God of Internet

Chapter 71: Invasion



When I saw those things falling from the sky like meteors, I felt that something was very wrong.

I felt that there was a strange power source inside each of those meteors.

Surprisingly, one of those meteors fell on Aetheris, on the other side of the land, but from what I sensed, still within the borders of Aetheris, causing Lucy to look at me in confusion, waiting for an answer.

"Let's investigate." I said as I began to fly in the direction the meteor had fallen.

Even though I only had a little over 2 million Divine Power Points left for a possible battle, I was so curious and worried about these things that I wanted to investigate them further.

The time it took us to fly from one end of Aetheris to the place where the meteor fell, using only a small amount of Divine Power to increase our speed, was only 20 minutes, not a lot of Divine Power for how much we were earning now, but for low-ranked Embryonic Deities, this Divine Power was already a lot!

Although those 20 minutes seemed like a short time, it was enough to make the scene we saw before us shocking!

In front of us was a small village of a few hundred people.

Unlike the warm and fuzzy feeling I had when I saw such a village, what I saw now was just chaos and horror!

Red-skinned people were running after normal-skinned people like zombies running after the living, and from what I saw, when one of these people attacked one of the normal people, with a simple bite from these red skinned people, the normal people started screaming in pain, while I could feel this strange power coming out from whoever bit them, eating away at something in the normal people's bodies and turning them into red creatures like this!

This was practically a zombie apocalypse in front of me!

"Do you know what that is?" I asked Lucy, not knowing what it was.

"I think I know..." Lucy said in a slightly scared voice. "That red skin, a strange power in their bodies very similar to Divine Power, that corrosion of their minds and their transformation into practically cannibals... there's only one answer to that... demons!"

When I heard the last word of what she said, I was shocked.

Demons, the creatures we were training to deal with, as well as other gods who weren't part of our divine alliance, were our greatest enemies.

Seeing what these creatures were doing to poor mortals made me angry, but I didn't rush to attack them.

"What can you deduce after seeing this?" I asked Lucy, knowing that her knowledge of demons was far greater than mine.

"That the demons that are invading are not very strong, since the mortals are still wearing only red skins, without any of the more prominent demon characteristics such as horns, tails, or wings. For that reason alone, I'm relieved that we might have a better chance," she explained. She explained, awakening a memory of the old Adrian in me and reminding me of the teacher's explanation on the subject.

Before I could ask any more, Lucy got a little impatient and asked me worriedly. "Can we deal with these demons?"

I thought for a second and nodded. "I believe that not only can we deal with these demons, but that we must deal with them."

With my confirmation, Lucy raised her hand and began to use her divinity to deal with these demons that were attacking ordinary people.

As for me, I knew that at this time, with plagues like this appearing in the world, since I had seen several meteors fall, I began to use my Divine Power to record what was happening and broadcast it on the Internet so that my believers could prepare for it, even though the cost of Divine Power to do something like this would be high, it would be better to spend a few thousand Divine Power points than to lose a few thousand believers to the demons...

=== 3rd POV (Divinity School) ===

"Captain Abraham, an irregularity has occurred in the examination of the students who will graduate this year!" A teacher with the Sergeant symbol on his chest urgently opened the door to Abraham's classroom.

If this were a normal situation, Abraham would be very unhappy, because the military hierarchy should be respected, and unless something very important happens, the respect of lower-ranking soldiers should be given to higher-ranking soldiers.

From what the sergeant said, it was obvious that this situation was very important, so Abraham ignored the disrespect and got up from his chair while walking at a fast pace to the test control room.

"I explained myself on the way." Abraham said in a grave voice.

As a Sovereign God, two great ranks above the Sergeant who was only a single God, the Sergeant had to work hard to keep up with Captain Abraham's speed.

"In the last few minutes, anomalies have been noticed on the small mortal world the students are using for the test." The Sergeant said, trying to keep up with the Captain. "According to our reading of the data and the results of our investigations, these anomalies are demons that have obtained the coordinates of this small world and have decided to invade the place."

Hearing the sergeant say that the demons were responsible for this anomaly made Captain Abraham even more concerned, and he accelerated even more, to the point where the sergeant couldn't keep up and he disappeared through the school, reappearing shortly thereafter in the test control room.

Upon entering the room, Abraham saw Aubrie and nodded to her as he sat down next to her.

"Demons invaded the little world?" He asked for confirmation.

Aubrie nodded, keeping a cold, serious expression on her face. "Yes, thirteen capsules of demonic power were sent to the mortal world, with the largest capsule being sent to the realm of student Eyron Swiftgale."

"Did we find out why?" Abraham asked curiously.

Aubrie nodded. "At the time of the invasion of these pods, young Swiftgale was fighting another god in enemy territory. When he returned, he discovered that the king of his kingdom had made a deal with the demons after Swiftgale accidentally killed his wife in a show of power to gain the respect of the people."

Abraham shook his head in disappointment. "How did this king get the contract with the demons?"

"We don't know yet." Aubrie also shook her head. "But with the demonic power that came through the largest capsule, the king gained the power equivalent to a rank 1 embryonic deity, and with the sacrifices he made by turning the entire capital of the kingdom into demons, his strength quickly rose to rank 6, causing him to take advantage of the weakness of Swiftgale, who had just returned from a battle against another young god, and defeat him, sending his consciousness back to the divine world."

Upon hearing this, Abraham became very concerned. "He defeated the god of his realm and now has access to a realm without gods, since young Swiftgale had already defeated the god of that realm... that's worrying... what about the other twelve smaller capsules that fell into the mortal world?"

"So far we only have information on four of those capsules, some were opened by mortals who turned into demons and started causing chaos, others were secured by more attentive young gods, and other capsules whose fate is still unknown." Aubrie explained everything they knew so far.

Listening carefully, Abraham was so worried that he didn't know what to think, except that he planned to send a god to deal with these demons.

But when he saw that Aubrie wasn't shaken, he became curious. "Do you have any idea how to deal with this?"

Aubrie nodded her head and explained her thought process. "If this were like the other tests we've done, I'd say we should just send a teacher into the mortal world and let the teacher deal with these demons and let the test continue as if nothing had happened. But maybe that's not necessary.

Hearing this, Abraham was confused as to the reason for Aubrie's confidence.

Looking at the test as a whole, few really new things had happened, except for a certain God...

"Are you thinking of keeping the test as if nothing had happened?" Abraham asked.

"Yes." Aubrie replied.

"Do you want to use these demons to raise young Innovashine?" He asked.

Aubrie nodded. "With an elemental god in the test, he has enough ease to deal with the demons if he prepares well. Considering the likelihood that he'll score high in the test and receive the rank of Corporal, experience in dealing with demons could be very good for his future career."

Abraham nodded after hearing this, agreeing with Aubrie. "But you know that other young gods can be defeated by demons in this time, right?"

She just nodded, not caring in the least. "If they're so weak that they can't handle weak demons, then they don't deserve the special promotion that passing the test would bring."

Although Aubrie's words were harsh, Abraham agreed.

If the students couldn't show why they deserved special promotions in the army, it only meant that they weren't really special.

"You know that if everyone fails, we'll be blamed, right?" Abraham asked Aubrie one last time, but she just nodded confidently, so he nodded back and announced their decision to the other teachers.

When the teachers heard the two Captains' decision, most of them were shocked, as this could easily get out of hand and cause all the students to fail the test, with some possibly even dying or being seriously injured, but since the two Captains had the highest ranks in the room, they just obeyed and continued to observe how the students would deal with this crisis.
