Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

"Thankfully, the angels you summoned helped... otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have been able to take care of everything on our own..."

"Speaking of which, Yahweh..."

The black cat turned its gaze away from the children.

"...Can I hug Xiao Cui?"

Chapter 214: The Holy Emperor: Please give this world a chance!

As the girl spoke, her beautiful dark purple eyes stared unblinkingly at the cat-eared loli in Yawei's arms.

Although she really liked cute little girls like Aihara Enju and Senju Natsuyo.

However, the black cat's favorite is Midori Fuse, who is a catgirl.

Perhaps it's because they are both cats?

Having previously spent time comforting the little ones with Cecilia and the others, she now had some free time and naturally wanted to pet this adorable kitten girl.

"We'll have to ask Xiao Cui's opinion on this!"

Yawes, of course, had no objection to this, and replied with a light laugh.

Xiao Cui: "…………"

In fact, Busei Tsui was somewhat unwilling.

However, Black Cat was, after all, a member of the chat group, and she actually had a good impression of this gentle, black-haired older sister.

So, after hesitating for a moment, she still let the girl with long, straight black hair hug her.

As the black cat stroked Xiao Cui's soft silver hair and delicate cat ears, a happy expression appeared on its face.

Petting cats and petting little girls are both things that bring joy, and now that the two are combined, the happiness is doubled.

However, when Xiao Cui looked at Yui, who was snuggling in Yawei's arms in her place after she left, her expression turned somewhat resentful.

"Mr. Yahweh is really popular with these children..."

Victorique, who was standing nearby, saw this and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"My lord,"

Just then, Joan of Arc suddenly appeared and reported to Yahweh.

Yes, it's the angel Joan of Arc, not some silly-looking village girl playing with those children.

"A group of humans have gathered outside the temple, wanting to see you. Should we deal with them?"

"Outside the temple...it's her..."

Yahweh replied softly, withdrawing his thoughts from the silver-haired girl.

"No need, I'll go see her myself."

Although I could guess what the girl was thinking, there was no harm in going to see her.

Although Joan of Arc was somewhat surprised by Yahweh's words, she still stood up and stepped aside.

"Hey? Someone's coming over outside? I'll go check it out..."

Seeing this, the black cat also picked up Xiao Cui and followed.

........................

"........."

Outside the Tokyo metropolitan area, the once dilapidated outskirts have been replaced by a magnificent temple. The temple is enveloped in a holy golden light, preventing mortals from entering.

Now, a group of people are kneeling neatly outside the barrier of light, their eyes closed as if they are praying for something.

Among these people were the old and the young, men and women; almost half of the Tokyo area was here. Even though they were not far apart, they easily filled the streets, stretching endlessly.

At the very front of these people, the Holy Emperor, dressed in a pristine white robe, knelt, his eyes closed in prayer, his expression one of utmost devotion. Finally, their prayers seemed to have an effect.

Accompanied by hymns of praise, a figure enveloped in holy light appeared behind the screen of light.

"Lord God..."

Upon opening his eyes and gazing upon this lofty and majestic figure, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise and delight.

Although she couldn't see his face clearly, her intuition told her that the figure shrouded in holy light was the boy she had met yesterday.

"Although you are all deeply sinful, our Lord is merciful and willing to listen to your thoughts."

Joan of Arc stood beside Yahweh, speaking coldly, before turning her gaze to the Holy Emperor.

"Human, what do you have to report to my lord?"

"Revered God,"

Upon seeing this, the Holy Emperor immediately stood up and said respectfully.

“We are aware of your anger, and we are also aware of the crimes we have committed.”

"However, we hope you can give us a chance!"

"........."

Yahweh did not reply, and although the Holy Emperor sensed something was amiss, he could only continue speaking.

"Perhaps you have indeed seen darkness and evil in this world, but that does not mean there is not a ray of light in this world."

"The children you care for face prejudice and discrimination in this world, and this sin is beyond question."

"However, not everyone in this world is like that."

Although they are extremely rare, there are still people in this world who are kind to the cursed children.

For example, Elder Matsuzaki, and the Holy Emperor himself.

"Moreover, after experiencing this incident, I believe everyone will repent for their previous prejudices and the crimes they committed."

“We can assure you that no one will discriminate against those children again.”

"and……"

The Holy Emperor took a deep breath, his eyes filled with unwavering determination and seriousness.

"...Whether in the past or in the future, anyone who harms the 'Children of God' will receive their due punishment!"

Upon hearing the Holy Emperor's words, the expressions of some of the people behind her changed slightly.

But being punished is better than inevitably dying in the apocalypse.

Therefore, these people ultimately let the Holy Emperor continue speaking.

"Those who commit crimes will be brought to justice."

“Those children will also be protected and treated fairly.”

"This world may indeed be terrible, but it is definitely not beyond redemption!"

"So, Your Majesty..."

The Holy Son knelt before Yahweh once more, even prostrating himself on the ground.

"...Please give this world, give everyone a chance!"

In the eyes of the Holy Son, Yahweh did not necessarily have to bring down judgment and bring about the end of the world.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her those questions.

The god's anger stemmed largely from the discrimination and harm those children suffered in this world. And after yesterday's conversation with Yahweh, the Holy Emperor had finally understood.

In the past, she acted too weakly and did not see things completely.

At this point, she had made up her mind.

Those children will no longer be discriminated against, and anyone who harms them will be punished, including those who committed crimes in the past!

At the same time, she also believes that after this experience, those who are prejudiced against the cursed child will surely repent!

At least, the group of people behind her must think the same way!

She believes that this shared belief, when put together, can move Yahweh and give humanity a glimmer of hope!

"Please, Gods, have mercy and give this world a chance!"

Seeing the Holy Emperor's actions, the people behind him also bowed down in repentance, their eyes filled with regret and a longing for life, as if they had realized their mistakes and regretted what they had done.

"Well……"

Seeing this shocking scene, the black cat trembled slightly.

If she hadn't seen the memory copy sent by the group admin, she might have actually been moved by what she saw.

P.S.: After writing this part of the story, the rest should be a bloodbath. I've already thought about the disasters for the next three days; for the first four, I only have famine and plague in mind. What do you all think about the remaining two disasters? (They need to be painful but not fatal; honestly, the ten plagues don't seem quite right.)

Chapter 215: Reality Beyond the Ivory Tower

"........."

Seeing this scene, the sublime figure surrounded by holy light seemed genuinely moved.

Upon seeing this, those kneeling on the ground in repentance fell silent instantly, their faces revealing hopeful expressions.

Yahweh then appeared in front of the Holy Emperor in a flash.

Then, he stretched out his arm, which radiated a holy glow, and gently touched her forehead with his index finger.

"???"

She was initially puzzled by the deity's actions, and then...

She heard it!

The thoughts of those who knelt and prayed with her to the gods, those who were repenting!

Then, her resolute, dark purple eyes gradually hardened.

"........."

She was always clear about the prejudice people in this world held against those children.
