I Want to Be a Good Person

Forrest was quite confident in his own strength, a confidence stemming from his understanding of the Power of Faith.

To support his God-Creation Plan, he specifically added a Power of Faith determination mechanism to the game to determine whether a player truly believes in the god in the game.

The judgment is made by analyzing the player's brainwaves and words and actions. Since one must pray to the gods to obtain the power bestowed by the gods, theoretically all players can be considered as shallow believers. However, there are also many who become obsessed with the game, or whose minds undergo special changes, or who become devout believers because of the profound connotations and sense of immersion shown in the game.

These people probably make up about one-tenth of all gamers, and even so, they number in the tens of millions.

However, the game mechanics are much more lenient in determining faith; as long as one behaves very devoutly on a daily basis, one will be considered a devout believer.

With so many believers contributing countless Power of Faith, his power at this moment is unprecedented.

At the same time, Xiao Yu was also very confident that he could defeat the Creator God in front of him.

His confidence stemmed from his confidence in his role. Azathoth was a god-slaying boss in the Sky World, the strongest being, while the Creator God before him was only one of the three great gods in the current War of the Gods, and in his descended form, not his true form. By all accounts, his chances of winning were higher.

After the data was fully converted into the system of the War of the Gods, he found that his use of power had become increasingly subtle.

He had been imprisoned in the virtual manor for three or four months and almost died there, which made him furious with Forrest. Now that he had a chance to stop his plans and thwart his conspiracy, he naturally couldn't let it go. If he could beat him up, that would be incredibly satisfying.

However, just as the two were about to clash, a beam of light flashed beside Xiao Yu, and a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air—it was Medivh had teleported over.

Xiao Yu glanced at Medivh, "Huh, you're done on your end? Where's the others?"

"They're all dead," Medivh said calmly. "Even Legendary- level experts would find it difficult to withstand the terrifying Chaos Domain Realm. However, their mission is complete. It seems you've obtained Azathoth's power. That's good. Now, the two of us are enough."

Xiao Yu nodded. Medivh was incredibly powerful and a god; with him around, their chances of winning increased even further.

"Let's deal with this guy now."

Forrest was somewhat alarmed. He was fairly confident in taking on Azathoth one-on-one, but the addition of Medivh made him unsure of himself. After all, Medivh was also a god, and Forrest could sense the divine power emanating from him.

It felt like the odds of winning were too low in a one-on-two situation. He wasn't the type to fight to the death, and as soon as he saw the situation was not good, he immediately backed down.

"Hmph, you win. But you think this will stop me? How naive! You were able to enter this realm before because your physical body was very weak, but now that you possess such powerful energy, leaving this world is impossible. I'll see how you stop me when you can't leave. We'll see!" With that, he suddenly waved his hand, a flash of white light, and he and his subordinates disappeared.

"This guy runs pretty fast," Xiao Yu thought. But they wouldn't be back anytime soon. He glanced at the spot where Naiser had disappeared and felt a bit scared. If it weren't for his quick thinking and effective verbal skills, he would have really been in trouble. But thankfully, he managed to fool Naiser in the end. Xiao Yu thought to himself, secretly pleased with his own cleverness.

He was now at a loss as to how to continue greeting Naiser. Asking him to continue acting would be asking too much, so he decided to let him face Forrest's wrath.

"What do we do next?" Medivh asked. "Should we set off immediately to fight them?"

Xiao Yu shook his head. "No, I still need to further familiarize myself with the control of my own power. Moreover, this space is filled with elemental power and Power of Chaos, which is worth studying. Besides, he's right, it's actually quite troublesome for me to leave this space now."

The Chaos Domain and the War of the Gods are completely separate independent spaces, with a huge gap between them, which is the so-called undeveloped area. The essence of this world is still composed of data.

Medivh's teleportation spell could certainly move small amounts of data between different spaces, but such a massive amount of data would be quite improbable.

Medivh suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I do have a way, which is to build a Dark Portal. You can be teleported there through the Dark Portal, but to traverse such a vast distance, the Dark Portal must be bidirectional. I need to build a Dark Portal in the world of the War of the Gods."

Xiao Yu nodded. "Old Li and the others can figure that out. I should focus on improving my own strength first. I can feel that since the rules changed, the chaotic energy within me has become more vibrant. I feel like I can absorb the energy around me. If this method works, given time, I will definitely become incredibly powerful."

In fact, strictly speaking, Xiao Yu should be considered a product of a bug. In the Sky World, no matter how powerful the character a player plays, their abilities are limited due to various restrictions imposed by the system. Just like the Elemental King cannot truly control all the elements, and gods cannot respond to the prayers of believers—unless you explicitly possess that skill.

