"Death will save the bloodline of Judah; all is dedicated to the Supreme Being!"
The next second, a black beam of light shot towards the Israeli Prime Minister's residence, hitting the chamber pot squarely.
Section 13: The War Escalates to Full Speed
(Third update today, (~―▽―)~, where are your votes? (*cwe))
From first encountering extraordinary power to understanding it, humanity spent nearly three hundred years amidst turmoil and war. But to say they truly understood it would be nonsense. In the worlds connected by the Abyss Gate, there are many nations and organizations that have been exposed to extraordinary power since the dawn of civilization, some for over a thousand years. Can they be compared?
Therefore, the first five years after the abyss descended were the darkest period for mankind. The large-scale, randomly appearing superhuman individuals were terrifying destroyers of the order of various countries, especially those countries that did not treat the lower classes as human beings.
Without exaggeration, if Qin Shan wanted to become the ruler by creating global chaos, he could slaughter the high-ranking officials of various countries, seize the nuclear weapons of the major powers, and then throw them around the world, triggering a global nuclear war. After the major powers were half-dead in the war, he could descend as a god on earth with a group of ship girls.
But that would be a complete regression in history, an act of overdrawing and destroying the potential of civilization; such a desperate measure is absolutely unacceptable.
As an extraordinary individual who persevered to the very end, Qin Shan's ideological awareness must be quite high. Putting aside everything else, if he were to turn back, he would be letting down the comrades who fought alongside him back then. The more difficult the times, the more courageous warriors our nation has to forge ahead. They may not have been treated kindly by the world, but they are willing to continue human civilization by burning themselves out.
Even if it's just so he can close his eyes at night with a clear conscience, Qin Shan will not align himself with the reactionaries.
Crossing the abyss and ascending to the extraordinary—that is his goal.
Therefore, at present, no country, not even the leaders of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, can stop the deliberate targeting of extraordinary individuals beyond the seventh rank. Ye Hu has now proven this point with his own fate.
But he cannot die, at least not now.
"Hehehe, found it, the inheritor of the contract."
The voice in ancient Hebrew rang out again. Then, centered on the Night-God, a black pillar of light began to spread outwards, encompassing all the high-ranking Israelis. Immediately afterwards, powerful and bloodthirsty forces began to flow into their bodies. As this transformation began, their faces gradually became ferocious, and their power rose to the third tier.
When the black light dissipated, a magnificently dressed skeleton king stood before the converted Israeli high-ranking officials, spreading his arms and letting out an excited roar.
"Welcome back to our great kingdom of the undead, ancient contractors!"
At this moment, the Israeli high command, led by Yehu, had completely transformed into the appearance of undead. However, they still retained most of their previous appearances. Although they were no longer human in essence and had even lost their human selves, they still retained their memories and personalities. Therefore, the first impression they gave was one of evil, the kind of evil that even a person raised in the happy education system of Europe and America could feel. The overwhelming aura of death was nauseating.
"This is truly amazing!" Ye Hu, now a puppet on strings, showed an excited expression, then raised his arms and shouted, "All my fellow Jews, this is an ancient covenant! Every Jew has the opportunity to become immortal! Let us embrace the great Lord of Death!"
Ye Hu's words were naturally broadcast to the world through the live stream, and at that moment, even the comments section briefly disappeared.
"A contract? What contract?"
"Holy crap! Could it be that the Jews made some kind of pact with the devil?"
"That must be it, Jews are all devils!"
"Lord of Death, that's the name, isn't it?"
"No, no, no, it's just a title. Maybe my real name has some special effect."
"My God! Doesn't that mean all Jews could become this kind of monster?!"
It's normal to have such doubts, after all, the incident happened in Palestine, and the Israeli leadership collectively transformed into more advanced undead beings, possibly even immortal. Although the authenticity of this immortality is worth examining, judging from the changes in the Night Hu, things are more complicated than imagined.
The countries with the strongest reactions at this time were naturally the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, because they immediately thought of something else.
Israel has nuclear weapons, what if...?
Soon, their fears became a reality.
“Oh, great, supreme being, we are willing to offer our most powerful weapon as a sacrifice, the most powerful creation of mortals in this world, the nuclear weapon.”
