Chapter 344: Rumors about the Anthem Company are not rumors
The light cleared away the clouds, and Irene flapped her wings in the sunset and slowly landed, standing on the top floor of the Anthem Company.

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are focused on her.

This was the first time that Irene revealed her true identity in front of the camera, but no introduction was needed, as everyone guessed her identity at this moment.

The greatest masterpiece of the Anthem Company, a new type of artificial god, the Eternal Light, Irene.

After experiencing the previous apocalyptic scene and comparing it with the current scene, no one would doubt the success of Anthem Company's artificial god plan.

Those questioning voices disappeared the moment Irene appeared.

Facing the cameras of the whole world, Irene first opened her arms, and thousands of points of light emanated from her arms.

Spots of light fell like rain, calming everyone's minds and healing the injuries they had just suffered in the chaos.

Whether they were trampled in the crowd or knocked over by the strong wind, the injuries were healed rapidly in the light, causing shouts of "miracle" to continue.

After spreading the light, Irene flapped the four wings behind her, rushed into the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The departure of the god drove the media below into a frenzy.

They stormed the Anthem Company and shouted to the staff:
"Let us look at the Light of Eternal Purity again."

"Just one look, one glance, and we'll do anything."

……

Some of them came from the heart, some were based on traffic and popularity, but no matter which one, it proved the success of this promotion.

But no matter how the media begged, the security guards of Anthem Company still guarded the company's gate and refused to provide any help.

Although Wu Chang prepared Irene as a new generation of man-made god, from the beginning to the end, he had never planned to let Irene appear in the public eye at close range as some kind of man-made creature.

Distance creates beauty. A powerful and mysterious god is always better than a technological creation that anyone can see up close.

On the top floor of the Anthem Company, Wu Chang glanced at the big tree next to him that had grown into a pillar of the Kingdom of God, and walked down from the temporary altar with satisfaction.

It didn't take much effort for him to create the realistic doomsday scene just now.

All it takes is a simple method of creating clouds and rain, combined with the yellow monster that can be projected from nothingness to reality, to easily shock the mortals below.

As he harvested more faith, he became more skilled at playing tricks.

Back at his desk, he was about to greet Irene when he saw a message from his secretary on his computer.

The company's ninth-level partners and eighth-level department managers are all applying to meet Wu Chang.

Irene's appearance stunned not only the audience around the world, but also the "insiders" like them.

Isn’t the Opus of Light Project a new PPT folder created by the new chairman to stabilize the company’s status and structure?

Everyone is preparing for the press conference and how will the real thing come out?

After the leaders of each department checked their accounts, they found that no one had received any R&D plan from the chairman, nor had they cooperated in any aspect of the R&D.

The core of the Shining Hymn Project is still the News Department.

The company's top executives were instantly stunned. Could it be that the disqualified monsters outside that seemed to be destroying the world, and the man-made gods that suddenly appeared, were all created by the chairman himself?

Although former chairman Schultz could come up with some amazing inventions on his own, he still needed their help to turn his plans into reality.

Chairman Sean, on the other hand, bypassed everyone else and did the job himself.

If this continues, the company will only need the News Department, and other senior executives will become dispensable.

Thinking about their future, the company's top executives can no longer sit still.

Wu Chang knew that they were anxious, but there was no point in being anxious because the scheduled time for the press conference had already arrived.

This is a good opportunity to leave them alone for a while, so that they can have enough sense of crisis and know that if they don't perform well, they may be replaced at any time.

When they are eager to demonstrate their own value, it will be much easier for He Yun to take over the Anthem Company.

Just like that, the executives, in a state of distraction, forced themselves to enter the press conference.

Compared to the media who kept asking questions off the court, they had more questions in their minds than the other side.

Fortunately, Wu Chang was in control and was able to ensure the smooth progress of the press conference.

At the press conference, the media had only one question.

That is the Shining Hymn Project.

What exactly is the existence of Irene, is it a more advanced weapon, and to what extent has the Anthem of Light project been carried out.

Wu Chang was well prepared for this problem.

In the dungeon plane, there are many conspiracy theories regarding the sudden rise of Anthem Corporation.

The most widely spread one is the speculation about aliens.

It is suspected that Anthem was invited by the federal government to study alien spacecraft hidden in the secret base of Area 53.

Some people also suspect that Anthem bypassed the federal government and picked up an alien spaceship on its own, or even that former chairman Schultz is an alien.

In response to this, Wu Chang's first answer was, "There is one thing I need to clarify for everyone. The rumor that Anthem Company has obtained an alien spacecraft is not a rumor."

"Aliens really exist. We have been hiding this news because we are worried that it will cause panic among the public."

"But everyone has seen the monster just now. The end of the world is approaching, and the truth can no longer be concealed. I can only tell you the truth."

Wu Chang paused, stretched out his hand and waved it back, allowing Irene to slowly walk out of the special passage.

"The so-called artificial god plan is just a statement made to make it easier for everyone to accept. In fact, the Miss Irene who just appeared is the god from the Kingdom of Light in the M87 Nebula."

