The world today truly deserves to be called a civilized world. The Human Federation, controlled by capital, has deeply engraved the words "civilization" and "freedom" into its very core.
The freedom is such that even girls as young as their teens can freely showcase themselves on official video websites in order to gain a lot of praise and offline dates.
Freedom extends to divorced women with children who can perform erotic dances online and claim to be elderly.
Even more so, there are those with darker psychological states who vent their emotions and indulge their words and actions on the internet.
Today's era is one of flourishing diversity, but it is also an era completely controlled by capital, making everyone feel immense pressure.
From personal brain-computer interface surgery to the upgrading of brain-computer interfaces, from Evolution Elixir to clothing, food, housing, and transportation, from the necessity of high medical expenses and extremely expensive brain-computer interface immunotherapy drugs, the pressure of funding is like a mountain weighing on everyone, forcing them to continue the life of the lowest class of cattle and horses that has lasted for thousands of years, toiling for money every day.
This leads to an absolute distortion of a person's character and thoughts.
The incompetent often rant and rave online, while the wealthy live in a real-world Heaven. Such a vast disparity, if even slightly revealed, is seen as 'revealing a corner of the heavenly palace,' thus fueling resentment towards the rich and increasing hostility.
This, in turn, makes Norton's network environment less than ideal.
"You piece of trash, do you even know how to play? If you don't know how, go back to your mother's womb and be reborn! You son of a bitch, if you can't play, why are you even playing ranked? Do you think your dad's rank is easy to climb?"
A harsh curse rang out from the nano-external drive gaming device. Abraham, who was playing on his modern mobile phone outside the room, immediately lowered his head, cold sweat pouring down his back.
Since His Majesty's resurgence, aside from initially displaying his terrifying strength, he has fallen into complete silence after coming into contact with modern networks.
This silence is far greater than it was back then. When His Majesty revived last time, although he remained silent, he still tried to cause trouble in various ways, such as distributing holy water, replacing the image and name of God, and even cooperating with the Boya Empire to claim the Pale God.
Although he did not immediately show any desire for power or a need for advancement, his actions, in retrospect, were all preparations for, or attempts to, advance his career.
But things are different now.
When His Majesty was just recovering, he was indifferent and aloof. He crushed and killed tens of thousands of people right after his recovery, which can be described as cold-blooded and ruthless.
Although for some unknown reason, he later insisted on reconciling with the Human Federation, and even pulled those 100,000 tragically killed people back from the river of life, which can be described as a godlike power.
Abraham believed this was yet another new scheme by His Majesty, aimed at so-called rediscovering humanity, or perhaps fulfilling some deeper desire.
But the outcome was completely unexpected.
He was completely changed after he came into contact with the internet, a completely new thing.
Norton, formerly known as the Pale God, is now known as the Internet Addiction God Norton. He rarely leaves his house, spending his days either lying on the sofa playing games or watching videos, or secretly watching porn in his room. For a full six months, Norton has stubbornly refused to leave his home, declining all invitations, and is hopelessly addicted to the internet.
There's no way around it. Norton has only seen the internet and games of the smartphone era. Now that technology has developed to this extent, the number of good games and movies stored up over the years is simply countless, and the variety of online entertainment is unimaginable. Anyone would become addicted to them.
Not to mention Norton, even Abraham and Elizabeth stopped their daily greetings and became hopelessly addicted to the internet. This collection of human culture and spiritual essence was like a drug to these people of the old era, making them unable to resist.
According to the Human Federation, it would take Norton hundreds of years to completely destroy it.
This outcome is unimaginable to anyone; the Pale God, addicted to the internet, has banned himself without any human intervention.
However, this does not mean that Norton is truly harmless.
On the contrary, the modern internet environment has made him a ruthless killer.
For example, the shouting and cursing coming from that game console now.
Insults that touch upon dignity and parents are a basic part of modern netizens' behavior. Such behavior was understandable in the past, but nowadays, when a petty person is addicted to the internet, this behavior is tantamount to courting death.
"Insolence! I am the Pale God! How dare you, you vile creature, curse me like this..."
The harm caused by just a few insults far exceeded the persecution that the Church inflicted on Norton during the Papal State era.
Norton, lying on his back in the gaming pod, angrily straightened up, tearing through the hard pod and even the various wires connecting it as if they were butter.
Norton was furious, more furious than he had been in the past thousand years.
Even a few curses reminded him of his mother, whom he had never thought of in his entire life.
That's truly a miracle cure!
Unfortunately, Norton had been emperor for a long time, and his formulaic speeches lacked any fighting spirit.
These words did not deter the other side from further mocking them; instead, they became even more unrestrained in their laughter.
"You dare to Pale God? You don't even Pale God! If you Pale God, then I'm Pale God's father! You're a piece of trash, you..."
Norton had barely responded to the insults when he was interrupted by an even more outrageous barrage of abuse.
Norton was furious, consumed by rage.
"Wow! Wow!!!"
His arms flailing wildly, an unprecedented humanity coalescing on his face, all transforming into a frenzied killing intent!
"I will surely wipe out your entire clan!"
Amidst the frantic shouts, the shouting and cursing on the other side abruptly ceased, and even the accounts in the game suddenly vanished completely.
Not only that, Norton was still not satisfied.
"Your family and teachers are guilty of raising such a beast, and they are destined to be completely eradicated!"
The fact that no one stops you from having a neighbor like this shows that your neighbors are all selfish and self-serving, and they are bound to be completely eliminated!
You are such a beast! Your parents failed to raise you properly, which shows that your parents are also deeply sinful. And your parents' siblings are obviously also without any manners, and they are bound to be completely eliminated!
If your parents' brothers are such beasts, then their son and teacher must be just as monstrous, it's inevitable...
With just a few curses, Norton immediately thought of his family, his uncles, aunts, and even his wife, mother-in-law, and teachers. Since all these people who raised him were so wicked, it was clear that those who taught him were equally wicked.
Norton could not tolerate such despicable human nature.
As the saying goes, pulling out a radish brings out the mud along with it; this back and forth led to the involvement of a large number of people.
In a short while, the small town was suddenly deserted...
