As an evil god, how did I become a savior?
The apocalypse had arrived, and the world had collapsed. Other than zombies, there were also strange monsters filling the ruins.
Gu Cheng, who was originally in despair, suddenly had an Evil God Acting Game on his phone.
What surprised Gu Cheng even more was that after satisfying the believer's wish, the sacrifice he received actually appeared in front of him.
From then on, the barrier between the two worlds was broken.
The flesh of ferocious beasts that increased strength, the heavenly and earthly treasures that increased strength, and the cursed items with different abilities appeared in front of Gu Cheng through the sacrifice.
The apocalypse was no longer scary.
Through the blessing, the believers were given fresh water, thick quilts, and special medicine. The residents of the game who were originally shrouded in darkness were rekindled with a desire for light.
A few years later, Gu Cheng's faith had spread throughout the entire game continent.
All the believers were grateful to God. Because of him, they could live a peaceful life today…
Only then did Gu Cheng realize it. He could not help but mutter,
" As an evil god, how did I become a savior?"
Cold heart, not yet warm

A Masterpiece of Psychological Horror: Why We’ve All Been Reading This Peak Completely Wrong. I just had a massive epiphany reading the latest chapters, and I need to talk about it because it completely recontextualizes the entire story. If you think this is just a story about an alien parasite, you’re missing the absolute tragedy of what’s actually happening to the main character. An alien trapped by his own faux-humanity. In the beginning, Aldrich was almost entirely robotic,no emotions or attachments, just a biological need to eat, adapt, and progress. But as he "consumed" and evolved and absorbed more, we started getting these "proto-humans." Erasmus stepped into the light, killed Aldrich, and took over. But here is the terrifying part that I think a lot of readers missed during the Butcher/Cerberus warehouse scene: The next persona in the cycle is Mars. When Cerberus told Butcher his dream vacation was "red sand, two moons, total desolation", he wasn't talking about a place. He was talking about the entity's ultimate, absolute phase. Mars is the personality of the world-devourer. It’s the cosmic horror that will eventually wake up, strip this planet clean, and leave it as a graveyard. So why hasn't it happened yet? Because Erasmus is stalling the entire life cycle. He is terrified. He is only a child. Erasmus told Stormfront he was a "very, very good being," and he desperately needs to believe that lie. Because he has tasted the drug of human emotion. He is hopelessly addicted to the unconditional fatherly love from Homelander, the absolute, cult-like devotion of Stormfront, the blind loyalty of Oliver, and the envy of Ryan. He has built this beautiful, pristine, golden-prince reality for himself. If he lets "Mars" wake up, that entire fragile playground is crushed into dust. Aldrich literally called him out: "You've done nothing to finish our life cycle... we would die of old age before your plan bears fruit." Aldrich wanted to move forward, as the biology dictates. But Erasmus forced him to commit suicide just to maintain the status quo. Erasmus is literally murdering his own sub-personas to protect his comfortable life. Erasmus claimed he didn't want to consume Homelander because it would cross a line, stripping away his boundaries and destroying the "fragile beauty" of the world. But that was pure lies. The truth is so much more pathetic. We still don't know exactly what happens to the previous personas when a new one takes over, but assuming it’s just darkness... Erasmus is just terrified of losing his own identity. I will wait for the next chapter to see if I need to edit this. Also, Aldrich and Erasmus are honestly some of the greatest villains and monsters I’ve read in so long. It's almost a shame the author decided to waste them on a fanfic, but overall? Absolute peak fiction.