"He came to our planet with love and peace, and with mission and responsibility, to fight to help us escape the shadow of doomsday."

Anyway, there was no Ultraman in the Anthem Company dimension, so he moved the settings of those guys who could only last three to five minutes and would shout and spray at full force when the time was up, directly to Irene.

"During her interstellar journey, Miss Irene was ambushed by a monster and had no choice but to hide and recover from her injuries."

"Now He has basically recovered and can block the monster that brings doomsday from the planet. That is why He appeared at my invitation."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly caused a shock in the entire plane, including the major financial backers of Anthem Company and the company's senior management.

As the elite class, they openly scoff at the conspiracy theories circulating in the community, but in fact they are unsure about it secretly.

After all, the technology Schultz brought was too advanced. For example, the technology of primordial weaponry and psychic energy surgery was at least a hundred years ahead of current technology.

When Schultz's most trusted cousin, Chairman Sean, who had just performed a miracle, confirmed the existence of aliens, they believed it before the media in the audience.

In addition, Irene actually appeared before people's eyes, and her unique aura that belonged to a god made people even more convinced.

For a while, the reactions of different forces varied.

Inside the White House, Meishenzong was furious and denounced the Federation's deep government for concealing the truth and colluding with the Anthem Company, which resulted in the Anthem Company taking all the spoils and causing the Federation to lose the opportunity to become great again.

The financial backers of Anthem Company were mixed with joy and anger. They were happy because they didn't know how many times the shares of Anthem Company they held would increase in value after today.

What made them angry was that they all thought they were as close as brothers to Schultz, but how come they didn't hear anything about such a big thing?

After eating all the meat, why was he reluctant to even share a mouthful of the soup? He could only leave some water for washing the pot.

As for the top executives and employees of Anthem Company, all that was left was ecstasy.

What could be cooler and more promising than working for a company that masters alien technology?
Before Anthem came along, all it had to do was hype up its plans to go to Mars to become the most sci-fi technology company.

But look now, Mars? M87 Nebula!

Just by hearing the name, it is much higher than Mars.

But after the ecstasy, there is a huge sense of crisis.

In the past, working in Anthem Company had become the ultimate dream of workers due to its high salary and benefits, and this is probably even more so now.

If they don't do it, there are plenty of people who will.

In the past, I could get off work at four o'clock after working overtime, but now I have to work until five o'clock, no, half past five!
After a brief silence, the media realized what Wu Chang said, and the next moment they went completely crazy, wanting to rush forward to interview Irene up close.

No one can resist the opportunity to interview an alien being, even if it's just to get close enough to say a few words. This will be engraved on their tombstone in the future.

But Wu Chang had been prepared for their actions.

As soon as Irene raised her hand, everyone present was bound by light magic, as if they were hit by a spell, and their bodies remained in their previous movements, motionless.

Wu Chang said:

"I'm sorry, Everlasting Light is not good at communicating with people, and will not accept any interviews for the time being." "But don't worry, He and I have established a spiritual channel, and He will communicate with me spiritually. If there is any danger, I will convey it to the world on His behalf."

Irene's light magic once again stunned everyone in the field.

If killing the yellow monster was too far away from everyone before, healing the wounded was something only a few people had experience with.

This time, everyone felt the majesty from the gods.

The feeling of powerlessness from having completely lost control of their bodies made them truly realize the difference between gods and mortals.

Seeing the power of faith continuously gathering towards the Pillar of the Kingdom of God, Wu Chang signaled Irene, who had a stern face, to leave.

The aloof personality doesn't suit Irene. He was afraid that Irene would lose control and show an approachable expression.

Being too approachable is not necessarily a good thing sometimes; it may make some people become complacent and take protection for granted.

In the Anthem Company dimension, Irene’s position is the savior of mankind, the savior of Anthem Company only.

After receiving Wu Chang's hint, Irene slowly floated into the air, her two pairs of wings slowly spread out, revealing her true form as a god.

Then he flapped his wings and disappeared in front of everyone out of thin air.

As Irene left, the restraints on everyone disappeared and they resumed their movements.

They looked up at the place where Irene disappeared, then lowered their heads after a moment, turned their gazes to Wu Chang, and rushed towards him excitedly.

"Chairman Sean, can you really communicate with the Light of Eternal Cleanliness?"

“Chairman Sean, can you let God Irene appear for a while longer?”

"Sean..."

Wu Chang hissed, thinking that he had miscalculated and the binding spell was released too early.

As he stepped back, he waved and called out, "Security, stop them!"

The chaos lasted for nearly half an hour. Only when people calmed down enough did Wu Chang return to the scene and accept interviews from the media.

It’s just that it wasn’t an interview with all media, but only a few selected representatives.

During the waiting period, the News Department has already done the screening based on the background checks.

Those who like to say that Anthem is a monopoly; those who criticize Anthem for its lack of diversity and minority employees; and those who question the Plasma Armed Forces and artificial gods are all excluded.

After filtering out the monsters and demons, the remaining questions became much more harmonious, and the questions asked were also the ones that people care about most.