Everything is within the framework.

However, the rules in this world are completely different. The gods have complete control over power. At this moment, Xiao Yu can feel that the chaotic elemental energy around him is subtly reacting to him. He can even sense the location and power of all the elemental creatures around him without any skills. He can absorb this energy to improve his strength.

Elemental Absorption! He suddenly spread his willpower around him, extending it hundreds of meters away. Then, with a thought, he immediately drew the elemental power in the surrounding space into his body.

Streams of different elemental forces—wind, fire, water, and earth—were poured into his body. Some of these forces even originated from the bodies of local elemental creatures. These creatures struggled and fought back, but they were no match for Azathoth. They could only watch helplessly as the elemental forces within their bodies dissipated and they were completely Annihilation.

The Elemental Absorption skill was originally used to restore health, but at this moment Xiao Yu discovered that all the elemental creatures around him, as well as the free elemental energy, were entering his body and being transformed into pure chaotic energy.

The more he absorbed, the more powerful he felt.

"Hahaha, this is so awesome! By the way, just how big is this Chaos Domain?"

"It's enormous, perhaps even comparable in size to the Lost Continent of the War of the Gods," Medivh said.

"That's really great," he said, looking around at the vast space. He could see many elemental creatures watching, some of the more timid ones beginning to flee his location.

These elemental creatures are incredibly powerful and completely countered by me. If I could tame them and bring them into the world of the War of the Gods, they would undoubtedly become a great asset to me.

Having thought this through, he had made up his mind: all the elemental creatures here would either submit to him or he would absorb them to increase his own strength.

While Xiao Yu was frantically absorbing elemental energy to enhance his strength, Naiser was experiencing the most tragic event of his life.

"Hit him! Hit him hard!" Forrest roared.

His roar was accompanied by the sound of flesh colliding.

Bang! Smack! Smack! Two burly men in black suits, both injured and wearing brass brass knuckle dusters, were relentlessly beating Naiser face was swollen beyond recognition and who was tied to a chair.

Forrest stood a few meters away from him, a cigar in his hand almost burned out, but Forrest showed no intention of smoking it. Seeing Naiser's miserable appearance, Forrest's anger subsided somewhat.

He waved his hand, and the two burly men immediately stopped.

"Now, do you have anything to say to me?" he asked, looking at Naiser.

Naiser spat out a mouthful of blood. "Hmph, for the future of humanity, for the safety of the world, I have no regrets. I would never associate with an ambitious person like you. If I had to choose again, I would still do the same."

"What?! Are you out of your mind?! You and Shen Yuan almost trapped millions of players in the game before, and now you're pretending to be a good guy? Have you lost your mind?"

"Hmph, I did make some mistakes in the past, but that's precisely why I want to make amends. I'm no longer the Naiser I used to be; I hope I can be a good person."

"What, you bastard, keep hitting him!" Forrest said angrily, his previous wise and extraordinary demeanor completely gone.

Naiser was also in a difficult position. In fact, he had a feeling that he had been tricked. However, there was no way to be sure about such things, so he still held onto the hope that it was just a reality show. If it was a reality show, then he would have to keep acting and act as noble and great as possible, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain.

Of course, if it's not a reality show, then even if I beg for mercy, it'll probably be useless. I've ruined such a big plan for the boss, and no matter how much I beg, I'm probably going to die anyway. Since I'm going to die either way, I might as well stick to my guns. I hope this really is just a reality show.

With each increasingly fierce blow, Naiser gradually lost consciousness and passed out completely.

"Enough!" Forrest shouted. "Killing him outright would be too easy for him. When I become a true god, the ideal ending for him is to suffer endless torment in the purgatory I create. Lock him up now, and heal his injuries. I don't want him to die so soon."

Watching his men drag Naiser away, Forrest rubbed his head and muttered to himself, "I never thought the prophecy would actually come true."

The prophecy he spoke of referred to the calculations made by the quantum computer. According to the calculations, Naiser was the second greatest threat after Xiao Yu. He originally thought that he would be safe once he took Naiser under his command and locked Xiao Yu in the virtual space, but he did not expect that these two people would still ruin his big plan.

In that case, I need to hurry up and take action.

"Summon the council of elders immediately; I need to make an urgent proposal."

An hour later, all the elders of the Moha Religion had gathered in the virtual conference room.

"Hey, didn't we say we couldn't have gatherings online? Why are you suddenly calling us here?" a fat elder asked, displeased.

Forrest didn't have time to explain to them. "Gentlemen, our plan must be accelerated. There's a problem here. We must choose a true god as soon as possible because we are facing an unprecedented threat. If we cannot take final action soon, our plan may be in danger of failure."