Oh my god!!! He said it, he said it, he admitted it: Israel really does have nuclear weapons, and they are going to be traitors and hand over humanity's most powerful weapon to invaders from another world.
"Where are Wu Chang? Where is Wu Chang? Please save him quickly!"
"We don't want nuclear bombs to fall into the hands of invaders from another world!"
"Hehehe, humans, you don't want nuclear bombs to fall into our hands, do you? Then behave yourselves."
"Please calm down, fellow necromancer."
"Hey, are you in the mood for jokes at a time like this?!"
Netizens reacted quickly, but the five permanent members of the UN Security Council reacted even faster; they are already holding online meetings.
"We cannot allow Israel's nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of those monsters; we must act immediately."
It is extremely rare for Russia's proposal to be adopted so quickly and collectively within the five permanent members of the UN Security Council without going through the United Nations.
How to stop it? It's very simple, just drop a nuclear bomb, after all...
But at that moment, Biden suddenly went offline.
After a brief moment of surprise, the remaining four permanent members realized that the Jewish financial groups in the United States were up to something. Considering their infiltration in the United States and their influence on the US government, they estimated that the United States was going to cause trouble in this matter.
"Even if the US withdraws, France will still..."
Macaron was only halfway through his sentence when Little Su from the UK disconnected.
China, France, and Russia exchanged bewildered glances. Putin's face turned green. How could they be doing this kind of nonsense at a time like this, disregarding the safety of all humanity? What a joke! How did two such schizophrenic idiots end up among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council?!
Even if only China, France, and Russia remain, this matter still needs to be done because...
Okay, even the president who received the de Gaulle experience card suddenly went offline, for reasons we all know.
Even if this is true, China and Russia still decided to take immediate action, even though it would lead to uncontrollable political risks. In the face of disaster, only responsibility matters. If Israel's nuclear weapons are not removed now, the risks that may arise later will be even more terrifying.
This is a matter of life and death for human civilization. To argue at this point is tantamount to handing one's head over the table for Louis XVI's pleasure.
After all, since the Red Sea incident, the world has become something that no one can understand. Invaders from another world may not think in the same way as humans.
But at that moment, a video was suddenly inserted into the online meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.
Chapter 14: Divine Soldiers Descend from Heaven
(Update delivered. If you like it, please leave a comment! (**3*))
The "rooms" where the five permanent members of the UN Security Council hold online meetings are specially encrypted and physically isolated from the outside world. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone to break in. But today, this outrageous thing happened.
How did it do it?
It's very simple. Just sneak in physically. North Carolina took the equipment to England and then entered the room smoothly without any obstacles. No one noticed or could track him during the whole process.
However, the British Prime Minister's absence has absolutely nothing to do with North Carolina. It is due to interference from internal British forces. After all, there are quite a few Jews in Britain, and given the relationship between Britain and the United States, including the relationship between Britain and the United States, Britain is also influenced by the United States. For the British government, which has been living day by day since the end of World War II and is completely focused on "ensuring Britain survives tomorrow," its title as a permanent member of the UN Security Council is somewhat undeserved. It may be able to bully small countries, but it is a joke to compete with the real five permanent members.
Moreover, to be realistic, given the current total amount of resources on Earth, it's simply unrealistic to expect to truly support five superpowers. Supporting even two would be a challenge, and the rest would be secondary powers. Only by uniting could they possess a certain level of power that would make the five permanent members of the UN Security Council wary. But as for mutual destruction... please, the difference between an ordinary country and the five permanent members is like the difference between "as insignificant as an ant" and "as powerful as a god."
This point was amplified even more in the extraordinary era. For example, Qin Shan, who entered the seventh level in his previous life, single-handedly completed the integration of the remaining forces of the countries surrounding Longhua at that time. There must have been a lot of unpleasant things in this process. After all, there are so many contradictions within a country, let alone the cross-border integration of multiple countries and ethnic groups. This is equivalent to doing the work of Qin Shi Huang in the 23rd century. There will inevitably be bloodshed and sacrifice. In some areas, only children under the age of two were left.
It wasn't that Qin Shan was cruel, but rather that given the circumstances at the time, if these people didn't band together with other humans, they would become food for other races to use in their supernatural sacrifices. If you didn't issue an extermination order, you would become ammunition for the enemy to produce for their extermination order. The only option was to fight brutality with brutality.
