Chapter 112: Allah and God in Negotiation?

Online.

The news of the Statue of Liberty's collapse spread across the American internet at a visible speed.

Upon learning of the collapse, the internet erupted in insults.

"Fuck! The Statue of Liberty collapsed? What the hell? That bunch of shit-eating bastards in the White House only know how to boost military spending—can't they spend a single penny on maintaining cultural landmarks?"

"So embarrassing. All they care about is fighting, fighting, fighting, yet they neglect their own country's treasures—how ridiculous."

"I bet people overseas are laughing their asses off right now, thinking we're a bunch of brain-dead gun addicts who can't even maintain a statue."

"Of course nothing good happens when Kamikawa Mitsu takes office—I suspect he's embezzled the maintenance funds for cultural landmarks."

"Yeah, I agree with the guy above—Kamikawa Mitsu definitely stole the maintenance money. Look at his scalp: getting shinier and thicker by the day, while the Statue of Liberty collapses. Fuck Kamikawa Mitsu and his whole family!"

The Statue of Liberty was a symbolic structure for Americans, a source of national pride.

Now that it had collapsed, netizens flooded the internet with outrage, blaming the government's inaction and corruption, accusing them of spending money without doing anything meaningful.

The insults came fast—and faded just as quickly.

Soon, netizens began leaking claims that the Statue of Liberty's collapse wasn't due to age or neglect, but because of a glob of spit.

American netizens didn't believe it.

But then news outlets reported the spit-caused collapse—and aired the video footage captured by Chris…

Netizens froze; housewives dropped pots and pans in shock; devout Christians gasped and tore their Bibles in panic; students pretending to be sick or paralyzed leapt off their beds and out of their wheelchairs…

These scenes played out across America.

No wonder—how could anyone not be stunned? A statue nearly a hundred meters tall brought down by a single glob of spit? It was too shocking, too incredible.

The next moment.

After the shock, the American people erupted.

"This is God's wrath! He's punishing us!"

Devout Christians knelt toward the direction of the Statue of Liberty, standing upright, frantically making the sign of the cross over their chests.

Their faces showed both terror and reverence.

"Lord, forgive our sins—this is all my fault. Please forgive me…"

At the same moment.

Online.

"A glob of spit brought down the Statue of Liberty? Could God actually exist?"

"It's definitely God. Tell me what else could spit out a glob and collapse the Statue of Liberty—especially from the sky? That's definitely from Heaven."

"My god, you're so right—'A spit from God in Heaven. jpg'"

"Oh~ brother, you released that meme too fast—I'll gladly take it."

All kinds of theories flooded the internet: some said God, others said…

"No! It's not spit—it's God crying! My Kobe is dead, and God is weeping."

Others, already hostile toward Kamikawa Mitsu, seized the moment to exploit it.

"It's not necessarily God—it could be Allah's wrath. Kamikawa Mitsu, that bastard, started a war and enraged the Middle Eastern deity, Allah, who fired a spit-missile as a warning."

"Exactly! That's totally possible. Think about it—what does the Statue of Liberty symbolize? Freedom—and America itself. Its collapse means America's freedom is gone. What causes freedom to vanish? War! Once war begins, everyone fears for their lives—where's freedom then?"

"That makes sense. The collapse was definitely Allah's doing—because Kamikawa Mitsu provoked World War III and killed Allah's most devout follower. Allah, enraged, destroyed the Statue of Liberty—the symbol of freedom and America—to declare: if America insists on this path, war will come, and freedom will be lost forever."

This wave of speculation ignited countless netizens.

Why? Because the timing was too perfect.

The analysis was logical, well-reasoned: one moment, the world nearly slipped into World War III; the next, the symbol of freedom collapsed—both points pointed squarely to war.

Some younger netizens, however, went wild with imagination.

"You're wrong. I think it's Allah's wrath—but remember, the incident that nearly triggered World War III is already over. Now the Statue of Liberty collapses. The timing is too close, but the sequence makes no sense. If it were Allah's wrath, he should've acted while the crisis was still unfolding—not after it was resolved."

Netizens suddenly understood.

Right—that makes sense.

"So I told you—it's God's miracle!" Christian netizens jumped in immediately to promote God.

But they were instantly rebutted.

"No, I don't think it's God's miracle," the young netizen replied instantly: "God is merciful—why would He destroy the Statue of Liberty?"

"Then what do you think it is?"

Many netizens were curious about this netizen's claim—his analysis sounded so thorough, he must have figured out the truth.

The next moment.

The young netizen, basking in the attention of countless netizens, slowly typed out his analysis.

"I think it's neither simply Allah's wrath nor God's miracle—it's the result of negotiations between Allah and God.

Ahem, let me break it down for you—Einstein's lecture. jpg

Allah's most devout follower died—he must be furious, right? America's dominant religion is Christianity, so when Allah is angry at America, God has to intervene—otherwise, how can He claim His divine love shines upon every believer?

So I think: after learning of his most devout follower's death, Allah was ready to strike America, but God stopped him and began negotiations.

Negotiations take time—both are top-tier deities; neither can convince the other.

I boldly guess: while they were still negotiating, we resolved the incident. So Allah and God each took a step back: anger had to be expressed, but no one had to die—it preserved both sides' dignity. But wrath still needed to be demonstrated.

So Allah chose the Statue of Liberty—the symbol of freedom and America—as a target, a deliberate warning: if you push me too far, war will break out."

This analysis stunned countless netizens.

"Friend, your analysis left me speechless."

"My God, this is so logical—it makes perfect sense."

Many netizens believed this analysis was plausible—and possibly the truth.

Of course, not all netizens would believe these things.

"Stop talking nonsense. Maybe the saliva wasn't saliva at all, just some liquid that looks like saliva. Could be a biochemical weapon, you never know."

"Cut the crap. Allah, God—you've read too many comics. I think this is a terrorist attack, a bizarre one disguised as something else."

For a moment, the netizens each held their own views and aired every kind of opinion.

Just then.

A knock came at the door. Achuan's aide rushed in to tell him that the Statue of Liberty had collapsed.

The next moment.

Achuan flew into a rage.
