Chapter 43: The Last Judgment

I don't know when, a rumor appeared on the Holy Cross Continent that was not a rumor.

"The outward and inner appearance of people has been replaced, which is a curse of chaos and a sign of the coming judgment of the gods."

But the vast majority of people don't have the ability to confirm this truth, and really understand that this is not a joke, only professionals who have mastered the profound extraordinary power.

- To be honest, it has caused them quite a lot of trouble, and in all aspects of their lives.

Because ignorant ordinary people can still live happily as usual, but only they can't, and if they are strong enough to a certain extent, they will inevitably perceive the existence of anomalies, so it is simply a huge torture for them.

After all, it's not that everyone is so lucky.,Just like Gui Daisy and Emilia.,Two beautiful girls with almost the same conditions on the surface exchanged "appearances" with each other.,Strictly speaking, no one suffers.。

Many people are actually randomly assigned and forcibly pulled, A's "external" is exchanged for B, B's "external" is exchanged for C, and then C's "external" is exchanged for A...... In such a process, it is basically impossible to choose even the gender.

Whether it is a young and beautiful woman who finds herself into a big man with her feet, or a high-ranking person who finds out that her young and beautiful lover has become a big man with her feet...... Even if the essence does not change, this visual lethality is not trivial.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people find that after they find that their appearance has become a women's clothing boss, they suddenly feel that they have opened the door to a new world, so they feel very satisfied with it.

But for the vast majority of people, at least they are not satisfied.

Even if there is no "revelation", they will inevitably find a way to solve such a problem.

Not to mention that there is really a "revelation" -

More than 5,000 angels suddenly fell to the mortal world a few days ago, and together they brought the terrible news that the ancient Great Demon King Satan had risen and was about to destroy the world of Ante Isula once and for all.

Just as the kings have been unwilling to submit to divine power since ancient times, and Ante Isula has ruled for too long, and the angels of the heavenly realm do not need the presence of gods, even if they know who it is.

They are not real angels, and 10,000 years have been enough to make them forget that they are the sinners who stole the power of God.

All this is just a precursor to the coming of God's damnation.

The Dafa Divine Church, which is based in the westernmost part of the Western Continent, has influence not only in the Western Continent, but all over the world, and in addition to being the largest religion of Ante Isura, that power is also manifested in the faith of hundreds of millions of people.

It is not uncommon for the high-ranking priests among them to possess power far greater than that of the minor princes and nobles.

Through the powerful power of faith in the Church, and the divine image of angels in the hearts of the people of Ante Isura, this statement was accepted by the five continents and many countries with great speed.

This was followed by the natural start of emergency mobilization, and the plan to save the world began.

It's just that if you put aside the question of the truth or falsity of the reason that the people of the heavenly realm said, they really belong to the side of the heroes who saved the world.

The Holy Cross Continent's war mobilization ability was once again stimulated, and the last time it was able to burst out with such a huge amount of energy was due to the huge crisis caused by the demon's invasion of the human world.

It has not been a year since the Demonic Calamity passed, and the mechanisms that once worked together between countries and continents have been put back into use in a short period of time.

But even then, there is no way to change what happened next. Colossal catastrophe, in a way that is quite familiar to the people of this world, fell from the sky.

First came fire and brimstone descended on the continent of the Holy Cross, followed by the cracking of the ground and scorching flames gushing out of the ground, and then the resurrection of the lost from their graves.

The earth shook, the sun darkened, the full moon was like blood, and the stars of heaven fell to the earth like a fig tree shaken by a strong wind, and fell unripe fruit.

From a devastated barren land to a barren land that has been divided in two, many well-known areas of the Holy Cross Continent have been completely transformed by the baptism of disaster.

Mountains rose in the sea, the land sank into the sea, and the catastrophe completely changed the landscape of the Holy Cross Continent, leaving indelible scars on the planet.

And, just as there are those who believe in piety, there must be opposing blasphemers, and vice versa.

Although the Dafa Divine Church is the largest religion in the Holy Cross Continent, since it is the largest religion, there must be other religious organizations as objects of comparison, so it is not surprising that even those who hold the opposite concept of it.

"The world is about to be judged!"

"We stand for justice and God's will!"

"Leave the old world behind and embrace the new era!"

There are quite a few new religious organizations that have sprung up all over the world in the midst of disasters, a situation that cannot be eliminated even in the twenty-first century of civilization on Earth, let alone the ignorant and backward magical medieval era.

And the most ironic thing is that some of them have picked up the ancient prophecies of the Holy Cross and made them their core doctrines. No matter what their original intention was, they all happened to tell the truth by mistake.

As soon as the churches and the nations of the continent had organized all their forces, they were first caught in the turmoil of civil war, and were held back by all kinds of disasters, and soon they were in a state of flux.

……

……

This time the disaster is much more difficult to deal with than the demons.

