Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

After decades of planning, the Gotha followers finally infused the psionic sea with elements of violence.

From the moment the reactor exploded, the violence in this world began to escalate.

If you were to analyze global violent incidents, you would find that they more than doubled in just over a month afterward.

From then on, the Gotha followers, who had been dormant for decades, began to experience a surge in power and influence, and started causing trouble everywhere. It was as if they wanted to unleash the violence they had been holding back for decades.

However, the four major cults are not so friendly with each other.

While Anonymous and the Gotha followers sometimes cooperate when facing the two extremes of a treacherous world, more often than not they sabotage and hinder each other.

The Gotha followers enjoy tearing off the heads of those exposed anonymous individuals. The anonymous individuals enjoy using those muscle-bound guys as weapons to attack the brainless, reckless bastards of the Sally followers. The Sally followers despise the disgusting plague carriers of the great, benevolent Father who spreads disease. The Nurgle followers always find opportunities to poison the Gotha muscle-bound guys, turning them into weak, sickly demons...

It can be said to be a perfect closed loop.

Therefore, now that the Anonymous have achieved their goals, they certainly cannot stand by and watch the Gotha followers expand their power and influence.

Moreover, the Gotha believers' power truly increased dramatically.

The most representative example is that this incident produced a brutal champion!

This is the pinnacle of Bronze 5-star! Just one step is all it takes to become the Chosen of Gotha! To become a god in this world!

He is currently asleep in Scandinavia, and when he wakes up in a few months, the Gotha Church will have the capital to openly occupy a base in the real world and even invade a small country.

Once they start a war, the violence will not stop, and the power will flow in endlessly.

Their killing power will increase, and the power of their remaining followers will increase.

The strength will increase as war breaks out, and the power will also increase as war spreads. At that point, a virtuous cycle will be formed!

However, the anonymous individuals had long since seen through their simplistic plan.

Thus, the "Global Symposium on Intelligent Psionic Machines" came about, Thomas happened to attend the meeting, an internal traitor deliberately sabotaged the laboratory, Thomas was sent to quell the rebellion, the tyrannical champion was awakened and fought Thomas, Thomas was defeated and finally the psionic fusion reaction bomb implanted in his body exploded, causing him to perish together with the enemy.

After the explosion, a third of the mountain range in the middle of Scandinavia, separating Navigation and Duden, was lost.

However, both sides' territories actually increased by half, because the explosion shattered the barrier between the inner and outer worlds, allowing the inner world's area to directly squeeze into the outer world.

Between Nawei and Duandian lies a supernatural jungle half the size of Deyizhi and a bottomless abyss...

If this psionic fusion bomb were to explode in the inner world, its power might increase threefold, equivalent to a nuclear bomb with a yield of 300,000 tons.

Most importantly, it will neutralize psionic energy, completely killing the extraordinary being.

So even the Bronze 5-star tyrannical champion, who was over ten meters tall and had taken violence and bloodshed to the extreme, did not survive.

Thomas actually has a plan to upload his personality to the psychic realm, but he doesn't have a psychic network and can't directly back up his personality to the psychic ocean. He's worried that using the Pipi Shrimp's psychic network would be a hindrance, so he's been hesitant.

If he hadn't hesitated, he might not have died.

……

There is a nearly ten-hour time difference between Europe and America. When Thomas made his self-destruction, Zhao Hao was still sleeping.

When he was awakened, he sensed that Thomas's psychic powers had disappeared.

Previously, Zhao Hao had secretly placed perception spells on many people, which only had the effect of locating and sensing their presence.

Zhao Hao suspected that among the remaining people, there might be spies from Amei or other forces.

However, Thomas is certainly not.

Although he had previously maintained close ties with the Afghan military, developing numerous psionic machines and psionic thermal weapons for them, and even psionic mechs, he died. And he perished alongside the enemy.

Zhao Hao sensed a conspiracy.

Three more saviors have died in a short period of time, as if they're rushing from one event to another!

This really makes one suspicious.

These are Bronze-level experts, and not just any ordinary Bronze-level experts. They are all outstanding among Bronze-level warriors.

However, within just a few months, less than a year, three more died. It seemed to be escalating rapidly.

Zhao Hao didn't have time to notify others; he immediately began tracing the clues through the psionic network.

Everything leaves a trace, especially now that Zhao Hao has both manpower and internet access.

Start the investigation with that seminar—who organized it? Then trace how Thomas got to that seminar…

In just two and a half hours, the magic mirror pieced together more than a dozen pieces of valuable information from hundreds of thousands of seemingly unrelated clues.

After examining each item, Zhao Hao began to ponder.

"Things are more complicated than I thought. It turns out there's more than just one group behind it..." Zhao Hao discovered traces of several forces in the intelligence.

There's a shadow of established powers in Europe, because they've been rooted there for nearly two thousand years, practically infiltrating every inch of the land. There are some things only they can accomplish flawlessly.

Were the Torchwood Group and MI8 of the Great Ying Empire involved?

If someone had set up such a grand scheme, it shouldn't have escaped their notice, right?

Torchwood is unlikely to be involved; they were simply used as top-tier henchmen. But it's hard to say about MI8.

Then there are cult organizations. Judging from their sinister style and their habit of leaving clues afterward to prove their existence, it's likely the work of an anonymous individual.

Such a large-scale project, spanning from America to Europe, could not possibly have been the work of a single anonymous individual.

Could it be that Anonymous Q led other Anonymous users to do this?

