Chapter 172 The Lord's Church and the Holy City of Nuclear Explosion   Chapter 171

 Shafik State, a full-time hunter, has changed beyond recognition after several years of development.

  Due to Rosen's deliberate restrictions, the flow of time in the Hunter x Hunter world is not too fast.

  But in just a few years, Shafiq State still became the center of the world.

  The main god game that exists in Shafik State and Meteor Street can help ordinary people learn knowledge, and can help ordinary people experience life and death and awaken their spirituality. As long as the spirituality is awakened, it is not difficult to open the mind and become a mind ability user.

  Today, the number of Nen users in Shafik State exceeds more than half of the total number of human beings.

  Various countries in the human world have sent a large number of staff to Shafik State.

  At first they wanted to destroy the Lord God Game, because the emergence of the Lord God Game made the emergence of Psychic users uncontrollable.

  Later, they found that there was no way to stop it, and various human countries were forced to make the existence of people with the ability of Psychic public.

  Then they would dispatch staff to recruit those Nen users with amazing potential, or send talented people in their own country to the main God game to assist them in mastering Nen.

  If they don't do this, they can only watch the Nen users join other forces.

  As more and more people flock to Shafik State, Shafik State is now overcrowded.

  Even new cities were built one after another, and the five largest new cities belonged to V5.

  Rosen's Shafik Group also gained huge profits in this process and grew stronger and stronger.

  In a sense, the Shafik Group has become a buffer force for V5 in its fight for the Nen users created by the Lord God Game.

  However, recently, the Shafik Group has also encountered some troubles.

  In the human world, V5 is an old and powerful country, but the gradually rising Kajin Empire is no less powerful than any country in V5.

  Of course, the Kajin Empire also wants to build a city in Shafik State. However, the good places have been divided up by V5. The best place left is Shafik City, the core of Shafik State. In recent times, people from the Kajin Empire have been sneaking into Shafik City.

  Through the Lord God game, it is too easy to figure out the purpose of these intruders.

  Nasbi Huiguorou, the king of the Kajin Empire, now wants to take control of the Shafik Group and intervene in the Lord God Game.

  Nasbi is a man who does not follow the rules and has huge ambitions, but he was always suppressed by V5 and missed the opportunity to build a city in Shafik State. Now Shafik State has been almost divided into six parts due to the exchange of interests, and there is no room for the Kakin Empire to survive.

  Since the Kakin Empire was unable to seize the interests of V5, it naturally set its sights on the Shafik Group, which Nasby considered to be easy to bully.

  Rosen sat at his desk, listening to the 18-year-old Kurapika reporting various information.

  According to the normal timeline of Hunter x Hunter, Kurapika should be at most 13 years old now, and there are still four years before the start of the main storyline. However, the time of the spiritual realm of Hunter x Hunter was intentionally suppressed by Rosen, so Kurapika grew up to 18 years old in advance while living in the territory of the Divine Realm.

  Nowadays, Kurapika is basically in charge of all the affairs of Shafik State.

  "Boss, what should we do next?"

  Kurapika asked, putting down the tablet in his hand.

  "Cut off all the hands that the Kajin Empire is extending, and then the Shafik Consortium will be officially renamed the Lord God Church."

  Rosen tapped the armrest of his office chair and calmly decided the fate of the Kajin Empire.

  "I know what to do, but if I want to intimidate V5, I need the boss to transfer more combat power."

  Kurapika said respectfully.

  "You can call upon the fighting power of the Divine Territory at your disposal."

  Rosen said as he granted Kurapika temporary permissions.

  After Kurapika left the office, Rosen walked to the window and looked down at Shafik City.

  According to the normal timeline of Hunter x Hunter, although nuclear bombs had been developed in the Hunter x Hunter world at this time, civilian technology was still in the era of keypad phones. However, after the emergence of the main game, technological development advanced by leaps and bounds.

  Because among the many virtual spiritual realms, Rosen opened up the world of the Resident Evil series of movies.

