"What is that? What exactly is he?"
"Is it a magic trick? Or some kind of... extraordinary technique?"
A storm raged within Ivanka's heart!
Reason told her that there could be no extraordinary beings in this world. Her family was already upper class, and there was no way that there were any extraordinary beings or otherworldly realms. Her family had not received any information about them.
But there was also an incredibly strong thought in my mind.
What if, what if it really is!
find him!
"find him!"
Driven by a strong impulse, Ivanka even blurted it out without realizing it.
"Oh, you were looking for me?"
A light, airy voice suddenly reached Ivanka's ears.
Ivanka's sexy, hot body trembled instantly. She turned around slowly, somewhat stiffly, and looked at the source of the voice.
A man, the very same mysterious man from before, appeared where she had been sitting, holding her wine glass, swirling it as he watched her with amusement.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Ivanka asked in a tone that was somewhat unfamiliar to herself, tinged with awe and intense curiosity: "Your Excellency, who exactly is...?"
Badr smiled faintly: "You can call me... an apostle."
apostle!
A highly divine term, generally referring to missionaries of religious sects. Some even give themselves false and mysterious identities, such as messengers of God. The most famous of these is Jesus, the incarnate Son of God!
The person before me doesn't seem like the kind of fake apostle who fabricates an identity to gain higher power.
A sudden chill flashed through my heart, but in the next moment, it all transformed into intense fervor.
opportunity!
Her family is her opportunity!
What second-generation rich kid? He's nowhere near as good as a god's representative!
Chapter Four: God is revered because of the unknown.
God is revered because of the unknown. Even the Triune God knew to create a secondary account, sending a Son Jesus to play in the world. How could Bader not know this?
God cannot be understood or touched; otherwise, with the decline of human reverence, the fate of Jesus would be the standard answer.
The god Baldr needs to be high above, possessing absolute power and majesty, while the apostle's minor account can do whatever it wants.
The apostle can be touched, understood, and even possess human desires; he can touch women and enjoy delicious food—things that the mighty gods cannot do.
Ivanka asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, may I ask which His Majesty you serve?"
Badr did not answer directly, but casually played with a point of light formed from the power of light at his fingertips.
Ivanka's expression hardened. Light, the power of light—the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of such a power is naturally that incomparably great being.
The Trinity, the Creator, the Supreme One God – God!
Bader glanced at her, and in that single glance, it seemed as if he could see right through her, giving Ivanka the feeling that even her soul was being seen through.
The next moment, Badr shook his head: "The one I believe in is not the one you imagine."
"May I ask who you are?"
This time, Badr did not answer again. Some things cannot be explained too clearly. Only the answers he discovered himself were the most credible 'truth'.
"I need you to find out who these two people are."
As the daughter of a tycoon, Ivanka naturally saw through the other party's deliberate attempt to change the subject. She wasn't foolish enough to expose the other party, so she followed up with her question.
"Is there any information?"
Badr raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the air, instantly creating streaks of light and shadow.
“I received a revelation that calamity will befall this world.”
As Badr's words fell, the light and shadow in the void began to solidify, and four images appeared within them.
Two young people are fighting and confronting each other in a way that most people wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Manipulating objects, using invisible telekinesis, even flying—the entire area seemed to have become a battlefield between two people, and the city beneath their feet seemed to have become a backdrop to highlight such godlike power.
This is clearly the final scene of "Out of Control," a battle between two superhumans. However, unlike the usual ending, Matt is not the victor.
In the end, with the defeat and death of one of them, the other stood high in the sky, with lightning flashing behind him. The light of the lightning reflected on his gloomy and tyrannical face, making him look like a demon god who would destroy the world.
Ivanka's initial composure gradually turned into a serious expression, eventually transforming into an indescribable storm of emotions.
"These two people..."
"Don't ask me about the other party's identity, I don't know either. This is all the divine revelation I have. You'll have to investigate the rest yourself."
Ivanka nodded with utmost seriousness: "Please put it down, Your Excellency. With the Trump family's power, it will take at most seven days..."
“You only have one day!” Badr interrupted him.
Ivanka's beautiful eyes furrowed. There was no name, no city, and she didn't even know if the other person was in a city or a small town. Even if she knew their faces, without any other information, the search would be extremely difficult.
With only one day, it's doubtful that the Trump family alone could accomplish this.
Even so, after only a few seconds of thought, Ivanka nodded decisively.
