302 – Day 3 (2)
When the priest first heard about the Primordial, a creature as large as a continent, he was truly amazed at the vastness of this world. But from what I see now, it’s no joke, everything I see seems to be 100 times bigger than that.
Even if the entire ocean of the world, commonly called the earth, is brought in, this vast world of fire will continue to burn without any change. It seemed as if the century would not change at all even after the last grain of sand was burned.
‘This is the sun.’
From Noble mtl dot com
Everything in sight boils, burns, and rises, creating a pillar of flame that cannot even be compared to buildings on earth. This place, which radiates all the light and warmth visible from the ground, is a standard that no powerful person on earth can dare to meet.
But one fact is more majestic than any other majestic sight,
This sun is as alive as the place humans call earth, and perhaps even more so.
It seems like an absurd joke that life would be born in a place like this, where huge explosions that are incomparable to things like great magic occur somewhere every second, and where things too hot to even be called flames swirl around at every moment. But now the priest had to admit that human standards were too narrow to capture this macrocosm.
Perhaps the place he called earth might have looked like that to the residents living here. One might ask how life can survive in such a cold place. Just like the gap between the sun and the earth, all of the sun’s inhabitants were very large.
‘It is a living star, in a different way than on earth.’
Unlike the common lifeless, dead lumps of burning gas, the glowing spheres of light were clearly the hosts of life. It did not appear to have intelligence, but instead contained an intense vitality that was different from any other life on earth.
Unlike humans, they were embedded like rocks in various places around the sun and did not fight or interact with each other. They did not even engage in cannibalism. There was no reason for that.
There was plenty of hot gas everywhere for them to consume. Just by eating it metallurgically, it was possible to obtain all the energy. So, all they did was move around between the sun’s surface and the convection zone, constantly eating away some of its mass, avoiding the too-cold outer surface.
In this place where it was thought that no life could exist, there was life. The priest, looking at the hot lumps that seemed to have a very complex structure, was lost in thought for a moment.
This life form, which was probably formed by binding together surrounding gases with a force such as lightning or magnetism, did not have intelligence, but it did have thoughts. At least they seemed to have greater intelligence than animals.
Just like humans have nerves, each time they move, the nodes of light expand and form a complex structure. They collided with each other, merged, and sometimes split.
The reason humanity did not know of their existence is probably because they live inside the sun. Tell me what to do. People still don’t know what’s in the deep sea.
They have not been able to understand the depths and depths of the world they live in, so there is no way they can understand the inside of this distant and hot realm of fire. So far, there have been no problems.
So far, their trajectories and humanity’s trajectories have never intersected, and they have never harmed each other. But that is peace that is only possible when they do not care about their small neighbors living far away.
‘As the vampires fell due to the curse of the ancient gods, the curse distorted the laws of the universe, allowing the possibility of such a being being created.’
The history of the sun may be longer than that of the earth, but their history is surprisingly short. They are a new race that is just a baby compared to humanity, and was born when the ancient gods twisted themselves to curse the sun. The laws of the universe changed, and it became possible for life to arise in places like the sun.
‘And the circulation went against their nerves and irritated them.’
In the eyes of these life forms native to the sun, humans are like microorganisms that cannot even be seen. Even monsters are, in their eyes, tiny beings no different from amoebas.
However, if it becomes a harvester, its size will become so large that it can be seen by those in the sun 200 million miles away. Through the cycle that ended not long ago, they recognized the earth and realized that it was alive.
In a place so cold that it was thought life could not survive,
It was not hot enough and things like maggots grew in the place where it had rotted.
In their opinion, it was no different from the soup being spoiled because it was not boiled thoroughly. They felt an instinctive aversion to organic life forms of the primordial series, which were a different type of life form than themselves.
So, these gigantic life forms of light planned to stimulate the sun to emit power in the direction of the earth. Once the sun showed its power, there was no need to worry about anything else.
If the prominence spewed out by the sun touches the earth just a little, all the dirty things will be sterilized and return to a clean state.
Because it will return to a clear and clean state, uncontaminated by organic matter that can proliferate on its own.
They did not have any malice toward humanity from beginning to end, but
However, the result of what they will do is the annihilation of all mankind.
It does not discriminate between beastmen, demons, humans, and all other races.
Catastrophe will swallow everything and boil the earth. Like a boiling cauldron of soup, the oceans will evaporate and the earth will burn. Even the Shinigami will not be able to withstand it and will be obliterated.
‘Even if I succeed or fail, the last cycle was bound to be the last cycle. The result had already been decided in this sun.’
The frozen, sleeping primeval body may be able to survive by being protected by the cold that froze it. But other, much smaller creatures do not have such blessings.
So this cycle was bound to be the last from the beginning. Whether you succeed or fail, catastrophe just approaches regardless of what happens on earth.
‘And now, I have the qualifications to make the decision that will decide the fate of the two worlds.’
However, the insignificant energy possessed by these gigantic beings no longer poses any threat to them. As an ascended being, he could now make any decision.
We could have stood by as civilization on Earth was wiped out and saved these interesting creatures of the sun. Conversely, he could have wiped out the Sun’s civilization and protected his hometown and loved ones.
Or, we could have sought the coexistence of two different worlds. However, every choice comes with a price, and it was unclear whether that coexistence would continue to be possible even after he left.
Another day passed as I looked at these mysterious creatures that could possibly be destroyed by my own decisions. It is meaningless to consider day and night here, but if you look at it from earthly time, it is.
Now, the time he was given was limited, and he had to make a decision. Are these evil? He asked himself and answered himself. That can’t be possible.
This thing here is neither good nor evil, it is just an existing creature. It was meaningless to distinguish between right and wrong and good and evil in a matter like this.
Nevertheless, it was possible to make a judgment, but it was nothing more than pure coercion. So I didn’t do that. Instead of being forced, he made a different choice.
It is quite natural for life to think in its own way.
He is not a sin in itself, so he cannot be punished.
But we can choose to postpone to create a better future for everyone.
– Until people are able to go beyond the sky, until they have the ability to abandon the earth and go somewhere else, sleep a little until then. Maybe not a little, but it won’t take that long.
When he said that, sleep was created in a life that did not need sleep. Everyone fell into a deep, deep sleep, like a bear falling into hibernation.
The light spheres, whose brilliance became somewhat lighter and difficult to distinguish from the sun, all fell into the sun. Naturally, all plans were halted.
For some time to come, the earth will not suffer from the threat of the sun again. At some point, the sun will not be able to intervene and interfere with people’s affairs.
The big task has finally been completed, and now only things that are more difficult than the task remain.
The priest hesitated a bit this time. At this moment, I was even afraid to face him.
But still, it is something that must be done. If he doesn’t do this, he won’t feel comfortable, and the child probably won’t either.
-Roca…
Now, it’s time to say our final goodbyes.
