Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

However, this is not allowed in the Mantis Shrimp Alliance (all regions that are subordinate to Zhao Hao and under the jurisdiction of Mantis Shrimp).

The Mantis Shrimp Alliance implements a planned economy and Master Luo's new policies.

Freeloading only breeds parasites; earning a living through hard work is the proper way.

Keeping people occupied prevents them from despairing.

In comparison, the situation of the Mantis Shrimp Alliance is much better.

The main reason is that Zhao Hao has both power and resources.

……

The year 94 passed by in a series of stumbles and falls. Many people were pale and thin, and for the first time they learned the true meaning of "every grain is hard-earned".

The year 95 quietly arrived, and the Green Knight, clad in green armor, riding a green horse, and wielding a scepter, came.

Nearly ten thousand fully armed superhumans are stationed on the inland borders of the Pharaoh's Kingdom.

This is the front line against the endless plagues of Africa, the line of health and safety.

Just as the sun was about to set and the golden sunset was casting its glow on the earth, a dark shadow appeared on the horizon.

One of the superhuman captains was very vigilant; he had an eagle-eye ability and excellent eyesight.

"Everyone be careful, something's wrong! Quickly bring the beyond-visual-range psionic imager!"

Then, the squad leader saw an endless stream of countless animals surging towards him like a tide.

Those were all creatures infected with various diseases, some even transformed into other species, bizarre and fused together...

The psionic imager, which resembled a telescope, slipped from the squad leader's hand and fell to the ground.

This startled him awake. He shouted, covered in sweat, "Sound the alarm! Highest alarm level! The plague is launching a massive invasion!"

Chapter 532 Solar True Flame - Purification

The news of the events in the Pharaoh's country spread throughout the world in almost twenty minutes.

After all, the world is now practically integrated thanks to the coverage of the psionic network and the Extraordinary Forum.

In the Year of the Green Knight, the pandemic hit, sending several European officials into a panic.

The "Last Gotha Brawl" that took place in Mesopotamia, which is closer to Europe, had already terrified them.

Fortunately, Zhao Hao ultimately succeeded by catching them all in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, these reckless warmongers would definitely escalate the situation.

When that time comes, these small official groups, acting as the front line of resistance, will have to repeat the "war of heretics" and "defend Athena" from a thousand years ago!

Just as they had dealt with the front door robbers and caught their breath, the back door caught fire!

The Vatican's power is truly pathetic now. They can't even maintain a semblance of stability, let alone support these important minor officials. Hoping for their support is a pipe dream.

In this scenario, if the Pharaoh's defenses fall, these minor officials will all perish within half a month.

Hug my leg! Hug my thigh! Hug the thickest leg!

And so, in just forty minutes of discussion, a quarter of the Europa government's officials joined Zhao Hao's Shrimp Alliance.

This was a swift surrender in 49! Any later and it would have been too late!

The first batch of support to arrive in the Pharaoh's Kingdom came from the extraordinary heroes of the Pipi Shrimp Headquarters. The weakest among them were Iron 5-star, totaling more than 300 people, and there were 12 Bronze-level heroes!

Because the mantis shrimp can teleport matter around the world using psionic base stations, it arrived in just fifteen minutes.

Fortunately, they arrived in time, because in those fifteen minutes, the Pharaoh's defenses had already begun to crumble.

Although the Pharaoh's Kingdom had received a lot of volunteers beforehand, its defenses were equipped with various advanced psionic weapons, large-scale psionic equipment, and its personnel had a considerable amount of psionic gear and consumables.

But in reality, it's all just a shiny slate; nine-tenths of the aid was embezzled by unknown people!

Shh~ I can't say more, those who know, know.

The army of disease-carrying organisms was overwhelming, with various colors and types, and virtually no two were alike.

They have all mutated to be unique, not only in appearance but also in their abilities. But they have one thing in common: they are all highly polluting.

Whether it was a green gas cloud or a green liquid, the ground turned greenish-yellow and sticky wherever it passed!

"Activate the temporary barrier to take over the defense line!" The extraordinary captains leading the teams instructed their members to construct a psionic barrier.

At the same time, seven or eight bronze-level beings had already flown out and began using psionic wave bombs to bombard the flood of plague-infested creatures!

Within the green "tide," patches of blank space, tens or even hundreds of meters in diameter, appeared continuously, each time turning hundreds of plague-infested creatures to ash. The denser the plague-infested areas, the greater the destructive power of the bombing.

The most intense impact was broken, and the Pipi Shrimp heroes began to annihilate the smaller groups of plague creatures, buying time for their teammates to establish a psionic barrier.

Those extraordinary individuals from the Pharaoh's Kingdom had miraculously escaped with their lives and retreated hastily.

However, they were quickly stopped by the Shrimp Heroes wearing psionic protective suits.

"Just to be on the safe side, you can't retreat to the back yet. We need to separate and sing. Please cooperate!"

Several extraordinary individuals in the crowd suddenly showed signs of distress. Their micro-expressions were detected by the psionic AI puppet, which immediately marked them. They were then restrained by several extraordinary individuals who suddenly jumped out and imprisoned within a small barrier.

Sure enough, they were all injured and infected!

Although they knew they shouldn't, they didn't want to die. Maybe, just maybe, if they escaped to the rear, there would be a chance they could be cured?

……

The first wave of the plague lasted for a full six hours, and at least hundreds of thousands of plagues were eliminated.

Zhao Hao even stepped in to purify the air; otherwise, the stagnant gas alone would have been fatal.

