Chapter 369: Chapter 369
The policemen, respectful and sweating, escorted the five "superpowers" who were comparable to nuclear bombs into the police cars.
Instead of taking them to the police station, they were directly invited to the VIP room of the city's highest authority.
The city's top official was drenched in sweat as he conversed with the five young heroes. There were not only officials present but also reporters from major news agencies.
At this time, the entire country's Internet went into a frenzy, with passersby uploading numerous videos of the incident online.
It was followed by headlines from major news agencies, and soon the footage spread around the world. People worldwide learned about what happened almost in real-time.
Due to the large number of videos shot by witnesses and the official headlines of major news agencies, people around the world thought it was incredible but not false.
After all, with so many videos from bystanders and multiple official media sources reporting it, how could it be fake?
Moreover, experts from various countries analyzed the authenticity of the footage.
During the conversation between the five young heroes and the mayor on the 'News Live' program, information about 'divine envoys,' 'artifacts,' 'gods,' 'the truth of the world,' 'seals,' and other details were revealed.
This directly caused cracks in the world's perception of reality.
Of course, this didn't collapse people's belief in "science" but made scientists even more excited.
In addition to scientists, religious figures were even more enthusiastic.
Especially senior bishops, some of whom previously thought that "God" was merely a comforting belief.
Now, being told that God truly exists changed everything.
The Christian Pope immediately issued a statement.
People all over the world watched the interview on the news:
[As the sister of the Evil King's True Eye, can you reveal any secrets about the Evil King's True Eye?]
[Huh? I don't know!]
[Excuse me, as the mother of the divine messenger who was chosen by the gods to be the second to possess the Sword of the Lake after King Arthur...]
[Let me tell you quietly, as a neighbor of Rikka, she always acted strange when she was young. It turns out she is a divine messenger...]
At the same time, atop a high-rise building:
"Ahahaha, this is so much fun! My stomach hurts from laughing. No wonder people who love entertainment are so crazy."
Alice held her stomach and burst into laughter.
Rias asked, slightly embarrassed and confused, "Lady Alice, is it really that funny?"
Sona blinked, "I don't see the humor in it."
Rossweisse nodded in agreement.
Asia also blinked, looking puzzled.
Alice waved her hand, wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. "You don't understand yet, but you will when you get to my age. Either you become a fun person, or you become the boss who disdains everything."
Rias shook her head, indicating she still didn't understand. She looked at the live TV broadcast on the big screen in the supermarket and smiled.
"I said they would do a good job, and they did. I think they have great potential. I wonder if the Lord God will let the four of them join the divine system."
Sona said, "After this planet is annexed, they might truly receive the Eye of God. Even if they don't, Rias, what you gave them will most likely be enough to light up the fourth life star detected by the 'Cosmic Center.'"
"When the time comes, they will definitely be automatically included in our Traveler God System."
Alice clapped her hands. "Alright, the next story continues, hehe! Let's let people breathe for the next two days, and then we'll shock them again."
In the past two days, the five young heroes became the focus of the world.
Many secrets of the 'other world' were learned from them.
For example, the gods in the 'Eye of God' and the 'Divine Realm' exist across different myths around the world.
If someone has the desire to fight for good, the gods will cast their gaze upon them and grant them the 'Eye of God,' making them qualified to ascend to the divine realm.
This news was shared worldwide, and soon, it was revealed that several people had obtained the 'Eye of God.'
The humans who obtained the 'Eye of God' also demonstrated 'extraordinary powers' during live broadcasts. Although their powers were not as strong as those of the five heroes, they were still impressive.
After the five heroes returned home, they were 'interrogated' by their families. Their parents were proud that their children were loved by the gods but also worried about their dangerous mission.
On the third day, the 'Gate to Hell' appeared again in Tokyo.
A dedicated cameraman live-streamed the process of Kotori and her companions teleporting through space.
People clearly realized how powerful the 'Divine Envoy' was.
Then, the whole world witnessed the battle between angels and more than a dozen demons in the 'Black and White World.'
Countless boys and girls watched with excitement.
Adults were stunned by the destructive power on display.
If it hadn't been for the 'barrier,' more than half of the metropolis with tens of millions of residents would have been destroyed.
The current power level of the five heroes is "quasi-god," and the ultimate move of their "artifacts" has the potential to destroy a small town in one blow, equivalent to a small nuclear weapon.
In just two battles, the five young heroes became world-class idols.
In the following days, the Gate of Hell appeared several times on various continents.
Rias and the others even performed in person. Afterward, everyone had a great time.
Regarding their identities, they were naturally introduced as envoys descended from the gods.
With the explanations provided by the five heroes, people accepted a new worldview.
People understood that in the future, the 'Eye of God' holders who ascended to the divine realm would not be much different from themselves.
After all, these 'demons' bore a strong resemblance to those in mythology, and they were simply considered troublemakers from the abyss.
Lumine put her hands on her hips and said, 'Huh, my brother already has enough blame on him anyway, so it doesn't matter if he takes more.'
Aether, the 'Abyss Monarch,' who was driving the 'Apocalypse Emperor Beast' to farm and mine in the 'Abyss,' suddenly sneezed.
"Oh!"
"What's going on? I'm the Supreme God. Why did I sneeze?"
Within two months, Alice had done her work across the globe.
Even the new Eye of God holders joined in.
Rias provided them with disposable props from the 'Black and White World' and had them 'perform' together.
Of course, they weren't aware that it was all a "performance," and they genuinely fought to the death with the demon armies countless times.
Alice, indulging her mischievous nature, even opened the 'Gate to Hell' in the Vatican.
Thousands of demons rushed out, scaring the Christian Pope and bishops to the point of fainting.
Then, Saint Asia took the stage, bestowing 'Holy Light' upon the believers. The believers fought to the death against the demons.
Asia also became an 'angel' and returned to 'heaven' before the eyes of believers worldwide.
Three billion believers worldwide rejoiced.
Later, Rossweisse, the Nordic Valkyrie, rode Pegasus to single-handedly chase hundreds of demons, sending the Nordic countries into a fervor.
Within two months, the world's belief level reached 100%, and the annexation process automatically began.
Takumi watched all this and couldn't help but remark, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, they really know how to put on a show. They're better at it than I am. Truly worthy of Chu Lumine and Jian Wu."
"But... what a good sister, making her brother the scapegoat. If Aether finds out, she'll probably be furious on the spot."
From now on, those resembling deities on this parallel Earth would be more or less hostile to the 'Lord of the Abyss.'
