Cybertheocracy: Dusk in Avignon

Do you think divine authority is maintained by the Bible, the military, and the church? No. In this era, divine power relies on insulin, ID cards, and a logistics chain that can never be broken. In 2026, a ridiculous coercion incident occurred in Lille, France, and a dangerous man who called himself the "New Pope" was released. A few years later, the transnational charity organization "Covenant Network" has taken over hospitals, granaries, refugee camps, and medicine transportation, and promised in the "Covenant Equalization Charter": everyone has food, medicine, housing, and citizenship. The trade-off is that all relief must be written into a "grace agreement." Whoever refuses to register will lose medical care; whoever is judged as a heretic will have his or her identity, property rights and survival quota cancelled. On the day of Avignon's blockade, former riot policeman Mathieu was ordered to escort eight boxes of insulin into the city. Along with the medicines, there was an evidence box from Lille—it contained only an ordinary knife, an erased original account book, and the truth that the new Holy See least wanted the world to know: The so-called miracle may have begun with a coercion; What is called charity is becoming sovereignty; And the person who decides who is qualified to be saved is the real pope in this era. Barricades have been raised, church broadcasts have begun, and Covenant Guards are cordoning off the city. Mathieu must choose between saving a hospital, saving a neighborhood, or exposing the entire kingdom. Because it is not difficult to destroy divine power. The hard part is - after destroying it, who will deliver medicine to the patients?