"Your Excellency, I will find all the information within a day."
Badr nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad~"
He said casually, "Devoted believers will receive guidance from God, and it is not impossible for them to receive even divine gifts."
Ivanka's beautiful eyes lit up. Could it be that she also had a chance to reach the extraordinary realm?
If one has the opportunity to become extraordinary, wield immense power, and gain a long lifespan, then all those tycoons and rulers of nations will be nothing but trash.
Just as she was about to leave, Ivanka suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back: "Your Excellency, after we find them, what should we do? Should we...?"
A chilling killing intent flashed across Ivanka's eyes.
As a descendant of a chaebol, she is not lacking in ruthless decisiveness.
Bader shook his head: "The extraordinary is not something that can be reached casually."
Ivanka instantly understood; those two monsters fighting in the city were probably not the 'main characters' yet, and there might be others to come.
No, it might not even be human. What right do mere humans, even those who wield extraordinary power, have to make the gods take them seriously, or even send down apostles?
Thinking about it this way, Ivanka couldn't help but take a breath.
However, she quickly calmed down again. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. As a descendant of a chaebol, she naturally understood this principle.
Watching Ivanka's departing figure, Bader's lips curled into a playful smile.
The simplest way to gain faith is naturally to perform miracles.
However, while performing miracles can certainly inspire faith in some believers, it is far too inefficient.
Moreover, there are far too many religions in this world. If one god performs a miracle today, will another one perform a miracle tomorrow?
In this situation, the spread of faith will be hindered in various ways.
Now, Badr is preparing to do the opposite. Miracles may be useful, but how can they compare to divine punishment, which inspires awe and resonates more deeply with people?
A villain, a villain who occasionally gains supernatural powers, or a villain who has completely turned evil, is not the most perfect pawn.
Only when the opponent has defeated everything and demonstrated a power that humanity cannot resist, will the gods descend to earth, baptize the world with divine punishment, and show their arrival to the world with absolute power.
Isn't this more effective than just a few miracles?
Even if the religious problem cannot be completely solved, and a god who has demonstrated absolute power is present, even if you are wary of other gods, first think about whether the gods in other mythologies are as powerful as this one. At that time, most minor religions and minor god beliefs will be directly annihilated.
As for major religions, well, we can send that villainous pawn to visit all the major religions. If that doesn't work, Badr wouldn't mind creating a few 'pawns' himself to play a religious match-3 game.
Chapter Five: On God's Love
In a closed room, a man and a woman sat facing each other. The woman was none other than Ivanka, the sexy socialite, while the man was not Bader, but rather a rather dignified and serious middle-aged man.
He was none other than the true owner of this estate, Ivanka Trump's father.
Trump gazed at his most beloved and cherished daughter.
"Ivanka, are you sure all of this is true?"
God's apostles have descended upon the world, and calamity is imminent, perhaps even triggering a more terrifying war between the gods.
Even a leader of a major power would find it difficult to accept these things at first.
Ivanka shook her head: "Father, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, this is what you taught me."
“That person demonstrated his strength, and I saw an opportunity in him, so he is the real one.”
As long as there is profit, the truth is not important. Of course, if that profit is not realized, backlash will naturally follow. This is the perspective of a chaebol family that prioritizes profit.
Trump nodded with satisfaction: "Ivanka, you've grown up. Now you are my most perfect treasure."
"Thank you for the compliment, Father." Ivanka smiled brightly at the opportune moment.
Trump began to look down at the documents in his hands. Soon, all the information collected on them—the great sun that had dispelled the night not long ago, the arrival of the apostle, the information about the two people in the divine revelation, and much more—was everything related to that apostle.
These records contain details about the apostle's coffee, including what it tasted like.
Trump slowly and carefully reviewed all the information, then looked up and asked, "Ivanka, based on this information, which god do you think this apostle worships?"
Ivanka said with some distress, “Father, there are just too many gods of light.”
Light, as one of the most representative forces, is a deity in almost every pantheon.
There are countless examples, such as Apollo, the Greek god of light; the Triune God; Amaterasu, the goddess of the Takamagahara pantheon; and the Jade Emperor from the East.
The only thing they have in common is that each of them is one of the top beings in their respective pantheons, a god who wields light, and has never been weak.
Trump smiled and said, "Ivanka, my darling, you have grown up, but it's not enough. You've overlooked some things."
