Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Ciel held her hand and said, "I hope we can always be happy like this."

"I know you are gentle, kind, and love to help others."

"However, not everyone in the world deserves help. Similarly, your strength is limited, and you can't help with everything."

"As long as it ensures safety and does not affect your life, I have no objection to your kind deeds."

"but now..."

Charles stroked her head, then gently guided her gaze to the sleeping Lily and Lorna.

"You have not only me in you, but also others."

"How sad they would be if you encountered any danger."

"Lily and Lorna have lost their parents, the nuns who always loved them, and even the things that girls care about most."

"Mernadè, you don't want them to lose you again, do you?"

Mernadette shook her head slightly, but Shixian told Charles that she had her own ideas.

"Brother, I don't think I should think this way." Her tone was firm.

"If everyone was like this, only thinking about themselves and their families, then me, Lily, Lorna, none of us would be like this now."

They were all born in orphanages and survived thanks to the kindness and mercy of the nuns.

"Grandpa Ende said that the nun had a very comfortable life before, and she didn't need to leave Danlin District to come here." Danlin District is a district where the middle class of Moroston gathers. It can be said to be two different worlds from the slums.

"When she adopted me, the nun fell seriously ill. She should have given me up at that time and used the remaining money to find a doctor. That way, she wouldn't have passed away early because of the root cause of the disease."

"When she adopted Lily and Lorna, the nun already realized she couldn't hold on for much longer. But she still chose to bring them to the orphanage."

During that time, Mernadè could often hear the nun's whispers.

【I really don’t know whether my choice is right or wrong. 】

【Perhaps for them, leaving this world without knowing anything is a very happy thing.】

[But... I think it would be too cruel for such a cute little life to leave without seeing the bright side of this world.]

If you choose to keep them, they may die in the future due to many reasons, but if you choose to leave, they will die soon.

Most people in the welfare home are like this.

Mernadette is not the first, and Lily and Lorna will not be the last.

"I, we all live with the help of others, so when others need help, I also want to be like a nun."

She never considered anything in return.

She hoped that this kindness could be conveyed through the nuns and herself.

If only one of the people they help can pass on their kindness and gentleness like they do, it will be worth it for them.

Because they truly feel that the world is "changing" because of them.

"I think... at this moment, there must be many people who still have a lingering attachment to this world."

"I, I don't really have the ability to do much, I just thought maybe I could find people like that in some ruins." "Just like the nun helped me, I'll help them."

"The nun said... that one night many years ago, when she saw me abandoned at the door, she wanted to turn a blind eye because of her lung disease."

"But my eyes touched her, and she thought that although the pain in her body was painful, it was bearable. But if she gave up on me, she would feel guilty for a long time. For her, this kind of pain is the most unbearable."

The eyes?

Charles's hand, which was stroking Melnadè's head, paused.

At that time, was she also moved by my eyes, so she chose to reach out and give me a chance?

As an ordinary person, Charles found it difficult to understand what supported kind and gentle people like Mernadè and the nuns to do the things they did.

However, looking at Mernadè's eyes at this moment, he felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

At that time, Mernadè chose to accept herself in the filth.

Now, what reason did he have to stop her from helping others?

Do people always live with the help of others?

So today, having received help from others, perhaps I also need to do something.

Charles had never expected that he, who was wholeheartedly trying to correct Mernadette and make her become the person he liked, would be infected by her at this time.

"You can do whatever you want." Charles picked her up and kissed her on the cheek. "But I will go with you."

"Brother!" Mernadette grabbed Charles' arm nervously.

She survived with the help of others, so she felt she had an obligation to help others.

But Charles was different.

She didn't want Charles to take risks because of her.

"Not just you, I've also received help from many people."

"Perhaps those who helped me need me to help them now."

"But..."

"Don't worry, brother... I'm very strong."

As soon as the words fell, the airship that was raging in the sky suddenly stopped.

Then, as if an eraser had erased everything, all the airships disappeared into the air.

A demigod who thought he had caught a fish suddenly appeared, but before he could say anything, half of his body was wiped off.

Hotrat, the two sides in the confrontation, suddenly found that the world was surrounded by green without them knowing when.

The ears of wheat grow rapidly, and their nutrients are anything that can harm each other.

Weapons, armor, supernatural powers, and even thoughts!

"A thousand miles of fertile land cannot satisfy you."

"What about Wanli?"

The emerald green light, accompanied by Charles's calm voice, swept across the earth, rushing towards the places where the Kingdom of Bonn, the Kingdom of Ende, and the Kingdom of Sikovis were located.

