Chapter 153 Celebration
Two days later in the evening, the suspended sun collapsed into the horizon like melted grease, and another sun rose in the dead abyss.
The abyss is difficult to observe, filled with disordered energy. Even the brief dawn is just the brilliant starlight cast by a morning star, which is fleeting.
However, the Church of Light has known for hundreds of years that there is a sun submerged at the bottom of the abyss.
That was the brilliance forged by our ancestors, an artificial sun. Its light couldn't dispel the darkness of the abyss, but it could penetrate countless barriers and illuminate the souls of its "believers."
From today on, everything will change!
【Coordinate confirmation】
【Delivery】
Gulp, gurgle.
A series of water sounds were heard on the screen, and the monitoring center faithfully fed back all the scenes it could "see".
An exquisite contract slowly sank under the pull of the spiral energy, falling towards the lightless sun.
Even the abnormalities of its "same species" were not overly embellished by the monitoring center. In its "eyes", the brilliance was just a dim ball.
The reason why the body of light is spherical is not only to imitate the concept of planets and the origin of life, but also because the sphere is the simplest "God's Egg" that humans can construct.
Even in the most glorious technological age, humans could not successfully create a god form outside of a sphere in the abyss.
bite.
The invisible soap bubble burst gently, and the contract radiated brilliant ripples.
Deep in the abyss, far from Chen Xiao'er, it finally slowly changed form. First, it liquefied into flowing droplets, then scattered and sank one by one. Golden particles swirled around the sphere, like a veil draped over a young girl's shoulders.
The sphere - "Glory" began to rotate, exerting its devouring instinct as an abnormal being.
The water droplets condensed centripetally as it rotated, changing shape once again, rising into a crown-shaped gas that floated in the air.
The golden crown was regenerated, like a graceful and transparent rainbow bridge under the sunlight.
"Success!" Countless cheers rang out in different places, and people's eyes were filled with the glory of the successful crowning moment.
Their piety does not belong to the gods, but they can be regarded as believers who are sustained by faith. Seeing the successful rise of the "gods" in the same camp, how can the "believers" not rejoice wholeheartedly!
Hundreds of years ago, humans "possessed" their own god, and spent hundreds of years confirming that he completely belonged to humans, and finally crowned him at an important node in the change of laws.
Humanity—has not been abandoned by the new era!
【My Lord】
Countless messages are directed towards the light through monitoring centers, computers and even more special objects.
【Have you mastered the power of rules?】
Believers cannot question the gods, but they can question their children, ask their lovers, and inquire of their mothers.
【yes】
God gave an affirmative answer, and added in his answer [very incomplete].
Very? Researchers are very concerned about the degree of "very" and are eager to ask about its specific situation.
Messages turned into streams of light, and after a few seconds, the definite answer was obtained.
Experts from different groups began to compile these answers, trying to piece together Guanghui's current powers and then assign them a "level" that would be convenient for recording and comparison.
Defining the scope of existing powers required a great deal of time and rigorous testing, but they soon reached an exciting conclusion: at the very least, the powers could ensure that several important strongholds were completely covered by the glorious rules!
First of all, the core area in the vertical distance of the Glory, such as the apostle's soul pool, is directly connected to the Glory body, so it naturally has the highest priority in formulating rules.
For example, if Guanghui decides that [abnormal abilities are not allowed] here, then all abnormalities will be invalid.
Of course, the existing rules and powers require "fairness", so biased rules such as "only apostles can use abnormal abilities" require energy consumption.
Energy is a universal currency. Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy, Guanghui can spread the radiation range of power to infinity...
While everyone was excitedly asking questions and taking tests, Milo sat quietly in his office looking at his laptop.
Her screen was connected to a monitor at the edge of the monitoring center, which was showing the images inside the auditorium.
This mission to reclaim power was a resounding success, arguably the most fruitful in decades. The church naturally generously distributed various rewards and even prepared a grand celebration for the students.
Now the dinner is coming to an end, desserts and drinks are placed in the corner, and a large stage is left in the center of the auditorium for the dancing students.
The melodious tune played out from the speakers, and Milo stared at the girl in the middle of the screen who was making a phone call.
Chen Xiao'er stood near the terrace holding her senior's hand. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her cute lips were slightly pouting. It was unknown who she was discussing some difficult issue with.
The recording effect of the monitoring center automatically became ineffective, but the mechanical monitor in the auditorium recorded the girl's voice and played it to her ears.
Milo slowly closed her eyes. The girl's angry expression was no longer in her eyes, but the moment when she held up the crown and gently put it down two days ago.
That day, Chen Xiao'er rejected the power.
She didn't realize she'd rejected the shortcut to becoming a god. I should have felt sorry for her, but... ["Very happy."]
The devil sighed softly, reciting the echo from the depths of his heart.
Why was I happy at that moment? There were many reasons, but Milo was not sure.
But what is certain is that when Chen Xiao'e picked up the scattered contract, stood beside the apostle and handed the power to the leader of the Knights who had arrived—
[“Are all the students okay?”] The first sentence she asked made her so happy.
Milo firmly believed that he would remember that scene and the golden meteor shower falling from the sky.
