People are collapsing, and Mebius is my ex-girlfriend?

Learn from the barbarians and develop skills to control the barbarians.

Repay the other person with his own way.

In any case, if you want to deal with the Western alliance government, using the power of the opposition is undoubtedly the best option.

So ever since the Twilight Cult started fighting against the Western Alliance, Ling Lu began desperately contacting opposition parties in various countries, trying every possible way to gain their support.

Then he discovered something amazing, that is, a large part of the opposition parties in the Western Alliance happened to be believers of the Twilight Cult!

As the influence of the Twilight Cult continued to spread, although the ruling party generally refused to accept the teachings of the Twilight Cult for political reasons, the opposition party was not subject to this restriction. After a little contact with the Twilight Cult, they were quickly assimilated and became loyal believers of the Twilight Cult.

This means that the Twilight Cult, which originally had no political power, suddenly possessed a huge political influence.

He can use this political influence to do many things to interfere with the alliance's decision-making.

This is why Ling Lu was not panicked at all when Abonya was put in prison. With the support of the opposition party, he already had enough energy to rescue Abonya, and he could even rely on the Twilight Cult to confront the Western Alliance government openly.

But Ling Lu did not want to do that, because he planned to take advantage of the fact that Aponya was imprisoned to further expand the influence of the Twilight Cult.

First of all, let’s start with this debate that has attracted worldwide attention!

"bring it on!"

"Let me show you how powerful keyboard warriors are!"

There is nothing else to say. This game only needs to let everyone know what kind of person the Western Alliance is and how powerful the Twilight Cult is.

It is equivalent to a shooter who has developed all six pieces of equipment and just needs to start outputing as much as possible!

【Scene in the court.】

[Twilight Pope Ling Lu appeared from the side door and came here. ]

[“Saint Aponia, are you okay?” As soon as Ling Lu arrived, he interacted with Aponia and gave her a hint with his eyes. ]

[The judge in the distance frowned: "This is a court. As the pope of a religious organization, what qualifications do you have to trespass here?"]

[“So you guys are going to kick me out?” Ling Lu wasn’t panicked at all]

In fact, the judge and politicians such as the prime minister did not dare to drive Ling Lu away at the moment. After all, this court debate was now being broadcast live on the Internet, and countless people were witnessing this scene.

Even if it's for their own face, they have to take on this challenge with their faces.

[Aponia spoke calmly: "Pope Linglu, I'm fine. But you didn't have to come here... You are just a group of despicable and cowardly people. You can't hurt me at all."]

"puff!"

Ling Lu couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect that Abonya could be even more powerful than himself when he turned against the government. This move was a slap in the face of many politicians and religious members present.

The main reason was that it was difficult for them to refute, because what they had done before was so despicable and cowardly, and they put Aponia on trial without regard for morality.

[The Prime Minister of the Alliance spoke slowly: "Pope Ling Lu, you, the Twilight Cult, think you are on the side of justice, but do you really represent justice? The country needs development, and politics needs balance. Even if you think the Alliance is not ready to deal with it now, can others do better? On the contrary, you, the Twilight Cult, are expanding your influence too much, which will only break the balance and plunge the country into a more chaotic situation!"]

This Prime Minister is indeed a wise man.

He knew that today's situation was doomed to not end well, so he simply started an impromptu debate. The point of view he put forward was also very reasonable. He believed that the emergence of the Twilight Cult was disrupting the balance of the current Western Alliance. Not only was this behavior without any benefits, but it would bring huge losses to the alliance.

Using this, he could give a relatively just reason for today's unjust trial, and attack and annihilate the Twilight Cult as the culprit that disrupted the world.

[“What the Prime Minister said makes sense, but let me ask you, is political balance more important, or is the safety of the people more important?” Ling Lu said indifferently.]

【“You…” The Prime Minister fell silent. 】

[“In the past several disasters, the Twilight Church played an extremely important role and saved many innocent people. On the other hand, the Alliance government failed to do even the most basic thing to protect the lives and safety of the people. Afterwards, they forcibly captured the Saint Aponia of our church. Is this approach really reasonable?”]

【“…”】

[“The Twilight Cult never wanted to get involved in politics from the beginning. It was you, Prime Minister, who forced us into it. The only thing we care about is the lives of our believers. The only thing we want to do is to protect the safety of our believers in the disaster.”]

[“Since the Western Alliance government cannot protect the people, then we in the Twilight Church can only take on this responsibility, because the goal of the Saint of my church is to guide all believers to a place of eternal peace. This is not just a boring slogan, but the true goal of my Twilight Church!”]

[“The Church of Dusk has proved this with actual actions, proving that our Saint possesses this ability, proving that our church is sincere and pure. We are not trying to save the world, nor do we want to replace the government’s responsibilities. Our church is merely fulfilling our responsibilities.”]

[“As for the increase in the number of believers in my religion during this process, it was purely because of the attraction brought by my religion itself. It has nothing to do with any despicable or dirty purpose. It’s just that the actions of our Dusk Church have received due praise.”]

