The influencers’ channels were getting shut off.

“What’s going on? Why are their accounts deactivated?”

“It’s Moon! It has to be their doing! They can’t stand it when we’re happy!”

“That’s so mean! How could they shut down those people’s channels? They have no right to do that! What did those people do to deserve this?”

“This is an abuse of power! Does Moon think they can do this because their network is the only one working? If that’s the case, I’ll stop using the internet altogether!”

…

After discussing with Himmel Soan, Henry also hired some paid posters, trying to shift the public opinion in their favor.

“Our gravity is back. There’s no need to kneel anymore!”

“Why would anybody believe something like that? Eight packs coming out of nowhere? That sounds dodgier than ponzi scams! Why didn’t anything like that happen before? Somebody is trying to brainwash us! That’s so obvious! I’m not buying it. Only an idiot would!”

“Don’t make me laugh! Free lunches don’t exist! Guys, remember this. The bigger the temptation, the higher the risk! If it sounds like a miracle, then it’s too good to be true! Mark my words! I won’t delete this comment. If everything turns out to be fine later, come back here, and I’ll post a video of myself kneeling and apologizing!”

“Wake up, people! It’s impossible!”

…

“I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s happening! So many of us have knelt, and we’re back to normal! We’ve shown you the video. Why won’t you believe us?”

“Guys, words can be lies, but what about videos? Look around you. People are still struggling with gravity, but we’re walking normally now. We can jump and run without rising into the air! You must all know some people around you that have knelt. See for yourselves!”

“Facts speak louder than words! I don’t want to say another word!”

These weren’t robots from Atlantis. They were real people from all over the world. They had all knelt and believed that they knew the truth. Nothing could change their minds. Therefore, they protested as soon as they saw other people questioning the possibility.

All the presidents were utterly confused. They had no idea what Moon wanted and why the country tried to stop everybody.

Mind-control?

That didn’t seem to be the case!

What on earth was it about?

In Atlantis.

The king gave the order, asking his people to bring down the artificial moon.

At no cost.

The plasma impulse wave was the most powerful weapon they had. In their eyes, shooting down the moon with it was like employing a steam engine to crack a nut. That weapon was powerful enough to bring down the super meteorite.

“My lord, are you sure about this? We don’t have much energy to support that weapon. We’ve searched the entire area, but there’s no other way to replenish it! If we launch it, this will be the last time we can use it!”

The king said, “Yes! Launch it! When we control the human race and obtain more wishing power, Earth will be ours. We’ll be able to leave the ocean and have all the resources on the land! We’re trading the device with the entire planet. It’s worth it! Launch!”

“Yes, sir!”

The scientists started typing on their virtual keyboards. The screens showed the weapon moving out of its container.

Just then, the screens flickered, and a person showed up on them.

He had eyes sharper than razors, and his expression was as cold as winter. His look could chill one to the bone.

It was none other than Himmel Soan himself.

He stared at the scientists through the screens, as well as at the king in the golden robe behind them.

“Who are you?” The scientists were shocked, and the king paled as well. “Are you Himmel Soan?!”

Himmel Soan’s name was well-known globally. Since the Atlanteans had sneaked into the network, they knew everything that had been going on.

They also knew Himmel Soan’s name and what he looked like.

Himmel Soan smiled. “That’s very interesting. I didn’t know we had an entire country hidden at the bottom of the ocean. You have advanced science and technology, too. Stop what you’re doing right now before things get ugly.”

One of the scientists stared at Himmel Soan and said anxiously, “How did you infiltrate our network? We have firewalls!”

“Firewalls? They’re useless to me. If I want to infiltrate your system, it doesn’t matter where you’re hiding!”

Himmel Soan’s eyes glowed as if liquid gold was flowing in them.

Crack…

Boom…

The machines around the scientists exploded all at once. The scientists backed away in fright. Even the king was taken aback.

What kind of power was that?

His eyes flashed, and the machine exploded.

“You…”

“That was just a warning. Stop messing with Earth, or you’re going to be the next to explode!”

“Mr. Soan!” The Atlantean king suddenly said, “Mr. Soan, I wonder if we can have a word?”

“What’s there to talk about? Give back the wishing power of my people, and maybe I’ll talk to you!”

The wishing power didn’t matter all that much.

Himmel Soan only wanted it because he was worried that the Atlanteans would do something evil with it and change the appearance of those Earthlings.

Although their wishing power had been extracted, so far, no one had died or been injured in any way. That was why Himmel Soan hadn’t attacked Atlantis yet.

Otherwise, the machines wouldn’t be the only things exploding.

Himmel Soan had been building the moon and didn’t have the energy to find Atlantis. Now that the moon was complete, finding these people was a piece of cake.

He could detect the meteorite when it was fifteen days away from Earth. Of course, he could find things that were only tens of thousands of meters deep in the ocean.

Although the Atlanteans had used some device to hide their exact location, Himmel Soan still could penetrate their network with his mental force and enter their control room.
