Chapter 160 World Domination Starts With Controlling The Government
'It seems that I have already entered the eyes of those Monster Saints which isn't a surprise. Since there is an overlord-level monster in the Monster Race, I can only stay low-key for now and not enter the dimensional gap yet.'
'Although I am confident that I am invincible in the same power level and defeating all seven of those Monster Saints at the same time shouldn't be impossible, there is no point for me to risk my life for nothing.'
'The risk outweighs the gain. Furthermore, even if there is a secret treasure in the Monster World or the Technology World that can allow me to become a Transcendent Overlord, it makes no sense to risk my life just for that.'
'If I was a normal transmigrator with a normal golden finger, I might have risked it to invade the Technology World and Monster World. However, the simulator system is too broken. I can just stay in my home and become stronger.'
'But if the Transcendent World is invaded by the Monster World and the Technology World and they start enslaving the human race, then I can only retreat to the Zombie World.'
'In the end, the lives of the humans here have nothing to do with me and I have no responsibility to save them. Even if I became a registered transcendent here, I had already taken action against this saint-level monster invasion which is already a huge favor for them.'
'As long as I accumulate enough power, it won't be impossible to become powerful enough to rule this world when I reach that level. My life is more important and risking it for this world doesn't make any sense.'
After pondering over this problem, Alister already felt the gazes from those Transcendent Saints and Monster Saints since the dimensional gate hadn't closed yet.
They seemed to be enticing Alister to pass through the dimensional gate and enter the dimensional gap to participate in the battlefield. After all, the seven Monster Saints haven't closed the dimensional gate yet.
However, Alister was too cautious and didn't fall for it. Even if he could kill all of the seven Monster Saints, there were still some risks such as offending the higher civilization which caused the early demise of planet Earth.
Because of that, Alister only took one last look at the dimensional gate and left.
He had already a lot of gains after going out of his house. Not only did he have two more subordinates in this world, but he also learned some secrets regarding this world.
Moreover, he even eliminated a potential threat which was the Eighth Monster Saint.
Alister knew that he didn't have to take too many risks in the main world so he decided to take things one step at a time.
So after he met up with Bruce and Jake, Alister secretly brought them with him and manipulated the mind of the American President.
After all, it was worth noting that Alister barely had enough money to buy for his daily expenses.
Although he could sell those monster corpses, Alister decided to not involve himself too much with the Transcendent Association.
He didn't expect that the otherworld's water was too deep and because of that, there were a few changes in his plan.
Instead of going to the Transcendent Association to raise his Transcendent ID card to the rank and authority of a saint, Alister decided that it was better for him to just manipulate the government.
Alister could care less about fame and such since as long as he was powerful enough, that was easy to obtain. So he didn't have any interest in becoming popular and spreading his reputation as the Fourth Transcendent Saint.
It was too much of a hassle for him when the best way was to just control the minds of the higher-ups in both the government and the Transcendent Association.
It didn't take that long for Alister to control the mind of the President of America.
There were few Transcendent Emperors who had stayed in this world and the American President was one of them.
Unlike the situation in his past life's planet Earth, the Transcendent World didn't have any weak politicians. All of them were transcendents since if that wasn't the case, it would be impossible for them to gain their position.
Most transcendents would discriminate against non-transcendents so it would be a disgrace if those government officials weren't transcendents. It was also the reason why the government could retain some control over the Transcendent Association since they were also transcendents.
After making the American President his subordinate, Alister didn't spare the other government officials. n--OvElbIn
Since the Technology World and Monster World had already planted spies in both the government and the Transcendent Association, Alister planned to do the same.
Bruce and Jake who accompanied him were sent to his mirror dimension for the time being since Alister didn't want his intentions and plan to be discovered by the three Transcendent Saints and the seven Monster Saints.
Without those two burdens, Alister showed the prowess of his gold-grade You Can't See Me talent.
Due to his cautiousness, Alister didn't even use his ability to teleport since there were still some risks in distorting the space and leaving some clues due to the effects of his teleportation.
He only used pure speed to travel from city to city. Although it took some time since he had to control his speed to not cause a commotion, Alister finally controlled the minds of all the relatively powerful government officials in America.
Of course, all of the government officials were controlled except for those spies from the otherworld. Alister wasn't confident whether there were any restrictions left by the otherworld on those spies and since he didn't want to risk it, he left them alone.
But he didn't care much about them since his purpose was already fulfilled. With the money and power of the government, he would have more funds and methods under his arsenal.
Returning to his home, Alister sighed in relief that everything went well.
'As long as I reach Transcendent Overlord, it will be easy to rule this world. But the Technology World is still a problem. So I still have to complete the full-dive simulation and become stronger in the next simulated world.'
