Overgod Ascension

Redbud Federation, capital.

Inside the Presidential Office.

There was a blizzard blowing outside the window, and the heating inside was turned up to the maximum, making people feel like they were being steamed by a heat wave.

Outside the secretary's office, a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, wearing a black trench coat and a stern face, was waiting uneasily.

"Okay, how many times have I told you!"

A few hours later, the door opened and a presidential secretary came out: "The president is very busy and doesn't have time to listen to a special report by a little police inspector like you! You should go find your boss!"

"I've looked for it!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, but he was anxious at this time: "But our heads didn't listen to me at all, and completely ignored the information that our brothers had suffered heavy casualties in exchange for. Mal, you are my best friend." , you will believe me, look..."

He couldn't wait to show a large stack of documents, which were all about some supernatural events, or the horrific destruction that occurred during the pursuit of criminals. On the top page, there were rumors about the Three-Eyed Cult and the Lion Monster. The lion's The body was also photographed.

"Lucius, you are indeed my best friend, otherwise do you think you can sit here safely?"

Mal shook his head and said in a hurried tone: "You just need to know that I have a great future. It's all I can do to tell our secretary-general for you. What do you want me to do? Go directly to the president and say that there is a guy who wants to tell me You tell me something about 'non-human beings'... Haha! Do you want me to be laid off?"

"I'm sorry..." Lucius' face was slightly red, knowing that he was being forced into something difficult.

"and……"

Mal flipped through the documents he brought: "There is insufficient evidence. S-class criminals already have strong abilities, and it cannot be proven that they are connected with supernatural abilities... Look, isn't this just a lion? It's just a little bigger. Just a little bit!"

"What the hell!"

Lucius was in a very bad mood: "Have you ever seen a lion skin that can't even be penetrated by bullets? It's a pity that this incident happened in the Kingdom of Golden Oak, otherwise I would definitely get that skin and shut you up." !”

"Alright alright!"

Mal put his hands into his trouser pockets helplessly: "I have already reported it for you. My head asked you to wait until now, and then let me tell you that he is not available, and you can make another appointment! Sorry... "

"sorry!"

Lucius also knew how much pressure this friend was under. He said firmly: "But one day, you will find that I am right! The International Special Search Division is no longer enough to face the severe situation with frequent non-human beings. We A stronger, more responsive organization is needed!”

"Let's talk about all this after you become the top officer of the Special Investigation Division!"

Mal was speechless.

"I go first……"

Lucius was silent for a moment, and then walked out of the official office, his figure disappearing into the heavy snow, looking a little desolate.

…

Whoops!

In the heavy snowfall, Lucius came to a research institute on the outskirts of the capital.

This research institute is not only very small in scale, but also looks very dilapidated. The brass door plate is crumbling in the strong wind, with a bit of patina on the side, and the words "Abnormal Human Research Center" can be vaguely seen.

"Teacher, I'm back!"

Inside the institute, the old-fashioned boiler roared, making people worried whether it would fall apart in the next moment.

In the center of the laboratory, there is an old white man with white hair, staring at a microscope attentively.

"It's Lucius!"

The old professor turned around and rubbed his eyes. The white coat on his body seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and the collar was full of filth, but his spirit was very good: "What you brought this time is very valuable! "

He said in a fanatical tone: "This world is full of mysteries. Whether it is the giant wolf in the Siberian forest, the mermaid in the deep sea, or the supernatural beings among us humans, they all have one thing in common, that kind of The inducement that induces them to mutate and gain supernatural abilities, I call it the X factor. Unfortunately, there is currently no experiment that can prove the existence of the X factor unless I am given a living specimen..."

"Sorry, teacher!"

Lucius said with shame: "This time the lion monster sample of the Three-Eyed Sect was detained by the Golden Oak Kingdom!"

It was really a pity for him, after all, this was the closest thing to an abnormal sample.

"Our Redbud Federation has completely abolished the monarchy through revolution and advocates science and freedom..."

The old professor said another thing: "Because of this, in terms of recognition of the mysterious side, it is inferior to the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Pandor Empire. Even religion cannot develop. This is a good thing for liberating the mind, but There are also disadvantages..."

"You mean..."

Lucius was surprised: "Does the Golden Oak Kingdom also have an institution that specializes in studying the supernatural, and does it have official support?"