  The technology in the virtual spirit world of Resident Evil is decades more advanced than the timeline of Hunter x Hunter.

  Moreover, the entire world is filled with zombies, and there are very few living humans. These have reduced the cost of activating the Resident Evil virtual spiritual realm. The technological knowledge brought out from the Resident Evil has also enabled the technological development of the Hunter x Hunter world to advance by leaps and bounds.

  Precisely because the profits are growing, the Kajin Empire can no longer sit still.

  After all, on the surface, no matter how powerful the Shafik Group is, it cannot compare to the Kakin Empire.

  Although a large number of people in Shafik State have become Nen users, it takes time for Nen users to grow and develop. The Lord God Game can shorten the time, but it is not enough to make ordinary Nen users strong in just a few years.

  However, if it is delayed for a few more years, the Kajin Empire will fall behind the times.

  So this time, to target Shafik City, the Kakin Empire dispatched almost all of the country's high-end Nen users.

  The reason why we haven't taken action immediately is because we need to investigate the whereabouts of the top leaders of the Shafik Group.

  Then wipe out the top leaders in one fell swoop, and then control the families of the middle leaders based on the intelligence, so that Shafik City can be taken over before V5 reacts. After all, the Kajin Empire wants to conquer this city rather than destroy it.

  Even annihilating the top leaders is not the first choice. Directly controlling Rosen Shafik is the best option.

  It's just that Rosen was so elusive that the Kakin Empire couldn't find a chance to capture him alive.

  With the help of the various sequence extraordinary people in the divine territory, it would not be difficult for Rosen to deal with the Psychic users of the Kakin Empire.

  However, with the revenge of the Kakin Empire and the threat that V5 will inevitably bring after the Lord God Church is made public, we need to prepare countermeasures in advance. Otherwise, Shafik City will be in trouble if a few nuclear bombs are dropped on it.

  There is no need for nuclear bombs. Some Rose bombs are enough to turn Shafik City into a dead city.

  Rosen also thought about whether he should directly enslave and control the top leaders of various countries.

  But this is not an easy task. Although the combat power of the strongest Nen user will not exceed Sequence 7, there are many different Nen abilities. Maybe there is a way to see through his control. What if he is desperate and wants to throw a nuclear bomb?

  So the best way is to directly destroy the nuclear bomb, directly destroy Rose's bomb.

  A conspiracy can only bring temporary benefits, but an open conspiracy can truly control this spiritual human world.

  As long as the safety of his hometown is guaranteed, he can conquer countries with impunity and eliminate all threats.

  Therefore, he cannot act recklessly before the nuclear deterrence is lifted.

  Rosen holds a painting of a nature goblin.

  Heavy rain enveloped Shafiq City, so much so that the streets of Shafiq City were deserted late at night.

  Rosen split into three water clones, plus his original self and self-portrait clones.

  There were five people in total, scattered across Shafik City, holding paintbrushes and starting to paint on buildings.

  First, special pigments are used to color the entire surface of the building.

  After painting, you can't tell any difference from the original surface of the building, but in fact it has been covered with a layer of paint. These paints can withstand the erosion of heavy rain and the burning of flames, and even ordinary people can hardly damage it with a knife.

  Because it is just ordinary coloring, not a carefully drawn spiritual painting.

  So Rosen's hand speed is terrifyingly fast. He only needs to enlarge the magic pen, and then cover a building with the brush tip. The magic pen will be filled with paint, and then the brush tip will fork under his control to easily color a building.

  It took Rosen ten days to paint every building, big or small, and even the streets in the city.

  The pigments specially ordered for this purpose consumed hundreds of thousands of spiritual crystals.

  This was just the beginning, as Rosen began to repaint the buildings in the city.

  This time, even the heavy rain could not hide the fact that many people realized that some changes were taking place in Shafik City.

  However, under the control of the Shafik Group, the incident was temporarily covered up under the pretext of restoring the city's appearance.

  Until one day, an airship passed by the city of Shafiq.

  The explosive growth of technology in recent years has already made the Internet and smartphones popular.

