Saeko Busujima was the first to regain her senses, her eyes burning with fervor, her heart pounding.
That was definitely the swordsmanship of myths and legends!
As a renowned swordswoman, the young lady of the Busujima family had practiced swordsmanship since childhood. Last year, in her second year of high school, she had already won the national kendo championship. She loved swordsmanship more than even famous masters; she was fanatical about it.
Hearing Saeko Busujima's voice, the students also snapped out of their shock.
"Divine Messenger! Please, save us!"
"I'm so scared, I'm so scared, boohoo, please save me."
"There are Zombies everywhere, and everyone who gets bitten turns into a Zombie, boohoohoo..."
The students cried out to the six, as if they had found their saviors.
Uzui Tengen pointed his thumb at his temple: "Don't worry, we're here to flamboyantly save the world. Now, you just need to follow us to a safe place."
"My name is Uzui Tengen, and I want you to flamboyantly remember it."
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Uzui Tengen, boohoo..."
Miyamoto Rei said tearfully, "Lord Uzui Tengen, I want to find my mom and dad. Can you help me save my mom and dad?"
Uzui Tengen: "I can't guarantee that, but if you want to follow us, you have to listen to our arrangements."
Saeko Busujima took a deep breath and eagerly asked, "Excuse me, are you Divine Messengers from Takamagahara?"
Shinobu Kocho smiled and said, "We are not from Takamagahara, but from the Celestial Realm. We are the retainers of the supreme God, 'destiny fantasy great god' and 'Fantasy God'."
"We are here to save the world, following His divine oracle."
Although the students hadn't heard these names, they understood that these individuals were from the Celestial World, retainers of God, and had come to save the world.
Saya Takagi swallowed: "So, the myths and legends are true. When the apocalypse comes, God will come to save the world."
"Um... um... excuse me, may I interrupt?"
A trembling, simple voice sounded. Shizuka Marikawa weakly raised her hand: "Um, I, I think I got scratched..." As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeve, and a scratch had already turned Black Smoke.
Miyamoto Rei was frightened and pointed a finger at Shizuka Marikawa's blackened arm: "Teacher Kiyomi Kawashiri! You, you were scratched by a Zombie! It's over, it's over!"
"What do we do?" a female student asked with a trembling voice.
"How could this be!" a male student gritted his teeth. Teacher Kiyomi Kawashiri was a kind school nurse. He remembered her bandaging him up when he was injured before.
The calm Saeko Busujima asked, "Divine Messengers, can you help Teacher Kiyomi Kawashiri?"
Shinobu Kocho produced a small vial, opened it, and poured its contents onto Shizuka Marikawa's head.
The moment the purple liquid fell onto her golden hair, it emitted a white mist that enveloped Shizuka Marikawa.
The white mist quickly dissipated. Everyone looked at Shizuka Marikawa's arm; the blackened area had completely vanished, not even a scar remained, and her skin had become fair and smooth.
"So, so miraculous..." Saya Takagi blinked.
Inosuke Hashibira patted his chest and proudly declared, "Of course! This is a Panacea. As long as you're not dead, you'll live." Ever since they had the Panacea, methods of training that were previously impossible could now be used.
"..." The students were startled by Inosuke Hashibira's sudden loud voice. They hadn't noticed before, but this person had a wild boar's head! A monster! Definitely a monster! A monster subdued by God!
Giyu Tomioka spoke: "Let's start. First, we'll clear a safe area and rescue the living."
Shinobu Kocho nodded: "I'll also create an antidote for the Zombie virus and diffuse it into the air to eliminate airborne viruses."
Inosuke Hashibira drew his two nichirin blades: "I can't wait any longer! I'll definitely cut down the most Zombies!" He then provocatively looked at Giyu Tomioka, who remained expressionless and completely unfazed.
Zenitsu Agatsuma weakly raised his hand: "Can I, can I do logistical work?"
Tanjiro Kamado shook his head: "You'll have to ask everyone about that, Zenitsu."
"[Still not quite at ease, it seems.]"
A majestic voice echoed in the void. The expressions of Shinobu Kocho and the other five instantly changed, and they quickly lowered their heads.
"[It's the first time saving an apocalyptic world, so I suppose I still need to guide them.]"
The students listened to the voice and saw the six Divine Messengers become extremely respectful, so they quickly looked around.
A flash of colorful light appeared before their eyes, and a figure dressed very ordinarily emerged, wearing casual clothes, seemingly not much different from them, yet inspiring heartfelt awe.
The words "God" appeared in their minds.
"Lord Xia Wei." x6.
Shinobu Kocho and the other five were also somewhat at a loss. They had just arrived and hadn't even begun their actions, yet Lord Xia Wei had descended, seemingly because their method of salvation was not thorough enough.
"Shinobu, Giyu, Tengen, and the three little ones." Xia Wei stepped forward.
"I've realized that the first impression I gave you was somewhat misleading."
The six were astonished: "Misleading?"
Xia Wei stepped forward: "You've decided to save all living people, haven't you?"
Tanjiro Kamado looked bewildered: "Lord Xia Wei, is there a problem with that?"
Shinobu Kocho, Giyu Tomioka, and Uzui Tengen were also quite bewildered.
Zenitsu Agatsuma sniffled the snot running from his nose due to fear, while Inosuke Hashibira scratched his boar head mask.
Xia Wei sighed: "I showed you compassion and goodness, so you thought I would be that way with all humans?"
"No, I am not solely compassionate and good."
"So-called God possesses all desires, the goodness that all humans seek, yearn for, and anticipate, but also the malice that all humans fear."
"You felt my goodness and compassion because I extended goodness to you."
"However, humans are complex beings, so I have different approaches for different people."
Shinobu Kocho looked at Xia Wei, who at this moment had lost all his goodness and compassion, and opened her mouth. Her God, at this moment, seemed like merely a human being with emotions just like hers.
Giyu Tomioka and Uzui Tengen looked at God in this way, and their previous impressions vanished for the most part.
The God they knew was only compassionate towards them because they were worthy of His compassion.
Xia Wei pointed to the city, which was emitting Black Smoke everywhere: "Not all humans are worth saving." He slowly raised his hand.
Golden, white, and Black Smoke halos appeared in his hand and converged.
"I classify humans into three categories."
"First, good humans. They do good deeds and contribute to the world's betterment."
"Second, neutral humans. They neither do evil nor good; they are just ordinary people living unremarkable lives."
"Third, evil humans. They find joy in destroying the happiness of others, are selfish, and exploit others for their own gain."
"Therefore, only the first and second categories are worth saving and escaping the apocalypse to a new world."
"As for the third category, they will be swept into the dustbin of human history along with the apocalypse."