And then there's Ami's side... there are just too many coincidences here!

Even after Thomas refused once, a genius in psionic machinery appeared at the seminar and proposed a very novel theory of psionic personality information, which attracted him.

It's clear that powerful local figures familiar with Thomas are involved.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but think of those people who had been hiding behind the scenes at the top of America's power structure.

To this day, Zhao Hao still doesn't know exactly who these people are, but he is certain that such a group exists.

They must have been involved in the initial selection of the savior candidates, so what role do they play now?

The successive deaths of the savior candidates are inextricably linked to them. What is their purpose?

……

Thomas's death was just as unexpected as that of the paladin Francis.

Less than three months after Francis's sacrifice, Thomas also perished alongside the enemy. This was unacceptable to the remaining candidates for the Salvation.

The necromancer Sandru Yoda abruptly disconnected and then went completely offline.

Even Zhao Hao's location tracking became useless; all that was known was that he eventually went to the Underworld, possibly to escape everyone's surveillance.

Professor Sykes Sturker, a schizophrenic professor, claims he will remain at MIT to help his fellow citizens and announces he will no longer participate in any of the Salvation Candidate's actions.

The pot-bellied Thor, Carlos Graff, immediately went to search newly discovered areas in Scandinavia, determined to find traces of Thomas. What kind of enemy could have driven him to self-destruct?

Somewhat bewildered, the telepathic Sam Rice, on Zhao Hao's advice, decides to stay in Chicago as a superhero for the Pipi Shrimp Security Company, contributing to the safety of the people.

Italian prophetic poet Tiamat Siro stroked the poetry book in his hand and said to Zhao Hao, "I can feel death chasing me." He refused Zhao Hao's suggestion to move it, as he had already seen the end of his own poems.

Prada then moved with Gou Quan to the headquarters of Pipi Shrimp, where Zhao Hao and his group were located.

Today, this is the tallest building in Liberty City, the Shrimp Building.

Prada had actually faced a dangerous situation six months earlier, when its mission was to deal with a newly emerging super-terrorist organization in South America. They were attempting to seize power in several war-torn countries there.

That time, Prada was lucky. She had been feeling uneasy and apprehensive, so she acted cautiously and even notified Zhao Hao.

So when she fell into the trap, Zhao Hao, who had been watching closely, immediately provided cross-space support, easily eliminating the group of extraordinary terrorists.

But now that I think about it, that trap was specifically designed for Prada, the one who had been possessed by the gods. If the divine power that had been forcibly removed from her body had been removed, she probably wouldn't have been able to fight back.

Looking back now, I think I probably unintentionally escaped a disaster, or rather, I was ambushed.

……

Zhao Hao began to accelerate his expansion.

The price of the affordable version of Den Den Mushi has been reduced, making it more accessible to ordinary people.

Anyway, this thing just uses more extraordinary materials and psionic energy to split itself. There's practically no cost involved.

Pipi Shrimp Psionic Bank offers a special loan program for those with high psychic potential, helping them awaken their psychic abilities and become extraordinary individuals. They then join Pipi Shrimp Company to repay the loan.

Fantasy Games has also launched more immersive dream game experiences for ordinary people.

Allow ordinary people who cannot become superhumans to enter the game in their dreams and experience the game content of superhumans.

This also leads to many ordinary people being unable to accept the reality that they are just ordinary people after waking up, and even taking sleeping pills to dream in games. Sleeping twenty hours a day!

Local governments are granted shares and "authority" in psionic base stations across the country, just to ensure that psionic base stations and networks can be deployed in all countries with the green light.

Zhao Hao even thought of a scheme like "You get paid for watching the live stream, what are you waiting for?"

Basically, you either become a superhuman and work for me, or if you can't become the superhuman in my dreams, you do free work for me, or you watch the live stream to provide me with faith, or you become a transit point in the psionic network to boost my data and provide me with personal information...

Zhao Hao felt that the world was already so difficult, and that the most important thing was to ensure the survival of humanity and the continuation of civilization.

Whether there were any human rights violations, excessive exploitation, or infringements on the freedom of certain individuals during this period is not important.

I'm going to save the world; you just wait to be saved, you have no right to refuse.

Another six months have passed, and almost all of the data for Pipi Shrimp Company has increased several times over.

Zhao Hao, after all, had lived through the internet age of later generations. What kind of monsters and demons hadn't he seen, and what kind of ways of exploiting people hadn't he done? He could do it all with ease.

Although other forces have tried to imitate the mantis shrimp, the first-mover advantage is too obvious, and the size advantage is too obvious.

Take Nanji Goose for example; with hundreds of millions of users, it can crush its competitors in everything it does.

Both the American government and the military have started keeping an eye on Pipi Shrimp Company, and Zhao Hao even discovered that many spies had been sent to Pipi Shrimp Company.

It seems like Amei can't tolerate mantis shrimp anymore.

Because it is completely outside the control of the American government, from psionic base stations to live broadcasts, from superhuman heroes to profit-making.

They either use Pipi Shrimp's own channels or go through the Fantasy Westward Journey game. There's absolutely nothing the official Ame (American) can do about it.

Also, because the mantis shrimp is too big, and not many traditional forces have joined in, especially the America government and military, they can't get any benefits at all.

They coveted mantis shrimp so much that they drooled every day.

Amei: If I can't win over the game, can't I win over you?

Just as Zhao Hao was preparing to openly and covertly compete with Amei, someone secretly contacted Zhao Hao through a remnant soul.
