"Do we still need evidence for what we're doing?"
Lucius asked. "Even if we exclude these speculations, we can be sure that this Pope Steven is a very powerful Arcanist. Are we going to watch him join the Golden Oak Kingdom and pose a threat to the future Bauhinia Federation?"
"But this reason won't be enough to convince your boss!"
Professor Luthor was still not optimistic about his plan. "You want to use this opportunity, but the boss won't agree."
"If he doesn't agree, we can just do it secretly. Isn't that fine? We can also test the combat effectiveness of the consultant team. "
The corners of Lucius's mouth curled up subtly, like a little fox that had stolen a chicken.
…
Half a month later.
The Federation airship field.
Today's passengers clearly noticed the difference here.
Not only had the surroundings become cleaner and tidier, but there were also more fanatical people dressed in religious styles.
"What's going on?"
A big-bellied rich man called the stewardess. "Who are they?"
"Sir, you still don't know, right?"
The stewardess smiled and pointed to a sign and banner not far away. On it were written in the Federation language with the words' A warm welcome to Pope Steven 'and so on. "This is the Pope of the Church of Redemption. He has been invited by our Federation President to give a speech!"
"Church of Redemption, it sounds a little familiar …"
The fat customer muttered, "There are too many different religions in the Federation now. Last time, there were two fellows who wanted to sell me a religion that believed in werewolves. I have no interest in those furry monsters at all! The explosion at the train station three days ago was said to be the work of a group of believers of evil gods. What so-called doomsday? What the hell! "
"How can you say that?"
A passenger next to him, who was obviously a believer of the Church of Redemption, immediately became angry. "The priests of the Church of Redemption are truly noble people with faith and moral character. Several of my friends have really received the grace of God and regained their health. How can you compare our Lord with those fake gods?"
His neck turned red as if he was going to rush over and fight to the death in the next moment.
"Sorry … it was a slip of the tongue!"
The fat passenger did not know what to say in his heart, but he immediately admitted defeat. After all, as soon as they heard the other party's voice, the surrounding believers surrounded them with rather unfriendly expressions.
He suspected that if he continued to persist, he would definitely be taught a harsh lesson. At that time, no one would come to save him.
Wu Ming had never been able to say that the law does not punish the masses.
"Our Lord is merciful. Since you've realized your mistake, we'll accept your apology!"
A priest in a white robe said with a smile. Suddenly, he turned his head. "They're here!"
A series of black sedans were parked outside the airship field. Many people got off the sedans, including grey-haired old men and spirited young men. The only similarity was that they all looked like they were on a pilgrimage.
"That's someone from the Dewey family. I've seen him before!"
Around the fatty, a passenger's suppressed cry of surprise could be heard.
At this time, he was already speechless. He looked at the big shots that he could only see in newspapers and radio piously walk past him and respectfully wait in the aisle.
"Does the … God of Redemption have such great power in the Federation?"
At this moment, Fatty's face was flushed red. He really wanted to give himself a slap.
What kind of medicine did he take just now? How dare he slander other people's faith like this. What would he do in the future if he bore a grudge against him?
In fact, he was purely scaring himself. Wu Ming was quite strict with his subordinates. It was not that he did not take advantage of his power to bully others, but he would certainly not pursue such a small matter and lower his status for no reason.
"They're coming!"
At this moment, a giant airship landed. Fatty immediately saw many believers blocking the entrance and exit, holding up horizontal couplets and signs, and some even burst into tears.
Those who could come here to pick up the airship were all true devout believers, even close to fanatics.
Under the expectations of the public, a line of 18 tall and dignified Holy Virgins slowly walked out from the red carpet at the door of the airship.
Seeing this, all the outsiders sucked in a breath of cold air.
The Church of Salvation was indeed very rich and overbearing. They had actually booked an airship.
In fact, they did not know that the Church of Redemption even had its own private airship group. If it were not for Wu Ming's statement to keep a low profile, they would definitely clear the entire airship company.
"Carter, our believers in the Federation are still very devout …"
Wu Ming, dressed in the unique costume of the Pope, slowly walked down the airship and waved to the believers on both sides of the aisle.
Bob and a group of Paladins from the Disciplinary Corps had to work hard to form a human wall to prevent those fanatical believers from crossing the cordon.
"In fact … the essence of the believers in the entire Federation is almost all here!"
Carter replied with a wry smile.
Wu Ming also understood this very well.
