233:
Mary couldn’t figure out what confidence Shelley had to think that he could pass the test of so many people.
The Sensates had existed since the appearance of Sigil. It had experienced more years than many Material Planes. And in the Sensates, there was a sensory hub. Every feeler would store their unique feelings in it. Similarly, they could, by paying a price, experience the different feelings of others.
In the long accumulation of years, all sorts of perceptions were in it. There were liches who had stored the feeling of death, the feeling of a demon’s evolution, the taste of various plants, and even the feeling of slaughter… Among them, Uli alone had provided the taste of thousands of potions.
This man before her, what right did he have to be confident that he could make so many feelers from all over the multiverse experience a unique feeling?
“President Mary, what’s next?”
The calmer and more confident Shelley was, the more Mary felt that she had no bottom in her heart.
“Hahaha! My friend, this is very simple.”
Uli had not worried about Shelley from the beginning. The reason was simple. A person who could take out a precious potion and sit on an equal footing with a Balor could not be a person without a brain.
This half-goat potion maker took the gem from Shelley’s hand and then quickly walked toward the sensory hub in the center of the square.
The feelers who had recovered from the dragon fear, ignoring their fear, all rushed up and came to the sensory hub.
Mary’s face was very ugly. She wanted to say something, but suddenly found that her hand was being held. She turned her head to look at her husband. Kusa’s face was calm, without a trace of panic. He nodded at her.
“Madam Mary, Mr. Kusa, there may be some misunderstanding between us.”
Walking side by side with the president and her husband at the back of the team, Shelley looked at the huge, brain-shaped building in front of him and said softly, “We will not bring any disaster to the Sensates.”
“We are not some heinous people, although the Sensates will not refuse this kind of person.”
The two of them looked at Shelley with some surprise. They hadn’t expected him to say these words to them at this time.
As they approached the sensory hub, Kusa asked, “You know me?”
Stopping outside the sensory range of the sensory hub, Shelley smiled and nodded, “Of course. President Mary’s right-hand man.”
“Your relationship is enviable.”
Watching the couple walk in, Shelley added in his heart, “Of course, I know more than you think.”
“I also know that you are a half-elf… hehe, things are getting interesting.”
“A once-fallen, pleasure-seeking priest and a gladiator who was sure to die.”
“Both of them found salvation from each other.”
“So your relationship is really beautiful to me.”
Morgan was a little curious and also wanted to go in and join in the fun, but she didn’t know what feeling Shelley had input.
“It’s alright. You can go if you want.”
“Really?”
Recently, the trust in Shelley had dropped sharply in Morgan and Erica.
Shelley, whose reputation was damaged.
They understood that this person was not really perfect. He also had desires, and he also had weaknesses. And this made them feel that Shelley was a little more real. They liked a mortal with flesh and blood, not a high and mighty saint.
“I won’t harm you. What good would it do me to harm you?”
The two of them looked at Shelley suspiciously, but in the end, they could not resist the temptation in their hearts and pulled Catherine in with them.
Hah. The two of us won’t do anything to you… but someone will punish you. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent.
“Ah, what a little trick.”
[What did you input?]
“You don’t know?”
“Me, I input some interesting experiences.”
“Maybe there will be an unexpected harvest.”
[Oh?]
Shelley stood outside the square with his hands behind his back, looking at the feelers sitting cross-legged inside. The smile on the corners of his mouth gradually became uncontrollable.
“What will happen next?”
“I hope it can give me a surprise.”
…
Uli placed the recording gem in the hole in front of the sensory hub, then quickly sat down and closed his eyes. The entire square was filled with people sitting, but no one was talking.
Buzz, buzz, buzz.
In Shelley’s eyes, a powerful psionic wave enveloped the entire square. The crowd in the square lost consciousness for a moment, but they soon regained it.
“I” slowly walked through a door. Along with the light, what entered the senses was a wave of cheers.
A scene like a myth or a legend soon appeared in the eyes of these feelers.
A group of silver dragons were flying in the sky, breathing frost dragon’s breath. The falling ice crystals shone brightly under the light, giving the entire sky a dreamlike feeling. And after that, on the distant horizon, there were two huge phantoms looking down on all living beings… they were the figures of gods.
A magnificent and grand great temple was behind “me.” Looking down, I saw an endless crowd, prostrate at “my” feet. The way they looked at me was so pious, so respectful.
They were all shouting the same name, “My Lord Nadia.”
At this time, “I” spoke. A clear but not-lacking-in-majesty voice came out, “You are the ruler of the half-elves! You are the king of Ir! You are the darling of fate.”
“…”
“My Lord Nadia.”
“You will raise your kingdom high and become a star in the sky.”
…
Gradually, the half-elves at my feet also began to repeat after me, over and over again.
Finally, the slightly mixed voices converged into one. The power brought by faith rushed to the sky.
“My Lord Nadia.”
“You will raise your kingdom high and become a star in the sky.”
…
And outside of consciousness, Shelley enjoyed the shock on the faces of the feelers in the square.
Slowly, piety appeared on some people’s faces… and more and more. Some people even had tears of emotion on their faces.
Shelley, with his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly and looked at the dome mural of the Civic Festhall above his head, trying to hide his smile.
“Hmph, hmph, hmph… hmph, hahaha.”
“Ahem.”
“I’m very curious…”
“How many followers can such a shared feeling bring to Nadia?”
[You’re really so evil.]
“How can this be evil? It’s just that I, an unqualified archbishop, have finally done a bit of preaching.”
[Hypocrite! A hypocrite!]
[Hahahaha!]
[But a very interesting experience.]
It was indeed a very interesting approach.
Since Sigil was a place that resisted the gods, and there were few priests, few God’s Chosen… then I’ll let you experience the shock of the moment of ascension to godhood. Let you understand the great power of the gods. Let you understand how outstanding my Nadia is.
[Oh.]
“All of you, cry for me.”