This is why, after his rebirth, Qin Shan was determined to keep his supernatural powers under control, even resorting to relatively radical strategies. Perhaps future generations, with a higher perspective, could point out Qin Shan's shortcomings and prove that there were better options. However, for Qin Shan, the previous human civilization had no room for decline; every step was upward. As long as things didn't escalate to the point of the "dark five years" following the abyss, it would be equivalent to the United States, which had been conquered along the Long March, turning red—an absolute epic victory.
Beyond such macro-level strategies, there's also the influence of Qin Shan's own mindset on a micro-level. After all, he fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in his previous life. To put it bluntly, those who shouldn't exist and those who couldn't exist were all eliminated by the brutal war. Those who survived were scum, but also villains among scum, the saviors of villains. Even as a corrupt official, he was just like Heshen. Any behavior of lying down or giving up was equivalent to being eliminated in the next second.
You can be gentle, but your enemy will not be gentle to you.
The carefully designed image of Bei Zhai quickly appeared on the screen, directly facing the highest levels of the Chinese and Russian governments.
How was it designed?
Remember the ship equipment of the ship girls? It had a disguise form. Using this form, a suit of a person was created. With North Carolina's superb skills, it was possible to completely conceal the disguise from the current technology. North Carolina's current appearance is that of a fairy who looks like a cultivator.
Stop complaining. The world connected by the Abyss Gate does have cultivators, but the situation on the other side is truly indescribable.
In short: the class stratification is completely incurable, and I suggest reopening the system.
However, there are indeed many good things over there. Once the Abyss Gate connecting to that side opens, Qin Shan must go and get some useful items. After all, what Chinese son or daughter doesn't dream of becoming a sword immortal?
But to be honest, the image designed by Bei Zhai is quite different from her real self. Bei Zhai is always most energetic when she is sitting in front of the computer or by Qin Shan's side. At other times, she is in a dazed state with her eyes half-closed, as if she can never get enough sleep.
But if you think she's really a confused girl who wants to do something shady, then you'd better think Qin Shan himself is joking. Otherwise, Bei Zhai's ninth-level over-the-shoulder throw is enough to smash a person to pieces on the spot, more than the employees in Lobotomy Corporation who were killed by the aliens.
For the other two leaders in front of the screen, the image designed by Beizhai can only be summed up in four words: absolutely stunning.
Indeed, this person should only exist in heaven; what virtue has the mortal realm possessed to give birth to such an immortal?
"Greetings, leaders of a great nation from another world."
Although it was an unexpected situation, the leaders of the two countries immediately treated the fairy in front of them with a more serious and earnest attitude.
After all, this is considered the third kind of contact between humanity and other civilizations, and it will be recorded in history regardless of the outcome.
Surprisingly, the other party spoke fluent and standard Mandarin, instantly lowering the communication barrier for Longhua to a level that any Chinese person could understand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, visitor from another world."
"Time is of the essence, so let's get straight to the point. We will be sending representatives to your country soon. Our original plan was to visit all the major powers, but given the current situation, the other three countries have more serious internal problems. We would prefer to communicate with the major powers that have the capacity to implement our policies."
Both China and Russia were overjoyed and immediately made guarantees on the spot.
This is called confidence from a great power.
"Israel, um, that's the name of the country, right? They've been infiltrated by the undead legion. Some of them have signed a life pact with the undead demons, and this pact is a terrifying conceptual pact, the pact being with the entire Jewish community. Now they've found a suitable vessel and are descending on a massive scale. To avoid the worst-case scenario, we'll send specialists to handle this. I know this is just hearsay, but it's okay, because it will be over soon."
The fairy image designed by Beizhai disappeared again, and then a huge sword blade spanning the sky appeared in the live broadcast.
It is truly enormous; even in a game, it would trigger megalophobia in players, let alone in real life. Its ancient and heavy appearance, like a super-enlarged version of the Eight-Sided Han Sword, is like a deity judging heaven and earth about to unleash divine punishment on humanity.
The undead below suddenly stopped moving, and the Israeli soldiers who were fighting the undead also looked up at the sky.
Majestic, powerful, and mysterious—that's the feeling a greatsword evokes, a peerless power unmatched by any other.
