627 – Divine Power (1)
Divine Power is similar to mana, but is a completely different energy. Ordinary people can obtain mana, but divine power can only be delivered directly by the gods.
Thus, most of the people who use holy power are priests, and it is impossible to use holy power without being a priest.
Kate, who is said to have received God’s ‘grace’, is nothing more than an ordinary person unless Luminous gives her divine power.
Simply put, the gods act as ‘power plants’, and the clergy are machines that consume ‘electricity’.
‘Is the nature of the divine power itself the same no matter who delivers it?’
[It’s different. Since the domains in charge are different, the nature of the divine power is inevitably different.]
It doesn’t matter if you trust Luminous, it doesn’t matter if you trust Mora. And it doesn’t matter if you believe in both.
However, believing both is not recommended because the so-called ‘efficiency’ is too low. Just be a jerk or something.
In my case, it didn’t mean much because most of the divine power was invested only in physical strength, that is, the body.
[It’s only half, but since you have divine power, the day may come when you have your own divine power. It’s still small, but it’s at a level where you can get divine power.]
‘You mean infinite power?’
[There is no infinite power in the world. The more believers believe in you, the more divine power will be filled.]
Ruminus said it clearly. To some extent this was expected.
The more believers who sincerely worship you, the faster your recovery will be. I can understand that faith is like that.
Instead, I am curious about the reaction of the gods. Although Luminus and Mora are bickering siblings, they are rivals at the same time.
In the first place, aren’t the two areas in conflict with each other? War and peace coexist like coins, but they do not coexist.
‘I’m thinking of drinking kimchi soup, but isn’t it bad if there are more competitors?’
[No. Good for us Because the number of beings in charge of other areas is increasing.]
The explanation of Luminous is as follows. A situation in which the other gods, except for Hirt and the twin sibling gods, have disappeared or gone into eternal sleep.
It’s okay to maintain and develop the world, but the efficiency is inevitably lower than that of Earth.
To make matters worse, even the angels who assist the gods are not born.
The work is overflowing like crazy.
‘······We know that the gods are in charge of certain fields. But isn’t that just a symbol? Aside from giving divine power, what exactly is it doing?’
[They are the same as humans. Stabilizing the world, preventing external aggression, and so on. If humanity exists in the 3rd dimension, transcendents are active in a place beyond the dimension.]
‘··· ···’
[I don’t know what you mean?]
I nodded. I don’t understand a thing because it’s also a liberal arts.
I know that if I become a god instead, the work will decrease.
This is a corporate employee, not God.
[I guess I should study science as well. First of all, can you teach me how to freely change gravity?]
‘I’ll just leave.’
[You can come in, but not when you go out.]
How do you know that word? Did you come to learn from Earth?
While I was thinking nonsense, Ruminus smiled and said it was a joke.
[Anyway, as Mora and I each have their own divinity, the day will come when you will have your own divinity as well. At that time, you will know what kind of ability your divinity possesses.]
‘Isn’t it something you can decide on your own?’
[Absolutely not. Divine power is the energy that comes from the transcendent ‘individual’. For example, water is the most important thing to live, but there are various kinds, right?]
I understand what you mean by this. The essence is the same, but the nature is different.
So no one knows what kind of effect it will have when you have your own divinity in the future.
‘Can you predict what effect it will have?’
[Not at all. Instead, it’s only divinity, and divine power won’t deviate from the big frame. Although the efficiency may be different from mine, the effect is somewhat similar.]
That’s right. It is said that Mora is stronger in the mental field than Luminous, but it is only relative.
Until Mora’s faith grew stronger, the followers of Luminous were also focusing on spiritual matters.
As I said before, faith is a power plant and divine power is electricity. You don’t have to worry too much.
[What you need to pay attention to now is how to use divine power better. There is no need to worry about efficiency because the divine power is at a level that recovers on its own.]
‘Isn’t it all about healing or energizing others?’
[There’s another one, right?]
‘What is that?’
[Life.]
At the word life span, he slightly frowned. People with divine power know that lifespan is extended to the limit.
However, you cannot ‘transcend’ the limits. Because each existence has a fixed lifespan.
Even for the long-lived elves and demons, 1000 years is the limit. You live that long, but you cannot live longer than that.
And Luminous is saying that it can transcend the limits of its lifespan.
[The life expectancy can be extended a little more with divine power.]
‘Isn’t that already the case?’
[Including all the people you love, not you.]
‘··· ···’
How? It was a thought that came to my mind as soon as I heard Ruminus’ words.
From noble mtl dot com
No matter how much holy power a person has, it is impossible to pursue eternal life.
Because I ingested Mora’s divinity, the possibility was opened. But not her family and lovers.
[On the other hand, you as well as the people you love must meet conditions. You must attain full divinity, and the lovers you love must consume your divinity as you did. If that happens, the limit of lifespan will be transcended.]
‘······I almost got in trouble when I ate Mora’s divinity.’
[As expected, you are quick-witted. That’s right. You should be by your side to help your loved ones survive. You will have to adapt before that.]
I see what you mean. I didn’t speak for a moment and fell into trouble.
Exceeding the limit of life span. As soon as I heard this, the first thing that came to my mind was Marie, not anyone else.
She looked after Isaac first, not Zenon, and allowed many women, starting with Cecily.
But she is human. I’ll live much longer than a normal human, but not Marie.
After 100 years at the most, they will return to the bosom of nature. Will I be able to survive then?
