Upon seeing this, the four ruling angels' eyelids twitched. The power displayed by the giant fallen angel puppet had exceeded their expectations and was far more powerful than they had imagined.
The four ruling angels were somewhat relieved that the two sides hadn't directly broken off relations. If they had, Heaven would have faced a catastrophe, and most of the lower-ranking angels wouldn't have been able to escape it. The current situation was even more dangerous than the war that led to the split of Heaven, but they couldn't gain any initiative, which made them very uncomfortable.
The net of light gradually closed in. Because the giant fallen angel puppet had memories related to the wish-granting machine, the retrieval of the wish-granting machine went quite smoothly. After severing the connection between the wish-granting machine and Heaven, the size of the wish-granting machine began to shrink continuously, eventually becoming the size of an ordinary human body, which Linde held in his hand.
Linde said, "We have achieved our goal and completed our mission, so we'll take our leave now."
Michael sighed inwardly. Reality was so surreal. The other side had come to rob them, but they couldn't fight back and even had to politely send them away. It was utterly ironic.
After exchanging greetings, the giant fallen angel puppet left Heaven.
The area where the wishing machine was originally located is now quite empty because the machine was moved. A large number of underground pipes were pulled out, leaving a huge sinkhole in the original location.
Uriel said unwillingly, "If Heaven hadn't split apart, things wouldn't be like this now!"
Although Uriel was very unwilling, she did not blame Michael for making this decision, because she knew that some things could not be changed by faith alone, and she was not the kind of person who did not understand reason.
Michael sighed and said, "It was my dereliction of duty that I failed to protect the wishing machine this time. After the aftermath of this incident is dealt with, I will resign from my position in the Heavenly Seat. Uriel, I'm entrusting the rest to you."
Michael's decision surprised the three of them. Michael had worked diligently for years, restoring Heaven from its dilapidated state to its current size; his contributions were immense. Moreover, Michael was the most suitable among the four to be their leader, as the other three ruling angels all had personality flaws, something they themselves were aware of.
Gabriel's personality is too soft; although his combat strength is reliable, he tends to hesitate when making important decisions. Uriel is decisive and resolute, but prone to impulsiveness and extremes in making important decisions. Raphael, on the other hand, is a lazy bum who doesn't like to get involved in things and is arguably the least noticeable of the four ruling angels.
··· ·Requesting flowers···· ··
Gabriel said, "The failure to defend the wishing machine wasn't Michael's fault; anyone in his position would have failed. Besides, reducing casualties to this acceptable level is already the best outcome. Furthermore, none of us are suited to be the leader, and there's no reliable person below us to support the overall situation. You can't back down now."
Uriel and Raphael nodded in agreement. Heaven wasn't lacking in high-end combat power, but it desperately needed a capable administrator to run the Heavens smoothly. If Michael stepped down, Heaven wouldn't be able to find a suitable successor.
.. .....
Seeing his companion's reaction, Michael could only smile wryly. He wasn't power-hungry, and even becoming a ruling angel was something he was forced into, not something he wanted to do himself.
However, Heaven currently lacks a suitable leader, and he can't even resign, which is a tragedy in itself. Michael has considered grooming a successor over the years; he's long wanted to retire, but there simply isn't a suitable person. Strictly speaking, angels are generally quite laid-back, and Raphael's personality perfectly exemplifies this. For many angels, being a leader is a thankless task.
Therefore, the entire Heaven was filled with an atmosphere of slacking off and taking it easy, and the angels had all seen how overwhelmed Michael was on weekdays, so naturally they were even less willing to be the manager.
As artificial deities, angels are inherently a collection of positive emotions. Therefore, angels do not pursue power or wealth, but rather prefer to pursue inner peace and moral perfection.
It is precisely because of this positive mindset that angels, unlike fallen angels and demons, are not attached to power and authority.
Michael sighs frequently now because the current situation is truly dire for Heaven. After all, unlike other pantheons, Heaven cannot move its own entrance coordinates, making it extremely passive in such matters.
Chapter 4. The True Face of the Wishing Machine
After obtaining the wish-granting machine, the giant fallen angel puppets did not linger outside but used teleportation to return directly to the headquarters of the evil European clone.
After receiving the wish-granting machines from the other puppet clones, the evil version of Levi immediately began the work of deciphering them. As a failed creation of a god's child, the wish-granting machine had essentially undergone its first refinement, becoming a wondrous object like the Dragon Balls from "Dragon Ball," capable of granting the wishes of those who made them.
