I Have Infinite Skill Points-Chapter 640: The Power of God

Finding the headquarters of Paradise Bird was a significant event. Wang Lan immediately contacted the international leaders.

"Although Paradise Bird does not have a fixed headquarters, being able to locate the Saint Heir is still a good thing."

"It just so happens that their located area is an uninhabited zone, so there’s no need to be polite."

"Do you need me to take action?" Wang Lan asked tentatively.

"No need. Contact the United Nations immediately, and you mark out the most precise coordinates for us."

"Yes, sir!"

The resolution of the United Nations came swiftly. The international community had only one stance on traitorous human organizations like Paradise Bird: if missiles could be used, bullets were out of the question; if someone could be killed, they would not be left alive.

「In another place, within the Ice Palace.」

Lucifer’s terrifying aura rampaged across heaven and earth, making the entire Ice Palace tremble violently, with dense cracks spreading all over it.

Several leaders of Paradise Bird stood respectfully in front of Lucifer.

Lucifer’s power brought a look of excitement to the faces of the leaders. Although they had fallen from their high positions of leadership to lowly servants, it mattered whose servants they were.

"Congratulations, My God, for lifting the curse. My God, may I ask what our next step should be?" the former Saint Heir asked, bowing down.

"The next step is, of course, to announce my coming to the world, but before that, we must first eliminate the Heaven God Sect," Lucifer said lightly, tapping his finger on the Ice Throne.

Suddenly, the sound of hastened footsteps came from behind, causing Lucifer to frown and show a trace of displeasure on his face.

"Honored God, it’s terrible! Humans have launched intercontinental missiles. Our base must have been exposed, and if we don’t move now, it will be too late," a high-level Demon Clan spy hurried into the Ice Throne and said anxiously.

"Intercontinental missiles? What are those?"

"They are technological weapons that can precisely target sites tens of thousands of kilometers away. If they carry nuclear warheads, one missile could destroy an entire city. They are the most powerful weapons in current human civilization."

"Oh? One can destroy a city? That’s hardly a threat. No worries," Lucifer yawned lazily. Then, as if he had realized something, he turned his attention to the Demon Clan spy in front of him.

"What did you just call me?"

"Honored God? You have been conferred the title of Honored God among our Divine Clan, second only to the Demon God."

"Honored God? Who gave me that title?"

"Of course, it was Demon God..."

BOOM—

A loud noise erupted. The high-ranking demon’s body exploded instantly, green blood splattering all over, drenching the surrounding Saint Heirs and other Paradise Bird higher-ups.

"Back then, the Demon God promised to share the universe with me. Since when was it his turn to confer upon me the title of Honored God? Second-level god? Nonsensical."

The expressions of the other Paradise Bird leaders changed at the sight, but they quickly broke into excited smiles.

"My God, he is the highest leader of the Demon Clan spies in the Human World. By killing him directly, the Demon Clan will surely know. Then..."

"Do you think the Demon Clan dares to open the gate of space and time with me still around? The Demon God was banished into the temporal turbulence. The remaining demons are nothing but chickens and dogs in my eyes. I could wipe them all out with a wave of my hand. Go, kill all the Demon Bastards in the base; not one should be spared."

Of course, Lucifer had the confidence, being a twelve-winged Holy Angel, a powerful entity of the same level as the God of Heaven in the past. In an era with no Demon Gods and no divinities, he was the only god between heaven and earth.

Of course, since the Demon God had been banished and gods had either fallen or vanished, he wasn’t afraid to bluff. Claiming brotherhood with the Demon God was just Lucifer’s wishful thinking.

In the past, the Demon God alone could take on Heaven, the gods of Olympus, the temples of Northern Europe, and the Eastern Celestial Court. However, Lucifer was merely a top-notch expert in Heaven, with a chasm of a dimension separating him from the Demon God.

Naming Lucifer as Honored God was already elevating him. But there’s a saying, isn’t there? In the absence of tigers, monkeys become kings.

WOOO WOOO WOOO—

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded.

Lucifer’s brow creased slightly. "What’s going on?"

"We’ve triggered the danger alarm; it must be the attack from various countries arriving..."

"Report... report to the Saint Heir..."

"Report to My God!" the Saint Heir hurriedly ordered.

"Yes, reporting to My God. The radar shows hundreds of intercontinental missiles rapidly approaching, and they are expected to hit us in five minutes. What should we do?"

"Can they be identified?"

"They’re moving too fast to be identified. It’s very likely that they are... nuclear bombs."

"My God..."

"We implore My God to act!" several former high-level members of Paradise Bird hurriedly bowed down, petitioning.

"Hmph!" Lucifer snorted coldly. "A minor disturbance and you’re all so scared. Fine, let the world witness the power of a god."

As he spoke, his figure flashed, and he appeared in the sky outside the base.

In the distant horizon, dozens of white lights streaked across the void, each accompanied by spouting flames, slamming fiercely against the upper layers of the base. With a faint lift of his hand, Lucifer raised a huge barrier.

