Chapter 231 The power of gods

The sea area of ​​​​the Seven Water City gradually became turbulent.

The port that was bustling a few days ago has become extremely quiet. No one dares to stay in the Seven Water City when the storm surge comes.

At the same time, the residents of the Seven Water City have begun to take refuge.

They go through this kind of thing every year and seem to be very familiar with it.

But this year is a little different, some residents did not leave.

These residents have one thing in common, that is, they are believers of Akuma Shinrikyo.

Because they believe that God can definitely stop the disaster.

Aspagu found Rowan and Kazuma and said, "If you lie, thousands of people will die. Do you know that?"

"We are all here, don't worry, we will handle it." Luo Wen replied.

Aspago ignored Rowan's promise and continued, "I've sent people to persuade those people to seek refuge. When the water gods truly disappear, any amount of faith will be enough. But none of them are willing to listen. If I want to use coercive measures, they might even fight back."

"I finally understand the horror of religion. If you develop, you will definitely become the gravedigger of the World Government."

Religion also exists in the world of pirates, but it is not very common and has not really developed.

The World Government remains the absolute hegemon.

Aspagu didn't take it too seriously at first.

However, in less than a month, Aku Shinrikyo had so many die-hard believers, which made Aspagu realize the horror of religion.

That is a more sophisticated form of control than the World Government's control by force.

Control based on faith does not make sense.

Hearing this, Luo Wen looked towards the temple in the distance and said, "Mr. Mayor, we were actually surprised too, you know?"

"Accident, what accident?"

"Of course it's the unexpected number of fanatical believers, Mr. Asbaku. In fact, this is not the first time we have established a sect, so we have discovered some patterns, that is, the more desperate the place, the faster the believers gather, and the firmer the believers' faith." Luo Wen said slowly.

Aspagu immediately understood what Rowan meant and said, "Are you saying that the residents of the Seven Waters City are not living well?"

Luo Wen shook his head and said, "Mr. Mayor, the fact that you are loved proves that the Seven Waters City is well governed. However, not all the believers who remain are residents of the Seven Waters City. There are many other places suffering from dire straits."

"But there are also many residents of the Seven Water City." Aspagu was very concerned about what Rowan said.

Only those in despair can easily turn into fanatics. Doesn't this mean that he is not good at his job?
Luo Wen replied, "Those people have lost their loved ones: wives, husbands, parents, children. They harbor immense hatred for the so-called water gods. So, when a sect claims to be able to deal with the water gods, they easily believe it. It's psychological comfort, because what matters is the courage to draw the sword."

"Of course, some of them must have thought we were scamming them, but it didn't matter to them. It was a good opportunity for them to spend time with their loved ones. They didn't dare to do it before, but now it gives them the courage to go all out."

Aspagu completely understood the reason, and after a long while he said, "Sure enough, religion is very difficult."

This time Luo Wen did not refute and said, "Indeed."

Why do gods require faith in many settings?

Because the power of faith is truly terrifying.

"I hope you can succeed."

Aspagu did not seek refuge.

It was not because he was strong enough to protect himself from the storm surge, but because he thought that if Rowan and his team failed, they could rescue more residents.

"Wow—"

The wind and waves on the sea are getting stronger and stronger.

Morgans has left, he won't stay here.

After all, the shelter is not omnipotent, and he doesn't want to gamble.

However, he left behind a Den Den Mushi that could broadcast live, broadcasting the situation in the Seven Water City 24 hours a day.

Looking at the turbulent sea, Morgans was filled with anticipation.

“I hope you can succeed!”

He was promoting Akushino, naturally hoping for success, because that would be the real big news.

In addition, he was extremely interested in the big news that Luo Wen mentioned.

Eventually, the storm surge arrived as expected.

Rowan, Kazuma, and Aqua arrived at the dock.

Aqua's power has begun to take effect. Even though the waves on the sea are several meters high and are getting bigger and bigger, the place where they are standing is still calm.

"Should Aqua take action, or should the divine beast take action?" Rowan asked Kazuma.

