Chapter 345: Trinity
Liberty City, shrouded in moonlight, ushered in a sleepless night.
Liberty City, Cathedral of the Titans.
Anne led the believers to keep vigil for the prophet.
The three days have come. Will the prophet be resurrected as the believers expect?
Not all believers are as firm as Anne.
They were eager to witness a miracle, but they couldn't help but worry: what would happen next if the prophet failed to resurrect as expected?
It is not difficult to imagine that the faith of the vast majority of witnesses present will collapse, and the Church of the Giant God will fall apart.
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
From the church tower came the ringing of loud bells.
Exactly twelve o'clock midnight.
When the bells stop ringing, a new day begins...
If the prophet still fails to resurrect, the prophecy will be proven to be a lie, and everything will be over...
Just when people were worried and anxious, the white linen covering the coffin was suddenly lifted.
The naked young man slowly sat up from the coffin.
The prayers in the church suddenly stopped.
Tens of thousands of believers were collectively stunned.
Even though they had simulated the scene of the miracle happening countless times in their minds.
However, when the miracle really happened, people were still so shocked from the bottom of their souls that they were unable to think.
There was complete silence for several seconds.
Until the prophet stood up and smiled with compassion.
The believers in the church suddenly woke up from their dream and knelt on the ground to worship.
The cheers of joy and tears were like a landslide and a tsunami!
With tears in her eyes, Anne crawled on her knees to the coffin and kissed the Prophet's feet.
As described in the Bible, she washed the prophet’s feet with her tears and wiped them with her long, silky hair.
The midnight bell was drowned out by the shouts of people cheering for the miracle.
The day that witnessed the miracle was designated as "Easter" by the believers of the Giant God Church.
Alan calmly enjoyed the cheers and cheers of the people.
There was no ripple in my heart.
It is not difficult for him to direct a miracle of resurrection.
The "prayer technique" simulates the "cloning technique", and with a little bit of illusion, it can meet the expectations of believers.
After his resurrection, Alan immediately set about expanding the Church of the Titan.
He used the "prayer spell" to simulate the 8th-level "Transfiguration" and the 5th-level "Divine Craftsmanship" to create a large number of golden Titan statues, which he distributed to churches around the country to be worshipped as holy images.
Each statue contains a trace of Alan’s divinity.
Believers from afar do not need to have met Allen in person to pray and worship the holy image and contribute their faith and will to him.
Next, Allen, as a prophet , applied the results he had gained as a doctor at the Solomon Institute.
The Titan Primarch is the divine fragment of the original Titan.
Titan Network is actually a modified faith network.
Alan inherited the divinity of the original Behemoth and the original Leviathan, and his divine power is far greater than that of any other Titan Primitive.
With its own divinity as the center, it created a Titan network with a radiation radius covering the entire world.
He also incorporated the "Secluded Network" created by Professor Butler and adopted the former's relaxed network protocol.
Allen renamed the upgraded and expanded "Escape Network" to "Savior Network".
It is not difficult for people to taste the strong religious color from it.
Since its inception, the "Salvation Network" has linked the churches of the Giant God Church scattered around the world.
This is to prevent local sects from forming their own factions, distorting the doctrines, becoming heretics and causing the church to split.
The Giant God Church, integrated under the "Salvation Network", has stimulated a powerful organizational force and entered a golden period of rapid expansion.
…
Seven years later.
Liberty City.
Ding-ling-ling——
Ding-ling-ling——
The boarding school founded by the Giant God Church rang the assembly bell.
The children, who are usually very naughty, gathered around Anne, without making any noise or noise, and became sensible and well-behaved children.
Anne is now over 30 years old, but she is still slim and slender, and her appearance is still beautiful.
Time has left no signs of aging on her.
However, compared with his youth, his temperament is more calm and peaceful, revealing a majestic aura that impresses people.
In the church, Anne has two identities.
Both an apostle and a companion of the prophet.
In order to maintain the prophet's holy image that is detached from the world, Anne cannot bear children for her husband and idol.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, Anne, overflowing with maternal love, founded this boarding welfare school specifically for orphans.
