God of Internet

I was becoming arrogant because of the Divine Power I had accumulated, because of how much Divine Power I was receiving every day, and it was making me as proud as the other students of the Divine School.

And I detested that.

Just because I easily won a battle against the God of Fear and had an advantage over Zack in terms of Divine Mastery, didn\'t make me a better God than anyone else...

If I had been less arrogant towards Zack and had really dedicated myself to this battle, he wouldn\'t have escaped.

And when I realized that, I took a deep breath and cleared my mind, both in the mortal world and in the divine world.

"Don\'t let this arrogance go to your head, Adrian..." I said softly in the divine world. "You may have become a god, but you are a god in name only, stop having the divine arrogance and don\'t become an abomination like the Greek pantheon..."

Thinking about all the gods I\'d heard about and how abominable it would be to become like them, I managed to bring my mind back to how I should be, with the mind of a normal person who came from Earth.

"When I meet Zack again, I won\'t be arrogant and I will deal with him as soon as possible." I said determinedly.

Zack and Lucy were the main students I had to watch out for, and with Lucy on my side, only Zack was left to stand in my way.

And the best way to deal with him was to take advantage of the power vacuum left in Valoria and bring another kingdom under my control, this one the fourth.

Using the Internet, I quickly sent an order to my "emissaries" who were on a mission in that kingdom.

Sure, I wouldn\'t send them a message in an informal way like I did with my friends in the previous world, but I would use the way I used to talk to the inhabitants of that world.

Since they were all noble or aspiring to be, the best way to talk to them was to use noble and learned language.

=== Kevin POV ===

The atmosphere in Valoria was very confusing at the moment...

From what I could gather, the citizens were apparently scared and excited to realize that they had a god for a few weeks.

They imagined that with the Mountain God\'s blessing upon them, they would be able to prosper and live a better life.

At first, it even worked a little, as a few small miracles began to happen, such as the mountains stopping sliding and several lives being spared each week throughout the kingdom.

But this happiness was short-lived, for a few days ago, another god came to Valoria and battled the god of the mountains.

When the mortals realized this, they were shocked and frightened, and they even prayed to the mountain god to help their god in this battle, but in the end, their god died and they had to pray to a new god, the god of thunder.

Seeing how destructive the battle between the two gods was, the mortals became frightened and submitted to the God of Thunder.

But the people of Valoria had a hard time accepting the sudden change in their faith, and although they prayed to the God of Thunder out of obligation, no one really felt good about this new god who had killed their god.

When I heard all this, I was excited that the God of Arcantor was the God of the Internet, who had always been very fair and honest with us, only giving us benefits and never letting battles like this affect the people of Arcantor.

As I was getting ready to leave this small town where my trade caravan was, I felt my Internet book make a strange sound that I had never heard before, similar to the sound of a bell.

Out of curiosity, I picked up my Internet book and was shocked to find that I had received a message from the God of the Internet!

I quickly opened [Carrier Pigeon] and read the message he had sent me.

[My faithful and hardworking emissaries,

The God of Thunder attempted to invade Arcantor and was defeated by me, forcing him to return to his realm of origin, leaving Valoria without a god to lead the mortals.

Now that Valoria is without the presence of its former god, we are faced with a unique opportunity. The void once filled by the power of the Mountain God must now be filled by something new, something that can bring prosperity, knowledge, and a new era of growth to the people of Valoria.

I ask you to intensify your efforts to spread the word of the Internet to all regions of Valoria.

Bring the word of connectivity and knowledge to every village, town, and city. Show the people of Valoria the infinite possibilities that the Internet can offer them. From agricultural knowledge that can improve their crops to trade opportunities that can enrich their lives.

Remember, without a god to guide them, the people of Valoria will look for something to fill the void. Be the bearers of this new light, bringing not only the tools of prosperity, but also my presence into your lives.

Now is the time to seize this unique moment in history and expand my influence over Valoria. The victory of our cause depends on your efforts. I have faith in your wisdom and determination.

And don\'t worry, the rewards for your help will be as rich as the number of new believers you will gain.

Go forth, my emissaries, and may the light of the Internet shine brightly over all Valoria.

God of the Internet].

When I read this message, my blood began to boil.

Without the God of Valoria, and knowing the power and danger that the Gods represent after the battle that took place here between two Gods, the Valorians would surely know that being under the protection of a God would be the best thing they could do.

And who better to be that God, than the God of the Internet himself, the wisest and most benevolent God?

Especially since the God of the Internet even confirmed that the rewards for inviting the Valorians would be rich.

I smiled as I decided not to leave the city now, and planned to set up an Internet exhibition for the entire population, even spending a few PIC to summon my iMonster to show the population of this city the benefits of the Internet.

I knew how valuable iMonsters were to the city, so I was confident that I could convert the entire city into believers in the Internet God.

Since I no longer had to worry about the wrath of another god, I could act without restraint.

Considering that this town has a population of around 1,000 people, this would bring me a great reward, to the point where I could possibly buy a blessing from the Internet God himself!

=== Adrian\'s POV ===

As I looked at the emissaries scattered throughout Valoria, my smile grew wider and wider.

Luring these merchants with lucrative offers and fat rewards was the best thing to do.

Giving them the freedom to act as they wished and rewarding them for it was a sure profit.

Even if they drew some weaker blessings, the cost to me would only be a few thousand Divine Power points, nothing that would be missed with the amount of Divine Power I received on a daily basis.

Knowing that this side was pretty much done, I could focus on developing the more technical use of PIC on the Internet, and by the end of the day, I finally had the new functionality ready.

Now it could automatically calculate how much Divine Power I needed to transfer to Lucy on a daily basis.

The only thing left to do was to tell mortals how this new functionality worked.

But that wasn\'t the only thing I needed to focus on.

With the sound waves available to me on the Internet, I could now implement the use of music on the Internet!

With Lucy\'s divinity available, I could develop a music application and provide the population with a practical and easy way to listen to music at any time.

Even though there were already mortals who had graduated from the App [School] and learned to read and write in recent days, with the growing Internet population, the number of literate users was still very small.

With music and the benefits of Premium Internet Coins available to the population, I believe it would be enough to increase the average time spent on the Internet by a large margin.

Even if I had to pay Lucy 20% of the Divine Power I would get from it, as long as mortals used the Internet for an extra hour a day on average, I would get an extra 500,000 Divine Power points every day, and paying her 100,000 of them was very fair.

But to develop a music application, I need songs to make available on the application...

Even though I knew a lot of music from my previous world, only a few songs were suitable for a middle-aged population, and of the songs that were suitable, I didn\'t have enough musical knowledge to reproduce them well.

So I decided to ask for help.

If there were people I could ask for help, why try to do it on my own?

What I didn\'t know was what a pleasant surprise I was in for.