Support from various countries began to arrive one after another, and wave after wave of extraordinary individuals poured into the battlefield, then tore off their clothes and began their farewell song.

The battle continued, with a large wave of infected creatures swarming in about a week, spreading like a flood.

In addition, there are some higher-level plague beings that have developed some intelligence, are able to control their own abilities related to the plague, and are cunning.

Almost every day, some advanced plague creatures attempting to infiltrate are discovered, only to be intercepted and killed by several bronze-level soldiers. Each instance brings chaos.

If viewed from above, one would see that Africa, already riddled with holes, is now a yellowish-green sea.

Occasionally, strange plague-infested creatures emerge from pools of pus, nests of lumps, and filthy burrows.

They start by wandering aimlessly, fighting and devouring each other, growing rapidly.

Once they reached around level 2 or 3 in the Black Iron realm, it was as if they had suddenly been summoned, and they began to converge on the Pharaoh's Kingdom, forming a tidal wave of attacks.

……

"It's been almost two months. The number of superhumans deployed to the defensive battles has reached 300,000, many of whom have participated in the battles three or four times already. Even the strongest people can't take it!" Fatty complained at the Pipi Shrimp internal meeting.

Gou Quan nodded in agreement, "This passive defense isn't working. Those plague-infected creatures are proliferating across the entire continent, seemingly endless. They'll eventually wear us down!"

Elena put down her pen and said, "Zhao Hao has already consulted with other official bodies and organizations, hoping they can reach a consensus on this plan. Although it sounds quite astonishing, there's no other way now. Rather than letting the entire continent rot like this, it's better to use Zhao Hao's method."

At this moment, Zhao Hao had already arrived at the venue and began to preside over the vote by raising hands.

Only about twenty representatives from various parties were able to attend the meeting, and these were the only remaining major government agencies and organizations.

Small official bodies and small organizations have long since merged with each other, or simply joined the Pipi Shrimp (a Chinese online gambling platform).

Zhao Hao glanced at everyone, "Now that the vote has passed, the purification operation will begin..."

After saying that, Zhao Hao disappeared from the meeting room. The other delegates immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing a deity face-to-face is an extremely oppressive experience. No normal person would ever want to go through that again.

The time arrived at noon. All the game-related forums, websites, psionic broadcasts, and live streams had been saying the same thing: a purification operation would take place at noon, with the aim of completely purifying Africa. This was humanity's desperate measure, and also a survival strategy for all of us…

When the time came, the sun in the sky suddenly seemed to lose its brilliance!

However, that was not the case. Instead, another "sun" appeared in the sky! It was bigger, brighter, and hotter!

Zhao Hao stood ten thousand meters above the sky, holding a ball of light in his hand. Electromagnetic lightning surged around him, binding magnetic fields... This was the true solar flame that Zhao Hao had specially extracted from the sun!

A few seconds later, the ball of light was so bright that it was impossible to look at it directly, and Zhao Hao threw it down.

Then a "sun" fell from the sky and crashed into the heart of Africa's interior.

Instantly, golden flames expanded outwards from the center point, spreading outwards in three minutes to form a circle with a diameter of 7,500 kilometers! The control was perfect!

Within this area, rocks melted, living things turned to ash, and everything was reduced to scorched earth! Even countless wads of seawater near the coast evaporated!

……

After the entire cleanup operation, all the major government agencies became exceptionally polite to the mantis shrimp. Previously, they would haggle over prices at the drop of a hat, but now they are all very polite and willing to negotiate.

Previously, all we knew was that Zhao Hao had become a god, and the official authorities thought they were powerful enough to fight him for a few rounds even if he wasn't a match for them.

But after this move, everyone understood. This was no ordinary Silver True God!

94 passed just like that, and the second half was very uneventful.

People started paying attention to the true god Zhao Hao instead of the apocalypse.

Because of that one action, Zhao Hao gained dozens of different faith groups around the world.

After all, anyone who has witnessed a raging fire that engulfs an entire continent and burns everything to ashes will feel a sense of insignificance. They will then look at Zhao Hao with an incomparably revered gaze.

Some small groups claim that Zhao Hao is the God of Fire, others say he is the God of Destruction, still others say he is the Guardian of the World, and still others say he is the Lord of Humanity. In short, each claim is more exaggerated and more absurd than the last.

Some people have even started to form religions, and they've even started to have doctrines, scriptures, and creeds!

However, after the most outspoken guy, who loved giving speeches and claimed to be Zhao Hao's most devout follower, was arrested by Pipi Shrimp, everyone calmed down a lot.

Many believers said, "Our God is different. I've watched his live streams before and even voted for him! He called me 'bro' and asked me for votes!"

As the number of gamers, psionic network users, and members of the Pipi Shrimp Alliance increases, and even as Zhao Hao begins to gain a large number of followers, his base of support is growing larger and larger.

At this point, even the major government agencies were reaching their breaking point; the apocalypse was far too brutal. Even their reserves and resources were beginning to crumble.

In that case, it's better to just give in sooner rather than later.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, they all understood that, relying on their individual strength, they couldn't survive for more than a few years in the apocalypse. In the end, they would have to rely on this true god who could destroy an entire continent.

Even in mythology, this kind of being would be among the strongest, right? The kind that causes massive floods and brings disaster to humanity at the drop of a hat?

Once we acknowledge our weaknesses, we are invincible!

Therefore, the World Federation is being prepared.

The most awkward situation now belongs to the Vatican and a few other stubborn forces.
