Chapter 1521: Chapter 495: Age of Chaos_3

[Religion]

Success and failure, all due to religion.

Christianity’s influence at the grassroots level in Europe and America, especially in the United States where religion is foundational, cannot be comprehended by a country like Tokyo University built on atheism.

At the center of this incident, in Atlanta, while other cults were reacting to news by scaling back their actions, a rising force named Super Christianity emerged.

From preparation to entering Jekyll Island, within less than a week, New Dynasty Elegance had already gathered hundreds of followers outside. They wielded intimate photos of Hong Tianwang and Brother Ye, carried Super Bibles, preached everywhere with meticulous organization, decisively outmatching those sinister small sects.

Moreover, this group acquired a large batch of firearms from unknown sources, suppressing other believers to the point they couldn’t even lift their heads.

This group openly declared Atlanta as the Sodom of 2078. They argued that these people twisted the doctrine and worshiped false gods, and that God would soon send down heavenly fire to destroy this sinful place. They are the fists of Hong Tianwang, here to execute God’s will and cleanse the area.

All who choose to stand against them are worshipers of false gods, devils disguised in human skin.

With Lin Miao’s assistance, New Dynasty Elegance boldly took to Voice of the Horizon, preaching to the entire United States on the matter.

In the past, those companies would likely send someone or priests from other sects to share opposing views, but now at this critical juncture, whoever steps up will be exposed to the whole nation, and they can only watch powerlessly as this bizarrely influential Super Christianity rises rapidly.

President Miles even criticized those capital groups in Georgia involved in cult activities on several shows.

With religion as a support, federal government legitimacy, moral high ground, and the reputation of a victorious war figure

Lin Miao rapidly coordinated with tens of thousands of soldiers recruited into ICE within the US, directly depositing $5,000 into each account, sending private messages, and dispatching cars to pick them up.

When Military Science learned about this, the entire ground transportation in Georgia had been blocked, and they were already facing off against local state government forces.

This ignited a class conflict ripping through the entire United States, and everyone got swept into the storm.

Previously elevated elites were suddenly dragged down to a moral low point, unable to raise their heads ever again.

To them, this was catastrophic damage, whether personally, to their families, or to their companies.

Consumers might choose products from other companies due to this incident; even partners might abandon them. Company board members might eject them to ensure profit margins.

Thus, they wouldn’t let this situation develop further.

What to do?

If the problem can’t be solved, solve the person who pointed it out.

Taking advantage of the gap with Horizon Mercenaries in Cuba, allied military technology to completely suppress Miles and Horizon Corporation.

Within less than twelve hours after the incident erupted, numerous elites boarded planes to Europe.

Whether they fled to relocate assets or collaborated with Europe and America’s capital forces to annihilate Horizon Corporation, Europe was undoubtedly their choice.

Many cursed Lin Miao under their breath for his stupidity, thinking a European conflict unresolved yet starting an American civil war—was he unafraid that no one could kill him?

They knew only Military Science and Huang Ban were what they could rely on to defeat the European Community, yet he chose to betray military technology before the battle ended. Is that pure Jesus seeking a crucifix, desperate for longevity?

But as everyone expected Europe to seize the opportunity to retaliate against New America and Lin Miao, surprisingly, an event unfolded in Europe.

Marseille, France

This city, steeped in cultural history, welcomed an explosive sound today, reminiscent of when France’s national anthem "La Marseillaise" was born.

Bang!

Outside a factory, furious workers tore through security barriers, ignoring drone warnings above, swarming into the plant where they’d worked for over a decade.

Just three days ago, the company’s HR department announced layoff plans for 75% of the basic workers.

The workers’ appeals were fruitless; upon discussion, they discovered mass layoffs affecting not just them but numerous laborers across various factories.

Overnight, it seemed everyone lost their jobs, but aside from military stocks, the market continued to climb, particularly real estate and automation sectors soared, and not a word was featured even in the smallest news column.

It’s as if the whole world aimed to abandon them, leaving them to fend for themselves.

This wasn’t isolated; rumors spread of extensive layoffs across Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Soviet Union, and other nations. Yet supported by the surging stock market and loans available nearly devoid of asset collateral—which they used to play the stock market and pay mortgages—life managed to proceed, dampening protests.

However, the situation in France was different; perhaps they had stubbornness in their lineage, and their defiance surged to understand why they’d be laid off without issues at work.

They broke through factory defenses into production areas, discovering engineers modifying equipment they’d used for nearly a decade.

Was it AI automation?

Regardless, if it threatened their livelihoods, they would resist.

Just like the women who charged into textile factories smashing Jenny textile machines ages ago.

They mocked those who didn’t grasp societal production capability advancements, and in turn mocked those unaware of capitalist society’s treatment of valueless individuals.

Enraged workers rushed forward, chasing off engineers with hammers or prosthetics, damaging metal cladding on production equipment.

However, hidden within intricate wiring weren’t unfamiliar circuit boards or some chip as expected, but something much more familiar.

That was...

The human brain
