667 – Only this time(2)
I stared blankly at the sage struggling under the golden palm. I don’t know what’s going on.
Stavirk is out of reach of Luminus and Mora, and furthermore, the sage has set the table since he came here.
There was virtually no escape. From having a one-on-one interview with a sage, retreat means that all retreats are blocked.
In the first place, before talking with the sage, I never imagined that he would be a devil worshiper, even a high-ranking person.
It’s not that I’m complacent, it’s that I’m out of luck. It is a devil worshiper to avoid even the eyes of God.
The reason he dragged on was to buy time. If Kate or Asala came, I would have managed to solve it somehow.
‘But that’s…’
A golden palm pressed down on the sage with the ringing of a bell at the moment of crisis. Even if you look at the size of the palm of your hand, it’s a staggering level.
Compared to the palm of your hand, the size of the sage is barely the size of your little finger. There is no such thing as a hole through which to escape.
When I wondered if Luminus had felt a crisis, a single voice resonated throughout the space.
[You are a foolish middle school student. Since ancient times, true faith comes from a pure heart.]
From noble mtl dot com
Unlike the strict tone of voice, the low-pitched voice is quite impressive. Is this what it means to be at peace just by listening to it?
I was dazed for a moment when I heard that voice, but I looked back in amazement when I heard that.
The golden palms and the sound of the bell I heard earlier. Finally, the ‘rebirth’ mentioned in the voice.
When all these things were put together, I could immediately recognize who it was.
“······Buddha?”
[It’s been a while. Aye.]
Unlike when I said a prickly word to the wise man, he greeted me with a gentle voice.
I am really confused as to whether this is the Buddha I knew. I only saw it once, the last time Ariel accidentally ingested divinity.
We didn’t even meet face-to-face, we just watched from a distance. The situation when my soul was taken over by a devil worshiper’s trick.
‘·······Is this world going to end?’
The Luminous said. It is said that the Earth Gods coming over here is like the end of the world.
It is presumed that they broke in when my life was in danger, but I couldn’t help but feel cold.
[That’s not true. They said that in a situation that was completely out of their sight, we would come out ourselves.]
“Keep it off…!”
While explaining, the sage makes a sound of pain. He is still tied to the Tathagata Goddess and unable to do anything.
[However, there will be only limited cases like this when we directly step forward. He played a trick to get you completely drunk, but he made room for us to intervene.]
“Are you saying that this space is different from reality?”
[You can think of it as a structure similar to the space you go in and out of when you meet the sun and the moon.]
When you say sun and moon, do you mean Luminus and Mora? If it is like a Buddha, it is a metaphor worthy of a Buddha.
Anyway, I was able to realize that the sage’s ability is more frightening than I thought. It may take time, but you can change the space.
If it had not been for the help of the Buddha, no matter what I did, it would have been nothing more than a fuss. If you’re lucky, you’re lucky.
[However, there will be very few cases of direct help like now. This is a special case.]
It seems that even the gods, of course, are talking about an unexpected situation. Who would have thought there would be a high ranking devil worshiper in Starbirk.
Moreover, the wise man faithfully fulfilled his role as a ‘sage’ until he revealed that he was a devil worshiper.
The forgotten god of fire and blacksmith, Dalos, he quietly waited for the right time without even talking about it.
Even if you wanted to spread the word, it must have been difficult because of the reluctance built into the ethnic group. The circumstances fit perfectly.
“Then that person is…”
“Quaaagh!!”
As the sage was about to ask how to deal with it, the sage burst into an unprecedented scream.
I looked up at him in amazement, and before I knew it, the Tathagata Kidney had disappeared.
Instead of that, there’s just a cross-shaped aura that glows in silver and is stuck in each of its limbs.
I think I know who did that. He said this cautiously.
“······How does it happen? Are you punishing yourself?”
[I don’t have the authority to go there. It’s taking measures so that we can’t unleash our abilities even if we leave.]
I see. Well, there is a very high possibility that the sage will attack me as soon as the earth gods leave.
It would be more comfortable to take measures to prevent that and leave.
[Before leaving, it would be nice to have a little chat. Isn’t it?]
I heard a voice that was dignified and compassionate at the same time, not the gentle and friendly voice of the Buddha.
