At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 171 The Great Flood Arrives, and the Good Survivors
"Fuse Midori!" Akimaro Tsurugi shouted as he saw the people around him rushing towards them like wild beasts, his inner lining instantly soaked with cold sweat.

In order to fight Gastrea, he joined the Tendo family dojo to learn 'Tendo swordsmanship' and 'Tendo spear techniques'. However, he felt that these were not suitable for him, so he secretly changed the techniques to fist techniques. Because of this, he was expelled from the Tendo family dojo for disgracing the family.

With his own fist techniques alone, he was able to fight against a Gastrea of ​​Regeneration Level 3, and with the help of Busch, he was able to fight against several Gastrea of ​​Regeneration Level 3.

Even so, he couldn't handle such a large crowd.

These people have gone mad and will die in five days, so their rationality has completely collapsed and they have turned into beasts.

“Brother Akima!” Fuse Midori’s eyes instantly turned red, and her fingertips stretched out like cat claws. At the same time, the wide witch’s hat on her head fell down, revealing a pair of fluffy cat ears. She was the cursed child of the ‘cat gene’. Because the gene was more active, she grew cat ears and a tail.

This is why she was treated differently from the other cursed children; before meeting Akimaro Sagisawa, no one was willing to make her their partner.

"You chosen ones, die!" A blond man with tattoos went berserk, grabbing a steel pipe and charging at Akimasa Nagasawa, roaring as he smashed the pipe toward Nagasawa's head.

Tsuzawa Akira's face was grim. He was completely surrounded by the crowd and had nowhere to escape. Now he regretted not staying at home instead of running out!
And the number of people selected is far too small.

He doesn't consider himself a good person, just an ordinary person. Are there so few ordinary people like him? So many people have killed innocent people?
He always thought the world was crazy, but he never imagined it would be crazier than he could have imagined.

With so few chosen, they naturally become the enemies of the majority who were not chosen.

"Fuse Midori, you just need to take care of yourself! Don't worry about me!" Seeing that Fuse Midori was about to make a move, Tsuzawa Akima quickly said, and then rushed towards the crowd. Taking the initiative was better than being on the defensive.

"Dragon Tail - White Tiger!"

Akimaru Sawa rushed towards the blond delinquent who was charging at him at a speed beyond that of an ordinary person. His muscles bulged like rubber bands, his body leaned back, and his center of gravity shifted to his hands. His left foot kicked towards the blond delinquent's chin like a cannonball.

boom! ! !
The blond-haired man's head exploded like a watermelon, the smell of rust and the bursting red liquid shooting in all directions.

Although the humans in this world do not possess extraordinary powers beyond reason, their mastery of strength techniques and physical training and development still enable them to fight against a hundred men and deliver a punch with the force of a ton.

This level is equivalent to an extraordinary being who has awakened 'source potential'.

The red liquid splattered onto the crowd rushing towards them, but they didn't regain their senses because of this scene. After all, living in the apocalypse, they had seen dead people more or less.

Fuse Tsui constantly dodged the attacks of the onrushing crowd. Ordinary people without systematic combat training posed no threat to her. She had never killed anyone, so she dared not and was unwilling to kill. When she encountered a 'facilitator' who was her match while doing bounty missions, she would only destroy the other party's weapons.

“Brother Akima…” Fuse Midori was stunned when she saw Akima Shoji kill someone. It was the first time she had ever seen Akima Shoji kill someone so decisively.

"Don't focus on me! They've lost their minds. They're beasts now. Only when beasts know I'm not their prey will they be afraid!" Shout Akimaru Tsuzawa dodged a fat middle-aged man who lunged at him, his arms and hands bulging with veins.

"Cihua Fantian!"

Akira Tsurugi used both hands to strike the oncoming person repeatedly at a speed that created afterimages.

Crack! Thud! Thud—those hit by his fist either had their heads smashed, their chests caved in, or their spines broken.

In just over ten seconds, more than fifty people had fallen around him, their fates unknown. The red liquid had stained the ground around him, and as the torrential rain poured down, the red liquid flowed outwards.

