[Comprehensive Yingmei] I cover this earth

Chapter 46 Moon 46

"This will be a turning point for Gotham!" Amidst a wave of cheers and applause, Elmer blushed with excitement, "This will be a new era for Gotham!"

And he will become a mayor who has contributed a lot in the history of this city!

This city is about to become a brand new ideal city under his leadership!And all of this was done under the guidance of the great god Mystic Eye!

It wasn't that he didn't want to make a career in the past, but in Gotham, where corruption and crime are engraved in his bones, this is simply impossible.

Bloated bureaucratic system, officials who are forced to submit by gang threats, intertwined interest relations... insurmountable mountains stand in front of generations of Gotham mayors, unshakable.

But now, all dirt will be purified by the gods, and all obstacles will not exist.

Who wouldn't want to be a good person if given the chance?

Elmer almost burst into tears.

Had he known this, he should have gone to the temple of the gods as soon as possible and thrown himself into the embrace of faith.

……

[Current city: Gotham (a bustling city that develops rapidly, feasts and feasts, but is as dark as silt. The class gap is difficult to bridge, so there must be hatred in the dark. This may become the best breeding ground for cultivating faith)]

[City Comprehensive Faith Index: A (Cheers, believers! The power of the gods is about to descend on this land, and the gate of the paradise has been opened to you. Beyond the starry sky, the sound of singing in the hall of the gods!)]

[The current special state of the city: the tide of faith (the oracle has been conveyed, and you will carry out his will, and the faith has formed a rising tide. Before the tide recedes, let's spy as much as you want! Peek into the hidden treasures buried under the deep sea. The abyss of endless knowledge!)]

[Special status duration: three days]

……

After the meeting ended, everyone left the meeting room.Outside the city hall, Elmer came to Uriah in three steps at a time, grabbed his hand, and shook it up and down excitedly.

"Thank you, Master of the Church, I will definitely fulfill my mission!" He said excitedly.

Ulea patted the hand that was a little sore from his pinch, and responded, but looked at Bruce who was standing not far away and looking at him.

Bruce smiled at the corners of his eyes, and nodded slightly at him, as if responding to his gaze.

"The Pope asked me to bring you a message..." the messenger looked at Elmer and said, "If there are any problems that cannot be solved in the future, you don't need to report them through Penguin, just go to him directly."

Elmer Chick nodded like a pecking rice: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Messenger, and thank the church for its trust!"

Ulea nodded: "Go."

Elmer walked away briskly. He had never been so relaxed in all these years, as if he had lifted a heavy burden.

He also never felt that being the mayor of Gotham was such a pleasant thing. He thought he was a tool man who was half buried in the ground and died when he left office.

This day is really getting more and more hopeful!

Seeing Elmer's back leaving happily, Ulea looked back, and was about to look for Bruce who was waiting for him, but was stopped by another person.

"Mr. Messenger."

Ulea looked in the direction of the voice: "...Oswald?"

The Penguin stood two meters away, leaning on a cane, looking at him in a well-dressed manner.His eyes looked complicated, but the expression on his face was extremely sincere.

He took two steps forward and stood in front of the messenger.He was a little short in stature, so that he seemed to be a head shorter in front of the courier who was less than half his age, but he didn't care, and looked up at the courier's eyes hidden behind the mirror.

"Thank you, Mr. Messenger." He said very seriously.

"...Why did you thank me suddenly?" Ulea blinked her eyes, a little puzzled.

The Penguin smiled, and there was some emotion in his tone: "Thank you for everything you have done for this city."

——Thank you for making me never regret the decision I once made to join the church without hesitation.

He loves this city, he also hopes that this city can become better, he is a part of this city, and this city is his everything.Before the church came, he had been guarding the city in his own way.

Maybe he is not understood, maybe he will be reviled by others, he struggled in the mire for decades, desperately climbing up, but he just wanted to gain some respect in this man-eating darkness.

When he became a member of the church for his mother, he had some doubts.

He knew how powerful the church was, how irresistible they were, and how ridiculous and insignificant the power of mortals was in front of them.

But he didn't know where Gotham would go under the leadership of the church.

But now, he finally saw the direction that the gods were guiding.

At the end of the road, there is a paradise.

Ulea was slightly taken aback, and then a rare, heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

He reached out and patted Penguin on the shoulder, and said, "Because I am also part of this city, Oswald."

Oswald took off his top hat and bowed deeply to Uriah.

……

Bruce watched the Penguin and the messenger not far away.

His hearing was very good, so he could hear the conversation between them clearly.

At this moment, his mood was mixed, and it was hard to tell what it was like.

But he thought, deep down in his heart, there must be a part of him rejoicing.

I am glad that those silent people who used to only walk in the gray area can finally speak out bravely in the light.

Rejoicing, this city that has been shrouded in darkness for centuries can finally breathe.

I am delighted that the once extremely humble child has finally grown to the point where he can be on an equal footing with the top people in Gotham City.

Those children like him no longer have to endure indifference and malice from all directions, no longer have to go hungry, no longer have to struggle desperately for survival every day, and they can't get rid of it.

He was very relieved that that child once lost his most important relative, but he did not indulge in hatred and become another curse and shadow of this city.