During the past seven years, Anne has personally managed the school, teaching the orphans to read and write, learn scriptures, strengthen their faith, and develop their supernatural powers.
The orphans' superpowers come partly from the awakened skills of infected Titan cells, but more from their extraordinary bloodlines.
Anne's adopted son and daughter were both injected with her blood essence and followed her to practice the secret meditation technique. They awakened their warlock blood at a young age.
In fact, it's not just Annie. Over the years, all the believers who have merged with the blood of the prophet have actively shared the extraordinary powers and practice methods they obtained from the prophet with their relatives, friends and disciples through giving birth to children or receiving blood transfusions.
The Titan bloodline created by Eren has spread and expanded across the wasteland of the Cataclysm Era.
"Mother Anne! Today is Easter! I heard that there will be a grand ceremony at the church at noon. Can you take us to watch the ceremony?"
The little girl in nun's uniform blinked her big black eyes and looked at Anne expectantly.
"Of course I'll take you there."
Anne smiled and stroked the little girl's pigtails.
"You guys go have lunch and change into your worship uniforms, then we'll be off."
“Yeah!”
The children cheered.
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, a loud bell rang from the church tower.
Anne changed into a golden bishop's robe and led the children dressed as little priests and nuns through the spacious and clean streets towards the majestic Colossus Cathedral.
The crowds on the streets, like streams, also gathered in the direction of the church.
Passersby who passed by on the way stopped, took off their hats to greet Anne, and showed their heartfelt respect.
Anne smiled and nodded in return, not snubbing anyone.
The children followed their adoptive mother, sharing her glory, and were also impressed by her beautiful and elegant demeanor.
These orphans, who have lacked the care and love of their family since childhood, are very proud to have such a perfect adoptive mother.
Anne's care and teaching were like a ray of sunshine that illuminated their hearts and healed their childhood traumas.
After the expansion, the cathedral has a total of 30,000 seats.
However, it is still far from enough.
During every festival celebration, the prophet personally preaches. For example, today, almost all the residents of the city come to the church, and it is packed.
The much-anticipated figure finally appeared on the pulpit.
In these seven years, the Giant God Church founded by Allen has become the most influential religious group in the world.
His image has spread throughout the world through the "Salvation Network" and has long become an idol in the hearts of tens of millions of believers.
Today, Allen plans to change his image and give his believers a little surprise.
Although the concentration of magic power in this wasteland world is not too high, it still lacks high-end cultivation resources such as magic shells.
Fortunately, Allen made up for the lack of practice resources by expanding the church and collecting faith and power.
Over the past seven years, his cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, returning to the ninth level, and his warlock bloodline has evolved back to the Golden Titan stage.
The fusion progress of the Origin of the Ancestral Titan has reached 90%.
There is no way to improve by continuing to practice.
Alan knew clearly that the last 10% could only be made up by fusing the Titan Primitives.
However, collecting and fusing the Titan Primarchs one by one would take too much time and energy.
Alan didn't want to spend hundreds of years fusing the five Titan Primitives separately.
Referring to the confidential files of the Solomon Institute and combining it with systematic deduction, Allen came up with a shortcut.
If you can take this shortcut, you can achieve your goal perfectly within a hundred days.
To achieve this goal, the power of the prophet alone is not enough, and Allen's other identity in the Metropolitan Shelter must also cooperate...
The ringing of the bell interrupted Alan's thoughts.
Facing tens of thousands of devout believers below the pulpit, Allen began today's sermon with a smile on his face.
As the church expanded and the number of believers grew, the question of how to understand doctrine became more and more acute.
The King James Bible is simple and easy to understand.
At the beginning of the mission, popular teachings were a great advantage.
However, as more and more intellectuals joined the church and became scholars, in-depth study of doctrine became a fashion.
In order to convince those who hold different opinions, people would argue over topics such as "how many angels can stand on the tip of a needle" until their faces turned red.
Nowadays, the biggest controversy within the church is how to define the relationship between "prophet" and "Titan".
Is the prophet the Son of God or the incarnation of God?
Allen must give a direct answer to this question, eliminate differences and unify thoughts.
Otherwise the church risks splitting!
