God of Internet

Chapter 64: Plan

At this point, only iMonsters run by large cities had evolved, since the large cities of medieval worlds like these had less than 100k people, and since the price of leveling up iMonsters doubled with each level, to reach Lv 20 you had to accumulate a total of almost 260k PIC in cookies to feed the iMonsters.

And since the trainers of these more powerful iMonsters didn't feed the iMonsters with all the PIC they received from the commoners, because they needed to keep a large amount of PIC in case they needed to summon the creature into battle, there were few iMonsters that evolved.

Even though the evolution level of iMonsters was only Lv16, there weren't many evolved iMonsters.

And since the Internet didn't support users uploading pictures, the appearance of evolved iMonsters was only known to people who could see the creatures, so it was impossible for Sidney to have seen an evolved iMonster since he wasn't even in Arcantor.

But I didn't worry too much about that.

I just let Sidney and Christopher continue their conversation and Christopher's planning for when he would carry out the attack on his father and brother, and decided to contact Lucy.

Looking at my contact list, there she was.

The advantage of our shared divinity was that she could also access my internet, even though she was also a goddess.

And from what I noticed in her Internet usage data, Lucy was just as addicted to it as mortals.

When I called her, the call was answered in just a few seconds, only unlike mortals, Lucy and I could see each other through the call, since she also had my ability to observe who was using the Internet.

"Hey Lucy!" I smiled as I waved at her.

"Hey Adrian, did you fight Zack?" She asked me worriedly.

Considering that she also had access to the internet, and that there had been comments about strange things from people who lived near where we had fought, it was understandable that she would deduce that. And I had no reason to lie.

"Yeah, with his divinity, he's pretty easy to deal with." I smiled as I explained the course of the battle, how I used my mastery of sound waves to completely counter Zack, causing shock to cover her face.

"I had no idea that my deity had such a huge advantage over him..." She finally managed to answer after a few seconds.

"Yes, with this newfound advantage, I plan to attack his realm as soon as I ascend to Elemental God, do you want to come with me?" I asked.

With our partnership, I could even demand that she go with me to help me in battle, but knowing that I could handle him with ease and that I had much more divine power than her, I would accept if she had any reason to stay in her realm.

But Lucy nodded quickly.

"Sure! You're already helping me so much by teaching me about my own divinity, not to mention the divine power I get from the internet every day for doing practically nothing, I'll definitely help you out at a time like this." She said, her hair shining with excitement.

Considering that Lucy was already receiving 100,000 Divine Power points a day, and that this average was increasing every day as the number of believers was also increasing, she was already receiving much more Divine Power from the Internet than she was receiving from the direct prayers of her believers.

But she asked me an important question. "How long will it take you to reach the Elemental God?"

Considering how much I was receiving, how much I was spending, and the daily increase in the Internet population, with Arcantor, Eldoria, Novera, and Valoria receiving direct believers, the first two realms already somewhat saturated, but the two new realms bringing in many new believers every day, my estimate was pretty close.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"I think I'll reach the 12.8 million Divine Power points needed to rank up in 4 or 5 days, but since I'm keeping a few million more Divine Power points for safekeeping after the evolution, I should be able to rank up in 5 to 6 days," I said. I said.

Hearing this, Lucy's eyes widened.

"You're going to be able to become an Elemental God in less than 40 days of trial?!?" She asked with her mouth open in an 'o' shape.

Laughing, I nodded. "Possibly, depending on how things develop after the attack on Zack's realm, it might not even be impossible to reach Elemental God rank 2 before the end of the event."

Lucy was even more shocked by this possibility. "In five or six days, I'll probably have gathered enough divine power to become a Rank 9 Embryonic God, so I can help you even more in battle."

When I heard this, my eyes lit up, because when Lucy rises to Rank 9, her deity that I have access to will also rise in rank, allowing me to use even greater powers, and the cost of Divine Power will be reduced due to the greater efficiency in using it, which was great news!

"This is great. We can discuss everything before the raid on Zack, and if you need it, I can lend you some Divine Power points for the battle. It's better to be safe than to risk taking you into battle with little Divine Power available for combat, even if we are two gods." I explained, causing Lucy to smile and nod.

"Then I'll be rude and ask for Divine Power in case I need it that day." She said.

However, I also took advantage of the call to tell Lucy about [Mystic Melody], the app I had created specifically for her deity.

Hearing that she would have such an interesting app with so much potential for future use, Lucy was even more excited about how much divine power she could receive from it in the future.

"Thank you so much for this app, Adrian! Do you think I could compose a song like you and put it on this app?" she asked a little embarrassed.

"Sure, it's your app, if you want to sing your songs and post them on it, you can do it without any problem." I smiled as I answered.

After chatting about these more official matters, we began to talk about more mundane matters, such as the interesting things we found in the mortal world, interesting gossip that people posted on the Internet, and various other miscellaneous topics.

It was fun to have someone else to talk to so openly during this trial.

With each God isolated in his own cabin, my only contact during the past 30 days had been with mortals who regarded me as a superior being and treated me with extreme respect or even fear, leaving me no opportunity for such relaxed conversations.

Lucy was in the same situation as I was, or even worse, since I could at least read about the lives of the faithful on the Internet or watch them with my deity when I was bored, whereas she had no access to any of this before our agreement.

Our conversation was so pleasant that, without realizing it, we spent a few hours on the phone talking non-stop until the mortal world went dark and we returned to the divine world to sleep.

The next day I looked at my system with a smile on my face.

=========================

| Character Status

=========================

| Name: Adrian Innovashine

| Titles: God of Creativity, God of the Internet

| Average usage per user: 4 hours

|------------------------

| Available Deities: Creativity, Waves.

|------------------------

| Divine Power: 3,537,529 / 12,800,000 -> 5,625,489 / 12,800,000 (+2,291,058 -103,097 (Lucy's Share) -100,000 (Prince Christopher's iMonster))

=========================

I added a tab to show the deities I had available.

Even though I only had two deities so far, with my idea of a big partnership with other gods, it would only be a matter of time before that number increased.

But looking at my Divine Power was what really made me smile.

Even with the cost of Lucy's Divine Power share and the cost I had incurred with Christopher's iMonster, I had still received more than 2 million Divine Power points of profit in one day!

Looking at Christopher's iMonster, I realized that he had already used his iMonster to kill his father and brother, which made me feel a little conflicted.

Was it weird to support a madman who killed his own father and brother? Yeah, sure.

My memory of Adrian from my previous world was responsible for making me feel that way, but the memories of Adrian from this world calmed me down and made me see it as something natural...

It was contradictory to be the facilitator of this.

Theoretically, I could have grown up in Valoria on my own, without Christopher's help, but I would have wasted a lot of time doing that, something I didn't have in this test.

I think I'd have to control myself a lot to avoid becoming a cold-blooded god like the Divine School trained us to be.

Sure, I wouldn't go so far as to be evil to help others, but without such a tight deadline as this test, I wouldn't have to make it so easy for innocent people to die...

Putting that thought aside, I decided to just enjoy my day by studying the Wave Divinity further to replicate it more effectively with my god, and read some useful books from the divine library over the next few days until I could rank up again.

I might feel sorry for the mortals of this world, but I didn't feel sorry for the gods... Zack had killed tens of thousands of people in his battle with the God of the Mountains, so dealing with him in a harder way, with real consequences for his divine body, would still be easy.

Then I could let loose against him without worrying so much during my invasion of his realm...
