Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

However, faced with the government's massive psionic army, psionic mechanical equipment, and superhumans, these brave civilians were simply powerless to resist.

The leader was quickly killed, and the rest were forcibly branded. "Law-abiding citizen" mode was activated.

Once this thing is turned on, the "criminal" brand will activate immediately, just like having a red-hot branding iron burning you.

If you continue despite the excruciating pain, the pain will spread throughout your entire body, just like falling into lava.

No one can hold out for thirty seconds. The right thing to do is to quickly admit your mistake and recite the civic code.

Of course, some people are so ruthless that they'd cut off their hands. Although it's branded on the arm, it actually leaves a spiritual mark.

Even if you lose your arms, you still have your legs, right? Even if you lose your legs, you still have your chest, right?

If I brand it on your head, can you still cut your head off?

Even if you're branded with this, you can't commit suicide. Because suicide is a crime, and a serious one at that.

Your life is important to this country and cannot be given up easily.

From then on, Skull and Bones began to step into the limelight.

The spokesperson even addressed the nation from the White Palace, using stern and solemn language, declaring that the people must demonstrate a spirit of dedication for the great Ameriko.

The Skull and Bones Society is getting a bit too arrogant these days, actually sending people to the headquarters of Mantis Shrimp, claiming they want to take over and provide some guidance.

That man disappeared that night and was never found again. Then no one came to take over the responsibility.

After all, the superheroes from Mantis Shrimp Company have already had their brand removed.

This thing can control ordinary people and restrict ordinary superhumans, but it's nothing to powerful superhumans with influence and connections.

……

During this time, Zhao Hao was not idle either. After coming up from the seabed, he began to take on the task of creating Enderman clones.

In addition to the Branding Project, Zhao Hao also discovered the Savior Project and the Kingdom of Heaven Project.

Let's not even talk about the Savior Project; it's basically the one that uses Savior candidates as nourishment.

The goal seems to be to cultivate a true savior who can communicate with the power of heaven.

This savior is able to use the power of Heaven to protect the world and prevent the end of the world.

In order to prevent problems with the savior plan, the backup plan, the Kingdom Come plan, was created.

This Kingdom Come plan is for escaping if all else fails.

If this apocalypse cannot be avoided, then concentrate our efforts to open the gates of heaven and bring these survivors into heaven for refuge.

Some people might chuckle at this: Heaven?! Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! Let's go now!

However, putting aside the fact that entering paradise isn't as simple as it seems, nothing comes without a price.

It's hard to say whether that paradise is even suitable for living.

If humans got there, they probably wouldn't be able to function as humans anymore. Do you really think there are dozens of virgins waiting for you?

So this is a backup plan.

Both the Savior Project and the Kingdom of Heaven Project are based on the Imprint Project.

No matter what, the vast majority of people in the Americas must be branded!

That's right, it's the entire Americas, both North and South. The America is just the beginning.

Now, the backyard of Amy—the Mexican cult has begun to spread. Countless people are fleeing south in dilapidated trucks.

But where can they escape to? The entire Americas are too close to the America!

In April 1988, a large armed passenger ship, nicknamed "Failure Donkey," was attacked by an unidentified giant sea monster in international waters. After resisting for six minutes, the ship broke in half. Due to being double-overloaded, this incident resulted in the deaths of 2954 people.

Then a devastating tsunami struck the Atlantic Ocean, causing damage and seawater intrusion into several coastal cities.

The national coalition immediately convened a meeting and dispatched a large number of personnel to conduct an investigation.

The conclusion was quickly reached—the tsunami and the multiple marine mammal incidents were man-made.

Further investigation revealed that a being named Cygnus had been resurrected.

In Greek mythology, Cygnus was the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and a nymph. He was raised by a strange roc from the island of Thenadus.

He has now been successfully resurrected in the bloodline of his own descendants. Then he discovers that there are no longer any gods in this world!

That means you are God!

So he began to try to take over the position of sea god, which was now empty.

This tsunami and countless powerful sea monsters were just his first step.

He can't get what he wants. Remember, most of the Earth is ocean!

If there really is a sea god who is superior to humans, then that would be truly terrible.

Countries contributed money and manpower, organizing a force of over a hundred men to carry out the punitive expedition.

Zhao Hao, Prada, and Fatty were all in the team.

However, just as the group was about to set off, something unexpected happened.

It is said that something was suddenly discovered in Europe, causing the son of the sea god to rush there. He has now disappeared into a secret realm.

Also disappearing were more than a dozen extraordinary individuals from Europa, one of whom was the pot-bellied Thor, Carlos Graf.

Although Chris Hemsworth is somewhat carefree and irresponsible, indulging in gluttony and womanizing, he can be considered the forceful representative among the candidates for savior.

