I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 463: Changes on Earth

The disaster that was Typhon was finally over. Los Angeles was able to enter the post-disaster reconstruction phase safely.

Let alone the destruction of a part of Los Angeles, even terrible man-made disasters from World War II could be rebuilt.

With modern technology, it wouldn’t even take two months to restore Los Angeles to its original state.

Donations from all over the world poured in to assist with the reconstruction of Los Angeles. Christians donated money and goods in the name of religion, but also called on the faithful to volunteer in helping, so as to help the city regain its original appearance and allow the residents to forget their grief.

Eighty percent of the people of the United States of America were Christian. Although there were many denominations of Christianity, Christianity had been vigorously developed and spread after the emergence of supernatural powers, especially after the descent of Christ. The donors donated more than imagined, allowing religions to boom.

This was different from the religion of the dark times where the clergy scammed people out of their money. In a world where true Gods existed, it was impossible for religion to be separated from doctrine. Christianity was a religion of a good God, so as Christianity grew, the crime rate of the world would decrease. This was the power of faith with a true God.

In order to show the gift of God and to proclaim the doctrine of Christ, Christianity as a whole began to relentlessly engage in charitable activities all over the world. It was to the point that more and more people were attracted to change their religion.

This was only natural. Even with faith, people still needed to live. Christianity’s charitable activities and religious activities helped many people through difficult times, resulting in it gaining more faith.

Louie was happy to see this outcome. For him, there was no difference in the beliefs of the people of Earth. The reason why Louie created many different faiths on Earth was to prevent having a single god from creating decay in faith and to create conflicts.

In major religious texts, why were there trials and disasters imposed by those omnipotent gods upon humans? That was because solely granting people blessings and gifts would not gain their faith. Humans were creatures that easily indulged in pleasures and forgot their gratitude. The only way to remedy this was to use the carrot and the stick. Only then would they be reverent.

In today’s situation, Louie could be considered to have done a great job. He used a variety of natural disasters to cause the world to fear the supernatural as well as worship it. They would spontaneously pray to those gods that could protect them.

To put it bluntly, humans were selfish creatures. Other than true devotees, most human beings had motives for their faith.

In Los Angeles, citizens from all over the United States gathered spontaneously to bring flowers to places where people had died. Some even cried in front of the cemeteries and street baskets, weeping for their deceased loved ones.

The death and injury of more than 10,000 people that were caused by the disaster known as Typhon completely awakened the people.

In the past, although supernatural events were frequent, most of them did not involve the lives of ordinary people. Even the most tragic Tokyo incident did not have many casualties thanks to the intervention of the old man and the Torch Dragon.

However, the events that happened this time simply involved thousands of deaths and were labeled as a catastrophe in these peaceful times.

Typhon had displayed true terror. It caused volcanic eruptions and fought in a way beyond human understanding. The scene where it endured thousands of missiles without dying and eating a nuclear bomb was still vivid in the minds of the people.

If not for the Japanese Supreme God Amaterasu descending to defeat Typhon, perhaps the entire Los Angeles population would have perished. And if Typhon was allowed to continue its rampage, perhaps the entire North American continent would have been wiped out.

Typhon was known as the father of all demons in Greek mythology, and he could rival the Olympus Gods. If Typhon alone was able to destroy the world’s number one country, then what about those beings stronger than it? In mythology around the world, there was bound to be some existence stronger than Typhon even if there were not a lot. Moreover, there were descriptions of many slightly weaker demons. If they all came to Earth, then the world would be plunged into chaos.

After discovering that technological weapons weren’t effective, countries all over the world increased occultic research, but they did not expect that occultic research did not bear fruit and instead fed the field of science and technology.

Louie had created Typhon from flesh and blood of some magical creatures from San Soliel. Those creatures had special abilities different from that of Earth. While researching Typhon’s genes, human research truly discovered something.

As the saying goes, the stones of those hills may be used to polish gems. The study of biological genetic mapping from other worlds allowed Earth’s biology and medicine to gain progress. This was also considered an unexpected surprise.

Louie would not stop Earth’s scientific progress unless it developed to the level of the Terran Civilization. It posed little threat to a true god like him. With Earth’s current situation, it was hard to tell if it could evolve to the level of the Terran Civilization. There was even a high probability that mankind would self-destruct before it reached that level.

Regarding the tendency to create weapons that could kill themselves, humans had no equal.

In addition to increasing the research on occultism, the major countries began to pay more attention to faith. Many countries had made faith a daily activity.

Since humans were unable to fight monsters at the apex of mythology, they could only rely on the gods. This was what the top governments were thinking. If all the people believed in the gods, wouldn’t the gods also give their blessings when a real crisis comes? This was how it was written in many religious texts.

In the Buckingham Palace incident, there was a Celtic God who proposed to construct a magic formation in major countries. With this Typhon incident, the Chinese old man and the Japanese priest also mentioned this matter. As a result, the governments paid attention to this matter and finally used their national power to construct this magic formation that would cover the world.

These magic formations did not cover a huge area and only required minimal resources to create. Once the Earth was filled with these magic formations, Louie was finally able to complete this miraculous construction.

With this magic formation, the inert magic power of Earth could be easily utilized. Louie was also finally able to connect the souls of Earth’s believers to his divine kingdom. With Earth’s population, Louie’s divine kingdom could grow indefinitely once the dead souls of his believers assimilated within his divine kingdom. This would allow Louie to accomplish his next plan.

In the world of San Soliel, Louie’s followers were only a million, but on Earth, his followers had now reached hundreds of millions. It was a hundredfold difference. Even Louie exclaimed that Earth was truly a treasure that could help him become the god of gods.