Shojiro Tsuzawa stood atop a pile of corpses as tall as a person, gritting his teeth as he stared at the crowd that had stopped and was now retreating. Words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

"Monster! Monster!" a bald man cried out in terror as he scrambled to his feet.

"Come on up if you want to die." Wherever Akira Tsuzawa looked, the crowd took two steps back.

"Monsters! Those chosen are all monsters! They're not human at all!"

"Monster! Die!" A policeman whose uniform buttons had popped open due to his obesity pulled out a gun and kept firing at Akira Nagasawa.

boom! boom! boom!
Akimaro Tsubasa's expression changed. He couldn't dodge in time, but instinctively avoided a vital spot. The bullet was aimed at his shoulder.

Just when he thought he was about to be shot, the green light arrow in his body emitted light, and a layer of light film appeared on his body.

The bullet stopped the instant it hit the light membrane; he didn't even feel any kinetic energy from it.

Jingle ~

The bullet rolled on the ground with a crisp metallic sound.

"Monster! Monster!" The policeman who fired the shot had his fat face contorted into a ferocious grimace, his magazine empty, and his body trembling with bulging fat.

"Angel's protection? Does it automatically protect the chosen one when they are harmed?" Akimaro Tsubasa looked up at the emerald green 'Noah's Ark' in the sky.

How could we not protect those humans chosen by God to go to the new century?

The green arrow had just told him that as long as he silently recited "board the ship," the "Noah's Ark" would guide him aboard.

“Fuse Midori, you also received the message from the angel, right?” Akimaro Tsubasa looked at Fuse Midori, who had retreated to his side.

At this very moment, despite the torrential rain and the surrounding crowd of people who seemed like wild beasts, as if they were at odds with the world, my heart was so calm.

“Yes, Akima-nii, let’s go together, let’s go to a new world together.” Fuse Midori’s eyes were full of anticipation and longing.

"In the new world, there will be no pain, right? And no discomfort, right?"

"No one will hate each other, right? Everyone will be happy, right?"

"I... I can be a normal person now, right..."

As Akimaru Tsuzawa listened to the childish voice, it seemed as if the expectation in the voice was an unattainable dream for the person who spoke those words. A tremor ran through his heart. He had never heard Midori Fuse say such things before.

All the memories of my life, from birth to the present, kept being released in my mind. Those memories that I didn't remember were fully brought to the surface in the judgment of good and evil.

His deceased parents loved him very much. His childhood was happy and warm, filled with friends, family, and classmates.

But Bush Tsui and the others were abandoned from birth, perhaps even before their umbilical cords were cut, and were thrown into the outer areas. They had nothing and could only survive by passively accepting the kindness of kind people.

The kind-hearted people who help them might also face retaliation from those who hate Gastrea.

He could not have imagined the hardships of survival without experiencing them firsthand.

Even if they are lucky enough to be adopted by IISO, they will be subjected to death-like training from the very beginning, and many of them do not survive until the training is over.

Even if they become 'Initiators' after training, their partners will most likely not treat them well.

“Fuse Midori…this is something that people are born with…” Shoma Nagisawa felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. He smiled and said, “The new world will definitely be the happiest.”

“Let’s go, Akima-nii.” Fuse Midori smiled sweetly and raised her little hand: “Let’s board!”

"Board the ship!" Akimasa Tsuzawa raised his hand high.

As soon as the words were spoken, emerald green bubbles enveloped the two of them, carrying them toward Noah's Ark, boarding the ship to the new world in this fairytale-like way.

"I wonder if Rentaro has boarded the ship yet. With that guy always talking about justice since he was a child, he should be able to get on board." Akimaru Tsubasa looked back at the city streets below that were getting smaller and smaller.

He and Rentaro Satomi were fellow disciples, having met each other at the Tendo family dojo.

One after another, emerald green bubbles carried the chosen people toward Noah's Ark.

The number of bubbles increased, as if balloons were being released during a celebration.

Of Tokyo’s more than three million people, 95% are criminals. The remaining 5%, though a small percentage, still numbers around 150,000.

