I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

With a dull thud, the Holy King came into close contact with the ground, leaving an obvious human-shaped dent on the stone slab. The Holy King was obviously stunned by the fall.

This was not over yet. Soke grabbed one of the Saint King's legs, roared, and threw him left and right, smashing him to pieces. This scene also stunned Soke.

While Sok was stunned, the statue of the Holy King in the center of the hall suddenly burst into light and pulled Sok into it. The red giant of unknown height appeared in front of him again.

It turns out that the previous one was just the phantom of the Holy King in the human world, and his true identity was the red giant in the dream from beginning to end.

At this time, its whole body was covered with a huge and gorgeous fully enclosed silver armor, and the golden sword in its hand also suddenly grew to more than ten meters and became a giant sword, bringing people a deep sense of oppression and despair.

Most people don't even have the desire to fight such a huge giant, and they just want to prostrate themselves devoutly at its feet.

The golden sword body was inlaid with precious gems, and a huge eyeball on it was staring at Sok. It was more of a ceremonial object than a weapon.

However, although the thick silver armor provided it with nearly invincible defense, the completely enclosed armor also bound its mobility like a cage, and it could only control the golden sword as a substitute to attack Sok.

An expert could tell the outcome with just one move. The expected fierce battle did not happen. The giant Saint King's weak attack method was not even as gorgeous and terrifying as before. Instead, it completely destroyed the supreme momentum he had created before.

The huge eye on the golden sword became the only way for the Holy King to see the outside world when he was hiding in his armor. It can also be seen from this that the Holy King is just a symbol.

Anyone wearing this armor can be a holy king, anyone can be a child of miracle.

Every time Sok destroyed the eyeball on the golden sword, the Giant Saint King would open his sealed mask to reveal his red face that represented death by burning, and look at the outside world to attack Sok. This also became his weakness.

Although every attack of its bulky body was powerful and seemed able to kill Sok with one blow, more than 95% of the attacks failed to hit the opponent.

Even though he had no choice but to be hit, Sok, with the support of the two gods behind him, was in an invincible state where he could be immortal and could be resurrected even after death. He beat the Holy King out of his invincible silver armor, forcing him to wake up from his dream and transform into a five-armed giant to escape.

What Sok was waiting for was the moment when he broke free from the armor. When he tried to escape, a holy light descended from the sky and fixed him firmly, unable to break free. The evil blade pierced into the chest of the red giant and cut it in half. Everything of the Holy King was cut off and absorbed by the evil blade.

Watching the Holy King Ascribal disappearing in the wind, Sok fell to the ground and stared at the evil blade in his hand in a daze. Everything seemed to be going too smoothly, and it was not the life-and-death scene he had imagined.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this. A high status does not necessarily mean strong combat power. Moreover, the Holy King is not a god, but just a miracle, and the Blade of Evil has the restraining effect of cutting off miracles.

In fact, if it weren’t for him, it would be difficult for others to get in front of the Holy King.

The Holy Light Church can only seal the special ability of the power of miracles but cannot kill it. Ordinary people are crushed at the source and have no ability to resist the Holy King.

These personality issues were resolved by the Divine Will and Medea. When the divine power initially manifested by the Holy King could not work on Sok, and the power of miracles was also targeted by the power of the Divine Will, his fate was already doomed.

Sok's ending is also...

Holy light descended from the sky and illuminated the metal mask on Sok's face, and the three-headed Holy Trinity appeared before him.

【The confessor, the one who sees our existence. 】

【We are the Supreme Will.】

【Any miracle comes from our desire, not our reaction. 】

[The oracle who first became flesh and then became holy is not our oracle.]

This is the inevitable procession of the world, a realm woven with the threads of dreams. In this realm, the faithful are united in a single, uninterrupted worship.

[It will give us light and time, it will make us eternal. ]

【Go straight to heaven! 】

【including you.】

The three heads of the Holy Trinity finished speaking one by one, and a hole appeared in the sky. Inside, there were birds singing, flowers blooming, and green trees shading the trees. It was a peaceful scene. The prototypes of miracles that Sok had killed before, the suffering men, women, old and young, were all comfortably waving to him.

Seven holy infants flew out of the cave, five of them pulled white ribbons and descended in front of Sok and put them in his arms. Then they slowly pulled the ribbons and wanted to take him to the other side of the dream, that is, heaven.

The other two wanted to snatch away the evil blade in his hand.

"slow!"

