I.. Am God?-Chapter 186 Back To The Country, Phenomenon
"Finally!" When he heard Andre, Romualdez cheered. For the past years that Romualdez was in his seat, the chairman Andre really didn't like having cars in his possession and would rather have others drive for him. Although that in itself is understandable, considering that he holds a lot of companies and even more so of stocks in other companies and has the luxury to have chauffeurs of his own, what's weird is that he is not collecting cars of his own or even just owning one and instead uses cars that were owned by either the companies or the palace.
Now that Andre already wants a car of his own, of course, as an employee under him, Romualdez was overjoyed. "Don't worry, Chairman! I'll be sure to notify Marcus about it, and I'll be sure that it'll be done in no time!" He chirped.
Andre saw how he reacted and shook his head. He then took out his phone to look at the news.
Currently, the war in the Middle East is already at an all-time high, with the Ottoman Empire pushing through Eastern Egypt with successive battles one after another. The United States is fearing that the war might cause them to lose so they contacted their European allies to aid the losing country, but with no results as the nations turned a blind eye in the war.
In anger, the States did the unimaginable; they sent the Secret Force, men with evolved abilities, to aid Egypt.
They planned to destroy the Ottoman army by slowly eliminating their forces through secretive attacks. They were, at first, succeeding. But something happened that accidentally exposed the world to the truth.
An Ottoman survivor filmed how the Secret Force agents shot fire from their hands and scorching his comrades, floating rocks flattening the vehicles, and a person who punched a jeepney and caved its hood in.
At first, the people who watched it thought of it as just an excellent edit. But, when expert editors proved otherwise, they started watching it seriously. Another bad move of the US government was that they ordered it to be deleted from the internet, basically confirming what they just saw as true.
Now, the entire world was in chaos, seeing that super powers exists. Some people even thought that the US government experimented on humans and mutated them, causing a huge damage in the government's prestige.
Worldwide, other countries' citizens also looked at their government suspiciously, thinking that they also made such evil actions.
As Andre was seeing it, it would only be a short amount of time before the revelation begins, so he ought to prepare now.
He dialed on his phone and placed it on his ear. "Hello, President?"
"Start an emergency program and strengthen our men. Project Revelation must be administered to all our personnels, and all of them must be trained to fight and capture strengthened individuals. Chaos would fall upon the world. It is near. I will send a manual to strengthen the body through tempering and energy absorption."
"Yes, President." The voice answered before Andre ended the call.
"What's the problem, Chairman?" Romualdez asked.
Andre looked at Romualdez and clicked his tongue. "Is the Constable still around?" He asked.
"Of course." Romualdez nodded, "The Constable protects all the companies under us, so its existence is necessary for us."
"Then, expand the Constables to about 10,000. We'll need it in the future."
"What?!" Romualdez exclaimed with widened eyes, "Why do we need so many?"
"Trust me, Romualdez. The companies would need it." Andre said seriously. "Also, make them sign a contract of confidentiality. Anything that would be taught to them must stay only with them."
"O-Okay, Chairman." Romualdez nodded apprehensively.
After that, Andre asked him for a pad of paper, which he gave to him quickly. As soon as Andre got the hold of the paper, he then took out a pen and started writing.
For the entire time, only the sound of the point of the pen gliding on the paper could be heard inside the car.
After the long drive, they finally arrived in Quezon City. Of course, as Andre was staying in the city of Pasay, it would take them another fifty minutes to reach their destination.
When they arrived at Pasay, Andre stopped Romualdez from driving any further, "You can drop me here. I can walk."
"I can drop you directly at your home, Chairman. Why do you want to walk?" Romualdez asked confusedly. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com
"And risk my location and identity to be known by people? No thanks." Andre sneered before leaving the vehicle and walking away, not waiting for Romualdez' reply.
After walking for a while, Andre reached his house and immediately entered it. After enveloping the entire house in a protective barrier, Andre started to resume reading the codex and expanding his knowledge on the unknown world.
While reading, the laws of the world began to slowly change in accordance to Andre's knowledge. New laws popped up and old laws were improved. Of course, one of the things that improved was Magic.
In a dark and eerie graveyard, a man grovelled on the ground, crying his heart out in front of a grave. "I.. will make them.. pay for what they.. did!!" The man shouted hoarsely.
Meanwhile, a smog-like energy filled with darkness creeped up around him while he didn't even know. His heart and mind were only filled with deep resentment and hatred so such things wouldn't even be noticed by him. His eyes reddened as tears flowed down endlessly from his eyes.
The dark energy slowly seeped into his skin, slowly being absorbed by his body. Noticeably, his skin turned deathly pale while his hair turned ashen. His reddened eyes reddened even more, turning into a sanguine red color while his pupils constricted and turned purplish.
On his skin, his blackened nerves became visible because of its sheer paleness while it also cracked like dead skin.
"Aarrggghhhhh!!" He shouted with a voice filled with remorse and anger while he arched his back and spread his arms wide. And from the depths of the graveyard, deathly hands emerged from the graves as a deathly chaos slowly approached the living.
In the realm of the gods, the members of the Triads also felt their powers rise significantly, causing them to be overjoyed.
Going back to Andre. After three days or so, he finally finished understanding everything that was written in it. He glided his fingers on the pages of the book as he sighed with amazement and wonder. "How infinitely wide our universe is. There's such magic like this?"
He then looked at the last page that was empty. He felt he had the need to create something here.
Having decided to do so, Andre raised his index and middle finger together and sighed, "I hope this works."
He then placed his two fingers on the page and started drawing something. After an hour, he finished drawing what seemed to be an array. Suddenly, he felt something.
From the outside, a huge beacon of light fell towards Gaius and focused onto the book and Andre.
His pores opened and absorbed the light while the codex started to fundamentally change.
Solomon, who was shocked by the change, came out of the book. "This.." He turned to Andre who was meditating and muttered, "What did you do to summon an Altering Phenomenon?"
Inside Andre's head, he saw images, unexplainable ones. Although it was unexplainable, Andre knew exactly what it was about. Tears cascaded down his eyes, shocking Solomon.
Andre opened his eyes. Although nothing really changed physically, something deep inside him felt different. He felt.. saddened?
"What did you see, kid?" Solomon asked. Andre shook his head and replied, "Nothing, really."
"Don't lie to me, kid." Solomon responded with solemnity. "I know what that is. It is a phenomenon that is rare even for the likes of my main body. One thing that it does is simple; Show the person what is fated to happen."
"It isn't important." Andre shook his head. "The only thing that it showed is the inevitable. An event that cannot be avoided. One that would make way for the true story." He smiled with sadness.
"What story?" Solomon tilted his head in confusion. "The story of a god." Andre turned to him with eyes glowing with understanding.
He then vanished, appearing inside the Dream Realm, in front of a huge pristine mansion. Breathing deeply, he walked straight inside the mansion without turning back.
And, it was as if he knew the nooks and crannies of the mansion, he walked and walked and immediately arrived in front of a ten-meter double door made of darkwood.
The door's design was simple, but it still cannot be belittled as strong auras of wisdom and knowledge emanated from behind it.
Andre pushed the door wide open, and there, a huge library filled with loads of ancient books, scrolls, and other kinds of literary instruments presented itself in front of his eyes.
