532 – Invasion of Poland (3)
[······· Are you here?]
As soon as I prayed in the private worship room, Luminous greeted me.
A soft yet cautious voice, probably because of the past. Fortunately, it’s not a reluctant sign.
I’ve said it many times, but I have no desire to go against the gods. We want a win-win relationship with each other, so we have to solve the sediment.
‘How have you been?’
[I was scolded by my mother, but I was doing well.]
Even if he is a god, he is always weak to his mother. Besides, wasn’t there a testimony that the day stopped at that time?
It didn’t just end with a shout, but all powers temporarily stopped.
‘Looking at your voice, it looks like you’ve been scolded.’
[······ I’m sorry.]
‘it’s okay. Thanks to that, I realized that I am human in a different way. I will also sincerely apologize for that.’
Ruminus must also be aware of the verbal abuse I gave to Mora.
It was disgustingly human, and it wouldn’t be strange to be punished for being rude to the gods.
However, at the time, my mentality was severely shaken, and above all, the gods were the first to make a mistake.
Saying that extenuating circumstances can be enough. Besides, wasn’t Mora later captured by Hirt?
Therefore, I will only apologize for the abusive language. Of course, you should go directly to Mora, not Luminus.
‘May I ask what Mora-nim is doing right now?’
[I’m regretting what I did to you. He said he would sincerely apologize if he visited later.]
‘Please tell me that I will see you soon. There are many things to solve with Mora-nim..’
It was no different from treating God as a messenger, but the mistake was made by them. Hirt didn’t get angry for nothing.
Besides, I have restrictions. If we go out first from there, the gods of Earth won’t stay still.
Of course, I’m not using this to cheat or anything like that. I don’t even have the guts to do that in the first place.
[Thank you. There are many mistakes we have made against you… but the only thing we can give you is divine power.]
‘it’s okay. But there is one part I was curious about.’
[What is it?]
‘If regression is possible, why didn’t you think of going back in time?’
In fact, it was enough to turn back time at the moment of regret. It actually has the ability to do that.
On that day, I couldn’t even think of it because my anger went to the tip of my head, but as time passed, it remained a question.
By the way, it was an idea I hadn’t thought of when I met Hirt. The part where I had a conversation with a person, not a god and a mortal, was a big part.
[It’s because of the gods of the earth. If I turn back time for that reason, it’s the same as meddling with you. Moreover, if we try to return without a fair price, our divinity will be greatly consumed.]
‘It’s a complex reason.’
[It’s like that.]
It seems to be paying attention to the gods of the earth anyway. After all, there are a lot of gods and followers there.
Each believer becomes nourishment and the influence of the god increases. This is what I learned in theology.
Right now, more than half of the population believes in God alone, and his might is beyond imagination.
‘Anyway, why did you call me here?’
[The Holocaust…]
‘Yes?’
Ruminus paused for a moment before asking cautiously.
[The worst massacre in the history of mankind. May I ask when the Holocaust will appear?]
If you are surprised, it is a very surprising question. I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard that question.
I thought it was simply a visit to the car, but it wasn’t. It is also an unexpected question.
‘Why is that?’
So I asked innocently. It was such an out of the blue question that I answered it without even realizing it.
We were comfortable with each other until the penance incident, and unlike Mora, Luminus did nothing wrong to me.
If he had to, he was hiding the fact that he was the god of war. And that he tried to use it to fuel the fire of war.
Is that why? I asked Ruminus a question in a sharp voice.
‘Are you saying that if the Holocaust appears, there won’t be a war?’
[War is full of madness, but war is declared by extremely rational people. But the Holocaust was a massacre carried out by a madman.]
‘··· ···’
Only a very clear rebuttal came back. I couldn’t even respond to that objection.
In fact, unlike the Holocaust, it is natural for Nazi Germany to start a war.
The Treaty of Versailles was full of holes and only fueled the Germans’ vengeance.
Although it was a society where anti-Semitism was prevalent, Jews at that time considered themselves as citizens of the country.
Hitler cleverly used this, and Israel would not have been founded naturally if time had passed.
‘······Then why are you asking that?’
[Before writing that, there’s a place you need to visit for a while.]
‘Where should I go? Where is that?’
[It’s a place where there are rude people.]
‘?’
I’ve heard answers, but I don’t understand any of them. At the same time, it was a bit surprising.
To hear the word “no offense” come out of Luminus’ mouth, who usually uses a gentle tone.
Even in the way he speaks, there is a hint of dislike. I wondered who the heck came from saying something like that.
‘If you say that, I don’t know where you are.’
[You know where the Gray Desert Expedition left?]
‘Gerios Kingdom?’
The exploration of Gerios Kingdom has been steadily maintained until now.
The kingdom of Gerios, which was said to have once occupied the entire west, was taking a long time because it was too wide.
As the time went on, Elena and Cindy’s absence also increased. It’s a bonus that the Nakdonggang duck egg life continues for a long time.
‘Do you want to go there?’
[yes. Of course, I don’t mean to go right away. You only have to go before the Holocaust appears.]
‘Why?’
The worst massacre in history, the reason for picking up the Holocaust is unknown, and the reason for going to Gerios Kingdom is also unknown.
Originally, he would have willingly accepted the request without much thought, but he was reluctant after learning about Luminous’s hidden alias and penance.
So there was no reason to go to Gerios Kingdom unless Luminus gave a good reason. Anyway, the moment you interfere with me, the god of the earth will come out.
In a word, it means that you have to ‘convince’ me. I wonder if Luminous will be able to convince me.