"Foolish mortals of this world, I, the Holy Angel of Heaven, have returned. From now on, I shall be the only True God, your only sovereign. Those who believe in me and submit to me, I shall lead you into paradise. Should anyone dare to defy or resist me, I will cast you into hell.

"The God of Heaven has perished, and the True God has arrived. Now, let me show you the power of a real god."

BOOM—

The first missile slammed hard against the protective barrier, erupting with a thunderous explosion that shook the earth. A multitude of missiles followed like raindrops, relentlessly bombarding the barrier. Their terrifying shockwaves churned space itself. From orbit, artificial satellites broadcast the crystal-clear imagery live to the devices of world leaders.

After the first round of missile strikes ended, Lucifer hovered in the air and gently waved his hand, the barrier in front of him vanishing. By his power alone, he had sustained a barrier the size of a city.

Having withstood the impact of bunker-busting missiles without a tremble, his strength surpassed human comprehension.

Even a master of the Star Soul Realm could at best survive the blast of a single ballistic missile, but not stand there and take the hits without a scratch.

But Lucifer easily erected such a vast protective barrier. Intercepting hundreds of bunker-busting missiles effortlessly, this scene alone was enough to make everyone gasp in shock.

「Inside the Forbidden City’s cabinet.」

Number One looked at the outcome and turned to Emperor Bai and the other powerful leaders present. "How does his strength compare to Drulu’s?"

"Killing Drulu for him is as easy as crushing an ant."

"Then... is King Jiangshan a match for him?"

"That... is uncertain."

"It’s not about being uncertain." A voice sounded, and King Jiangshan and Yu Ruoyun seemed to walk from another world, appearing in the conference room.

"Before him, I am as helpless as an infant."

"Could it be... are the heavens truly seeking to end our human civilization?" A worried expression appeared on Number One’s face.

"How about... we surrender?" A voice suddenly rose, and instantly, everyone’s gaze turned to the Qing Emperor.

"You see, Lucifer has already surpassed the limits of human strength. Speaking of which, it would be easy for him to destroy all of humanity. There’s no need for us to be so self-destructive as to throw eggs against rocks, right? He hasn’t said he wants to eliminate our human civilization, has he? How about we submit and live to fight another day?"

No one present was a hot-blooded youth, nor did anyone entertain the idea of preferring death in splendor over a life in disgrace. Moreover, their decision would directly determine the fate of human civilization—they couldn’t afford to act rashly.

Protecting human civilization was paramount. The most important thing was to preserve existence, even if it meant being subservient. But the thought of surrendering without even putting up a fight brought a sense of frustration to the forefront.

Was the Qing Emperor afraid of death? When he fought the Hell Monarch, he had sacrificed himself to create an opportunity for others to strike. His life had long been weighed on the scales of his nation and humanity.

But confronted with an adversary who even the most powerful King Jiangshan admitted was too strong for him, the Qing Emperor dared not gamble anymore.

"Before we decide whether to surrender, let’s first ascertain his goal. If he simply wants to become a god, what harm is there in worshipping him as one? But if he provokes the bottom line of humanity, then we are better off shattered than whole!" the Qing Emperor declared.

An aide reported, "The nuclear warhead will arrive in one minute."

Another leader commented, "Let’s see the power of this self-proclaimed divinity. In the face of humanity’s most powerful technological weapon, let’s see if he can demonstrate the strength to conquer the world."

「In the God Forbidden Zone.」

Lucifer stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with a cold smirk. "Is this the greatest force developed by humanity over ten thousand years?"

"Pathetic. Human development of technology has twisted the path of human evolution," Lucifer said indifferently.

And watching the scene of Lucifer effortlessly deflecting all the missiles with a wave of his hand, the Paradise Bird members underground were invigorated.

They were cheering and leaping for joy in front of the screen. For many years, they had lived a life skulking in dark corners. Finally, their time had come.

With the power to destroy the world in a thought, the nations must submit beneath Lucifer’s feet. As his followers, they would naturally ascend to become people of status.

Imagining the heads of various nations bowing and scraping before them, their adrenaline surged, bringing them an instant rush of euphoria.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded.

In the sky above, countless streaks of light appeared on the horizon.

"Hmph, in the face of absolute power, even great numbers are futile," Lucifer sneered. "It seems my earlier demonstration wasn’t clear enough. Humanity’s leaders are from what they call the UN P5 nations, are they? Then I’ll start with you. Once you’re dealt with, I’ll see who else dares to defy my will."

The first nuclear-tipped intercontinental missile made its descent, and Lucifer still merely lifted his hand lightly.

BOOM—

The moment the missile struck the barrier, a terrifying force was unleashed. The instantaneous nuclear fission released horrifying energy, accompanied by a blinding white light, temperatures reaching over a hundred million degrees, and a shockwave of natural disaster proportions all converging at once.

Lucifer’s expression changed suddenly, and his once scornful eyes were filled with shock.

"This is impossible... This power has touched the domain of the gods. This shouldn’t be a power that humans can possess, or should be able to possess..."

In that instant, a huge tempest rose in Lucifer’s heart.

How can mere mortals break the taboo and wield the power of a god? No, this is absolutely unacceptable!
