At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

After experiencing a collapse of human civilization, most humans were more or less infected with 'gastreavirus', and the fetus would also be infected with 'gastreavirus' during subsequent childbirth.

Children infected with too much 'Gastrulovirus' will have red eyes due to emotional changes after birth, and the degree of viral erosion will worsen as they grow. After a certain point, the human genes will break down and turn into bizarre Gastrea-like creatures.

This led to the abandonment of countless newborn babies. Since the twelve final test subjects were all little girls, only girls were susceptible to infection.

Those infected are also called 'cursed children' by humans.

It wasn't until those ruthless scientists discovered that these children could awaken certain animal abilities as they grew a little older that they began to adopt large numbers of abandoned babies.

However, they were trained to be weapons to fight against Gastrea.

Then, the world formed the International Organization of the Initiators (IISO), a body of organizations comprised of humans as 'facilitators' (users) and 'Initiators' (the cursed children).

Anyone willing to fight Gastrea will be assigned a 'Starter' after being vetted by the organization.

However, for most 'promoters', they will use the tools to the extreme as long as they are not broken, and replace them with new ones when they break.

Only a very small number of 'facilitators' have the conscience to treat 'initiators' as partners and sisters.

"Hehe... This is a blessed world." Luo Sheng walked on the ruins that looked like they had been destroyed by a nuclear explosion, and looked up at the huge stone monument that stood 1,600 meters tall in the distance. It was truly a wonder of humankind.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've prepared a grand funeral for a civilization."

Looking towards the distant area filled with the bustling atmosphere of human civilization, Los Saint found that, if one ignored the massive black stone monuments and the ruins on the city's outskirts, it was essentially no different from peacetime.

Rumble... Splash...

The once clear sky was now covered with dark clouds. As lightning flashed, a light drizzle began to fall, the raindrops growing larger and larger.

"It's raining, don't go out."

"It's raining... The elder is still outside and hasn't returned yet."

A sweet, childlike voice came from under a manhole cover not far from Los Santos. The cover creaked as it was moved aside, revealing a cute little girl with pink hair peeking out. Her red eyes looked around innocently.

The little girl looked to be only seven or eight years old. Her clothes were old and the torn parts had been carefully patched up.

When the little girl saw someone standing not far away, her expression turned frightened, and she quickly pulled her head back. Her little hands kept tugging at the manhole cover, trying to move it back.

Luo Sheng smiled as he looked at the small hands frantically trying to pry open the manhole cover and walked over.

Hearing approaching footsteps, the little hands stopped tugging at the manhole cover, and the head cautiously poked out again, the cute expression like that of a little animal afraid of being bullied.

Raindrops fell on her cheeks, causing her to frantically wipe them with her arm.

"Don't be afraid, big brother is not a bad person. Big brother, can you come in and take shelter from the rain?" Luo Sheng asked gently.

The little girl's red eyes reflected a kind and gentle smile. As a cursed child abandoned at birth, she was able to directly feel the malice of adults as she had survived to this day.

Those who didn't sense the adults' malice have already died.

"Yes, come in, come in," the little girl said timidly in a low voice, and then climbed down the iron ladder that had been worn smooth and shiny.

Los Santos entered through the sewer entrance. Because it had been inhabited and cleaned for a long time, there was no unpleasant smell. Instead, there was a strong smell of burning candles.

The little girl ran down to a spot where a fire was burning not far from the sewer.

Los Saint followed. It was a cramped 'room' lit by candles. A worn-out foam sofa and a repaired mattress were neatly arranged in the corner. A dozen or so children were huddled on the sofa and mattress, their red eyes looking at him timidly, filled with fear and curiosity. No one spoke; it was very quiet.

Luo Sheng didn't say anything, but simply smiled and stretched out his hand in front of them. Soft light appeared in his hand, and to their puzzled looks, cakes, lollipops, princess dresses, and dolls flew out of the light.

"Wow..." a little girl made a sound, but the next moment she covered her mouth with both hands, but her red eyes were shining.

“Good children, eat up, it’s all for you,” Los Saint said gently, as he produced food from his hands, quickly piling it up to waist height.

"For us?" the pink-haired little girl who brought Luo Sheng in asked timidly, her childish voice full of expectation.

"Mm." Luo Sheng nodded, and with a thought, a rainbow lollipop appeared in front of each child with a "poof." The sweet aroma made some children unable to resist grabbing it and licking it, their eyes widening. The blissful sweetness instantly made them lively.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Thank you, Uncle."

The children's sweet, childish voices rang out. Only after realizing there was no danger did they run out from the corner and surround Luo Sheng. The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard constantly, but none of them touched the mountain of snacks that was taller than them.

"Eat up," Luo Sheng said with a smile.

After receiving affirmation, the little girls carefully picked up a bag of snacks.

"Delicious, the cream cake is delicious!" A slightly older little girl's face was immediately covered in cream.

"Is this really that delicious?"

"This is delicious."

The little girls' happy voices instantly filled the entire sewer space.

Just then, the sound of the manhole cover being moved was heard, and the little girls immediately stopped what they were doing.

"The elder is back!" A little girl ran towards the manhole cover while clutching snacks in her arms.

"Elder!" The little girls immediately abandoned Luo Sheng and ran towards another person.

“Elder…Matsuzaki, one of the few good people, I have a pretty deep impression of him.” Luo Sheng recalled the memories in his mind.

"Snacks? Maria, Sasana, where did you get these from?" a kind voice asked.

