Chapter 42: Travel

The initiation and elixir bestowing ceremonies were completed perfectly. There was also a dinner party at the winery in the evening. Some impatient people had already found excuses to leave, and were anxious to return to their families to report.

I believe that from today on, the Hirosue family will once again return to the ranks of top families by investing in the Holy Infant Company in advance.

Most of the guests stayed. There weren't many gatherings that could gather so many upper-class people from all walks of life. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get to know more people with the idea of ​​expanding your network.

The five people who took the pills today were undoubtedly the focus of the whole audience.

The two men from the Special Affairs Bureau were protected by their companions, and left early after apologizing to Nakai Hayabusa. The other two old men were the heads of large chaebols, and there were only a few people who could communicate with them on an equal footing.

At this time, they were all in the center of the banquet, discussing something in low voices. Those who were not of high status did not dare to get close to them, for fear of causing the slightest dissatisfaction and thus leading to the destruction of their own family.

With this in mind, people's attention has to shift to Jamie Walton, the second son of the heir to the Walton family.

No one knows how much the Walton family has paid for this position, but as long as he steps into the extraordinary realm, all previous investments will be worth it.

People have long known that the most basic function of the Holy Son Pill is to cure all diseases and prolong life.

In addition, the most people awaken the defensive ability of "super-density defense". A stronger one is the special life-saving ability like Toyokawa Kamikii and the super strong attack and defense power of Nakai Hayabusa.

These news that are difficult for ordinary people to access are not secrets to them.

Many people are now curious about what abilities Walton has awakened.

If it is just ordinary defensive ability, in their eyes, it is not considered to be extraordinary. After all, this is an ability that is almost 100% possessed as long as the pill is taken. It has no offensiveness and cannot defend against attacks from high-powered firearms such as rifles and sniper rifles.

So people from several friendly families kept trying to get information.

"Oh, thank you, Lord Saint Infant. If I have the chance in the future, I will tell you. Please let me keep it a secret now. My place was obtained by the family, so I need to discuss all this with the family."

Facing temptations from all sides, Walton seemed to not care about their opinions. He refused to give in and pushed everything to after he returned to discuss it with his family.

The local red wine that he had originally looked down upon seemed to have a different and wonderful taste when he shook and tasted it.

This was attention he had never received before, but he knew exactly where it came from.

So he wouldn't be stupid enough to abandon the family that provided such great support at this time.

However, if he had the opportunity to truly rely on the Holy Infant Society and gain more extraordinary abilities, he would probably abandon his family without hesitation.

"Mr. President, perhaps we can win him over."

Nobuo Hirosue glanced at Jamie Walton who was the center of attention, and whispered to Hayabusa Nakai beside him.

"No need. Lord Saint Infant doesn't care about these things. Believers will have their blessings, and betrayers will have their sufferings."

His interactions with the Holy Infant and the Nine Guardians made him realize that the Holy Infant and the Holy Infant Society could be abandoned at any time. If he wanted to continue working for the Holy Infant, he had to demonstrate his own value.

His guess is that the more people can awaken their abilities, the more the Holy Infant will appreciate them.

Therefore, his next step was to organize the company to carry out various team-building activities on the brink of life and death, just like when he gained his improved abilities he broke through between life and death while surrounded by various firepower.

As for those who joined the club for the sake of exchanging interests, Nakai Hayabusa's approach was neither to exclude nor to welcome them. If they wanted to become core members, they had to show their loyalty to the Holy Infant.

The Special Affairs Bureau has already started testing the abilities of the two colleagues.

"In addition to 'super-dense defense', Takashima Yumi also has 'super strength', which is very similar to Sato Tomomi's. She is very strong in both strength and defense, and can be called a super soldier in film and television works." "And Nishikido Jun's ability is quite interesting. In addition to defense, his strength has doubled. Of course, this increase is very small for a superhuman, so I guess this is the effect of his other ability."

