So I'm a sheep.

The man's face was expressionless, but he remained silent.

"I'm wondering, do these decisions truly reflect the will of the great God of All Machines, or the will of certain individuals within the Unifying Agency?"

The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "How dare they?!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Why wouldn't you dare?"

"Anyway, they are all 'substandard products', they are all 'garbage'."

"If we get rid of them, the God of All Things might be even happier."

"Silence! Do not blaspheme my Lord!"

The sage was panting heavily, staring intently at the indifferent-looking girl.

“I think you shouldn’t yell at me, but rather yell at those ‘big shots’ who decided to abandon the Steel City.”

"Of course, just shouting might not be enough."

"If only I could kick those guys' asses hard and put them all to trial..."

Volume 1: Chapter 217 The Day of Choice

"I don't have that ability, I know my own limitations!" The sage clutched his head.

"You're not capable now. Who knows what you'll be like in the future."

"Didn't Albert say on the phone that you, Sage, will be groomed as a key member?"

"Even if I become a key member, it's useless; I'm all alone..."

"Who said you're a person?"

The young girl interrupted him: "There must be like-minded comrades in the unified command."

“Sage, you should not die in obscurity in the steel city.”

"You are to go to the Unifying Agency and start a war!"

Sasha's words did indeed shake the sage's resolve; he couldn't stand the way the higher authorities didn't value human life.

It is in line with my own desire to work together with like-minded comrades to reform the unified organization and strive towards such a great goal.

but......

What will become of the steel city?

The sage stared into the little girl's eyes: "For the sake of future 'important matters,' do you want me to abandon my compatriots in the Steel City?"

Those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trivial matters.

"That's a pity, Sasha, I'm not the kind of person who can achieve great things."

“Sage, you are really both smelly and stubborn.”

The little girl couldn't help but laugh: "Stop staring at me. The one who can save the Steel City isn't me, but the one behind me."

That cold-blooded and tyrannical Protoss?

Impossible! How could she possibly have the compassion to save her own people?

"Helen, what do you say?" Sasha turned to look at her friend.

"..."

"Can't we just throw the Steel City into the nearby world?"

Upon hearing this, the sage was stunned.

Could this mean they are willing to lend a helping hand?

Hey, stop spacing out!

The young girl shoved the man: "Helen is asking you a question."

"If we throw it into a nearby world, what if the evil god comes knocking again?"

"The farther the better, so far that even the evil god will lose patience in searching for it."

"Ah, it can't be a world with extremely harsh living conditions either."

"It must be habitable for humans!"

"They have quite a few requirements."

Helen frowned: "Either stay away from the spirits, or live in a superior environment. It's one or the other."

Stay away from evil gods

Without any hesitation, the sage gave the answer directly.

“I agree to this. After you go to the Unification Agency with them, I will immediately move the entire Steel City away.”

Seeing the man relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted, Helen warned, "I will keep an eye on you, so don't let me down."

"If one day you forget your ideals, even if you are already in a high position in the Unified Organization, I will definitely make you suffer!"

"I don't know if I will disappoint you in the future, but unless I die, I will never stop moving forward," the man said solemnly.

"Okay, then I'll trust you this once."

.................................................. .........

In just a few days, the once bustling shelter of Aran fell completely silent.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and all the shops were closed.

The reason it turned out this way...

Just look up and you'll see why!

Countless strange insects clung to the light screen. In the past, they would be instantly drained of their life force, but now they were completely unharmed.

There were so many of these alien insects that they were layered on top of each other, to the point that almost no light could penetrate the shelter.

Looking up at such a terrifying scene, who would dare to go out?

"Great Goddess, your radiance shines upon the world."

“The devout will be saved. Don’t be afraid.”

"Goddess, Goddess, please bless me."

Every household was praying, and they dared not stop for a moment, for fear that if they stopped, they would be judged as 'unfilial' by the angels who were about to arrive.

Click, click, click.

A series of cracking sounds came from the sky, and many people trembled with fear.

'This is terrible, I... I can't take it anymore.'

'The end of the world is coming!'

'I don't want to die...'

"Ladies and gentlemen, the day of choice has arrived."

The little girl's voice rang in everyone's ears, and in that instant, people seemed to see: from beyond the world, a long path of light built by countless angels was spreading toward this place.

The next moment, intense light enveloped the shelter, and countless alien insects outside the light barrier were reduced to ashes.

"To leave or to stay?" A solemn voice echoed in the hearts of devout believers.

"leave!"

"leave"

I want to leave.

"leave!"

"Leaving, I really want to see a new world."

"leave!"

The other option, 'stay,' was considered superfluous by most believers. They chose to leave without hesitation, and their souls were drawn away from their bodies by the light.

Thump, thump...

One by one, people fell to the ground, each with a joyful smile on their face.

...................................................

Logically speaking, only a fool would choose to stay if given the chance for redemption.

However, humans are very complex creatures.

Adelaide's decision to offer the option of 'staying' was based on his own considerations.

"..."

Looking at his uneasy wife beside him, Andrew's heart sank.

He had already heard a voice telling him to make a choice, but...

"Honey, did you hear anything just now?"

“I heard the bishop’s voice. She said something about ‘the day of choice has come.’”

"and then?"

"And then, what else?"

"Ugh"

Andrew sighed: "How many times have I told you to have faith in the great goddess? Why won't you listen?"

"I believe it."

"Every night before I go to sleep, I read a passage from the scriptures..."

The woman's voice grew softer and softer, and she soon covered her face and began to cry.

"Andrew, are you leaving?"

"..."