Luminous did not answer my question for a while. Even when I open my eyes thinking that the connection has been lost, the stone statue is still shining in gold.
It means you are in deep trouble. I waited in silence until he opened his mouth.
how long has it been like that Luminous opened his mouth in a calm voice.
[······past.]
‘The past?’
[That bastard hmm hmm.]
For a moment, Ruminus covered up what he almost said was that child by clearing his throat. It seems that he doesn’t like that person at all.
[He will tell you a little bit about the past. I might also make an offer to you.]
‘I know the past of Luminus-sama and the other gods…’
I was about to ask if there was anything good, but I stopped talking.
What if the reason why you pointed out ‘Holocaust’ among many luminous things is related to the past?
It is a question that has crossed my mind. You might say that I’m going too far ahead, but it’s at the level of being openly picked up.
‘······ Luminous-sama?’
[Tell me.]
‘I have a question for you. Can you give me an honest answer?’
[It’s okay.]
The Holocaust was what Nazi Germany, or the state, did. This is a clear example of what would happen if an entire country fell into madness.
Historically, there have been countless cases in which entire countries fell into madness and caused massacres.
However, the Holocaust was more like ‘slaughter’ than simple slaughter.
That’s why so many countries criticized and criticized again.
‘If I find out, will it be positive for Luminus-nim, or is it the other way around?’
However, if ‘God’, not the state, committed a massacre equivalent to that… To be honest, I can move on.
For example, there is a ‘Great Flood’ that often appears in mythology. A catastrophe in which more than 90% of the population was wiped out by a single major flood.
Or, to punish humans directly by the gods, they spread plagues or caused a drought for several years.
To God, mortal life is like a fly. Although it is fearful, it is an unavoidable existence like a natural disaster.
However, looking at the Holocaust, it is clear that there is something far beyond that catastrophe.
[May or may not include both. It will depend on your choice.]

Luminous raised an ambiguous question.
It seems that I can’t easily assert my future because I can’t accurately read it.
Of course, for me it was just an act of putting the responsibility on my shoulders. I frowned.
‘Are you passing the blame on again? I’d rather stop writing.’
[That is absolutely not the case. Isn’t there a saying that it’s better to sell first?]
‘What else does that mean?’
[Since all sorts of incidents happen in every letter you write, I thought it would be better to reveal even a little bit of our past…]
‘··· ···’
This time I have nothing to say. Not only Zenon’s life story, but also blood and steel exploded with two consecutive hits, so the gods would be very anxious.
Didn’t Mora eat it all with penance because she couldn’t overcome the anxiety? But you can’t touch me directly.
So let’s be cool. Not with my mouth, but with the help of others.
‘······It seems that the past is difficult for everyone to talk about directly.’
[··· ···]

Luminous did not answer my direct words. As we all know, silence is also expressed in a positive sense.
But it feels like it puts a lot of pressure on me. Wouldn’t it be better to use only blood and steel?
It’s hard to predict why it’s doing this to me.
‘Wouldn’t it just be enough to use only blood and steel? Did you make money as well?’
[I wonder if the kid who wrote Zenon’s biography because he was bored doesn’t have a conscience to say such a thing.]
‘··· ···’
Makes me run out of things to say again To be honest, I have no objection to that statement.
I’m really bored, so I think I’ll write another piece. My hands are itching, so I have to be patient.
Ruminus smiled weakly at my silence, and then spoke seriously.
[The essential reason is that our past will be revealed sooner or later. The development of science has far exceeded expectations.]
‘What does science have to do with your past?’
[The child will tell you the answer.]
‘That’s true. You make people curious.’
I smiled and said coolly.
‘I know. I’ll go. Ruminus-nim also answered honestly.’
[Thank you. When are you planning to leave?]
‘Because I have quite a lot of stockpile…’
Just in time, the Holocaust broke out, and even the poisonous war was over.
‘I don’t think it will matter if I go tomorrow.’
So it’s okay to go tomorrow.
At my cool answer, Luminus was silent for a while before opening his mouth in a mixed voice.
[······Please don’t hate us.]
It was a very significant statement.
******
similar time. A pub in Makina.
“We have to start by floating a lump of iron on the sea! What if you blindly float it into the sky and break its wings? Do you know what a ship is?”
“Absolutely not! It starts with launching a ship into the sky! Are we ever going to land on the sea? Rather, the sky is much better!”
The two dwarves are fighting with each other raising their voices.
