The gods of this world cannot lie. I don’t know if I don’t or I can’t, but I’ve never lied.
Instead, there are cases where they turn around and speak or exercise their right to remain silent. I can’t lie, so I won’t say anything at all.
However, they are tolerant of lying to the creatures they love.
After all, lying in front of you is meaningless, and as there is a saying that it is a white lie, it is difficult to punish.
Instead, felony crimes such as murder are severely punished. If you commit a murder in the temple, the punishment will fall before anyone can stop it.
So maybe that’s why I can’t tell you what kind of oracle I placed on the Savior. It’s a little disappointing, but understandable.
‘Is this an oracle I shouldn’t know?’
[Yes. It is an important issue, at least for us, where the axis of the future may be shaken…]
‘We?’
He cut off his words at the remarks that only seemed to peck the gods. It was a really rude attitude in front of God, but I had doubts without knowing it.
Perhaps Luminus also realized that he had made a speech mistake, so he hurriedly opened his mouth.
[You, I want you to reconsider your status. Each and every word you say affects the whole world, but if you touch the oracle, not only us but also you may have a bad view.]
‘It is said that there may be a question of whether you are challenging the authority of God.’
[right.]
If that’s the case, it’s understandable. To be honest, it was close to what I just poked, so I wasn’t very impressed.
However, if you look at it, it is not strange even if you are punished by being punished, which goes beyond huge disrespect and literally challenges the authority of God.
From my point of view, it was close to asking an adult who was really comfortable with me, but when I thought about it, it was a situation that was almost in trouble.
‘······· I almost made a mistake on this. I’m sorry. Luminus-sama is comfortable, so I don’t know what to do…”
[Don’t worry, kid. We are not narrow enough to twist the neck just because the cute goose that lays the golden egg bites its finger.]
As I always feel, the gods, including Luminus, all gave wonderful metaphors. With those words, I immediately realized how I was treated.
Seeing that the modifier “cute” is attached to it, it is certain that they take pity on me.
But at the same time, it made me realize the gap between the transcendent and the mortal. No matter how much I quack, I’m just a goose.
‘I’m glad you’re kind though.’
If you look at the myths of past lives, there are many so-called gods whose humanity has been destroyed. In particular, Greek and Roman mythology is reaching its climax.

Needless to say, Zeus, who is a reveler and authoritarian, also punishes the gods who are known for their benevolence as soon as humans challenge their authority.
In fact, even Athena, a goddess with a good personality, punished Arachne for being rude.
After all, each one of them were extremely human gods, but that’s why they are emotional. Gods with different personalities for each individual.
[··············Ai. We’re not as good as you think.]
Perhaps he had even read my thoughts, Luminus said quietly in a slightly embarrassed voice.
His words echo in his head, but somehow he seems to be smiling bitterly. It’s a feeling anyway.
I don’t know if my conscience was pierced by reading my heart. In fact, didn’t Clark tell you not to trust God too much?

Not because they are evil, just because they are human.
‘You still love a mortal like me, aren’t you?’
[It is true that I love you. This has not changed even after thousands of years.]
They are gods who cannot lie, so those words must be 100% true. I brought up a sharp question here.
‘Then what would you do if mortals said they didn’t need the help of the gods, including Luminus-sama?’
Although it’s a rather rude question, it’s just to clear up my personal curiosity.
Even in the myths of previous lives, there were many humans who challenged the authority of God. Although both of them suffered divine punishment, there is a high possibility that such a thing will happen here as well.
Even if you don’t go far, there are demon worshipers. However, for whatever reason, the gods cannot directly eliminate the demon worshipers.
Unless the whole world is destroyed like the Demon War, there will be nothing directly exposed.
But what I’m talking about is ‘help’, not divine authority. A system in which mortals develop their own civilization just like the Earth in their previous lives.
A world where religion is used as a medium for gathering, and even the existence of God is uncertain.
I wondered what would happen if mortals in this world wanted such a world.
[·······]
Perhaps it was a bit difficult to answer my question, so Luminus did not answer for a while. I feel like I’m keeping my mouth shut and holding on to silence.
Still, I waited patiently. Not only Luminus, but other gods are bound to think more about this.
After the Demon Wars, the world developed rapidly under the protection of the gods. At the same time, however, development has been delayed.
When a dangerous thing happens, praying to the gods is the end, but on the contrary, they are not able to develop the ability to overcome the crisis on their own.
I was curious about this. As science advances, religion naturally fades away.
But for science to advance, it is necessary to break down the old way of thinking. And in this world, there is a huge curtain called ‘God’.
If, really if. If mortals ask to destroy this veil, will the gods, including Luminus, grant their request?
[···········Ai.]
‘Yes. Luminous.’
[Do you think we must disappear for the true development of mortals?]
Luminus asked me in a slightly subdued voice. Although there was no hostility, it was a voice filled with anxiety and sadness.
I thought about it for a moment when I heard the question. Unlike this world, the existence of God is unclear on the Earth, and only humans dealt with the Earth.
In the process, various incidents and accidents occurred, and even a great war in which tens of millions of people died, but remarkable progress was made.
However, the development is short-lived, and the earth is slowly getting sick due to the things created by humans. Nature, the foundation of the world, is dying.
‘Luminus.’
[Say it.]