  However, things like drones and airplanes have not developed in the world of Hunter x Hunter.

  Because there are monsters in the sky, airships are much safer than airplanes.

  As for drones, they are very convenient for carrying bombs.

  So it was not until now that the changes in Shafik City over the past month were exposed on the Internet by the passengers on the airship.

  Looking down at Shafiq City from the sky, you will find that the countless buildings and colors in the entire city form a painting.

  The outer periphery of the city looked like an ultra-precision circuit board made up of countless colors, while the inner layer of the city was the game icon of the main god game wrapped in the circuit board. It was a huge ball of light with a figure sitting on the throne shrouded in darkness suspended in the middle.

  It was at this time that the Shafik Group held a grand press conference.

  Facing countless flashing lights, Kurapika walked up to the podium in a suit.

  "There are five main things announced today."

  Kurapika looked directly into the camera and spoke solemnly to all viewers on the Internet.

  "The first thing is that the Shafik Consortium will be renamed the Lord's Church, and the Shafik City will be renamed the Lord's Holy City."

  "The second thing is that the holy Rosen Shafik has been canonized by the great and holy Lord God as Rosen Saint Howard. From today on, he will officially become the first pope of the Lord God Church. The Lord God Church will assume the important responsibility of maintaining the Lord God Game."

  "The third thing is that the great Lord God will bestow six major God-given professional sequences, namely, Templar Painter, Templar Wizard, Templar Hunter, Templar Knight, Templar Assassin, and Templar Doctor. The detailed information of all God-given sequences will be published on the official website of the Lord God Church..."

  "The fourth thing is that I believe many people know that the countless buildings in the Holy City of the Lord form a painting."

  "To be precise, it is not that the Lord's Holy City has turned into a painting, but that the Lord's Holy City has revealed the true face of the world. The entire world is a painting that the Lord God spent seven days to draw, and all living beings live in the painting."

  "The fifth and final thing is that the Holy City of the Lord will be separated from the United States of Saheltah."

  "All human beings are the people of the great Lord God. After the Lord God created the world as a painter, he fell into a deep sleep. Now that the great Lord God has awakened, all countries and all human beings should bathe in the glory of the Lord God..."

  Countless reporters at the scene and countless audiences watching the live broadcast looked at Kurapika as if he were a fool.

  Although there are churches in various countries, with the development of science and technology, people have become more knowledgeable, and there are only a few people who truly believe in the existence of gods. The vast majority of people are just seeking psychological comfort.

  Even though it is a game of the Lord God, after a large number of Nen users were revealed, it was considered to be a product of Nen similar to Greed Island. A Lord God suddenly appeared and claimed to be the God of Creation?

  He said it so seriously, are you really not kidding?

  Many people have been searching for the official website of the Lord God Church, and when they clicked in, they saw a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

  The homepage of the official website of the Church of the Lord God tells the story of how the Lord God used his divine power to draw the entire world.

  It even emphasized that the human world only exists on an island on Lake Mobius.

  Outside Lake Mobius, there is the infinitely vast Dark Continent.

  When the Lord God created all living things, they were all in the primitive stage, and only the fittest survived through natural selection.

  Eventually, humans were unable to adapt to the dangerous environment of the Dark Continent and had to seek refuge on an island in Lake Mobius.

  Holy Pope Rosen Saint Howard went to the Dark Continent in person to find the sleeping Lord God, and was recognized by the great Lord God. He returned to the human world with the Lord God game and the six extraordinary sequences. In the future, he will lead mankind out of the human world and set foot on the Dark Continent again.

  Continue searching in the Lord God Church and you will see a detailed introduction to the six major sequences.

  Moreover, for each different level of sequence, there is a corresponding video showing the approximate strength of this level of sequence.

  Sequence 7 of any of them is actually equivalent to Isaac Netero, the most powerful Psychic user in human history.

  Moreover, the equivalent here only refers to one-sided destructive power. There are countless skills extending from the God-given sequence, and these skills comprehensively surpass the ability of Nen in all aspects.

