Chapter 431 – Cathulhu's Friend Awakens!

Divine Theocracy Earth

Hiiro hovered in the atmosphere, gazing at the blue planet. He smiled as he noticed a prototype spaceship coming out to space.

After the archangels shared their knowledge with every country, they provided countless materials and rare minerals from space, enabling new technological breakthroughs for humanity.

Gamers joined the game under the protection of the 11 angels. Many scientists and engineers took advantage of the game and intentionally chose to play custom UR classes.

Space engineers, researchers, and space miners became the most popular UR classes. As they came with futuristic skills and abilities, scientists united and extracted the game knowledge to apply to reality. Within a week, the first spaceship of mankind was constructed, and they immediately launched a test flight.

Had Solomon never threatened Earth, the capitalist elites would have continued to abuse the financial system and bleed many countries. Hiiro admired how every country cooperated and achieved the impossible within a week.

"Wars really drive technologies and scientific breakthroughs. It's a pity that they realize their potential too late."

Hiiro turned around and gazed into the void. He stared at the massive portal at the corner of the solar system, which had been there since yesterday.

Just a few minutes ago, a huge yellow planet emerged from that portal. Then, like a comet, it beelined toward Earth.

'Houston to Thunder God. Can you read?'

The voice of a coordinator on Earth came from the earplugs in Hiiro's ears. Hiiro stopped what he was doing and brought out a tablet. He texted to reply as he could not use a mic in the space.

"I can hear you. It's a bit static, though."

'Good. Just want to ask. How far can you see in space?'

"I can see every asteroid in the solar system."

'Then, can you see that huge portal and the incoming yellow star behind Mars?'

Hiiro was surprised. It just appeared yesterday, but the humans already found them.

"Yes, I can see them."

'How big is it? We have our info, but we wish to compare it with your estimation.'

"That yellow star? That's definitely 100 times larger than the Sun. Also, it's coming for us."

'… I see.'

The coordinator paused for a long time. A few minutes later, a new voice replaced the previous guy. A haughty voice of an American with a Texan accent entered Hiiro's ears.

'This is Commander-in-Chief of the United States Space Force. Mister Thunder God, our scientists have calculated that the motherfucking yellow Pokeball will hit Earth within two hours. Do you think you can do us a favor and destroy that thing?'

Hiiro wryly smiled, "Why don't you ask the archangels? They're stronger than me."

'We already did. They said that it's impossible since a goddamn Greek god is driving that thing.'

"Greek god? Which one?"

'Zeus.'

"…"

'Ironic, isn't it?'

Thunder God was the call sign that the United Nation came up with for Hiiro as his surname "Narukami" translated to God of Lightning, thunder, and storm. As ironic as the general said, Zeus was also known as the God of Thunder.

"I guess I have to solo Zeus for you?"

'If those lazy angels mess up, you will be the last line of our defense. You don't have to destroy the damn thing. Actually, the scientists want you to move Earth out of that star's trajectory. Can you do it?'

Again, Hiiro bitterly smiled. He could do it, but it would be pointless. After all, if Zeus was behind that star, he could also change its trajectory.

"It will be pointless, though."

'I know. Even I can tell that it won't change the outcome, we want something to calm the mass. These days, every kid and their grandmother has WEBB telescopes. They see what we see.'

"Alright. I give the Earth some push. Don't blame me if I deviate from the orbit."

'Give it a nudge will do. No need to go ham.'

In short, the general just needed something to fool the press and the people. Hiiro deeply sighed and descended to earth.

"I'm coming back to earth. Tell me where I need to push."

Hiiro flew back to Earth and looked back at the incoming star. He noticed that 12 streaks of light already reached there to intercept the intruder.

RUMBLE

Suddenly, a billion humanoid giants came out of the same portal. They all had red fiery flame skin, and they followed the yellow star.

Xiaomao widened his eyes. He stopped descending and turned around.

"General, I'm sorry. Change of plans."

'What are you doing?! We need your help ASAP or the riot will ruin our operations!'

Hiiro clicked his tongue, "More intruders are flooding the solar system. I don't think the archangels can handle them alone. I'm going to help them!"

'THUNDER GOD! YOU NEED TO HOLD YOUR POSITION! THUNDER GOD!'

Hiiro took off the wireless earplugs and tossed them into the Earth's atmosphere. It rapidly descended and was burnt to ash.

The protagonist deeply inhaled. The next moment, semi-transparent white energy wings grew from his back, and Hiiro cut open dimension, using the technique that he had learned from Uriel.

The gap between dimensions was open. Hiiro pried it open and entered it. As soon as he came to the other side, Hiiro was already five million kilometers away from the yellow star and the battlefield.

