Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

However, there is more to it than that.

From under the mask came a loud and unbridled laugh.

...

Keep going!

Omphalos's Journey: Chapter 51: Aha is still laughing, seizing the Oronis fire [Please vote! ]

"Hahahahaha"

The laughter transcended time and space, reaching Ash's mind from the depths of the distant universe.

He was laughing, and seemed to be laughing very happily.

So happy, it seemed that after hearing this voice, Ash also wanted to laugh.

Who is it? Who's laughing? Damn it, I'm in so much pain.

Wait, a mask? A mask?

Ahaha??!

What's going on? !

Fu Li, Bo Shi Zun, why are you two here again???

The appearance of the two images made the originally sluggish power of destiny become particularly active. Ash immediately realized that something was wrong because he could feel the burning heat on the back of his hand. At the same time, the power erupting from the sun disk was even stronger than before.

boom!

The power of the sun poured down on Ash, 'helping' him resist the two forces of fate.

The sudden change made people in the city look sideways. They looked at the sun that was emitting an extremely dazzling light, and they knelt on the ground excitedly, shouting the greatness of King Ash.

"King Ash!"

"King Ash!"

They believed without a doubt that the power of the sun was growing stronger, and it must be the great divine power of King Ash that was pulling and shining Shurima!

Yes, Ash was indeed pulling, but it was just passive pulling.

He felt like his body was going to explode.

The entanglement of the three forces in his body was like igniting the sea, the power of the sun was boiling and burning. If it were not for the protection of the sun disc, he doubted whether he would have fallen into the arms of Senatos.

What's even more annoying is that the laughter is getting louder and louder. Hearing this sound, Ash can even imagine the other person falling to the ground with laughter.

Damn, even if I die, can you let me beat that guy up first? ? ?

He even suspected that this guy was gloating.

Although, he had no idea what was so funny about it.

Perhaps Ash's 'prayer' was answered, and the entanglement of the three forces in the body finally gradually determined the winner. After all, intelligence and memory belonged to the 'outsider', and under the strengthened power of the sun, they finally began to show signs of decline.

"These two kinds of destiny power are not very strong, fortunately..."

If you are glanced at by a star god, you will gain the power of the corresponding destiny, just like the star core essence in the game.

But if you want to become a higher-level destiny walker or even a messenger, you need to rely on hard work and go further on this road.

Fortunately, Ash didn't even take a step, so he didn't get much power.

The process of suppression by the power of the sun lasted for about half an hour, and finally won. After most of the two fateful forces were devoured, they huddled in a corner and supported each other.

At this point, the entanglement of the three forces was completely calmed down. Ash felt the mark on the back of his hand, and the burning sensation was slowly fading away.

At the same time, the sun disk returned to its previous appearance.

call! ~

Ash breathed a sigh of relief.

No time to think too much.

His drained spirit and aching body made him unable to hold on any longer, so he fell asleep on the sofa.

...

Ash had a dream.

He no longer dreamed of himself ascending the throne and becoming an emperor surrounded by beauties, but instead dreamed of himself becoming the first-person perspective of a certain existence.

He dreamed that he was creating the sun, stars and everything in the universe.

Every time he made a 'ball', he felt happy.

He carefully protects these balls and soars in the universe.

When someone accidentally broke his ball, he would get extremely angry and beat those guys to death.

Then the scene changed, and he saw Omphalos again, and the mysterious Möbius strip.

However, the Möbius strip at this moment is no longer a complete 8. One of the parts is broken for some reason, as if it was pierced by some mysterious force.

The broken ring was leaking some mysterious power from the upper part, as if trying to repair the crack.

Ash tried to get closer to check, but he woke up the next second.

"pain."

"Hiss~ My head is about to explode."

Ash patted his head.

Although it is not as painful as before, it is still very uncomfortable.

After waiting for a long time, his physical condition improved a little, and he subconsciously looked at the circular mark on the back of his hand.

I found that the scale had moved forward a lot, and I was only one step away from entering the third level of power.

"The power has increased a lot. Is it because of the transformation of the two major powers of destiny?"

He felt it carefully and found that the two destiny powers of knowledge and memory had not disappeared, but remained aside, just like the power Oronis had given him before. The difference was that the power of the sun had no thoughts about Oronis's power. Strange, was there any difference?

To be honest, Ash is a little confused now.

The power of knowledge and memory of destiny should have been obtained when the two star gods glanced at them, but why did it attract the power of the sun? The latter seemed to be intentionally "driving" them away.

"Fortunately, there are only two powers. By the way, that laughter from before should have been Aha, right? Fortunately, He didn't join in, otherwise it would have really exploded."

I'm not sure if it's Aha, but anyone who can show up when the two star gods appear should be of that level. Apart from Aha, Ash can't think of any other possibility.

but.

Aren't you Omphalos isolated from the world?

Isn't it very difficult to get a glimpse of the Star God?

Forget about intelligence and memory, after all, Omphalos already has these two powers. The appearance of joy is something Ash can't understand. It can't be joy at the end of the three destinies, right? It's impossible. Only a fool would write that.

"I'm afraid this is a fake Star Dome Railway."

After confirming that he wasn't missing any limbs, Ash put aside his thoughts for the moment. He was finally on the right track; at least his strength had increased. He could consider the pain the price of his increased strength. This thought instantly made him feel much better.

Although there are still two time bombs buried in the body, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Ash stood up.

I sat down again feeling uneasy.