For example, questions like what is the end of the world, what will the future of the earth be like, will the Eternal Light appear often, etc.

The only explosive question came from the official federal media.

"Chairman Sean, you said before that technology from alien space is a treasure belonging to all mankind, so have you ever considered publishing all alien technology and sharing it with other countries or companies?"

Wu Chang was stunned for a moment and asked, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly. Please ask again."

The other party seemed not to understand Wu Chang's meaning and repeated, "Chairman Sean, you..."

Although the federal official reporters could not understand what Wu Chang meant, the security members of Anthem Company could understand it.

This time, before the other party could finish speaking, two muscular men about 1.9 meters tall came up behind him, pulled his arms and covered his mouth, and led him out of the venue.

Everyone present looked at their noses and their hearts, as if they couldn't see the guy being dragged away.

The time in the venue seemed to be paused.

Wu Chang kept smiling and looked at the struggling reporter.

No, buddy, you really ask when I ask you.

That's why he didn't want Irene to act approachable. Some people will take advantage of you once they think you're reasonable.

When the other party completely disappeared, Wu Chang said with a smile:

"Since everyone has no other questions, let's move on to the next step."

"With the recovery of Yongjie Light, the Light Hymn Project has officially come to an end. Next, the operation of the Holy Anthem Company will enter the next stage."

Upon hearing Wu Chang's announcement, all the executives of Anthem Company present pricked up their ears.

They were unable to contribute to the Anthem of Light project, so they must seize the opportunity in the next task.

Wu often joked: "Friends who come here should have some understanding of my resume, and should also know that I am not a research and development talent."

The reporters present had strange expressions on their faces. Since they were not R&D talents, their words were too reserved.

In terms of academic qualifications alone, Chairman Sean is not only inferior to the employees of Anthem Company, but even compared with this group of reporters, there is a gap.

It is for this reason that when Irene shows up, all parties will be extremely optimistic about Anthem Company and at the same time dispel their doubts about Schultz's condition.

With the abilities shown by Irene, she has gone one step further than the artificial gods in Schulz's hymn plan.

If Schultz had not died, his existence would be the soul of Anthem Company, and Anthem Company would still be the same Anthem Company as before.

If Schultz is dead, then it can be confirmed that Irene is an alien.

Everyone understood that with Sean's intelligence, let alone improving the hymn plan, being able to sing hymns in a standard way was considered his usual interest in music.

The Light of Eternal Cleanliness is either the work of Schulz or it really is an alien.

Either way, it will allow Anthem to maintain its transcendent position and not be shaken.

Wu Chang continued, "So next, I will appoint a vice chairman to work with Chief Technical Advisor Jeffrey to control the technical analysis and research and development of Anthem in the next stage."

"This vice chairman is a student of former chairman Mr. Schultz. She will report to the company in two days after she finishes her research."

He paused, giving the media and company executives enough time to react, and then continued:

"The focus of the company's next stage of development will still be the original weapons. The original weapons previously ordered will be delivered in the future."

"Because our vice chairman has developed a new technology, she will continue to manufacture a new generation of more powerful original weapons, and even mechas that often appear in science fiction works."

The word "mecha" has a fatal attraction as long as it is in the technological dimension.

Everyone in the conference hall began to breathe rapidly. The media were imagining a sci-fi future, the financiers were thinking about the changes in the world situation that mechas would bring, and the top executives of various departments of the company were thinking about how they should play a role in the new stage.

Wu Chang said:

"Anthem is a company that focuses on scientific research and is determined to lead humanity into the future. It is indeed more appropriate for such a company to be led by someone who understands technology."

"So, this vice chairman will have all my authority when I am not in the company."

"Finally, the Light of Eternal Cleanliness will protect mankind from the end of the world, and the new vice chairman will lead mankind into the future."

“That’s all I wanted to say at this press conference. I hope everyone can look forward to the next phase of Anthem Company.”

This Anthem press conference was world-changing in many ways.

People's cognition and lives seemed to have undergone a qualitative change in just one or two hours.

Whether it is the end of the world, alien technology, alien gods or future mechas, any one of them seems like a fairy tale.

People quickly fell into confusion, but quickly got out of it.

Because all their attention was shifted to the alien god, Irene, who briefly appeared at the press conference.

It turns out that the world they live in has been safe and sound for such a long time because they have the protection of the God of Light.

Now Irene’s kindness has finally been repaid.

As the official information was completed, the Church of Everlight, with Irene as its god, spread rapidly in the Anthem Company plane.

Since Wu Chang mentioned in the press conference that the technology of the Anthem Company came from Irene, it seems reasonable that joining the Yongguang Sect is a prerequisite for becoming an employee of the Anthem Company.

Driven by this rule, the trend of joining the Yongguang Sect swept across all colleges and universities in the Federation and even the world.

The pillar of the Kingdom of God in the chairman's office is stable, and the plane of Anthem Company has been incorporated into the large Kingdom of God.

The easy part is over, and now comes the hardest part.

Wu Chang rubbed his brows and glanced at Irene secretly.

It was time for him to take Irene to the underground shelter to pick up his vice chairman.