Although five million kilometers seemed like a long distance, Hiiro felt like he was about to be burnt to a crisp. The yellow star was a massive gas-burning sun that repeatedly expelled solar flares, and the heat was unmeasurable.

RUMBLE

Moreover, the yellow star traveled faster than the speed of light. Within five seconds, it was so close to Hiiro that the gas star's gravity pulled him toward it.

Hiiro panicked. He bellowed and unleashed his domain.

Like a lightning god, another static dome covered Hiiro, creating another magnetic field. He pushed himself away from the gravity force.

As Hiiro tried his best to flee from the yellow star, it suddenly changed its trajectory and came for him. Moreover, a pair of red eyes locked on to him. Red numbers and texts also showed his identity.

Zeus, the Lightning Sage, Level 777,777

"!!!"

Hiiro witnessed the living nightmare. His level had just crossed 10,000 yesterday, but his opponent was a sage!

"HIIRO! GET AWAY FROM THERE!"

Hiiro heard the voice transmission from Uriel, who was still disguised as Mao Miaomiao. The former bit his lower lips.

"I wish. But how am I going to get away from here?"

Despaired, Hiiro turned around to flee. He gathered his power in his hand, planning to cut open dimensions and leave this battlefield.

But as he was about to use the ability, he noticed the blue light in the depth of darkness.

It was the reflected light from Earth.

Earth was over there?

"…"

Countless emotions and thoughts flooded Hiiro's mind. A second passed in reality, but he experienced a flashback of his past experience, memory, and encounters.

The days he spent with his family…

The days he struggled in school…

The first day he got his hands on the game console…

The Beta Test experience, where he encountered Mao Miaomiao and everybody…

The beta test aftermath when Pan Xian restored his memory and offered him a job…

The game experience in game world number one…

The successful career as a pro gamer and the delusion…

The smiles of his family…

The dungeon raid, the death of many creatures…

The day he questioned his career choice…

The time he was captured by Devil and her words…

What was he fighting for?

For glory?

For money?

For fame?

No

That blue light…

That planet…

Didn't he join the game to get a superpower?

What is the superpower for?

Definitely not for glory…

Definitely not for money…

And definitely not for fame…

That superpower is for one thing…

That smile…

The smiles of his parents, his sister, his friends at school, his neighbors…

They are waiting for him at home.

That planet… their home!

Hiiro lowered his hand. He turned around, glaring at Zeus with bloodshot eyes.

That's right.

He wished for power, and he now has that power…

THE POWER TO PROTECT THOSE SMILES!

"You go no further…"

Hiiro's voice couldn't transmit in space, yet he muttered and pointed his palm at Zeus, ignoring the burning pain from the gas star.

"For their sake…"

His heart thumped and stopped beating for two seconds. However, the next beat awakened the heavenly fate crystal inside him.

DING

The system resounded in Hiiro's mind, but he didn't notice it. His mind was in overdrive mode, and his dantian universe reformed. Heat and magnetic force of the yellow star fueled the dantian crystal, giving birth to ten thousand black holes in Hiiro's universe.

Hiiro's pupils and iris turned pitch black. His semi-transparent wings turned bright, emitting electricity.

<The Heavenly Fate Crystal has resonated with your resolve!>

<You have awakened as Lightning Deity!>

Hiiro didn't notice that his level shot up to 99,999. He charged toward the incoming star.

His clothes and weapons were melted away, leaving him naked. However, Hiiro created a lightning hammer out of the surrounding magnetic force and slammed it on the giant before him.

BOOM!

Zeus, the colossus giant, raised his forearm and blocked the puny hammer attack from Hiiro.

Hiiro managed to get a closer look at the giant. He was bigger than Godzillas and Mount Everest combined, but Hiiro didn't care.

"FOR MANKIND'S SAKE! I WILL NOT FAIL!!"

The energy hammer of Hiiro exploded, knocking him away. However, the blast also pushed Zeus back one step.

DING

<The Heavenly Fate Crystal has resonated with your resolve!>

In Hiiro's dantian universe, spirits of lightning were born from black holes. They soon turned the magnetic field into gas stars like the yellow star.

Hiiro's level rose once again even though he hadn't broken through the sage realm yet.

Above his head, the number stunned Zeus.

Hiiro Narukami, the Earth's Lightning God, Level 99,999 (200,000)

Zeus narrowed his eyes. He created 10,000 lightning bolts in the sky, which surrounded Hiiro.

"I thought you were a small fry, but I was wrong. I accept your challenge, kid! BRING IT!"

Hiiro bellowed and created 10,000 lightning bolts as well.

The two gods of lightning crashed!
