Chapter 152
"Mr. Yahweh is really popular with these children..."
Victorique next to her saw this scene and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
"My lord,"
At this moment, Joan of Arc suddenly appeared and reported to Yahweh.
Well, it was the angel Joan of Arc, not some silly-looking village girl who was playing with those children.
"A group of humans have gathered outside the temple and want to see you. Do you need to deal with them?"
"Beyond the temple...it's her..."
Withdrawing his thoughts from a certain silver-haired girl, Yahweh replied softly.
"No need, I'll go see her."
Although I can guess what the girl is thinking, there is no harm in going to see her.
After hearing Yahweh's words, Joan of Arc was a little surprised, but she still stood up and moved away.
"Eh? Someone is coming outside? I'll go over and have a look..."
Seeing this, Black Cat hugged Xiaocui and followed him.
……………………
"…………"
Outside the urban areas of Tokyo, the originally dilapidated outer areas have been replaced by gorgeous temples. The holy golden light envelopes the temples, preventing mortals from entering.
But now, a group of people were kneeling neatly outside the light barrier, closing their eyes as if praying for something.
Among these people, there are old and young, male and female. Almost half of the people in Tokyo are here. Even if the distance between them is not far, they can easily fill the streets in an endless stream. There is almost no end in sight.
And at the front of these people, the Holy Emperor in a pure white dress knelt at the head, also praying with his eyes closed, the look on his face was extremely pious. Finally, their prayers seemed to be paying off.
Accompanied by the hymn of praise, a figure wrapped in holy light appeared behind the light screen.
"Lord God..."
Opening his eyes and looking at this noble and majestic figure, the Holy Emperor couldn't help but show an expression of surprise on his face.
Although she couldn't see her face clearly, her intuition told her that the figure wrapped in holy light was the young man she met yesterday.
"Although you are all sinful people, our Lord is kind and willing to listen to your thoughts."
Joan of Arc stood beside Yawei, saying this coldly, and then turned her eyes to the Holy Emperor.
"Human, what do you have to report to my lord?"
"Dear Lord God,"
Seeing this, Sheng Tianzi quickly stood up and said in a respectful tone.
"We know your anger and we know the crimes we have committed."
"But I hope you can give us a chance!"
"…………"
Yahweh did not reply. Although the Holy Emperor felt a little uncomfortable, he could only continue speaking.
"Perhaps you have indeed seen darkness and sin in this world, but this does not mean that there is no light in this world."
"The children you care for are prejudiced and discriminated against in this world. There is no doubt about their sin."
"But not everyone in this world is like that."
Although the number is extremely rare, there are still people in this world who have good intentions towards the Cursed Son.
For example, Elder Matsuzaki, and another example is the Holy Emperor himself.
"Moreover, after experiencing this incident, I believe everyone will regret their previous prejudices and crimes they have committed."
"We can assure you that no one will ever discriminate against those children again."
"and……"
The Holy Emperor took a deep breath, his eyes extremely firm and serious.
"...No matter in the past or in the future, anyone who harms the "Son of God" will be punished as he deserves! "
Hearing what the Holy Emperor said, the expressions of some people behind her changed slightly.
But it is better to be punished than to die in the doomsday.
Therefore, these people finally allowed the Holy Emperor to continue speaking.
"Those who commit crimes will be judged."
"Those children will also be protected and treated fairly."
"This world may indeed be very bad, but it is definitely not hopeless!"
"So, Lord God..."
The Holy Emperor knelt down towards Yahweh again, even lying on the ground.
"...Please give this world, give everyone a chance!"
From the perspective of the Holy Son of Heaven, Yahweh does not necessarily bring judgment and bring about the end of this world.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her those questions.
Most of this god's anger stems from the discrimination and harm suffered by those children in this world. After yesterday's conversation with Yahweh, the Holy Emperor has completely realized it.
Her previous behavior was still too weak and her view of the problem was not complete.
At this point, she had made up her mind.
Those children will no longer be discriminated against. Anyone who harms them will be punished, even for the crimes they committed before!
At the same time, she also believed that after experiencing this incident, those who were prejudiced against the Cursed Son would definitely repent!
At least, the group of people behind her must have the same idea as her!
