In just three days since the Pale Holy See issued its announcement, the Human Federation seemed to be facing a true apocalypse.
Suicides are commonplace, and those who take advantage of the situation to cause chaos and unleash their animalistic instincts and desires are countless.
Random killings and rapes were seen everywhere on the streets, and groups of people even broke down the doors of people's homes to commit atrocities.
The men were hung up and subjected to extreme torture, while the women were subjected to various forms of torture, with "train rides" being the least severe form of torture.
The various atrocities committed are so numerous that they are difficult to describe in words.
The once high and mighty nuns of the Church were spun around and thrown onto a street lamppost like animals.
In the past, missionaries who preached holiness and love were pinned to the ground and hung from the back of a car, which drove around the city like live fish. During this time, the missionaries' bodies swayed and struggled due to pain and gravity, just like real live fish being suspended, as if mocking the God who was bound to the cross.
The pressure of life and death, and the fear of war that have lasted for a thousand years, have created a harsh environment in which mentally disturbed people are everywhere. In the past, they were oppressed and intimidated by the Pale Church and the Pale God and did not cause any trouble. Now that the Pale Church's faith has collapsed and social order is in chaos, they have taken advantage of the situation and committed all kinds of evil.
But the perpetrators are ultimately a minority. For the Human Federation as a whole, what is truly deadly and has a huge impact is not these perpetrators who take advantage of the chaos, but the Pale Church whose faith has collapsed!
With the Holy See's statement, despair loomed over humanity, but those who felt the deepest despair within that despair were the Pale Church.
Following the issuance of the statement, countless Church members committed suicide within just a few months.
In an old monastery, under the leadership of the bishop, all the Church members gathered together, doused the monastery and themselves with gasoline, and then burned together in the flames.
A Church priest gathered believers in the area under his control, proclaimed the Ascension, and released his own Fifth Stage soul flames on the spot, sending the believers, Church personnel, and even himself present to the Pale Throne.
This group of believers already had some ideological biases and extremisms, and now, with their faith shattered, they have become even more fanatical.
With some people leading the way in suicide, all sorts of bizarre and unusual methods of suicide emerged, showcasing the complex imagination and execution capabilities of humankind.
Some people spearheaded a reactionary movement, claiming that this so-called statement was a sinister lie fabricated by the Pale Holy See, which claimed that the Holy See had been completely replaced by Aberration when it made Subspace Jump to escape Garden of Eden, and that such statements were made to mislead people!
Some took the opportunity to loot extensively and flee in panic, believing that the Human Federation was no longer safe. This so-called statement and the development of the situation showed some signs of being out of control.
In just a few months, the once united and faithful Pale Church has suddenly begun to show signs of division.
Humanity's thinking is too bizarre. After learning that the Pale God was the culprit behind all these disasters, instead of immediately resisting and opposing the Pale God, they used faith or resistance against the Pale God as a pretext to launch a coup and seize power.
It has to be said, this is truly a bit too surreal.
Both the Pale Holy See and the Human Federation Government had contingency plans in place to deal with this surreal and chaotic situation.
Historically, the Human Federation Government was no match for the Pale Church, but that was only because the Pale Church held a high position in faith and morality, and the entire Holy See was united in its beliefs.
In terms of actual strength, even though the Human Federation Government was no match for the Pale Church back then, it was still a starving camel bigger than a horse. Compared to those who are now trying to split the Church or committing evil deeds in the cities, their strength is still a matter of dimensional reduction.
Six months after the announcement, as cholera worsened in the city.
The Pale Church Orthodoxy, led by Regent Duoxia, swiftly purged dissenting and divisive voices within the Church and subsequently reformed Church.
In the year 4621 of Norton, the Pale Church regent, Duoxia, convened the ' God Annihilation Conference ' via live broadcast to all believers.
At the conference, he hurled vulgarities and insults at the Pale God Norton, listing and detailing all the facts proving that Norton was the mastermind behind it all. He analyzed the underlying principles of testimony from the ground up, thoroughly exposing Norton's false lies!
At the end of the meeting, in his capacity as regent, he formally confirmed the dismantling of the Pale Church system and defined the Pale God as the devil. Subsequently, following classical precedents, he brought out the ancient divine Church system from nearly 20,000 years ago— the Holy Lord Empire Church —and its true God!
This is to replace Church faith, unite the will of all people, proclaim the coming of God, and cleanse the source of evil!
In Norton 4622, under the leadership of Regent Duoxia, the colossal Pale Church, which had ruled humanity for over four thousand years, was completely dismantled and rebuilt.
Instead, a system of governance and propaganda from the Holy Lord Church, dating back nearly 20,000 years, was adopted.
Regent Duoxia resigned from his post.
Yet, just one week later, he was grandly enthroned, proclaiming himself Pope of the Holy Lord Church, His Majesty Duoxia!
Such a surreal reality is simply unimaginable.
Who could have imagined that the Holy Lord Empire and the Holy Lord Church, which have been synonymous with feudal ignorance in historical documents and portrayed as villains in all films and television dramas throughout history, would be exonerated and their injustices redressed ten thousand years later? If this had happened ten thousand years ago when the Holy Lord Empire still existed, people would probably have thought that the Human Federation had gone mad and done something so... ridiculous and laughable.
If Pope Adam or even Yalian III were here today, they would probably laugh heartily and be extremely pleased.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Lord Church, which had completely disappeared more than four thousand years ago with Norton's resurgence, the greatest thorn in Norton's side throughout history, the punisher of Norton Boys, and the near creator of gay Norton, has now resurfaced and risen from the ashes.
Indeed, cruel demons ultimately need a true god to subdue them!
Even after ten thousand years, that damned Norton kid still can't escape his fate of going to Heaven to serve God with a hook!