The live stream chat paused briefly once again, followed by a dense barrage of exclamations.
However, everyone was thinking the same thing: if such a huge sword were to fall, Tel Aviv and the Holy City might become nothing more than historical relics.
But the giant swords certainly wouldn't consider anyone else's thoughts. Under the watchful eyes of the world, the two giant swords crashed down. However, as they fell, the giant swords continuously transformed into countless tiny blades, beginning to precisely hunt down the undead in the city.
You wouldn't believe it, but they are capable of precision guidance.
From the air, Tel Aviv and the interior of the Holy City appeared as if countless torrents of Han swords had appeared. Wherever they passed, all the mind-binders and shackled wings were annihilated. In a dazzling light, the undead were like pencil marks erased by an eraser, large swaths of them were wiped out on the spot, so clean that not a trace was left, as if those filthy lives had never existed in the world.
It was beautiful, so beautiful—a beauty of strength and order, a beauty of life and justice. The beauty of power and the beauty of order were unified into a concrete image and became an eternal memory for a generation on Earth.
As the tide of Han swords receded, all the undead vanished.
"I'm alive? "
"They've disappeared! All those skeletons have disappeared!"
"This is God's will! This is God's will! God has saved us!"
The survivors knelt devoutly on the ground, expressing their gratitude to a God who existed somewhere unknown. After all, Israel is a typical religious country, and now, coupled with this method of salvation that is far beyond human comprehension, it is normal for such fanatical group worship to occur.
But at that moment, the roar of the undead Night Bear came from afar.
"You destroyed the Supreme's offerings, you damned blasphemers!"
Section 15: Third Kind of Contact
(Second update, please give me some votes and coins (*cwt))
The best food should be saved for last, and the most iconic execution should naturally be placed in the most conspicuous position.
Ye Hu has evolved once again. With the blessing of extraordinary power, Ye Hu, now only having that iconic face left, ascends the execution platform in its most evil form, roaring to take revenge on the enemy who destroyed the Supreme Plan.
This scene was naturally broadcast live to the world, instantly turning Ye Hu into a household name as a "great man".
However, starting today, he will be forever nailed to the pillar of historical shame. Any attempt to whitewash him at the official level will be met with a heavy blow. Evil and darkness will become the historical terms he bears, because his image and actions, under Qin Shan's manipulation, have become something that even a country like the United States would not dare to whitewash.
If it were a human act of evil in the traditional sense, it could be whitewashed. But when it involves the extraordinary, and a power that humans cannot understand, a power that can kill or even threaten the ruling class, the Huang family will not be careless until they truly grasp this power in their own hands. They will resolutely resist and oppose any behavior that threatens their lives.
Extreme selfishness can also be a form of selflessness in another sense; the principle of reversal when things reach their extreme applies.
Now that the characters have all appeared, the next step is to make the performance on stage something that the audience enjoys and that will garner cheers from all over the world.
Thus, the image designed by Northtown was adopted by Lexington, and the fairy with a long sword but a very fantastical and technological appearance made her debut.
The reason for this design is that in the other world Qin Shan visited in his previous life, there was a divine continent where cultivation and technology developed in tandem. The people there had made cultivation a skill that everyone could learn, much like nine years of compulsory education. They had also developed many high-level magical artifacts that even low-level cultivators could use, such as the Golden Armor General. That thing was actually a super-large humanoid mecha, reaching a height of twenty meters. It had a thick magic array shield and was itself a mobile arsenal. It could even split mountains and rocks at close range. The divine continent even used these Golden Armor Generals to open up mountains and build roads.
The highest level there had reached the tenth rank, and what impressed Qin Shan the most was the Cyber Sword Immortal there.
It is indeed very cyberpunk, a combination of technological design and classical sword-wielding, making fantasy feel like science fiction.
Or how about we call it Xuanke?
For ordinary people on Earth, these things are too far removed from their lives, belonging to the incomprehensible realm of Cthulhu. However, everyone has a love for beauty, and everyone likes beautiful things. The fusion of the cyber swordsman and the fairy descending to earth instantly brought a completely new aesthetic to the world, one that past humans could not feel, a truly realistic aesthetic impact.
How beautiful is Lexington now transformed into the Cyber Fairy?
To put it simply, true beauty is something that cannot be described in words.
