New York, Divine Revelation Temple, half a day has passed since the conversation between Arale and Erik.
The originally empty futons around the statue were now filled with devout believers. Thousands of futons were actually kneeling full, and there were even many believers kneeling directly on the ground. Kneeling in the Subordinate God hall reached all the way to the streets, blocking the streets.
It was completely dark, as if it was ready to launch some huge action at any time.
Outside of the kneeling crowd, more spectators gathered. Between them and the street occupied by the kneeling believers, a small number of police officers were sweating profusely to maintain order. Occasionally, they couldn't help but show a look of surprise when they occasionally glanced at the kneeling believers.
"Dear audience friends, this is Daily Bugle, and I am the host Aisha. We can now see that there are many believers gathered outside Divine Revelation Temple..."
"Hello everyone, this is... I am..."
"Meet you all again, this is... I am..."
And how could such a lively scene be without those reporters who wanted news at the expense of their own lives? Several news helicopters had already arrived above the streets where the crowd of onlookers were, and were suspended there, but they did not dare to fly over the heads of the believers in front of the temple.
Joke!
These newsmen are not fools, how dare they risk offending those believers by approaching the temple and towering over them.
After all, this temple belongs to Li Ge. No matter how crazy they are, they still need to maintain some respect. Li Ge, this immortal, can truly show his holiness.
Although the crowd of onlookers was very lively and the news helicopters continued to make noise, the believers maintained absolute silence. They straightened their bodies and knelt on the ground quietly, clasped their hands together, closed their eyes tightly, muttered words, and faced the entrance of the temple, motionless.
"Great Immortal, your will guides our direction..."
"Great Immortal, your power illuminates our future path..."
"Great immortal, your generosity fills the world, and your deeds will be passed down forever..."
In the temple, Arale did not kneel down to worship. Instead, he sat cross-legged like a statue of a god on a small lotus platform suspended in front of the statue's lotus platform, facing the worshipers who were kneeling.
Right next to Arale, Erik was also sitting cross-legged on the suspended lotus platform, scanning the devout believers with burning eyes, and then nodded to Arale.
"Believers, someone has blasphemed the great Immortal, and actually controlled the Immortal's tribe to assassinate the president, and wants to discredit the Immortal's tribe. As believers of the Immortal, can you agree?!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"As believers in immortals, can we let the real culprit go free?!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"Can't!"
"As believers in immortals, are you afraid of the government's obstruction?!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Don't be afraid!"
"Then do you dare to follow me and give the culprit a thorough purification?!"
"Do you dare to follow me and confront the government?!"
"Dare!"
"Dare!"
"Dare!"
"Okay!"
Arale looked around with satisfaction at the believers who were kneeling and worshiping the statue. Their eyes were full of fanaticism and piety.
"In this case... everyone follow me, times have changed... the government is no longer just, justice belongs to us, to immortals!!!"
Next to Arale, Erik couldn't help but reveal a smile of satisfaction on his serious face. He was filled with emotion for both Arale and Li Ge. It was also the first time that Mutants could stand on the moral high ground to criticize the government.
"Please wait!!"
"Arale Bishop, can you listen to me for a few words?"
"Wow...!"
"Um... you are?"
The sudden shouting immediately attracted everyone's attention. The believers were still kneeling there, but their heads all turned in the direction of the visitor.
Arale also looked at the black man in a black fur coat who squeezed in at the entrance of the Subordinate God hall. He looked serious and had the majesty of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, but the Afro-like hair on his head gave him a retro feel like a hippie.
"Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., has something to do with immortals."
Arale didn't know black people, so why didn't Erik, an old man, not recognize him? He squinted his eyes and introduced Arale in a leisurely manner, and also specifically mentioned that Li Ge was related to Nick Fury.
Arale suddenly realized it, looked at Nick Fury's face in surprise, and couldn't help but ask his own question, "I always thought that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. must be a white man, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be a black man. This is so strange!"
The voices of Erik and Arale were not loud, but most of the believers belonged to the Perfect Body Realm, and there were even some from the Transcendent Realm. Their five senses were so sharp that they immediately understood their words and also knew the identity of Nick Fury.
"Is it true that he is the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who formed Avengers? Can a black man be the chief?"
"During the chaotic period before, Avengers played a big role. If it weren't for them, I don't know what chaos the world would be like!"
"Man, you're not entirely right. Didn't those new superheroes and super soldiers help?"
"Oh... you guy, Avengers is a friend of the great immortal, how can you compare with those superheroes and super soldiers? Isn't your belief true?"
"Fake... do you want a duel? How can you slander my devout belief in immortals?!"
Nick Fury While listening to the conversations of the believers, his eyelids couldn't stop beating, but his face looked calm. At the same time, he squeezed towards the statue of the god, and the believers also cooperated to move a gap.
Stopping, he immediately stared into Erik's eyes. Erik also looked at him with an incomprehensible smile, his eyes full of condescending indifference.
"Erik... This joke is not funny...Stryker should be tried by the law, not by the temple."
"Xian should not want his sect and government to be at war with each other. His nobility and holiness should not be tainted with killing and violence... What do you think... Arale Bishop?"
After learning about the accident that happened to Divine Revelation Temple, Nick Fury rushed over as soon as possible, and finally caught up. When he saw the figure of Erik, and glanced at the young face of Arale, he had connected everything in his heart.
It must be the old fox Erik who fooled the young man Arale into losing his way, and then encouraged Arale to do this.
Once Divine Revelation Temple, who represents the will of Li Ge, has any armed conflict with the government, things will get out of hand, which he cannot accept under any circumstances.