Then he checked carefully to make sure that his body had not been marked by the power of joy, and suddenly felt relieved and said "Thank you, Aha".

"King Ash."

Outside the temple, as soon as Ash walked out, he met Julius who was coming over here.

"Julius?" Ash thought of the previous events. "How long has it been since the Black Tide?"

Julius was stunned and said, "Two days."

"Two days?"

"Yes, I was looking for you."

Julius quickly explained his investigation.

"The Kuroshio has become more active. Those things are now spreading everywhere. Several tribes we visited were attacked by the Kuroshio."

Although the Black Tide had posed a great threat in the past, it was not as serious as this, otherwise Omphalos would have been destroyed long ago.

This time, not only were many tribes attacked, but the situation in Xuanfeng City and Ohma was similar to that in Shurima. After a difficult battle, many holy city guards were killed and wounded in Ohma, but the overall problem was not serious.

As for Xuanfeng City, it is said that the Heavenly Punishment Legion has appeared, but the situation should not be much more serious than theirs. However, Nicardoli seems to be particularly sensitive to the appearance of the Black Tide and has sent a large number of Heavenly Punishment soldiers to eliminate the Black Tide.

"It looks like a worldwide catastrophe."

Ash pondered for a moment.

He originally thought that this was an attack by the Black Tide against him as an 'outsider'.

But now it seems that it is a black tide riot in the whole world.

What was he trying to do? To hasten the destruction of the world? If he didn't hurry up, he would save us?

"Julius, have the garrison troops be on high alert during this period. If a black tide is spotted, do not act rashly. Report it first."

Ash ordered.

"Yes, King Ash." After a pause, Julius continued, "King, when I came back, I saw some refugees rushing towards us. You will see..."

Because of the sudden outbreak of the Black Tide, those tribes that were unwilling to join other forces in the past were attacked, and they had to seek shelter if they wanted to survive.

Either Ohma or Shurima.

It can be predicted that the population of the two major city-states will explode again in the next period of time.

But the situation in Shurima is not as stable as that in Ohma. Population growth is a good thing, but if there are too many outbreaks and administrative management, territory division, public security, etc. cannot keep up, problems will arise.

"If the identity is verified to be correct, then accept it." Ash said.

After Julius left, Ash found Xiadie and asked her to lead the priest team to walk around the city, spread the truth of the empire, and stabilize the situation.

As a result, he didn't need to say anything. Old Ultra and others had actually taken action. As soon as the black tide broke out and caused panic, the priests had already started working. When Ash controlled the sun disk to eliminate the black tide, they were so excited that they knelt on the ground and banged their heads on the ground. It is said that two of the older ones were knocked unconscious on the spot.

Thanks to the efforts of the priests, there was no panic in Shurima after the Black Tide. Even when the people saw refugees coming to Shurima due to the Black Tide disaster, they would take the initiative to step forward and tell them about the greatness of King Ash. Under the truth of the empire, both the Black Tide and the disaster of strife would be eliminated.

So much so that in the next few days, while there was great suffering and disaster outside, the per capita happiness index in the city skyrocketed.

"Brother, I swear by the Imperial Truth in my hand that King Ash's greatness needs no further explanation. To follow him is to follow destiny!"

The world has become a desert, and Emperor Ash is an oasis. - "Imperial Truth"

As for this phenomenon, Ash remained silent, and could only say that Shurima's cohesion had improved again.

However, the problems brought about by population growth cannot be ignored. The difference between villages, towns and cities does not lie in the number of people, and the difficulty of management is not at the same level at all.

No matter how much everyone trusts King Ash, there are still conflicts among each other, which requires strengthening public security management and increasing the number and tasks of the garrison.

Culturally, the newly integrated tribes all retained their own customs and beliefs, which was the most troublesome aspect. After all, Omphalos was a world created by the Titans, and the people's faith in them was absolute. Even if the world's disasters were caused by the Titans, the people had no choice but to believe in them.

After all, even that madman Strife has a group of followers, not to mention the other Titans.

However, religious divisions are extremely detrimental to a country. Ash can tolerate his subjects making trouble and fighting, but he will never tolerate anyone promoting other beliefs in Shurima.

So his requirement for this is that if you want to become a member of Shurima, you must regard King Ash as your only faith and the golden sun as your lifelong pursuit.

Of course, it would be a bit unreasonable to ask those people to give up their original beliefs, so Ash gave the priests a task, which was to educate the newly joined people on the truth of the empire and guide them to become Shurima people.

As for those who are stubborn and refuse to accept, or those who profess faith but secretly have different beliefs, they will be rejected. Perhaps when Shurima grows to a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions, and its foundation is no longer affected by these religious differences, Ash will consider giving these people another form of protection, such as becoming "second-class citizens."

After all, Omphalos has such a large population base that it is impossible to abandon them all. But in the final analysis, if you want to be protected, you must exchange your beliefs. You are not my people, so why should I protect you?

Ash didn't force them to join Shurima.

Moreover, Oronis' miracles have their limits. With the population explosion, food problems will reappear one day, unless the doomsday crisis is truly resolved and light once again covers the entire Omphalos.

"Unfortunately, there is no 5G network here, and messaging is too troublesome."

The more he managed the city, the more Ash felt the importance of technological development.

If there were a mobile phone network, he could send out commands one by one directly, instead of sending people running forward every time.

Unfortunately, in Omphalos, only Ohema can do this.
