Chapter 796

Ren stood among the Ultramarines, accepting their adoration.

He looked at these Ultramarines who were about the same height as him even if he was half kneeling, and he could clearly see the changes in some people's beliefs with the eyes of his soul. As their original body, the symbiotes have gradually changed from ordinary barbarians to today, subtly changing them. This kind of change will happen sooner or later.

For myself, this is undoubtedly a good thing.

The god of loyalty and glory, Gilliman, is still sleeping in the temple of Astarte. He does not hope that one day in the future, this god will suddenly wake up and snatch the control of the Ultramarines from him.

If Gillimain remained asleep, all was well.

if not……

Ren didn't mind getting another Shenhuo.

"Go, brothers."

He said loudly: "Train on the plateau outside. The sooner you get familiar with power armor, the better. There will be many battles waiting for you in the future, and there will be countless enemies that you need to eliminate."

"Yes, boss!"

The Ultramarines responded with a bang, standing up and entering the portal leading to the uninhabited plateau.

Ren asked two Thundercast Sky Soldiers to guide them in training, and then he returned to the mechanical alchemy room to continue working. The materials he collected could create another 30 sets of power armor. Many parts were ready, waiting for assembly and testing. Done.

After a few days.

It's a sunny day.

The sky was cloudless and the temperature was neither too hot nor too cold, which was very pleasant.

The entire Gotham City was shrouded in a warm atmosphere. The streets were crowded with people and cars and horses were constantly flowing. No matter where you went, you could hear the voices of people talking. After half a month of publicity warm-up, almost everyone already knows that the mysterious building in Shield Island Bay has been completed, and a grand opening ceremony will be held today!

That huge shadow curtain has blocked the sky for almost two years.

No matter where you are in the city, you can see the shadow covering the sky when you look up. When it appears, it arouses the curiosity of countless people and asks around.

Yet no one knows what's going on in the shadows.

The residents of Gotham have gradually become accustomed to its existence, and now it is finally revealed.

Soon after dawn, many residents gathered in the west of the city, climbing up the city wall that stretched for 30 miles, trying to seize a position closest to the island of truth.

In normal times, people are not allowed to go up the city wall, but today is a special case.

Some people fought for their positions, and even though the order was maintained by the Knights of the Holy Lance, there were still several bloody incidents.

Soon, the city walls and docks and ports were full of people, and there were also pairs of eyes staring at the direction of Truth Island on the windows and roofs of tall buildings in the west of the city.

Many people couldn't grab a favorable position and simply went out of the city to the Abraken Peninsula, or even ran across the bay and stood on the weedy shore to watch the ceremony.

There was not a single boat in the wide bay, and the waters were all cleared.

The ships that just arrived this morning were all forced to stay at the exit of the bay. The crew and passengers boarded the deck one after another, watching the island of truth from afar.

But all they saw was a group of Knights of the Paladin on galloping bronze horses, patrolling in the sky around the curtain of shadow on the island.

Near noon.

Finally, amid the eager anticipation of hundreds of thousands of people, the towering wizard tower on the high ground fortress in Gotham City rang a resounding bell.

when!

A round of bright magic radiance emanated from the top, the gate of the fortress opened, and two teams of bronze galloping horses galloped out of it, opening the way ahead.

Then a convoy of more than thirty cars, like a long dragon, drove out of the fortress under the protection of the Knights of the Holy Lance. The convoy came down from the high ground and headed west along the broad street, which had long been controlled, and both sides of the street were crowded with spectators.

"Look!"

"The person in the first car seems to be Speaker Rennes."

"It's not like, it's him."

Amidst the discussion, many people recognized the people in the car, and they saw Ren at first glance, and there was an old wizard with white beard and hair sitting in the back row with Ren. Some people recognized the wizard, and they were taken aback immediately, exclaiming: "The teacher of Chairman Ren, Master Anxi!"

"Master Anse Wodos is also here."

A few people's attention was on the front passenger seat, where Rennes' chief maid, Frajaska, was sitting. Even a glimpse of her beauty would fascinate the men.

Ren's car passed by quickly.

