MBI's track record is truly terrifying. This giant corporation truly possesses national-level strength. Ten years ago, several major Western powers gathered their allies, and their entire fleet, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, sailed in a mighty force to Shenzuo Island. It was a behemoth that could be called a fleet capable of destroying a nation. However, when they tried to conquer the small Shenzuo Island, they suffered a tragic total annihilation, and they didn't even know how they lost.

Ten years ago, MBI already possessed such terrifying strength. After ten years of development, no one dares to bet on how strong MBI has become.

Mizai: (I never expected that the other party had such a plan. I understand now, I understand everything now. Where did that malicious force come from? It was all for this moment.)

Uranium Girl: (What should we do? Mihiroto isn't an ordinary person anymore, is he?)

Li Wei: (No rush. Although Mihiro has caused quite a stir this time, the impact on ordinary people is limited. Goodness, I will investigate. Your responsibility is to take care of the others. Mihiro will definitely find an opportunity to establish his authority. There's no need to provoke him at this time.)

Jie approached Li Wei, somewhat worried, and said, "Li Wei, what should we do next? Is the competition over like this?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "From the beginning, the outcome of this match was not important to Mihiro. He has already achieved his goal. I am very familiar with this method, and I know how to handle it. As for the match, we will just forfeit. At this point, the divine artifacts are no longer important. The danger that the divine artifacts might pose is not as great as Mihiro himself."

This was the result Li Wei wanted, because he knew who Yu Guangren would target next, and besides Da Piao Liang, there was no one else.

After all, the Battle of God's Throne Island was fought by Big Beauty, who led his cousin John Bull and a bunch of underlings from all over the world to God's Throne Island to show off their power and even landed troops on the island.

This was tantamount to direct mockery, and Hiroto was a person with extremely high self-esteem and a particularly vengeful nature. Being mocked like this would stay with him for life.

Moreover, Da Piao Liang doesn't know how to do things properly. After the defeat in the battle of Shenzuo Island, anyone with a brain would have chosen to repair the relationship between the two sides and try to avoid the situation from deteriorating.

But it's unclear who came up with the idea, since direct combat wouldn't achieve their goal, they decided to use theft. So they dispatched a special force to infiltrate Kamikoshi Island and kidnapped two young wagtails that were adjusting, even burning their wagtail fins.

Hiroto wasn't the kind of person who cared about the life or death of the Sekirei, but to him at that time, each Sekirei was an important experimental subject, a crucial tool for the success or failure of his plan. This was a hatred far more severe than cutting off someone's livelihood. It's said that cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents, so cutting off his path to godhood was practically an mortal enemy.

Da Piao Liang repeatedly crossed Yu Guangren's psychological bottom line, which directly angered him, and as a result, the hatred has continued to this day.

After gaining power beyond that of humans, Mihiro wanted to establish his authority, and the first whetstone he thought of was the Great Beauty who had almost broken the foundation for his godhood back then.

Yu Guangren planned to deal with Da Piao Liang after he finished dealing with Da Piao Liang, and then turn around and deal with Li Wei.

Li Wei has no intention of interfering with the various things that Da Piao Liang will encounter next. After all, Da Piao Liang is considered a cancer on humanity. He has hardly done any good deeds, but he is always involved in all sorts of messy things. So, when Yu Guangren takes this opportunity to deal with Da Piao Liang, Li Wei will not only not interfere, but he will also bring out his little stool and melon seeds to watch the show.

Li Wei projected his divine sense, and his voice rang in the minds of all the participants in the competition.

"Can you hear me? I am Li Wei, the one you call the Great Demon King of the North. There's been an unexpected turn of events in the competition, and I'm withdrawing. This competition was a conspiracy from the start. Mihiro was using you. You're still in danger, but I think with your strength, escaping from here should be quite easy. After you escape, find a safe place to hide with your Sekirei. The whole world is about to descend into chaos. If you don't want to get involved, you'd better stay hidden!"

Li Wei's words left all the reed shoots who heard them speechless.

"I know you won't believe me, but some things are better believed than not. If you only believe what you see, then break out of the competition area and go outside, and you'll see what's going on."

Li Wei sat on the wooden dragon's nose and said to the grass, "Let the wooden dragon climb higher and grow bigger, and send a message to all the reeds that are still competing. Whether they believe it or not is none of our business."

