I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2346 - 2345: Heavenly God, Brainwashing
Previously on I Truly Am The Villian...
Xu Zimei slowly reached out his hand.
In an instant, all the void solidified.
The entire Cloud Center County seemed frozen in time and space.
Neither the Servant God Guards nor the other citizens could move.
Although they could speak and think independently, their bodies seemed no longer their own.
"What... what have you done?" one Servant God Guard shouted in horror.
Xu Zimei merely sneered coldly.
"In the end, you're just borrowing power from others."
"Before declaring me a fugitive, didn't those so-called Divine Spirits warn you?"
"I'm a very dangerous person."
Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, the faces of many Servant God Guards changed slightly.
Indeed, the Divine Spirits had instructed them before.
Once the target was found, do not alert the enemy, report immediately.
But these Servant God Guards were too eager for merit.
Plus, that noodle shop owner had shouted too loudly, leaving no time for reaction.
Now feeling their bodies unable to move, even their breathing gradually stalling.
Everyone panicked.
Some began to plead.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with us, it's all the Servant God Guards' fault."
"We are just ordinary citizens, we pose no threat to you, spare our lives."
"Sir, we are willing to worship you from now on, beg you to give us a chance."
Of course, besides some people begging for mercy, others began to threaten.
"If you dare to kill us, the Divine Spirits will not let you go."
"We've already reported, once the Divine Spirits learn about this, they'll rush here at once."
"You might still have time to escape now."
Xu Zimei ignored both the shouts and pleas of these people.
Instead, he turned to Xu Sanduo.
Smiling, he asked, "How do you think I should handle them?"
Xu Sanduo regained his shocked expression, hesitated a bit, and said, "Those Servant God Guards can be killed, others are not related."
"Of course, everything is subject to your command."
"You are too kind," Xu Zimei sneered.
"These people, to put it bluntly, are accomplices."
"Perhaps they can't kill me, nor confront me directly."
"But they provide intelligence clues."
"To give a simple example, if my powers weren't so strong, this exposure could endanger my life."
Upon hearing Xu Zimei's words, Xu Sanduo nodded slightly.
Indeed, that noodle shop owner exposed Xu Zimei's whereabouts.
Although he did not kill Xu Zimei himself, he had already become an accomplice.
And it wasn't just the noodle shop owner, many in the Kun Ruins Domain were the same.
They were all blinded by the Divine Race's faith.
This faith severely hindered other races' development.
Because in the Nine Domains, other domains are opposed to the Myriad Clans.
Everyone competes in cultivation to empower their race.
With competition comes progress.
Most importantly, because of competition, the Myriad Clans remain balanced.
But in the Kun Ruins Domain, it is completely different.
The Divine Race stands above all.
They overpower all other races.
More importantly, they brainwash all races from an ideological perspective.
That is the most terrifying.
Suppression through strength and violence is nothing.
As long as a race isn't exterminated, it can rise again with time.
But ideological erosion leads to the complete extinction of a race.
More critically, the Divine Race truly succeeded.
Today, in the Kun Ruins Domain, every household worships the Divine Spirits, offering the Power of Faith.
Anyone who doesn't believe is an outcast.
Even those occasionally awake like Xu Sanduo are mostly shunned.
To solve the Divine Spirits issue, words are useless.
Slaughter won't work either.
Even if you kill everyone in Cloud Center County, others will believe in the Divine Spirits more.
Begging for Divine Spirits' intervention.
So the only way is to kill the gods.
To resolve it from the source.
Only by bringing the lofty Divine Spirits down, making people realize they are just slightly stronger ants.
At that moment, the believers will naturally awaken.
......
At this moment, Xu Zimei reached out his hand.
He didn't plan to kill everyone in Cloud Center County.
But he did not intend to spare the Servant God Guards in front of him.
He took a wanted poster from one Servant God Guard's hand and asked with a smile, "Do you know why the Divine Race wants me?"
"No idea, we are just following orders," the Servant God Guard quickly shook his head in response.
"In that case, then you shall die," Xu Zimei waved his hand.
Suddenly the void began to squeeze.
Like an invisible spatial ripple pressing from all directions.
Makes you almost unable to breathe.
"Stop," a powerful voice suddenly echoed.
Xu Zimei turned his head to look.
A middle-aged man led a group from afar.
They each held a stone statue in their hands.
The head middle-aged man looked stern, surrounded by an imposing aura.
"We mean no harm to you, fellow Daoist. If you want to leave, we won't stop you."
"Who are you?" Xu Zimei looked at the middle-aged man and asked.
"I am the County Leader of Cloud Center County. You can call me Xiao Tianzhu," the middle-aged man replied lightly.
"No harm?" Xu Zimei sneered.
"You seem not qualified enough to protect them."
"I want to kill them; do you wish to die together?"
"Fellow Daoist, I don't wish to cause mutual destruction," Xiao Tianzhu replied with a gloomy face.
"The fish may die, but the net won't break. You seem to overestimate yourself," Xu Zimei shook his head gently.
His gaze fell on the men Xiao Tianzhu brought, holding statues in their hands.
These statues looked ordinary, yet each one contained a divine aura.
It's an extraordinary divine aura.
Xu Zimei laughed, "Show your trump cards, don't say I didn't give you a chance."
The surrounding Servant God Guards saw Xiao Tianzhu's arrival and began shouting.
"County Leader, save us!"
"County Leader, quickly awaken the Heavenly God and kill this wicked thief thoroughly."
There were seven statues in Xiao Tianzhu's hand.
The most central statue looked extremely powerful, the leader.
Called the Heavenly God by the people.
He's the deity overseeing a county's weather and peace.
The Heavenly God is one of the higher-ranked divine spirits.
Besides the Heavenly God, the other six statues were his servants.
Unlike the Servant God Guards, these servants were genuine members of the Divine Race.
