Ever since the mighty god Odin appeared on the Antarctic continent and captured the fla giant Surtur, bringing him back to Asgard, the entire Earth temporarily fell into a state of tranquility.
Odin, wielding the eternal spear thrown from sowhere in the universe, had the power to pierce the Earth, but news of this was suppressed by governnts worldwide. Additionally, the intense battle between Surtru, Odin, and the thunder god Thor took place in Antarctica, and the aftermath of the battle was blocked by Odin's runes, preventing it from spreading.
As a result, humans did not experience the crisis of facing extinction, and the discussions centered around the handso appearance of the thunder god and the terrifying powers of the two Nordic gods. People marveled at the beyond-hollywood-level effects of the divine battle.
The rare calm on Earth did not last more than two days before another piece of news shattered it.
However, by this ti, the nerves of the people on Earth had beco resilient. Ever since the first extraordinary event occurred over two years ago, humanity has grown accustod to various mysterious forces and gods appearing on Earth, coloring their lives with a touch of mythology.
Yet, this piece of news still caused a stir and beca the subject of active discussion on the internet.
This news involved every human, offering a gospel to each individual!
"What? Our country is canceling the healthcare insurance system? Ha, I ntioned in a post on Bilibili that the country's economy has been declining, foreign exchange reserves are insufficient, and the funds for pensions and major illness insurance have dried up. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of gods, social unrest would have occurred due to the economic downturn. Canceling healthcare insurance was within my expectations, but I didn't expect the country to be so ruthless. They are pushing us to the brink!"
"...Our generation is truly the most miserable. We were only children when we were born, and when we grew up, there were too many university graduates, making us worthless. Each family had to raise the elderly and the next generation on their own, with no siblings. Then there's retirent delay, and now they're canceling healthcare insurance. It seems the cancellation of pension insurance is not far off either. We should learn from Arica..."
Upon seeing the headline 'Cancellation of Healthcare Insurance,' the keyboard warrior didn't even bother to read the content; he launched into a lengthy criticism, presenting himself as a patriotic youth with a sense of righteousness reminiscent of Lu Xun.
"Where did this keyboard warrior co from? If there are any monsters in the future, let him fight them alone with his keyboard. With his typing speed, the monsters probably won’t be his match."
“Can you at least read the content before comnting? How much did Arica pay you?”
"Heh, your Arican daddy just released the news. They’re canceling healthcare insurance as well."
The keyboard warrior realized his mistake as he read the article's content, feeling embarrassed.
The article indeed stated the cancellation of healthcare insurance but, at the sa ti, major illness treatnt had beco free!
Before he could delete the post, the cyber police were already at his door.
A ssage from the Ministry of Health stated that due to technological breakthroughs in various countries, many terminal illnesses now had treatnt thods, and all countries would provide free healthcare for all illnesses.
Simultaneously, many major countries on Earth released similar announcents.
The world was in shock. Had humanity collectively entered a new era?!
[How to view the free healthcare policies announced by many major countries worldwide?]
Similar questions imdiately appeared on Bilibili.
"Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Asgard right now. I just got off my divine horse and am about to et Odin. Based on the ti of this global declaration, we can roughly infer that governnts of various countries discovered sothing important in Antarctica, leading to this situation. As for breaking through technological bottlenecks, it seems like a deception. How can a technological breakthrough cure most terminal illnesses?"
"...Looking at how governnts worldwide are solving the issue of diseases, there must be significant behind-the-scenes maneuvering. If governnts dare to offer free healthcare, it indicates substantial benefits for humanity. With the drastic reduction in dical costs, such policies could be possible. Also, everyone should be aware that the pharmaceutical industry in various countries is highly profitable. With this, many pharmaceutical industries might go bankrupt. Our country can handle it with policies, but for capitalist countries like Arica, there must be a fierce struggle behind the scenes."
"From the temporary results, this developnt likely solves most human diseases through technological ans rather than supernatural thods. Therefore, I boldly speculate that the previous conclusion that there are extraterrestrials beneath Antarctica might be highly likely. Humanity has probably obtained extraterrestrial technology, leading to a breakthrough in dicine."
"...For humanity as a whole, this is good news. Humans have finally overco microbes, bacteria, viruses, and the 'disease' in aging and death. Although it's not everything, it covers the majority of diseases."
"But there are advantages and disadvantages. With diseases solved, and considering Earth already has over seven billion people, resources are no longer sufficient. If diseases disappear, and everyone dies naturally, resource conflicts will imdiately beco apparent, likely leading to war!"
"...But this is sothing governnts should think about. As an individual, I think it's ti for humanity to leave Earth. Only then can humans obtain the resources needed to survive."
"Alright, the AllFather has summoned . I won't waste ti with you guys. Goodbye!"
Although this person's response was sowhat juvenile, provoking laughter, the content he provided was thought-provoking. So even felt “Damn, maybe this guy is really in Asgard”.
With the disease problem solved, from a global perspective, there were both positive and negative aspects. However, on a personal level, it was undoubtedly good news. People would no longer have to worry about the cost of dical treatnt, or watching loved ones die due to lack of funds.
From now on, there will be no more talk of being unable to afford treatnt!
Moreover, with the significant savings from the annual healthcare expenses, governnts could redirect these funds to improving people's lives and providing more welfare.
However, the resource scarcity resulting from the prolonged human lifespan was indeed a pressing issue for governnts worldwide. Fortunately, this conflict wouldn't erupt for several decades, giving governnts ti to find solutions. They were already hoping to gain so space technology from extraterrestrials.
Apart from this global event concerning all of humanity, another significant event stirred countless discussions. The Nordic five countries successively expelled Christian clergy, earning the dissatisfaction of most Christian countries. Even the kind and pure nun-angel issued her own declaration of anger.
No matter how kind the nun was, she was also a fervent believer. Encountering the expulsion of her faith would naturally anger her.
However, facing the hostility from this earthly angel, the Nordic five countries were undeterred. The Valkyrie, a female warrior who remained on Earth, directly confronted the Christian angel, although only verbally for now. Still, it foreshadowed an impending storm, and tensions were rising.
Amidst this tense atmosphere, so people beca excited. The Nordic Valkyrie against the Christian angel – such a thing was happening on modern-day Earth!