Having done this much, Li Wei felt he had done everything he could. It was rare for a pure villain like him to do such a good deed.

Xiao Cao nodded and smiled, "Leave it to me! I guarantee that everyone in the entire stadium will see us."

The wooden dragon that Xiaocao is currently controlling is far from reaching the limit of her abilities. She can enlarge the wooden dragon's size by hundreds of times, making it a behemoth even in the Ultraman universe. Such a size would be quite conspicuous.

The little grass raised its right hand and slammed it hard on the head of the wooden dragon at its feet. A dazzling, vibrant emerald green light began to shine, radiating waves of life. Enveloped in this green light, the wooden dragon, like a giant python shedding its skin, began to shed its wooden armor plates in large quantities. At the same time, its body began to expand rapidly, becoming even larger and more majestic.

In just a few dozen seconds, the wooden dragon, which was originally only about 30 meters long, had grown to more than 300 meters in length. The enormous creature roamed the air and could be seen even from a great distance.

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded through the sky, and the enormous wooden dragon stirred up the wind and clouds as it headed towards the distant city.

Now, all the reeds still stuck on the field began to think about what Li Wei had just said. The phrase "better to believe it than not to believe it" made them all waver.

Before long, one by one, the Reed Sprouts and their fellow wagtails began to make their choices. With Li Wei leading the way, many chose to follow him and leave. The brutal competition had already left many Reed Sprouts weary, and Li Wei's departure completely snapped their resolve. Like an avalanche, once one person chose to leave, the others followed suit. Apart from a very few who refused to believe in fate, most of the participating teams used various methods to destroy the drones in the sky, or even to overthrow the referees and security personnel, violently withdrawing from the competition.

Chapter 4. Returning to Izumo Manor

The giant wooden dragon vanished without a trace after leaving the edge of the arena. Li Wei pulled out a blanket in mid-air, and after the wooden dragon disappeared, the four of them landed on the blanket below.

Li Wei calmly said, "Now we need to rush back to Chuyun Manor and prepare our defenses. I'm not worried about the strength of the Yu Guangren. Even if the Yu Guangren have become beings beyond human comprehension, they are still just so-so to me, still within my capabilities. However, I don't want to see you get hurt. The Yu Guangren of today are beyond your ability to handle."

Jie asked curiously, "The president is just an ordinary human being, how could he become so strong in such a short time? He must have paid some price."

Li Wei said, "The price was indeed paid, but with his methods, he didn't need to pay it himself."

Jie said, "That's too cunning. Making others pay the price while ultimately benefiting yourself."

Li Wei said, "There are too many things like this. As long as you have power and wealth, it's very easy to do such things. However, Yu Guangren's methods this time are relatively more sophisticated. Even I was tricked by him. But he has crossed the line and abandoned his dignity as a human being. I will not show mercy to beings that are not human."

Although Li Wei is a thoroughly evil person, he still has to maintain a virtuous image in front of the girls around him. A truly evil person, once their evil reaches a certain level, is difficult for ordinary people to perceive their wickedness.

Because Li Wei delegated all the dirty work to his puppet clones, he could have as many puppet clones as he wanted. These puppets were consumables meant for doing dirty work, so he could maintain his pure and innocent persona and achieve his goals without getting his hands dirty.

Jie showed a sigh and said, "I used to think the president was a pretty good person, but after watching the video Matsu shared on the channel, he's a completely different person from the president I remember."

Li Wei said, "People change, and time changes many things. After all, I have seen righteous partners who wanted to live longer in order to carry out justice and protect the weak, but they forgot their original intentions and eventually became cold-blooded monsters who pursued longevity."

Li Wei thought of Zouken Matou, the Mushi Master. When Zouken was young, he was like a certain great hero, pursuing justice and protection. However, with each physical rebirth, he forgot his original intention. People are too easily changed. Whether it is the environment or time, they can make a person unrecognizable.

However, Li Wei, who had read Mihiro's inner thoughts, knew very well that the other party's goal from the beginning was to become a god who was above all living beings. The other party was the one who did not forget his original intention and was a commendable and capable ambitious person.

After all, these days, various new anime series tend to whitewash villains, and purely evil characters like the Tombmaster are becoming increasingly rare. After seeing too many of these anti-whitewashing stories, Li Wei has also become aesthetically fatigued. Therefore, he finds it commendable that ambitious people like Mihiro can persist in their pursuit of their ambitions for a long time. After all, an ambitious person should act like an ambitious person.