"I, I, I, I'll take action. How can I be left out of such a prominent event!" Aqua immediately stood up and volunteered.

She knew very well that she would be appearing in front of many people, so how could she miss the opportunity to expand her followers?

Kazuma didn't stop her, but said, "This time Aqua has to take action, and Reshiram and Kyurem will also have to take action. However, our doctrine says that Kyurem and Reshiram are two sides of the same coin, so we only need to let one of them take action."

"No problem. In that case, let Aqua hold the storm surge and let Kyurem destroy it." Rowan agreed with Kazuma's opinion and made some additions.

"Okay!" Kazuma nodded, then looked at Aqua and began to tell her some things.

Others may not understand Aqua, but she does, and she always fails at critical moments.

This time, Morgans is live streaming, so this kind of thing can't happen.

Aqua was a little impatient, but fortunately Kazuma was still able to control himself.

As time went on, the waves grew bigger and bigger.

Between the sea and the sky, dark clouds are gathering, as if a thick lead curtain is covering the sky, oppressing everything and making it difficult to breathe.

In an instant, the wind howled, rolling up thousands of huge waves. The waves were as towering as mountains, and rows of waves surged like angry beasts, churning and roaring, as if a giant beast from the mountains and seas had descended.

There were lightning and thunder in the sky, the thunder was deafening, and the lightning lashed the sea like a whip, and the light and shadow intertwined to create a chaos.

All this changed in just a few breaths.

The storm surge came too fast and too suddenly!
Kazuma said, "No wonder the residents of the Seven Water Cities call this storm surge the Water Gods. It really does feel like the power of the gods descending."

"Only gods would be so bored as to do such things." Aqua, as a serious god, immediately retorted.

As a god, she would not torment her believers.

She often bestows blessings!
Both of them ignored Aqua, who had some IQ issues, and waited for the storm surge to reach its limit.

After all, the two of them had a purpose.

If the problem is solved before the storm surge reaches its peak, there will definitely be people who think that the storm surge just didn't arrive.

At the same time, many people around the world were watching the scenes of Water Seven through Morgans' live broadcast.

"Is this the storm surge? It's just beginning. Even through the Den Den Mushi, I can feel the pressure."

"Under this kind of power, no one can change the outcome, right?"

"This is the sea. When it is truly angry, no force can resist it."

Naval Headquarters, Marinevandor.

Akainu is also very concerned about the Water Seven City incident.

He wanted to see how powerful this restless force was.

At the same time, let’s also see how terrible the so-called storm surge is.

"Hmph, I hope I can show some real skills."

No matter what outsiders think, the storm surge is still brewing.

The storm has covered the entire Seven Waters City.

The trees on the island swayed in the storm, but they also looked fragile and weak, as if they would be uprooted at any moment.

Countless raindrops, like bullets, pelted the land mercilessly. Everything lost its color, leaving only the whistling wind and the roaring rain. The houses of the Seven Waters City trembled in the storm, as if they would be destroyed at any moment by this invisible hand.

The waves hit the breakwater on the shore again and again, making a dull and powerful sound. The sea water splashed in the collision, turning into countless tiny water droplets and drifting away with the wind.

The sea water has surged up, trying to swallow up the entire Seven Water City, just as it has always done.

In the face of this natural force, any building seems so small, like a toy that will break at the slightest touch.

Those who were watching the live broadcast via Den Den Mushi all had solemn expressions.

Many of them had heard of the power of storm surges, but they had never imagined it to be so terrifying.

Even if one possesses a devil fruit, it seems that one has no ability to resist this kind of power.

The residents of the Seven Water City in the shelter were all praying in their hearts, hoping that they could survive this disaster smoothly, but when they heard the strong wind outside, they had no confidence in their hearts.

Only one place seemed peaceful.

The temple of Akuma Shinrikyo.

A large number of believers gather here.

When the storm surge arrived, they all came here to pray for God's protection.

The gods responded to their request.

A blue light flashed across, covering the Akushimi Temple and a large area near the temple.

There were no strong winds or heavy rains around here, it was as calm as before a storm surge.

