[Comprehensive Yingmei] I cover this earth

The current mayor of Gotham, Elmer, was sweating coldly at the moment, walking towards the depths of the corridor without stopping.

As a tool man pushed to this position by the Owl Court, he was naturally the first to get the news of the defeat of the Owl Court.

The sharp claws were all wiped out, and most of the members of the court were missing. Only the members who failed to go to the meeting last night due to various reasons survived.

But even so, these members were already devastated, and some even showed symptoms of madness, as if they had received some huge mental shock and stimulation.

That night, when he saw the beam of light that shot straight into the sky and drove away the dark clouds, Elmer knew that something must be done.

The wrath of the gods has already descended on this land, if he still drifts with the tide, he will definitely suffer divine punishment!

After a sleepless night, he made a very difficult decision.

He knew that he would never be able to escape, even the Court of Owls was overthrown, he was just a tool man of the Court of Owls, and it would be a matter of time before the church found out.

So he decided to find the gods before the gods find him.

He will confess and atone for his sins to the alien god who lives high beyond the stars and gazes at this land.

Therefore, he contacted Penguin that night.As a tool of the Owl Court, although he does not have the right to obtain most of the court's internal intelligence, he still knows something about the abnormal situation of the Penguin, and of course he also knows the relationship between the Penguin and the Church.

When the Penguin was talking to him, he had a half-smile on his face the whole time, and there was almost pity in his eyes.

"I understand your concerns, Mr. Mayor, but you must understand..." Penguin said, his tone was even comforting, "You made the most correct choice."

Afterwards, the Penguin told him the only way to go to the Mysterious Church to meet the Pope.

At this moment, he was walking on the road to the legendary church.He was so nervous that he didn't even notice when he walked with his hands and feet, and the cold sweat on his back soaked through the white shirt he wore inside his suit.

What kind of punishment will he receive?

Will he disappear into this world completely like those people in the court of owls?

After walking to the end of the corridor, he took a deep breath and gave himself a full 3 minutes of mental construction before pushing open the door at the end tremblingly.

He finally saw the legendary Secret Star Church.

The Pope in a white robe stood under the endless starry sky, his long pale golden hair hanging down softly on his chest.His expression was gentle and compassionate, and his gray eyes stared at him from afar.

At that moment, Elmer could hardly restrain his urge to kneel on the ground.

What is a miracle?

Just a few hours ago, he listened to the bell of the new era ringing by the gods. At this moment, he is on the other side of the galaxy, watching another miracle descended by the gods.

As soon as his legs softened, he knelt down on the ground, hot tears welled up in his eyes, and he murmured, "Forgive me...forgive me..."

The Pope looked at him from a distance, and a smile of unknown meaning slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

With just one step, he came to Elmer in an instant, as if the space had lost its meaning in front of him.

He stretched out his pale and cold hand, and gently pressed Elmer's head on the kneeling ground.

"Don't be afraid..." he said, "the days ahead are still long, and you have plenty of time to pay back all this slowly."

"Tell me what I can do?" Elmer said brokenly, tears still rolling in his eyes, but ecstasy at the same time.

The gods gave him a chance to redeem his sins!

Good God, He loves us!

The Pope smiled and said, "Get up. It's been a long time, we can talk slowly."

……

"Have you submitted all of them?" Gordon, who had been working for dozens of hours without a break, asked with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

"Well." Opposite him, Harvey Dent nodded vigorously, with an ecstatic smile on his face: "The evidence is solid, this time it is basically a certainty, and it will be up to me next, I will put the These hateful guys are completely defeated from legal channels!"

While the two were talking, the door of the director's office was suddenly knocked open.

It was Gordon's old partner Bullock who came in. He was holding a cup of coffee. After Gulu took a sip, he said to the two people in the office: "You better watch TV."

"What happened to the TV?" Gordon asked while looking for the TV remote.

"Big news." Bullock shrugged.

Gordon, Dent, and Bullock looked at the TV set in the director's office that had been tuned to Gotham's local channel.

On the TV screen was Elmer, the mayor of Gotham, whom they were all too familiar with, an extremely slick old politician who dealt with all major forces.

Gordon has always suspected that this guy has a great relationship with the shady people behind Gotham, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove that this old guy has committed any crimes.

He's a complete jerk, like so many Gotham mayors in the past.

And there's nothing wrong with that, because that's how the city's puppet rulers survive.

But now, this old slicker suddenly stood up, what big news is he going to make?

"Citizens of Gotham." Elmer stood on the stage with a serious face and said to the camera, "I believe that you, like me, witnessed a miracle last night.

"In the past six months or even longer, we have gradually realized and even got used to the existence of gods. He is watching us all the time and giving help to everyone who asks for help.

"It's just that we don't want to admit His existence, our ignorance and arrogance cover our eyes, so that we can't see the greater existence outside this world.

"And after last night, we can no longer maintain this arrogance.

