You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 186 God, Godoy!
God, before becoming God, was just an ordinary person.

At that time, his name was Godoy.

He was born into a civilian family in the Lu'an Empire. His life was ordinary, but he could still fill his stomach.

Godoy grew up in such an environment until he was 12 years old, and then the empire broke out into foreign wars, and life began to become difficult.

He was a hard-working kid, but during that time, no matter how hard he tried, he was always hungry. He always felt that something was wrong.

Later, anti-war demonstrations broke out in nearby towns. They were suppressed, and some time later, some people joined the uprising against the Empire.

Someone quietly came to the town to promote the ideas of the rebels, saying that the trend of "democracy and republic" around the world is like a torrent, and the empire is reversing history.

At the beginning, no one understood.

"A republic means changing the emperor?"

"A republic has no emperor."

"What if there is no emperor?"

The low literacy rate made it difficult for people to grasp the concept of democracy, so the propagandists had to change their rhetoric:

“There is no emperor, but there is food to eat.”

"It's good to have food to eat." The villagers swallowed their saliva and were very happy.

From then on, people came to promote the cause every now and then. But they just did propaganda, not even giving us an egg or a bite of food, and gradually no one came to listen.

Later, recruiters from the empire came and promoted the idea of defending the country.

They didn't give us eggs or food either, but they had guns.

Therefore, every household had one person serving in the army.

The fourteen-year-old "God" was also drafted into the army.

After seven days of training, he was given a gun and dozens of bullets; a blood-stained military uniform that was taken from some dead guy; and a tactical manual.

The title page of the manual has a portrait of King Lacy II printed on it, with a sentence below the portrait:

"His Majesty will be with you no matter where or when."

After a brutal battle, he awakened his abilities and finally got the chance to cross classes.

Since then, he has read a lot of books and his horizons have broadened.

Gradually, he recalled those propagandists who talked about "democracy and republic". From then on, he consciously collected some of the "banned books" of the empire.

Later, the empire was defeated and collapsed.

The emperor printed in the tactical manual was ultimately unable to be with the soldiers.

He flew to the United Kingdom and lived in his large estate.

The empire became a republic, and the soldiers were either disbanded or disbanded and reorganized.

Because he is a person with special abilities, Godoy got a good position.

But he saw that the people at the bottom of society were still having a hard time. The only thing that had changed was the people in power.

Godoy was stunned. The Republic had only been established for a year, the empire was still warm, and the first wife taken away by the old emperor had not been replaced, but the Republic had already begun to decay.

So, Godoy gave up his position and, with the idea of saving the country, found the propagandist who had promoted democracy.

"It's time to establish a real republic, brother," he said to the propagandist.

The propagandist spread his hands:
“But it’s a republic now!
"Also, please call me Captain or Sir. If you meet other people, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."

Godoy remained silent about this. Perhaps the propagandist hadn't intended to promote a "democratic republic" from the beginning, but the rebels simply gave him eggs and food.

And during this period of confusion, Godoy's "mentor" found him and took him into the ruins of the mythological civilization.

The relics gave him a great opportunity, a potential to change the world.

"What do you need me to do for you?" he asked his mentor. He had been poor since childhood and did not believe that anyone could give him such a great benefit for nothing.

The mentor simply told him calmly: "Go do what you want to do, and one day in the future, you will come to me."

Since then, a great idea gradually grew in his mind: to build a brand new Ru'an, a Ru'an with no or very little corruption and exploitation.

He then founded the Ru'an People's Anti-Imperialist and Anti-Colonial Armed Forces, also known as the "Resistance Army," and formulated a series of combat plans against the occupying powers and puppet regimes.

This includes a series of methods such as using stone spiders to parasitize the enemy's leaders and assassinating them.

The initial stage of the rebellion was smooth, but as the rebels occupied most of the southern territory and moved their headquarters to the largest city in the south: Barnet.

Since then, many people within the resistance army have become complacent and indulged in pleasure.

Some people even became corrupt, and they learned from the imperial officials to extract benefits from the people.

Later, this group of people were executed by Godoy, and the rules of the resistance became stricter.

But two years later, ordinary people gave "God" a little shock.

In an election for the highest administrative chief within the rebels, Godoy lost.

The person in charge of the election comforted Godoy:
"Now is wartime, and you remain the supreme military commander. Don't worry, everyone is just worried that you'll be overworked."

