"Ding" sound.

Centered on the point of contact with the parts, everything begins to rapidly metalize, and then collapses into a wave of mechanical parts, as if affected by the incompleteness of the luminous parts themselves.

But as the brilliance of the parts skyrocketed, the piles of parts began to wriggle to form an unnamed structure, an unnamed whole.

Then, half a beat later, flesh and blood mutations began to sweep in from all directions.

The powerless turned into soft and rotten blood sludge in an instant, and then struggled to crawl out of the deformed foreign body from the blood sludge. A handful of powerful clergy, such as the three who had prayed to the gods by Mr. Zero's side, escaped by the power of faith, watching the sacred church fall into the horrors of the catastrophe.

"God...... God...... Evil...... Is evil going to obscure the light of God......" The old man's trembling voice rang out, but no one responded.

They watched as a group of cultists emerged from the surface of the corroded flesh.

"Ah...... The remains of the gods that had long since crumbled into countless pieces also appeared here...... It should be made into the flesh of living creatures, and melted with our Lord. The leader said, and stretched out his hand to a part of God.

They watched as a group of cultists emerged from the transformed mechanical surface.

"The body of my god is scattered into ten thousand, and it will be recast into one. How can God's return be dishonored by filthy and twisted flesh...... "The leader brandishes his weapon and cuts off the outstretched hand of the other.

The flesh-and-blood believers looked at the slave in silence.

The mechanical believer looked at the blood slave in silence.

The fallen arm turns into mud and melts into flesh. Then the flesh spewed back, forming an intact arm.

"Behold, this is the power of our Creator. ”

The flesh was shattered again. After that, it will be easily shattered countless times.

"Behold, this is the power of our faith in God. ”

Then the tide of flesh and machinery boiled, and they collided with each other as if they were covering the sky and the sun. Everything in the world is gradually joining the wave, shouting to fuel their prestige.

On the other side of this noisy and chaotic world, the atmosphere of tranquility is also invaded and broken.

God watched in astonishment as two great and extraordinary forces invaded in front of her, twisting and shattering her kingdom, overwhelming.

So Mr. Zero was no longer drawn to the door. He also fell, and immediately returned to his body.

At the last moment of his fall, he saw God hesitantly close the door, and then hesitantly open the door.

"It's a righteous god. The difference with the evil god is quite big. Mr. Zero commented.

An endless sea of light swept out, drowning the waves that swept the world.

"Carnival in my church...... Isn't it a little too disrespectful to the owner of this place?"

It seems to be a little different from the sound I heard. Mr. Zero thought so.

The light struggled to consume the two ends of the wave.

The infidels looked at each other, and finally they all quietly retreated.

"After all, we can't fight against other divinities. ”

The brilliance of the mechanical parts of divinity also faded in the sea of light.

The final destination is unknown.

......

Mr. Zero stumbled out of the side of the rubble.

Fortunately, the people who survived the disaster had no time to take care of him anymore.

Both sides of the road were filled with people kneeling on the ground, praying earnestly for the miracle of the church that had never dissipated its full splendor in the air.

The gods showed great power and sent miracles to repel the monsters and prevent the catastrophe. This story, which can only be found in epic poems or myths in the canon of the Church, is now part of reality. The pious, the unreligious, and even the unbelievers are now offering their most sincere faith to the gods.

Although, those who became part of the monster at the beginning of the catastrophe can never be recovered.

Mr. Zero retrieved the parts of the machine from his pocket again. "I didn't expect to get it again in the end. ”

He played with the strange thing in his hand, it was so delicate and beautiful, and the brilliance faintly reflected in the metallic luster made people imagine that the huge machine as a whole must be an incomparably perfect masterpiece, and people couldn't help but want to be a part of it.

"But fortunately......" Mr. Zero knocked on the wall next to the road with the metal object, and there was no such terrifying change as before. "The power in it was temporarily neutralized by the power of the gods of the Holy See. The slight movement touched the wounds from his previous abuse or his chapped skin, making him grin.

Mr. Zero, exposed to the glow of the previous mechanical parts, did not become part of the fragments like the other unlucky eggs, but only seemed to be slightly metalized on the surface of his body. Now this thin layer of metalization was constantly peeling off Mr. Zero's body with his movements, and it made him feel almost like he had peeled off a layer of skin.

But as mentioned before, Mr. Zero, who is accustomed to more terrifying pain, still acts almost as usual.

Or maybe it was because of this slight metalization that Mr. Zero, who was seriously injured after being "tortured", was able to move again.

"The Holy See probably suffered a lot of losses this time......" Mr. Zero watched as the survivors of the church tried to organize the disaster relief after the incident.

"I deserve it!" Mr. Zero said with some annoyance, "I've obviously reminded them of this problem so many times! ”

Mr. Zero concluded: "It's hopeless. ”

"No, I still took this opportunity to neutralize its power through the power of the gods of the Holy See...... If you don't have enough power to activate it, you shouldn't be able to push the chain collapse, right? Mr. Zero put it back in his pocket, "I don't know what the so-called 'fully mechanical' world will be like, and I don't know what it will be like if we all become pieces of metal, but it won't be what we want......

He left, and then he heard the civilians cursing at the cultists who had caused the disaster.

"Don't you want to die......" Mr. Zero touched his chin and paused for a moment.

"But if we regard this as a simple merger of a few organizations, there is no such thing as justice and evil. What is the fundamental difference between organizations that believe in gods......

Mr. Zero then continued to take a step.

He saw a little girl crying in front of him. So he asked aloud:

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

"Uh......h Whining...... Daddy, Daddy, he's a helper in church today...... Then, just ...... Woo...... The neighbor's mother-in-law said that he would never come back...... "She found out with tears in her eyes that the questioner was a well-dressed gentleman, so she couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "First, sir, you must know that my father will definitely come back, right? You seem to be much more knowledgeable than your mother-in-law...... Woohoo...... "She leaned in and grabbed the corner of Mr. Zero's coat, staining his shirt with dust - the clothes before were no longer usable, and I don't know where Mr. Zero got this new white dress.

It wasn't until the little girl who was choked up that she realized that the other party was also injured. "Excuse me, sir......" She let go of her hand in fright and took a few steps back. A gray palm print appeared on the white garment.

Mr. Zero just stared at her silently. "Yes, I'm sorry...... Woo, woo......" she cried helplessly.

Mr. Zero noticed that the other man looked slightly shabby.

"I'm afraid that she won't be able to buy such a dress again if she sells it. However, after the death of her father, who was the main laborer, it will be difficult for her to survive. ”

With that in mind, Mr. Zero rubbed the little girl's hair, which looked so carefully groomed but was still a little messy, and touched the pocket on the other side of his side.

Of course, I don't have any money.

Mr. Zero had no choice but to let go of his hand.

The little girl heard the young gentleman whisper in an ambiguous tone, "Even if your father doesn't come back, he will always love you......

The young gentleman did not turn and go quietly, as he had expected, or as he was accustomed to, or as he often saw others suffer.

After watching the kind person go away, the little girl seemed to understand the hidden message in the other party's words in her little head, squatted on the ground with her knees and cried, no longer suppressed.

"In that case, if I don't do this to neutralize this danger, more people will die, and the energy contained in it has long been stored to the limit, but it has been suppressed. ”

"I may have killed a few people by my actions, but it will only save more, if not the world. ”

“......”

But all I reacted afterwards was just trying to convince myself to comfort myself. ”

"Obviously, I just accused God of that kind of statement. ”

"But I'm not the same...... Do you count lives in mere numbers?"
