Mental Focus Device

While unleashing various powerful divine spells to clash with the God of Chaos, Forrest quickly sent a message.

Forrest: "It's no use. I've now gained countless amounts of Power of Faith. You're no match for me. Just give up. We don't necessarily have to be enemies."

Azathoth: "Hmph, I don't need to defeat you at all. I only need to stop you. As long as I exist, you cannot become the final victor in the War of the Gods, and your conspiracy will fail. I will not let you close off this world as well."

Forrest: "Damn it, don't you understand? It was all Shen Yuan's doing. I was deceived by him too. If I wanted to do this, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? This isn't about the two of us anymore. The key is those millions of players in Earth Online. Don't you want to save them?"

Azathoth: "You talk as if you actually have the ability."

Forrest: "I do have a way. Believe it or not, that matter has nothing to do with me. It was Shen Yuan who did it. I'm furious. What he did could completely destroy my company and everything I have. If I could, I would definitely try to save everything. Although current technology can't do it anymore, I still have a chance to save everything."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu wondered if it really was Shen Yuan who did it? Was it truly unrelated to Forrest?

Forrest had always wanted to become a god in reality, but he wasn't about to believe it so easily. While continuing his attack, he asked, "How can we save it?"

Forrest: "Let me complete my plan to become a god. Once I become the Only True God, I can save those innocent people."

Xiao Yu, however, did not believe it at all.

Azathoth: "Come on, even if you become a god, so what? You're just a god in the middle of a fantasy world. Can you change reality?"

Forrest: "You're wrong. I will not only become a god in the game, but also a god in reality, because the game itself is built upon reality."

Seeing that Xiao Yu seemed unable to understand, Forrest couldn't wait to explain.

"I have done a lot of research on human spiritual power and the Power of Faith. I once gathered tens of thousands of people and used an instrument called Mental Focus Device to concentrate their spiritual power together. I found that human spiritual power does exist. Using the spiritual power of tens of thousands of people, I can move objects and change the form of matter. However, this power is very small. I guess it is probably because the number of people is too small. Human spiritual power is very limited. Even if you gather the spiritual power of tens of thousands of people, you can only move an object weighing a few kilograms or turn a cup of water into ice."

However, I am absolutely certain that spiritual power does exist. According to my theory of the Power of Faith, if the Power of Faith hundreds of millions of people could be gathered together and Mental Focus Device could be used to concentrate this spiritual power, it would generate powerful energy. If applied to a human being, theoretically, it should be able to turn that person into a legendary god.

I've already linked Mental Focus Device to the quantum computer in the World of the Gods, and my goal is to become the ultimate victor in the War of the Gods. If I can become the Only True God, and the players have unwavering faith in my divine identity, they will unleash their mental power to the fullest extent. Once this energy field acts upon me, I can become a true god. If this theory comes true, and I truly become a god, then I will have the power to save those trapped in Earth Online. Now you understand, right?"

"Mental Focus Device? Become a god? Holy crap. You must be crazy." Xiao Yu said in shock. He didn't expect that what he was encountering was even more bizarre than the plots in many science fiction movies, and the other party's confident manner made him feel even more unreal.

Forrest: "Believe me, I've done a lot of research on this, and there's at least a 30% chance of success."

"A 30% chance? Is that all?"

Forrest: "Believe me, even a 1% chance of becoming a god is worth trying, let alone a 30% chance. Just let me complete my plan, and regardless of success or failure, I'll give you a reward of one hundred million—no, one billion. I can even establish a network protocol."

"And if I truly become a god, I swear I will absolutely bestow upon you immense benefits. I can make you second only to me in existence, and we will become legends. Just imagine, thousands of years from now, such a legend will be left in human mythology: the Creator God fought a great battle with the God of Chaos Azathoth, and in the end, Azathoth helped the Creator God become a god, while the Creator God kept the Celestial Realm for himself and gave the Hell to Azathoth."

"You mean you want me to become something like Satan?"

"Pretty much, but of course you can be Gabriel if you want."

Xiao Yu thought about it. The temptation was considerable. Of course, the temptation referred to the 1 billion RMB. Xiao Yu naturally didn't believe in becoming a god, but if he could really get his hands on that 1 billion, it would be a huge sum of money.

The prospect of winning a billion dollars simply by losing to the opponent is an unprecedented reward for a gamer, and he genuinely wants to see if this 30% chance can truly come true.

However, he chuckled coldly to himself. If there really was a chance to become a god, instead of leaving the opportunity to you and pinning his hopes on your magnanimity, why not become a god himself?

If you truly become a god but offer me no benefits, and even torment me, how can I resist?

So, haha.

However, he did not intend to refuse the other party immediately. After the two fought for a while, he realized that his strength seemed to be about the same as the other party's, and even seemed to be slightly weaker, because there were many other players around. Compared with so many players, his army was pitifully small.

Forrest probably wants to defeat me single-handedly, so he hasn't called on the players to help. But if I push him too far and he remembers this, things could get messy.

Ultimately, Azathoth is an evil being, and the Creator God seems more like the side of justice. Therefore, Xiao Yu decided to use delaying tactics. Previously, Chenghong Moli told him that Old Li had already led his men to seize Excellence Technology. As long as they dragged Forrest out of the game pod, he would win.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu nodded noncommittally, "Very tempting terms, but I'll have to think about it carefully. Can you give me this ten billion first?"

But in his heart he thought, Old Li and the others should be here soon.

Forrest said, "How could I possibly give it to you first? But we can sign a network agreement, and I definitely won't renege on my promise once it's done."

"How about you give me a hundred million? I won't feel at ease until I see the money."

"What's there to be uneasy about? Network protocols are legally inviolable."

"Besides, I don't really want to be Satan, nor do I really want to be Gabriel. How about you bestow upon me a title of 'One-Word King'? God of Chaos who sits on equal footing with the Creator God."

"No problem."

"You agreed so readily, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

Xiao Yu started to stall, rambling on about all sorts of questions, but neither refusing nor agreeing.

After dragging on for over ten minutes, Forrest realized something was wrong. He didn't have much time to waste. "Do you agree or not! I'm asking you one last time. If you don't agree, then let's fight to the bitter end!"

As he spoke, he gathered all his Power of Faith, looking ready to fight to the death.

At that moment, Chenghong Moli suddenly sent a message.

We have arrived at the Excellence Technology Building.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I refuse."

"What?!" Forrest was practically livid with rage. "You bastard, if that's how it is, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

After saying this in the private chat, Forrest closed the private chat channel.
