From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 118 The state tacitly approved, but God opposed!
"Your Excellency, the port is closed, but there are still ships unable to leave the sea!"

Someone close to Santis brought the latest news.

"Let them get ashore on their own, and quickly. Everyone needs to evacuate; we can't control the rest!" Santis said. After all, they weren't a completely responsible government; they were already fulfilling their responsibilities by doing this much.

Now, we can even see the shadow of tsunamis. People who have experienced many disasters know what they are doing.

Everyone here is very experienced, and that experience helps them save their lives.

"Sir, there is one more question!" the visitor continued. "Many tourists have left the beach, but many locals are still stranded there."

Upon hearing this, Santis turned his head and indeed saw the situation.

On the distant beach, only about half of the people had left; many more remained, refusing to leave, even as police tried to persuade them.

"What's going on with the beach? Didn't I tell you to close the beach and expel the tourists?" Santis asked angrily upon seeing this.

“Mr. Governor, it’s not that we don’t want to, but the organizations, hotels, and tourists on those beaches simply won’t cooperate!” The subordinate looked aggrieved. “We’ve already told them a crisis is coming, but they won’t believe us!”

Jose said coldly from the side, "With your government's credibility, it's already a miracle if even half the people believe you!"

He spoke very bluntly, but Santis did not refute him because it was the truth!
“Then we can only hope they leave on their own!” Santis said. “We’ve told them everything, and if they insist on staying, I think nature will show them the consequences!”

"Let our personnel leave. The tsunami could be huge. Try to move towards the center of the city!"

He didn't even think there was anything wrong with what he was doing; instead, he said these words with great confidence.

Anyway, the rich people in the city have already moved away. Whether these tourists and poor people leave or not is their own business.

They will leave when the tsunami is about to hit!
If they don't leave, then there's no need for them to leave!
“Cardinal Angus, shall we leave here together? This tsunami looks far away, but it will arrive here in no more than an hour!” Santis said to Angus. His recent experience had already shown him that the cardinal in front of him was a powerful figure.
Angus shook his head, looking at the people still playing on the beach, at those still questioning government officials, and a wave of pity washed over him.

The fundamental reason why these people don't trust the country is simply because the country is not worthy of their trust.
Is it right for Santis to decisively abandon them for this reason?
“I have to save them. There are at least tens of thousands of people on this beach. If we leave, they’re all going to die!” he said, taking out his phone and making a call.

"Notify the Cathedral of St. Mary that all current clergy, monks, and nuns come to the seaside!" Angus took a deep breath and issued this order!
On the phone, the man answered without hesitation, "Your will, Your Excellency!"

“Cardinal Angus, the tsunami is coming soon! If they come here, they won't have time to go back! They'll die!” Hearing this, Santis shouted, looking at the cardinal before him, “You can try going to the back; you don't have to stay here…”

He dared not imagine the international backlash that would ensue if a cardinal died here!
“It’s too late to go to the back, and I wasn’t planning on going there!” Angus said very calmly. “The Lord’s will is to protect this world! So as His believers and servants, we must be ready to sacrifice ourselves at any time!”

"This is the Kingdom of the Lord's Faith, and we will guard it and not allow anyone to intrude!"

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The words of the Gospel of John came from his mouth, expressing his will to save!
Upon hearing this, Santis fell silent for a moment. He then bowed solemnly to Angus, saying, "Cardinal Angus, on behalf of the Florida government and all Floridaers, I extend my highest respect to you!"

Whether you call it a futile attempt or overestimating one's abilities, the fact that this cardinal was willing to try something like this in the port signifies an incredibly noble spirit and an unwavering faith!
Then Santis left with his men; he certainly wasn't going to stay there and perish with those ungrateful people.

Only Angus remained, gazing at the distant waves with a determined look in his eyes, as he walked towards the beach.

He wanted to persuade those people; even if he could persuade just one more person to leave, it would be better than them all dying here!
Jesus was able to feed tens of thousands of refugees, and Moses was able to lead the refugees out of Egypt. Why couldn't a priest favored by God save these believers from danger?

