Chapter 25 - Chapter 25

How should Alexander end this?

To just kill him would put a bad example towards his goal to rule semi peacefully.

Taking away his power however would elevate his power to an unimaginable level.

[To kill you would be easy. That is the fate that will await any devil worshipers that will be hunted by my angel legion. You however will have a special place in history as the first idiot that went against Alexander the fluffy.]

Alexander had restricted his aura somewhat to not unintentionally exorcise the evil within the teen.

But that was his intention now.

To further dramatize the show, Alexander created a pillar out of his aura that came from a pseudo gate to heaven that he created just to deceive the people.

As it hit the teen, he screamed as loud as he could.

It continued for quite a while because Alexander kept the power of his aura in check.

Everyone watching looked at the agonizing scene that they were witnessing.

Most people had no idea what was going on at all.

Angels, gods, now people even got special abilities and could fly.

Everything seemed too surreal for the normal people to understand.

Only when the silly teen unleashed a dark beam attack were they somewhat taken back to reality.

This was not someone good. That power seemed evil.

It only served to show off Alexanders power.

After a minute of screams from the teen, the beam that came from above stopped and so also the screams from the teen.

He looked weak. As if every speck of mana and life force was ripped out of him.

[It would be a waste to kill you. Therefore, I exorcised the evil within you and made it so that you will never be able to kill an innocent person again.

Your soul will self-destruct when you try to do so.]

The teen that feared for his life a second ago and already had tears in his eyes feared even more for what this crazy god had in mind for his future. He knew that the god was right. It was easy to kill him.

Just what were his plans?

[I have to commend you for the talent of killing. Not everyone can slaughter so many people as you did. I will use that power for my advantage. You sin shall be forgiven, and you will join my ranks as an inquisitor. Your task is the same as my angels have. To hunt evil people like yourself so that they can do no harm anymore.

Remember that you can only kill evil beings anymore.]

Only one word could be heard from the teen. A loud "Fuck!"

The people watching. Especially those from the military could understand the teen.

Even if the military was not being punished right now. It was established that people would get punished if they worshipped devils and killed people.

The politicians and military officials did not have to think hard that people would also be punished if they started wars for dumb reasons.

Furthermore, the God Alexander messed up the soul of the teen.

It would self-destruct if he killed innocent people. That in itself sounded extreme.

What powers had the gods in comparison to normal people.

[The world will quickly change. More and more people will get powers from the other world and even in ours, people will develop certain talents as the mana increases.]

Alexander created a ten-meter holy sword and slashed in the air, creating a wave of energy that flew for a few kilometers before colliding with missiles.

[Here a little tip for the Americans. Resistance is futile and to throw bombs at gods is a no-no.]

From a missile silo that was operated by Americans in Germany, a few intercontinental missiles flew directly towards his destination in Berlin.

Alexander did not know that his map had a feature that detected incoming enemies, but missiles were classified as hostile towards him and therefore showed up on the map.

The German military officials nearly pissed themselves as they saw that Alexander had just singlehandedly destroyed over ten intercontinental missiles in one swing of his sword.

Now the Americans stepped over a threshold they should have never stepped over.

They ignored the pact made with Germany and violated its terms.

[I will stop for today and recede. My angels however will monitor this country and make contact with officials. I am sorry that I won't have time for everybody. In case anything bad happens, just pray.]

With a wink, Alexander vanished into thin air. His angels stayed for a few seconds after that and decided to fly away in different direction altogether.

The three that revealed their powers got sent away by Alexander to a remote location outside of the city.

In his human form, Alexander stood before the three just to make sure they were not having a mental breakdown or something.

"I just wanted to tell you for a second that you will not have to worry about your identities."

The three looked confused. They were on international streams and even TV. To go incognito now was impossible.

"Oh no-no, you do not have to be worried at all. I blurred your faces with holy light. Even your voices are altered a little bit and your names got bleeped.

I wanted to show the world what abilities are, not to expose your identities."

Alexander somehow seemed way friendlier than before. The three internally agreed upon that.

Markus and Alina had exchanged a few words while the third one got punished, they knew each other for now.

"Right little one. What is your name. I never got to ask it."

"J-Justin."

Justin still feared Alexander greatly. Even though he sounded nice now, the aura that he enveloped Justin in was not nice at all.

Even if he was a benevolent God, in Justin's eyes, he incorporated pain.