This kind of prop, which can distort reality and interfere with cause and effect, is of a very high status. Li Wei himself speculated that its status should be even higher than the Soul-Sweeping Bell he had obtained before.
Because the evil version of Levi had the material and memories sent by the original body, the reverse deciphering work went very smoothly. In less than a day, the evil version of Levi had figured out exactly where the wish-granting machine was malfunctioning, and had also separated Levi's life box from inside the wish-granting machine.
The evil version of Li Wei looked at the object in his hand, wanting to complain. This so-called Fate Box looked like a piece made of crystal, hidden among the components of the wishing machine itself. It was inconspicuous, and it was precisely because of this interference that the wishing machine would explode when used.
The evil version of Levi has already tried the power of the wish-granting machine. Wishes can indeed be granted, but it requires a certain amount of energy. Whatever that energy may be, you need to have some.
The Wishing Machine is a failed creation of a divine child, so it is capable of generating its own energy, and its energy capacity is quite large. If the energy were quantified, the Wishing Machine's "full charge" would even exceed that of Li Wei's original body.
One can imagine how incredibly powerful the giant that created the solar system must have been. If Li Wei had encountered that giant, he might have been pulverized into a pancake, just like those evil gods.
After the interference was removed, the wishing machine returned to normal. However, due to his limited power, the evil version of Levi was unable to compress the wishing machine. So, Levi himself went to retrieve the wishing machine from his clone's hand.
After finally getting his hands on the wishing machine, Li Wei was finally relieved. This was his greatest gain in this world, and he could only feel at ease when he truly had it in his own hands.
Li Wei left a puppet clone in the attic, then secretly left Earth for Mars to test the wish-granting machine's abilities. Although the evil clone had already conducted the first test, for safety's sake, he dared not let the evil Li Wei conduct any deeper tests.
After all, the power of the wish-granting machine is undeniable. If anything goes wrong, the entire Earth could be blown to pieces. The power of the wish-granting machine is even stronger than that of the Infinite Dragon God and the Great Red. Such an accident must be guarded against.
On the desolate Martian surface, Li Wei moved forward at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll in his own backyard.
Not far along, Li Wei spotted a four-wheeled vehicle with a somewhat comical design.
"A Mars rover?" Li Wei smiled as he looked at the Chinese flag on the mechanical vehicle.
In this world, within the human body, the United States holds an absolute advantage. For things like exploring Mars, aside from the dead Russia, only the United States can still accomplish such a feat.
However, to the gods of this world, all of humanity's efforts are nothing more than a clumsy performance, merely material for amusement. Landing on an alien planet is as simple as eating and drinking for the gods. Even transforming barren Mars into a habitable blue or green planet would only cost a little. But for humanity, these things are not so easy to accomplish.
Because of the angle, Levi was not exposed in the Mars rover's camera feed. Moreover, due to signal delays, even if Levi appeared in front of the rover, the ground command center on Earth would have to wait several minutes to receive the image.
Li Wei snapped his fingers, and all the tires of the Mars rover were removed. The rover, with its tires removed, looked like a crab with all its legs torn off. Crabs can grow back their legs, but the rover doesn't have that ability. Look at our big toy, it's basically scrapped.
After completing the prank, Li Wei found a direction out of sight of the rover and teleported forward about ten kilometers... Li Wei released his senses without reservation, covering most of Mars within his perception range. His senses could easily penetrate solid objects, so even underground environments could not escape his perception.
Li Wei retrieved the wish-granting machine from his sea of consciousness. The steampunk-style machine gave Li Wei an inexplicable sense of incongruity. Disliking it, he activated his magic power, and the external components of the machine melted away like ice and snow. After a while, the core of the machine was exposed. A pure white humanoid object with a human-like body structure, but without organs or reproductive organs, and without any holes, fingernails, or head, lay on the surface of Mars.
The thing in front of him reminded Li Wei of Lilith from the anime "EVA," except that this thing's size was very flexible. When it was huge, it was like a mountain, and when it shrank, it was about the size of an ordinary person.
Although this strange thing didn't look good and even gave people a weird feeling, Li Wei could feel the enormous power inside this "corpse". After Heaven could no longer use the wish machine, it did not leave it idle. Instead, it added a set of energy-conducting components to the outside and used it as a motor.
This usage reminded Li Wei of the operation in "Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" where the Barbatos Gundam was used as a generator at the Tekkadan base. However, the power of this nameless god's son was much more powerful than the Barbatos Gundam.
