"So, how about we discuss cooperation?" God's face still held a gentle smile, seemingly unsurprised by Mike's rejection.
After all, God had also been young once…
"Cooperation? To fight against Satan together?" Mike retorted, already having a guess in his heart.
"There is indeed that reason, but it's not solely because of Satan, but rather to resist the invasion of Hell…" God explained, "This way, the balance of Heaven, the Human World, and Hell can be maintained."
Balance, Mike understood this.
Good people go to Heaven after death, and bad people go to Hell after death.
Therefore, the Human World is not only a buffer zone between Heaven and Hell but also their nexus. As long as people exist in the world, Hell and Heaven will inevitably exist.
In this situation, maintaining the relative balance of the three is the best choice.
"No problem, we can cooperate." The current Mike needed time to settle, so he naturally had no objections to God's proposal.
As for God, he was naturally very happy to have a powerful external ally in the Human World to help maintain peace.
The specific content of the cooperation was not complicated; it was roughly for Mike to help look after the Angels walking in the Human World, and at the same time, he could use the power of the Angels to maintain peace in the Human World.
"Alright, that's roughly the situation… If Satan comes to trouble you later, you can call out to me in your mind if necessary." After discussing the specific details of the cooperation, God smiled, nodded slightly, and prepared to fly back into the mural.
"Wait a moment, Mike called out to him; he still had many doubts unresolved in his mind.
"Is there anything else?" God stopped, appearing very patient.
"I heard Angel One say that you went on an interstellar trip?" Mike directly asked the doubt in his heart.
After all, his previous appearance was too timely; he didn't seem like someone on vacation but rather as if he had been constantly monitoring the situation in the Human World.
"My true body did go on a trip, but not to outer space, but to another dimension…" God understood what Mike wanted to know and did not choose to hide it, continuing, "Even Satan, what remains in this dimension is not his true body."
…
"The Power of Dimensions?" After sending God away, Mike studied his new ability.
He could indeed vaguely sense the coordinates of other dimensions, and he could cross into other worlds whenever he wanted.
However, with many things yet to be completed, he did not experiment with this ability.
Who knew what the next world would be like; even if he were to go, he would have to wait until after he had settled.
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest." Arriving outside the glass chapel, Mike called out to the cold-faced woman who was staring at Gabriel, waved his hand, and a spatial door appeared.
The two passed through the spatial door and appeared in the Genovia Palace.
"Mike, you're finally back." Princess Mia looked at Mike, who walked out of the void, with pleasant surprise, happily going forward to embrace him.
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen it, the girl still found Mike's spatial ability very magical.
"Have you had dinner yet? I'll have someone prepare it right away…" By this time, it was already evening, and after her initial surprise, Princess Mia began to care for Mike.
Looking at the girl bustling about, a smile rose on Mike's face, and he felt a heartwarming sense of returning home.
"Oh, by the way, a lady named Jessie from King Investment Group has arrived. Do you want to see her?" After arranging the dinner matters, Princess Mia clung back to Mike's side.
The girl hadn't seen Jessie before, but by intuition, she knew this might be another 'support group' sister.
After all, being entrusted with such an important task by Mike and being so beautiful, Mia didn't believe the man in front of her hadn't made a move.
It could also be said that in this regard, Mike's "reputation" was very well guaranteed.
"Is it Jessie? We can meet later; after all, we're all on the same side." Mike did not avoid the question.
"It really was your arrangement. I was wondering why that lady gave Genovia such good terms…" The generous Princess Mia showed no signs of jealousy; instead, she began to tell Mike about Jessie's situation.
The other party had only arrived one day before Mike, stating that she wanted to cooperate fully with the Genovia Royal Family, offering Genovia great benefits whether it was setting up factories or introducing talent.
Of course, the premise for Jessie doing all this was knowing that Mike valued this small country of Genovia with its unique location.
…
During the subsequent dinner, Mike not only met Jessie but also Queen Renaldi and the royal butler Joseph.
Clearly, this dinner was a grand affair.
After the meal, Mike also learned from Jessie that in this development mission for King Investment Group, Chris had overcome his fear and actively chosen to go to Washington State to connect with the Vampires and Werewolves there for business.
Then he sent Jessie to Genovia, a completely safe place, to carry out her work.
"Chris, that guy, has grown up too." Mike sighed.
Then, knowing that Jessie was sent by Mike to help Genovia develop, Queen Renaldi and the others' attitudes towards Jessie visibly became much more enthusiastic.
They were almost like family—
Genovia, with its mild climate and abundant mineral resources, was in the early stages of development and lacked everything.
Job positions, talent, etc., they accepted everyone who came.
The arrival of King Investment Group just filled this gap.
Mike even considered whether to bring Kenya's family from his small farm to Genovia to help Queen Renaldi develop agriculture.
Genovia, located in a subtropical region, could be considered vast and sparsely populated. While industrial development might require time to accumulate, developing agriculture based on local conditions would not have as many constraints.
At least it could ensure the prosperity of the people—
When the grand dinner ended, with Mike's participation, Jessie directly finalized many cooperation matters with Queen Renaldi.
As night fell, Mike called Jessie and Mia to have a heart-to-heart talk, accompanied by the sisters Amy and Eileen.
Afterward, the few of them discussed pipeline issues and water conservancy projects separately.
For three consecutive days, the energy within Mike gradually recovered completely.
Unlike God and Satan, who disappeared after using up their energy, Mike's internal energy, once used, could slowly recover over time.
So, the only problem he needed to consider now was how to increase his energy limit.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Mike found that collecting Power of Faith through "fame" was the most suitable development method for him at the moment.
Therefore, his previous low-key development path needed to change.
"Are you leaving again?" As someone close to him, Princess Mia was very sensitive to Mike's emotional changes.
"I'm sorry, I still have some things to arrange in New York. But please believe me, no matter what happens, I can appear by your side whenever you need me." Mike, preparing to leave, made a promise to Princess Mia.
Originally, according to his plan, he would stay in Genovia to accompany Princess Mia for a period and help this small country develop.
However, Mike, who urgently needed to accumulate Power of Faith now, had other arrangements and could only temporarily "neglect" Princess Mia.
"It's okay, you've already helped me a lot. No need to say sorry…" Princess Mia was mentally prepared, but when it truly came to parting, she still felt some reluctance.
After another period of lingering, Mike took the cold-faced woman through the spatial door and went to Washington State to see Chris.
Afterward, Mike's method of collecting Power of Faith would require his cooperation.