After all, if they were not truly devout or fanatical believers, how many would give up everything they had and specially come to pick up the airship?
"Welcome, Your Holiness Pope Steven!"
At the gate, several City Hall officials and Federation diplomats were already waiting there with professional smiles on their faces. "I hope your journey will be smooth and that you can leave a pleasant memory on the land of the Federation!"
"I'm also looking forward to this!"
Wu Ming replied politely and looked to the side at the same time.
The old man from the Dewey family who had wagged his tail and begged him before was also there.
Of course, at this time in public, in front of a large number of media, Spock Dewey still maintained his usual cold face. He only quickly stepped forward when he saw Wu Ming.
"Welcome, Your Holiness Pope!"
Seeing Wu Ming look over, Spock immediately saluted.
He used the etiquette of the Church of Redemption to let outsiders know at a glance that he had already joined the Church of Redemption and become a believer of the God of Redemption.
"Thank you for coming in person!"
In front of outsiders, Wu Ming naturally had to give Spock face. The two smiled and shook hands, and this scene was frantically photographed by the reporters and paparazzi who had been waiting for a long time.
Although the patrolling police were already trying their best to maintain order, the Pope Wu Ming was a bit mysterious to the citizens of Bauhinia, and they were even more curious about him.
It was really incredible that a young man had built the Church of Redemption from scratch and developed it to its current level.
Even Bigelow University had long listed Steven and Carter as outstanding alumni. After Carter donated a large sum of money, they even intended to build statues for the two.
In the end, the matter was dropped due to the objections of some old professors, but Carter's portrait was already openly hung in the hallway of Bigelow University.
As for Wu Ming?
He really did not want to be in the limelight, so he directly refused.
When they walked out of the airship port, the streets were crowded with believers, and Wu Ming could feel their fanaticism.
However, under this enthusiasm, he also noticed something else.
"Your Holiness Pope, please get in the car. We have prepared the best hotel in the city for you! Mr. Mayor hopes to have dinner with you! "
At this time, a diplomat opened the door of the limousine.
"Thank you!"
Wu Ming glanced somewhere and immediately got in the car.
The special train slowly drove out, and in the place he had just glanced at, Lucius trembled. "He found us?"
"To be honest, I'm really not optimistic about your plan!"
Beside Lucius, Luther was opening a suitcase and fiddling with the many strange instruments inside. "According to what you said, Pope Steven is an abnormally powerful Extraordinary! And our consultant team is just trash among Reincarnators. The truly powerful Reincarnators simply disdain our recruitment. "
"Okay, how are his data? Have you collected it? "
Lucius showed a confident smile. "It's just collecting data. This is a normal task of our Supernatural Phenomenon Management Office. Even the boss can't say anything …"
"It's … unbelievable …"
Luther pushed up his glasses. "How should I put it …"
He pondered for a moment. "According to the drawbacks mentioned in the previous experiment report, I also obtained some technology from the God's Space from a few consultants. Only then did I make some improvements to the X-factor detector and set a minimum standard. According to the classification in the God's Space, a level one Reincarnator should have an X-factor concentration between 1 and 9, a single digit. Level two Reincarnators should have an X-factor concentration between 10 and 99! A level three Reincarnator with over 100. Do you know what this means? "
"The hierarchy between Extraordinary is very strict, and the gap between them increases exponentially," Lucius replied.
"Don't beat around the bush. Tell me directly. What level of Reincarnator can Pope Steven's power compare to?"
"I don't know …" Professor Luther replied bitterly.
Professor Luther replied bitterly, "This new detector has a peak value of 9999! In theory, it's the limit of a level four Reincarnator … But just now … it still failed for a moment. If this is not a malfunction of the instrument, it means that Steven's strength has perhaps exceeded the limits of mortals! "
What were the limits of mortals?
Even Level Three and Level Four Reincarnators could only retreat temporarily when faced with an army of armored vehicles and turrets that were armed to the teeth with live ammunition.
But there was another type of person who was different!
In legends, the saints of the True God could revitalize the earth. Wherever they walked, the seas would automatically part, and thousands of armies would bow their heads.
Such strength was no longer something that the armies of the mortal world could restrict!
This was the feeling that Pope Steven gave him now. In the Federation, there was almost nothing that could restrain him!
"That glance just now was definitely intentional!"
Lucius gritted his teeth. "That was a demonstration and provocation!"
