章節 21: The Location of Blood of Gods
"There is such power? Whose blood have you been drinking?" asked David, he was somewhat shocked and felt that the lightning was not that great even though Zeus' lightning was said to be a power that was difficult to resist.
David tried to remember about the Deities of various mythologies, and there seemed to be no Deities with such power.
The problem was that the power did sound too op.
Manipulating everything, that means she can control anything.
"Don't take it too seriously, my power does sound very scary, but people who know all sorts of spiritual powers would most likely prefer Zeus' power because it's the kind of power that can destroy everything. Plus, it has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of energy in a short period of time, in contrast to Zeus' power that can fight for a long time without stopping. Like a car, there are two cars with the same speed, but one is very gasoline-intensive while the other is very economical," Jane replied.
Hearing her explanation, David spontaneously looked at his own hands.
One thing that made him somewhat amazed now was that he was indeed not tired at all. He thought he could still fight a few more hours, and that might not be enough to exhaust him.
It seemed that this was one of the advantages that other Spiritual Beings envied. Zeus was not only stronger, but also tougher.
He looked at Jane again after that, waiting for her to continue.
"As for whose blood it is, it's actually from the blood of many Deities. I have drunk many different kinds of blood. The result of it all is this power but I don't have the power of the bloods I have drunk. Of course, it took a very complicated process for that to work. So far, only I have succeeded, everyone else who tried it died horribly."
David and Jane's conversation could be heard by the gangsters.
They felt understood but also felt clueless.
At first glance they thought they were listening to the nonsense of anime fans, but the problem was that they saw for themselves how a power that shouldn't exist was being used to beat them all up.
They glanced and stared at each other, as if communicating silently.
David himself stopped asking about Jane's powers because he already understood.
He then changed the topic.
"What are we going to do about them?" he asked Jane.
Despite hearing things from Jane, David still found it difficult when it came to taking care of people. After all, he was a homebody, and too young. He had never learned this thing called management.
"Have you ever heard of a saying; (an Emperor thinks enough about conquering, the affairs of the empire and palace can be left to the Empress.) You don't need to think about them, I will take care of them. They will join the groups that I have subdued," Jane replied.
She grabbed David's wrist and pulled him to leave.
"They won't be able to stand for a while. Later, the group under me will pick them up," she added.
When they reached the sidewalk, they walked towards the place where Lisa had parked the car.
"Will some of the people we subdue be given blood from the Deities?" asked David, wanting to discuss the matter further even though Jane asked him not to think about it too much.
"Of course," Jane replied. "The more Spiritual Beings under us will naturally be better, the difficulty is just not enough resources to help them become Spiritual Beings. However, with more and more people, we can continue to gather resources."
"Right, Jane, there is one thing you haven't told me, where can we find the blood of the Deities?" asked David.
He had been interested in that since hearing Jane talk about resources.
It was indeed the essence of power development and surely Spiritual Beings were always striving for it.
It's just that, if this thing called the blood of the Deities is scattered in various places, it should have been discovered by people. Why isn't there any random news about strange blood discoveries.
After all, before it was refined, the blood of the Deities must have been very conspicuous.
David suspected that all the blood was in hidden places.
Jane gave David a faint smile as she replied, "do you know why natural resources like oil, gas, or mining are always fought over by the elite? People may say that it is for progress and prosperity, those who control natural resources will gain prosperity. That is true, but how many Spiritual Beings think of progress and prosperity? All they want is an increase in their personal power. Even if the world becomes very poor, it does not matter at all. They can still live prosperously in a separate place."
David, "..."
"You mean the blood of the Deities is in places that contain oil, gas, and in mines?" asked David, starting to understand.
"Yeah..." Jane nodded.
"The blood of the Deities is fused with the oil and gas. After the oil and gas is extracted from underground, we will filter it to find the blood of the Deities. In the mines, we can't find blood, but there are bones of ancient creatures including the Deities there. They are very useful in the process of purifying the blood of the Deities." Jane continued to explain.
"Do you understand now? To rule the world requires spiritual power as it is a power that cannot be stopped. However, to gain spiritual power, we need a lot of people. Therefore, we need to control people whether it is through politics or business. Even if all you want is spiritual power without power over the world. You still need people to thrive."
Jane smiled as she said it all.
"Yeah, and the world has many rivals. The Elite families in the west aren't completely in charge, even in the west itself there are many who aspire to take our place. And every now and then, a new power emerges. This is natural because we are not the only ones with brains. Other people have them too."
David just nodded after Jane finished speaking.
He sometimes sighed.
Apparently, the sky was also starting to darken.
Time really seemed short for today.
Now he wondered what else was in store for tonight.
His meeting with Jane had changed things.
The world was no longer the same place, and he was no longer the same person.
He has the power of a very powerful Deity.
What awaits him in the future?
David feels excited because this is the life he loves.
He was no longer one of the hordes of ignorant people. He had become part of the elite fighting for supremacy over the world.
Losing at his current level of life would probably be a very bad thing. Therefore, he should strive to always win. The key is to become stronger and stronger.
