Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Chapter 238 Civilization Catastrophe

There, Lawrence Jael was tied tightly and his mouth was stuffed with cotton, unable to make any sound.

Later, Li Ming felt the monster's heart, which was wrapped in cyan metal, and found that it was still beating vigorously, showing no signs of weakness.

This made him wonder. If there was no intervention, would it be possible for the tentacle demon to achieve rebirth with the help of this tough heart?

While a few people were spending their days leisurely in the villa, there was a storm outside.

The bells of the cathedrals rang in unison, and the archbishops stood up one after another and publicly condemned human greed with righteous words, claiming that it was this greed that had caused the sacred land to be seriously polluted.

They denounced those capitalist entrepreneurs as the incarnation of the devil, polluting this originally pure land.

What is even more striking is that the archbishops also claimed that the gods have sent messengers to the world and will soon impose severe divine punishment on greedy humans who destroy and pollute the environment.

This news was like a bombshell, instantly detonating the public opinion of the entire society.

At the same time, the news dominated the front pages of major newspapers.

They all reported that tomorrow, the divine envoys would be ordered by the gods to carry out divine punishments on those sinful humans.

This news undoubtedly added fuel to the already boiling public opinion and plunged the entire society into a state of tension and uneasiness.

Of course, although the voices of the archbishops are as loud as those of Hong Zhong and Da Lu, there are also endless voices of doubt.

In particular, intellectuals such as entrepreneurs, scientists, and teachers from all walks of life have expressed deep doubts about this series of rhetoric.

They raised powerful questions and challenges to the so-called "divine punishment" through logical analysis, scientific argumentation, or from the perspective of educational enlightenment.

Some radical scholars also said sharply that this incident was a long-planned move by the Holy See to restore feudalism, and they expressed strong condemnation and dissatisfaction with this.

But this time, the confidence shown by the church was stronger than ever before, because they had indeed witnessed the appearance of divine messengers that could not be explained by common sense.

The oppressive aura exuded by the divine messenger cannot be faked or imitated by any human being.

Although the two sides argued extremely fiercely, most people still maintained a dubious attitude and chose to wait and see neutrally.

They believed that if the divine messenger really appeared and sent down punishment, then its authenticity would be self-evident.

On the contrary, if none of this happened, then the so-called divine messengers and punishments would naturally be self-defeating.

The next morning, the sun was rising.

Workers at the Sealand Steel Plant were busy filing in through the factory gate as usual, ready to start their new day's work.

Suddenly, a huge figure floated above the factory out of thin air, more than ten meters tall, and its whole body was tightly wrapped in dazzling golden armor. It was like the arrival of the God of War, exuding a daunting majestic aura.

The moment the workers who had not yet stepped through the gate caught a glimpse of the majestic figure, the thought of the arrival of a divine envoy appeared in their hearts.

Just as they were stunned for a moment, the golden-armored divine envoy in the sky waved his hand slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a loud rumbling sound was like a thunderbolt, shaking everyone's eardrums.

Under this irresistible force, the majestic and huge steel plant was instantly razed to the ground and completely reduced to a pile of ashes.

The workers witnessed all this happening in horror, their eyes filled with disbelief and deep fear.

When everyone recovered from the extreme panic, the figure of the golden-armored divine envoy had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared before.

The same shocking scene continues to be staged in Zealand and even around the world.

Whether it was factories, mines, schools, or libraries, all building facilities were completely destroyed by this mysterious force and turned into ruins.

What is even more tragic is that scientists, scholars, teachers and other intellectuals who have made great contributions to social progress were also massacred on a large scale in this catastrophe.

Of course, big-capital entrepreneurs have received special attention.

Almost none of them survived, and some even suffered annihilation, and the entire family was ruthlessly wiped out.

As for the workers who lost their lives in factories and mines, and the students who died in colleges, their numbers are even more numerous.

The blood fell like a sad red rain, dyeing the earth red.

At this moment, facing such a tragic scene, no one dared to question the existence of the gods. There was only deep awe and fear in people's hearts.

Churches became the last refuges into which people flocked for protection.

Governments around the world also issued public statements as soon as the disaster occurred, solemnly promising to strictly implement the will of the gods and make every effort to protect this sacred land and ensure that it is free from any form of pollution.

They said they would take all necessary measures to protect the purity and sanctity of this land together with all people.

When Li Ming led a group of people onto the metal spaceship and slowly took off, the Fuming Villa under their feet had been reduced to ashes.

This super-large family, which had been glorious for hundreds of years and had a long heritage, finally disappeared completely in this unprecedented catastrophe and was submerged in the long river of history.

On the spaceship, Cecily noticed that Li Ming's face was solemn, as if his mood was greatly affected.

Then he comforted him softly: "Little man, you did nothing wrong. Compared with the devastating disaster caused by the exposure of the cave, this pain is nothing worth mentioning."

Xingmei also nodded in agreement: "When the memories of this generation gradually fade and disappear, the so-called gods will eventually be just a distant legend, and no one will care."

"You are overthinking. I don't regret what I did, nor do I feel guilty." Li Ming exhaled softly and said calmly.

Cecily asked doubtfully: "Since you don't feel guilty, why are you still so depressed?"

"Because..." Li Ming lowered his head, his voice slightly dull, "Today my hands are stained with the blood of millions of people, but my heart doesn't fluctuate much, which makes me feel a little uneasy."

Cecily and Xingmei exchanged glances with each other. Both of them were a little confused. Isn't this a sign of a strong state of mind?

After a while, Xingmei asked in a cautious tone: "Li Ming, are you worried that your thoughts or emotions will change in some way?"

"Absolutely." Li Ming nodded gently, "Maybe it's because my strength has increased so much in a short period of time, which has caused me to be a little unbalanced in my mentality. But you don't have to worry about me, I will adjust myself."

Cecily couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I'm not worried about you. Your mood is a little abnormal, and you start to reflect on yourself. With your mental quality, it is too difficult to cause problems."
