Chapter 217 The Giant in the Dream

The ceremony of the Son of God entering into heaven was not conducted in private.

The ceremony was held in an open-air square. Not only did they not refuse church members from attending, they even invited some reporters to attend.

Although there were no tiered auditoriums around, the people who gathered around could still clearly see all the details of the process thanks to their extraordinary means.

At this moment, it was getting close to night, and many people had gathered to watch the ceremony, and it was crowded.

Although it was orderly, because it hadn't officially started yet, there was a buzz of discussion.

"It is said that he is the youngest Holy Son ever?"

"Definitely. I read some reports about him and it seems he is not yet an adult."

"You are really young and promising."

"To be favored by an archangel is certainly not something that ordinary people can achieve."

“…”

People's attitudes towards this vary, but it is obvious that everyone is very interested.

This is not only because the Son of God's entry into heaven only happens once every fifty years and is extremely rare.

The more important reason is the identity of Andy's family.

The current situation is special, and the drastic actions of the Kingdom of Heaven have made everyone feel the breath of changing times.

But there were not many signs before this change.

Except this Holy Son.

The fall of the York Demon King was related to the Son of God, and the advent of the Archangel was related to the Son of God. So, could the current situation in the world also be related to the Son of God? They would not suspect that the Son of God was the mastermind behind it, because that was too exaggerated.

But it is no exaggeration to say that Andy, the Son of God, participated in this transformation directly or indirectly throughout the whole process.

In this case, Andy's resume, which was basically blank, was also seen by the outside world as being hidden because there were too many secrets...

In short, at this moment, the extraordinary people in the human world no longer think that the Son of God, who is in the midst of the changing times, would be an insignificant figure.

Nor do I think that Archangel Adanelle's designation of her as a follower was a random act.

So when the square was opened and the ceremony was about to begin, many people came to watch the ceremony.

"If it weren't for the recent events, the population here would probably have doubled several times."

In the dense crowd, Xiqi, the headmistress of St. Marian College, said to the people around her while struggling to avoid the crowds around her: "The headquarters was destroyed and a large number of people died. The corruption investigation has made people panic. I find it hard to believe that so many onlookers have gathered here."

Different classes are concerned with different things.

The changes in hell and the emergence of another world attracted the attention of the top leaders, but people like the dean were mostly distracted by the recent changes in the Evangelical Church.

After God regained control of the Kingdom of Heaven, he launched a large-scale purge of the secular church.

Because the gap is so huge, the intensity of this cleansing is very high and reckless.

It is not an exaggeration to say that as a result, more than half of the church members in the world have been lost.

Although the cleansing seems to be extremely thorough, there are still some fish that slip through the net.

“There are many believers who have fallen into darkness, but there are actually many more who are looking toward the light.”

The person next to the headmistress responded to her words, "Evil will never triumph over justice. This is a fundamental truth that has remained unchanged since ancient times."

He was an old man with gray hair and stern features. He was dressed in a white robe and seemed no different from the people around him.

But the red satin tied around his shoulders silently revealed his identity as a cardinal.

In fact, he is the highest-ranking member of the former remnants within the church, and is also the apostle of the former Lord of Laziness.

It was thanks to his help that Lazy was able to sneak into the Vatican and disguise himself as the Pope.

After his laziness was exposed, he and some other cardinals were investigated for a period of time, but somehow he managed to escape the strict scrutiny.

Not long ago, he even participated in the election of the new Pope.

Although the result was not successful, its core position within the church became increasingly solid.

"So we are quite lucky to be able to see the birth of truth instead of being suffocated to death like our ancestors."

The female dean was not clear about the background of the old fellow beside her. Seeing him speaking righteously at the moment, she thought that he was indirectly flattering Andy, the great benefactor of the remnant party.

While secretly finding it funny, she also excitedly talked about the recent changes that were becoming increasingly exciting.