‘While missing Cecily, she said she would live…’
I am not. She is a woman I will remember for the rest of my life and it is hard to live missing her.
Of course, you should also ask Marie’s opinion. The desire to be together for the rest of my life was nothing more than my greed.
‘······I’ll think about it for a bit. This is because other people’s opinions are more important than mine.’
[Sure. Then can I tell you how to use divine power?]
‘Yes.’
I think we’ll have to discuss this sooner or later. In the first place, it is unknown whether or not I will complete divinity.
It may be difficult to live as a normal human, but there are options to live as a mortal. Just like Cecily said, you live longingly and then go to rest.
When I was thinking about something else for a while, Luminous explained the divine power to me. He honestly thought it wouldn’t matter.
[There is only one important thing. Not me or Mora, but now you have to believe in yourself and use divine power.]
‘······What else does that mean?’
[Don’t you know what other believers always say when they pray? Whether it be the luminous poetry of light or the morasi of rest. It’s called faith.]
‘Uh…’
I have no idea what you mean. I don’t know if I’m becoming Jesus or Buddha myself, or if I’m just preaching.
Around the time I was contemplating whether I should show the miracle of parting the Red Sea like Moses, Luminous added an explanation.
[This is nothing more than a cornerstone for ‘transmitting’ divine power. Because it’s so easy to use. The difference is that instead of thinking of us, you have to believe in yourself.]
‘Um… Can you explain it more simply? It’s not abstract, but more detailed…’
[Is it okay to explain how power plants deliver electricity?]
‘Let’s go the abstract way.’
As expected, I am a liberal arts person.
*****
Time for Isaac to receive non-teaching lessons from Luminous.
Kate, an ardent follower of Luminus and Isaac, stayed in her room at the temple and was praying in the middle of the day.
The content of prayer is extremely simple. The conviction that his faith was not wrong and the thrill of it. Even his growing heart for Isaac.
As expected by Isaac, ‘desire’ was also mixed in his heart. Even now, with a blush on her white cheeks, she was reciting prayers.
“Until I can fully receive Isaac’s seed, I promise to keep my body and mind pure. Also…”
Smart tok tok-
While Kate was reciting a longing yet innocent prayer, someone quietly knocked on the door. At the same time, Kate shut her mouth.
She gave strict orders not to knock on anyone until she came out, but made an exception for one person. Perhaps that person came.
So she got up quietly from her seat and looked at her door. Then she spoke in a warm voice.
“Come in.”
Kikik-
As soon as she gave her permission, the door opened with a small sound. Kate gave a gentle smile as soon as she saw the man coming inside.
Pink hair that now falls almost to the waist. Unlike the glossy hair, dark pink eyes.
She was Cherry, a literary girl who was scheduled to ‘co-write’ with Kate. She should be at the academy, but she followed Kate’s call and visited the Myshal estate.
It was the call of a cardinal, and that is, of an authority next to the pope, so the Roseberry family was also willing to respond.
“Hello, Cherry. How have you been?”
“Hello······ Yes······ How are you doing······”
Kate is always bright and Cherry is always dark. Despite their conflicting personalities, the two were very close.
First of all, we have a common denominator, Isaac, and the way we look at them is very similar.
Kate is an object of ‘faith’, and Cherry is an object of ‘admiration’.
Lastly, it’s just that the way they express it is different, but both of them had a burning heart for Isaac.
“Sit here.”
“Then excuse me…”
The relationship between the two is very close as they are already working on ‘sublime’ together. The fact that the conversation worked as if nuclear fusion was taking place also played a role.
Kate sat across from Cherry and asked questions. What has she been doing, is the academy fun, etc.
Cherry answered in her characteristic brooding voice, and she gave a tiny smile.
Because to her, Kate was her ‘friend’. She is a friend who doesn’t only look at her appearance and family line.
She also shares a secret but not secret hobby, so it was inevitable that we would become close.
“Cherry read the newspaper too, right? Isaac is actually a spirit brought by the gods.”
“Yes······ I saw······”
Cherry gave a small answer. When she saw the newspaper, she was so surprised that her eyes slightly widened.
But she nodded her head at the same time. After all, Isaac is a person who is far from normal.
Otherwise, she said that she hadn’t ‘saved’ herself from the bottom of the abyss.
The ‘saint’ who came to make her dreams come true is certain.
She’s convinced in a different direction than Kate, but she’s good is good. Let’s move on.
“When I heard that, I thought. It is important to write down Isaac’s life, but it is also important to receive his grace. It is my duty to find the person who deserves that grace.”
“··· ···”
“Those who were by Isaac-nim’s side deserved that grace. And…”
Kate paused for a moment and stared at her cherry. Cherry only tilts her head at her burdened gaze.
Then Kate put on a confident expression and said to Cherry as if declaring,
“Cherry, too, she deserves to be one of them. I can be sure.”
“Have you already received Grace Ramen…?”
She was rewarded just for making her dream come true. When Cherry replied while tilting her head, it was Kate who was surprised.
“Yes, yes?! Burr, already…! Uh, how?”
“Just… Seniors come first…”
The ‘misunderstanding’ that started between the two.
“That’s right. I need to get it soon too… Can you help me?”
“Yes… Kate is my friend…”
We went beyond nuclear fusion to the process of making an atomic bomb.
“This, can you tell me how it felt?”
“It was really… It felt like the world was lightening up. You’ll never feel that way again.”
“Wow…”
I can’t stop now.
