Pope Nicholas strode out of the manor hall. Zelta watched his retreating figure and snorted coldly, his disdain evident on his face.
"Tell me the truth, what's your assessment of the Pale God's strength?"
The assistant, seemingly expecting this, switched the images projected by the brain-computer interface and then exclaimed in astonishment, "Unbelievable, sir."
"According to our investigation, the people He pulled from the river of time that day were all real! The memories of all the resurrected people were stuck at the moment when His feet or the palace was about to be crushed. And the energy fluctuation instrument showed that there was no energy fluctuation at the scene at that time. The Pale God's mythical operation did not cause any entropy increase reaction!"
In addition, Pale God's behavior online and in games has been rather strange lately. According to backend data, he has made some statements online that he had never made before.
For example, in the short video platform's backend, the number of replies to "Pale God" insulting others far exceeds the number of actual replies. Simply put, perhaps some people have completely disappeared under some unknown force—from their individual identities to their memories and traces of existence. Perhaps they clashed with "Pale God" online, and then their entire being, along with any trace of their existence in the world, and even the memories of them in people's minds, vanished completely. This is why, although "Pale God" clearly posted a reply in the backend, there is no record of that reply being published.
The same applies to games. By observing his multiplayer game records, you can see that many normal game records will be missing one or even more players. For example, in a 5v5 game, the current record may show 5v4, or other data.
Therefore, based on current observations, the power of the Pale God is beyond human resistance, sir.
Even if we develop for another ten thousand years, we will still be far from being able to reach the power of the Pale God.
The concept of time travel has been discussed since the Industrial Age tens of thousands of years ago, but to this day, it remains a dream in human imagination and has long been determined to be impossible to achieve in reality.
But that Pale God could do it easily.
Furthermore, based on the analysis of the power of the Pale God today, the descriptions of his power in all the events recorded in ancient historical records, and even in the analysis of the Pale God, may be more authentic.
This would require adding global life-sensing capabilities and the power to propel the entire Southern Continent. Of course, these powers have likely undergone further advancements since then.
"Crunch..." Zelta's toy creaked as he squeezed it, his face turning completely grim.
"Is it really that powerful?"
The analysis of the Pale God's power was not good news for him at all.
Because this means that these high-ranking officials who have dominated the Human Federation for thousands of years are, in the face of that Pale God, no different from any other commoner who can be crushed at will.
This means that these powerful figures who exploit ordinary people are now nothing more than objects to be exploited at will by others!
"Ah!" Zelta's face turned pale, and the fear and helplessness in her heart were beyond measure.
Now, the only thing humanity can do is submit!
"An order has been issued: all of Pale God's needs are now federal top directives! No one is allowed to provoke him!"
Especially those small businesses or gangs—anyone who dares to harbor even the slightest thought of coveting that Pale God will be subject to Human Federation purge order!
Before the words were even finished, the assistant, who had just been listening cautiously to Zelta's words, suddenly changed his expression.
"Sir, Vampire claiming to be Duoxia just went to the Human Federation Government..."
The world is indeed civilized now; even the thinking of the upper class is completely different from that of ten thousand years ago.
If this were during the Papal State era, no matter how powerful Norton was, no matter how many lives were lost, he would still be able to crush him.
However, nowadays, politicians and even powerful figures from various countries easily give in after only looking at a little data analysis.
Whether they back down or not is not important.
Because Norton doesn't care.
"Holy crap..."
A string of filthy insults rang out from the phone. Norton didn't have a brain-computer interface; he could only use a modern, phone-like brain-computer interface to play games.
The times were completely different from the ones before he traveled here. The games of today were all kinds of brain-computer interface simulation games, which were extremely playable and addictive. Of course, Norton also stayed at home and was immersed in games every day.
"You vile creature, how dare you curse me! I am Norton, I am the Pale God, and the very foundation of your existence shall be utterly eradicated by me!"
Norton's frantic roar echoed through the dilapidated monastery. If one looked through the window of a small room, one could see a slender, pale monster lying on the bed, engrossed in operating a mobile phone.
"What kind of operation is this? Even the lowly commoners who were about to be boiled alive ten thousand years ago were more efficient than you! You damned piece of trash, you are destined for complete annihilation!"
Angry roars echoed from the small monastery lodgings, startling the loyal Vampire standing guard nearby.
Only Abraham, sitting at the entrance of the monastery, chuckling to himself while holding his phone, had long since become accustomed to this.
"Modern technology is amazing! Modern technology is truly ingenious! To play with a mobile phone, His Majesty actually shut down his omniscience. If the Papal State such technology back then, His Majesty probably wouldn't have had any thoughts of resistance at all."
Abraham was right. To enjoy the pleasure of surfing the internet, Norton never once activated his Pressure perception, which covered the entire universe and even the entire timeline, just so he could surf the web properly. (The timeline theory in this article is: Norton's timeline is the true timeline, but Norton can influence it. For example, he can see the destruction of the future universe and everything else, but his arrival and actions will rewrite the process. As long as he exists, the timeline is constantly changing. Therefore, although he previously possessed omniscience and could see everything, completely different and new things will still emerge in the timeline where he exists.)
Norton's life has been completely transformed since he signed the peace agreement with the federal government.
First, the buildings have been completely redesigned using nanotechnology, a technology that allows Norton to alter their appearance at will. Then, the Human Federation sent supplies to deceive the Pale God —modern mobile phones and hibernation game pods.
The high command of the Human Federation had long anticipated that the ancient people of ten thousand years ago would have no resistance whatsoever to modern technology and the internet.
As expected, it was exactly as predicted.
Ever since the various electronic devices were delivered, the aloof and indifferent Norton began to undergo a noticeable transformation day by day.
At first, he would only occasionally, when he was in a human mood, sit on the pure silver throne and check the news on his phone.
Gradually, he started using short video platforms.
From then on, Norton's humanity grew stronger with each passing day, and his humanity became increasingly vivid.
Later, he would hold his phone in his hand for a moment, playing with it for a week without closing his eyes. His humanity was so vivid that at certain moments, Little Norton would sit on the pure silver throne, looking down at the videos on his phone and chuckling.
Later, it escalated further, with constant giggling coming from the palace.
The Pale God who sat on the throne had lost all Divinity and was now just like any other ordinary person, chuckling foolishly at his phone.
Gradually, he became dissatisfied with short video platforms and started getting involved in modern games.
This thing is like poison to DP; ever since people started playing the game, the death toll within the Human Federation has been rising daily.
But it must be said that this was indeed a good way to appease that Pale God.
In just two months, Norton went from being aloof and arrogant to a seasoned internet user, even browsing inappropriate websites, which is truly despicable.
They even go so far as to use their immense power to engage in cyberbullying, annihilating anyone who dares to offend them online!
The number of people eliminated by him each day can reach dozens, depending entirely on how many games Norton plays in a day.
At this point, he stopped mentioning anything about humanity.
To cover up his crimes, he completely erased all traces and memories of these people's existence.
In this way, he can still stand on the moral high ground and point fingers!
You son of a bitch!
But let alone Norton, even the bitter and resentful Abraham and the mentally challenged fairy Elizabeth are now immersed in the internet.
After the establishment of the vast Pale Holy Court, the three leaders did nothing but spend their days chuckling to themselves while glued to their phones. All the scheduled visits by dignitaries and promotional meetings were canceled, leaving only three netizens who were constantly laughing like idiots.
