Chapter 16: The Trinity
Moonlit Liberty City ushered in a sleepless night.
Liberty City, Church of the Titans.
Anne led the congregation and held a vigil for the prophet.
With the three-day period at the end of the day, will the prophet be resurrected as believers expect?
Not all Christians are as determined as Anne.
They were eager to witness the miracle, but they couldn't help but worry about what would happen if the prophet was not resurrected as expected.
It is not difficult to imagine that the vast majority of the witnesses present will collapse their faith and the Church of the Titan will be reduced to a plate of sand.

In the church tower, the loud sound of bells can be heard.
Twelve o'clock in the night.
When the bells stop, a new day arrives......
If the prophet is still not resurrected, the prophecy will be proven to be a lie and everything will be finished......
Just when people were suffering from gains and losses, the white linen cloth covering the coffin was suddenly lifted.
The naked young man slowly sat up from the coffin.
The sound of prayer in the church came to an abrupt end.
Tens of thousands of believers have collectively fallen into a state of sluggishness.
Although they have already in their minds, countless times to simulate the scenario of a miracle coming.
However, when the miracle really came, people were still so shocked by the strong shock from the soul that they couldn't think about it.
There was a silent silence for a few seconds.
Until the Prophet stood up and smiled with pity.
The believers in the church woke up from a dream and knelt on the ground to worship.
The joyful shouts of joy are like a landslide and a tsunami!
With tears in her eyes, Anne crawled to the coffin on her knees and kissed the Prophet's feet.
As described in the Bible, she washed the Prophet's feet with tears and dried them with her long, silky hair.
The midnight bell was overshadowed by the shouts of the people who cheered for miracles.
The day of witnessing the miracle has since been designated as "Easter" by the believers of the Church of the Giant God.
Alan calmly enjoyed the cheers and mobs of the people.
There is no wave in the heart.
It is not difficult for him to direct a miracle of resurrection.
The "Prayer Technique" simulates the "Cloning Technique", and with a little illusion, it can meet the expectations of the believers.
Immediately after his resurrection, Eren set about expanding the Church of the Titan Gods.
He used the "Prayer Technique" to simulate the 8-ring "Transformation of All Things" and the 5-ring "Magical Craft", and created a large number of golden Titan statues, which were distributed to churches around the country and worshipped as holy icons.
Each icon contains a hint of Allen's divinity.
Believers from afar do not have to see Allen to pray and worship in front of the icon and contribute their faith to him.
Next, Allen, as a prophet, applied what he had achieved at the Solomon Institute as a doctor.
The Titan Primordial is the divine fragment of the Ancestor Titan.
The Titan Network is actually the belief network of the Demon Reform.
Eren has inherited the divinity of the Ancestor Beamon and the Ancestor Leviathan, and his divine power is far greater than that of any Titan Primordial.
With its own divinity as the center, the Titan network created has a radius that encompasses the whole world.
Professor Butler's "escapist network" was also compatible with him, and he continued to use the former's lax network protocol.
Alan upgraded and expanded the "Escape Network" and renamed it "Salvation Network".
It is not difficult for people to taste the strong religious overtones.
The "Salvation Network", from day one, has linked the Church of the Titan Church scattered around the world.
lest the local sects far away from the Emperor of the Mountains form a mountain power, distort the doctrine, and become heretical, leading to a split in the church.
The Church of the Giant God, which is unified under the "Salvation Network", has stimulated a strong organizational strength, and thus entered a golden period of rapid expansion.
β¦β¦
Seven years later.
Liberty City.
Jingle Bell β
Jingle Bell β
The boarding school founded by the Church of the Titan rings the bell of the assembly.
On weekdays, a naughty child gathers around Anne, not noisy or noisy, and has become a sensible and well-behaved baby.
Today's Anne is over thirty years old, her figure is still slender and slender, and her appearance is still beautiful and moving.
The years have not left any signs of aging on her.
However, compared with when he was young, his temperament is more calm and quiet, revealing a heart-wrenching majesty.
In the church, Anne has two identities.
Both an apostle and a companion of the prophets.