On the contrary, he stood up again from the suffering and tried his best to save the city.

He is not stuck in the past.

He strode into the future.A better, brighter future.

Ulea walked up to him, looked up at him with a smile, and said, "Good morning, Bruce."

Bruce stared at him for two seconds and said, "You didn't answer my call."

Why does this sound a bit aggrieved...?

Ulea laughed, and said with some embarrassment: "When our Lord came that day, my pollution level was a bit high. I was dragged into the church by the Pope and fell asleep all day, and I was dragged to a meeting just after I woke up."

Bruce nodded: "...So, your sudden falling asleep in the restaurant that day was also a self-protection triggered by the high pollution?"

Ulea gave him a surprised look: "That's right...you are too perceptive."

Bruce thought for a while, and said seriously: "Then, it's better for you to sleep more."

Ulea almost laughed, shook her head and said, "This is not a problem that can be solved by just sleeping... After all, you seem to be in good spirits."

Bruce shrugged: "Like you, I just woke up."

"When you first appeared in the conference room, I thought you were going to trouble the church." Ulea said with a relaxed tone, "It's like, no one can supervise the church, can't guarantee safety, etc."

Bruce, who was completely pierced: ...

Unable to refute!

Bruce coughed slightly in embarrassment, and changed the subject: "What are you going to do next?"

Falcone will die in Arkham, Gotham will get better and better, and the source of the horror of the moon, the Owl Court, is destroyed. What will be the next target of the messenger?

Uriah narrowed his eyes and stared at Batman, he asked casually, "That day...you didn't let me kill Falcone, did you?"

Bruce nodded.

"Why?" Uriah asked.

Bruce looked down at Uriah, he couldn't see the kid's eyes, but from his expression, the kid seemed calm.

"So, we can discuss this matter calmly now?" He asked softly, "Are you sure?"

Ulea nodded: "Well, after all, it's been so long."

Bruce was silent for a moment, then said, "You know it's illegal to kill people, right?"

"But I don't believe that's the only reason you stopped me." Uriah interrupted him hastily.

"...you are a smart child, Uriah." Bruce sighed softly, and said, "I had a dream, a dream with omen meaning, in the dream, after you killed someone, you mutated into Monster."

Uriah paused.

Hawthorne: "...dreams. Interesting, a form of spiritual revelation."

[Did he see the future, Mr. Hawthorne?] 】

Hawthorn said: "The future is always changing, and what he sees is only a possibility."

[Then what is the possibility of the future you see? 】

Hawthorne was silent for a moment, with a slight smile in his tone: "Of course it's the perfect ending for the family reunion."

【…? 】

"Expand and talk about it?" Yulia showed an interested look, "What else did you see in the dream?"

Bruce glanced at him helplessly: "This may be something that will happen in the future, aren't you nervous at all?"

Ulea shrugged and said indifferently: "It depends on how you define a monster. I am often called a monster now."

Bruce was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt a little tingling in his heart.

"It's okay, I'm often called a freak." Bruce comforted, and then returned to the topic: "I saw some other things in my dream... I saw a blood moon, which seems to be related to the horror of the moon .”

Hawthorne: "..."

It is impossible for him not to observe something as small as the Terror of the Moon, there must be something else.

"What else?" Uriah asked.

"...and that foreign god you believe in." Bruce looked down at him, with a slightly hesitant tone, "He... just watched."

He doesn't care that His followers are destroyed from the inside out.

Hawthorne: "...Huh?" It was me?

【...Mr. Hawthorne, this is impossible!You did not give him spiritual enlightenment! 】

This kind of behavior is very risky. Once the person who is endowed with enlightenment fails to hold on, the end can only be madness or death!Its benevolent creator would never do such a thing!

Hawthorne froze for a while, then frowned.

Why is this happening?

Why did the power of the Mystic Eye spontaneously give Batman the dream of omens?Why did his body bypass his control?Where did it go wrong?

Although Hawthorne had already started brainstorming at this moment, Uriah still maintained a relaxed tone: "Then, for us fragile humans, it is a good thing that our Lord does not personally intervene in affairs."

"So..." Bruce said, "Are you alone in charge of the church's affairs in Gotham?"

Ulea nodded, spread his hands and said, "Samurai and Pope are not the kind of people who will help in this kind of thing."

Bruce: ...indeed.

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a passerby yelling into the phone in an extremely surprised tone: "What did you say?!"

Bruce and Uriah subconsciously looked towards where the sound came from.

It was Gordon with a pair of panda eyes. He looked like a fairy who had been cultivating for three days in a row, and would be able to soar on the spot in the next second.

"Wait, I suspect I'm dreaming." Gordon asked again in an extremely incredible tone, "You mean, the Riddler, yes, Edward Nygma, the Riddler we all know..."

Ulea felt that Bruce's whole body was obviously tense, and his eyes were faintly sharpened, and his temperament changed suddenly, like a sharp knife about to be unsheathed.

"He surrendered himself?!" Gordon stared as if he had heard some ridiculous joke, his eyes were still bruised and purple, as if he had just been beaten, "Wait, you guys show him to me , Lock it up! Yes, no matter what he says, ignore him, I'll go back right away!"

Bruce: ...?

Riddler, surrendered? ?