Weapons are decaying, thinking is changing, the extraordinary is disappearing, and fear is growing.

On this day, people once again remembered the fear of being dominated by gods.

On this day, under the busy expansion of the emerald green light, all beings, from demigods to common people, are equal.

On this day, the whole world was speechless, and everyone's attention slowly shifted from their own little piece of land to here.

From God?

Or maybe...the true God?

They don't know who did all this.

But they knew that a new era was coming.

Chapter 121: There Has Never Been a Savior

Smoke once again billowed from the chimney of the Moroston factory.

After the heavy snow, the number of people on the black muddy road gradually increased.

The pain that war brings to people is difficult to heal, but under the cover of heavy snow, the city does not look like it has just experienced the bombardment of airships. On the contrary, it has some unique beauty.

There was a time when Charles was particularly fond of heavy snow, probably before he came into this world.

For him at that time, a heavy snow in winter always brought him a good mood.

There was a time when he particularly hated heavy snow. That was when he had just come into this world.

The dilapidated thatched house was leaking wind, snow and rain everywhere. At that time, he hated any weather that was not sunny and kind.

For those wandering around Moroston at this time, the snow came at the wrong time.

Its arrival has created a slight hindrance to post-disaster rescue and reconstruction work.

Rescue work in the central and inner city areas has made some progress thanks to the efforts of the military and police, but no one is coming and going in the outer city areas and civilian areas that have suffered the most damage.

"Take a break." Looking at Mernadette, whose hands were red from the cold and still struggling on the ruins, Charles handed her some hot water.

He had just found some firewood and used it to boil the hot water himself.

Because of the bonfire and hot water, some people gradually gathered around.

But they just stayed by the campfire and stared blankly at their surroundings. Not everyone had a big heart.

The wounds on my body, the lost family members and friends, the collapsed houses...

The pain caused by all this made everything they had been hoping for vanish into thin air, and many people even lost the courage to live.

Mernadette took the hot water handed to her by Charles and took a sip, but still shook her head.

Charles took out a hot water bottle and put it on her cheek, then dug through the rubble with her.

A faint breathing sound reached the ears of Charles and Melnadette. They looked at each other and then their movements began to become gentler.

Soon, in a corner of the ruins below them, they saw a child sleeping soundly in a leaky crib.

He was lucky enough to be placed in the corner.

When the house collapsed, due to the angle, he was buried under the rubble, but miraculously he did not suffer serious injuries.

You know, in that situation, any falling brick or tile could take his life.

"He fell asleep because he cried too much." Mernadette covered the crib with the relatively dry cotton jacket again to provide protection.

There was a hint of maternal compassion and a hint of worry in her eyes.

Although no one was hurt in the explosion.

However, after the house collapsed, the only remaining firewood pile inside was obviously no longer able to provide heating for the ruins. Heavy snow and cold winds blew, and although the firewood was buried under the ruins, the snow water or cold wind would still be transmitted through the gaps.

The crying lasted too long and the coldness took its toll.

Although he is lucky enough, it is not certain whether he can survive.

Mernadette picked up the cup of hot water, tasted the temperature of the water with her lips, and then carefully fed some to him.

"elder brother.."

"I'll take him to see a doctor first." Charles took the child and said to Mernadette.

However, when he turned around, the child in his arms was "snatched" away.

"Child...this is my child!" A dirty and disheveled woman holding the baby in her arms said loudly to Charles.

Ciel fell silent.

He could see that the child of the person in front of him had left her, and at the same time he could see a hand reaching towards the corner of the wall on the other side of the ruins that had just been dug up.

Although he failed to protect his child, his first reaction before death came was to run towards the corner, but unfortunately he was still a step too late.

Otherwise, perhaps he could be rescued by Charles and Melnadette along with his child.

"Kid...why aren't you talking...are you hungry?"

"Don't be anxious...Mom will feed you milk right away..." The middle-aged woman gently lifted up her clothes and fed the little one in front of her.

"Wa-wa--" Perhaps her movements startled the other person, or perhaps the familiar smell of food made the dying child use up his last bit of strength and cry out.

"Be good...don't cry...Mommy will feed you..." the middle-aged woman said softly while rocking the child in her arms.

At the same time, it seemed that the noise here had disturbed the surroundings, and those who were sitting there in a daze slowly turned their attention to the middle-aged woman and the child in her arms.

In the corner, a man who was also dressed in rags seemed to have thought of something. He ran away like crazy and then rummaged through the ruins.

His behavior was like a fuse, and many people slowly stood up.

Maybe their families are no longer around, maybe there is no meaning in their lives anymore.

but...
