"When I was listening to you, I was wondering why you didn't just tell them the location from the beginning. Wouldn't that have been more convincing evidence? Now it seems you didn't actually know where the Demon Apostles' headquarters was back then. You had to make these people believe you first before you could get the location of the Demon Apostles' headquarters!"

Jiang Ran took out the megaphone so that everyone could hear it, in order to shake everyone's faith in Alex. As long as these people no longer believed in Alex, even if they couldn't directly make him lose his abilities, they would definitely make his energy consumption double!

Jiang Ran actually had a deeper speculation about the specific principles behind Alex's abilities. First of all, his ability is not something that happens just because others think of it; whether an event occurs is up to him to decide.

For example, just now, Yu Cheng hypnotized herself, making her believe that Alex was a pig, but nothing happened, which further shows that this is an active ability rather than a passive one.

Secondly, others must completely believe that Alex can do this before he can activate the corresponding ability. If he only thinks about it in his mind, he cannot use it. This is somewhat similar to Aisha.

Once we understand the principle, we can find the solution. As long as we shake the faith of those who believe in Alex, the effectiveness of his abilities will be greatly reduced!

The key to Alex's abilities lies precisely in those two tale tellers from the Kingdom of the British Empire. One of them had already used up all his talent attempts, and the other, even after receiving talent enhancement, was only at the [Elite] level. Yet, Alex still kept both of them on the battlefield!

The reason he brought these two along wasn't because they were particularly clever, but precisely because they were incredibly stupid! In their eyes, their captain was omnipotent, and Alex could exploit their belief in him to achieve extraordinary abilities at a great cost. Once others witnessed these abilities, they would also believe they were Alex's true power, thus providing him with that same power of belief!

When Alex used the power of lightning for the first time, he seemed to be struggling quite a bit, but when he used the second lightning bolt, it was as if he was striking casually, and the power was even greater than the first time. This proved that after the first lightning strike, more people present believed that he had the ability to manipulate lightning and unknowingly became his power!

"In a sense, you really are quite versatile."

Jiang Ran used [Armed] to generate an electromagnetic cannon for himself, aiming the cannon at the [Deceptive Kings] on the side of the three committee chairmen!

boom!

Alex swung his right arm, creating an invisible wall that protected the [Demon Kings] below, but he himself coughed up blood and became unsteady on his feet!

Although the attack was blocked, it chilled the hearts of the three committee chairmen even more. It was clear that their confidence in Enix had wavered, and the consumption of his summoned shield had already affected him. After this, their confidence would probably waver even more!

Alex lay back and fell asleep in the middle of the battlefield, looking up at the sky.

"Jiang Ran, do you think I didn't expect you to guess what my talent really is?"

"How could I not have a backup plan?"

He closed his eyes, but his smile grew even more maniacal!

"This is a miracle from [faith]!"

In a daze, the people who were still fighting seemed to feel a warm power being showered on them, followed by two familiar auras. The people from the three committee chairmen's side subconsciously turned around and were overjoyed!

Jiang Tang and Hong Ping, who had been burned to ashes by Dejov's silver flames at the beginning of the battle, actually stood up again!

Alex's "faith" is not that he can do what others believe he can do, but that he can make what others believe will happen!

The limitation on his abilities does not lie with him personally!

Before the war began, he had several near-gods tell his men not to worry, as they possessed a special method to revive once. Because of this, the three committee chairmen's side believed that their commander could be resurrected; after all, you can't expect NPCs to have overly complex thinking abilities.

When God created the world, He always seemed to slack off in some ways...

Talent and [Miracle] consume different things. No matter how recklessly Alex used his talent before, it doesn't affect his ability to use [Miracle] now!

"What a pity! Even though I almost exhausted my mental energy, and even though dozens of people believed that their commander could really be resurrected, I could still only resurrect two [Near God]s!"

The proportion of near-god-level beings is too high. Being able to revive two at once already proves Alex's incredible abilities. If he wanted to revive three, at least several hundred or a thousand people would need to believe it.

In this way, the three chairpersons' side has gained two more top-tier combatants! And both of them are at full health and mana. Jiang Ran can only deal with one of them at most before his mental energy is almost exhausted. Yu Cheng's mental energy is already low, so he can't deal with a [near god] on his own.

"It seems the scales of victory are tipping in my favor, Jiang Ran."

Alex lay at the very back of the three committee chairmen's battle line, which was a safe zone for the time being. However, he didn't dare to stay there forever. After laughing enough, he got up and moved to a safer spot to watch the entire battle.

Jiang Ran looked at the hostility value above Alex's head, which was only 76%. This meant that although Alex regarded him as an enemy, he did not intend to kill him. And the battle situation was indeed like that. Although Jiang Ran could not take down two [near-gods] by himself, he was more than capable of escaping.

Alex seemed to be saying to him, "I'll take the chance to clear the game, so you can just run away in a sorry state!"

"Always saying it's a pity, a pity, then let me make you truly regret it this time—" Jiang Ran produced two dice in his hand!

[Strange Dice: Limited to two uses per world. Randomly summons a strange creature that once approved of you. It will not betray you. The higher the number rolled, the greater the probability of summoning a stronger strange creature. Note: The longer you stay in this world, the higher the probability of rolling a higher number.]

"While I'm not entirely confident about rolling two 6s—after all, the concept of 'the longer you stay' is rather vague, and I don't even know how long is considered 'long'—I really like this saying—"

"Fate is on my side!"

"Alex, how do you know I don't have any other near-god-level allies?"