"Good heavens, the energy reaction within my body is so exaggerated. If this thing were alive, I really wouldn't dare to cause trouble in this world." Li Wei placed his hand on the chest of the humanoid object, allowing his magic power to permeate it. He then felt the power of this nameless son of god—vast and awe-inspiring, carrying an unknown pressure. At the same time, he also felt the resentment of this nameless son of god. This resentment was left behind from the failed birth of the nameless son of god. If he didn't completely eliminate the influence of such negative emotions, Li Wei would more or less be affected by these negative emotions after using this thing too many times.
Chapter 4. Plans can't keep up with changes.
The Nameless God's Son had already been refined several times. It has to be said that the God of the Bible in this world was quite skilled. If the other party hadn't already perished, Li Wei would have wanted to exchange ideas on weapon refining with him. Because the power of this Nameless God's Son had been well unlocked. Even Li Wei couldn't make such a wish-granting machine without external reference.
Once Li Wei can understand the secrets of this nameless son of the god's body, he will be able to master this power of wish-granting, making his words law and changing the world with his words.
However, such an ability is not so easy to master. Li Wei was mentally prepared for a long struggle, and he wouldn't be upset if he couldn't master it in a short time.
With a thought, a can of Coca-Cola appeared in front of Li Wei. It was his favorite Coca-Cola, and it was sugar-free.
Li Wei picked up the Coca-Cola, and in his other free hand appeared a can of sugar-free Coca-Cola. The two cans were indistinguishable in appearance. However, one can was obtained by Li Wei through a wish, while the other can was a creation of "Void Creation" which Li Wei himself possessed.
"If we compare the energy that the Nameless God's Son spent to produce a can of Coke with the mana I spent to make a can of Coke myself, the ratio is roughly: I spent more energy to make a can of Coke myself," Li Wei muttered to himself softly.
Looking at the nameless corpse of the Son of God lying on the ground, Li Wei made his wish once more, and a somewhat ugly wooden staff fell in front of him.
Li Wei picked up the wooden staff, and the bottom of the staff slammed on the ground. Instantly, a large amount of green spread outward from the ground where the bottom of the staff touched. On the desolate Mars, green representing life appeared. The green continued to spread outward, and lush low shrubs grew. In a short while, a grassland had appeared.
Li Wei felt the energy that had been drained from the wooden staff slowly returning, and he sighed inwardly, thinking that the Nameless God's Son was indeed quite powerful as a wish-granting machine.
If this wooden staff were to be crafted using the refining method, it would take a considerable amount of time. Furthermore, Li Wei couldn't guarantee that the finished product would meet his expectations. However, by using the wishing machine, Li Wei skipped the refining process and obtained the final product. This cheating was simply unbeatable.
Moreover, Li Wei could sense that compared to the immense power of the Nameless God's Son, the power consumed in creating this wondrous wooden staff was but a drop in the ocean compared to his own body, and the consumed power was completely restored in just a few seconds.
Seeing this, Li Wei was shocked. No wonder that before the wishing machine malfunctioned, the power of Heaven was unmatched by any other pantheon.
Li Weibei tested the limits of the wishing machine and said, "Make me stronger, with all your power."
The nameless son of the god had lost his self-awareness, but he responded quickly to Li Wei. At the same time, Li Wei felt pain in his body, and a huge amount of power kept surging into his body, merging with the original energy within his body. His cultivation level was like having a cheat code activated, rapidly increasing.
Li Wei felt extremely hot, as if his body had been thrown into the sun. The extreme heat made it almost impossible for him to maintain his rationality, and he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Ten seconds passed, and Li Wei's cultivation level doubled. If he had relied on proper fellow cultivators, it would have taken him a considerable amount of time to acquire such power.
Knowing that the corpse of the nameless son of the god lying on the ground was in a state of "exhaustion," and that due to excessive consumption, it would take a considerable amount of time to "nourish" it before it could regain its ability to make wishes.
"I almost broke the wishing machine, that was close." Li Wei was a little scared. The wishing machine also has its limits. His actions of pushing the wishing machine to its limits were quite dangerous.
Li Wei put away the wishing machine. After this special wish, the wishing machine could not be used for a short period of time. However, thanks to this wish, Li Wei's cultivation level increased dramatically. Now, he can start preparing to fight the final bosses of this world.
