Chapter 45: The Alien Serum, Using Strange Power to Deal with the Strange!

The old man’s actions remained as decisive as ever.

With lightning speed, he convened a meeting exclusive to the high-ranking officials of Summer Country and handed the vial containing the crimson liquid gene serum to professional researchers for analysis.

They didn’t aim for complete analysis and replication, only for extracting some useful data and information.

Just as the old man suspected, all his actions were observed by Jiang Yi.

【Due to the host’s influence, Summer Country became aware of the existence of the ancient overlord in advance. Although they couldn’t directly deal with the Evil God, Summer Country organized a specialized intelligence agency to search for relevant information domestically and internationally.】

【With the power of the national machinery, all individuals in Summer Country contaminated by the aura of the Evil God were quickly detected and suppressed.】

【As the highest authority figure in Summer Country, the old man personally interrogated these followers of the Evil God. After further confirming the existence of the Evil God, he immediately issued orders nationwide to arrest anyone suspected of being a follower of the Evil God.】

Accompanied by the system’s narration, the progress of the whole world suddenly accelerated.

In Summer Country’s territory, numerous special operatives conducted investigations, arresting a large number of individuals propagating cults. Even the slightest suspicion led to intense police interrogations.

For a moment, the entire Summer Country was stunned by this sudden action.

“What in the world is the country planning to do? Why have they suddenly become so strict?”

“I haven’t heard of any world-class events happening recently that would be held within Summer Country’s borders. The security has suddenly become so tight, it’s a bit unusual.”

“Hey, let me tell you guys, those captured followers of the Evil God don’t seem so simple. A friend of mine witnessed the process of their arrest, and those followers of the Evil God simply didn’t look human!”

Not only was there intense discussion within Summer Country, but even in the rest of Blue Star, a different atmosphere was detected.

Intuition told them that the old man’s intentions were definitely not as simple as just maintaining law and order.

Naturally, governments of various countries began to arrest various cultists on their own soil, attempting to ascertain the reasons behind Summer Country’s strange actions from these individuals.

“It seems like the plot of this timeline is about to change,” Jiang Yi commented as he observed the changes in the world from above.

Previous simulations were based on the assumption that cultists of the Evil God would secretly hide for a year and then conduct a large-scale sacrifice in the economic hub, resulting in two possible outcomes: success or failure.

But now, because Summer Country was informed in advance, a small action led to a major reaction.

The whole world knew to beware of cultists of the Evil God. In such an environment, even if the cultists could develop, they would never be able to carry out a large-scale city sacrifice involving millions of people.

【As the host speculated, traces of cultists of the Evil God soon appeared in other countries on Blue Star. By observing the contaminating power and eerie persuasion displayed by these followers, other countries finally understood Summer Country’s intentions.】

【A grand, worldwide anti-cult movement was launched. All national governments joined forces, sharing intelligence and attempting to arrest those followers of the Evil God who believed in the ancient overlord. However, these cultists’ ability to bewitch hearts was too strong, and countries were completely unable to eradicate the spread of their beliefs.】

【However, although governments couldn’t eradicate the cult of the Evil God, with their involvement, the cultists could no longer prepare for large-scale sacrifices in peace. On the day when the stars were aligned, they couldn’t gather enough human sacrifices.】

“So, now the national governments and the cultists of the Evil God are in a stalemate?” Jiang Yi pondered, rubbing his chin in thought.

Without intervening to change the plot, Jiang Yi continued to listen to the narration of the simulation system, observing the changes in Blue Star from a god’s perspective.

Intuition told him that this seemingly peaceful balance would sooner or later be broken.

【As the day of the alignment of the stars approaches, the actions of the cultists of the Evil God become increasingly rampant. Even their physical forms undergo various degrees of mutation, resembling strange fish-men capable of walking on land, but they still cannot confront the armies of various countries head-on.】

【Under the leadership of a few wise individuals, all cultists of the Evil God temporarily abandoned the idea of sacrificing to the ancient overlord and instead began to spread pollution and preach all over the world, intending to completely corrupt Blue Star and attract the attention of that indescribable existence.】

【Many abominations were even summoned, some possessing immense strength, others invulnerable to conventional weapons, some capable of flying through the sky and burrowing underground. These incredibly powerful monsters ran rampant in towns, making it difficult for tanks and aircraft to effectively kill them. For a while, news of the invasion of abominations filled the entire Blue Star, with large areas contaminated into breeding grounds for abominations.】

“So they’ve given up on the large-scale sacrifice of millions of people. Indeed, even though they’ve been tainted by the aura of the Evil God, these cultists of the Evil God still retain the wisdom of humanity.”

As Jiang Yi observed the changes in the simulated world, he mused.

The cultists of the Evil God had made changes. If Summer Country couldn’t come up with effective research results again, then the Blue Star of this world would eventually be corrupted by the will of the Evil God.

【While the host was contemplating, there was finally a breakthrough in Summer Country’s research on Gene Serum Type IV.】

【Actually, Summer Country’s scientists had deciphered the essence of the gene serum long ago, but they were unable to produce the serum due to the lack of beasts in this world.】

【Until later, a bold young scholar proposed using the corpses of the slain abominations as raw materials, removing their corruption as much as possible, and producing a brand-new serum  — Alien Serum — that was as similar to the gene serum as possible.】

【The appearance of the Alien Serum completely shattered the stalemate between humanity and the cultists of the Evil God!】