"The gods have rang the bell. Citizens of Gotham, He has rang the bell of the new century. A new era of Gotham has arrived!"

The reporters in the audience were crazy, they desperately passed the microphones forward, and the flashes continued to flash: "Mr. Mayor, there are rumors that the collapse last night was because the church destroyed the legendary court of owls. , is it true?"

"Mr. Mayor, have the gangs in Gotham really been cleaned up by the Church?"

"Mr. Mayor, are you also a believer in the Secret Star Church?"

"Mr. Mayor..."

"Mr. Mayor..."

Elmer stretched out his hand to stop the continuous barrage of questions from the reporters, and said calmly: "Please be calm, my friends, all your questions will be answered.

"Yes, the former Gotham's underground authority, the Owl Court, has been completely banned under the intervention of the church. Our law enforcement agencies have sorted out the relevant evidence, and the trial will be open in the near future!

"The gangs in Gotham have fallen apart a few weeks ago, and the crimes caused by gangs have dropped by more than 90.00% within a month. I believe most Gotham citizens have felt this."

The reporters in the audience looked at each other and nodded secretly.

The crime rate in Gotham has indeed been improving rapidly during this period, and it is not much different from a normal city.

"The cleanup of the gang is also led by the Mystery Church." Elmer said solemnly, "He listened to our wishes and responded to us in places we couldn't see. We want to make Gotham an even better city!"

After the reporters were silent for a while, the scene erupted!

And at this moment, the audience standing in front of the TV was also excited.

It's official!

Officially admitted who is responsible for the changes in Gotham in recent days!This is the first time they have heard the name of the Secret Star Church on such a formal and official occasion!

Gordon stared at the TV screen dumbfounded, and said to Dent beside him, "This... how could he..."

How did he defect to the church so quickly! ?

Dent was somewhat disapproving: "Maybe the church really deserves an official affirmation? After all, as you know, they are too important to Gotham."

Gordon was still dumbfounded: "I just didn't expect it, just overnight, just overnight..."

It all happened so fast, he didn't even have time to react!

Elmer on the TV said to the camera with a serious face amidst the noise of reporters:

"After a serious discussion, we believe that the church's role and contribution to Gotham is irreplaceable and cannot be denied. Therefore, I hereby officially announce that the Church of the Secret Star will be established in the city of Gotham. To become a legal church, anyone can join and believe in the Mystery Church without taking any legal risks. All church-related institutions, activities and venues will be approved after review. The review standard is already being drafted, seven working days It will be announced on the official website of the city hall!"

……

The TV remote in Dick's hand fell to the ground with a snap, and the battery cover flew out.

He was dumbfounded: "...Is it legal?"

Is the Secret Star Church legal?

This is no longer a cult that needs to preach secretly, and its main members are even still being wanted, but a legal church that allows anyone to believe in it and is recognized by Gotham City Hall?

"I think Master Bruce will be very sorry that he didn't hear the news in the first place. Since he worked tirelessly for the Gotham Police Department overtime, he didn't close his eyes for 24 hours, so that he was sleeping soundly at this moment." Alfred sat aside and calmed down. Said softly, "The battery cover flew under the cabinet, Master Richard, yes, the cabinet with the carved patterns."

While struggling to find the battery cover from under the cabinet, Dick said, "Is Elmer...has he lost his mind?"

"The Church of the Secret Star has indeed made a lot of contributions to Gotham, which is beyond doubt." Alfred said.

"Let me see what netizens say..." Dick skillfully opened the social platform and started surfing the Internet.

Then something that surprised him even more happened——

"Finally! As a fanatic of my lord, I finally don't need to suppress and hide myself. May the eyes of the secret star stare at Gotham forever!"

"May the eyes of the secret star stare at us!"

"My God, I didn't know until the Secret Star Church became legal. It turns out that my parents have all secretly become believers in the church! Of course, I am too! Together, the three of us in our family are secretly believing in our Lord without telling each other!"

"Don't run away in front, my family is too!"

"I'm a new believer. I want to know where our church is going to worship. Please take me with you, senior!"

"Go back upstairs, I'm an old believer, and I don't know."

"Going back upstairs, the church of the Secret Star Church is said to be in another time and space, and only the most core believers can touch it."

"Gotham is about to become the safest utopia under my lord's eyes! I suggest everyone buy a house quickly, the house price is estimated to rise!"

"It makes sense! Finally, I don't have to save for accidental disability medical expenses!"

"Let everyone have a big news, I am a graduate student in the Department of Chemistry at Gotham University, and my off-campus tutor is one of the core believers, the kind who has been to church! And he also secretly told me that Batman and Robin are also believers! "

"Damn it, big news!"

"I believe in the same god as Batman Robin, and I am also the guardian of Gotham!"

Dick almost spit out a mouthful of old blood!

Who spread the rumors!

Wait, the off-campus tutor of the Department of Chemistry...couldn't be the unlucky ghost who jumped off the building!Does the co-author still have such an academic identity? !
