2: Underneath A Thousand Skies

237 This Psychopathic Demon Is Psychic (59)

Song Jia pursed her lips. "I heard that when various players in virtual reality attacked the citizens of Manzusha, they also died in real life. So those dead players actually got their consciousness trapped here by Xu Jinhai and were brainwashed to believe that they were 'angels.'"

Nova nodded.

Song Jia rubbed her forehead. "In summary, Xu Jinhai got everyone to roleplay as angels and demons, even dragging souls in the underworld to play with him. Acting like a chuuni [2], isn't he just bored?"

"Well, the male god was indeed bored to death. One reason he stayed asleep for far too long in the real world was because he felt everyone around him was boring."

Song Jia, "..."

Xu Jinhai, you are really capable.

"So what do you want us to do here?" Song Jia directly asked Nova. "You sent me here for what reason exactly?"

At this point, Nova naturally couldn't say that he just sent her here to fall in love with the male god. So he avoided the main reason and told her the side-objective for bringing her here.

"We need Xu Jinhai to wake up."

The four main planets were united in an alliance, but no cooperation of strong powerhouses could last forever. There were already disputes breaking out between the planetary systems, and if this continues, a galactic war would soon break out.

Yueji worshipped its gods, especially the golden princess and the war god. In Yujinxiang, APHI called the shots, but she was still a loyal disciple to her creator.

Danshen was a chaotic wasteland of immortal monsters who obeyed no one, but they did have a previous ruler capable of controlling all of them.

Manzusha also has a shadow king who kept his identity hidden in mystery.

That is...

If the planetary systems changed from an unstable confederate alliance to a united empire, this would definitely be a good thing. All of their disputes could be solved peacefully. The only problem was that they needed to nominate a monarch that all planetary systems would agree to choose.

And this new monarch also can't be a weak chicken, who any Tom, Dick, and Harry can just challenge easily. If they got assassinated and killed by a rebellious third party, then the galactic empire would descend into chaos, which is the worst case scenario.

Electing the male god as the emperor of the galactic empire was the only solution.

After all, he had already once ruled all of these main planets.

Nova had also discussed this with various ambassadors from the four planetary systems, and it got an unanimous vote of agreement.

The problem was, the male god in the real world was still in a coma and refused to wake up.

Of course, the one that was comatose in the real world was Xu Jinhai.

"Isn't it better if he stays asleep?"

Song Jia didn't want to play the devil's advocate, but she had no choice but to point out the flaws for this kind of plan.

"You said that if he loses control over his power for a moment, everything would be doomed."

Xu Jinhai's psychic powers were too powerful, and it was like a ticking time bomb if he awakens in the real world. At least if he stays asleep, even if a galactic war breaks out soon, it was better than having the world decimated because Xu Jinhai sneezed and accidentally used his psychic powers to blow the world in half.

"You think too much. Although his psychic powers are extraordinary, it wouldn't be that easy to destroy the four planetary systems in a single sneeze. And even if the male god loses control, isn't there you?"

What problem of losing control, as long as Song Jia was there, the male god would behave even if he didn't want to behave. She was more effective than a dog leash or a remote control.

Song Jia, "..."

She was rendered speechless.

What kind of weird solution is this?

[1] Believe me, I counted.

[2] Chūnibyō (ちゅうにびょう), a Japanese term used to describe early teens who have grand delusions, and has edgy and pretentious behavior. It can also be called as 'eighth-grader syndrome,' and the Chinese equivalent is 中二病 (zhōng'èrbìng).

...

Little theater:

Song Jia: Isn't he too powerful? The male god had even exceeded Superman!

Nova: He is no longer a Gary Stu, he is Baby Jesus.