The carpet entered stealth mode, allowing the pedestrians to return to Izumo Manor unnoticed. The carpet landed in the courtyard, where the girls who had stayed behind were already waiting.

When Meizai saw Li Wei return, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Li Wei, you're finally back. When you were away, the family lost its backbone, and when important matters arose, there was no one to make decisions."

Meizai had gotten used to Li Wei's presence. When Li Wei was around, she didn't need to think about those complicated things. She would do whatever Li Wei said, and even if there were any problems, Li Wei could handle them.

When Li Wei wasn't home, she felt that her younger sisters became more difficult to manage. Although she could still keep them in line, it wasn't as easy as when Li Wei was around.

Li Wei jumped off the blanket, embraced Mei Zai, and gave her a warm and longing hug.

Li Wei rested his chin on Miya's shoulder and said gently, "Thank you for keeping an eye on things at home these past few days. Now that I'm back, everything will be alright. Next, I need to deal with the problem of the poison sacs below the hearts of the wagtails. Only after this is resolved can I take action against Mihiro without any qualms."

Seeing Miya being embraced by Li Wei, the girls felt a little envious, but they also knew how hard Miya had worked during this time, so it was just envy.

Li Wei gently kissed Miya's cheek, then released her and said, "Matsu, you're quite skilled in hacking, so I think you should be able to contact the other Ash Buds. Next, I need to perform surgery on all the Sekirei. But plans can't keep up with changes, so I have to resolve this hidden danger as soon as possible. Once Mihiro is free, he will definitely deal with the Sekirei."

Matsu said with a somewhat tense expression, "Even now, I still don't quite understand what happened, why Mihiroto has become like this, proclaiming himself a god."

Li Wei said with a serious expression, "According to normal people's knowledge, Mihiroto has now become a god. I was also tricked. He attracted the world's attention by exposing the existence of the Sekirei and using the Sekirei competition, thereby making ordinary people have emotions related to the Sekirei. Then, he forcibly ignited the divine fire by taking these emotions as faith and became a god of faith."

Li Wei's words shocked the girls around him.

Li Wei continued, "This technique must have come from the Sekirei, since the Sekirei needs to combine with the reed shoots to unleash its true power. This emotion is love. In essence, the Sekirei are indeed goddesses, just as Mihiroto said. When the ultimate positive emotion is amplified, the Sekirei can do all sorts of incredible things, things that seem like miracles to ordinary people."

Emotional power, whether positive or negative, possesses immense strength that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine. In particular, the wagtail itself can ignite extreme positive emotions, and with its own emotions, it can provide the same emotional energy as hundreds or even millions of ordinary people.

When wagtails travel through the stars, they may be using emotions as energy, which can be considered a kind of pseudo-perpetual motion machine. As long as they can maintain positive emotions for a long time, they will have a continuous output of energy. Earthlings, who are still using fossil energy, will have to struggle for many years to close this technological gap.

Li Wei could imagine that the wagtails' homeworld race was definitely an advanced civilization with technology that was almost godlike.

Chapter 4. Be a Good Person When You're in a Good Mood

Matsu asked, "Will Mihiro really carry out a major purge of the Sekirei? Why would he do that?"

Li Wei said, "Because the Sekirei will be competing with him for faith in the future, he may have originally planned to use the Sekirei as a tool, but when this situation arises, he will have to make a choice. Should he let his faith be divided up, or eliminate the person who shares his faith? Because when Mihiroto was promoting the idea that the Sekirei was a goddess, even if only some people believed it, it would still provide the Sekirei with considerable faith power."

Song showed a surprised expression and said, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect you, Li Weijun, to know this kind of knowledge."

Li Wei said, "I've just been to more places than the average person and seen a little more local customs and traditions. I've dealt with beings who have become gods through faith before, so I know what such beings fear most."

Uranium Woman said, "What an existence who has become a god through faith fears most is others stealing his faith?"

Li Wei nodded and said, "That's pretty much it. A being who has become a god through faith generally only allows his followers to worship him personally. It's a typical theocracy. It doesn't allow any other being to share in his faith. This is because it would weaken the being who has become a god through faith, or even cause his authority to be divided among others."