"I have a few good friends who communicated through telegrams and exchanged some opinions on this aspect... From their few words, I have a feeling that the Golden Oak Kingdom is far ahead of us in research on this aspect. !”

The old professor smiled bitterly: "Of course, it is also possible that I am too worried. After all, the Golden Oak Kingdom and our federation have only ended the war a few years ago, and it is inevitable to be full of hostility. Who makes the International Special Search Division claim to be International inspector, but the headquarters is located in the Redbud Alliance?"

Lucius was silent.

In this world, the three largest and most powerful countries were the first to complete the steam revolution and industrialization. Pandor and Golden Oak were an imperial system and a constitutional monarchy. Only the Bauhinia Alliance completely overturned the corrupt rule of the king. Became the pearl of freedom.

But at this time, with many colonies and even a bunch of monarchies surrounding them, even the people of the Federation themselves felt a little worried.

In a world with many lunatics, the only normal person will be regarded as an alien!

…

Almost at the same time, within the Golden Oak Kingdom.

"Our kingdom is not ignorant of the supernatural world?"

Wu Ming stared at the Lord Kingdom in front of him. He could not see the emotions or anger clearly on his face, and there was no look of worry or panic.

‘Being able to completely hide emotions to this extent, even some old foxes in politics cannot compare to him! ’

Andaniel marveled in his heart, but said in a proud tone: "Of course! The strength of the kingdom is not what you can imagine now! Although those idiots in the Bauhinia Federation keep shouting that we are a decadent and backward system, But what do those nouveau riche with no history know?”

"Because our nobles and royal family have a long heritage, even after the catastrophes of the dark ages, we still have a certain understanding of supernatural powers. Although some people are doubtful, as long as there are still people who believe, support the establishment of several research institutions , it’s nothing at all…”

"With the help of the kingdom's machines and the latest steam computers, they have made some discoveries."

Andaniel deliberately stopped here and looked at Wu Ming expectantly.

Who knew that Wu Ming just said "Oh" lightly without any expression at all.

He didn't know what happened to other aliens, but the priest's magic here was completely based on spiritual power, faith as a channel, and was given to the priest by the main god space.

The priests and paladin themselves are just large signal receivers. At most, their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, but if they are not high-level, they are still within the range of normal people, unless the kingdom's technology has advanced to the point where it is comparable to that of Wu Ming's butler's brain must be of a very high level, otherwise it would be damning what he would be able to research.

The spiritual realm is still beyond the scope of the current material world.

On the other hand, if any vampires, werewolves, etc. were captured and sliced ​​for study, it would still be very possible to find something.

"Well, it's really boring, Mr. Pope!"

Seeing Wu Ming's unyielding attitude, Lord Andaniel could only surrender first: "I want to join the Redemption Church, but I don't know what conditions are required?"

"Oh? Why do you have this idea?"

Wu Ming smiled.

"Of course this is because this church seems to have a strong background, and I am also very interested in the rumored stamina of those paladins!"

Andaniel gave a knowing evil smile of a man: "Of course, I heard from Carter that those priests will have all kinds of magical abilities in the later period. I want the glory of the God of Redemption to spread on my family. Is there no problem? "

No matter how unruly he is, he is still a nobleman and has to consider his family and interests.

‘It seems like...this Lord Andaniel might be just a test! ’

Wu Ming's heart moved: 'Is it possible to test whether the church is true through a lord? Even if it's not the entire kingdom behind him, it must be some big noble! ’

But this matter didn't do any harm to him.

Wu Ming's greatest reliance is that his 'God of Redemption' is real and can protect the souls of believers and bestow magical powers on a large scale. This is something that no other religion can match.

Another point is that his church's teachings are legal, and so are the approval procedures. They are always aboveboard, and they are not afraid of any investigation.

'Originally, I thought that when the church develops to this scale, it is time to settle down, quietly accumulate, and lay a solid foundation. But now, if there is a big noble family supporting behind the scenes, at least within the Golden Oak Kingdom, it will be possible to spread as much as possible. Not a problem anymore! ’

Anyway, it was just a thought for him to promote a paladin.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming had already agreed in his heart, but he still said: "I personally welcome your joining, Lord, but the God of Salvation has requirements. At the very least, you must understand the doctrine. Can you do it?"

He does not require Andaniel to become a devout believer, but at least superficial compliance, the level of a pan-believer, is still necessary. This is the rule!
