"A total of … fourteen lumps of snow. Does this mean that fourteen qualified candidates have been chosen?
How can there be so many? "
"This situation is not good. Lucia is the biggest winner."
Lucia's upper echelons were also confused as they looked at the flying snow.
"I understand now!"
One of the upper echelons slapped his thigh. "The Ice Goddess has only chosen fourteen people. She might need to go through a selection process."
"No, you've only seen the first level. There's still a second level of understanding.
Why can't the Ice Goddess pass on her ability to a dozen people? "
"I think …"
The group of people discussed and quickly reached the fifth level of understanding.
After the snowballs flew towards the chosen candidates, they first surrounded them in ice and snow. Then, they condensed into a base of ice and snow. Although it was only a meter tall platform, it was much taller than the people around it. It was very eye-catching.
A spy who was closer to the base hurriedly took pictures and sent them back to the country. Regardless of whether they could make any breakthroughs or not, they would at least get a sum of money. It would also be recorded in the book of merits.
"Boom."
The Ice Goddess did not say a word. After seeing the snowballs fall, cracks appeared on her huge body. If her huge body were to shatter into ice cones and fall to the ground, the casualties would be unimaginable.
"Whoosh!"
But the Ice Goddess seemed to know the consequences of directly shattering. In the howling wind, her ice crystal body was cut into a large number of snowflakes.
Although the snowflakes in the sky were enough to make people panic, under the howling wind, they fell in every district of the City of a Thousand Tops. It would not cause any disasters.
As the snow and wind dispersed, the Ice Goddess seemed to have never appeared. The blue and white sky was extremely clean.
But looking at the fourteen people who were chosen, everyone's breathing became heavier.
From now on, these people were all important figures!
Evgeny felt the hardness of the ice base under his feet. His eyelids that were almost frozen opened slowly. A blazing flame burned in his chest.
"I've … been chosen."
His body swayed. The flame in his chest surged to his whole body and rushed into his brain. Then, he could no longer bear it and fell to the side.
Yevgeny's body was already very weak after the accumulation of essence, energy, and spirit to the extreme. After a moment of relaxation, his entire body was drained of energy.
Mizuno clicked his tongue softly in his heart as he felt a reserve tool fall. Unfortunately, due to the dignity of a god, he could not kick this little fellow out again.
"Ask the fourteen people to leave. Then, get the specialists and medicine from the various hospitals to distribute to the people on the scene."
The minister patted the snow off his clothes and took a deep breath. "There are so many people here. There should be a lot of people who will catch a cold or a fever later."
Although the series of selection methods planned by the government were not put to use, the Snow Goddess's intervention was more effective. No matter which level was considered, this incident was undeniably good news for Lucia.
Seeing the government send people to take away the 14 people, the remaining people who were not selected revealed deep unwillingness in their eyes.
Who would have thought that the selection would be so simple?
Before the government officials could even speak, the Snow Goddess had suddenly appeared to conduct a baffling test. If he had persisted a little longer, things might have been different!
Many people were roaring in their hearts. The opportunity was right in front of them, but it had slipped away.
However, no matter how angry they were, the Snow Goddess was transcendent. She would definitely not change her mind just because of the unwillingness of a few mortals.
This selection, which was broadcast live around the world, came and went very suddenly. But even after the government of the City of Thousand Tops cleared the snow, the scene of the god's arrival could not be erased from the minds of the people who had experienced it.
Being looked down at by a terrifying existence in mid-air, worship and fear mixed together.
Snow was still fluttering in the City of Thousand Tops. Under this strange snowflake, everyone had different thoughts.
"Heresy, heresy."
In an ancient Eastern Orthodox Church in the City of Thousand Tops, the bishop looked at the shock and longing of the people.
Some people even bowed their heads to the sky.
Bowing what, bowing what, bowing what.
The gods of the heresy, no, the monsters of the heresy had already disappeared. Could they still be regarded as the lambs of God?
The old bishop was so angry that he glared at them. He wanted to capture them one by one, throw them into the pot, and baptize them all over again.
How could these devout people of God show thoughts of apostasy so quickly?
It was really a great misfortune for the Eastern Orthodox Church. They had not yet recovered from the attack of the Red Empire in the last century. Only one-fifth of the new century had begun, and now they encountered the gods of the heresy. Did the heavens want the Eastern Orthodox Church to become weaker and weaker?
Misfortune!
He did not dare to have any thoughts of complaining about the almighty Holy Lord. Hadn't the Holy Lord already shown his divinity in the Island nation?
Although Lucia had not yet received the Holy Lord's blessing, how could mortals guess the plans of the omnipotent Holy Lord?