Li Wei led the girls to the hot spring area behind the courtyard. After changing into yukatas, they found a hot spring pool and sat down. The girls sat down next to Li Wei without any hesitation. In an instant, the sight of the beautiful girls, some plump and some slender, gave Li Wei the illusion that he had returned to the floating island.

Li Wei continued, "Being a god through faith is essentially a game of strategy with other beings of the same type. The Sekirei possess the ability to use positive emotions like love, giving them a much higher starting point than the Mihiroto, and their status is naturally the same. Therefore, if there is a large amount of faith to be divided, the Sekirei only need to use their wits a little to get the biggest slice of the pie. Do you think the Mihiroto can tolerate that?"

The girls all shook their heads. From Hiroto's perspective, anyone with a sound mind would know what to choose. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before Hiroto took action against the Sekirei.

Li Wei said, "Yu Guangren is still a complete novice on the path of how to be a god, which is why he made such a mistake. If he were an old bird who had once ignited the divine fire and was about to ascend the throne again after waking from his slumber, he would have killed all the tools before igniting the divine fire to prevent his own faith from being divided."

When Li Wei was in the world of High School DxD, he had a good understanding of the system of becoming a god through faith. Becoming a god through faith can be said to be the fastest way to master extraordinary power. It does not require bloodline or cultivation. As long as you have enough believers, even a pig can ascend to the throne of gods. This is the domineering nature of the path to becoming a god through faith.

However, nothing in the world is absolutely perfect. Every path that has an absolute advantage in a certain aspect will inevitably have shortcomings that others are unaware of. This is the case with the path of faith to godhood.

This path can be said to be the fastest path to success, but it is also the most unstable and the most vulnerable to setbacks. Once the faith provided by believers cannot keep up with the consumption, the faith in God will fall into a vicious cycle of deficit. If the decline cannot be reversed, it will fall into slumber due to the vicious cycle, or even perish directly.

While Hiroto's previous plan ignited his divine fire, it also dug a huge pit for him. Soon, he will discover that his faith has been divided. Now, Li Wei needs to buy time and remove the poison sacs below the hearts of most of the wagtails before Hiroto discovers this.

Li Wei is the kind of person who doesn't do things without a reason. When he's in a good mood, he'll occasionally do some good deeds. And these deeds aren't entirely without benefit to him. They can easily win over the girls around him, so emotional gains are also a benefit.

Winning over a girl always requires some sacrifice—perhaps money, energy, or feelings. However, sacrificing your dignity to win a girl's heart is the least worthwhile endeavor.

Wearing a swimsuit, Song leaned on Li Wei's shoulder, reluctant to leave, but her heart told her that there were still important things to do, which made her feel conflicted and hesitant.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

Song stood up, walked to the edge of the hot spring, picked up a bath towel and wrapped it around himself, saying, "I'll go contact those reed shoots now, but where should I have them meet?"

Li Wei said, "I've also set up a hidden safe house in the Eastern Capital. I'll give you the address through Butterfly's team channel. Tell those Weed Sprouts who are willing to trust you to gather there. I've disguised it with special magic, so even the Imperial Guards won't be able to find it."

Song asked in surprise, "Li Weijun, when did you set up the safe house? How come I didn't know?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. For your safety, I have to make several preparations."

.. .......

Li Wei always had his puppet clones prepare the safe houses, so on the surface they had no connection to him. Even if someone deliberately investigated, they wouldn't be able to find out about them.

Song said, "Once the location is decided, leave this matter to me. I will pass the message on to them. However, whether they will believe it or how many people will ultimately come is something I cannot say."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Just do your best. I don't expect everyone to believe me. I'll save as many as I can."

Li Wei isn't the kind of person who likes to be nice to others but gets rejected. Even when he wants to do good deeds, he has his own bottom line and won't compromise himself. Asking him to be like those anime male protagonists, always looking all gentle and kind, is just asking too much of him.

Song nodded, wrapped herself in a towel, and went ashore. This was something Li Wei had instructed her to do, and she wanted to do it as well as possible. Although Li Wei had said to send as many as possible, she still hoped that more people could come if conditions allowed. After all, those girls were like her, wagtails born for love, and she didn't want to see her kind suffer a tragic end, so she wanted to save as many as she could.

Li Wei smiled and said, "No matter what the final result is, I will prepare a special gift for you. I don't know if you will like it, but at least it is my token of appreciation."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Song, whose mood had been somewhat complicated, suddenly became motivated.