Very standard polite remarks.

On that day, at that moment, Godoy wanted desperately to kill both the elected and the voters.

Of course, he knew the little thoughts of these voters. They simply felt that the rules he set were too harsh and the methods were too bloody, leaving no room for maneuver.

He endured it all afternoon and then spent a restless night.

By the next day, the winner and those who voted for him were all dead.

It was done by the Fire Ghost, the Plague Ghost, and the Insect Ghost. At that time, they had just undergone the transformation of the ruins and their strength was not very strong.

But most of the people killed were ordinary people, so it was easy for them to succeed.

Then, Godoy was caught in a storm of public opinion, which made him more helpless than facing real swords and guns.

It was true that the apostle killed the man, but the responsibility must fall on his head.

The electors asked him timidly whether he should run for another term or take office directly?

He fell into a long silence, and when he faced those corrupt officials again, he could no longer bring himself to do it.

For the first time, his belief in himself began to waver.

It's not just about the troubles at hand, but also about worrying about the future.

In short, even if he established a republic later, even if he established a system with no loopholes.

But how long can those who implement these systems persist?

If he can guarantee integrity, can his subordinates and his successors also maintain integrity?
If not, then the difference between it and the Luan Empire is just this:
An empire is an empire of a family, while a republic is an empire of a class.

The people who benefit have changed, but the people who suffer are still the same.

He was wondering if his actions made sense, and at this moment, his mentor appeared again.

"Why limit your vision to one region, one country, or one era?" the mentor asked Godoy.

Godoy didn't understand, but the mentor continued to explain it to him.

"Wherever there are people, there will be selfish desires; and power is a sharp weapon that amplifies selfish desires. We cannot change this. But—

"If you look at the entire history of mankind, you will find that momentary selfish desires are nothing.

"What we really face is a thousand-year catastrophe that could lead to the destruction of civilization and the utter annihilation of humanity. "What we need to find is a way to withstand that catastrophe."

After the mentor finished speaking, Godoy fell into deep thought.

After a while, he asked again: "What about these people?"

The instructor raised a finger: "Don't treat them like humans."

Godoy wondered, "Not as an adult?"

The instructor nodded: "Think of them as animals. They are just using everything they can use, survival of the fittest, and creating a better living environment for themselves.

"What you need to do is to control the intensity of 'survival of the fittest' as much as possible."

Godoy was silent again. After a while, he asked what he could do in the face of the "Millennium Catastrophe".

The mentor smiled but said nothing, but Godoy slowly understood.

Pain will give birth to people with abilities.

Then, as long as the pain continues, people with special abilities will continue to be born.

Speaking of pain, where can one feel it more easily than the people of Ruan?
And on this day, Godoy learned the elements and rituals for his promotion to S-rank.

The element is war, and the ritual is fifty years of war.

As long as the war in Lu'an continues for more than 50 years under his influence, the conditions for promotion will be met.

But in today's Lu'an area, is there any need for him to do anything deliberately?

So, from then on, he locked himself in the newly built Sword Tower, quietly waiting for time to pass.

However, his three apostles, after not being summoned by him, continued to carry out the original plan.

He even creatively developed the feat of the colonists carrying stone spiders and supported Mu Tianbang to take power, which triggered conflicts between the republicans and the old aristocracy within the resistance army.

It was just hard for Hong Gui, who had to stay with him in the tower.

Gradually, he became a god in the tower, and indulged himself in thinking of himself as the god called "" in the mythological civilization.

Until Chi Ping came to his door, making him furious:
"Are you disturbing me, mortal?"

Godoy was suspended under the sky, his white robe fluttering in the wind, and his forehead was painted with a painting from the mythological era, a winged hexagram representing divine power.

After all, it is a relic inherited from a mythological civilization. Even if it has not yet been fully promoted to S-level, it can still exert some of the power of S-level.

He can materialize most weapons and armies from mythical civilizations, and controls the element called "war."

Chi Ping looked up at him:
"You are, God?"

Hong Gui, lying on the ground, was pretending to be dead. When he heard Chi Ping's words, he still closed his eyes, but whispered:
"Go on, go on, it's him."

"Hong Gui, you've gone too far this time." Godoy said, "Let me punish you too."

As he spoke, the air around Godoy rippled, and then two huge cannons emerged from it, with their muzzles facing the Sword Tower.

