Chapter 83: Chapter 83: More Serious Challenges
In fact, as time progressed, Shen Hao truly began to take on the stature of a God of Mankind.
His power grew stronger and stronger.
After his basic statistics had exceeded thirty points, the speed of improvement had initially slowed down significantly.
After all, statistics merely reflected basic strength numerically, and levels were just a comprehensive representation.
His body was not digitalized, and the improvement in strength also had to conform to basic laws.
However, possessing the Dominator Talent, he eventually could rapidly and perfectly assimilate all resources.
Upon unlocking the Level 9 Mall and using higher-level resources, his power noticeably accelerated once again.
On a fundamental level, he began to increasingly distance himself from the other Chosen Ones.
Now, apart from him, the one whose basic strength improved the fastest was also his team member.
Using the same resources, when their average level had barely reached Level 5, Shen Hao had already reached Level 7!
This level already bore a faint semblance of “divinity.”
When he controlled thunder, he could even simultaneously and precisely strike hundreds of people!

The range of his Dominator Suppression had also expanded to almost two thousand meters.
Once, when facing thousands of gun barrels at the same time, his telekinesis could easily block all the bullets.
At this stage, unless targeted by missiles or intensive high-caliber anti-aircraft gunfire, he didn’t know what else could harm him.
The only dissatisfaction he had was with the White Level 10 Mall, which still seemed a long way off.
By now, the Blood Demons in this country had been cleared by more than seventy percent.
His accumulated points had reached eighty-eight million.
And this was only the eighth day since they had arrived in this country.
As early as three days ago, he had activated the Double Drop Hack, and the tens of thousands of Blood Demons that followed contributed to the new hack, providing him with over fifteen thousand dropped items, including eight thousand ability balls.
Unfortunately, the remaining Blood Demons in this country were very scattered.
There were still about three hundred thousand Blood Demons scattered throughout villages and the wilderness; further cleaning up would consume a lot of their energy and time.
“It’s time to leave,” Shen Hao said to Dong Gong. “Having done so much, and with large-scale detection equipment available, if they still can’t hold their own, then I suggest they disband their own defense forces and hand everything over to the Human Alliance Army that the Global United Front is establishing.”
“Such statements should not be made lightly,” Dong Gong responded, a bit helplessly.
“Don’t tell me the upper echelons haven’t considered it,” Shen Hao directly pointed out. “Even if they haven’t, the Global United Front will certainly have made such considerations. This is the inevitable choice for human civilization to unify its strength. After all, if they can’t even resist the threat of this level of Blood Demons, then such military forces, which only drag behind, really don’t deserve to be preserved.”
In Shen Hao’s view, the military forces in various regions of human civilization may not need to be consistent, but at least they had to be above a certain standard.
After all, the next trial might not be distributed like this time. Such weak areas could easily become the breakthrough point for a complete collapse of human civilization.
Moreover, like in this battlefield, where countless soldiers fought bloody battles at the cost of their lives on one side, and yet others were easily penetrated, surrendering weapons and people on the other.
If this isn’t abolished, how is that fair to the sacrificed warriors?
“I will convey your opinion,” Dong Gong said solemnly.
Although he spoke very cautiously, it had become a habit by now. In fact, at this point, there were few who could ignore Shen Hao’s opinions.
Moreover, the elites were not fools; they were actually very clear on how human civilization should transform in the face of trials.
Even if Shen Hao didn’t mention it, more and more people were likely to suggest he leave at this moment.
Any existing resistance seemed trivial in the face of a trial crisis.
The world needed him in too many places, and as Shen Hao’s strength continued to increase, the role he played also grew increasingly significant.
Among the two paths of salvation, “saving the world by this body alone” had already begun to show some effects.
“Let’s go to the next country,” Shen Hao said. “After providing detection equipment, some regions should be able to defend themselves.”
“Indeed,” Dong Gong said, his tone slightly excited. “The batch of White Ninth Level products that were sent previously played a key role, and the laboratories have developed the third-generation Xijita detection devices, with a detection range of ten kilometers in radius. Coupled with research achievements from Parasite Failures and increased production of targeted weapons, some areas have already started to turn the tide!”
The neighboring country was like that—a region relatively safe due to its cold climate had begun a counter-offensive after receiving equipment support.
Although the sacrifices were not small, it was a positive trend nonetheless.
