章 43: 43 – Test and Wrath of the God of Fear
=== God of Fear POV ===
"What?!" I shouted angrily when I heard the news from the King of Eldoria.
At that moment, I was wearing the marble body that the church had provided for me, and my anger was leaking out of my body.
As my rage leaked out, some of my divine power also leaked out, and it began to affect the mortals around me.
Especially the King of Eldoria, who was as weak as an ant in my eyes.
"I'm sorry God of Fear, we can only assume that these soldiers were all killed by Arcantor's soldiers, as the life candles of all the elite knights have been extinguished..." The king said as he bowed his head, shaking with fear.
These life candles were a way for the mortals in this realm to know if another mortal was still alive.
With that mortal's soul bound to the candle, as long as the mortal was alive, the candle would continue to burn, but if the mortal died, the candle would immediately go out.
And for some reason, these idiots couldn't follow a simple order to create chaos and attack the weaker villages around the neighboring kingdom, and they all died just a few hours apart.
Even knowing that the mages were more powerful than the warriors, it made no sense for all the warriors to die attacking such small villages!
And now, with just over half of the trial time remaining, 25% of Eldoria's army has just been destroyed... what the hell am I supposed to do to compete with the kingdoms around me?!
Fight one of them at a 25% disadvantage?! That would be asking for a humiliating defeat.
To stand still and try to win just because my kingdom was barely destroyed? That would be even more humiliating.
Closing my eyes and feeling my Divine Power, I was able to calculate that I might have around 150,000 Divine Power points, which was an incredible amount compared to the few Divine Power points I received in school.
Since I had forced the whole kingdom to pray for me on the first day I came to this world, I knew I wouldn't be able to get everyone to pray, but in the second week the number had increased even more, until yesterday when I got even more people to pray for me.
To the point that I had managed to rise to a rank 5 embryonic divinity and still had 150,000 Divine Power points available for use.
Since I had the Divinity of Fear, it was easy to control the minds of these mortals through fear and make them obey me and pray to me.
I thought I could save some divine power by sending them to wreak havoc in the neighboring kingdoms, but apparently I was too innocent and believed too much in their strength.
Those weak worms were good for nothing but earning me Divine Power points...
So I knew I had to use my own strength to attack the neighboring kingdoms.
This would cost me Divine Power points to attack the other kingdoms, but I had no other choice.
Of course, I didn't want to physically go to the border of another realm and use the marble body to attack them, because that would practically leave the capital of Eldoria completely vulnerable, and I would have to spend a lot of time getting back to the capital in case of an attack.
Then I had an idea.
As I could see from the believers who prayed to me, wouldn't I just have to send a believer to the border of another kingdom and use that believer as transportation?
He goes to the neighboring kingdom, enters a very populous city, prays to me, I go to him with my Divine Consciousness and use a large amount of Divine Power to completely destroy that large city.
That would be even better if that devotee went to the enemy's capital!
Yes, that's a great idea!
I then began to explain my idea to the king of Eldoria, ordering him to do exactly as I asked. "Joe, I want you to find a way to send believers to..."
===
While the God of Fear was planning how to build a Trojan Horse to wreak havoc in Arcantor, Adrian was putting into practice the Trojan Horse he had been working on for days!
=== Adrian POV ===
Looking at the new believers arriving in each city Rosalind visited, a huge smile appeared on my face.
Especially when I noticed how afraid and angry they were about the God of Fear from the believers' conversations on the Internet, since they were afraid to talk about it in the real world for fear that the God of Fear might somehow be listening in.
When they were introduced to all the features of the Internet, they were just as amazed as the users of Arcantor.
Although they weren't as fascinated by magic books as the Arcantor users, who had grown up hearing how powerful and imposing wizards were, these Eldoria users found other things very useful.
Cooking books, plant cultivation books, books on medical techniques, and various other types of knowledge were practically free for ordinary people!
All of these books were even better explained and much more knowledgeable than the knowledge they already knew, because the knowledge in these books came from the gods of these respective fields who left this knowledge in the Divine School Library, and I took the opportunity to digitize it and make it available on the Internet.
I spent two days just absorbing the yield of divine power in the mortal world, it would be very imprudent of me to do nothing in the divine world while there was nothing to develop in the mortal world.
And that was my pastime.
Learning new knowledge about different areas of life and making it available to the believers and finding out what their next need was so that I could provide it.
So with this new knowledge available on the Internet, the Internet fever began to quietly take hold in Eldoria.
The God of Fear had no idea that I had already gained a few thousand followers in his territory, and I was hoping that the school examiners would count this as a form of invasion.
With the development of [iMonsters], a new way to cause chaos and destruction in Eldoria had been created.
Just as users in Arcantor could use the Internet to summon iMonsters in Arcantor to fight for them, I could use believers in Eldoria to launch an attack in the same way!
All I had to do was find a believer in Eldoria who used the Internet, and I'd have a free channel to send iMonsters to Eldoria.
And considering that I could use raw divine power to increase the power of those iMonsters, the believers in Eldoria had literally become Trojan horses for me!
But unlike the God of Fear, I didn't want to kill innocent people.
Not only did I know that every person I killed would no longer be a potential believer for me, but I also felt sorry for these people who had already fought so hard to survive and have a good life in this world, and I didn't want to end their lives and destroy what little they had achieved in so much time.
Sure, my pity for them wouldn't stop me from trying to pass the school test, but I wouldn't become a home-wrecking monster in the mortal world either.
My philosophy from the beginning was peaceful development, and that's what I wanted to pursue.
My new tests in Arcantor were already bearing fruit.
The poor soldiers of Eldoria were able to test the Internet, and they were as shocked as any user using it for the first time.
I noticed how envious they were of the citizens of Arcantor when they compared their lives and what they had to go through in Eldoria with the God of Fear, and little by little they truly became my followers.
My test, on the other hand, came in the form of a test of how long they could use the Internet.
Even though they weren't mages, their spiritual power was very high, higher than ordinary people, and they were able to use the Internet for at least an hour longer than people from a power realm below them in Arcantor.
This showed me that destroying Eldoria's army wasn't the best solution either, and made me think about how to deal with them without so much bloodshed, since even the soldiers were of great use to me...
