Chapter 240
Independence Day
*** The Modern God ***
No matter how strong an individual was, their power was meaningless in front of a large group known as a nation-state.
This was an absolute truth that no one in human history had broken through. No matter how strong an individual was, he or she alone couldn’t accomplish anything by himself or herself. Historically, only groups had been able to move the world. This was why the world had no choice but to fall into a frenzy over the unprecedented situation in which Arthur, who was a single individual person, achieved [victory] over the nation-state Japan.
He was an individual who managed to go against and beat a nation-state; he was a singular existence that could beat the collective.
This outcome was something that only occurred in science fiction novels. Arthur’s achievement completely went against and destroyed the existing paradigm and crumbled its foundation to the very core.
Rumors… the Internet… news outlets… Through all means and mediums, word of Arthur’s existence and achievements spread like wildfire.
After all, Arthur had already been famed as the knight of justice, a knight of light, and the strongest swordsman. In addition, Arthur had appeared on TV by himself and suppressed the entire nation of Japan—an economic powerhouse in Asia—solely with his power. So it had been impossible to control and limit the flow of information from the very beginning.
“… Dang, it’s so noisy everywhere,” Merlin muttered.
