I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 289

Chapter 289 – You Shall Not Learn From Cain!

“Who are you? Don’t move!”

Although the Kenyan government troops were somewhat lax, they still swaggered over with guns in their hands when the ‘enemies’ approached.

A group of soldiers in full uniform ran out. They took the guns in their hand and aimed at the strange man in front as well as the believers behind him who were whispering prayers.

“What’s happening? What’s happening?”

An SUV drove over and a middle-aged man smoking a cigar jumped out. He wore a beret and had many medallions on his chest, clearly indicating his seniority.

“Sir, these people suddenly appeared in front of the barracks. We were just about to interrogate them as to their identities.”

“Hmmm?”

The officer took a puff of his cigar while looking at the group carefully. He relaxed after seeing that they did not have any weapons and smiled, “Isn’t this the resistance? Did you come here to surrender?”

“Go, escort them all to the square. Anyone who resists will be killed.”

He thought that the rebels had finally given into the pangs of hunger and thirst.

As for the strange man at the head of the group, he did not care at all.

These soldiers had been stationed here for a long time and didn’t have much communication with the outside world. Additionally, although Louie just performed a miracle not long ago, these soldiers did not know what happened in the village.

The military men followed their commander and walked forward with their guns. Behind them were armored vehicles that had their mounted guns pointed at the group. Although their models were significantly dated, their lethality remained potent enough to mow through crowds in minutes.

The crowd behind “Christ” stirred, instinctively cowering at this display. Only a few of them whose faith lay firmer than bedrock did not bother to even glance at the soldiers. Their fortitude quickly spread to their fellow believers, however, and soon all of them stood firmly on their feet

The commanding officer’s instincts informed him that there was something slightly amiss with the situation. The belligerents’ behavior was quite unexpected in his experience.

Suddenly, their leader spoke up in a calm tone. His voice was not loud, but everyone could feel as if he was talking right next to them.

“Worship me as your Lord.”

At this, the soldiers froze in place. Those simple words which weren’t even particularly loud seemed to boom within their souls. The bloodthirst they had cultivated through lifetimes of murder quickly began to dissolve like salt in water.

The commanding officer began to panic. Taking two steps back, he wondered why the fellow in front of him gave such a sense of foreboding. He collected his thoughts and with a shivering voice replied, “Ha…Ha… What are you saying? What Lord are you talking about? Aren’t you just a psychopath?”

Despite his response, a terrible possibility began to creep into his thoughts. Recalling all the mystical events that had taken the world by storm in recent months, he shuddered at the idea that he was at the center of a supernatural event.

“AHHHHH!”

Just then, a scream came from the camp. A poor civilian was likely being abused in some way.

“Those are your brothers and sisters.”

‘Christ” once again spoke out. His face was calm as he spoke, “Who do you think I am?”

As his words fell, the disciples behind him spoke with blessing in their hearts, “You are Christ, the living God!”

The voices of hundreds of people were deafening. As the words fell, the sound of screams and people moving came from the midst of the barracks.

“What’s happening? What’s happening!?”

The officer shouted in horror, wondering what was taking place behind him.

Then he saw many soldiers near him burst into tears and threw down the guns in their hands. They acted like the believers and kneeled down and prayed, but some of them remained stubborn and held their guns indifferently.

Louie had turned on [Evil Detection], allowing him to see that the barracks were covered in a deep red light. Nonetheless, some points were only slightly red, signifying that not all of the members of the army were willingly partaking in atrocities.

Louie’s words carried the spell [Suggestion] and even divine power. He did this in order to bring out the goodness and kindness in people. The sound of guns being fired previously was done by the good soldiers as they suddenly ambushed the abusers.

‘At this rate, wouldn’t my camp become part of the orderly camp? Maybe I should go hug the Goddess of Morning’s thighs.’

Louie who was acting as Christ was calm on the surface, but he was inwardly muttering.

