Becoming an Emperor Starting from the World of The Wandering Earth

Chapter 90 My Will Is Unmatched

This is certainly not a true clone; it's simply a new version of Raven 3 hovering above the clouds at different heights and positions thanks to Skynet.

The drone, using its high-power, programmable directional spotlight array, combined with precise synchronization and light projection algorithms, creates giant holographic light and shadow effects over the city.

At the same time, the public address systems and displays that were originally distributed throughout the streets of the holy city switched to the front of the church square, pointing at the huge golden figure in the sky.

After a brief period of deathly silence, a raging torrent, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, erupted.

"Holy Father! It is the Holy Father!"

"It's in the sky—it's in the sky too!"

"A miracle! A true miracle!"

People no longer merely knelt in worship, but became so excited that they repeatedly banged their foreheads against the ground and stretched their hands toward the sky, as if trying to touch the "god" amidst the interplay of light and shadow.

Just then, Murphy stopped at the edge of the high steps in front of the church.

Ten golden-armored warriors stood in a fan shape behind him, like the most loyal guards.

Murphy slowly raised his right hand and made a slight downward pressing motion.

This action, synchronized by a drone matrix, was instantly projected onto a giant light and shadow display in the sky.

The deafening noise in the square quickly subsided, leaving only excited breathing and occasional uncontrollable sobs.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the "god" to speak.

Murphy spoke up.

His voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely clear and had an exceptionally strong penetrating power; it could even be heard clearly in the industrial zone at the very bottom of the Holy City.

This is also a new technology for the company.

Using directional acoustic arrays mounted on miniature drones lurking in various corners of the upper level, Murphy's voice was amplified and then directionally covered the entire plaza and surrounding area using specific beamforming technology, ensuring that everyone could hear it as if it were right next to their ears.

"My people."

As the sound rang out, the lips of the giant light and shadow figures in the sky opened and closed in unison.

"The long night is filled with filth and suffering. I have seen it all, I have seen your struggles, I have seen your cries, I have seen your faith twisted and your hope trampled."

Murphy's words were not particularly flowery, but as soon as he opened his mouth, many people were already in tears.

It was as if the grievances that had been suppressed for thousands of years had finally been seen by the supreme being.

"But the night will eventually end. I have returned not merely to manifest myself, nor simply to punish. I have returned to end this long night, to cleanse all impurity, injustice, and unrighteousness, and to lead those who believe in me to escape this sea of ​​suffering and return to the eternal land of bliss, to share in the true, bright, and abundant blessings of the Kingdom of Heaven that belong to you!"

"I will lead you to rebuild your homes, turn scorched earth back into greenery, and transform ruins into paradise."

"I will lead you to fight against all evil that harms living beings, whether it be the bloodsucking monsters hiding in the earth or the greed and depravity that entrenches the human heart."

"Glory is no longer just a distant scripture, but a future within reach. This future will be led by me and created by your own hands!"

After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence.

Then, a cheer that was more ferocious and pure than ever before erupted!

"Long live the Father!"

"Take us away! Take us away from here!"

"Rebuild our homes!"

"Heaven! Heaven!"

The crowd went wild, waving their arms, screaming, crying, and many embracing each other, as if a bright future had already arrived through the words of the "Holy Father".

Hope, something that had almost disappeared in the holy city, ignited in everyone's heart like wildfire.

Just then, Murphy's tone suddenly changed without warning.

The voice, which had been filled with compassion, instantly turned cold, like a frigid polar wind sweeping across the bustling square.

In the sky, the enormous face of light and shadow seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost.

"However."

Just two words extinguished the fervent cheers as if doused with ice water, causing them to quickly subside, and everyone felt a strange chill creep up their spines.

Murphy slowly raised his right hand and pointed to the area below the steps, which was heavily guarded by ten golden-armored warriors.

There, ninety former high-ranking members of the Vatican were kneeling on the ground, tightly bound by chains.

These once high-ranking archbishops and cardinals, as well as powerful priests in various departments and senior generals of the guard, are now all like lambs to the slaughter, trembling under the pressure of "God".

Where light shines, shadows have nowhere to hide.

"What I see is not only the suffering of your people, but also the root of this suffering. A swarm of parasites living under my name, a swarm of hypocrites using my holy name to commit all sorts of filthy and vile acts—true heretics!"

"You, in the name of the Holy Father, monopolize food, line your own pockets, and let your people starve to death in front of the relief stations!"

"You, with your faith as chains, drive the people like cattle, exhausting their flesh and blood in mines and factories, all to build your extravagant palaces and indulgences!"

"You, under the guise of purifying heretics, are actually engaging in factionalism and persecution. Anyone who expresses the slightest dissent is thrown into a dark prison and subjected to cruel torture!"

"Even worse—"

Murphy's gaze, sharp as a blade, pierced several particularly opulent elderly men. "In the darkness, you commit acts of bestiality that defy humanity! Your hearts are more vile than vampires'! Your deeds are more repulsive than monsters'!"

Every accusation, accompanied by a synchronized "glare" from the sky's light and shadow, resounded throughout the city.

In addition, there are projections one after another.

Those were the sins committed by these so-called most devout believers, the so-called shepherds of the Father.

The crowd in the square quickly transformed from initial shock into overwhelming anger.

Those accusations, they were all too familiar with!

Hunger, exploitation, persecution, and those terrifying rumors that circulated but were never investigated were all true!

It turns out that all the suffering they endured was not a test from the "Father," but rather the sins of these demons cloaked in divine robes.

"heresy!"

"Kill them!"

"Father! Purify them!"

Angry roars replaced fear, and the crowd surged forward, their eyes bloodshot, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Murphy's gun tip remained firmly positioned above the ninety high-ranking officials.

"You have tarnished my name, poisoned my people, and committed heinous crimes beyond description. Today, here, in the land of my return, before the thousands of my people whom you have deceived and persecuted—you shall be punished by God!"

The moment the word "punishment" was uttered, a sudden change occurred!

No flames rose, and there was no external attack.

Right before everyone's eyes, those ninety people suddenly stiffened and their eyes bulged out.

Immediately afterwards, their exposed skin began to char and carbonize at a visible speed, as if some unseen high temperature had evaporated all the blood in their bodies in an instant.

"Heh ————·————"

In the blink of an eye, the charred black spread, and their clothes, hair, and even flesh and blood silently turned into scattered black ashes with a pungent, burnt smell.

The whole process was incredibly fast; in less than three seconds, ninety notorious former high-ranking officials were reduced to ninety small piles of ashes of varying shades.