All the believers knelt on the ground and kept thanking the gods.

This is God protecting them!
"The Water Gods are not gods, they are a disaster. The true gods have arrived, and they must be destroyed."

"The power of the false god is no match for the true god!"

"God, please put an end to this disaster that has lasted for countless years!"

For a moment, all living beings appeared in a myriad of forms.

Some people even knelt down and cried bitterly.

They all had loved ones who died in the storm surge.

The evacuation measures up to the Seven Water City were still very effective, and the number of deaths each time was not large.

No one cares about the death of some people except those close to them.

Now there is finally hope of ending all this.

Aspagu is also here.

He was so shocked at this moment!

Despite the violent storm outside, this place was not affected at all.

Is this the power of God?
He looked into the distance, where Luo Wen and the other two were, and said, "Maybe it really is the end!"

At this time, the huge waves had reached hundreds of meters in height, and the subsequent waves were even more terrifying.

Seeing this, Luo Wen said, "Alright, let's end this!"

The sea surface has risen, and the huge waves seem to be able to destroy everything. It’s over!
Kazuma nodded and said to Aqua, "Let's begin, condense the phantom of the god!"

In the world of pirates, the power of the god Aqua has been unlocked a lot, and she can do many things.

A blue light emerged from Aqua's body, and then a mysterious and beautiful figure appeared on the sea. This figure was wearing a blue robe and a feathered robe, and looked extremely holy. Just one look at it could purify people's hearts, but when people wanted to see the true face clearly, they couldn't see it no matter what.

As a god, Aqua knows how to remain mysterious.

At the temple, believers saw this figure and shouted, "This is the Water Goddess. The Water Goddess has brought her power!"

For a moment, a large number of believers knelt down and prayed without stopping.

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, the Water Goddess stared ahead, her eyes shining with divine light and supreme majesty.

With a wave of his hand, a scepter emitting a mysterious light appeared. Then the scepter moved, and a brilliant light streaked across the sky. In an instant, the storm surge that was like a giant beast stopped moving.

The rolling waves on the sea seemed to be held by a pair of invisible hands, and the powerful force suppressed them in place, as if the pause button had been pressed.

This scene was broadcast live over the phone.

All the strong men who saw it had solemn expressions.

The natural disaster was stopped in an instant, and this power was far beyond expectations.

Is it possible that gods really exist?

At this time, many people had the same idea in their minds.

But it's not over yet.

"Kyurem!"

As Rowan called out Kyurem's name.

Kyurem's figure flashed over, and then his entire body became extremely huge, appearing beside the water goddess.

The believers chanted again.

"The legendary dragon has also arrived!"

"This is one of the true forms of the legendary dragon!"

"God Kyurem!"

The believers shouted, their voices seeming to rise above the raging storm.

The rewards from the two gods pushed the believers' faith to its peak in an instant.

Kyurem actually felt that his power had become stronger.

But He did not forget the important matter.

The cold air from his body spread, freezing the entire sea surface in an instant.

The already stagnant waves were naturally no exception.

"Roar!"

A terrifying dragon roar was heard, and the entire sea surface began to tremble.

"Click! Click! Click!"

The huge waves frozen by the cold shattered instantly.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ice fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Looking at the frozen sea, Rowan thought for a moment and contacted Reshiram.

Then, two rays of light appeared from the temple, one rushed into the sky, and the other covered the sea.

The light that came into the sky dispelled the dark clouds, and the sun shone down again, covering the entire Seven Water City.

The light that enveloped the sea melted all the ice, and the sea surface returned to its original state.

Everything is back to calm!

The Seven Waters City was extremely quiet, as if the storm surge had never come.

Aspagu felt the warm sunlight and murmured to himself, "It's over, it's really over? That's great!"

Regardless of whether Akushhinrikyo has a real god or not, from this moment on, there is a god.

The storm surge that had troubled them for who knows how long was surprisingly easily resolved.

Is this the power of God?
At the same time, countless people watching the live broadcast were shocked and silent at first, and then suddenly realized that the pattern of the sea seemed to have changed again!
