Chapter 167: Ambition
This magical and strange phenomenon will naturally send a shiver down many people\'s spines simply because it felt like a being, an omnipotent being, was orechesting this.
The human heart is very fickle, especially when it is things related to their life; all rationality leaves their mind; very few could maintain their rationality during such a situation.
"This... This is God\'s gift to all of us."
"God\'s grace!"
Countless people bowed as they shivered while countless conjectures formed in people\'s minds.
But one saying became very popular on the internet as well as in the real world, spreading rapidly from one continent to another at a speed that couldn\'t be compared.
Until every single child and their mothers knew about it.
"The Apocalypse was the wrath of the gods, and the gods have forgiven their sins now, while the devil who caused all this was... Ray."
This was pushed as if by a hidden hand working in the background, overnight.
….
Ray slowly walked out of the room with a satisfied expression.
Elaria lay on the bed with her arms stretched far apart, her pupils rolled with her tongue out.
A silly smile graced her lips as she giggled in ecstacity.
The squirrel looked at this while avoiding her figure.
"This girl is the container of my master; how disappointing." She muttered with a squeak while shaking her chubby mouth.
"Ray, you need to look at this?" Freya spoke with a serious tone; she gave a notebook to Ray.
"Hmm?" Ray raised his brows. "Is it about the trees and plants that suddenly came to this world?"
"Don\'t worry, I already know about that."
He said with a chuckle.
"Do you also know about the rumour circulating around the internet?" Shelly\'s expression became even more serious.
She naturally knew about the terrifying strength of Ray and assumed that Ray knew the situation of the outside world because he naturally has some means even if he spent the entire night spending time with the girl.
"What rumour?" Ray asked curiously.
"Here," Shelly showed her the large tab with a big logo of a black trident behind it.
Ray glanced at it and immediately nickered.
"Classical move to spread propaganda." He replied with a sneer on his face.
"What do you mean?"
"These are things being pushed upon by the other; at first it was spread to a few groups of people; of course they were doubtful about this, but because this was so unreal that it became interesting and gradually rumour spread everywhere."
"Especially on the Internet, where all sorts of lies are spread, this type of unrealistic thought will become even more popular."
Ray sneered.
This was exactly something that was used to spread hate and use it to discriminate against people.
Quite a common tactic in the modern world, but...
"After the Apocalypse, someone dares to show hate towards me?"
Ray\'s eyes squinted in contemplation. This type of person would not be needed in his city.
He wouldn\'t tell he was an absolute angel, but Ray wanted to build his empire upon this world; then he might even go to conquer other planets.
"There are other living beings in outer space, although I don\'t have a clue how they could escape our radar that we have sent for so long, but there are definitely lives out there."
Ray looked through the window with a reminiscent gaze; his gaze turned back to the door he just came from.
"Elaria, you are the key to me conquering this planet."
He felt a little ambition grow within him. The flames of ambition burnt within him.
Ray would definitely enjoy his life; however, at the same time, he would never lose that drive to grow stronger and stronger.
He did like peace; however, peace is only made with whoever has a bigger fist!
If you don\'t have a bigger fist, don\'t expect others to be peaceful.
"They shall all die."
…
On one of the continents, there was a secret meeting that was being held.
There was a gathering of some sort with people in black coats slowly appearing in what seemed like a council.
There were numerous seats, counting up to 108 seats in total, and everyone silently sat on it in their black suits.
Whether it was women or men, they were all wearing long coats and giant black glasses that completely covered them.
Not even their skin tone or even the eyes could be seen at first glance.
While everyone filled the 107 seats, one seat remained empty for a long time.
Until a sound made by heels sounded in the tiles as a white-coated woman appeared.
"Have everyone arrived?" She spoke with a smile gracing her lips.
"Yes."
Everyone spoke in unison.
"Good, there have been some unfortunate circumstances where a brat started to create a safe haven for the entire people after the Apocalypse, and now the entire continent is pretty much in his hands now." The woman in the white coat casually sat in the last seat, right in the middle of it.
"We are people who have ruled this world since aeons ago; our ancestors are the ones who shaped the world."
"We cannot let a brat take hold of this world."
"Then what are you supposed to do?" One of the men in black spoke with a deep voice, "That "brats" power is simply terrifying, even if we have some S-class Awkener, so what? Don\'t forget the information we have."
"Even those so-called "divine organisations" were not able to accomplish anything, and they had double-digit S-class Awakeners. How do you think we can solve this problem?"
The white-coat women paused for a second.
"I have spread rumours about him; we can destroy him emotionally; no matter how invincible he appears to be, I don\'t believe that he doesn\'t have any weakness." She spoke with sneer.
Everyone became silent; they looked at the earth.
"How sure are you that this plan will work instead of poking a hornet\'s nest?" One of the women extended her hand and spoke with a look of interest.
"It should work; for these so-called ordinary people, the most important thing they have is moral. They think that just because they have morals, they become great people and always abide by the agreement, but for us, it doesn\'t matter as long as we could have the power to rule this world and a handle in Ray, this would be beneficial for us."
The white-coated woman shouted with a confident tone, her cherry lips biting against each other.
Everyone became silent as if they were nodding in agreement with Ray.
At this time, suddenly a knock came to their doors.
Silence!
A strange silence permeated the surroundings; everyone\'s heart seemed to shoot through the roof as if instinctively palpitating, and this palpation grew louder and louder.
"Who is it?" The white-coated woman narrowed her eyes. She took out her katana that was at her waist.
"I am your dad."
The door was casually kicked, revealing a blood-soaked young man swaggered into the place carrying two severed heads in front of him.
The two severed heads had their eyes still open wide with sheer horror and terror reflecting in their eyes; it showed how terrifying their end moments were.
"Who are you?"
The white-coated woman spoke while taking out her katana from her sheath.
"Interesting weapon of choice you got there, but it\'s not enough."
The blood-soaked young man smiled, showing his pearly white teeth in the most innocent form possible, but for his blood-soaked body, he looked nothing sort of like a monster, a horrifying monster.
"You will regret this." She swiped her katana towards Ray in a lightning-quick manner.
A wind arc rapidly travelled towards him at a speed greater than a bullet.
"You are threatening me with a sword?"
The young man shook his head with a mocking expression, and before it could even reach him, it dispersed in the air.
"How is this possible?"
She shouted in shock, sending wind arcs upon wind arcs almost continuously, but it never hit the youth, dispersing before even reaching him.
"Didn\'t you guys call me, and now I am here? Is this how you treat your guests?"
Ray spread his hand with a smile on his face.
The white-coated woman froze on the spot, her pupils dilating.
"Hahaha, if anyone runs, I will kill them." Ray put her to the side and sat at the seat. "This seat is quite comfy, isn\'t it?"
The white-coated woman regained her calm and spoke with a calm tone: "What do you want?"
"You spread a bit of a rumour about me; what was it about? Me being a devil, isn\'t it?" Ray slumped his shoulder on the chair. "Should I show you how the real devil will work?"
In an instant, everyone in the room felt a shiver down their spine, with nobody daring to speak.
