Same expression, same gesture, same tone. As if the green tanomobi on the podium was the manifestation of MF herself.
MF reluctantly smirked. Foel's acting capability surpassed her expectations and even then, it was borderline scary and prideful when she spectated the opening speech from afar.
It wasn't a coincidence either, Foel could achieve this level of imitation because of her trust and affection to her soul partner.
"To the one and every each of you who held onto their scrutinizing valor, there is one special word hereby declared by the Director of this new Citadel, and also from me as the Vice Director—" Foel closed her eyes as she threw a big wide gaping smile. "Congratulations! All of you are now less of a scum and statistically a lesser pain in the ass to be dealt with!"
The words evoked anger upon numerous standing audiences within the huge field. They could only grit their teeth as the cannon of the ground wyvern was pointing in their direction from the back. Most of the massive fools have already been taken by now, lessening the amount of indecisive individuals who couldn't take the brunt.
At the top of the tall and dense wall, Asir told his thoughts to the Ouroboros beside him.
"Soul Supreme, aren't living beings striving to be acknowledged and now downplayed with? All I could see are many heathens, lost kind, and unbelievers trying to find why they are caged within a group of higher animals instead of being the hunter."
"You see, they are the same as rabbits." MF played with a lump of dark seed she created, rolling them left and right with her forefinger. "just a little bit more troublesome to be handled. An extreme intent is needed for their instinct to kick in, whether it was a killing or caring one.
"When they know that their emotion and feeling are worthless, that is the point where they will strive to make themselves more than ordinary just to scrap away their deep uncertainty."
"Why would you need them when the Domeniul Ceresc could provide you more followers and resources?" Asir pondered.
"Simple." MF chuckled. "It's to rub those heinous fools on the other side and prove them that they are less than capable in creating their preferred society. It's also for us to become the middle force of Neamh. Mortals, Calamities, Angels, and spirits alike."
As for the citizens, they didn't realize that even though Ouroboros was the Director, Foel was their true master.
In fact, her presence alone was able to make everyone focus on her and her alone. This of course had something to do with her plethora of symbols-pills that focused on leadership and charisma.
And one of them was meant to instill uncomfortable fear.
"Everyone has a different experience within this three days trial, some of you might want to kill me, some want to kill themselves." Foel clasped both of her hands before placing them on the edge of the podium. "But thanks to it, you all learned to band together and endeavor, clasp your hands together.
"Your ancestors developed language, letters, an incredible advantage so that you all could get your plans together. Take that three days etched into your very being, no animal or mystical beast could achieve what you all have gone through without leaving that single damned line or even bruised themselves in conflict in the time where the heart sank into the deep.
"If one couldn't stand the test of time, then what are a group of headless horses against the Neamh's reckless climate and its angry dweller?
"The day breaks and the light changes, illuminating newer human faces as fights rage. The mortals of Neamh are facing the might of horrendous power who would write the history books even if it took a knife's blade to find the right page… They only see the fame and the millions, not the strength and resilience.
"Hence if all of you were thinking that we aim at the grotesque sadistic influence to sink those who could sail at this dying sea of martyrs, then please leave in an instant, we won't even retrieve the corpse of a brainless maggots if they were stumbling upon Calamities and the likes.
"I humbly give all of you five minutes, leave or stay, that is not a turnabout that won't seal your fate to be marked in the sea of history."
The line of feracious Yelpers sprawled to make a way for those who couldn't read between the lines of the speech. MF calculated that there would be around 500 of them leaving and that was fine, their home got wrecked, their loved one was murdered, and if leaving this damned place after Foel's strong presence.
Surprisingly, only 57 of them left, leaving 1,400 people to stay in the hope of finding the true purpose of Foel's words.
"That cheeky wife of mine, I knew it! That amount of symbols pills is cheating!" MF ranted playfully from above.
Five minutes passed, thunder had struck the ground behind the stage as Abe appeared from the churning smoke, looking more titanic than ever.
At the same time, a golden aura with ethereal plates floated in the surroundings of Foel. The aura emitted by the divine light soothed and inspired everyone who sees it.
One of the divine artifacts, the 'Sword Of Judgement'. It was kept within Foel's soul all the time. As of now, only she knows what it does to her and everyone.
One of the many powers that was held by the sword was 'Rewarding'. The same as encouraging, Foel could manipulatively force a dopamine level to all kinds of mortals to continue and gain satisfaction from their decision.
This had also been talked about before the speech. MF suggested that she use it after most of the mortals made their choices.
The booming voice could be heard again as Foel continued her speech.
"The sun's coming and we're watching it rise as a new era is here, it's as solid as iron. Reformation through flame, and after the cremation is a new age." Foel ended her serious speech with a smile. "Time's quill is quick to spill its ink onto a new page.
"I applaud everyone here who has the right mind to feel rewarded for their effort.. Hence, we have prepared a heavenly banquet for each and every one of you."
