Many people thought, "Is the Holy Emperor crazy?" How dare you say that?
In Tokyo, even if you claim to be a descendant of the sun god, no one will be offended. Are you saying that the cursed child is the savior?
Kicked in the brain by a donkey?
The Holy Emperor's face flushed. Without the children's fighting power, the existing human population in the world would be reduced by at least half - but saying that the children were saviors was actually an exaggeration.
It is true that without the Cursed Children, the human population would shrink by half, but that does not mean that the Cursed Children are so important that they can account for half of humanity's combat power, nor does it mean that the Cursed Children are indispensable.
If it is really important to the point of being indispensable - taking humans as an example, humans will die immediately regardless of whether they lack the left half or the right half of the body.
You tell Africa, Latin America and other places where the military industry is underdeveloped that the cursed son is the savior, and that is indeed true.
But in more areas, such as Tokyo, the Cursed Child is defending the country and maintaining law and order, but to say that the Cursed Child is the savior is actually a joke.
The Holy Emperor took a deep breath and said quietly, "I can understand that you are tired of children after losing your loved ones, but children should not be treated like this."
"It is the children who are fighting against the gastrulae and protecting your safety."
"The children sacrificed their lives, but all they got was cold eyes and discrimination."
The Holy Emperor pointed at the Scorpio on the screen and sighed, "This is the punishment given to Tokyo by the gods."
"Everyone, there is nothing else to do now except to reflect on your own actions and pray for the forgiveness of the gods."
The Holy Emperor shuddered. Saying such words in a serious manner was actually a test of her inner self. She could already imagine what everyone outside thought of her.
But it doesn’t matter—the divine punishment that is coming soon is real.
So, what she said was true.
Therefore, it is also true that the Cursed Son is the Savior.
Is there anything that can better enhance the status of the Cursed Children than this?
Chapter 42 Giant
In modern society, how many people believe in gods?
almost none.
It's the 21st century now, and there are still people playing God game?
Some people believe in cause and effect, reincarnation, heaven and hell, gods and demons, but almost no one believes that God will appear in reality.
Those sects that cannot keep up with the times have long been eliminated in the long river of history.
In a world without gods, any religious sect that survives must adhere to one idea - sincerity is the key to success.
There is no way to verify.
Any sect that dared to say, "If you offer me 5,000 gold coins, my gods will immediately show me a miracle" was beaten to death.
Be it praying for rain, salvation, or indulgences, among the religious sects that have been passed down, no one dares to be serious about it or to put a price on it.
In a world without demons, there is really no one who can control the wind and rain, no six realms of reincarnation, and no heaven or hell.
The Pope said that by buying an indulgence you can wash away your sins and go to heaven. You go to the Pope to buy an indulgence and tell him not to wait until after you die, but to take you to heaven for a seven-day tour right now... The Pope promises to let you know how many divisions he has.
There was a severe drought, and the emperor went to ask monks to pray for rain, but no one could guarantee that it would rain. They would only say, "I can pray for rain, but XXXX."
The subsequent conditions are either that the people are not sincere, or someone has offended the gods, or there is a monster there. In short, there are all kinds of strange explanations, and there is no way to verify them.
Therefore, Tokyo people are very messy.
Now you're telling me this? The emergence of the gastrula was a punishment from God, caused by the persecution of the cursed children by the people of Tokyo? The only way to be saved is to repent to God?
Isn’t this nonsense!
If we could repel the gastrula, then ten years ago, when the human population exceeded seven billion, could we still be forced by the gastrula to the point where only big cities could barely survive?
It is not uncommon to have some new sects, but facing the stage five protoceratops, they did not fight back or escape, but relied on prayer. This really opened the eyes of the people of Tokyo.
Too many Tokyo residents who were watching the live broadcast started cursing.
But there are also a few people who are skeptical.
Because there is indeed something unusual in Tokyo - the simulated sun is still hanging in the sky.
If the Holy Emperor changed his statement and said that the sun in the sky was the descent of Amaterasu, the number of people in Tokyo who believed it might increase from less than 10% to 30%.
But if it's just the sun hanging there, that's the limit.
After all, Tokyo is a city with a high average educational level. The higher the educational level, the broader the knowledge. Perhaps highly educated people believe in the existence of gods and Buddhas, but if they believe that gods and Buddhas will appear in reality, then it can only be said that the educational level is in vain.
Compared with the fact that there has been no example of gods and Buddhas descending in thousands of years of history, the possibility of some strange phenomenon occurring accidentally is much higher.
The Holy Emperor naturally knew this, but she didn't care.