Most of these people had helped the cursed children in the outer districts; otherwise, so many cursed children would not have been able to survive.

Most of them did not live well because they were ostracized by most people for helping the cursed son.

"Thank you, great God, thank you for choosing me." A woman in a suit knelt in the bubble, her hands clasped together, her expression filled with immense gratitude: "Thank you for letting me go to the new world."

As a mother, she gave birth to a child who was cursed, her husband divorced her, her parents told her to throw the child into the river, and everyone around her ostracized her.

She had no choice but to send the child to the outer district, but that was still her child. Even if he was a cursed child, she was still his mother. So she used all the money she earned to buy food and clothes and send them to the outer district.

Every time she went to take care of her daughter, she had to do it secretly.

At the same time, she saw so many abandoned children and, out of compassion, took them in as well. Later, she met more and more people like her.

Everyone secretly made contact and took care of the children in the outer areas.

Unexpectedly, it was the children who gave her the right to go to the new world.

"Thank you, my deceased father. You taught me to always be kind. Thank you, thank you!" A young man cried as he looked at the shrinking crowd below.

Even though you've passed away, you're still helping me. I'll pray for you in the new world with my sister.

His sister was a cursed child, and his parents were ostracized because of her birth. They were eventually killed by bombs planted in their home by people who hated Gastrea.

He was outside with his sister at the time and thus escaped the disaster.

……

District 1, Tian Tong's house.

"Grandpa, what are you doing! Ah!" A pitiful scream echoed through the Tiantong residence.

"Grandpa, are you crazy?! You're just like everyone else outside, unable to board Noah's Ark! No, don't kill me!"

"You old fool! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how vicious of you! Ah!!!"

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Screams and the sound of guns being pulled rang out continuously.

"Why! Grandfather! You're not crazy, why did you do this?!" A young man screamed as he stumbled and ran, crashing through the locked gate of the Tiantong family's house. One of his arms and his shoulder had been severed, and red liquid splattered continuously.

"Spare me! At least spare me! The world will be destroyed in four days anyway!"

"I've done so much dirty work for the Tiantong family! If you wanted to kill your uncle's whole family, it was me who did it for you!"

Kikunojo Tendo, holding a katana and with an expression like a venomous snake, slowly walked out of the Tendo family's gate.

He is the head of the Tiantong family, and he is the strongest in the family in both swordsmanship and spearmanship. No one in the Tiantong family can rival him.

Tendo and Hikaru screamed hysterically, "Old man! It's the end of the world! It's the end of the world! Even if you don't kill us, we'll all die! Why bother with all this trouble!"

"For the Tendo family bloodline to survive, only Kikunojo is qualified to board Noah's Ark, so everyone in the Tendo family, including you, must die," Tendo Kikunojo said with a ferocious grin on his wrinkled face.

As he spoke, his gaze fell on a man not far away who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, his expression complex, a mixture of relief after revenge, sadness at missing his parents, and a sense of acceptance of himself.

"It's you... Tendo Kisara! How vicious of you! You actually used such dirty methods!" Tendo Kazumitsu clutched his cut shoulder and looked in the direction of Tendo Kikunojo's gaze.

"Did you find out?"

"You damned brat, you vile woman! You and your parents deserve to die!"

"Your parents want to expose the Tiantong family's corruption and betrayal, and you are even more despicable!"

Tendou Kisara crossed his arms and looked over coldly. He laughed at his cousin's hysterical state: "I haven't found out yet, but the clues all point to the Tendou family being the culprit."

"I never expected it was my dear grandfather who gave the order, hehehe..." Tendo Kisara covered his forehead and laughed somewhat hysterically.

"You bastard! You deserve to die a horrible death! How dare a bastard like you be allowed on Noah's Ark?!" Tendo and Hikaru's voices cracked: "God is simply blind!!!"

"My dear grandfather, what are you waiting for?" Tendo Kisara's voice became warmer: "Is it because my cousin is special that you've softened your heart?"

"No, no, no... Grandpa, Grandfather! Don't, don't listen to her! Ah—"

Tendo Kazuhiro urinated in terror, watching helplessly as Tendo Kikunojo's sword pierced his heart without hesitation.

