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

However, in her view, after Yahweh punished them, these people should have realized their mistakes and regretted what they had done.

Even if not everyone is like that, at least those behind her who are willing to come with her to repent to the gods should all be like that.

However, it turned out she was wrong!

Indeed, many people feel regret, but not for what they did, but for the punishment they received from the gods because of their actions!

As for those children...

Their views not only remained unchanged, but they also became more resentful because of the judgment from the heavens.

If it weren't for these ominous monsters, how could they have been punished by the gods?

Many people don't even feel regret; they only feel pure resentment.

The reason these people were willing to follow her and repent to Yahweh was simply to move the gods as she said, and to pursue that faint glimmer of hope!

"........."

This naive ruler, confined in his ivory tower and detached from worldly affairs, experienced firsthand the ugliness of human nature.

However, before she could react, countless memories flooded her mind.

That is all the prejudice and abuse experienced by all the cursed children of this world.

She truly understood the kind of discrimination those innocent children suffered in this world!

It's like being rejected by people, starving, and forced to live in a dangerous outer area—that's just the most basic existence.

She saw...

Some children are abandoned by their parents right after birth because of their birth.

She saw...

A girl so well-behaved it was heartbreaking, but because her mother hated her red eyes, she had lead poured into them.

She saw...

An innocent girl who had done nothing wrong was falsely accused and brutally dragged to the outskirts of the city by overbearing police officers and shot to death...

Although the Holy Emperor is somewhat naive, he is not a villain who needs to be punished.

Therefore, Yahweh would not allow her to experience firsthand the suffering of those children.

However, even just observing it as an observer, the shock it brought her easily shattered everything she believed in and held onto.

The girl's resolve dissipated at a visible speed. She raised her head and looked blankly at the god in front of her, who was enveloped in holy light.

However, being a mortal being, the Holy Son of Heaven could not possibly see Yahweh's expression through the holy light.

However, she felt as if Yahweh was asking her a question—

Do you still think your idea is correct?

this world……

Is it worth giving them another chance?

"I...I don't know..."

The girl seemed to suddenly collapse, collapsing to the ground, her pupils dilated, her eyes utterly empty.

In fact, setting aside the facts, the Holy Emperor was indeed a competent ruler.

He had almost no selfish desires, treated ordinary civilians and cursed children equally, and did everything only to make the city a better place.

But she is just an ideal queen in her imagination; the cruelty of reality will easily shatter everything she holds onto!

Because everything she knew was so far removed from the reality of this world!

Although Kikunojo Tendo had effectively sidelined the Holy Emperor, he genuinely respected and loved her, never mistreating her and instead protecting her well.

This, in turn, led to the girl's naive personality.

She never truly understood the people under her rule, nor did she ever truly empathize with those children known as the "cursed children," in this city, in this world...

How exactly were they treated?

That's why she had such a naive idea, thinking that those people would sincerely repent and that the gods would be moved by it.

It wasn't until Yahweh shattered her ivory tower and laid bare the cold reality before her that she realized how naive she had been.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor..."

Seeing the Holy Emperor at the very front suddenly collapse to the ground, those kneeling behind him all showed expressions of surprise and worry.

They were not worried about the Holy Emperor, but about Yahweh's attitude.

After all, the Holy Emperor's reaction didn't look good at all.

Soon, their unease became a reality.

Facing the Holy Emperor who had collapsed to the ground, Yahweh withdrew his hand, turned around and returned to his original position. The indifference he displayed was self-evident, and he seemed completely unmoved by them.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor's thoughts...

Has it failed?

Those who had initially held onto a sliver of hope were now filled with despair, staring blankly at the noble figure enveloped in holy light.

And at this moment...

"I cannot agree with this! I absolutely cannot agree with this!"

A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, and the surprised crowd followed the sound and saw a black-haired boy who had stood up at some point, his brown eyes seemingly burning with flames.

"Rentaro..."

The tall, straight-haired, spirited girl kneeling behind him looked anxious and worried, and tried to pull him down to kneel and stop him.

However, he simply shook off the girl's hand and stared intently at Yawe's retreating figure.

"Everyone is trying so hard to live, everyone is exhausting all their energy just to survive!"

The black-haired boy shouted excitedly.

"Perhaps he did make many mistakes because of this, and perhaps he really deserves to be punished!"

"But does that mean everyone deserves to die?"

"Just for that, they're so arrogant as to want to destroy everything..."

"...to deny this world, to deny everything that everyone upholds..."

"...What kind of god is this?!"

Chapter 216: Black Cat: You're nothing but trash in human skin!

"........."

As the boy finished speaking, the entire street fell into complete silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the boy, their expressions frozen.

Bro, are you that brave?

You must understand that the Holy Emperor just brought so many people only to try and move the gods, hoping they would give humanity another chance.

And what happened to this boy?

They actually denied the judgment of the gods, and even said things like, "What kind of god is this?"

All I can say is that this young man is truly "commendable in his courage".

The boy named Rentaro Satomi said these words without feeling the slightest bit of fear.

Putting everything else aside, at least there's courage...

Rentaro Satomi is not lacking.

Even if he were facing the supreme god, he would definitely stand up if he disagreed.

In fact, he also disapproved of the discrimination people in this world showed against the cursed child.

However, in his view, this was something he could only do helplessly.

After all, who caused those children to be infected with gastroenteritis?

It's perfectly normal for ordinary people to feel repulsed and fearful.

In his view, as long as the cursed child shows kindness to ordinary people and uses his power to protect them, he can prove that he is not a monster that will harm others.

Then one day, everyone will be able to let go of their prejudices against these children!

Of course, although it is somewhat unavoidable, this discrimination is indeed unreasonable and definitely not normal.

He would not question Yahweh's ability to deliver a just punishment.

But that's all...

They want to destroy humanity and deny everything in this world...

He absolutely cannot agree with this!

"No, no, no, they are not human, they are just a bunch of trash in human skin!"

Faced with Rentaro Satomi's words, Joan of Arc, the angel beside Yahweh, had a slightly cold look in her eyes.

However, before she could punish this reckless fellow, the black cat on the other side couldn't help but retort.

"you……"

Seeing the black cat call everyone trash, Rentaro Satomi couldn't help but get angry.

The people around them were in similar moods, but none of them dared to reveal their thoughts in the slightest when facing the girl standing beside the god.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Am I wrong?"

The black cat's words were utterly merciless.

"I know you've really suffered..."

After all, Gastrea are far more terrifying than ordinary zombies.

Living in such a near-apocalyptic world is certainly not a lucky thing.