In order to preserve the prophet's otherworldly image of holiness, Anne could not bear children for her husband and idol.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, Anne, who was overflowing with maternal love, founded this boarding welfare school for orphans.
For the past seven years, Anne has personally managed the school, teaching the orphans to read and write, study the scriptures, strengthen their faith, and exercise their superpowers.
The superpowers of the orphans come partly from the skills awakened by the infected Titan cells, and more from the transcendent bloodline.
Anne's adopted son and adopted daughter have been injected with her bloodline essence, followed her to practice meditation secrets, and awakened the warlock bloodline at a young age.
In fact, not only Anne, but all believers who have fused the blood of the prophet over the years have actively shared the extraordinary powers and spiritual methods they have received from the prophet with their relatives, friends, and disciples through parenthood or blood transfusions.
In this way, the bloodline of the Titans created by Eren branched out and spread in the wasteland of the Cataclysmic Era.
"Mother Anne! It's Easter! I heard that there is a big festival going on at noon, can you take us to the ceremony? β
The little girl in the nun uniform looked at Anne with big black eyes flashing with anticipation.
"Of course I'm going to take you there."
Anne smiled and touched the little girl's pigtails.
"You go to lunch, change into your worship uniform, and then we'll go."
"Yay!"
The children cheered.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the loud bells rang from the church tower.
Anne changed into a golden bishop's robe, and led the children dressed as little priests and little nuns through the wide and clean streets to the majestic Cathedral of the Titans.
The crowds in the streets, like streams, gathered in the direction of the church.
Passers-by on the way stopped one after another to take off their hats to Anne, showing their heartfelt respect.
Anne smiled and nodded in return, not snubbing anyone.
The children followed the adoptive mother, sharing her glory and being impressed by her beautiful and generous demeanor.
These orphans, who have been deprived of family care since childhood, are proud to have such a perfect adoptive mother.
Anne's love and teachings illuminated their hearts like a ray of sunshine and healed their childhood trauma.
After the expansion, the cathedral has a total of 30,000 seats.
However, it is still far from enough.
During the festivals, the prophet himself preached, and today, for example, almost the entire city comes to the church, which is crowded to the brim.
The much-anticipated figure finally appeared on the pulpit.
In the past seven years, the Church of the Giant God, founded by Allen, has become the most influential religious group in the world.
His image has spread all over the world through the "Salvation Network" and has long become an idol in the hearts of millions of believers.
Today, Alan plans to change his image and give the believers a small surprise.
Although this wasteland world, the concentration of magic power is not too high, and there is still a lack of high-end cultivation resources such as magic shells.
Fortunately, Alan made up for the lack of spiritual resources by expanding the church and collecting faith willingness.
In the past seven years, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, returning to the ninth order, and the warlock bloodline has also re-evolved to the Golden Titan stage.
The fusion progress of the Ancestor Titan Origin has reached 90%.
If you continue to cultivate, you can't improve.
Alan knew in his heart that the last 10% that was missing could only be made up by fusing the original Titan.
However, it takes too much time and effort to collect and fuse the Titans one by one.
Eren didn't want to spend hundreds of years fusing five Titans each.
Referring to the confidential archives of the Salomon Institute, coupled with the systematic deduction, Alan thought of a shortcut.
If you can take this shortcut, you can achieve your goal perfectly within 100 days.
To achieve this goal, the power of the Prophet alone is not enough, and Allen's other identity in the Metropolitan Vault is also needed......
The sound of the bell interrupted Alan's thoughts.
Facing tens of thousands of devout believers from the pulpit, Alan began today's sermon with a smile on his face.
As the church expanded and believers grew, so did the questions about how to understand the doctrine.
Allen's teachings are simple and easy to understand.
At the beginning of the mission, popular doctrine was a great advantage.
However, as more and more intellectuals joined the church and became scholars, it became fashionable to delve deeper into the doctrine.
In order to convince those who disagree, topics such as "how many angels can stand on the tip of the needle" can also be debated.
Today, the biggest controversy within the church is how to define the relationship between "prophets" and "titans".
Is the prophet the son of God, or the embodiment of God?
Allen must answer this question head-on, eliminate differences, and unify thoughts.
