Chapter 162: Strategic Blackmail

Are you out of your mind?

What does the Underworld God hitting you have to do with us? The four main Gods nearly had this thought subconsciously.

The God of Prophecy, Phobos, widened his eyes… Have they gone mad from fear? They couldn’t even withstand the Underworld God, so how could they attack the four main Gods? “Hahaha…”

The God of War suddenly laughed crazily at the sky. His voice was full of madness, no… even appreciation! “Arrogant! Do you really think you can defeat us?” The Earth Mother blushed with anger.

“Of course, I can’t beat you!”

Yu Sheng’an shrugged, graciously admitting, “But I can reduce your preaching areas on the Azaea Continent to ruins. From that moment on, the Underworld God will be unrivaled on Azaea’s main plane; conquering it would just be a matter of time. When the Underworld God possesses two main planes, I’m curious who else can stop his advance?”

Yu Sheng’an looked completely unrestrained.

Do you know what nuclear blackmail is?

This is it! With that statement, the slow God finally realized.

They all looked at Yu Sheng’an as if staring at a madman! “You should think twice! We might lose the Azaea Continent, but you will be completely destroyed!”

“Are you trying to blackmail us?”

The Earth Mother and Sea God shouted angrily together.

Yu Sheng’an grinned and wagged his index finger, “No, no, no, you got it wrong. I’m not blackmailing. I’m just notifying you that if this situation does occur, from then on, I will live comfortably, but you will be embroiled in endless war. Because I’m not like you, I don’t need preaching areas, nor churches, nor followers!”

“When the Underworld God is an enemy to the world, they will need the Internet to combat the Dark Web! Even if they don’t, with my Internet characteristics, as long as the Divine Spark remains, I will never lack Source Essence. And you? You heavily rely on preaching areas. Without them, you’re nothing!”

This is the essence of nuclear blackmail!

Mutually assured destruction is too insane; no one dares to make that decision. It’s not how crazy you appear that will intimidate your enemy.

Only with enough territorial depth can nuclear blackmail be feasible.

Because the worst-case scenario is starting over, but a small country will disappear entirely from the map, without even a seat at the table, not to mention qualifications.

Similarly, Yu Sheng’an would at worst lose his preaching areas.

Even so, he can still rely on the Internet’s characteristics to remain at the table.

Though he barely holds cards, being at the table grants the right to await changes.

And what about the four main Gods and other Gods?

Many of them will permanently lose the possibility of sitting at the table.

Losing preaching areas means losing the Well of Origin.

When no one believes in them, they will eventually go mad in solitude… or die! Following Yu Sheng’an’s words, the confessional fell into deadly silence.

The God of Prophecy, Phobos, watched as Yu Sheng’an’s craziness turned to calm, his pupils dilating. The restlessness, doubt, and fear in his heart vanished!

Only reverence remained! Deep reverence! In this seemingly doomed situation, the Internet God not only found a way out but also broke the psychological defenses of his enemies with an unimaginable angle! This cunning was truly shocking and terrifying! The God of War came over, his face twisted: “I want a hundred gun production lines!”

Yu Sheng’an stood, sneering, “Then wait till the Dragon Factory blows up and see if you can pick up the scrap!”

With those words, Yu Sheng’an left boldly.

“Whoosh!”

A sharp whistling suddenly came from behind.

“Boom!”

A deafening sonic boom exploded behind Yu Sheng’an, the air boiling, and the confessional’s tables and chairs were reduced to powder almost instantly.

It was the God of War suddenly attacking violently, punching forward.

Unexpectedly, just as his fist approached Yu Sheng’an’s back, an invisible wave field suddenly appeared in the air—a shockwave formed by sound waves stacked together.

The God of War’s fist was akin to a supersonic plane hitting the sound barrier.

In the explosive roar, a large amount of white mist-like water vapor was stirred at the sound barrier, akin to a bullet piercing a water balloon, creating a sky full of water mist! The massive impact penetrated the sound barrier and triggered intense air rotation, like a vortex of death, determined to shatter the God of War’s arm and even his entire body.

Yu Sheng’an abruptly turned, eyes sharp and piercing.

The sonic boom couldn’t block his view, only to see the God of War’s face distorted, exploding with infinite Battle Qi, crazily pushing his fist forward!

The Battle Qi burned, swearing to blast through everything! The fiercer he rushed, the more terrifying the vortex of death became! “Bang!”

In the sudden explosion, Yu Sheng’an sharply turned to avoid.

In front of him, the white mist-like air suddenly turned red! A blood arrow pierced through the sound barrier, harshly cutting open Yu Sheng’an’s cheek, leaving a deep wound visible to the bone.

—The God of War would rather destroy an arm to break through Yu Sheng’an’s defense!

“Courting death!”

Yu Sheng’an suddenly became furious.

A light sphere suddenly floated above his head, and a beam of laser abruptly shot toward the God of War! The God of War didn’t retreat but advanced!

He reached out and grasped at the void, pulling out a dragon spear to thrust forward.

The sonic boom rang out once again! As the dragon spear, with hardness absolutely beyond flesh and blood, clashed with the vortex of death, the laser also hit the God of War.

In an instant, the Divine Shield rippled violently.

The God of War, nearly striking Yu Sheng’an, had to retreat! Because the laser was a broad sheet, not a beam. If he struck Yu Sheng’an, his divine projection would certainly be destroyed! Yet, as the God of War withdrew, the sheet of laser, like a maggot on rotting bones, clung to him!

—Because the entire confessional was illuminated by Yu Sheng’an’s light.

Within it, the moving God of War appeared as if under a fully-saturated motion detector. Unless he moved faster than light or wore stealth material, he could never escape Yu Sheng’an’s detection and tracking.

Wherever the light touches, everything is revealed.

“Get out!”

The God of War roared angrily, his Battle Qi surged out like seawater flooding the confessional, as if to drown everything.

The war between the two Gods escalated in an instant!

“Stop!”

The God of Life shouted angrily, an illusory world tree root appeared at the top of the confessional; countless roots twisted around like Cthulhu’s tentacles.

Yu Sheng’an let out a cold laugh and withdrew the beam.

The God of War squinted, in extreme madness and rationality weighed, finally unwillingly rolled back the full room of Battle Qi.

Meanwhile, his broken arm had already healed as did Yu Sheng’an’s intact cheek.

Yu Sheng’an looked at the God of War meaningfully, without a harsh word, and turned away directly.

This time, none of the four main Gods stopped him from leaving.

After he left, the tense air in the confessional slightly relaxed.

The four major Gods exchanged glances, seeing deep dread in each other’s eyes!

The combat power displayed by the Internet God completely exceeded their expectations.

The sonic shield and light strike, just these two abilities, represented a scale of power beyond their predictions.

Along with Yu Sheng’an’s ultimate attack during their siege of the Kewell Empire.

These three powers represent at least two different Divine Sparks! This implies, while he may not hold the Kewell preaching area, he absolutely has the strength to retaliate against them.

Thinking of this, the four main Gods felt as if they had swallowed fly droppings, their faces difficult to the extreme.