"Old thing..."

"Hmph." Kikunojo Tendo turned the hilt of his sword and shredded Tendo Kazuhiro's heart.

"Hehehe..." Tendo Kazuhiro's eyes were fixed on Tendo Kikunojo, as if he wanted to take revenge after descending to hell. Tendo Kikunojo drew his katana and walked towards Tendo Kisara.

"My dear granddaughter, everyone in the Tiantong family is dead. Are you satisfied now?"

Tendo Kikunojo stared calmly at Tendo Kikunojo without saying a word, but his calm eyes were filled with hatred.

He was the grandfather who killed his own son, her parents. He was the most evil person in the Tiantong family, the culprit behind everything, and the one who deserved to die the most.

"Before I commit suicide, I need to know that you will definitely make your future son bear the surname Tendo, and I swear to all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens." Tendo Kikunojo stared at his granddaughter who hated him to the bone.

"I swear to all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, and to the god who sent down the great flood, that any son I, Tendou Kisara, will have the surname Tendou. If you break this oath, may I go to hell," Tendou Kisara said calmly.

"Alright!" Kikunojo Tendo smiled, squatted down, knelt in front of Kisara Tendo, put down the katana that had turned red, drew a wakizashi from his waist, tore open his clothes, and exposed his abdomen.

"Ha—" Tendo Kikunojo shouted, his eyes bulging with bloodshot eyes, and without hesitation, he gripped the wakizashi and thrust it into the abdomen.

The entire blade of the wakizashi was embedded in his abdomen; the pain made his eyes bulge out and his face turn deathly pale.

To commit seppuku, one must completely cut open the abdomen and sever the internal organs to cause massive bleeding and die quickly, so he shakily slashed at it.

The red liquid splattered onto Tendo Kisara's face, but she remained calm, her eyes never leaving her for a second.

Watching second by second, this viper-like grandfather lost his ability to resist, he slumped helplessly to the ground, his body seemingly folded up.

“Hehe, hehehe... My dear grandfather, I will keep my vow,” said Tendo Kisara.

"However, I will not board Noah's Ark. I will just disappear from the world forever, along with my filthy bloodline, as I am carrying the blood of the Tendo family. Hahahaha—" Tendo Kisara finished speaking and laughed with his head held high.

"You, you...you...hehehe...I won't keep my word..." Upon hearing this, Kikunojo Tendo's body trembled even more violently from the pain, and he uttered weak sounds, as if they were the wrath of a demon.

"You must be very happy, my dear grandfather, hehehe, the Tendou family line is extinct, not a single bloodline can remain, hehehe." Tendou Kisara laughed happily.

"Gulp..." Kikunojo Tendo's eyes, which were already starting to glaze over, were fixed on Kisara Tendo, and blood kept bubbling from his mouth. Now he couldn't even make a sound.

"Why...why did it turn out like this..." A trembling, hoarse voice appeared, and a hand covered in red reached out from the door and held the door frame, its eyes becoming empty.

One of his hands and one of his legs were missing, and there was a bloody gash on his chest running from his shoulder to his abdomen.

"Satomi, you're not of the Tendo family bloodline. Tendo Kikunojo went easy on you." Tendo Kisara said, looking at Satomi Rentaro who was crawling out of the main gate.

Rentaro Satomi had one arm and ribs and chest replaced with birch metal prosthetics. When Gastrea killed her father and mother and seriously injured her, it was Rentaro Satomi who protected her, losing his hand and having his ribs and sternum shattered.

That's why she has the greatest affection for Rentaro Satomi, and even after realizing his hypocrisy, she still treats him as her best younger brother.

“Brother Kazumitsu is dead, my uncles and other uncles are dead, and you even forced my grandfather to his death…” Satomi Rentaro gritted his teeth and looked at his stepsister, who had become someone he no longer recognized, with resentment.

"Are you satisfied now? Is revenge really that important? Do you really want everyone to die? What's gone can never be brought back! Why can't everyone be happy together!"