Otherwise, the church is at risk of splitting!
Alan himself did not have much of a deep theological attainment.
But as a time-traveler, based on the historical experience of his previous life, he knew how to avoid this question.
It's time to take that crucial step.
β¦β¦
By the end of the church's activities, it was getting late.
Alan had dinner in the company of the apostles.
Later, he changed into civilian clothes and was accompanied by Anne to visit Professor Butler, who was bedridden.
The old man has been sick for a while, and he claims to be a little sick with a cold, but he has not improved.
Alan came to see a doctor this time, and he wanted to cast a spell to help Professor Butler treat him.
However, after meeting, he had to give up this idea.
On the surface, the professor seems to be fine, except for some weakness.
But Alan could feel that his soul was very weak and that his life was coming to an end.
From the old era to the era of calamity, the old man who spanned the two eras was nearly eighty years old, and it was time for him to die.
Even if Eren uses the magic of the 9 rings, he can't save an old man who is about to die and usher in his final destination.
The wise Professor Butler faced the imminent end of death with poise.
At the bedside, the old man told Alan to run Liberty City instead of himself, and provide a shelter for those who came to take refuge in peace.
Alan shook the old man's hand and promised to take on the role of protector of Liberty City, following the professor's policy of being tolerant and fair to all residents.
"Prophet, I should have given you the 'Starter', but after careful consideration, it is better to keep it for myself."
"In one place, your power has surpassed that of the 'Gazer', and you don't need to sacrifice your limbs to make a contract with it, and you can maintain the Titan network and manage the city well."
"Second, when my life is about to come to an end, I still have a matter on my mind that needs to be concluded with the help of the gazer."
"A lonely old soldier, his fingers must be tightly fastened with the grenade ring in order to be at ease on the battlefield...... Finish the last shift. β
Allen heard what Professor Butler meant and sighed, respecting his choice.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the ward.
Allen left Anne to take care of Professor Butler and walked out of the hospital room alone.
Two of his apostles, Cato and Velen, were waiting.
The establishment of the "Escape Network" has opened up intelligence channels all over the world for Allen's church.
The news that happens in all corners of the world can always be conveyed to Allen as soon as possible.
"Prophet, it is rumored that in the hinterland of the Southern Desert, traces of 'wanderers' have been found!"
Wellen whispered.
"This time, we have to catch this last Titan Prototype before Solomon Company!"
Katomo shook his fists and looked excited.
Alan nodded and instructed Wellen and Cato:
"Inform the other apostles that tomorrow morning at nine o'clock sharp, they will assemble at the church."
He will personally lead his disciples and hunt down the "wanderers"!
β¦β¦
Metropolitan Refuge.
In the most exclusive villa area in town, only members of the board of directors of Salomon Corporation and their families are eligible to move in.
Manicured lawns, pristine swimming pools, and marble sculptures in the middle of the lawn combine to create a luxurious living space.
Here, there is no human suffering at all, just as the golden age before the cataclysm.
Two children playing on the lawn.
The sister and brother are twins, both white, handsome, lively and cute.
My sister is holding her temples with both hands, and she is using her superpower to remotely control paper airplanes, circling and shuttling in the air.
The younger brother, like the older sister, is also a C-level "awakened".
However, telekinesis is not his area of expertise.
Several attempts to fight with my sister for control of the paper airplane have ended in failure.
"It's boring! Play it yourself! β
The little boy, who was embarrassed, turned and ran away.
"Alan! Allan! Don't run around, beware of falling into the pool! β
Kelly was born only ten minutes earlier than her brother, but she was very conscious of her sister and always regarded herself as her brother's protector.
The boy heard his sister catch up, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly he turned around and hid behind Dr. Solomon's marble sculpture, crouching in the shadows.
"You want to play hide and seek with me? It's naΓ―ve! β
Kelly grumbled and caught up, looking behind the sculpture, but couldn't find her brother.
Just as he was wondering, the engine sound of a high-power crystal-nucleated engine came from outside the courtyard wall.
A car stopped outside the courtyard gate, and a fair young woman wearing sunglasses got out of the car with a bag.
"Mommy is back!" The girl ran cheerfully to the door.
