Light pierced through the vastness of space , traveling towards the distant Sun. Many people who witnessed this light felt a sense of relief.
The King of the Ming Dynasty was always there, but even more people wished he would go away forever.
Many people in this world did not want a god to appear over them. It was a great threat to them. Therefore, the disappearance of the Ming King was the best outcome for many.
Watching the giant god disappear before his eyes , director Fury scratched his ears. He did so even though he knew the sound wasn't coming from his ears.
"A god who preaches kindness sounds far better than a Loki who demands human lives as sacrifices . Ah, should I thank him for indirectly reducing my workload?"
Faced with Warden Fury's grumbling, Commander Hill wisely kept his mouth shut. Anything he said at this moment would clearly be wrong, so it was better to remain silent. If he waited patiently, Warden Fury would naturally ignore him.
Shortly afterward, Principal Fury stopped grumbling and turned to his assistant .
"Do you think it will reappear?"
"There's a high probability, Officer ." This time Commander Hill replied quickly and confidently. "Since it appeared once, it's very likely to appear a second time. But beyond that, Officer , I think we should pay more attention to other matters."
"What kind of problems?" Director Fury hadn't noticed any disruption because all his attention was on His Majesty the Ming King . But knowing that Commander Hill wouldn't speak without a reason, he immediately asked seriously.
"His prophet, Officer ! Personally, I think his proclaimed messengers and soul-gathering demons pose a greater threat than him. After all, there is only one God. But his messengers and those so-called soul-gathering demons are far more numerous. If we allow this..."
Commander Hill stopped abruptly, leaving many things to consider. Although he didn't articulate his anticipated outcomes, Warden Fury had already understood his thoughts.
The consequences can be very serious.
In short, this is a direct challenge to all existing systems. To judge a person's guilt or need for judgment solely based on what one perceives as good or bad is undoubtedly a disrespect to all human laws and those who champion justice.
Worse still, this is equivalent to exposing darkness that cannot be brought to light. If a condemned person is found innocent and released by invoking the name of the Ming King and receiving God's blessing, or if a criminal dies from the soul-sucking methods of demons after invoking his name, this will clearly demonstrate to everyone that their laws have fallen into utter injustice. And this will also mean that those who possess such powers will be utterly humiliated.
Furthermore, if high-ranking national officials or heads of government were to suddenly die after mentioning this name, it would be an absolute disaster for that country.
This is something that all rulers or those who maintain order would not want to see, because ideologically it would fundamentally shake the foundations of how this world is governed .
As a protector of vested interests, Director Fury naturally didn't want the established order of this world to collapse . That's why he asked so seriously.
"This is a big problem. Have you thought about how to solve it?"
"Define his teachings as a worldwide cult! Forbid anyone from mentioning his name or spreading the word about him." Commander Hill quickly proposed a solution, but Warden Fury rejected it.
"This is impossible. If anyone dares to do this, they will certainly be completely overthrown by those fanatics. You should know that there are already countless followers of his in this world . If anyone dares to do this, they will certainly be burned alive by their wrath. This would be going against the world . We do not have such power."
"Therefore, the only thing we can do is try to contact him or the religion registered in his name and have a good conversation with them. If we can reach an agreement, perhaps the situation will improve."
Having heeded Warden Fury's warning , Commander Hill immediately suggested another solution. Warden Fury carefully considered this method before continuing to ask questions.
"Do you think he will establish a religion, or will he agree to talk to us?"
"Since he dared to declare his name, he must have such intentions. I'm sure he will establish his own belief, otherwise wouldn't all those grand actions be meaningless?"
"You're right!" Director Fury nodded, agreeing with Commander Hill , and instructed: " I will go to the Security Council and discuss this matter with them. Command is now yours. I have only one request: avoid conflict and show our goodwill as much as possible. But before you return, do not reveal any of your intentions!"
"Yes, Officer !" Commander Hill replied immediately upon receiving the order . Director Fury then quickly departed. The situation was somewhat complex, and he needed to consult with the Security Council as soon as possible to develop an appropriate countermeasure .
In any case, SHIELD had already sprung into action. So had Zhou Yi and Lilith .
