With one hand supporting John Connor, Kate turned her gaze to the Terminator T850 beside her and said loudly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him!"
“I know your orders are to protect John Connor. Believe me, if you help me save my father, my father and I will protect him and not let anyone hurt him.”
"Now, obey my command: capture that female terminator!"
After nearly half a minute of silence, Terminator T850 moved. After analysis, it was not difficult to determine that a living Secretary of Defense could indeed protect John Connor, and Kate's authority was indeed the highest.
The Terminator TX is no less powerful than the Terminator T850, and even faster. However, if it is only necessary to temporarily restrain the Terminator TX, the Terminator T850's capabilities are not insufficient.
Just half a minute later, with several rooms reduced to ruins, the Terminator T850 finally managed to trap the Terminator TX.
Seeing this, Kate was overjoyed and looked toward the crack that shone with divine light.
"Great God, what do you need me to do now?"
After a moment of silence, a calm voice emerged from the crack.
"You gave me a very entertaining performance; you successfully pleased me."
As the words fell, a powerful attraction suddenly erupted from the sacred crack, instantly drawing Terminator T850 and Terminator TX into it.
Immediately afterwards, under Kate's expectant gaze, a golden light suddenly fell upon the Minister of Defense.
In an instant, the hole in the Minister of Defense's chest began to heal, the wound closed, the blood receded, and in the blink of an eye, he looked no different from before he was shot.
A few seconds later, the Minister of Defense slowly opened his eyes and looked around at the dilapidated surroundings.
"Is this hell? There's no lava, and the scenery is much better than I imagined."
“Father!” Kate exclaimed excitedly, throwing herself into the arms of the Secretary of Defense.
"This is not hell, you are still alive."
“It was I who prayed to the gods to bring you back to life.”
"Gods?" The Defense Minister frowned.
Most people in the US believe in gods, but belief is one thing, and people are content to sit on the altar and enjoy their worship. If gods were to actually descend into reality, probably not many would be happy, especially those in high positions. The higher the position, the less they expect it.
After all, not many people in power really want an extra 'God' above them!
"Yes, God."
As she spoke, Kate looked at the sacred crack, her face filled with gratitude.
The Minister of Defense also glanced over subconsciously. When he saw the strange void rift and the divine power constantly emanating from it, his gaze narrowed and his mind began to race.
A god who wields light? God? Apollo? Baldr?
Names that matched the attributes flashed through my mind.
Then came more reflection.
Why are there only cracks? Why haven't the gods truly descended? Is it because they disdain it? Or is there no way for them to descend?
Thinking of this last point, his expression softened slightly.
However, at that moment, her daughter's surprised voice rang out.
"My Lord, are you leaving?"
Then, the cracks in the void began to slowly shrink, and the incomparably sacred divine power within them also began to shrink.
The defense minister's expression relaxed more and more. Gods, especially those high in the heavens, were more in line with the expectations of someone in power like him.
However, after looking around, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he asked anxiously, "Kate, has the Skynet issue been resolved?"
He hadn't forgotten that before he died, the blond guy had said that if Skynet got out of control, it would soon trigger a nuclear explosion that would destroy the world.
Compared to this question, the gods are no longer important.
Kate's expression changed drastically: "It's over!"
"Father, Skynet was developed by you. Didn't you leave behind any backend control programs?"
The Minister of Defense's eyes dimmed instantly, and he slowly shook his head.
Kate's eyes also revealed fear and despair.
Soon, the Secretary of Defense took a deep breath and pulled his daughter up: "Kate, come with me. This world is beyond saving. At least we have to live."
However, in just a second, Kate shook off the Secretary of Defense's hand.
"No, it's not entirely hopeless."
Kate turned back towards the increasingly narrow crack, lunged forward, and knelt down.
"My God, I beg you, save this world."
However, this time, the cracks did not change at all; they just kept shrinking, as if everything before had been an illusion.
Clearly, Kate at this point had nothing left to offer that great deity.
Kate's face was instantly filled with despair.
Without even making a request, it's clear that the deity has absolutely no interest in this matter.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Defense, who remained in place, remained silent, either observing or contemplating.
Finally, when the crack had shrunk to almost disappear completely, he moved.
He strode forward and knelt down on both knees just like Kate. However, unlike Kate's slow kneeling, he knelt down with a thud, his knees hitting the ground with a distinct sound.
Such a blow would have caused serious bone damage, but his expression remained completely unchanged.
The next moment, the Minister of Defense took a deep breath.
"Great God, I do not know your noble status. We mortals are perhaps as insignificant as dust to you."
"But if you can save this world, I beg you to accept my soul, and I will give my whole body and soul to you. I do not seek to become a saint like Jesus, but only to be an ordinary believer, to spread your glory, and to make all people believe in you."
He didn't know if he could succeed, but the only thing he could think of that could truly interest this deity was faith.
Even God needs faith, so this must be quite tempting for Him.
He used his power as Minister of Defense, along with his wholehearted surrender, to spread the faith to the other side. If faith really works, this should be the only way to move the other side.
As for why he would do this, if this god is truly so great that he can even save the world from the end of the world, then becoming his dog would be the greatest honor of his life.
He himself, and even his daughter, will become completely distinguished because of this kneeling.
This will be the biggest gamble of his life!
"Interesting~"
Chapter Thirty-Eight: God!
There were no words of agreement or anything like that, only the word "interesting" insinuated.
The next moment, the crack, which was far more than one that had almost completely disappeared, suddenly expanded to its maximum size and tore towards the distant sky.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying celestial rift, almost stretching across the entire sky, was formed.
"what is that?"
“Is the world coming to an end?”
Everyone who could see the crack in the sky was instantly thrown into chaos.
Even the Secretary of Defense and Kate were wide-eyed, staring in awe at the sight in the sky.
The next moment, images began to emerge from the cracks.
A colossal god of light, beyond description, sat cross-legged in the void. His form was infinitely magnificent, even more so than the world itself.
Simply sit there, without saying a word, without releasing any divine power or miracles.
He himself is the greatest miracle!
He seemed to be the end of all things, an existence that transcended the heavens and all things.
Simply gazing upon this majestic presence evokes a profound sense of awe that originates from the very soul.
puff~
Some people began to kneel down, unable to bear the awe that arose from directly facing greatness.
This act of kneeling instantly triggered a chain reaction, with large numbers of people kneeling down in unison.
The Minister of Defense, who was already kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but tremble all over. It was a mixture of awe, shock, and exhilaration, an exhilaration that made his whole body tremble.
The bet was won!
And you made the right bet!
How magnificent, how astonishing!
The moment the Minister of Defense saw this magnificent sight, he understood one thing: for such beings, nuclear explosions and the end of the world were nothing but laughable absurdities.
He had no doubt that if this mighty god wanted to destroy the world, he could do so with just a slap or even a sneeze.
How could such an existence possibly prevent the apocalypse caused by a mere nuclear explosion?
Most importantly, he himself had aroused the interest of this great being, thus gaining the qualification to serve as a lackey.
What's wrong with being a dog? He's the dog of the true God!
From this day forward, who would dare to underestimate him under the sway of the gods?
What kind of councilors are they, what kind of rulers of a country? They're all trash. Go sit at the kids' table!
At this moment, faced with such a colossal existence, even the Skynet system, which was in operation, was in a state of near-crash.
"Can't understand!"
"Unable to resolve!"
"Unrivaled!"
"The energy level of a divine being cannot be assessed!"
Success rate: 0.000%
"Assassination success rate: 0.000%"
The computer, symbolizing the Skynet itself, was flashing an astonishing red light, clearly indicating that it had reached its computational limit.
