542 – How easy is it? (2)
As many stories are pouring out of the earth, the media related to mythology are diverse.
Creations based on actual myths are basic, and there are also cases where the myths are slightly twisted to arouse interest.
Among them, the most famous is the act of killing God, that is, killing God. For whatever reason, there are countless examples of borrowing the cliché where God dies.
The existence of ‘God’ itself is a being that far transcends mortals, and killing that god can imprint what kind of person that person is.
In particular, characters belonging to the main class in this field are famous for killing gods whenever they have a chance. It uniquely shows how strong the god of war is.
Of course, gods often die, but they show the ability to match it. God is not worshiped for nothing.
In some cases, based on overwhelming scientific power, there are cases where it shows power worthy of a god. I guess this is relative.
In the standard of the earth, ‘nuclear bomb’ is not the power of God, but the power created by humans, but in the eyes of the people of this world, it will be no different from the power of God.
On the contrary, in this world, magic is a gifted ability from God, or in terms of Earth, it is literally the ability of God.
As such, it is not difficult to write because it is an earth where numerous creations related to ‘myth’ are pouring out.
First of all, after researching the past of the gods as much as possible, it is enough to bring stories from the myths and creations of the earth and mix them up.
‘Sometimes they even change their gender.’
I wonder what would happen if I did something like that. Will it end with being punished by God, or will it go on with a smile?
Religion is a sensitive area to touch, but as long as you don’t ‘insult’, most of them are on the side of being lenient.
Here, through a country like Japan, you can face what true madness is.
Predictably, the gods would have been astonished to see it.
[You mean you can really create a myth? A mortal like you?]
King Morgan, who had been pondering for a while, opened his mouth, which had been heavily closed.
It seems that it went through thought after thought, but it seems that I changed it to a question because I couldn’t come up with the right words.
The expression on his face is close to disbelief. Well, by the standards of this world, I can’t believe it.
What’s more, this place doesn’t even have a proper mythology. Even what can be called a myth is close to a kind of history.
‘Wasn’t it the story that Luminus and Mora took care of the chaotic world themselves?’
In Northern Europe, it is a tale after Ragnarok. The myth that the resurrected Baldur ushered in the golden age and two superhumans descended from the sky to prosper mankind.

Luminous defeats evil with the powerful power of light, and Mora protects the weak with the power of darkness.
The process is recorded in such detail that it can be called history, not myth. I also have fond memories of watching it.
“Yes. From the standpoint of this world, it’s a myth, but to me it’s more like a novel. Instead, it’s still the same to know the past of the gods.”
[Creating a myth… that’s hard to believe. Is there a mortal like you who created a myth?]
“It’s unclear how far the range should be set, but there is.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Lovecraft is famous for ‘The Cthulhu Mythos’. A work that has brought nihilism and cosmic horror to the limit.
Thanks to the sophisticated and attractive content that is comparable to other myths, many people mistake it for a real myth.
And usually, the gods in the Cthulhu myth are portrayed as outside invaders or unreachable beings because they roam the universe.
Most ancient evil gods or gods from foreign powers are related to Cthulhu. Humans are, of course, mortals who suffer eternally.
However, if you overdo it, it will be difficult to mix it properly because the content is perfect for going to the mountains.
[Huh… Then, do the contents of that myth actually exist?]
“Nobody knows. Our world is a world where even the existence of God is unclear. There are too many myths in the first place.”
[That’s why various myths and stories are pouring out. Because the gods do not directly interfere with the mortal world.]
King Morgan nodded in agreement. As he said, if the existence of God had been confirmed like in this world, it would have been burdensome in many ways.
Of course, as you can see from Greek and Roman mythology, people who cross the line will appear unconditionally.
I wonder what kind of hybrid species will be born if the culture of this world develops like the earth.
‘Luminous-sama might turn into a woman…’
Perhaps that is the most difficult case. It’s not directly blasphemy, but it’s a situation where tastes are severely divided.
Due to the nature of Luminous, even if it is difficult to overcome, the followers will fight fiercely, saying that it is blasphemy.
Even if I want to dry it, I can’t. The moment you take a side, things can get even more twisted.
[The more you listen, the more curious you become about the place called Earth. Numerous stories, including myths, are pouring out, and furthermore, there are mortals who create them.]
“It’s not that difficult.”
[Then listen to an example. How do you start a myth? In the beginning, there would be nothing.]
Still hard to believe, King Morgan asked for an example. When I heard that, I was lost in thought.
‘Usually the beginning of a myth…’
A space with nothing. It begins with the birth of God from ‘nothingness’ where there is nothing. A setting that is mainly borrowed from numerous media.
Whether it’s Greek and Roman mythology, Norse mythology, or finally a myth created by humans, it starts with a space where there is nothing.
After that, the first god is born, and as the god gives birth to a child or kills someone (…), a full-fledged myth continues.
“We have to start with the birth of a god in a space where there is nothing.”
[God appears in a space where there is nothing? Do you think that is possible?]
“It’s a myth.”
[··· ···]
At my clear reply, King Morgan fell silent like a mute who had eaten honey.
In mythology, probabilities are destroyed. It is said that the content must be incomprehensible to a mortal.
It is this content that makes the dignity of the gods stand out even more, and it is an act that clearly distinguishes mortals from transcendents.