Allen himself does not have much knowledge of theology.
But as a time traveler, based on the historical experience of his previous life, he knew how to avoid this problem.
It's time to take that crucial step.
…
By the time the church service ended, it was already dark.
Allen had dinner in the company of the Apostles.
Afterwards, he changed into casual clothes and, accompanied by Anne, visited Professor Butler who was bedridden .
The old man has been ill for some time. He claimed that he had caught a minor cold, but his condition has not improved.
When Allen came to see the doctor this time, he wanted to cast a spell to help Professor Butler treat his condition.
However, after the meeting, he had to give up the idea.
On the surface, the professor seemed to be fine except for being a little weak.
But Alan could feel that his soul was very weak and his life was coming to an end.
The old man, who has spanned two eras, from the old times to the era of disaster, is nearly eighty years old and it is time for him to die.
Even if Alan used the 9th ring magic, he was unable to save an old man who was about to die from death and bring him to his final destination.
The wise Professor Butler faced his approaching death with a calm attitude.
By the bed, the old man asked Allen to manage Liberty City on his behalf and provide a shelter for those who came to seek refuge where they could live and work in peace.
Allen held the old man's hand and promised to shoulder the responsibility of the protector of Liberty City, follow the policies set by the professor, and treat all residents with tolerance and fairness.
"Prophet, I should have given you the Gazer, but after careful consideration, I decided to keep it for myself."
"Firstly, your power has surpassed that of the Gazer. You don't need to sacrifice your own limbs to sign a contract with it. You can still maintain the Titan Network and manage this city."
"Secondly, as my life is about to come to an end, I have something on my mind that I need the help of the Gazer to resolve."
"The lonely old soldier must hold the grenade pull ring tightly with his finger to stay at ease on the battlefield... and finish his last shift."
Alan heard the hidden meaning of Professor Butler's words, sighed, and respected his choice.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.
Alan left Anne to take care of Professor Butler and walked out of the ward alone.
Two of his apostles, Cato and Waylon , were waiting.
The creation of the "Shekate Network" has laid out intelligence channels around the world for Allen's church.
News happening in every corner of the world can always be transmitted to Allen first.
"Prophet, it is said that traces of the 'Wanderer' have been found in the heart of the southern desert!"
Waylon reported in a low voice.
"This time, we have to catch the last Titan Primarch before Solomon Company does!"
Kato rubbed his hands together, looking excited.
Alan nodded and told Weiren and Cato:
"Notify the other apostles to gather at the church at 9 a.m. tomorrow."
He will personally lead his disciples to hunt down the "wanderers"!
…
Metropolitan Shelter.
The most upscale villa area in the city, only members of the Solomon Company’s board of directors and their families are eligible to live there.
The neatly manicured lawn, the clear swimming pool and the marble sculpture placed in the center of the lawn together create a luxurious living space.
Here, there is no trace of worldly suffering, just like the golden age before the catastrophe.
Two children are playing on the lawn.
The sister and brother are twins, both of them are fair, handsome, lively and cute.
My sister pressed her hands on her temples and was using her superpowers to control a paper airplane, which was circling and flying in the air.
The younger brother, like his older sister, is also a C-level "Awakener".
However, telekinesis was not his area of expertise.
Several attempts to wrest control of the paper airplane from her sister ended in failure.
"It's so boring! Have fun by yourself!"
The little boy, angry and embarrassed, turned and ran away.
"Alan! Alan! Don't run around, be careful not to fall into the pond!"
Kelly was born only ten minutes earlier than her brother, but she was very conscious of being an older sister and always considered herself her brother's protector.
The boy heard his sister catch up and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly he turned around , hid behind the marble sculpture of Dr. Solomon, and crouched in the shadow.
"You want to play hide and seek with me? How childish!"
Kelly complained as she ran after him and looked behind the sculpture, but she couldn't find her brother.
Just when I was wondering, the sound of a high-power crystal core engine came from outside the courtyard wall.
A car stopped outside the courtyard gate, and a slim young woman wearing sunglasses got out of the car carrying a bag.
"Mom is back!" The girl ran to the door happily.