They say plans can't keep up with changes, and now, due to his sudden surge in power, the original plan has to be adjusted to reflect the current situation. First, the time is ripe to harvest the gods; he'll systematically eliminate each pantheon, turning them into resources for his cultivation and accelerating his progress. Then, he'll begin the hunt for the Infinite Dragon God and the Great Red.
Li Wei himself is a huge variable. Because of his intervention, the adorable loli dragon god clone that would have appeared in the original plot will no longer appear. After all, even Li Zevim has now become his prisoner. Li Zevim has no way to plot against the Infinite Dragon God who has been driven out of his "homeland". Therefore, the loli dragon god will naturally not appear. The Infinite Dragon God will remain in its perfect, complete form, with its strength unaffected.
However, for him now, it doesn't matter whether the power of the Infinite Dragon God and the Great Red is intact.
After confirming the benefits of the Wishing Machine, Li Wei returned to Earth. He somewhat regretted not having the Wishing Machine allocate some of its power to strengthen the Soul-Sweeping Bell. If the Soul-Sweeping Bell had been strengthened, its digestive ability would have been amplified, allowing it to digest and absorb the gods within more quickly. This would have enabled him to advance his plans further. However, for now, Li Wei was prepared to first cause trouble for the Infinite Dragon God.
The Infinite Dragon God is very easy to find. After being driven out of his home by the Great Red, the Infinite Dragon God stayed on the moon. He would go out and about when he had nothing to do, and return to the moon when he felt tired.
Unlike the Great Red, which hides in another dimension, Li Wei sensed the Infinite Dragon God on the moon using his own perception. After all, the Infinite Dragon God's enormous energy reaction was as conspicuous as a lighthouse in the night.
However, to protect his public image, Li Wei does not intend to attack the Infinite Dragon God with his true form. Instead, he plans to enhance the power of his evil clone and then use it to hunt the Infinite Dragon God.
Li Wei was incredibly efficient; after packing his things, he returned to Earth and then headed to Europe. Upon arriving in Europe, Li Wei began a new round of modifications to his evil clone. After all, the operation against the Infinite Dragon God had to be carried out by this clone, so the stronger the clone was, the better.
Li Wei had originally considered strengthening the Soul-Sweeping Bell first, but after thinking about it, he realized that prioritizing the capture of a few final targets was the most advantageous option for him.
Chapter 4. The Confident Li Zevheim
After completing the modification of his clone, Li Wei returned to Japan. No one noticed his departure. Due to his improved cultivation, the quality of the puppet clones Li Wei created became better and better. Those weaker than him could not see the difference between the puppet and the original body.
During the time that Li Wei used his puppet clone to oversee things in Japan, a lot of things happened. First, Heaven sent a pledge of allegiance, seeking his protection.
Li Wei would naturally not refuse such a request, after all, he still had to maintain his public image. On the surface, he was a kind and generous person, and he would not refuse the request for help from Paradise, who was in dire straits.
Besides the fact that Heaven had offered its pledge of allegiance, Li Wei's puppet clone in Japan also attended two banquets. There is social interaction among the pantheons, and since Japan is now officially Li Wei's territory, the organizers of every respectable large gathering would invite him as the most honored guest of the entire banquet.
........................
Trapped within the barrier, Li Zevim remained as patient as ever. He had grown accustomed to long periods of solitude, and aside from the lack of personal freedom, being trapped within the barrier posed no significant problem for him.
Li Zevim remained in a meditative state, treating the barrier that confined him as a defense to protect him during his seclusion. He firmly believed that as long as the evil version of Li Wei did not intend to kill him, the barrier that confined him was very safe and could even protect him from the harassment of those dark monsters, allowing him to cultivate in peace.
A series of clear footsteps echoed from the darkness. With his keen senses, Li Zevin instantly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. He knew that familiar footsteps belonged to the evil version of Li Wei. Li Zevin felt a surge of excitement; his "sentence" was finally over.
In the dim light, the figure of the evil version of Levi gradually emerged, but Li Zevim felt uneasy. The evil version of Levi's complex expression was half mocking and half pitiful, as if he were looking at a lab rat. He had also had such an expression before, and it was precisely because of this that Li Zevim felt uneasy.
"Your Majesty, is my confinement over?" Li Zevim asked tentatively.
The evil version of Li Wei laughed, "That's right, it's over."
Hearing this, Li Zevim breathed a sigh of relief, but just as he relaxed, a sentence from the evil version of Li Wei made his heart jump into his throat.
