Chapter 666: No One Can Match
Chen Lun still stood on the rooftop of the Flash Eagle Headquarters.
He overlooked the entirety of Splendid City under the rain, his expression indifferent.
The ivory white carved cane in his hand pointed towards the city cluster.
In the bustling and vibrant metropolis, countless fragments were flying upwards, drawn inexorably towards that ten-kilometer-wide "celestial body" in the sky, attracted, adhered, and integrated by its powerful gravity.
'Hmm, the anchor points are becoming clearer…'
Chen Lun said to himself.
Feeling his Strength could be unleashed more recklessly, which lifted his mood.
Regarding setting anchor points on Azure Star.
No method is faster than intimidating the entire Federation!
Buzz——
Chen Lun, expressionless, raised his hand and pointed downwards.
Invisible power, centered around the "celestial body" formed by "Earth Trace, Heaven Seal," radiated outwards through the entire Splendid City, washing over countless players' awareness.
To the entire Federation, most people didn't actually recognize him.
While the player community, influenced by Fierce Father, had forgotten the name "King in Azure," now, he wanted them to remember him, think of him, thereby providing deeper anchor points.
"I remember!"
"King in Azure, Jack Spett!!"
"Isn't that the final villain in the 3.0 version of 'Era of Mystery'?!"
"Why is he appearing in reality?!"
"This… this can't be a prank!!"
In Splendid City, countless residents received mysterious emails, and holographic images were repeatedly broadcasting "King in Azure's" judgment on the Federation.
Additionally, it played real-time footage of the explosion at Star Valley Plaza, apocalyptic spectacle above the city, and the silhouette of the Gentleman on the rooftop.
"That… such a massive thing falling down, you'd undoubtedly die!"
"Someone save me!"
"Federation! Holy Church! Send someone quickly!!"
"I must be crazy! Neural network glitches, cyber psychosis! I actually see an NPC from the game appearing in Splendid City, threatening to destroy the Federation!"
People needed only to look up to see the ever-enlarging "celestial body."
It gave a sense of insignificance, fear, and despair.
The rain had ceased without notice, yet the shadows deepened, shrouding the sky over Splendid City, enveloping people's hearts.
Sharp, urgent sirens blared everywhere.
The Federation's blue hovercars were visible everywhere, swiftly traversing the city.
Squads of armed forces soon surrounded the Flash Eagle building.
The office workers inside were evacuated, and a thousand-strong armed team orderly sealed the area, even deploying dozens of helicopters.
Every helicopter had two Ether Division agents.
Even a Saint Rank Archbishop of the Holy Church descended personally, followed by an entire bishop team.
Wooo-wooo-wooo!
Helicopter swarms circled the rooftop, casting blinding lights below.
Countless armed personnel equipped with flying backpacks soared from the building surroundings, leaping onto the rooftop, brandishing rifles, encircling the shadowed figure in the black hat.
"Your Majesty Jack Spett, let me introduce myself, I am Stein, the Azure Archbishop."
A middle-aged man, with golden hair slicked back in a blue robe, walked forward solemnly, speaking deeply.
"Though I do not know why Your Majesty descended upon Splendid City, nor why you harbor animosity towards the Federation and the Holy Church, I believe this is a misunderstanding… I, in the name of Pope Su Hong, entrusted by President Gu Qingshu, implore you to sit down and slowly discuss with us."
Helicopters circling were hosting media reporters from various Consortiums, raising a hand aimed at the Flash Eagle tower rooftop.
Their artificial eyes and limbs, modified, held top-tier cameras with billions of pixels, exceeding human visual clarity, capable of perfectly restoring scenes.
The images transmitted via network weren't only in the Central Ring District where Splendid City was, but were broadcast live across the Federation's other four major districts: North District, East Corridor District, West Sector, and South Slope District.
Countless Federation residents viewed the scene via personal terminals or screen projections.
"What exactly is going on?!"
Unaware citizens were just confused.
Thankfully, the virtual host, with a stern face, conveyed the entire process to the public in a low mechanical voice.
Generally summarized as follows: A leader of rebellious elements appeared in the Central Ring District's Splendid City, claiming to be "King in Azure," Jack Spett.
This person, using anti-gravity-like black technology, suspended countless city materials, threatening the Federation by forming a gigantic sphere to achieve unspeakable goals.
This extremely dangerous rebel leader had many accomplices, who were wanted extraordinary players; they infiltrated the city network through unknown means, spreading fear wantonly, their actions were quite heinous.
"…but all residents, please have faith in the Federation; the Armed Division, Ether Division, and the great Holy Church will make reasonable responses to eliminate threats at the fastest speed."
In a neat suit, the virtual anchor sat straight, speaking calmly.
"Below is the live broadcast report."
The scene shifts.
It was the angle shot by reporters on high-altitude helicopters.
Straight at the rooftop scene of Flash Eagle building.
The tightly packed Armed Division personnel encircled the Gentleman in black hat thrice over, as the Holy Church's high-ranking officials seemed engaged in negotiation.
"Unforgivable!"
"Blast these damned rebellious elements, so arrogant!"
