GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 1876: The Crime Of Treason.

Taylor saw this and sneered. "They just want to control everyone. It will be chaos if everyone can become Mega Man. It will make them lose their power."

He finds it hard to believe that the government can be helpful for anything regarding the Heavenly Corporation. Not after the many times they tried and failed to hamper or gain control of God's Domain.

But far more than false promises, he believes that the governments of various nations are using the false promise just to acquire the identity of people who had made progress in the game so that they could control them.

His suspicion increased when he saw articles speaking about the directive from some governments of some nations that forced soldiers to participate in God's Domain.

His suspicion was correct. People have been seeing a lot of things that pointed to the fact that power could be gained from God's Domain. First were the in-game damages that appeared in real life. Now is the feeling of the possession of core engines or spirit anchors. Soon it might actually become true power.

If that were to happen, the whole world would change due to its ramifications. The signs are already pointing to just how much the world will change.

Those who were skeptical about the promises of God's Domain in the past are beginning to take notice. They are now rushing to participate in order not to be left out.

Governments and various organizations were also forcing or enticing people into entering the game. Kidnappings have also become rampant. All of these have led to a rise in the death rate as people are killed in real life or die in their third chance to pass the survival trial.

The more Taylor read, the more he marveled about humanity and how far they were willing to go for power.

"I wonder what historians will call this era in the future. Will it be the dark age or the age of enlightenment?"

One piece of information even made him laugh. He read that many legislators and activists were working towards banning God's Domain and making participating in it illegal. Some governments with dictators are even willing to go so far as to label it a crime of treason punishable by death.

It made him laugh just as it made many other people laugh. He found it funny because there was no way to enforce it. Not unless they were willing to spy on all of their citizens 24/7. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

That will surely lead to an outcry from the people. But unlike the Heavenly Corporation, this outcry might work because the government is made up of easily accessible people.

The more he read, the more he laughed. He shook his head. "Nothing can change the rise of God's Domain. At this point, it is inevitable."

He believes so because he thinks that if the Heavenly Corperation can grant people power, then they must have power themselves. It is real power too, not like the power of the government granted to them by the people. They don't need to rely on the strength of a congregation of sheep to have their way.

"No wonder they are asking for my in-game identity. I might give them when I have acquired real power. I want to see what the government will do then."

Just the power he currently has in God's Domain is enough to make him beat the world record for the world's fastest man. He can only imagine what kind of power he will have at tier 1 or tier 4 or as a god. At that point, he wouldn't even fear death anymore.

It was so surreal. He had read many books about something like this. The rules of society changing when a powerful system or alien civilization invades and grants humans singular power. But now he might actually witness it happen.

He looked at his disabled left arm in a daze. It is a testament to the rise of unbelievable things that the Heavenly Corporation is capable of.

He shook his head and said, "If it happens, I must be ahead of the new social order."

He doesn't care where the power comes from. All he cares about is that he wants to be the head and not the tail.

He has read enough to know that becoming the tail in such a situation will not be pleasant at all. Social order will fall, and the weak will become prey to the strong. He can't allow that to be his lot.

So he went to sleep and returned to God's Domain as soon as possible. Then he went to the blackboard and picked out a D-rank mission. He went with the most popular one. It was a fight with an orc.

The mission area was an arena. It was large and had ample space for dodging, but it was limited. The space was about 30 meters by 30 meters. Beyond that was a wall.

At the center was his enemy waiting for him. He could see it because it was daytime and there was no roof to block out the sunlight.

The two of them were the only ones in the arena. The orc was wielding two small axes. It had yellow skin smeared with red tattoos. It had two white tusks jutting out from its mouth.

It also had the advantage of size and strength. It was about 3 meters tall and looked like it possessed twice his body weight in muscle mass.

The orc didn't speak to him. It roared and rushed at him. It was quite a frightening sight that would have sent a lesser man running. He would have run too if not for the fact that he knew he couldn't die. Without the fear of death, all that was left was the anticipation for the fight.

The Orc reached him soon. He took a sideways step and dashed to his right. This caused his position to shift abruptly.

Next, he took another step forward and dashed towards the exposed back of the Orc. Then he stabbed his sword into its back.