"This is what you want, Satomi. This is your desire, yet you want to impose it on everyone. Satisfying your desire is justice, and not satisfying it is injustice." Tendou Kisara calmly looked at his sworn brother, who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

"Satomi, you're such a hypocrite."

"So, you didn't qualify to board Noah's Ark, right?" Tendoki felt no disgust, only pity in his eyes. In the end, Satomi, you're not even an ordinary person who's neither good nor evil, a mixture of good and evil?

"Then, goodbye, Satomi, Satomi Rentaro, my dear sworn brother."

After speaking, Kisara Tendo turned and left without looking at Rentaro Satomi.

The cold rain poured down on her head, completely calming her down.

The sound of the heavy rain was mixed with a cacophony of roars, shouts, howls, screams, and screams—the rage of those who had not been chosen.

"I got my revenge, but I don't feel the joy of avenging a great grudge." Kisara Tendo raised his head to look at the sky, letting the rain hit his face, and placed his hand on his chest, feeling his heart pounding: "Instead, my heart feels empty, as if something is missing."

Just then, a sound came from the alleyway in the corner, and she looked over.

A middle-aged couple with a little boy are hugging each other and crying.

“Dad, I wasn’t chosen, and I know I’m not qualified. Dad, I’m a bad person. Don’t be like Dad.” The man with a scar on his face looked at the boy who was hugging his leg and wailing.

"I'm sorry, Sachiko, I won't be able to take care of you anymore, but please raise our child." The man knelt down in front of his wife with a thud and kowtowed heavily.

"Why? You're clearly a good husband and a good father, sob sob..." His wife hugged him and cried.

“But I’m not a good man, you know that, but I’m lucky to have a kind wife and a son who is so much like you,” the man said. “I know you’ll spend some of the money I give you on the cursed child.”

"I'm glad that even when I scolded you, you didn't listen to me."

"Let's go, let's hurry, let's go to the new world."

"No, I want to be with you..."

"Go! Go now! Let our son grow up!" the man roared through his tears.

“Okay… Waaah…” The wife pulled her son, who was crying and shouting, “Daddy, don’t go.”

"You brat, say those last two words with Dad. You have to say them, or Dad won't love you anymore." The man pushed away his son who was about to pounce on him.

"Shout after me, board the ship!"

"Come aboard!"

Green bubbles appeared around the two of them, carrying them into the sky.

"Sachiko! Son, I love you!" The man watched his family fly further and further away before finally bursting into tears, kneeling on the ground and repeatedly banging his head against the ground.

"Why did I do so many bad things? Why! I'm such a scumbag!"

Seeing this scene, Kisara Tendo's empty heart was pierced, and the images of his parents kept flashing through his mind. His eyes welled up with tears that streamed down his cheeks.

"If it were my parents, they would have done the same. I hope I can survive..."

“I have the surname Tiantong because of my parents, not because of those scumbags in the Tiantong family.”

"The blood flowing in my veins is my parents' blood, not the dirty blood of the Tiantong family."

If she considers the blood flowing in her body to be dirty, then she is insulting her father and mother.

I'm sorry, Mom and Dad...

“My daughter is leaving, leaving alone…” Tendo Kisara looked up at the sky and the green bubbles in the sky that protected each person.

"Board the ship."

Buzz~ Green bubbles carried her up and floated up, just like a fairytale dream she had as a child.

Inside the Sima Heavy Industry building.

Sima Weizhi sat alone in a chair, tears streaming down her face as she looked out the window at the chaotic, hellish streets.

A doting voice came from the table in front of me.

In the days to come when we are gone, you must be strong.

[In this new world, there's no Sima Heavy Industries. You need to curb your spoiled princess attitude. Just be a person, an ordinary person, and you must be cautious and prudent. Make sure you have friends and cultivate genuine friendships.]

[Go on your way, daughter. Don't catch a cold while you're alone.]

Click! The phone was hung up.

"Board the ship," Sima Weizhi murmured, her voice choked with emotion, as she wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

……

Time passed slowly, and four days flew by in the blink of an eye. The time for the world-ending flood was fast approaching.

Joan of Arc stood on the planet's atmosphere and sighed deeply.