Emilia thought so in her heart, but the holy sword in her hand did not hesitate to slash head-on, bringing a dazzling holy light, killing all the enemies within a distance of hundreds of meters in a straight line.

Those were the dead who had crawled out of the grave, but it was clear that this was not a miracle of the resurrection, but a ...... The grotesque that came out of the nightmare.

Although there are no demons, they are much more terrifying than demons - not in terms of combat effectiveness, but in terms of orders of magnitude and the psychological pressure they bring to people.

The combat effectiveness of the demons is strong, but the number is quite small, and the original Demon King Army is only tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and the number of hundreds of thousands is already up to the sky, after all, the demons who can join the Demon King Army are the most basic conditions for fighting hundreds of ordinary human beings.

If their number is the same as that of humans, let alone the emergence of a legend of the Holy Sword Brave, even if the Angel Legion descends to earth, it will be a wave of defeats to the end.

And now the new DLC loaded on the Holy Cross continent is like this, which can probably be equated to the new expansion "Dawn of the Living Dead", no matter what time it is, there are always more dead than alive.

Unless cremation is practiced, the deceased is only left with ashes, and it is impossible to get up, but on the earth in the 21st century, cremation has not been able to be completely and comprehensively promoted, let alone the Holy Cross continent that is still in the Middle Ages.

When the dead with intact bodies tear open their graves, stagger to their feet, and return to the world in another form of existence, it brings with it boundless horror and nightmares.

They may not be strong in combat, but the psychological pressure they cause to people is much worse than when facing demons, and most importantly, ...... When the living fall, they will soon get up and join them.

After clearing the wilderness of all the living dead, Emilia breathed slightly, not physically tired, but mentally exhausted.

She glanced back at the outline of the town in the distance, then lowered her sword and landed it on the ground, surrounded by fallen corpses.

Not to save the world, nor for humanity.

She was a little dazed now, because she remembered what her mother had told her before—the so-called angels were actually human beings, and their true origins were not much more noble than those of Ante Isura.

It is just a sinner who has stolen the power of God, and when the "God" of this world appears in the destined world, it will be the time when everyone will be judged.

Despite the violent conflict with the woman, Emilia was able to confirm that the other party would not lie to her in this matter, so no matter how nice the church was now, she knew that it was not like that.

I also know how terrible those people in the heavenly realm are, just like a person who has occupied someone else's property for a long time, and finally when the original owner returns, he already takes it for granted that this is his own reasonable property.

- Even if "God" were judging sin, they would still give Him the name of "Satan, the Great Demon King of the Ancients" and call on everyone to help them fight against it.

Emilia's current confusion is because of this, she doesn't know where she is now, which side is wrong?

The girl subconsciously felt that if it was a huge disaster that affected the entire world, then it had to be stopped no matter what, which was the first thought in her heart. But she was also a former knight of the Church and was educated in the ideas of the Church.

It's like the kind of psychological pressure that Suzuno Kamakagi once wanted to rebel against Shaliye.

She is not like the shameless people in the church, as long as it is for her own interests, then no matter how good the dogma she said before, she can directly trample on it, and now she is also confused about right and wrong.

And not long ago, the girl was disgusted by the fate of the brave she was arranged, and now it is normal to have a rebellious rejection.

"In the end...... What should I do? ”

Muttering to herself, the girl lifted her sword and turned to walk in the direction of the town.

Because of the change in appearance, coupled with the deliberate concealment of her identity, no one knows that she is the brave Amilia. It's just that the essence doesn't seem to have changed, as evidenced by the fact that the holy sword still exists in her body, for example.

But even though she doesn't know who the girl who has exchanged "appearances" with her is, Emilia is still keenly aware of the slightest change.

She seems to be getting stronger and stronger, approaching someone who has this "outside". It was an unimaginable speed, each day more than twice as powerful as the day before.

Vaguely, the girl had a bad feeling, she was keenly aware that she seemed to be once again under the guidance of some great will, and became a role like the savior?

She didn't want to do that at all, why wouldn't anyone respect her own wishes?!

At this time-

There seemed to be a strange and penetrating sound at the end of the sky, low in timbre but quite vast in range, as if coming from the sky and falling from above.

It was like the sound of a trumpet in the army, echoing throughout the heavens and the earth, and striking heavily on everyone's hearts for a while.

Not only the brave girl, but the entire Holy Cross Continent heard it, and they raised their heads blankly to look at the sky, as if they wanted to find out the specific source of that sound, and to judge what it represented.

No matter who it is, as long as you can still think, you will feel a "pop" in your heart, and there is a rather bad feeling.

Amilia's face was a little solemn, as the corpses around her crawled up again, and this time they no longer seemed to be just walking dead, as if they were real ...... Alive?

This is the sign that the archangel sounded the trumpet, and the last judgment was coming.