However, the old bishop's eyes turned, and he had another idea.
Why not just make this Snow Goddess join the Eastern Orthodox Church and use all kinds of tricks to make her a part of the Eastern Orthodox Church?
God had sent this person to the world, and anyone who did not believe in the Holy Lord would be punished.
No matter how terrifying her abilities were, they were still within the boundaries of the Eastern Orthodox Church. They were all colleagues working under the same system.
Just like how the Cross Church included Judaism, and the Star Moon Church included part of the Cross Church's mythology, the old bishop could learn from them and assimilate the Snow Goddess into the Eastern Orthodox Church. This way, he might even be able to leave a good name for generations to come.
This would also make the people more devout in the Orthodox Church. The moment this idea popped up in his mind, it grew uncontrollably.
The plan worked!
This could really be done, but what name should he arrange for the Snow Goddess?
The name Goddess could not be used anymore. It was too disgraceful. Why not just arrange for XX Angel?
He calculated in his mind and immediately came up with many disgraceful plans. After all, he was the person with the most power in the church. It was not up to him to decide what to say. However, if he made such an arrangement, he would definitely become the target of public criticism.
Why would the Eastern Orthodox Church need to explain their actions to others?
This was a serious matter. He had to find the Chief Patriarch and discuss it with the other bishops.
As for the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople?
He was just a lackey of the Europa Alliance.
"Bishop, Bishop."
The old bishop only came back to his senses after being called by the priest next to him.
Holding the scepter, his eyes shone brightly. The Eastern Orthodox Church was saved!
"Prepare some cold medicine and distribute it to the believers in the name of the church. Let them feel the warmth of the Holy Lord."
After all, modern medicine was produced with the tacit approval of the Holy Lord!
It was also the Holy Lord's credit that the cold was cured.
While dealing with the notes sent by the various countries, the Lucian government hurriedly protected the fourteen precious candidates.
After showing off its majestic body, the ice core fell back into the car.
The Lucian government was a little confused about the sudden situation, but it seemed to be a good thing for the country and the people.
The intelligence of the fourteen candidates was quickly gathered at the central organization. Although Lucia's bureaucratic system was not very efficient, it did not have a large population. The basic household registration system was still relatively efficient.
However, looking at the stack of intelligence, the big shots raised their eyebrows when they saw the information of three of the candidates.
"This little girl … is a spy?"
"After repeated confirmations, her father is suspected to be a spy who instigated a rebellion. He works in the police organization of the City of a Thousand Tops … I think we can remove the suspicion and confirm it."
The police organization right under their noses had instigated a spy. This was not a big deal. Even the former Red Empire would inevitably have a lot of traitors. However, this spy was chosen by the Snow Goddess, and it was a little troublesome.
"Should we arrest him directly and strip him of his qualifications?"
"That's too radical. If we do that, we might anger the Snow Goddess."
"Hmph, are we going to watch the traitor get away with it?"
After a fierce argument, these big shots decided to stay put and pretend that they did not know the truth behind this chosen one. Of course, they would not let him be chosen by the Snow Goddess.
"The other one, Yevgeny … This is obviously a fake name. He's a homeless child in Leningrad Station. He disguised himself as a man and wandered around for four years.
His father is an alcoholic musician. Because of domestic violence … "
This chosen one was also a problem. Although there were scenes of adopting pitiful orphans in movies and TV dramas, Yevgeny's situation was obviously special.
However, Yevgeny's situation was obviously special. He already had a relatively stable worldview in his teens. Coupled with the fact that he had experienced so much of the dark side of society, the probability of him turning into an anti-social terrorist was much higher than that of a suicide soldier.
After being nurtured into a powerful Extraordinaire, it would then attack the City of a Thousand Tops on a whim … This was not impossible. After all, just over twenty years ago, the Map Head had dealt a critical blow to the Red Empire while the entire world was astonished.
"It's still better than being a spy. However, this Yevgeny needs to be nurtured carefully. Maybe the Snow Goddess has taken a fancy to his character that was tempered through hardship."
"Right, what's her original name?"
"Yevgeny."
"… That's really simple."
The last person's information made people hold their heads, not knowing what to say. The Minister of Health had to read it several times to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his head or eyes.
"Alexei, male. Disguised as a woman to enter the selection?
What are the selectors doing?
Are they all a bunch of good-for-nothings?! "
"Could it be that the Snow Goddess did not see through his gender?"
"Impossible. She is a god. She cannot be judged by us mortals. We misunderstood the Goddess. She does not care if the person is male or female!"