Including the great purge of the church, what it brought to the remnants, including Andy, the Son of God, his influence and improvement on the college, and even greater plans for the future.

"It is said that the top leaders of the Kingdom of Heaven are preparing to abolish the Pope's lifetime tenure."

"Although you didn't get elected Pope, with Andy's influence, we still have a good chance of winning the next election."

"It's a pity that we still have too few people, otherwise the development speed would be much faster than it is now."

"But it doesn't really matter. With Andy's presence, our Order of Saints can recruit new members very quickly. I think it won't take a few years—"

Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by a burst of cheers.

Looking around, a solemn and dignified team was slowly approaching from the end of the square.

Holding lances and wearing full golden armor, the paladins led the way in front, and behind them was an endless stream of Vatican guards, advancing in an orderly manner like a long snake.

In the core of those people, a black-haired young man in a white robe with the symbol of the Evangelical Church hanging in front of him was walking side by side with the new Pope towards the square.

"Is it about to begin?"

“Time flies by so fast.”

The female dean sighed, her voice full of anticipation and joy.

…

"Is it about to begin?"

People in the heart of the Vatican cheered for this.

In many places around the world, a large number of people are also cheering up at this time.

Due to the special circumstances and the need to boost morale, the ceremony was "live broadcast" by reporters.

So through television, extraordinary people from all over the world were able to witness that rare scene.

People in York are paying extraordinary attention to this.

"It's been a while since I last saw you. Andy still looks so handsome..."

The Kozia family gathered in the Japanese-style living room.

Someone uttered this exclamation when the black-haired boy's face appeared on the TV screen.

"yes."

The people around him echoed, "I knew he was not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect him to be so unusual."

"It's ridiculous that some people are still unwilling to lose power and want to sabotage secretly."

"They are just some clowns. There is no need to pay too much attention to them..."

The detailed discussion seemed to be about Andy's power, but in fact it was about being happy for their own future.

The black-haired girl sitting at the first seat in the living room couldn't help but pursed her lips after hearing this, and stared at the young face on TV with extremely complicated feelings.

Although the changes in the world have also affected York, in comparison, this remote small country has been unusually peaceful during this period.

On the one hand, the extraordinary families here have been basically cleansed out, and their numbers have been greatly reduced.

On the other hand, after Andy left, the imperial forces never stopped observing and supporting this place, which played a crucial role in stabilizing the situation.

Although there were no major problems, there were endless small problems.

Especially in management.

Andy supported Sister Lily to become the new "king", but of course the nun alone could not unify all the affairs of a country.

She had few people she could trust, and she herself had just reached adulthood and had little experience, so it was impossible for her to recruit talents from the public.

Therefore, various relatives became the nuns' only support.

In fact, this cannot be said to be a big mistake. With the power of the empire, relatives dare not abuse their power for personal gain or act arrogantly.

However, suppressing dissidents and hoping to turn the Kozia family into a new "royal family" are the desires that naturally arise in these people.

Therefore, contradictions and conflicts often occur.

This was not something the nun was happy to see.

It’s a pity that even though I don’t want to see it, I always see it and I am powerless to change it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

So she simply ignored external affairs and focused all her energy on the matter Andy had asked her to do.

Build a huge ceremony that takes up the entire city of York.

She did this not to escape reality, but to attract Andy on the day of completion so that she could ask him for advice on this matter.

This went very smoothly.

With the help of the empire and her hard work day and night, the project that should have taken a long time has now been basically completed.

However, although the progress seemed to be rapid, unexpected events actually occurred.

The surprise did not come from the ceremony itself, but was born from her.

For some reason, when the main framework of the ceremony was completed, she often dreamed of a huge sleeping figure in her dreams.

His figure was like a giant in an epic legend, blocking out the sky and the sun. His breathing was like a storm, accompanied by thunderous snoring, which made her unable to sleep well every night.

At first the nun didn't think about the ritual, she just thought it might be a problem with her body.