‘The gods, including Luminus-sama, are like parents. Those parents who give love for their children and discipline them harshly when they do something wrong. But parents are not perfect.’
In fact, Luminus and the gods are strong like parents. Mora hid the persecuted demons and dark elves in the dark, and Luminus gave powerful power to those who believed in him.
However, it became so powerful that the Savior waged a maddening war, notorious all over the world.
If Luminus, who could not see the situation, had not stopped it, the world would have been caught up in the horrors of the Great War again, very highly likely.
‘Parents also make mistakes. What you believed was good can have a bad effect on your child, and even harsh punishment in the name of discipline. You can never say that these actions are right.’
The mistakes parents often make are actions that occur under the pretext of ‘for the sake of their children’.
In fact, there are many parents who commit harsh acts without realizing their faults.
Even without going far, Cherry’s father, the Earl of Leticie, almost drove his daughter to suicide. Just because I believe this path is right.
The reason why this happens is very simple. This is because parents are the first to take on the role of parents, and children have clear ‘thoughts’.
‘But even if you criticize their actions, you must not criticize their hearts. The heart of a parent who is lacking but somehow tries hard for the child. Is this really a reason to be blamed? I don’t think it’s ever It’s just a difference in method.’
[The difference in method…]
‘Under parents, a child is always a child. If they get out of their parents’ arms, the child will become an adult and go out into the world. And you will find out later. Why did your parents wrap you up and protect you? How much responsibility you take for your choices.’
Humans on Earth have achieved unrestricted development, making it possible to commit suicide on a racial basis, and even to the point of destroying their own homes.
If the earth gods intervened here, they would not have even destroyed their own nests, even if they had slowed the development.
I can’t decide what’s right here. It is literally a difference in methods, and each has different side effects.
‘The child will miss his parents, but he can develop on his own. Humans in the world I lived in developed that way, and they will continue to do so.’
Perhaps space navigation technology has developed and they may leave for another planet. Then the true meaning of ‘independence’ will be achieved.
Of course, it would be almost impossible for a mortal to become a transcendent, so he would still look like a child to the gods.
‘Birds are safest in cages, but birds are never born to die in cages. Even if you give me the right to choose, I can’t make my own decisions.’
[This is a word that comes to mind a lot. The world we protect is safer than anything else, but it means you can’t flap your wings.]
‘Yes. However, please treat it only as advice. I came from a world where God doesn’t interfere, but I’m quite satisfied with the present world.’
This isn’t a lie, it’s the truth. I am far from those who throw themselves up for a cause like revolutionaries and thinkers.
I am more of a small citizen who enjoys just writing books and being kind to them. I’m not even going to compile a book that criticizes God, so I can give you some advice.
Above all, if science develops gradually, there is a high possibility that creation will naturally move away from God. It’s unfortunate, but it’s unavoidable.
[Thank you. Actually, I was a little worried. You are a soul from another dimension, where there was no interference from a transcendent like us. I was worried that even if I liked life, I would be dissatisfied with this world.]
‘Um, come to think of it, didn’t anyone have such an idea? The gods, including Luminus-sama, are the ones that block the development… Yes. Anyway, he has this kind of idea.’
It is similar to, but different from, the atheism of a previous life. It is because the existence of God is not clear there, whereas here it exists openly.
There is something in line with what I said earlier. Instead, I asked if there was anyone who directly spreads the idea.
And the reply from Luminus was enough to make me shut up.
[It is particularly noticeable from the side of demon worshipers.]
‘·······’
[Gu, even if it’s not them, there are a lot of them. It’s because I inflicted a wretched punishment…]
Whether Luminus had read my feelings, Boo quickly brought out an explanation.
I still remember A maniac who denied the existence of God and was struck by lightning in the dry sky.
In one case, it has a very similar aspect to the gods of Greek and Roman mythology. You could see it was really human.
Well, after that, even if they deny the existence of God, no one will be punished.
Instead, the denomination will personally take him and conduct an ‘interrogation’.
‘······· Luminous.’
[No, tell me.]
‘Would you like me?’
[No, of course. We’ll never let you go. This is the truth.]
With that being said, I think it’s best to put your doubts aside. He’s still a good person, but I don’t want to hurt his heart.
After talking with him a few times, I headed straight for Mora’s temple.
Before going to Musk’s publishing house, he’s trying to remember the lyrics of the song to write at the end.
[Boy. How about adding another song with the same name other than that song?]
‘A song from a movie?’
[I’m not sure about that, but I think it would be better if I searched through your memories?]
‘Are you talking about the future, or is it personal preference?’
[Of course because of personal preference!]
‘·······’
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Mora Does this goddess know lies? The more I talked with her, the more exhausted I felt, and I sighed.
In the end, I ended up putting the two songs together at the end of the fight. To be honest, when it comes to the relationship between Jin and Lily, Loveholix is better.
‘It’s difficult to translate…’
[cheer up! I will support you hard!]
‘·······’
Luminus has a personality that seems to have a lot of trouble.
[what?]
‘Good-bye!’
I’m going to go translate it first.
*****
A few days have passed since then…
“Car, I found it! Ruins! Ruins are here!”
“Where? Where? Geez, it’s real! It’s not a damn mirage!”
“Set up a base! Let’s rest here for a while!”
The Gray Desert expedition arrived at the ruins of the Kingdom of Gerios called the ‘Western End’.