"I have changed your power system Justin. Before, you channeled your mana through the blood of others. Just try the same but with the sun and you are good."

Alexander looked at them and after a few words left.

He rushed home in his ethereal form to not arouse suspicion and entered silently.

***

Going into the kitchen to get a snack, Alexander found that the fridge was filled with his favorite food.

Everything was there to make some good curry.

His family was still inside the game, they did not witness the whole spectacle at the Bundestag.

He definitely had some explaining to do.

Taking a few snacks out of the fridge Alexander went to the living room and tried relaxing for a while.

Making so many swords strained his mana reserves and he was only slowly getting them back.

Alexander needed to come up with a reliable way to gather huge amounts of energy.

Munching on his snacks, Alexander took out his phone and began doing a little bit of damage control on the Forums.

He created a post explaining his reasoning for his government controlled by the gods and some demands to the players.

His post was also filled with information regarding mana and the history of the earth.

Especially a line he wrote in full caps read, "Do under no circumstances use the natural mana reserves of our world!!!".

He did not try to hide the intentions of the gods. They wanted to break the barrier.

Alexander did just not say that the way for that was the world core getting enough mana.

The world core was the only thing Alexander hid from the people.

Alexander only explained that the barrier reacted to the natural mana and that it would expel them.

So if anyone really wanted to try they could, but they would end up in space or needed to be rescued by the angels and enter heaven.

His post got recognition pretty fast.

In the forum options, Alexander set his name to God Alexander the fluffy and his race displayed divine being.

This gave his claims solid ground and the comments below the post exploded with massive texts of some people that saw the livestreams.

The news even spread to the other world as players were discussing the decent of a god in their world.

One in particular person this news reached was Joan, Alexanders mother.

She was in the capital of the high elves as the news reached her.

The players of the elf races were few, so everyone knew everyone.

From millions of players only about 100 got to be elves.

The community was so little that news spread faster about developments in their own world than through conventional news channels.

Magic compensated them here because they entered a hivemind mental link with everybody.

Elves had generally more control over mana than other races.

But only one elf was needed to create the mental link network. All others that came after were just nodes in the network that fed their mana into it to keep it working.

An elf called Alina broadcasted into the network that in their own world a wolf god descended and declared Germany as the first country that he took over.

The elves knew at this point that the game world was real and that they could use magic in their own. They just kept the fact secret because they were still weak and knew little of what to do with that power.

Alina described the encounter with the god as she was one that got cherry picked out of the crowd.

It was scary for her but after she saw through his intentions, he became less scary and cuter.

That's right. She was fangirling for the wolf god. The mental link allowed images to be shown to others, so when Joan saw the giant wolf form and saw the human form as well, without even thinking about it she cut the link and logged off.

Her son did something stupid and didn't even contact her after he disappeared all of a sudden.

She was not angry at him because he conquered his home country, she was livid because his family should have been the first to know of his ascension to godhood.

Joan already purchased a lot of food for when he would come back, but now she needed to prepare even more.

Casual curry was not appropriate for the occasion.

Running out of her capsule she searched the house for her son.

Only to find him lazing around on his phone in the living room.

Joan created a strong updraft that lifted Alexander up and in her arms.

"Welcome home my fluffy little boy"

Alexander was caught by surprise. He heard his mother storming down the stairs, but he did not expect to be lifted up by her.

"I am back Mom. You can stop strangling me now."

He smiled while trying to get a little space.

"How did you know I was at home? You practically ran in here."

Joan lay her hand on his head a rubbed it for a while.

"We elves have established a communication system on our own. One elf got into the game and told us of your appearance in Berlin. You scared the shit out of our little Alina."

First of all, what communication system did the crazy elves invent? And second, Alina was an elf?

That would explain her affinity for wind and her ability to fly even a little bit in our world.

"I'm sorry mom, it was necessary for Alina and the others do display a little bit of strength.

I could have picked more out of the crowd, but the others there were glad they were not lifted into the air.

They had the same feeling as when the teacher asks for homework but skipped you and just asked the smart kid. I did the same but for people who had abilities."

Joan could understand him. She would have to watch the full thing, but from what the images showed, it was a stressful event for every party involved.

Especially the punishment for the teen was harsh.

"Just tell me one thing. How the hell did you become a god? I thought you were an angel the whole time?"