【"You?!" The Prime Minister of the Alliance took a deep breath. 】

Ling Lu's remarks could be said to be a complete substitution of concepts, but because every word he said was correct, even if it was a substitution of concepts, the other party could not make any rebuttal.

Because here are the facts.

Faced with the disaster, the Western Alliance government's response was slow and lacked organization. In contrast, the Twilight Cult, a purely religious organization, united the people at the fastest speed when faced with the crisis of Honkai Impact 3 and rescued innocent people from danger.

Whatever the government cannot do, we, the Twilight Church, will do it.

He completely skipped over the question about political balance raised by the Prime Minister earlier. What the other party said has nothing to do with our religion.

Ling Lu found another point in the other party's words, pointing out that the existence of the Twilight Cult was not to forcibly intervene in the political balance, but was just doing what it should do.

To sum up, it is one thing - it is your Western governments that are incapable of protecting the people, not that my Twilight Church is too attractive.

[“Faced with the spreading crisis, if the alliance fails to effectively control it, and instead places the blame on our Saint Aponia alone.”]

[“This kind of thing has very few precedents in history. Do you want to follow the example of Charles VII and have a trial like Joan of Arc?”]

[“Then I think there is no need for us, the Twilight Cult, to do anything. History itself is enough to make everyone present here infamous for eternity!”]

Ling Lu finished speaking all the words he had prepared and looked coldly at everyone in the courtroom.

He knew very well that the point of this trial was not to confront the court. If it was to confront the court, actual weapons would be much more meaningful than the power of words.

The real reason why he had to hold this court debate was undoubtedly to further expand the influence of the Twilight Cult and let the world realize what kind of organization the Twilight Cult is.

As the debate progressed, this court debate, which was broadcast live, has undoubtedly caused an uproar in the world, at least in the Western alliance.

All of us in Western society were drawn to the content of the debate, and equally drawn to the teachings of Twilight.

The reputation of the Twilight Cult began to rise rapidly at the speed of a rocket!

Chapter 102: Mobius is screwed. Not only did he steal the man, but he also did NTR to his face?!

[After the great court debate, the reputation of the Twilight Cult in the Western Alliance has risen significantly]

【Twilight Cult officially becomes a world-class religion】

[All members of the Dusk Cult gain religious belief buff - Eternal Dusk]

[Eternal Dusk: The spiritual attributes of all Dusk members are greatly increased, and all actions will further expand the influence of the Dusk Church. Under the attention of the Dusk Saint, the faith of all Dusk believers is greatly improved, and no negative attributes will be generated when encountering any influence.]

[As the Pope of the Twilight Cult, you obtain the Pope's special buff - I am the God's favor]

[I am God's Favor: As Saint Aponia's closest and most trusted person, all your actions will be recognized by all Twilight Cultists. As long as you always maintain Saint Aponia's trust, the Twilight Cultists' recognition of you will not decrease in the slightest.]

[Twilight Cult has become the most influential religion in the Western Alliance]

There is no doubt about the facts.

This court debate brought unprecedented and huge improvements to Ling Lu and the Twilight Cult. The benefits and disadvantages were clear and obvious.

The good thing is that the Twilight Cult has completely become a religious group with great influence. Its reputation will continue to rise, and it will continue to expand its influence to the world. Of course, if it weren't for the influence of Aponia's "words of commandments", this expansion speed would not be particularly outrageous.

This can be seen from the fact that the Twilight Cult has hardly established any effective religious groups outside the Western Alliance. In places where Aponia's "words of commandments" cannot reach, the acceptance of emerging religions such as the Twilight Cult in most regions is obviously not very high.

Huaguo and Zhongzhou completely reject this kind of foreign religious influence. The former has a long civilization and is difficult to be influenced by religious factors. Zhongzhou believes in Islam, and its own monotheistic beliefs make it impossible for it to accept the distortion of a foreign belief.

In this case, the Twilight Cult's complete occupation of the Western Alliance's religious power is only a small step forward. If it wants to further expand its influence, it still has a long way to go.

This court debate undoubtedly has certain disadvantages, that is, the Twilight Cult is presented to the world in such an exaggerated way, and it will definitely be subjected to crazy attacks from other religious forces in the future.

Most religions are monotheistic and extremely exclusive, so their attitude towards believers is like dividing a cake. Once a piece is taken away by others, they will always have one less piece.

The most important thing is that the way the Twilight Cult recruits its followers doesn’t seem like dividing a cake. It’s just like packing up the cake and the box together and taking them away.

This is simply cutting off the retreat of other religions. Even those clown cults cannot accept this!

Therefore, the Twilight Cult appeared in front of the world with a strong attitude, and it must also be attacked and annihilated by the world without any bottom line, and must move forward under tremendous pressure.

Take this path.

It is inevitable that it will make the whole world its enemy, withstand enormous pressure, slap the influence of the Twilight Cult in everyone's face, and ultimately completely reap the faith of the whole world.

This is also Ling Lu's real goal. He knows very well that a religious victory cannot lead to any partial victory. He must fight his way out and take the whole world into his hands. Only then can he achieve real victory.

