Chapter 987 - Fallen Angel, Get Ready! (1/2)

Calore, Temple of Light. The flames of battle couldn’t reach here, a gentle holy aura in the air.

News of Nie Yan’s coronation ceremony had quickly spread around the Righteous Faction. Even though the situation across the continent was chaotic right now, many people still came to witness this historic moment.

After all, the Supreme Pontiff held the highest authority in the Righteous Faction.

The main hall in the Temple of Light was packed with players. A red carpet was rolled out that led directly to a seat at the front of the room. The throne of the Supreme Pontiff! A symbol of absolute authority!

In front of the throne was Archangel Tallod clad in his silver white armour. The ethereal wings of light on his back fluttered back and forth. His palms rested on the pommel of his greatsword, which was pointed downward toward the ground. He appeared dignified.

After the Gates of Hell opened, many players became familiar with Archangel Tallod. Seeing his dignified expression, they knew better than to open their mouth. Even though the main hall was packed, it was deathly silent, so much so that you could hear a pin drop.

Bladelight, Smoke Stub, and the others weren’t present. They were busy protecting Okoron. Besides, the coronation ceremony was merely a formality.

Nie Yan entered the hall, slowly walking over the red carpet. Looking at Archangel Tallod and the throne behind him, he still couldn’t help but feel excited. From the beginning of the game to now, from an ordinary player to the Supreme Pontiff, the journey truly wasn’t easy.

Nie Yan scanned the room before landing on a familiar face. Standing in the crowd right below the throne was Xie Yao. She had an indescribable grace about her, making her stand out like a snow lotus in full bloom.

As they met eyes, Xie Yao broke into a smile so gentle and enchanting that time appeared to come to a halt.

Whenever Xie Yao was by his side, Nie Yan felt like he could accomplish anything.

Nie Yan slowly strode forward, all eyes following his every step. The crowd felt like they were watching the ruler overlooking the world as reverence filled their hearts. He was about to officially become the Supreme Pontiff of the Temple of Light!

Nie Yan was an unreachable, god-like existence to countless players!

Many members of the crowd belonged to Asskickers United. They excitedly watched as Nie Yan approached Tallod, their eyes welling up with emotion. As they recalled the brilliance of his past achievements, they couldn’t help but feel their hearts race and boil with excitement. It was him who had led them to the peak of honour and glory!

Nie Yan stopped in front of Archangel Tallod, who placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Holder of the Book of Order, Nirvana Flame, are you willing to inherit God’s glory and spread the faith of his light?” Archangel Tallod asked.

“Yes, I’m willing,” Nie Yan said. He felt a heavy pressure just by being in Archangel Tallod’s presence. What an overwhelming aura! It was far more powerful than any Legendary NPC!

“Nirvana Flame, will you accept the title of Supreme Pontiff and become the executioner of God’s will?” Archangel Tallod asked.

“Yes, I’m willing!” Nie Yan answered. Under the weight of Archangel Tallod’s aura, he showed the utmost respect, not daring to show the slightest arrogance.

“Hereby I grant you the absolute authority to lead the followers of the Temple of Light. Fight bravely! May God’s light be with you!” Archangel Tallod finished. A dazzling radiance brimming with an unrivalled power power fell over Nie Yan,

Nie Yan felt every pore of his being surging with strength.

Within the radiance, Archangel Tallod took out a golden crown and placed it over Nie Yan’s head. His stately voice lingered in Nie Yan’s ears.

“As I bathe in the light of Heaven, God has granted me an immortal body. Archangel Tallod has bestowed upon me supreme authority. As the Supreme Pontiff of the Temple of Light, I will declare war against the darkness and make sure His light illuminates every corner of the land. I will drive off all evil from this world and dispel all of humanity’s sickness. I am this world’s king!”Nie Yan’s deep voice reverberated out.

A powerful aura swept out, causing the players in the surroundings to pale in shock. They didn’t dare to show any resistance as they knelt before him in submission.

Nie Yan’s eyes swept over the crowd. It was as if his gaze could see through all. The players felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

Finally, the players from Asskickers United erupted into cheers.

“Supreme Pontiff! Supreme Pontiff!”

“Long live Nirvana Flame!”