“The Sea God and Hirt-sama are married to each other, and they gave birth to Luminus-sama and Mora-sama. But we need to take a closer look at the relationship between the Sea God and Hirt-sama.”
[What do you mean by that?]
“It means Hirt-sama could be the daughter of the sea god, or vice versa.”
[··· ···]
King Morgan was speechless again. He is contemplating whether the story he heard is true.
The subsequent look around is an uncharacteristically anxious response.
[Hmm. Hmm. Look.]
“Please speak.”
[I’m not afraid of Luminous or Mora. But I am afraid of Hirt, the goddess of nature and the goddess of all life. When Jim was alive, the scariest thing was nothing else but natural disasters. Can I insult someone like that?]
It’s surprising if it’s unexpected, but at the same time, it’s an understandable reaction. Even the Gerios Kingdom, which conquered the entire west, was helpless in the face of natural disasters.
Even more, Hirt is the supreme deity and the earth mother. In the case of direct influence, at least it has the power to destroy the world.
Didn’t the sun and moon stand tall in the last penance incident? Scientifically speaking, the planet has stopped rotating.
“It’s okay. It’s a myth. It’s a common story in our world.”
[I am very curious about how it ended up.]
“There is also a case where a child cut off the father’s crotch, and the blood that flowed from the crotch flowed into the sea, where a god was born.”
King Morgan shook his head when he told me the story of the birth of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.
I realized once again that the myths of this world are not enough to say that this kind of reaction is such a reaction.
‘That doesn’t mean the myth has completely disappeared.’
Myth is the first philosophy and the oldest philosophy. Without Shinhwa, it would have been difficult for the world to develop this much.
Demon war is also a myth if you look at it. It only feels a little closer because of the longevity of the elves and demons.
However, because Luminus and Mora were so accepted as beings of goodness, various incidents occurred.
As a representative example, there is Savior’s demon hunting. An incident in which a group fell into madness in order to completely dry the seed of the demons.
The reason Luminus dried up at that time must have been because it was so similar to his past.
“Your Majesty knows, just as Luminus governs light and war, the gods have various powers. The sky, the earth, the plants, the sea, the sun, the moon, the power, the rivers, the mountains, etc. He would have governed the realm.”
[And Luminus would have killed them all.]
“······”
Now it was my turn to shut up. King Morgan chuckled at my reaction and then shuddered.
[What are you so surprised about? If I said I was writing a myth, it would of course be the story of the god of war, Luminus. Wasn’t there a story like that in your world?]
“Uh… there is. Perhaps we can appropriately borrow the story.”
As I said before, the destruction of the world by the war of the gods is most similar to Ragnarok in Norse mythology.
Just as Luminus and Mora rule the world after destruction, the world after Ragnarok is the same.
Here, it would be enough if Luminus went on a rampage as the god of war properly explained.
‘But the problem is the earth god who spread the ideology…’
If you know the mythology of the earth, there are many similarities with each other. Representatively, there is a great flood that occurs whenever there is a gap.
Furthermore, there are cases in which gods appearing in other myths are considered the same. An example is Egyptian mythology.
There is also an interpretation that Egyptian mythology moved north and gave birth to Greek and Roman mythology.
However, in this world, it is somewhat difficult to know how to end this world because it is a case where the god of the earth released the poison and bounced off.
‘It’s not bad to tell people about the scary aspects of thought…’
It is a myth that it does not matter if probability is destroyed, but this is a problem before probability.
Even if it’s out of the blue, it’s so out of the blue. You are eating well and living well, but a foreign god is visiting?
No matter what the readers who see this will think, it is a video. I’m going to laugh at what’s going on.
Blood and steel is treated as a ‘fantasy’, so it’s okay, but mythology is a field that is different.
‘I should think about this when I write a book.’
Thinking of writing a book in the yard where the past has not yet been properly illuminated. I went out too much.
Now, while writing Blood and Steel, I slowly learn about the past of the gods. will have to do this
[I’m a little excited. Shinhwa with Luminus as the main character…]
“Strictly speaking, Luminus-sama and Mora-sama are the main characters.”
[It doesn’t matter. If that’s the case, I can help. The book that summarizes the past of the gods must be kept underground… Oh, that’s right.]
King Morgan, who continued talking, explained to me as if he had remembered something.
[There must be graves of other ancestors in the basement, except for Jim’s grave. Jim’s graveyard may be open, but the other graveyards are not. You need a key to open it.]
“Which key is it?”
[blood.]
“Yes?”
King Morgan continued talking while he was taken aback by Pira’s answer.
[If you look closely at the graveyard door, there will be a tiny hole. You just have to bleed through that hole. It’s a device that only responds to the blood of the Myshal family.]
“How is that possible?”
[Why can’t I?]
One of the fantasy features. Cities built in ancient times are ahead of the present in various aspects.
I laughed at the genetic recognition that far exceeded fingerprint recognition.
As much as the other side is curious about our world, I am also curious about the culture of this world. I guess this is also a cultural difference.
“… No matter how many times I think about it, this world is full of wonders.”
[I think your world is more amazing. Are there any interesting things related to mythology?]
“It’s interesting…”
There are some interesting ones.
“Do you know what a prophecy is?”
Upon asking that question, King Morgan frowned.
[You mean that damn prophecy?]
“······”
You seem to have a bad memory.