Chapter 461 Eternal Curse

A clear shout stopped the Saint Infants' actions, and the women walked into the Holy Hall. Taiya glanced at the three huge heads floating in the sky, and whispered to Sok who turned his head, "Everything is an illusion. The Saint King is just a puppet. If you accept the Ascension, you will be the next Saint King."

"According to the instructions of the Queen of the Alliance, Emir Sok has made great contributions. More than 600 members of the Emir family have been automatically promoted to first-class citizens of the Alliance and enjoy all the subsidies and allowances that first-class citizens have."

There was a sudden look of joy in Soke's eyes, and then a hint of struggle flashed across his face.

First-class citizens are the highest-class citizens of the alliance and have full rights and benefits.

First class means that the people and their descendants born within the total territory after the establishment of the alliance automatically enjoy a full range of welfare subsidies.

2 years of basic literacy, 12 years of compulsory education, 6 years of advanced education with no tuition or miscellaneous fees, military service quota, and 10 years of compensation insurance advance payment subsidy from birth to adulthood. Such as the most basic pension insurance.

The second class refers to foreign senior talents, friends who have made outstanding contributions and their children, and the general public who have been naturalized for a short time.

The third group is foreign multinational workers and international students, who enjoy the lowest welfare benefits.

Before this, the Emir family only had the lowest level of resident status. Apart from the most basic 9 years of education, they had to pay for other expenses such as public facilities and insurance coverage in various fields by themselves.

Without reimbursement subsidies, if one wants to be treated like a first-class citizen, insurance expenditures will be a heavy burden within the alliance. Not to mention commercial insurance, just the five basic insurances of medical care, education, childbirth, accident, and pension, as well as housing provident fund, cannot be saved a penny.

Among the five insurances, pension insurance is the so-called compensation insurance

Indemnity insurance is the insurance model of most modern countries. The most representative of these is pension. The basic operating logic is that the pension pool invested in the salary while working will be paid to your future self.

Of course, this is generally nonsense. All they can say is that they will give you some money at that time, but it is not certain how much.

After all, no one knows who will be in charge half a century from now, whether they will still recognize the responsibility, whether the working population will be larger than the retired population at that time, and whether the difference can be compensated.

In any case, it is definitely not enough under normal circumstances, and it basically only solves the issue of whether there is a pension or not.

Therefore, in the current situation of the Union's abundant finances, compensatory pensions are accumulated by direct taxation, not connected to individual citizens. Instead, a percentage tax is added to the consumption side, and the more luxurious the goods, the heavier the consumption tax.

After being collected, the central government of the alliance will take the lead in extracting a fixed proportion of the tax repatriation and transferring it to the public fund pool account as future pension expenditures, replacing large fixed expenditures with accumulated consumption.

Under this model, the compensatory pension fund pool will not be too large, and the amount of money paid out will not be much, at most guaranteeing the most basic survival needs. However, this is also the limit of compensatory insurance. After all, the model itself is not a reliable thing.

What is related to the real life of the elderly in the future is the state-owned commercial trust insurance. You can open an account and invest money into it. The Alliance Commercial Department will be the main responsible department for various investments, and the profits will be distributed as dividends.

It is impossible for this super cash cow to suffer losses as it only makes the lowest-risk investments. Whether it earns a lot or a little, it can basically provide customers with a relatively good return as a guarantee for their old age life.

Although the money for compensatory pension insurance is just a drop in the bucket, the ten-year compensation subsidy unique to first-class citizens is a very good benefit, because it is calculated directly from the year the infant is born, and the union pays ten years of consumption tax in cash at one time, which is commonly known as the government giving money when you have a child.

This amount of money will not be diluted too much by the large base of citizens of the alliance, but it can just bring a certain degree of relief to the economic pressure of families with children. It can also be invested in commercial accounts and held by the state for investment.

Citizens of other levels cannot say anything, because strictly speaking, all areas of first-class citizens are open to all citizen residents, and they can enjoy the same treatment as long as they pay a small amount of money.

Only first-class citizens receive official subsidies or payments. They do not need to spend the money themselves but it is paid by the government, and they enjoy the benefits.

If you want to complain that it is unfair, people will also have something to say, because the basic rules are the same, that is, the threshold seen by the lowest residents is the rule, and the 123 citizen levels are incentive-like subsidies.

Rewards are based on honor and contribution, so the decision of whether to give or not, and to whom to give it lies in the hands of the state.