Every car in the back is filled with big names who are famous in the empire, whether they are holy soul wizards or imperial councilors, and the consul of the empire, His Excellency Gnaeus!

The presence of so many big figures made people realize how grand the celebration is today.

Soon after, the convoy reached the westernmost edge of Gotham.

The convoy passed through the city gate and stopped on a platform near the shore. It was built just half a month ago. It rises from the water and covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. The platform is under the water. There is no fence around the edge, but there is a rostrum with ten steps on three sides.

The back of this rostrum is facing the direction of Truth Island.

In the audience, hundreds of elves, dwarves, human superhumans, rich people, business leaders, celebrities, and mercenary captains, all of whom are prominent figures in Gotham City, were invited by the city hall to come to watch the ceremony. They sat under the stage in rows, waiting for the celebration to begin.

At this time, these people looked at the big man of the empire who came down from the car.

The most eye-catching one is naturally the owner of Gotham, Speaker Wren.

He was accompanied by one of the three giants of the empire, who can now be called the head of the three giants of the empire, Anse Wodos. When the old wizard came down, everyone stood up to show respect.

Many people are surprised.

The holy soul wizard will not easily leave his floating city, let alone the empire. Master Anxi must have a reason to come to Gotham in person.

Then, they saw more holy soul wizards coming down from the back of the car.

Master Oroin, who also has snow-white beard and hair and a kind face;

Great Sage Congerald, Duke of Silver Star, Queen of Storms, Dean Sabra;

Gnaeus, the consul of the empire, and the accompanying Reik Guards commanded the dragon knight Haystoke;

Ms. "Blade of the North Wind" Isina, Lord Hestav of Shenzhen Harbor City and his wife Ms. Laila;

Belisariu Carr, chief vice-president of the Mechanics Union;

Headmaster Margarita of the School of Warlocks of Erathusa;

Our Lady Rosita of the Church of the Earth;

The arbitrator of the Justice Church, His Excellency "Silver Sword" Cecil;

There are also many representatives of legendary wizards from other floating cities, Mordu nobles, and more than 20 imperial councilors. In front of church representatives, they appear less dazzling.

Originally, Gotham, who was sitting on the platform, was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that the city lord was neglecting him and made him sit and wait for more than an hour.

Now they have no more complaints.

At this moment, there are six holy soul wizards on this platform alone, which is equivalent to half of the Supreme Council. Head Livlin and Your Excellency Izzet, the number of holy rank powerhouses is close to twenty!

The number of legends is even more difficult to count, at least two or three hundred.

Gotham City has gathered a peak force capable of shaking the world.

From the moment Ren got off the car, the exclamation from the crowd didn't stop for a second.

Such a huge amount of extraordinary power gathered here, even if people tried their best to restrain their breath, the fluctuations that emanated still made countless people's souls tremble and they were horrified. Some residents are just ordinary people, because they can't bear the pressure because they are too close, and they quickly retreat to the back.

More people gritted their teeth and insisted on their positions.

The distinguished guests from the empire who came from afar sat in the front row under the rostrum. Francasta had arranged everyone's seat in advance, so no one was in a mess.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Ren stepped onto the rostrum stepping on the steps covered with red carpets.

Immediately, the audience was safe.

Ryan became everyone's focus.

He didn't speak. He stood on the empty stage and looked at the island of truth about three miles away in the bay. After a few seconds, he turned around and turned back. It's a playful smile.

From the perspective of everyone in the audience, Ren's figure was extraordinarily tall against the shadows, like a lighthouse in the dark, with a subtle aura shrouded in his body.

The holy rank powerhouses feel fine.

The guests below the holy steps looked at this young man who had created countless miracles in the past seven years, and there was nothing but awe and admiration in their hearts.

Today, no one dares to underestimate Ren. His strength and status make people unable to even be jealous, and can only look up to him.

The gathering of so many holy rank powerhouses today is proof.

Click, click...

The flash of the camera kept flashing, and all the newspapers in the empire sent reporters. For the sake of publicity, Frajaska specially set up a press seat on the platform, and the dedicated photographer of the city hall even made a rehearsal to record the An important moment of celebration.

