Chapter 102: End of the Test [Book 01 Epilogue]

“Hey Adrian!” Lucy said excitedly when she saw that I'd answered the call. “What took you so long to answer?”

Seeing how she was acting, I was a little surprised. Normally Lucy kept a more serene, calm, composed demeanor, but now she was excited, a little euphoric, quite different from how I was used to seeing her.

“Hey Lucy.” I replied with a smile. “I was in the divine world developing a new feature for the internet.”

“New feature?” She asked curiously.

“Yeah, something to help me keep an eye on what users are doing and to encourage them to spend even more time online.” I said without explaining much.

Although the AI was harmless, telling them that I was spying on all internet users, including other gods like them, was something that wouldn't do me any good.

“What's the reason for the call?” I asked curiously, with a few hypotheses.

At my question, Lucy cracked a small smile. “I've accumulated over 20 million Divine Power Points, I think I'm ready to become a Rank 1 Elemental God!”

Hearing this news, a smile appeared on my face. “Congratulations Lucy! Now we'll have two Elemental Gods in our pantheon! I believe that in a few days Zane will also become an Elemental God like us.”

With this war over, the total amount of Divine Power Points I had spent was over 50 million.

All because I was investing in the big show that was the promotional video for the internet.

If I just wanted to end the war as quickly as possible, I could simply use the power of Lucy's sound waves and with less than 10 million Divine Power Points I would have wiped out the demons.

But ending the war without a big show wasn't profitable for me.

It might seem that spending more than 50 million Divine Power Points on a show was a big waste of money, but after observing how easily my emissaries were converting believers of other Gods into my believers proved that it was all worth it.

And not only would this video work in this world, but I could also reuse this same video for other worlds and this investment would only bring me more and more profit.

Not to mention that Lucy and Zane were able to accumulate so much Divine Power during the war because their presence in battle wasn't necessary.

I could have forced them to join me in the war, but what would that have done for me?

In the end, I might even have to share the fame of this battle with them, so that the Internet God's prestige in the eyes of believers wouldn't be as great as it is now.

So letting them keep the 20% of the Divine Power Points that the internet yielded while I used their divinity as I saw fit was a great profit for me.

“So Adrian...” She said a little embarrassed. “Do you have any tips for me as I work my way up the ranks? I'm a bit nervous about making such a big breakthrough...”

Thinking about what it was like for me to evolve, there was only one thing I could suggest to her. “Enjoy the feeling of evolution...” I said. “The euphoric feeling of ascending a great realm is much more satisfying than that of ascending a small realm, so take your time and enjoy every moment.”

Remembering how powerful I was feeling as I absorbed the Divine Power, the only thing I could suggest to her was to enjoy this moment.

“Can't you recommend anything more... useful?” She asked embarrassed.

Laughing, I replied, “If you're afraid for your safety, you don't have to worry about that. Don't forget that your divine body was currently at school, protected by teachers who are much more powerful gods than we are.”

Hearing this, Lucy was still a little uneasy, but she accepted my suggestion and went off to make her evolution.

Seeing how nervous she was, with such a contrast to how she normally acted, made me laugh at the situation.

After saying goodbye to her, I turned my focus to the small world and how things were developing.

Since the end of the war, the power of the alliance of my 7 kingdoms had spread like fire in a haystack to the various other kingdoms.

From the information the magicians were sending to Arcantor, gods from various capitals in other countries were very frightened as they issued deadly decrees to the Kings of the countries they dominated to avoid waging war against me as much as possible.

Seeing that everything was under control, I returned to the divine world, taking advantage of Lucy's encouragement, but this time with the intention of really rising in rank.

Feeling the divine power coursing through my body, the sensation was very good, not as incredible as ascending a great kingdom, but still very satisfying.

With the war over and all the other kingdoms afraid of my empire, I still kept on the alert, but it was all unnecessary.

The next 10 days passed like a breeze.

Every day I gained a few thousand believers, undermined the power of other gods in their own kingdoms and grew stronger and stronger as a result.

Looking at my Status window which indicated that I was already a Rank 3 Elemental God, a proud smile was on my face.

In these last 10 days, both Lucy and Zane had successfully become Elemental Gods, making our pantheon the only one to have gods at this level of power in the small world.

If we wanted to, we could fly all over the small world killing the divine consciousnesses of all the other remaining gods, but none of us had any interest in doing that.

There were only a few minutes left to finish the test, but for someone who had spent two such intense months in this small world, those minutes seemed like hours.

Not knowing when I'd be able to return to the small world again, since I'd probably have some things to deal with in the divine world, I told the regents of each kingdom that I'd be unavailable so that they wouldn't do anything stupid.

The growth of believers on the internet was already steady.

The efforts of the emissaries were bringing me an average of 40,000 new believers every day.

As long as no war took place and several believers died, in just over two months I would double my number of believers, and considering that the time in the mortal world was double that of the divine world, that time would only be half for me, so it was even less reason for me to seek war.

Sure, the other gods wouldn't stay quiet when they saw that they were losing believers, but when it really came down to it, what could they do against a god several times more powerful than them? Or rather, three gods?

In the end they would have to make do with the few thousand believers they had left, or submit to me and receive a percentage of the internet depending on how useful they could be.

Shaking my head and leaving this matter for later, as soon as I heard the announcement that the test was over I pulled my consciousness out of my little world and back into the divine world.

Rising from my chair and looking into the mirror in my booth for the last time, I nodded to my reflection, proud of everything I had achieved in this test, and confident that I had done my best.

I knew that small worlds like these were very common for gods more powerful than me, that in the future I would conquer much larger and more powerful worlds, but I know that this small world will always be special to me, since it was here that the first believer in the God of the Internet appeared.

Even more so when I consider that since my consciousness came to this world, I have spent much more time living in that small world than in the divine world.

At that point, that small world was more my home than here...

There were much more powerful worlds for me to explore, worlds where mortals could even be stronger than my current strength, but I was confident in my path.

My growth was rapid, my potential limitless.

Looking one last time at the cabin I had lived in for the past two months, I decided to use my divinity to engrave the look of this place so that I would never forget where I started.

With one last look, I went to the exit door of the cabin and turned the handle, allowing the light from the corridor to come in and the faces of the various students who had competed with me in this test to emerge.

Among the dozens of faces I was seeing, two faces broke into big smiles as soon as they saw me.

Lucy, who was in the booth next to me, and Zane, who was at the other end of the corridor, but who came up to me with a big smile.

Looking at the two friends I'd made in this test, I just ignored the spiteful gaze of a Thunder God who was staring at me.

With Lucy and Zane by my side, I didn't even bother to pay attention to Zack and went off to talk to them while the other students were shocked and made way for us, feeling our power far greater than that of all of them.

End of Book 01.

///NunuNote//

Hello everyone, Nunu here!

It took longer than I thought to finish this first book, a total of over 160,000 words, or almost 600 pages, but the result was great.

Thank you all so much for your support on this journey, I know that without each and every one of you this book probably wouldn't have gotten this far.

I'll be counting on you here tomorrow to start reading the first chapter of Book 02 of God of Internet.

Ps. Does anyone have any ideas for the name of this first book? I have no idea what to name it XD
