Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Xiao Yu could keenly sense that an undercurrent was surging beneath the seemingly calm surface of this planet. The rumors about the alien civilization's fleet and the approaching asteroid were spreading more and more across the internet, while in contrast, the government's denials appeared increasingly powerless.

The level of technology here was indeed somewhat more advanced than Earth's era, and in addition, Xiao Yu had not deliberately concealed his actions. Being discovered by certain people was within expectations.

The political system of this planet was not the same as on Earth; here, the government's control was much weaker. So there were constantly people who had uncovered the truth and possessed considerable professional knowledge stepping forward to refute the government's statements. Seeds of unrest were beginning to sprout.

"This doesn't matter," Xiao Yu thought with a faint smile. "A period of turmoil can bring me tremendous benefit. It will clear the obstacles for them to submit to me. Compared to this benefit, the population losses caused by unrest are within acceptable limits."

Xiao Yu continued strolling along the town roads of this planet, experiencing everything about this alien civilization: their social structures, their systems of knowledge, their joys and sorrows, loves and hatreds…

The brain of this body was constantly exchanging enormous volumes of data with the planet's internet. Whether it was the government networks, banking networks, or private security systems, everything was under Xiao Yu's control. Here, he was all-knowing and all-powerful.

Ahead, a vehicle similar to a car was speeding along. A young member of this civilization's intelligent species had inadvertently slipped from its mother's grasp and was toddling toward the center of the road. The car was about to hit the child. The surrounding crowd began to scream. A few adults made motions to run forward, but it was very clear that their speed was insufficient to save the child before the car struck.

At that moment, the body Xiao Yu was controlling extended a hand. With a casual lift of his arm, the speeding car abruptly rose about one meter into the air, neatly leaping over the child blocking the way, then settled back onto the road and continued driving ahead…

Accompanied by this action, all the onlookers were stunned in place. The child who had narrowly escaped disaster still stood there in a daze, until its mother ran over, scooped it into her arms, and began to sob uncontrollably.

"The weather is pleasant," Xiao Yu thought, feeling exceptionally good.

A man resembling a robber came charging toward Xiao Yu carrying a satchel. Behind him, a female intelligent being was crying in despair. A fat figure who appeared to be a policeman was panting heavily as he tried to give chase, but the distance was clearly widening, he would never catch up.

At that moment, Xiao Yu extended a hand. Instantly, the robber froze in place as if struck by a paralysis spell, standing motionless and vacant-eyed.

A disabled intelligent being of this civilization hobbled past Xiao Yu on crutches. Xiao Yu reached out his hand, and almost at once, the half-amputated leg regenerated completely. The being stared in disbelief, threw down its crutches, bent to touch the newly grown limb, and then suddenly burst into loud sobs.

Xiao Yu continued steadily forward.

Indeed, Xiao Yu was deliberately revealing miracles. Accomplishing these things was not difficult for him at all.

At this very moment, high above Xiao Yu, hundreds of devices built with cloaking technology were following him. Whether lifting the car to save the child, sending an electric current to temporarily paralyze a living being, or controlling nanobots to perform a limb regeneration surgery on a disabled person, none of it posed any difficulty for these machines.

Just as the undercurrent had formed and was about to surge forth, Xiao Yu was ostentatiously and openly displaying his extraordinary abilities. To these Level 2 Civilization beings, Xiao Yu was an omnipotent god.

Gradually, more and more people began to follow behind Xiao Yu. The growing crowd was utterly silent; not a single person dared to make a sound.

"Oh? Someone has already uploaded the video footage online? Very good, very good. The bigger the impact, the better. It would be best if it spread until everyone knew," Xiao Yu thought with satisfaction.

The sky had gradually darkened. Xiao Yu extended his hand, and the sky immediately became bright again. After that sun had set, another sun appeared out of thin air. It radiated exactly the same light as the real sun, illuminating the world as if it were daytime.

Many of this civilization's intelligent beings had already knelt down. Even more people pressed their palms together, tears streaming uncontrollably from their eyes.

More and more people were arriving, joining the crowd that followed Xiao Yu, quietly trailing behind him. Quite a few police officers had noticed the disturbance and hurried over, but after personally witnessing Xiao Yu's miraculous abilities, they too joined the silent throng following him.