"It was created by an uncle."

"Elder, Uncle is amazing. He has light in his hands, and it appears out of the light."

"Uncle?" The kind voice sounded somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, Uncle is inside. Kyoko brought him in to take shelter from the rain."

"I see."

"Elder, the cake is delicious, you should have some too."

"Hehe, I won't eat it."

As the footsteps of adults and the cheerful voices of children approached, a kind-faced middle-aged man in his fifties walked in, surrounded by little girls.

The middle-aged man was holding a cardboard bag filled with baguettes, which looked like food for the children.

Matsuzaki looked at the young man who was standing casually. When he saw the young man's inhumanly handsome face, his heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but look into the young man's eyes, which were golden, but not ordinary gold.

It seems to possess the 'divinity' that philosophers have mentioned and discussed.

He was just an ordinary person who had never seen any 'divinity', but the word subconsciously came to mind.

Then, recalling what the children had just said about "the uncle having light in his hands" and "food appearing from the light," my heart suddenly started racing.

“You, you… thank you for bringing food to the children. The children have never eaten food before.” Matsuzaki said calmly and gently. God? There are no gods in this world. If there were, why would they watch these innocent children suffer in this hellish world?

As Matsuzaki spoke, he placed the baguette in his hand on an old desk, next to which a shelf was piled high with books whose corners were worn and scratched.

"Is this what they usually eat?" Los Saint looked at the dry, hard baguette. This was the worst kind of bread; it was very hard and had no salt or sugar.

"No... most of the time we don't get to eat that. Most of the time we eat simple foods like noodles or flour paste." Matsuzaki looked at the children who were sitting side by side on the sofa and mattress, happily eating snacks.

"I'm just a teacher with a low salary, and I can't help many children. I just hope they can learn to control their emotions and hide their red eyes as much as possible, so that they can have a chance to live a normal life in the city."

"So, you've helped a lot of children?" Los Saint said. He could scan Matsuzaki's life traces in the world with his divine sense to know his past, but he didn't do so this time.

He has a deep and genuine respect for such naturally virtuous people.

"Not many, really. These are the twenty-third batch of children I've adopted. The children who went to live in the city before them didn't have much of a good life either. Most of them are no longer here... After all, they were just children. No matter how well they hid themselves, there will always be a time when they were exposed."

“Even if they hadn’t been exposed, they were still just children. How else can a child live besides begging? Sigh.” Matsuzaki sighed as he spoke.

"In the end, it's all for nothing," Luo Sheng said mercilessly.

“That’s not how it works. We can’t let go of even the slightest chance for them to live a normal life.” Matsuzaki’s tone became firmer: “Even if we know they might not live to adulthood because of the ‘Gastrea’ virus, if they want to live a normal life even if it’s only for one day, then we must fight for it.”

“How long can you keep this up? After all, you’re getting old,” Los Saint continued.

"How long... I don't know. As long as I'm alive, I can at least bring them some food," Matsuzaki said kindly to the children.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Luo Sheng clapped his hands in satisfaction: "I am very satisfied with your answer, Matsuzaki. You are just an ordinary person, and it is quite impressive that you have been able to achieve this level in such a world."

A 'God's Eye' appeared in Luo Sheng's hand. The God's Eye did not have the usual seven element symbols, but rather a scale symbol.

"As the person I consider to be the most virtuous in this world, you deserve to be blessed, and use that blessing to fulfill your wishes."

"What is this?" Matsuzaki slowly opened his eyes wide. A crystal pendant radiating pure white light was floating in the young man's hand. The crystal pendant was also floating towards him. For some reason, he subconsciously reached out his hand.

The moment the crystal pendant landed in my palm, everything around me changed.

He was standing on the silver roots of a giant tree that stretched as far as the eye could see, its canopy as colorful as a rainbow.

A brief message appeared in his mind: "World Tree," and he simultaneously sensed an unseen passage connecting him to the World Tree.

Behind the World Tree, in a place not obscured by the sea of ​​clouds, a vast, pristine white palace complex was faintly visible. Three characters on the sacred palace complex appeared and disappeared, and after only a fleeting glance, he understood what they were.

The Pantheon is a sacred place where the gods discuss world order and the direction of civilization.

The next instant, everything around him disappeared, and he was back in the room in the sewers.

call……

Matsuzaki's breathing became rapid, and beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks. When he came to his senses, he looked at the young man, but the young man had already disappeared.

"Elder, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" a little girl asked in a childish voice, looking at the frightened Matsuzaki.

"Has He... He's gone?" Matsuzaki now knew what kind of being the young man from before was. He was a god, though he didn't know what kind of god he was, but he was certainly a compassionate god.

"Xiao Jian, when did that uncle leave?"

"Uncle left while the elder was in a daze. He just left." The little girl pointed in the direction of the manhole cover.

Matsuzaki quickly ran towards the manhole cover and climbed up.

Splash splash splash splash...

The torrential rain soaked him to the bone. He looked around, trying to find the god he had just seen, but he couldn't find a single person.

"Are they gone? I still have so many questions I want to ask the gods. Why has the world become like this..." Matsuzaki holds the 'Eye of God'. There is a warm current in his body, a power called 'Elemental Force', as well as a power called 'Righteousness'.

A message was transmitted from the 'Eye of God' into his mind, causing him to freeze in place.

Seven-Day Destruction - Flood

This is the ultimate judgment of the gods upon the world and civilization.

He was a teacher who had once struggled and read through the Bible, including this passage.