She believes that together with this belief, they can impress Yahweh and fight for a glimmer of hope for mankind!
"Please God, please be merciful and give this world a chance!"
Looking at the movements of the Holy Emperor, the people behind him also leaned over to repent, their eyes full of regret and desire for life, as if they had realized their mistakes and regretted what they had done.
"Well……"
Seeing this shocking scene, Black Cat's body trembled slightly.
If it weren't for seeing the memory copy sent by the group leader, she might actually be touched by the scene in front of her.
ps: After this plot is written, there should be a river of blood afterward. But after thinking about the disasters in the next three days, I only thought about famine and plague in the first four days. What do you think about the remaining two disasters? (It requires pain but does not cause death. It almost makes sense to talk about the ten disasters)
Chapter 215: Reality outside the ivory tower
"…………"
Looking at this scene, the noble figure wrapped in holy light seemed to be really touched.
Upon seeing this, those who were kneeling on the ground and confessing fell silent for an instant, with a look of hope on their faces.
And Yahweh's figure flashed and appeared in front of the Holy Emperor.
Then, he stretched out his arm that exuded holy light, and gently touched her forehead with his index finger.
"???"
At first she was a little confused about this god's actions, and then...
She heard it!
The thoughts of these penitent people who bowed down to the gods with her!
Then, her resolute cyan purple eyes gradually became stiff.
"…………"
She knew from beginning to end what kind of prejudice people in this world had against those children.
However, in her opinion, after Yahweh imposed divine punishment for this, these people should have realized their mistakes and regretted what they had done.
Even if not everyone is like this, at least the people behind her who are willing to come with her to confess to the gods should be like this.
However, it turned out that she was wrong!
It is true that many people feel regret, but they do not regret everything they have done, but they regret being punished by the gods for the things they did!
For those kids...
Not only did their views not change at all, but they became even more resentful because of the judgment above the sky.
If it weren't for this group of unknown monsters, how could they be punished by the gods?
Many people even have no regrets and only have pure resentment in their hearts.
And the reason why these people are willing to come over and confess to Yahweh with her is just to impress the gods as she said, and to pursue that tiny glimmer of hope!
"…………"
This innocent ruler who was locked up in an ivory tower and did not eat the fireworks of the world truly felt the ugliness of the human heart for the first time.
However, before she had time to react, countless memories instantly filled her mind.
That is all the prejudice and abuse experienced by all the children of the curse in this world.
She truly realized how much discrimination those innocent children suffered in this world!
Like being ostracized by people, not having enough to eat, and having to live in a dangerous peripheral area, it's just the most basic thing.
She saw...
Some children are abandoned by their parents right after they are born because of their status.
She saw...
A girl who is so well-behaved that it makes people feel sorry for her. Because her mother hated her red eyes, she filled them with lead.
She saw...
An innocent girl who had done nothing was accused of unwarranted charges and was taken to a peripheral area and shot to death by the arrogant police officers...
Although the Holy Emperor is a little naive, he is not a villain who needs to be punished.
Therefore, Yahweh would not allow her to be there and feel the pain of those children personally.
However, even if she was just watching, the shock it brought to her could easily tear everything she believed and held on to into pieces.
The girl's determination dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. She raised her head and looked at the god wrapped in holy light in front of her with a blank expression.
It's just that the Holy Emperor, who is just a mortal, cannot see Yahweh's expression at this time through the holy light.
However, she felt as if Yahweh was asking her—
Now, do you still think your idea is correct?
this world……
Worth giving another chance?
"I...I don't know..."
The girl seemed to collapse suddenly and collapsed to the ground, her pupils dilated and her eyes extremely empty.
In fact, regardless of the facts, the Holy Emperor is indeed a qualified ruler.
There is almost no selfish desire. Both ordinary civilians and cursed children are treated equally, and everything they do is just to make the city better.
But she is just an ideal king in her fantasy. The cruelty of reality will easily shatter everything she insists on!
Because everything she knows is so far from the reality of this world!
Although Tendo Kikinochei ignored the Holy Emperor, he did respect her very much and did not treat her harshly. Instead, he protected her very well.
And this also led to the innocent character of this girl.
She has never truly understood the people under her rule, nor has she truly experienced the existence of those children called "cursed children" in this city, in this world...
How was he treated?