He is a descendant of the gods from Norse mythology, the kind of person who, if he performs well, will have no obstacles before reaching Silver rank.

If he weren't so lazy, he would probably be at the peak of Bronze rank by now.

The reason he was so proactive this time, even venturing into that newly discovered mysterious realm and risking everything to arm wrestle with the resurrected son of the sea god, was because there was a call to him from his bloodline within that realm.

Those who follow the bloodline path have both advantages and disadvantages, namely that they are always affected by their bloodline.

While things go smoothly and easily up to the bloodline ceiling, the pressure increases the closer you get to that ceiling. Essentially, you haven't surpassed your bloodline ancestors.

While Thor is a high-level Silver Saint, Thor is merely his descendant on Earth, a half-god, half-human hybrid, and only a demigod. In other words, the peak of Bronze 5-star is truly the pinnacle.

That's why he's too lazy to exercise.

If you already know that your final score is unchangeable, you won't study hard.

……

The national superhuman leading the team was called away for a while, and when he returned, his expression was slightly off.

"Gentlemen, our mission has changed. Let's head to the mission location first!"

The international coalition has lost much of its prestige—large organizations and nations don't take it seriously anymore.

Despite his outward appearance of sleekness, Donkey Dung still deployed a large, psionic-enhanced passenger plane to carry everyone away.

At least they didn't ask anyone to figure out how to get there on their own.

Some of the familiar superhumans managed to get information from the team leader, and quickly obtained some intelligence.

These people were initially gathered together to kill that so-called son of the sea god.

What era are we living in? Do you still want to take advantage of people?

You shouldn't be the sea god anymore, go be the god of death!

However, the sudden change seems to have led to a revision of the task requirements from above.

"I can't disclose the specifics of the mission right now; someone will announce it when we arrive at our destination."

However, there are many troublemakers among the superhumans, not to mention Zhao Hao stirring up trouble behind the scenes. His eyes flickered, and several superhumans immediately stood up to object.

The fat guy, who was at the Bronze 2-star level and held a higher position, crossed his legs and said, "I'm not here to do personal work for your leaders. I'm short on time and don't have time to play house with you. Either tell me your task now, or if I can do it, I'll go; if not, I'm leaving!"

"Exactly! They didn't even tell us what the mission entails. What do they take us for?"

"That's right, we're not members of your group, so don't try to treat us like donkeys."

The person in charge waved his hand with a grim expression: "Gentlemen, I understand that you have come here because you are all of great importance and for the safety of all mankind. I don't want to hide it from you, but the information I received is that the mission has changed and there are other arrangements for taking you to the destination."

The leader, an extraordinary being, was also of bronze level. He was quite old and had a wide network of connections, with other extraordinary beings speaking on his behalf.

"Don't make things difficult for the captain. Let's just go over there and take a look. Who can force you to do something you can't do?"

"That's right, we're already here!"

The phrase "since we're already here" suddenly took on a causal effect, and everyone thought that they should wait and see.

After waiting for more than two hours, we finally arrived at our destination, an island near Iceland in Northern Europe.

A portly man stood before the crowd. "Hello everyone, I'm the person in charge here. Now, I'll explain the situation and the mission..."

The fat man explained where this place was.

It turns out that a secret realm has appeared on the seabed more than ten kilometers away.

Then the son of the sea god, Thor, and the others entered this secret realm.

But the task the fat man mentioned was a bit off...

Zhao Hao: "What do you mean? If necessary, we can destroy the entire secret realm directly? What about those who entered the secret realm?"

“That was a necessary sacrifice,” the fat man said without changing his expression.

Chapter 525 The Skull and Bones Society Always Has a Backup Plan

“Necessary sacrifice? What do you mean by that?” Zhao Hao asked.

The fat man said, "Sir, I know you are all unwilling to sacrifice the extraordinary beings in the secret realm, but the resurrected son of the sea god is in great danger. He has already reached the pseudo-silver level and is just one step away from inheriting the sea god's divine office. At that time... Therefore, in this critical moment, we have decided to destroy the entire secret realm directly!"

The fat man had a serious expression and looked very proper.

"When you say 'necessary sacrifice,' do you mean only the people in that secret realm, or does it include you?" Zhao Hao asked.

"This... well, I don't usually go to dangerous places like this... wait! What are you doing?!" the fat man screamed.

Zhao Hao grabbed the others and flew into the air.

"You set up a protective barrier here and be vigilant against the enemy. I'll take this person in charge to the secret realm to have a look. Only by participating firsthand can we know the situation on the front lines and make it easier for this person in charge to make the necessary sacrifices."

The fat man grinned and said, "Go ahead, be careful, and protect our person in charge. Of course, if necessary, sacrifice is also acceptable!"

Zhao Hao originally intended to teach the fat man a lesson. However, he miscalculated, because it was all a trap.
