Chapter 2027: Chapter 2027
"Hmm. And all the floating airships in the city must be completely destroyed, leaving nothing for those Sun Sect guys."
These people were none other than the remnants of the Holy Church escaping in defeat.
Their ignorance due to the lack of intelligence and the arrogance of ruling the Southern Continent for countless years left them almost clueless about the current strength of the East Wilderness.
Except for Sophia Jones, they had no understanding of the new empire that was about to be established.
What they didn’t know was that Leonard Churchill had been waiting all these days, not only preparing for the coronation ceremony but also waiting for these deserters to arrive with the hidden treasures of the Holy Church treasury.
The melodious ceremonial music resounded throughout Tunis City.
Leonard Churchill rode a luxurious dragon-horn carriage inlaid with various gemstones along the red carpet, swiftly passing through most of the city, and then returned to the palace.
On both sides of the red carpet, hundreds of Mechanical Warriors were neatly lined up, firing salutes in unison.
The High Priest Tracy Garcia stood at the end of the steps, beside her were the Lady Valkyrie Sophia Jones in glistening silver armor, the White Queen Camilla in a water-blue gown, the Moon Queen Catherine Carter in her formal attire, and Seven Brown clad in a mechanical exoskeleton, Marshal Andre of the Iris Legion... Next to them were the generals and ministers of the Rebel Army, Alliance Army, and Orlan Royal Court.
Everyone focused intently, watching the golden carriage stop before the steps.
The guards opened the carriage door, and Leonard Churchill, dressed in imperial robes, stepped onto the red carpet.
Leonard Churchill looked up at the long staircase, resolutely making his way up.
As he stepped onto the stairs, he immediately felt countless gazes converging on him, a force of belief exclusive to kingship.
From today onwards, he was the Emperor, the supreme ruler worshiped by countless people.
For the first time, Leonard Churchill distinctly felt the overwhelming Royal Fortune bestowing itself upon him.
The steps before him seemed to transform into a long stairway to godhood.
Leonard Churchill clearly sensed that with each step he took, the Royal Fortune on him solidified incrementally.
"Is this the transcendent ceremony...?"
Leonard Churchill carefully perceived this peculiar sensation.
The coronation ceremony was almost the most direct transcendental ritual in the world; once crowned, the Life Pattern would immediately change.
Moreover, this ceremony allowed one to clearly see the flow of the law of kingship.
And to see those threads of destiny entwining themselves around him.
As he ascended the throne step by step, Leonard Churchill clearly felt himself becoming the ruler of the living creatures, his aura visibly surging.
On the panel, the enlightenment library refreshed:
"You gained insights during the coronation ceremony, law of kingship +88731"
"You comprehended the awe of the Emperor during the promotion ceremony, Divine Fire +1233"
"So this is the promotion ceremony... no wonder..."
Leonard Churchill carefully sensed the change within him,
He had an intense feeling that if he wished, he could entirely follow the river of law flowing before him, akin to substance, and glimpse the secret of the law of kingship condensing into Godhood.
However, Leonard Churchill chose not to, instead thoroughly experiencing this process.
Not only him as the Emperor, but Sophia Jones, Camilla, Catherine Carter, Seven Brown... and the generals and ministers also felt the immense blessing of Dynasty Fortune.
At this moment, the fortunes of all major forces truly converged in a meaningful way, fate entangled and intertwined, bringing about a qualitative elevation.
Most people couldn’t see the flow of the law as clearly as Leonard Churchill, but they still felt the surge of proud excitement.
It was as if their united effort had coalesced into a giant Sky-reaching Tower. The increasingly high pinnacle had already touched the ultimate secrets of the law. This allowed everyone to utilize this tower to find a stable way to the divine.
Leonard Churchill continued walking up the steps.
The solemn High Priest Tracy Garcia had been waiting for quite some time.
A tray held by the court lady beside her contained the [Thorn Crown] symbolizing kingship.
Tracy Garcia chanted the blessing: "Great King JOKER, under the witness of the gods of the Card Master Civilization, beneath the watchful spirits of the ancestors, within the prayers of billions of subjects... You have taken up the heavy burden of the Empire, and you bear the expectations of billions of subjects... You are benevolent, just, kind, merciful... Your name will spread to every corner of the world... May you possess the wisdom of omniscient vision, transcendental omnipotence, leading us across the unknown darkness, welcoming the light of dawn... Your honorable name forever inscribed in the annals of history, as a symbol of light and hope... Establishing a great new Taren Empire, bringing miracles to the world..."
The blessing was not merely a formality.
But a very important part of the ceremony.
It could be understood as a blessing wish to the Plane Origin.
What was spoken, was a halo bestowed upon the Emperor.
Leonard Churchill distinctly perceived that as Tracy Garcia recited the blessing, waves of mysterious blessing power bestowed upon him.
He was acknowledged by the Plane Origin.
The Royal Destiny on him bloomed like the Great Sun, making it increasingly unbearable for anyone to look directly.
After reciting the blessing, Tracy Garcia gravely picked up the crown from the tray with both hands.
Leonard Churchill gently bowed with his chest, feeling an indescribable pressure placed upon his head.
It was the supreme kingship and majesty, as well as the heavy responsibility and fate...
At the moment the crown was placed on his head, Leonard Churchill’s eyes shimmered with brilliance, his vision of the law of kingship clearer than ever!
In that instant, under the blessing of that mysterious power, he saw the world through the eyes of God.