  A nuclear bomb can kill Isaac Netero, the strongest human being, but it cannot kill any Sequence 7.

  By the time they reach Sequence 6, they have surpassed all previous humans and are qualified to set foot on the Dark Continent.

  The strongest among them is the painter sequence that only the Pope can master, and he possesses the divine power to create spiritual paintings, the world, and life.

  This is only Sequence 6. Once you reach Sequence 3, the power you display at the demigod level is even more terrifying.

  Starting from Sequence 2, there is only text introduction thereafter.

  This is because ordinary people are not even qualified to see such an existence. Even seeing it is not enough to withstand the power of Sequence 2. The great Lord God is a true God beyond Sequence 0, possessing supreme power that is difficult for humans to even imagine and describe.

  And at this time, all players of the Lord God game received invitations to join the Lord God Church.

  The Lord of Gods Game is a game built by the Pope to accelerate the evolution of mankind. The various plot worlds of the Lord of Gods Game are dominated by horror and are the various dangers that exist in the Dark Continent.

  Through these games, one can better adapt to the dangerous awakening spirituality of the Dark Continent.

  Now all the believers of the Lord's Church who have awakened their spirituality are eligible to apply for the magic potion job transfer God-given sequence.

  Even by experiencing the story world in the main god game, you can also get rewards of various extraordinary resources.

  Therefore, if you refuse to join the Lord God Church, you will not receive any rewards in the Lord God game from now on.

  Finally, the official website of the Lord God Church also declared the rights and responsibilities of the church. All human countries must pay tribute to the Lord God Church, and the rulers of all countries must be recognized by the Pope. Violators will be punished by the Templar Inquisition and the Templar Knights of the Lord God Church.

  This final announcement caused the human world to go haywire.

  V5 is still discussing what the Lord God Church relies on and what its intention is in disclosing the information about the Dark Continent.

  As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Church of the Lord God has declared war on all countries.

  Before V5 could respond, the Church of the Lord had already disclosed the Pope's divine power on the Internet.

  All the buildings in the main holy city were seen floating in the air like building blocks and could be moved at will. The Pope then floated in the air and looked at the huge open space in the city center, and a picture was projected directly from his eyes.

  After the painting fell to the ground, a magnificent temple immediately appeared out of thin air.

  Not only that, the Pope also took out three paintings and summoned three apostles of God.

  They are the nature fairy apostles who can control the natural environment and regulate the natural ecology.

  There are also angel apostles who can heal all external injuries and restore all health to disabled people instantly.

  Finally, there are the Nightmare Apostles from the Dark Continent, who can devour nightmares in the spiritual world, heal the spiritual damage of life, and create countless slimes in reality to devour all waste. The Lord God Church will then use slimes to clean up all the garbage in Meteor Street and purify the filth.

  Finally, the Pope summoned a thousand Templar Knights out of thin air, and the holy light that shot up into the sky dyed the entire main holy city golden.

  All the Nen users observing nearby could clearly feel the terrifying power of the Templar.

  There are billions of people in the human world, and an astonishing hundreds of millions of them are sick.

  Then less than 10% of people are completely cured, among which there are tens of millions of terminally ill patients. Every year, more than 10 million people die from cancer. These people are destined to die, and there are people who are willing to try any method that can keep them alive.

  Therefore, more and more cancer patients are traveling to the Lord's Holy City through various modes of transportation.

  With 24-hour live broadcast, no matter what kind of patient comes to the Lord God Church, he will be cured instantly.

  Even missing arms and legs can be grown back in just a few seconds.

  If one or two people can be fake, and a hundred or eighty people can be actors, then if eleven million people walk out of the Lord God's Church alive and well, all the patients in the entire human world will go crazy, including a large number of powerful and wealthy people.

  At this time, V5 did not dare to take action because many senior officials either needed treatment themselves or their family members.

  …

  Rosen watched more and more believers being born and felt the increasing amount of faith gathering in the temple.

  By the time he becomes a demigod, he will definitely be able to reach Sequence 3 in a short period of time.