"Are you disappointed, Joan of Arc?" A voice rang in Joan of Arc's ears. Joan of Arc quickly looked over and saw Saint Louis standing beside her, calmly looking at her.

Joan of Arc blushed and lowered her head in shame: "I'm sorry, my lord, I actually questioned your decision. Please punish me." Joan of Arc knelt down on one knee in mid-air.

"I was so excited when I heard about the great flood that I made the 'Three Heroes' pact with you without understanding the actual situation. I made a serious mistake, and I ask you to punish me."

She had traveled to every civilized area of ​​the planet over the past two days, but reality slapped her in the face; the stench of evil in every place was so thick that it infuriated her.

Apart from civilized areas, the entire planet, both on land and in the sea, has become a world of Gastrea.

The strongest Gastrea have reached the fourth tier, and they all carry huge herds. Any one of these herds could easily flatten a civilized area.

“You didn’t find all three heroes, did you?” Los Saint looked at Joan of Arc kneeling before him, her ears red with shame.

"It's good that you didn't find it. Although it's said that the deeper the darkness, the brighter the light, there are always exceptions."

"Some civilizations are simply incapable of producing heroes."

"This civilization is so incapable that even a single hero could emerge."

“I granted Matsuzaki the Eye of God simply because of something beyond his spiritual level,” Los Saint continued. Matsuzaki was the only adult character he liked when he first watched anime.

“The Holy Emperor’s ideal barely meets the standard of a hero, but her heart is not firm enough, and her ability to act cannot keep up with her ideal. She only has a tiny chance of becoming a hero,” said Luo Sheng.

"Besides, she is only 16 years old and not yet an adult, which does not meet the conditions I set for you."

"Joan of Arc, your biggest problem is that you're too emotional. Your judgment and actions are easily swayed by momentary emotions." Los Saint criticized her mercilessly. He was criticizing Joan of Arc from the perspective of divine justice and God, which is why one should use official titles when working.

The nickname 'Jeanne d'Arc's Fairness' comes from Joan of Arc's impulsive and unfair actions due to a moment of emotion.

"Yes." Joan of Arc lowered her head, her cheeks burning. She would remember the Lord's criticism and never make the same mistake again.

"I'll forgive you for your first mistake, but don't let it happen more than three times. Don't blame me for punishing you then," Luo Sheng said. Hmm, if you dare to talk back to me again, hmph, then I'll have to punish you severely behind closed doors.

"Yes, my lord." Joan of Arc responded instantly, like a wilted cabbage. She had done such a terrible thing that she would surely be criticized by the world in the new Bible and regarded as a foolish and rebellious angel.

"Then, let the Great Flood begin." Los Saint looked down at the planet that was exactly like Earth, slowly raised his hand, and then quickly swung it down.

Rumble, rumble——

A vast amount of water instantly enveloped the entire planet, and the planet's atmosphere emitted a water-blue light. Rain carrying water elements poured down to the earth like a waterfall.

Sea levels are rising at a visible rate, the four oceans are in turmoil, and tsunamis exceeding 10,000 meters in height are forming and engulfing the continents.

Tokyo was the first to suffer.

After four days of chaos, Tokyo's population had dwindled by half. Their frenzied venting of desires—the desire to kill, to destroy, and to have sex—had left Tokyo's streets and alleys littered with swollen corpses soaked in rainwater.

After their desires were satisfied, the remaining people wandered the streets like zombies.

A deafening roar echoed throughout the world; it wasn't thunder, but the sound of the earth being crushed.

The zombies looked up and saw only the floodwaters rushing towards them at an unknown speed.

The floodwaters had already covered the clouds, which were tens of thousands of meters high, making it seem as if the sky and the sea had merged into one.

"The great flood is coming, hehe, hehehehe..." The walking corpse-like man, with vacant eyes and a numb expression, spread his arms and shouted madly, "Come on! Damn great flood! End me! Hahahaha..."

Alone and powerless, Rentaro Satomi knelt on the ground, his eyes reflecting a wall of pale blue light in extreme terror: "The world... is destroyed! Aaaaaah—"
