war. Just as the Yase Family was debating whether to surrender or betray Ren, the war ended.

Before they could even process the news of their victory, Ren personally led a group to their door.

Now that this ruthless person has specifically named Aiba Asagi's father as a director, the other politicians are absolutely unwilling from the bottom of their hearts.

But there's nothing you can do if you don't want to.

Even the True Ancestor of Vampires couldn't resist it, let alone them?

Ren seemed to have sensed their thoughts as well, and looked at the other directors and members of parliament. "Who agrees with my suggestion just now, and who disagrees?"

To be honest.

Apart from Aiba Asagi's father, everyone else wanted to object.

But the thought of the potential consequences of his opposition made him keep his mouth shut, lest his mouth, honed over decades in officialdom, suddenly spew out some nonsense.

Actually, Ren himself really hoped that someone would stand up and say "I object".

Now that everything has been resolved, he doesn't mind staging a "you drive a Mazda, no wonder you're stuck in traffic" scenario.

Unfortunately, these people were all very shrewd. After a few seconds of silence, someone immediately stood up and shouted, "Perfect decision! Even if you hadn't said anything, we were planning to nominate Mr. Lan Yu as a director of the Artificial Management Corporation."

The others were immediately astonished when they saw who had uttered those two sentences.

Is it really appropriate for you two, as members of the Yase Family, to say these things?!

However, they quickly realized that this was not out of genuine loyalty, but rather a way of showing their devotion to Ren.

The Yase Family, as the most powerful family on Itogami Island, controls many of the Itogami Island's vital interests.

Because they didn't express their loyalty before the battle, they are naturally the most panicked now that Ren has won. And if they can show their loyalty to Ren now, the possibility of being purged afterward is greatly reduced.

Thinking about this, many people couldn't help but regret why their reaction was so slow!

Of course, the most enviable person is Aiba Asagi's father.

The Artificial Island Management Corporation originally had dozens of councilors, and Aiba Asagi's father was just one of the most ordinary ones.

Now, because of his daughter's connections, his official position has been promoted like a rocket, and the key is that no one dares to object.

"Alright, the remaining tasks for the Empire are now in your hands."

Ren didn't mind delegating some power.

After all, it's not easy to rebuild a political team in such a large country.

It's better to make the most of what we have; it will save us a lot of trouble later.

"In addition, you should also draft a registration document for the Fourth Ancestor and a script for his televised address as soon as possible."

"Oh, grant official citizenship to everyone currently remaining on the island and to the demons. As for those who left the island before the war, we can leave them alone."

After he finished speaking, Aiba Asagi's father immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Ren, and said "Yes" in a firm and powerful voice.

Subsequently, both the Original and Aiba Asagi were left at the Keystone Gate by Ren.

They will be needed for subsequent televised speeches.

Ren himself returned to Nangong Nayue's home.

I sat on the sofa, turned on the TV, and almost every TV program, including Tokyo TV, was broadcasting news about the Battle of Itogami Island.

Although the live broadcast and the war have ended, the impact of Ren's victory is only just beginning.

As footage from different angles was released, more people noticed the details of the battlefield.

However, the highest search rate was for those who defeated the Sanctuary Organization Army.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ren's name was exposed.

However, because all the surveillance equipment was positioned too far away, Ren's appearance was not made public.

Even so, Ren still gained a huge number of fans worldwide.

And some people even gave him a very fitting nickname: the Godlike One.

Although there is a suspicion of plagiarism of Michael Godlike One in the Bible Church, the title here is more of a literal translation.

No one is certain whether Ren is a god, so in the absence of a confirmed identity, he is referred to as Godlike One.

If a miracle were to actually occur in the future, the word "like" would naturally be removed.

But Ren didn't pay much attention to this; he was more concerned about news from the island nation's government than about these empty titles.

Because of the defeat of the Sanctuary Organization Army, the female prime minister of the Cheli Giant, who had originally shouted "resistance against aggression," was completely silenced, and only some official media used various "unease" as news headlines.
