Chapter 98: End of the battle"How... how is that possible? I'm many times more powerful than the god I killed, but I still can't even kill his summoned beasts?" Victor said in frustration as he suffered in battle against the four iMonsters I had summoned.
Smiling, I said calmly. "Just as there are different levels of power among demons, there are also different levels of power among gods."
I raised my hand and floated a small translucent blue dagger.
"The god you faced was only a small god, both in this mortal world and in the divine world."
Raising my other hand, I made a large, imposing translucent blue sword appear. "The God of the Internet, my Lord, is currently the most powerful God in this mortal world, followed by the Goddess of Waves and the God of Fear, forming the Pantheon of the Internet, the most powerful group in this mortal world. The difference in power between the God of the Internet and the God you defeated is like comparing your power to a mortal".
As soon as I said this, the big sword cut into the small dagger and absorbed its power before it began to glow and spread to the soldiers below me.
"And of course, as followers of the greatest god of this mortal world, the greatest beneficiaries of this are the followers of the God of the Internet." I said as I pointed at the mortals.
As soon as the blue light touched them, their bodies glowed slightly and their wounds began to heal, causing horror among the demons who now had to deal with even stronger humans than they had when they first faced each other.
Feeling the power in their bodies, it was clear that the soldiers were proud to follow the Internet God, which was exactly the effect I wanted to create.
When I finished editing this video and made it available for all believers to see, it would create a sense of pride in my believers that would make them not even consider following other gods.
Something that would not only keep their faith in me unshakable, but would also be a very powerful weapon to undermine the faith of believers in other gods to switch their faith to me.
Seeing Victor almost dying, I thought of something interesting and moulded my internet screen into a shape unique in this world.
A translucent blue Desert Eagle pistol formed in my hand as I smiled and pointed the barrel at Victor.
With my divinity of creativity, I could use any means to attack as long as I could imagine it and had enough divine power to pay for the attack.
So instead of just shooting an energy attack like lightning out of my hand, why not make a means like a pistol and shoot Victor with it?
With a smile on my face, I squeezed the trigger and held it down, causing the energy to materialise at the tip of the gun and build up.
Particles of energy floated around me as they concentrated on the tip of the weapon.
Every second this energy grew larger, attracting the attention of both the soldiers below me and Victor, who began to sense the danger from my weapon.
Sensing the growing danger, Victor unleashed his full power and in a frenzy managed to cut off the squirrel's head, reducing the battle from one against four to one against three.
His attack was so powerful that the remnants of the power that passed through the squirrel flew into the barrier protecting the soldiers, causing cracks in it.
Seeing the possibility of victory, Victor concentrated on making powerful attacks on the iMonsters while facing the soldiers, trying to kill my believers and probably using their souls to become stronger in the middle of the battle, but he didn't notice that the squirrel's severed head magically popped back into place, making him ready for battle again.
Realising King Victor's plan, instead of ordering the squirrel to return to the battle, I simply ordered it to stand in front of the soldiers and protect them from the demon's remaining attacks.
Every attack that came was countered by the squirrel with his sword and the power of the wind and grass, to the point that even Victor couldn't ignore it and began to feel despair.
Feeling the power gathering at the tip of my pistol, Victor saw that there was no escape and tried to turn and flee, using all the demonic power he had at his disposal to fly as fast as possible.
Strangely, the iMonsters didn't chase after him, making him think he really could get away.
But at that moment, the finger that held the trigger loosened, and the 15 million Divine Power Points I had accumulated in that attack was fired in the direction of the fleeing demon.
The sky, which had already darkened during the battle, suddenly turned completely white, as if the sun was shining at full midday power, while a beam of blue light flew faster than the eyes of weaker deities could follow from the tip of my pistol to Victor's chest.
The hole in his chest, which began as a needle-sized hole, grew larger and larger, until after a second it had grown to the point where it swallowed Victor completely.
He didn't even have time to scream before his body was completely obliterated.

The lightning didn't stop after passing through his body, flying on until it hit a mountain, causing a deafening explosion.
But after the explosion, there was only silence.
The humans were shocked by this power, and even the demons fighting the soldiers were shocked and stopped fighting.
I just looked at the pistol in my hand with a smile and slightly raised eyebrows before releasing it and transforming this holographic Desert Eagle back into the shape of my holographic blue internet screen.
Looking at the soldiers, I smiled and said. "The biggest enemy is defeated, guys, I'll leave these weaker demons for you to farm your internet coins.
This was a signal for the soldiers to go back into battle and fight with even more excitement to get their Internet Coins for killing demons!
When a soldier was about to receive a fatal attack, one of the four Divine iMonsters would attack the demon that was about to kill him, protecting the soldier's life and earning his gratitude.
This battle lasted only 30 minutes before all the demons were killed.
Everything I found interesting was recorded and ready for me to edit and turn into the epic battle I wanted so badly.
With a recording like this in my hands, it was only a matter of time before I would rule this mortal world.
Looking at my status screen, I felt a small pang of pain as I saw how much divine power I had lost in this battle.

Of the 33 million Divine Power points I had before, I only had 1.2 million Divine Power points left...
Sure, now that I had some peace time, I could just passively accumulate Divine Power without having to pay so much for the next few days, which would give me a long-awaited period of growth again, but seeing that I had spent more than 30 million in just one war made me realise that my style of discreet development was much easier.
Looking at the kingdoms of Galvaris and Zephyros that I had dominated, with how many people Victor had already killed, I probably had just over 200,000 believers left, maybe 300,000 total if you added the two kingdoms together.
I would need at least 30 days of those believers praying to me 5 times a day to fully recover my Divine Power costs from those battles.
If I had infiltrated this kingdom discreetly, as I did with the kingdoms neighbouring Arcantor, not only would I not have my Divine Power costs, but I could still reap that profit with ease.
Too bad those demons decided to invade the kingdom and forced me to fight them.
But as I looked around at the various kingdoms I hadn't come into contact with yet, kingdoms with populations ranging from 400,000 to 600,000 people, a smile appeared on my face.
I was in no hurry to conquer these kingdoms, but I knew that eventually all of them would be mine...
