From Kagetane's mouth, Yang Tao heard another version of Tendō Kikunojyō.
Although he possesses immense power and authority, he still holds Seitenshi in great respect.
However, because his wife died in the Gastrea Virus war, he hates Gastrea Virus and Cursed Children, secretly opposing the "New Gastrea Law."
"Did you participate in the Cursed Children's experimental plan?"
Seitenshi shook her head and said, "Ten years ago, I was only eight years old. After my father died in the Gastrea war, I inherited his position, and everything has been handled by Tendō Kikunojyō..."
Yang Tao walked to the side, sat down on a stone, and his gaze shifted back and forth across the faces of the three.
One idealist protagonist, one mascot in power, and one... er, breathing creature.
To put it bluntly, as long as these three people are eliminated, the plot of this world will completely collapse.
"Blue Bird, come here!"
He stretched out his hand and placed it on Blue Bird, and surging power of faith poured into its body.
Bishop Blue Bird
2.99 million / 2.99 million
The re-enhanced Blue Bird did not continue to grow larger; instead, it reverted to its original palm-sized form. Its feathers shimmered like sapphires, even appearing translucent under the reflection of the bonfire.
"Blue Bird, begin. Control everything you can control. Scan everyone's memories and select all those who have persecuted the Cursed Children."
The guilty will be judged; the innocent will enjoy the lives they deserve.
"Okay!"
Blue Bird radiated brilliant light, and a colossal, sky-obscuring projection appeared in the sky.
With its mental enhancement, it might not be able to directly control the entire globe at full power, but controlling the people on the four Japanese islands was effortless.
Looking at Seitenshi and the protagonist Rentarō, Yang Tao hesitated slightly before continuing, "Release control over Seitenshi and Rentaro."
In an instant, the expressions on their faces became lively.
"You... what do you want to do?"
"I don't know whether this world is right or wrong, so I can only change it my own way."
Yang Tao stood up and looked at Seitenshi with calm eyes, then walked over and placed his hand on her body.
Priest Seitenshi
"You can manage this world on my behalf. Your term will last until these children grow up."
Seitenshi is a pure tool. Her idealistic thoughts and his powerful strength might give birth to a perfect world.
Seitenshi immediately knelt before Yang Tao, a hint of hesitation on her face: "I... I'm afraid I might disappoint your expectations..."
"Could it be worse than it is now?"
Rentarō looked at Seitenshi, saying anxiously, "What did you do to Seitenshi?"
As he spoke, he rushed towards Yang Tao.
But Yang Tao, who already understood everything, had no interest in explaining to him.
"Blue Bird, clear all his memories of me..."
A 'true' sudden fall, Rentarō collapsed to the ground without warning, unconscious.
"Master, the four cities have a population of 27 million. According to your idea, about 7 million people meet your standards..."
Still so many? You know, before the so-called Gastrea war, Japan's population was only 120 million...
"7 million, hehe, fewer scumbags than I expected..."
As he predicted, only a portion of the people deserved to die, which was why he didn't directly throw a whirlwind torpedo when he arrived.
However, the situation here in Japan is indeed not optimistic; on average, one out of every four people has participated in incidents of persecuting others.
Of course, victims are not simply referring to Cursed Children.
However, more people will only blindly follow those who speak out; this is also human nature...
"It's a pity for this world to be abandoned... Let the people from Wandering Earth come over, and then send those scumbags to Warhammer to enjoy life. When they die on the battlefield, it can be considered a fitting end..."
The only difference is whether they die at the hands of demons or Tyranids...
Summoning a wooden door, Yang Tao turned and walked in. Soon, under Yang Tao's command, small transport ships flew out of the wooden door. Their mission was to bring back all the Cursed Children from all cities.
He glanced at Seitenshi.
"You go back first. Stabilize the government. Such mental control is not a long-term solution."
Clean out the corrupt high-ranking officials, then inject fresh blood, clear out all Gastrea Virus creatures, and then gather all souls.
Seitenshi nodded lightly and turned to walk towards the city. With her current strength, it wouldn't take long for her to return to the Holy Residence.
"Wait... there's also this guy."
Yang Tao gently kicked Rentarō on the ground towards Seitenshi. The seemingly delicate Seitenshi reached out and easily pulled Rentarō into her arms, then she said gratefully, "Thank you..."
Yang Tao waved his hand, signaling her to leave, and said nothing more.
After Seitenshi was brought over by him, her gaze occasionally fell on Rentarō, who was being beaten by Blue Bird. It was clear that their relationship was not ordinary; at least they knew each other.
He glanced at the sleeping Kohina and the unconscious Kagetane. Yang Tao reached out and lifted them from the ground.
"Blue Bird, let's go back to the base first."
...
A week passed like flowing water; basically, all living Cursed Children were sent to Tokyo.
The "New Gastrea Law" was not implemented because there were no more Gastrea Virus in Japan, but a new "Code" was issued throughout Tokyo.
Yang Tao stood at the entrance, watching transport ships full of people fly into the wooden door. They would send this group of people to the Warhammer industrial worlds, where everyone would contribute their last strength.
Some individuals who had personally harmed others would be sent to the Mechanicus to undergo flagellant servitor modifications, becoming labor models dedicated to serving the world.
As the transport ships disappeared, Yang Tao returned to where the children lived.
However, the children no longer lived underground but had moved to the surface.
It was school dismissal time, and some Promoters stood at the entrance, eagerly awaiting the children to finish school.
"Chief Minister!"
Rentarō led a little girl, smiling, and ran to his side, respectfully calling out, "Thank you, the school you opened allows Enju to live a normal life."
Rentarō had completely forgotten his two previous meetings with Yang Tao. His enthusiasm was because, in his eyes, Yang Tao was the chief Minister of the entire country, and the one who eliminated the Gastrea Virus and promoted the peace law.
Yang Tao smiled and nodded, then lowered his head to look at the little girl, Aihara Enju, who was beside him.
The little girl had crimson eyes and long hair tied into twin pigtails with rabbit hair ties. Her skin was fair, and she was very cute.
Because she was the protagonist's Initiator, Yang Tao paid special attention to her and found that this child really liked Rentarō. She was frank, lively, and innocent.
She was quite precocious and would get jealous if Rentarō had good relationships with other women.
In short, she was a pretty funny little girl.
"Rentaro, don't forget to take the child for an injection later. The Gastrea Virus inhibitor has been successful. Although it can't completely clear the virus from their bodies, it can completely suppress the increase of the Gastrea Virus."
Rentarō's face lit up with surprise upon hearing this: "Really? Thank you so much!!!"
With that, Rentarō bowed deeply to Yang Tao.
Yang Tao felt no embarrassment about this. If it weren't for him, these children would at most live to be 13 years old, at which point they would turn into irrational monsters due to the Gastrea Virus in their bodies increasing to 50%.