But as the completion date of the ceremony drew closer, the silhouette of the giant became clearer and clearer.

Until now, the giant even made her feel as if he would walk out of her dream and appear in reality at any moment!

This is obviously related to the ritual.

But she never had an answer as to why this happened, and she couldn't ask anyone else because no one else could know.

Only Andy can know the truth.

However, although she wanted to ask Andy, the nun did not have Andy's contact information, and because of the ceremony, she could not leave York.

Those imperial people who stayed secretly in York also had no means to contact Andy.

Because Andy's status rose so quickly, even the Dragon Knight Corps stationed overseas was no longer qualified to help with matchmaking.

So the matter was delayed.

Until now.

Andy's face on TV made her feel both familiar and strange.

The smile on that face looked very kind, but it made the girl feel quite pessimistic.

Because she couldn't help but suspect something.

That is, would Andy have forgotten about York? Otherwise, how come he hadn't even called him after being away for such a long time?

Didn't he care about the progress of the ceremony? Or did he just think that what happened here was a small matter? Compared with what happened during this period, York's ceremony didn't seem to be a big deal.

But, no matter how small the matter was, Andy wouldn't have the time and energy to even say hello , right? He didn't ask before, and he doesn't ask now. After today, Andy is even less likely to care about this.

After all, he was about to ascend to heaven, so how could he have a chance to contact her? You know, the Holy Son of the Gospel Church has never returned after ascending to heaven...

"Don't worry too much."

As if he could see the girl's worries, an ugly man sitting next to her comforted her: "Maybe before he leaves, he will tell the method of opening the ceremony to someone he trusts."

The ugly man is of course Lily's father.

Because she didn't tell anyone about the giant dream, others had no idea what the girl was worried about.

In fact, except Lily, no one else knew what specific effect the ritual would have.

“There is no so-called opening method.”

Lily shook her head and said, "The ritual will only take effect if he comes in person."

"In person?"

The ugly man was surprised to hear this. After hesitating for a while, he said hesitantly: "This seems difficult?"

Not to mention that Andy is about to ascend to heaven, even if he is still in the human world, it is unlikely that he will look back at this small place like York.

It would be fine if Andy attached importance to the ceremony, but seeing his attitude of not contacting us for such a long time, it is clear that he doesn't care about it at all.

However, although he already understood the answer to the question, as a father he obviously did not want to use a firm tone to undermine his daughter's mentality.

However, as a person involved, Sister Lily saw this very clearly.

"It's almost impossible."

As she said this, she glanced at the jubilant family elders around her and unconsciously pursed her lips again.

She was very much looking forward to the ceremony taking effect, clearing away the dirt and gradually changing the hearts of the people in York.

Unfortunately, it seems that this matter can no longer be carried forward.

Because just as she said, if Andy didn't come, the most crucial point of the ceremony would not be completed.

It’s not that there is something bound to Andy, but there is a part of knowledge that she can never understand.

Even with Andy's annotations.

“Maybe this isn’t such a bad thing?”

Absent-mindedly watching the baptism scene that had officially begun on TV, the girl had quietly found comfort for herself.

The result of Andy's leaving cannot be changed, so the only thing we can do is change our perspective on things.

Considering that the dream of the giant is getting closer as the ritual progresses, this mentality is not unreasonable.

After all, that giant didn't look good at first glance.

"Well, who are you saying is not a good person?"

A voice suddenly appeared from the bottom of her heart, interrupting the nun's thoughts and making her stunned for a moment.

The voice was dull and loud, like the roar of a drum, and although it was a question, the tone was full of laziness.

It was as if a prehistoric life form that had been sleeping for a long time had finally woken up! The girl was a little panicked.

"You, who are you?"

"who I am?"

The other party seemed quite confused as well. After hearing what he said, he thought for a long time before finally hesitantly spitting out a name.

"Prometheus?"
