I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 400

Chapter 400 – Supernatural Events Are All A Hoax?

At the top of the twenty-eighth step lay the corpse of Christ wrapped in linen, which was stained with red blood.

Beside the body of Christ was a blood-soaked silver dagger. This was the dagger that the Pope used to stab him. As the dagger was stained with the blood of God, it had been transformed into a holy relic.

Although the Lance of Destiny, Longinus, was famous in legends and was even claimed to be able to subjugate any enemy, it was ultimately a legend. On the other hand, this dagger was different. It was a dagger stained with the blood of Christ as witnessed by the world. As a result, the internet had been calling it the Dagger of Destiny.

Although the dagger had become a Catholic holy relic, the Pope did not dare casually wear it on his person, because it was stained with the blood of God. As a result, it had been placed beside the body of Christ as an object of worship.

After Christ saved the world with his ‘death’, the legacy he left behind was also coveted by other major powers. However, even the world’s number one power did not dare force the Catholic Church to give Christ’s legacy to them for study. In the end, various countries banded together to pressure the Vatican and got a brief opportunity to study them.

The Vatican was only a mortal church. Facing the pressure of countries with powerful weapons, they were unable to reject them in the end. Instead, they made a compromise as they did not dare perform any disrespectful behavior to the body of Christ. They only cut off a section of the cloth and temporarily handed over the dagger for scientists sent by various countries to study.

According to the experiments conducted by the scientist, they discovered that the dagger’s atomic structure had changed after being stained with God’s blood. It had turned into material that could not be found on Earth. Moreover, the dagger did not change at all even if it was placed in high temperatures, pressures, and other extreme environments.

Because of the appearance of this dagger, Earth’s knowledge of known materials had a breakthrough. Some scientists excitedly exclaimed that if the dagger’s material could be explored, it would be possible to create a new generation of spacecraft.

On modern Earth, many sciences had been largely developed and formed many theories, but only material sciences were progressing slowly, resulting in limitations. As long as there was a breakthrough in materials, human technology would obtain a huge development.

However, this was all a pipe dream as humans could never make such materials, especially the dagger stained in God’s blood that seemed to possess a mysterious ability. Any mortal that had seen it would feel their soul tremble and want to worship it.

Other than the dagger, the cloth had also been a subject of research. The scientists had come to incredible conclusions. Some medical experts had tried to wrap the cloth on a person’s amputated arm and were surprised to find out that it began to slowly grow back. This had far exceeded the limits of medical miracles. It was a miracle that far exceeded human understanding.

Iit was speculated that the cloth had the power to make human cells divide, thus enabling the regeneration of an arm. The disabled man who had recovered his arm also became a devout follower in the end.

In the Archbasilica of Saint John Lateran, many believers made a pilgrimage to the body of Christ under the leadership of the Cardinal. They chanted the sacred text. Several of them would secretly raise their heads to look at the body of Christ in the rock and saw Him lying quietly in the rock. His skin and face were just like a living person as if He was only sleeping and not dead.

Christ’s body wasn’t alive as it had lost its metabolism and even breathing, but no matter how many days passed, the body did not seem to decompose at all and did not even emit the smell that normal corpses did. There was even a faint fragrance coming from it.

After seeing the state of Christ, these believers hurriedly bowed their heads once more to join the prayers of other believers.

These people were actually spies sent by various countries. With the strength of major powers, it was easy for them to forge an entire person’s life, allowing them to fool the Vatican and blend in with the believers.

The governments did not dare do anything with the corpse, as that would only lead to animosity from the Christians all around the world, but they were also interested in the state of the body. Every now and then, they would send spies to obtain first-hand information about Christ.

Naturally, there were also Satanists who believed in Satan and wanted to destroy the body, but with the heavy protection of the Roman government, no one was able to even touch the body let alone steal it.

……

In an internet cafe in Rome, a man with black hair and eyes sat in front of a computer poring over web pages. He had inverted pupils and an unusual presence, but nonetheless, people seemed to pay him no mind.

The believers in the basilica had been praying and waiting for Christ’s resurrection after 30 days, while the Christ that they believed in was surfing the internet at an internet cafe. If the believers knew about this, their worldview would definitely collapse.

Louie’s true body had returned to Earth, while he had left his time incarnation in the world of San Soliel. After the gods had recovered, the time rate of the two worlds had also changed. Even the space-time wormhole of the Terran Civilization had become uncontrollable. With the difference in time rate, there were many unknowns, so Louie had left his time incarnation in the world of San Soleil, to ease the different time rates.

Today’s San Soliel’s world time rate far exceeded that of Earth, so much so that the Earth’s time had slowed down.

“I suspect that all transcendental events that happened in this world are hoaxes. There are simply too many coincidences in these supernatural events. If you do the math carefully, there are far greater chances that these are hoaxes than real phenomena.”

“Of course, I do not deny the possible authenticity of the supernatural powers because current science simply could not explain those powers, but taking on another perspective, only a small number of people have mastered these powers. They might have united together to deceive the world, or they might even just be extraterrestrial technology that was put into use! How else could we not explain it with modern science?”

“If these supernatural events were real, why do they occur so infrequently? I don’t believe that not a single modern person has mastered supernatural powers among the 7 billion people in the modern human population!”

“Therefore, I’m sure that this is the biggest hoax being played against mankind. All of us have been deceived!”

Louie took a cup of coffee in his hand and gently sipped as he read the comments on the internet. These doubts about supernatural events have circulated all over the world. There were many people who believed it, and Louie even knew that some governments were already doubting the events that had transpired. There were simply too many loopholes in the events that he had created. The governments had only turned a blind eye to these statements because the power that Louie showed simply could not be explained by technology.

“The great ancestor once said, once something comes into the hands of the masses will they accept it.”

Louie put down his coffee and entered into deep thought. It did not take long for him to come to a decision.

The amount of power that he had displayed was simply too overwhelming that there was no foundation to it. This was the main reason for people’s suspicion. Power should start from the weak to become strong. Louie had shown only the powerful side but did not show its beginnings, which created a natural loophole.

In order to make more people believe in the existence of gods and the supernatural, Louie decided to begin another play, a play wherein mortals would become participants!