After the court trial, the Western Alliance no longer dared to do anything to the Twilight Cult.

After all, the Twilight Cult has now completely won the support of the entire Western Alliance society. This pressure alone is enough to force some politicians to give up confronting the Twilight Cult, not to mention that Ling Lu’s previous words in court did have an impact on them. Being infamous for thousands of years is something that not everyone can withstand.

Thus, Ling Lu and Aponia were able to return to the Dusk Cathedral on Dusk Street as everyone expected.

Ling Lu himself officially obtained a legal seat in the Western Alliance as the Pope of the Twilight Church, and the Twilight Church also became an officially recognized religion.

And what follows is undoubtedly the most critical link in the development of this religion.

Since ancient times, wars between religions have been the bloodiest and most cruel wars. Believers can really beat each other's brains out for their beliefs.

Whether it is the Crusades or the modern national confrontations caused by religion, they all highlight the most essential fact of religious wars - that is, blood, madness and cruelty.

After all, what can most ignite the enthusiasm of the human race is emotion. Once an emotion is ignited, it will spread rapidly and madly. As one person after another is affected, the fire of emotion can no longer be extinguished.

When facing a person who is affected by emotions, you may be able to convince him through words, but when facing a group of people who are affected by emotions, the only result is that you are convinced by them physically.

Human emotions have always been the most dangerous weapons, and can be called the nuclear bombs of psychology.

Religion is undoubtedly the existence that can ignite human emotions most quickly and on the largest scale.

Because the essence of religion is to control human emotions and eliminate human rationality, it can be called a large-scale brainwashing technology.

This leads to the situation that religious confrontations can easily escalate to a level that is incomprehensible in ordinary wars. Even the extremely high casualty ratio that is enough to end a conventional war cannot completely end a religious war.

However, this also means that the constraints of religion will be very exaggerated. Once we can truly integrate the religions of all mankind and make all mankind believe in the same faith, then mankind will truly achieve unprecedented unity.

Ling Lu felt very regretful about the ending of the Tyrant Route.

His regret was not about his final outcome. After all, it was just a simulation and had no impact on him. After the restart, everything would be over.

What really made Ling Lu feel regretful about that route was that he was ultimately unable to truly unite humanity.

Is it really true that humans are incapable of achieving unity?

Is there no way to bring internally confused, differently-minded human beings to true agreement?

At that time, Ling Lu couldn't think of a good way to do this, but now, after confirming the religious victory route, he found that there seemed to be a chance to do it this time.

After all, the essence of humanity's inability to unite is the confusion of thought. It is difficult for the thoughts of various countries and nations to achieve true unity, and they still regard each other as enemies.

In this case, this round, with the help of Aponia's ability, a religion is forcibly created that everyone in the world is forced to accept, so that all human beings have the same faith.

This may lead to a kind of 'alternative' solidarity.

Of course, this kind of unity is not a normal form in any way, but it doesn’t matter. It’s just an attempt anyway. If there is a problem, it will only be the collapse of this simulation route.

Gotta give it a try, right?

And there is another advantage to establishing a religion, which is that Ling Lu can be completely isolated from the existing political system and does not need to get involved in those messy political struggles.

Compared to every previous development where the first problem encountered was endless political struggles, this time the identity of the Pope allows Ling Lu to not worry too much about the secular attitude.

Although religion cannot be separated from the secular world, it itself is still independent of the secular world.

Of course, this means that it will become somewhat difficult for Ling Lu to influence politics in the future, and it will be more difficult to influence political decisions around the world.

And at this moment.

After watching the entire court debate, Dr. Mebius fell into deep thought.

"Good fellow, Ling Lu is worthy of you. You can even fight your way out of such a messy environment as the Western Alliance. You are simply not a human being!"

In the last round of simulations, Mebius also tried the Western Alliance.

Therefore, she is very clear about how chaotic, disorderly and unorganized the Western Alliance is. It is simply a political union of many Western countries, without even a common program or common goals. It is just a superficial alliance, but in fact they are fighting for their own interests.

However, with the appearance of Ling Lu, the Western Alliance, which had no unity or cohesion, united for the first time.

In order to fight against their common enemy, the Twilight Cult, they completely put aside all their previous conflicts, cooperated with each other, and launched a fight against the Twilight Cult.

This in itself is an extremely incredible thing.

What is even more incredible is that in the face of this absolutely unfavorable situation, Ling Lu not only did not choose to give in and temporarily avoid the limelight, but instead chose to take this head-on confrontation as an opportunity, using a debate that attracted worldwide attention to overwhelm the United Government of the Western Alliance and further expand the influence of the Twilight Cult.

Other religions originally entered the scene at this time in order to further gain more political power and resources, but as a result of participating in this trial, they lost the more important support of the people.

The power of religion comes from the amount of faith, so rather than gaining support from the upper echelons, what they really need to focus on is the number of supporters at the grassroots level.

The wave of trials not only failed to overwhelm the Twilight Cult, but instead caused a surge in the number of its supporters, while the number of supporters of other religions dropped significantly.