"This civilization also has its own mythologies, and not just a few. There are three different creator gods alone… Hmm, the most famous one is a god named Trolor, who has the largest number of followers. The pose he most often adopts seems to be like this…"

Xiao Yu thought silently. In a plaza, he sat down cross-legged in the posture described in the myth of Trolor.

Countless intelligent beings of this civilization could no longer control their emotions and burst into tears. Without any need for organization, the crowd all began to sit down in the same posture as Xiao Yu. More people brought fresh water and flowers, placing them in front of Xiao Yu.

In just two hours, countless containers filled with pure water and brilliant flowers had piled up in front of Xiao Yu. According to this civilization's legends, Trolor loved fresh water and flowers above all else.

Xiao Yu simply sat there quietly. No one dared to approach within fifty meters of him.

Helicopters had begun to arrive in the sky. Countless journalists and soldiers gathered. The journalists were slightly more restrained, hurriedly filming Xiao Yu. The soldiers, however, since they had not personally seen Xiao Yu's miracles, were visibly unimpressed by this spectacle.

Xiao Yu saw that many soldiers had started roughly driving away the gathered crowd. Others carried weapons and were advancing on him with hostile intent.

The crowd instantly began to clamour, but more people still just quietly sat imitating Xiao Yu's posture.

"Great Trolor, Lord of All Things, have you finally descended into the mortal world?"

"What are you doing?! Don't you realize that the true god has appeared?"

"Damn you! The God of the Universe will punish you!"

Xiao Yu stood up and extended his hand again.

Countless cloaked robots swiftly snatched every weapon from the soldiers' hands and carried them over to Xiao Yu. Naturally, no one could see these robots, so in everyone's eyes, it looked like this.

Xiao Yu merely raised his hand, and countless black firearms flew in from all directions, gathering in front of him to form the shape of a large sphere.

Accomplishing this was very simple, a single microgravity explosive was sufficient.

Then, this large sphere began to shrink, gradually disappearing without a trace.

This too was simple, just a sweep of a material disintegration beam could revert all those objects into the simplest matter in the universe: hydrogen. Because hydrogen is so light, it quickly rose and dispersed into the atmosphere. No one would ever discover a clue.

It was yet another miracle.

Stripped of their weapons and having witnessed the miracle with their own eyes, the soldiers stood frozen in place. Military service could not erase the faith in the true god that was rooted in their hearts. One after another, these soldiers also knelt and prostrated themselves before Xiao Yu.

This entire scene was captured by the cameras in the journalists' hands. Xiao Yu knew that in the very next instant, these images would be transmitted by radio waves to every corner of the world. Soon, all people would know of his existence.

"The demon has already awakened. The world is on the brink of destruction. I cannot bear to watch my children perish, so I have descended in my true form to issue the final judgment. All who believe in me shall receive salvation. All sinners shall face judgment."

Looking at the endless multitudes prostrating themselves before him, Xiao Yu spoke in a resonant voice.

"Trolor! Trolor!"

"Trolor! Trolor!"

Countless voices erupted in cheers. The sound merged into a wave that spread far into the distance.

At that moment, through the ubiquitous surveillance systems, Xiao Yu saw a luxurious vehicle speeding toward him. An aged member of this civilization's intelligent beings climbed out and began approaching Xiao Yu, performing the great ritual of taking a step, then kneeling, step by step.

"That one seems to be this planet's president… hmm, the most powerful person. He has finally appeared," Xiao Yu thought. At the same time, he felt a little impatient.

Because the crowd was simply too large, and this fellow's ritual of progressing step by kneeling step was absurdly slow. At this pace, it would probably take at least an hour for him to reach Xiao Yu.

Although he was inwardly impatient, in order to maintain the dignity of a true god, Xiao Yu still controlled the body to stand solemnly in place, waiting.

At last, when the old man reached him, he prostrated fully, lying flat with his forehead pressed to the ground, not daring to lift his head.

"Great True God, I am the president of this planet, and your devout believer. I beg you, please save your children. Do not let your children perish under the claws of the demon…"

"I beg you, please save your children…"