  Even though he is unable to absorb and refine faith now, the Lord God Computer can. It was only after more and more believers were born that he discovered that the Lord God Computer can actually collect faith and transform it into pure divine power without attributes.

  As more and more believers were born, Rosen's divine power of creation began to take effect.

  "Have you heard? V5 is going to declare war on the Lord God Church..."

  "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is bound to happen sooner or later. The law of the jungle prevails everywhere..."

  "I heard that nuclear bombs were going to be used, so I planned to run away in advance..."

  A few passers-by were talking, and finally they became afraid.

  They are not sick, so they only feel awe towards the Lord God's Church without any gratitude or faith.

  So when you realize that war is coming, your first reaction is to protect yourself first.

  Just as several people were preparing to go home, the old man who heard them talking nearby snorted coldly.

  "Your information is not accurate."

  The old man said piously, "Don't forget that the Lord God Church has a true God, and the Pope can come and go freely in the Dark Continent. The entire Lord God Holy City is actually a spiritual painting. Even if a nuclear bomb comes, it can't explode in and can only stare blankly."

  "Is what you said true?"

  Several passers-by questioned this, as they did not want to gamble their lives on uncertain news.

  "The church is going to perform a miracle tonight, and you will know then."

  The old man said mysteriously.

  Several passers-by were confused and puzzled, but decided to take a good look at it at night.

  Their home is in the Lord's Holy City, and they don't want to leave.

  Besides, it would take several days to pack the luggage, and it is impossible for an ordinary family to just leave.

  Furthermore, even if V5 wanted to go to war with the Lord's Church, they would have to wait until all the patients around the world recovered.

  Otherwise, if V5 dares to start a war, the soldiers with patients' families will become chaotic.

  If the situation really escalates, they won't chat in broad daylight.

  In just one day, almost everyone in the entire Holy City of the Lord knew that V5 might start a nuclear war, and almost everyone knew that the Church of the Lord was going to show a new miracle, so at night the windows on the streets were almost always full of people.

  I saw a huge jellyfish hanging in the sky, emitting endless light like the sun.

  Then shackles fell from the void, binding struggling humans.

  At this time, voices resounding throughout the city began to declare the crimes of these people.

  These are all serious criminals in prison, and some are blasphemous sinners of the Kajin Empire.

  Through the power of foresight, the Lord God's Church discovered that the Kajin Empire was going to launch rose bombs and nuclear bombs at the Lord's Holy City.

  But the Lord God Church doesn't care. Today, it will use the nuclear bomb of the Kajin Empire to perform miracles.

  The whole city was shocked when they heard this. The nuclear bomb was about to arrive and there was no way to escape at this time.

  At this moment, rose-shaped mushroom clouds rose in the main holy city.

  A huge radiation mushroom cloud rose above the Church of the Lord.

  The Rose of the Poor has even more terrifying nuclear bombs, which can be detonated around millions of people in the city.

  Everyone was terrified and overwhelmed. The endless light and heat destroyed all visual perceptions.

  I don't know how long it took, but the aftermath of the nuclear bomb explosion finally dissipated.

  Heavy rain fell from the sky, washing away the radioactive dust formed by the nuclear bomb.

  Everyone's eyes that were blinded by the light were now recovering under the healing power of the angel beast covering the entire city.

  At this time, what the millions of people in the city saw was a devastated city. The entire city, except for the church temple, had turned into ruins, but they and the people around them stood intact on the ruins.

  Only the sinners hanging in the sky, their tragic deaths were daunting.

  "Has the Holy City of the Lord really turned into a spiritual painting..."

  Countless quiet whispers echoed through the crowd, just loud enough for those around to hear clearly.

  At this moment, the sacred golden light enveloped the entire main holy city. All the destroyed buildings were regenerated under the rendering of various colors, and the ruins of the original city were moved outside the city as the earth rolled.

  Finally, the main holy city became a brand new spiritual painting surrounded by countless ruins.

  (End of this chapter)