Although he had performed a miracle before this, that simple miracle was not enough to convince people that he was Christ, so Louie had no choice but to go on a long journey of preaching just like Jesus did. This was more in line with Christian doctrine. To create a new gospel, he had to act more like Christ. How else were people going to believe that he was the savior?

It was not enough with just power and miracles, because the devil could also do the same thing. Louie wanted to play Christ and learned as much as he could about what Christ did. Otherwise, other people might just treat him as a liar with mysterious powers.

At this moment, Louie’s finger moved without a trace. He released the legendary transformation spell that he had prepared long ago – [Area Hex]

“You shall not learn from Cain, who has done evil and killed his brother. He died because he was evil! Brothers should treat each other with kindness!”

With Louie’s words, in the eyes of the believers, the cameras of the war correspondents, and the monitoring satellite overhead had all recorded that all the evil soldiers inside the barracks had been turned into frogs!

In the Bible, it’s said that Adam and Eve’s eldest son, Cain, had killed his younger brother, Abel. As a result, God had cursed Cain to never see the light and bear the eternal sin. Cain was the ancestor of all evil people, and thus became the ancestor of vampires.

TLN: This is fiction, and I’m not sure what reference the author is making. LOL

Editor: He’s been smoking crack for this entire arc

Although vampires were popular figures in contemporary culture, even the most sanitized representations of them often portrayed them as parasitic existences. Louie also knew spells that could turn people into vampires, but he felt that such a punishment would be too harsh for them. Thus, he simply turned them into frogs.

“Croak, croak…”

A cascade of ribbits poured out from the ground. Where hundreds of soldiers once stood were now frogs running amok.

“Oh, God…”

A French journalist gulped. When he tried to find their leader, who was a devout Christian, he saw that he had somehow run away and joined the walking disciples.

“Christ” did not care how many disciples walked behind him and continued to walk on. When he walked past those who were suffering, the smell of his fragrance healed their wounds and vigor filled their bodies. The weeping children also stopped crying and quietly observed.

“You shall not suffer any longer, for I am here. Your Lord has come. Your suffering will be borne by me.”

The captives inside the barracks as well as the soldiers that still had kindness in their hearts kneeled and cried. The soldiers threw down their weapons and joined Christ’s disciples, causing the group to grow instantly.

All this was filmed by a French journalist, but his colleague noticed something wrong and tapped his shoulder, “You, when did you start streaming.”

The French journalist shivered and looked at his hand. He noticed that he had been live on youtube and his views had reached a shocking ten million. He looked at the frogs running around and said, “I’m spreading the gospel of the Lord! Look at the millions of people who had already joined the Lord!”

“……”

The French journalists looked at each other. At this moment, they weren’t sure what to do as their leader was now following behind Christ.

The live chat was moving so fast with various comments.

“Lord, I wish to repent.”

“Hurry, wifey. Come out and see God. it’s the real God!”

“It really is Christ, the Christ who walks on Earth.”

“My God, I can’t believe I saw Christ in the twenty-first century. Is Judgement Day going to come?”

“The Bible is actually a real book of miracles. I used to think it was made up.”

“Christ turned people into frogs. I want to write a poem…”

“Miss Angel, where is Miss Angel. If there is Christ, doesn’t that mean there are angels!”

TLN: Imagine meeting a biblically accurate angel.

“You disgusting man, angels are genderless. There may even be a separate genus.”

“It’s fine if you say it. If you truly dare do this in front of the real Christ, then I can only pray for you.”

“Christ will not condemn you for these verbal words. God loves the world and Christ will carry all sins for us.”

……

Police stations in many Christian-dominated countries were extremely busy. The police were shocked to find countless fugitives and criminals coming to the police station to confess. They cried and asked the police to send them to prison. These people were afraid that their sins while alive would send them to hell and suffer for eternity.

There were both good and bad effects of the presence of God. The impact of Christ’s descent was still expanding. The most immediate impact was a plummet in crime.