The glass cabinet in the sky shattered as the girl asked, spilling out streams of light, each of which was a precious soul.
The church actually failed to extract much energy from the abnormal area that day, because most of the energy was used to reshape the bodies of the "deceased" students and resurrect them completely under Chen Xiao'er's will.
At the time and space when power was born, death was still a Schrödinger state.
It is like an unfinished ribbon, and it is not until the embroidering girl firmly says "gold thread is needed here" that the exquisite embroidery emerges and the whole work is successfully connected.
She denied their deaths, and the energy manipulated by the Power faithfully fulfilled its duty, so we could witness the return of the children.
【“How beautiful.”】The devil sighed sincerely, as if he were a close soul friend.
Of course, she knew their preferences remained the same.
Beep.
A special tone sounded from the communicator.
The fingers on the keyboard trembled slightly, and Milo looked at the words that appeared, and along with the reflection on the screen, he showed a rare expression close to disgust.
[It is necessary to conduct a controllability test on Chen Xiao'er.]
A line of small gold and red text was added at the end of this suggestion.
[Permitted, to be carried out at a later date.]
…
Students danced nimbly and gracefully on the dance floor. From time to time, someone would walk through the corridors, grabbing a delicious snack and enjoying the silky, snow-smooth fresh cream, letting the icing melt on their tongues.
However, Chen Xiao'er, one of the protagonists, held the hand of her senior sister and huddled at the edge of the terrace, enjoying the breeze while covering half of her body with a curtain.
She poked the phone screen with her ten fingers flying, her brows furrowed, obviously angry.
Xiao Ai: Sister Lan! Why did you let Xinnaya take that child away?!
【Lan: That’s her child.】
"Ha~" Chen Xiao'er took a deep breath and hit faster.
【Xiao Ai: (cat scratching)】
[Xiao Ai: How is that possible? That child is at least 10 years old. She's only in her twenties, right?!]
No, if you think about it carefully, it seems possible. Although Xinaya doesn't seem like the type of person who would have a child as a teenager, she can do it given her values.
[Lan: She adopted him, and she has complete adoption documents.]
…
Chen Xiao'er hissed and scratched her hair hard.
It's irrational, absolutely irrational. How could Xinnaya adopt a child? However, the laws of Red Star and Blue Star are different. It seems that unmarried adoption is not prohibited.
Looking back, many of my classmates in junior high and high school had guardians who were very young, only about ten years younger than them. Maybe they really only considered economic conditions.
But even so, Xinaya is totally unsuitable to adopt a child. She is a pervert in every sense!
Even though she has learned her lesson now, Chen Xiao'er still remembers the disgusting things that guy did in the hotel.
What's more, children are more vulnerable than adults. Xinnaya is the epitome of "emotional instability". Which normal person would expect her to raise a child?
[Xiao Ai: Is there any way, like finding evidence that she's not suitable for adoption?]
[Lan: Even if I snatch her back, it's useless. She has nowhere to go.]
【Xiao Ai: What about sending the child to boarding school?】
【Lan: Better not, she's not suitable.】
[Lan: If you really want her best, it would be best to leave her with Xinaya.]
Inappropriate? Anywhere would be more suitable than with Sinaya.
She pinched the screen indignantly, and the next second she received a reply from Sister Lan.
【Lan: I'm going to work first. See you later.】
Working so late at night? You might as well say you're going to bed.
Chen Xiao'er took a deep breath and finally didn't lose her temper. Never mind, why blame Sister Lan? This matter had nothing to do with her.
She took Ling's hand, moved a few steps towards the window, pulled out a name from the blacklist, and gently pressed the call button.
Beep,
The other party picked up the call in less than half a second.
"Hey, Chen Xiao'er." Xinnaya's tone was full of smiles, giving people the illusion of being complacent.
Chen Xiao'er didn't wait for her to say anything more and asked directly, "What's going on with that child?"
"child?"
"Little girl, Sister Lan said she is your child."
Sinaya sat among the piles of debris, leisurely wiping the blood from the corners of her lips. "Oh, yes."
Her gaze passed over Yu, the formerly human girl who had been completely transformed into an anomaly, squatting not far away and devouring the anomaly she had hunted.
The devil was still thinking about what to do with her.
Xinaya didn't think about things like "loyalty". She didn't even bother to care about the hatred hidden in the girl's eyes: Since you are no longer a human being, you are useless to me.
Should I accept it as a helper or eat it directly? This question is no longer a problem after receiving the call.
Chen Xiao'er's voice rang out clearly: "Do you really treat her as a child? You, you must be afraid of trouble. If that's the case, why not just give her to someone else to raise?"
Let me think about it... When cunning humans persuade others to give up something, what they mean is "I want it", right?
Xinnaya licked her lips and answered with certainty: "Of course, she is my precious daughter. You also want to be her mother? Then be with me."
[“Of course, she is my precious treasure. Do you want her? If you want, then become my ally.”]
Click!
The connection snapped crisply, and a burst of energy hit my face like a slap in the face.
"Hiss..." The devil rubbed his cheeks in anger.
What's wrong with you again, Chen Xiao'er!