The Ming King's transformation into light and departure from the world was merely a mask he had created. The truth was that he had returned to the ruined fortress with Lilith . He also found Lilith 's High Spokesperson Anvina and her guard Selina there .
They had already arrived when Lilith was resurrected . However, by then the Witch's dimension had already opened. Despite their status, they couldn't enter. Therefore, they didn't realize what was happening until His Majesty the Ming King descended to Earth .
Selina was naturally overjoyed, while the Great Speaker ... Anvina was worried. Fortunately, the final result allowed them all to breathe a sigh of relief and feel genuine satisfaction.
Zhou Yi and Lilith had formed an alliance. Although temporary, the time for them to turn against each other hadn't yet come. Therefore, a harmonious union between the two seemed still possible. Of course, the final outcome would depend entirely on the conversation between the two deities.
For now, their conversation seemed pleasant.
Returning to his old self, Zhou Yi was a guest in Lilith's Hell . Behind him, closely followed, was Selina . She had been extremely nervous ever since she learned that she had come to Hell with Zhou Yi .
Because the word "hell" was terrifying to him . The bright red color before his eyes caused him a deep unease in his heart.
Even though it was part of the legends, the thought of passing through hell still sent shivers down his spine. After all, the difference between them was immense. He didn't know what he would have done if Zhou Yi hadn't been by his side, shouldering such a heavy burden in his place.
"This is your officer. He looks a little tense. But don't worry, it's not that scary here . At least it's much better than the Devil's and Mephisto's hell !"
Lilith , transforming back into her half-human, half-snake form , smiled and spoke to Selina . Her magic was astonishing, especially her crimson eyes filled with a demonic allure. This charm overwhelmed Selina , herself a woman, leaving her unable to control her inner world, and she stumbled forward in a dazed state.
However, before she could take two steps, Zhou Yi placed his hand on her shoulder. At the same moment, Zhou Yi's voice came from behind her.
"Isn't this a bit excessive, Lilith ? Are you trying to provoke me by doing this?"
"I didn't mean that!" Hearing Zhou Yi's words , Lilith silently lowered her devilish gaze. Selina regained her composure and quickly took two steps back, bumping into Zhou Yi's arms.
This made Lilith laugh, and she said to Zhou Yi:
"You seem very fond of this girl. She's truly a lovely child . Is she a relative (family member/caregiver)?"
"Not yet, but soon. Lilith , did you invite me here just to talk about such trivial matters?"
Lilith smiled slightly, swayed her body, and summoned two long chairs above the endless sea of blood. She sat in one of the chairs and, with an inviting gesture, extended her hand to Zhou Yi.
"Please sit down. The remaining matters are very important and we need to discuss them carefully."
Zhou Yi sat in his chair and listened carefully. He wanted to hear what Lilith really wanted to say. As an ancient goddess, her experience was sometimes truly significant.
Seeing Zhou Yi's humble and inquisitive demeanor , Lilith immediately displayed a charming smile.
" Your Majesty the Ming King , I believe you already have the idea of establishing a religion, don't you? Do you know how to do that?"
Zhou Yi nodded clearly in response.
" Lilith , don't beat around the bush; say clearly what you mean. I don't have the methods or experience to establish a belief system, but that shouldn't concern you."
" Your Majesty the Ming King , you should be a little more patient, especially with regard to the opposite sex !" Lilith wasn't angry; she simply wore a sorrowful expression. Of course, with her unparalleled beauty, this sorrowful expression naturally possessed a captivating charm. "You should know that I have been sealed for thousands of years. And during that time, the Sumerian and Canaanite pantheons of gods have long since collapsed. What remains are only a few minor gods, and even they may not accept a poor woman like me."
"Huh?" Zhou Yi murmured, gesturing for him to continue.
"So, I was thinking of finding a new home. Well, Your Majesty King Ming , what do you say, let's establish a new pantheon together? Using your power and my experience, we can create a new pantheon and a new God-Kingdom in this world . "
Lilith's voice grew even more excited as she spoke , as if she had thought of something worth rejoicing about. Just then, a single sentence from Zhou Yi shattered her joy.
"So, you want to join my ranks and become a god who obeys me?"
