To be honest, whether it was the Visitor's voice or his facial features and build, none possessed any directly recognizable traits. Only the manner of his arrival, along with the abnormal yet orderly fluctuations in the surrounding darkness after he appeared, allowed those present to confirm that he truly was an extraordinary big shot.
Ronan's gaze swept across the edge of the air currents around the Visitor, which seemed deliberately to separate reality from illusion. Faintly, he heard the sound of waves, similar to yet different from the tides not far away.
They were the rippling waves stirred within the Mental Ocean, gathered by the collective minds of ten billion people on Earth.
This gentleman had projected his will across a distance of more than ten thousand kilometers without even drawing upon the power of the Abyss Zone. Even with the special channel between a High Priest and a Sacrifice Knight as a prerequisite, this method of wielding Soul Power and mobilizing the Mental Ocean was exquisitely refined.
This reminder allowed Ronan to finally confirm the Visitor's identity.
"Hello, Mr. Lanier."
Lanier, High Priest of the Justice Cult, was the Cult's number two, subordinate only to the Justice Chief Priest. Ronan had met this man once in the Virtual Venue during the Peak Conference of Extraordinary Species.
Yet at the time, he had somehow retained no clear impression of the man at all. As he recalled, Lanier had not spoken either.
When Ronan had first begun learning common knowledge about the Inner World, he had sometimes confused the Justice Cult's Chief Priest with its High Priest. Only after looking deeper into the matter did he understand.
Within the Justice Cult, the Chief Priest was the person who maintained the closest communication with the Cult's holy artifact, the Balance of Truth.
