Kabanata 539: Chapter 3: Conquer the Entire World with the Power of One

Upon hearing this request, the first word that flashed through Richard's mind was "impossible."

To have eighty percent of the intelligent life in the whole world hear about one thing was already very difficult, but now he was also expected to shock these people with it.

How could this be possible?

But soon, Richard realized there was a huge loophole.

"No, wouldn't that mean I'd be spreading a lie? Anyway, as long as it shocks those people, that should do the trick," he mused.

Ulysses gave a slight smile and replied, "My friend, you indeed found the loophole in this ritual. But have you ever considered that if you could spread a falsehood far enough to twist a world's collective consciousness, then the act of spreading itself becomes an incredible feat."

Richard was momentarily taken aback, then laughed at himself in self-deprecation.

Indeed, if he could change a world's collective consciousness just by spreading word, then this act in itself would already meet the criteria.