“This is indeed heartening,” Shen Hao also felt some gratification.
This indicated that the other path of enhancing civilization had also begun to show effects.
In fact, during this time, his accumulated points feedback also continued to rise.
From earning 10,000 points per day ten days ago, the surge had now reached an explosive 200,000 points per day.
And it was still increasing every day.
This indicated that the weapons, equipment, technology, and ability balls he provided had caused the deaths of a large number of Blood Demons.
“No time to waste, give me the coordinates, and the efficiency should improve even faster,” Shen Hao said directly.
His departure was silent, but his arrival in another area still caused a massive stir.
The people of the selected country were incredibly invigorated.
Even the soldiers on the battlefield seemed to suddenly possess tremendous courage.
While part of this was due to propaganda, Shen Hao’s arrival indeed provided significant support.
His “Thunder” had now reached Level 5, granting him a new power—control over lightning.
In stormy weather, Thunder’s enhancement saw substantial growth, and this time, the weather just happened to comply.
Within the massive thunderclouds, thick bolts of lightning constantly slithered and, at certain moments, transformed into hundreds or even thousands of dense, ceaselessly falling lightning bolts that precisely struck the Blood Demons in the cities. This spectacle had even surpassed the levels of natural phenomena and was broadcast worldwide by cameras!
“Even if Zeus were alive, he would be no better!”
Such a phrase spread far and wide with this footage!
The scene was indeed too astonishing.
Even many people’s mythical imaginations of gods paled in comparison to this!
If Shen Hao had arrived thousands, or even hundreds of years earlier, he would have indeed become a real deity, leaving his own legend across the world!
Even today, some areas began to treat him as a deity, as people in crisis needed something to bolster their courage more than ever.
However, Shen Hao himself did not pay much attention to such claims.
As he had said before, he was not a divine being; he always considered himself a member of humanity.
But he would not refuse the admiration of the people.
The “Sovereign” role inherently meant this.
He only stayed in this country for two days, captured five Blood Demon Mothers, and then promptly left for the next location. He left more than half of the Blood Demons behind, but the remaining forces of the country were sufficient to hold on.
The situation remained tense; while people cheered for his strength, the onslaught of Blood Demons around the world grew even more frantic.
He did not have time to carefully clear all the Blood Demons; he had to reverse the situation on this entire continent as soon as possible.
This time, the stay was even shorter, merely a day. He swiftly flew across the entire country’s territory, wiping out the Blood Demons in several major cities, and then hurried to the next place.
In just six short days, he had traversed all the regions of the entire continent.
During these days, every day there were heartening reports announced to the whole world, visibly suppressing the Blood Demon crisis on the continental mainland. However, calls for aid from other continents grew louder and louder.
Finally, with the situation on this continent clarified, Shen Hao also had to start preparing.
He had to prepare to face the more severe challenges in other regions.
After all, within this continent, the Eastern Country had the most Blood Demon Mothers and the strongest military force. Once they quickly cleaned up the internal Blood Demons, it was just a matter of time for the clean sweep in other regions, and it was not strange for Shen Hao to be so efficient in coordination with the troops.
However, other continents were different.
There were stronger military forces!
The number of Blood Demon Mothers was also more, and the number of Blood Demon subordinates was just as many, and consequently, the strength of individual Blood Demons was significantly stronger!
Choosing to first clear the surrounding areas was actually taking an approach of handling the easier tasks before the more difficult ones.
“One hundred and twenty-three million points,” Shen Hao looked at the accumulated points with some regret, “It seems that it’s not possible to upgrade to White Level 10 before going to West State.”
Indeed, he planned to go to West State first.
The situation in the Northern Alliance was equally dangerous, but West State was the key battlefield, and more importantly, the situation there was deteriorating too rapidly.
Recent intelligence indicated that Blood Demons were clearly adjusting tactics, and during the period when Shen Hao was rapidly cleaning up the surrounding areas, large numbers of Blood Demon Mothers began using various methods to head towards West State.
Furthermore, not only the defeated and fleeing Blood Demon Mothers from within this continent but also some from the Northern Alliance were leaving.
They also took away many high-level Blood Demons, and Blood Demons in West State were making strong efforts to meet them.
Clearly, the Blood Demons were not foolish.
If humans understood how to establish a united front, Blood Demons also knew, and continuing to disperse across the world would only allow Shen Hao to resolve them one by one quickly.