A large group of insectoids had gathered at the foot of the Sword Tower, intending to capture Chi Ping and his group. However, their identities prevented them from entering the tower.

Seeing the god appear, they all knelt down in worship. But the next second, they saw the huge cannon behind the god and fled in all directions.

With two loud bangs, a huge artillery shell rushed out of the barrel and hit the tower.

It was Chi Ping's first time facing heavy firearms, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The moment the gun barrel appeared, he activated rapid fire.

He grabbed Le Bai, and Wei San also grabbed Ling Er with great speed. The two of them stepped on the flying stones and flew in the air, trying to avoid the bombardment of artillery fire.

On the other side, Hong Gui quickly got up from the ground, grabbed the messenger representing sincerity, and ran in another direction.

The moment the cannon missed, Godoy canceled the summons.

After all, he is the god here and needs to kill the invaders at the lowest cost.

Then, there was another wave in the air, and the portal opened again.

Leading the way out were two armies of winged people. The tribe to which the emperor belonged was a tribe that worshipped flying birds.

This army has about two hundred people. The two leading captains have A-level strength, and the two hundred soldiers behind them are all at B-level!
The armor on their bodies had a unique metallic luster, but Chi Ping couldn't tell what kind of metal it was made of. He thought it should have good defensive power.

The winged man had wings on his back and held a spear in his hand. The end of the spear was a sharp blade and a black gun muzzle.

After the winged people, there was another group of lizards carrying heavy artillery.

Judging from their number, they are no less than the Feathered People. I guess these are the ethnic groups conquered by the Emperor, as well as their armies.

This army, which was both primitive and rich in technological elements, made Chi Ping a little confused.

"What the hell is this Wakanda?"

Just as he cursed, the winged men flew towards Chi Ping. Even in mid-air, they maintained their formation, firing as they flew. Chi Ping, with his iron body, was not afraid of their bullets.

But Le Bai was so scared that he screamed.

Meanwhile, Wei San, sprinting nearby, had already been struck twice by bullets in his skeleton armor. The bullets had embedded themselves directly into the armor, cracking the skeleton. If he continued to be hit by a few more bullets, even a top-level stun gun would be in serious trouble.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Chi Ping threw the Le Bai in his hand to Wei San and turned around to face the feathered troops.

【Steel Body】+【High Frequency Vibration】!
Chi Ping jumped high to meet these birdmen.

His first punch hit the leading one, but the force and effect did not burst out at this time. Instead, the leading birdman was knocked away and quickly retreated, hitting the other birdmen.

Immediately afterwards, a group of birdmen were connected, and [high-frequency vibration] was triggered!
The bodies of a large number of birdmen began to collapse, and blood, corpses and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this, the two birdman captains surrounded the remaining birdman soldiers.

At this time, the heavy artillery lizard on the ground also opened fire at Chi Ping on the roof.

Countless artillery shells whizzed in, densely packed with black dots, carrying the smell of gunpowder.

Chi Ping opened his arms and suddenly folded them forward!
A huge stream of water rushed towards the shells, and the shells exploded the moment they came into contact with the water!

Chi Ping continued to thicken the water wall, trying to make it withstand the shockwaves from the exploding shells. However, as soon as the explosion subsided, the original cannon roared again.

This time, even the building beneath Ikehira's feet was swept away by the huge shock wave.

Everything within a radius of 200 meters was reduced to nothing by the massive cannon.

And Chi Ping was nowhere to be seen.

The ground was filled with smoke and there were many insect remains, which were accidentally injured by the aftermath of the explosion.

The insects dared not complain. Those who could escape had already done so, while those who could not could only kneel on the ground and pray to God.

And those who prayed to God were taken away by God's cannon.

Godoy looked at the ruins still emitting black smoke and believed that the invaders had been wiped out.

"We are just mortals after all."

After saying this, he planned to let the winged people and heavy artillery lizards continue to encircle the remaining invaders, while he would retreat.

But at this moment, a man rushed out from a building near Godoy!

He jumped high and threw an uppercut at Godoy in mid-air!

[Body of Steel] + [Speed] + [Heart of Justice] + [High-Frequency Vibration]!
Just as Chi Ping's punch was about to hit Godoy's chin, he saw a steel barrier several meters thick suddenly appear between them!
"War Fortress!"

Godoy activated his ability instantly!