Wren pressed his hand and told the reporters to stop taking pictures.

"All holy souls, Your Excellency the Consul, distinguished guests..."

Ren opened his mouth to speak, and the sound amplification technique allowed his voice to spread across both sides of the shield island bay, so that the crowd watching the ceremony could hear clearly.

He paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the holy rank powerhouses in the front row, his soul eyes instantly saw through their moods at this moment, most of them were full of curiosity.

A few have personal grievances mixed in, such as the Silver Star Duke.

Two years ago, she got the Floating Void City as she wished, but because of some small problems in the Floating Void City, she had a rift again. It didn't reach the point of resentment, but she still hated herself.

And consul Gnaeus, who only confirmed his attendance yesterday.

Ren was puzzled. Gnaeus should now be in the prime of his career. His re-election is a certainty. In less than three months, he will be one of the few consuls in history who have served four terms.

However, under Gnaeus' calm expression, his heart was not calm, and he was a little absent-minded.

what's the situation?

"I know, everyone is very curious."

Ren remained calm, pointed back at the shadow, and continued: "What is built on the island of truth? It's worth me making such a big fuss and inviting everyone to Gotham."

Many people in the crowd nodded slightly.

Hundreds of thousands of people on the distant city walls and on both sides of the bay also made noises. This is a question that everyone cares about. What is being built on the island of truth?

Gotham City has a lot of gossip.

The most credible and widely circulated one is the Temple of the Goddess of Magic, but no one is sure, and some people can't prove it. The only basis for this guess is "Truth Island". It was not called this name before, but it was given by Ren.

As we all know, the pursuit of magical truth is the most important teaching of the goddess of magic.

Ren is also a believer in the goddess.

Gotham City does not yet have a temple for the goddess of magic. It is very reasonable for him to build a temple for the goddess in his own city.

"Many people speculate that it is a temple." Ren smiled, "This guess is correct, but not entirely correct."

There was an uproar in the audience.

People's curiosity was aroused by Ren, and even the Holy Soul Wizards like Anse Wodos and Oroin looked at the shadow frequently. However, they found that even their own eyesight could not see through the shadow curtain, as if they were blocked by a mysterious force.

The three sisters of the Silver Star Duke looked at each other, and they sensed a familiar aura.

That is the divine power of the goddess.

The Queen of Storms is impatient. As soon as she stood up and wanted to urge Rennes to stop playing tricks, Rennes said loudly: "Everyone, today is destined to be a day that will be recorded in history. Let us pray to the goddess together. The goddess protects, and the truth will last forever!"

Most of the believers of the goddess of magic stood up.

"The goddess protects, and the truth lasts forever!"

"The goddess protects, and the truth lasts forever!"

"The goddess protects, and the truth lasts forever!"

Hundreds of thousands of people folded their hands in the unique prayer posture of the Goddess of Magic, and shouted in unison. The sound of prayer resounded through the sky and into the sky, and soon attracted the attention of a great will in the depths of the distant void. The breath spread faintly above the sky.

Even if you are not a believer in the goddess of magic, you can only bow your head and keep silent at this time.

In the solemn atmosphere, Ren's voice came to people's ears: "Everyone, raise your heads, the time to witness the miracle has come!"

Everyone looked up.

Just at this moment, the great curtain of shadow in the middle of the bay faded, gradually revealing a magnificent outline.

The shadow quickly and completely dissipated, and people finally saw its appearance clearly.

Wow!

The big figures on the platform, on the city wall, on both sides of the bay, on the windows and balconies of high-rise buildings in the city, and on the decks of ships in the distance, at this moment, everyone’s eyes were wide open, as if an earthquake had occurred in their pupils, their expressions were dull, counting Hundreds of thousands of people did not make a sound, only the waves lapping on the shore, and the crisp chirping of a flock of seagulls.

After a few seconds of silence, the crowd boiled instantly, screaming one after another.

"Goddess is above!"

"My God, it's really a miracle! No, it's a miracle..."

Looking at the magnificent building standing on the island of truth, people were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time, and their eyes were full of disbelief.

It turns out that a statue of a goddess of magic was built on the island of truth!
