A few seconds ago, everyone had just been going through their day when suddenly a screen flashed across their retinas—specifically for those who were believers of the Holy Church.
The content of the message was:
[The individual Gabriel Reyes is now considered an enemy of the Holy Church.]
[Crime: Disrespect to the Church and attacking its members.]
Just below the message was an image of Gabriel.
The people were stunned for several minutes. They exchanged glances. From the shocked expressions on others' faces, it was easy to tell they had received the exact same message.
In the Realm of Ascendency, once you became a member of any faction, messages and information could be freely passed among one another by the head or higher-ups in the faction, requiring only the consent of some key members.
Such messages weren't frequent, as there were limits to how many could be sent in a day.