"I will temporarily name him 'Sword Saint'. The specific manifestation is that Nishikido Jun has a terrifying proficiency in swords and halberds. It can even be said that Nishikido Jun, who holds the hilt of the sword, is equivalent to a different person. His attack and survivability are greatly improved. Even bullets cannot escape his eyes."

"He is truly the Sword Master of the modern era!"

The two elixir-taking personnel from the Special Affairs Bureau have both awakened skills that give them good combat capabilities, which made Kuroki Shinizumi, who was in charge of screening and submitting the list, breathe a sigh of relief.

After the Minister of Defense learned about this, he called to praise her work performance and requested that the two of them, together with Toyokawa Kamikiyo, be formally formed into a special emergency assault force as soon as possible to train their combat awareness and combat coordination in order to curb the increasingly frequent extraordinary cholera incidents.

Toyokawa Kamisei once again faces hellish training.

What they don't know is that at this time, Shiraishi Ko, the source of cholera that caused all the extraordinary disasters in Tokyo, the mastermind behind the Holy Infant Society, the master of fighting between the left and right, and the loving father that the Supreme Saint never forgets, is preparing to travel to America.

Yes, his main purpose was to travel, his secondary purpose was to see if there were any great sages left in New York City, a city with many talented people and beautiful scenery, and his most minor purpose was to do a trivial little experiment.

Ever since he gained the ability to make demonic declarations, he had wanted to try it out: what would happen if he used this kind of declaration on dead objects?
During this period of experiments, he learned that the larger the size or energy of a being, the more evil thoughts it can bear, and naturally, the greater the threshold.

Like the sun, as soon as he had the thought of declaring the sun to be a devil, his own temples began to twitch constantly, warning himself not to commit suicide.

Once it is really announced, I am afraid that the price will be paid directly to him, and there will be no way to save him.

If you take a step back and find other planets, you will also be warned in your heart that if the evil thoughts do not cross the threshold, you will definitely fail.

After trying the above ideas, he found that based on his inner warnings, he could judge whether the "existence" he wanted to declare could turn into a demon, and whether it posed a "high threat" to himself, so that he would not unknowingly create a demon that could not be destroyed.

As for energy bodies, such as earthquakes and typhoons, there are very few evil thoughts before they cause damage. After they cause damage, the earthquake has long ended, and the typhoon is probably on the verge of dissipating.

Therefore, it is not very realistic to use it in this aspect, so Bai Shihang set the target on inanimate objects, and after careful consideration, he felt that it would be better to focus on the inanimate object as a whole.

So, on a sunny morning in July, a Western-looking man from a small European country passed the visa-free procedure and boarded a flight to New York.

When traveling, one naturally has to enjoy the trip with the original body, so Shiraishi Kou used his [Alienation] ability to transform his original body into the person on the passport, while the owner of the passport used parasitism to transform himself into Shiraishi Kou and continue to stay at home.

Sitting in regular economy class, he read an Aramco magazine with interest, like any pilgrim looking forward to visiting the world's beacon.

"Oh, this travel magazine is great. It introduces many attractions that even locals don't know about."

A female voice came from beside him. Bai Shihang looked up and found that it was a beautiful woman who looked like Jennifer Connelly in his previous life. She seemed to be in her early twenties. However, Westerners always have precocious looks, so the other person's actual age should be younger than he guessed.

"Hello, Jennifer Miller, exchange student."

"Hello, Irving Garcia, a down-and-out traveler from Western Europe."

"Haha, if there's any place you particularly want to go, maybe I can give you a suggestion. Well, I won't charge you any tips."

“The place I most want to go is actually very ordinary, it’s right here.”

Shiraishi Kou closed the magazine and showed the cover to Jennifer.

Jennifer looked over and smiled in realization. As a foreigner, it was normal for her to want to go there and take a look.

The cover of this magazine features the Statue of Liberty, America’s irreplaceable symbol of pride and witness of history.