It's like this: I have something that you don't, and with the increase and decrease of time, the quality of life of both parties has widened. Insurance is just one aspect of it.

Residents like Soke whose family’s hometown is written on their map only enjoy the most basic human rights treatment, nothing more.

Of course, Soke doesn't really care about these material rewards; what he cares about is the implicit meaning behind them.

In the final analysis, the basic base of the Alliance's first-class citizens are the native people who have completely integrated into the Namitian cultural output during the pre-Seris Federation period. The differential treatment is to increase the population base of the native people with unified thinking, while at the same time maximizing their enthusiasm for protecting the Alliance as a main body.

This entity is also the main source of supplements for the alliance's army, culture, and ZZ.

Having enjoyed the greatest possible preferential treatment, they will also spontaneously safeguard the fundamental interests of the alliance, because the honor and disgrace interests of both parties are deeply intertwined.

If the Emir family received this reward and was promoted to first-class citizens, they would be real members of the alliance, and all other hidden barriers would disappear, and they would be completely accepted by the alliance.

There is no doubt that this is an opportunity to completely change the family's destiny.

Thinking of the eager look of the clan leader's father before he left, he had great expectations for these family members who were entering the Legion of Redemption. If their lives remained unchanged, they would probably completely perish in less than fifty years along with the village that seemed to be locked in the cracks of time.

The Emir family, which was once extremely glorious and brilliant, has become short-sighted due to lack of adequate education. The poor and numb life has also cut off their vision for the future.

If they want to continue their bloodline, they have to hold their noses and ask for marriage from rural women. Even because of the sensitivity of their status and material poverty, even rural women of slightly better quality will not consider them.

Decades of time have been like a slow process, carving away bit by bit all the things they were proud of. Perhaps their glorious past will become a topic of conversation for their descendants, who will not believe in it at all, let alone have any sense of honor or disgrace.

There is no more humiliating way to die.

As the future Emir, he must and can only choose the future that is most beneficial to the family, even if it means sacrificing himself.

His personal life and the hatred of his family being destroyed all seemed so insignificant...

It also has to be insignificant.

After making up his mind, Sok pulled the evil blade back from the Holy Child's hand and looked up at the Holy Trinity.

[You brought sin to the most sacred place, which is forbidden by God. Are you here to atone for your sins or to make an end?]

Sok did not answer, and slowly raised the blade in his hand.

【Destroy our bodies, that was once the oracle. 】

[But now all you need is your silence to make us bow our heads and overshadow the miracles. ]

【Therefore, our final wish is that you will be eternally atonement. 】

[Whether alive or dead, hungry or thirsty, asleep or awake, your flesh and blood will be buried under layers of ashes, your face will be abominable, and your name will be forgotten by the world.]

[This is the price of blasphemy, and no amount of repentance can forgive this sin.]

【Until forever! 】

Chapter 462 The Failed Father

【No repentance can forgive this sin. Forever!】

At the curse of the Holy Trinity, Sok jumped up, holding the sword in both hands and stabbed the evil blade into one of the giant eyes. The nearly invincible and invulnerable Holy Trinity was easily blinded in one eye by the evil blade that could cut off the miracle of sin.

'Oh...'

Sok saw pleading and panic in the remaining five eyes of the Holy Trinity. He couldn't help but let out a faint sneer, drew out his sword and chopped down the middle head from forehead to chin.

The three faces of the Holy Trinity instantly began to melt away layer by layer from the skin, flesh, and bones. Intense energy light gushed out of the five orifices and exploded into nothingness. Not a trace of the Holy Trinity remained.

'it's over'

Sok stood there, staring at the clear sky in a daze. In a trance, the twisted saint who was forever bound to the wooden staff appeared in front of him. His twisted arms that were tied behind his back like branches were loosened. The saint stretched out his dry branch-like hands and gently brushed the mask on Sok's face, and then his whole body broke apart and turned into dust.

Sok and the evil blade in his hand began to dissipate bit by bit.

Therefore, everything about the Holy Trinity and the Miracle of Pain will be truly liberated from death after the death of the Holy Trinity, which naturally includes Sok himself, who has undergone the miracle and transformed into an immortal body.

Even powerful beings are often unable to resist the collapse from within. The knife that the Holy Trinity gave to Sok to cut off miracles also cut itself.

Looking down at his slowly disappearing body, Soke felt no wavering in his heart. He did not want to work for the Alliance, did not want the Alliance to benefit from it, but he had no other choice.