A giant like a mountain has appeared on the horizon.
The cracked skin was covered with tumor-like bumps, and eight sickle-like tentacles extended from the neck and other parts of the body. It looked like an evil god, slowly approaching Tokyo.
But 'slowly' is only measured in units of the giant's own size.
Four hundred meters high.
Judging from the size alone, most Ultramen seem dwarfed in front of Stage Five. Combined with the gastrula's own recovery ability, it can render 99% of modern weapons ineffective, and even tactical nuclear weapons are powerless.
It's not that humans didn't use nuclear weapons in the early days of the Gastroenteritis War, but no one in Stage Five died from them.
The huge size of Phase Five and its extremely high recovery ability make nuclear radiation and shock waves completely ineffective. Except for the core area of the explosion, the aftermath of nuclear weapons that can kill humans are meaningless to Phase Five.
Even for lower-level protostomes, nuclear radiation actually promotes the fusion of gene sequences within the protostomes.
Nuclear radiation can damage the human body and induce various diseases, but protostomes have no internal balance. The more advanced the protostomes, the more bizarre their forms. They have no reasonable biological form and can survive entirely by relying on their own extraordinary recovery ability.
Up to Phase 4, it is still only a threat to a few areas, and the Tokyo District has the ability to deal with Phase 4.
But Stage Fives were the enemy of humanity, and until ten years after the Enterostreatus War, only two Stage Fives had been conquered.
Black Bullet is not a proper doomsday world. The protostomes have not been able to exterminate humans in the past ten years, and their own evolution has stagnated, with humans being the dominant ones - however, the major premise is that Stage Five is not active.
Humans are fully aware of all the information and attack methods of Stage Five, but are still helpless against it.
The only two people who killed stage five were the first and second ranked police officers and their partners, but that was after countless computer calculations, relying on the cursed child's erosion rate exceeding the limit but not alienated, and the characteristics of evolving once as the core of the operation.
As the children grow up, the task of killing Stage Five will inevitably be handed over to the Cursed Child, but that is not now.
When the first killing phase five began, countless people around the world were excited. The time for humanity to counterattack had come. If there was a first kill, there would be a second.
But the follow-up poured cold water on everyone, saying that it was just an isolated case.
The hard power of the Cursed Children and the Police is far inferior to that of Stage Five.
If it weren't for the Cursed Child's characteristics that naturally counter Stage Five, coupled with high-tech weapons and extremely detailed combat methods, there would be no way he could defeat Stage Five.
Even though two Stage Fives have been knocked down, the remaining Stage Fives are still a nightmare for humanity.
A cursed child without the right traits would be unable to survive Stage Five.
Now, the nightmare is coming to Tokyo.
Countless people turned pale instantly after just one glance at that 400-meter-tall body.
In Africa and the Middle East, horrific rumors that cities were breached by Stage Five and other protostomes entered the cities and devoured all humans flooded into the minds of countless people.
In Tokyo, too many people's relatives and friends died ten years ago.
On this day, the people protected by the monolith recalled the fear of being dominated by the gastrula and the humiliation of having to hide behind the monolith to survive.
Now, facing stage five, it is impossible to even survive.
Fear, despair, terror, helplessness, sighs... For a moment, all kinds of life were displayed in Tokyo.
Knowing that Phase Five was coming to Tokyo, countless Tokyo residents went crazy.
Witnessing Phase Five coming to Tokyo, countless people became even crazier.
To destroy something beforehand, you must first make it crazy.
No one knows whether the Self-Defense Forces have the courage to face Phase Five, but they not only have the courage to shoot the rioters, but they are also very brave.
But this time, the chaos not only did not subside, but intensified.
Everyone knows the choice: to die at the hands of the Self-Defense Forces or to die at the hands of the possible coming Stage Five.
But stage five lies ahead, and that is another matter.
I'm going to die anyway, how can I bear this injustice? You think you're awesome just because you have a gun? If you have the guts, just shoot me to death.
Countless unarmed people began to attack the Self-Defense Forces.
Similarly, more and more people began to kneel down.
For thousands of years, there has been no evidence that gods appear in reality.
However, over the past thousands of years, there have been too many people who are highly educated but believe in gods.
Even if your intuition tells you that gods cannot appear, in the face of a life-and-death crisis, all intuition and academic qualifications are meaningless.
...But what if?
Chapter 43: Transformation
Su Qing sensed the movements inside the Tokyo district.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that these people who were not living a good life could be so cruel to their own people.
Tendo Kikunosuke is truly a talented person.