This has always been his belief, a belief that has never changed from beginning to end and has not wavered even as he has grown older!
……

"Yes, Your Excellency Cardinal, we're coming right away!" Upon receiving the call, the members of the Vatican's Inquisition in the church agreed without any hesitation!

It was impossible not to agree. These people, chosen by Mario to be judged by the Inquisition for the future structure of the Papacy, were all devout believers, and all of them were of impeccable character!

They are the most outstanding people, with the highest beliefs. Their will is unwavering, and they will certainly obey such orders unconditionally!
Their strong faith led them to endlessly revere Angus, the chosen one, and naturally they would unconditionally obey his commands.

"Now all the clergy, come with us to the seaside!" a bishop of the Inquisition shouted. "The rest of the sinners, celebrate your atonement mass here. Don't try to escape; the Lord's eyes will be on every one of you!"

These sinners showed no intention of fleeing. They knew it was real; just moments ago, these members of the Inquisition had indeed revealed beams of white holy light—they were the most basic Vinaya practitioners, and their strong faith allowed them to receive a share of power from the Vatican's system of wills.

In this country full of believers, such a force alone was enough to command the worship of many. The group emerged from the church, hurriedly got into their car, and headed towards the sea.

Outside the church, the once clear blue sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds.

The rain poured down, falling on everyone, including a naked man on the street.

There was a clear cut on his forehead, suggesting that he had kowtowed many times before he died.

The fact that two stone daggers were embedded in his chest, leaving only the hilts, seemed to confirm the cause of his death.

Large raindrops fell on him, quickly washing away his blood, but the rain showed no sign of stopping; it continued to intensify, flooding the area at an even faster pace.

A car drove past him, and no one noticed his presence because his body was almost completely covered by the rain.

The heavy rain that should have come before the tsunami is finally roaring down!
The torrential rain added to the apocalyptic atmosphere of the city, especially as the time drew nearer and the towering waves in the distance became increasingly visible.

For example, on the beach, even those who didn't trust the police at all are now scrambling to run away.

"Holy crap! The police just came and said a tsunami was coming, and I said with the sun shining so brightly, there was no way there could be a tsunami. Then suddenly it started raining. Isn't that a slap in the face?"

"That's right, that's right. With such heavy rain, why don't we wait until it stops before we leave?"

Under a parasol, a few people chatted and talked casually while watching the heavy rain.

"Could there really be a tsunami? They're police officers; they might have other information," someone said worriedly.

"What police tsunami? None of the officials in our country are any good. Most of them just want to seize the beaches without paying the price, so they made up this bullshit excuse!"

The speaker had an exceptionally thorough understanding of the American government, which drew nods of agreement from those around him.

Indeed, foreigners say they don't understand vaccines, but they know them all too well. However, they know even better what the official bodies that distribute vaccines are all about.

The conflict between the people and the government has always been an open secret in this country.

Just as they were still discussing something, someone suddenly squinted and looked at the sea. "What's that? My God, what am I seeing?"

Upon hearing this person's words, everyone present turned around and stared wide-eyed.

Amidst the torrential rain, a black monster emerged from the sea, its imposing presence filling everyone's vision.

Behind it, a curtain of water shot into the sky, which, reflected in the heavy rain, looked more like the prelude to the apocalypse!

"My God! What the police said was true, there really is a tsunami and apocalyptic monsters!" Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't move, and felt a wave of regret.

What were they arguing about? Why didn't they just leave quietly?
Now that the tsunami is already on their faces, will they still have time to escape?
Despair is the only expression on the faces of these people on the beach now. There is only one person who is different, and that is Angus!

He stood on the beach, looking at the crowd and the approaching waves, his eyes resolute!

During this period, he persuaded many people to leave, but he still couldn't get more people to leave. He could only see the police and government personnel leaving one after another.

Angus knew that the rest of the people were abandoned; those who couldn't make it in time would be abandoned.

He knew, and the higher-ups knew, that this was the underlying logic of the country, but he didn't think it was right.

So he began to pray, and the cross on his chest answered his prayers, and a light of hope appeared on Angus's face!

"The state tacitly approves, but God opposes!"