If you look at the energy of the silver cross pierced like a skewer in the sage’s limbs, you can fully predict it.
The owner of a religion that more than 70% of the world believes in. The saint who carried all sins by hanging on the cross.
“I don’t care. I don’t know if you want to talk to me.”
[It would have been nice if you, like me, had hung on the cross and shouldered your sins. I was going to say this.]
“······You tell a scary joke right from the start.”
When I said it in a timid manner, the sound of boisterous laughter filled the space.
There are many passages in the Bible that I can feel the power of, but it seems that my personality is also upright.
On the other hand, Buddha has a friendly personality, just like the title of one who has attained enlightenment. Of course, it could be because I thought so.
There are various interpretations even within the same religion, so how can I give a definite answer? You need to be careful about this.
“So what do you want to talk to me about?”
[How does it feel to be a real saint? It is expected that the divinity will be completed sooner or later.]
“It’s just… I’m in a bad mood. How are you two? How can I become a true saint?”
Although they are divided by religious interpretation, both Jesus and Buddha became saints with human bodies, and furthermore, they became a religion.
It’s a level where my conscience was stabbed and exploded, but it should be seen as a rejection of the presidential election. Still, I’m curious about what I’m curious about.
[You just need to gain enlightenment.]
[I only relayed my father’s words.]
“Ah… Yes…”
If it was like them, only answers that were extremely like them came back. No practical advice whatsoever.
[So be careful. If you are really going to be born into a religion, avoid teaching wrong doctrines as much as possible. Even the supreme god is having trouble with that.]
“The Supreme God?”
[It’s because there are a lot of people who shout out their father’s name and go back to the natural order.]
Islam, and it seems to be referring to very famous extremists.
Sometimes there are cases where religion becomes an ideology rather than a culture, and Islam is just such a case.
Of course, there are sects that respect and consider other religions, but they stand out in particular. The climax was the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
I don’t know anything else, but I must stop that. I want to spread a good culture, I don’t want to cause all sorts of conflict in the world.
“I’ll be careful. Oh, and can I ask you one more question?”
[Ask me.]
“If I lived normally on Earth, what kind of person would I be?”
This is what I am most curious about. Now, he is getting divinity and is getting closer to becoming a saint in the true sense of the word.
There is no need to talk about fame, and it is on the verge of being reborn as an existence that you dare not touch.
On the other hand, what would it be like if you lived on Earth? Mora said I was destined to change the president of South Korea.
It’s hard to tell you in detail because the future has completely disappeared, but I thought that these people might know it well, so I asked this question.
[Would you believe it if all the soldiers in the country followed you with just one speech?]
“······Are you plotting a coup?”
Unbeknownst to me, that question came out right away.
Even the military in Nazi Germany did not believe in Hitler at first. After tasting the great miracle of 6 weeks in France, I followed it.
But I can’t believe most of the soldiers followed me.
[That’s not true. When do you think the power of soldiers becomes stronger?]
“That’s when the war broke out.”
I’ve heard from Mora. Sooner or later, World War 3 will break out on Earth.
The president to be elected after that will show a dictatorial side, but he will settle all the conflicts.
[I will take responsibility. Will I live as a family of one family, or as a soldier throwing my body for my country. I’ll leave it up to you. No one will criticize you. No one will insult you. Whatever it is, you chose it with courage.]
Suddenly, a completely unheard voice resounded in the space. It is the voice of a completely different man, not Buddha or Jesus.
His voice with strong appeal is impressive. The content of the speech is also quite resonant.
[This is only a small part of the speech. How is it?]
“······Can I be a politician?”
[Become a rare good politician.]
You’re really going to be a politician. It seemed that the speech was probably given just before the war.
Of course, I don’t know the details because the situation is not known properly. It is certain that he moved the hearts of the soldiers with his speeches.
[It’s only going to end here. For the rest, ask the light and darkness of this world.]
[It was a good time.]
I have a lot to ask you, but it looks like you are already leaving. It was while I was thinking about how to say hello.
Suddenly, the space filled with dark blue began to disappear. The silver cross energy that had been stuck in the sage’s limbs was also gone.
[I hope we can talk face-to-face next time.]
Soon after the Buddha’s words, I returned to my original room. The sage is still lying dead.
It passed so quickly that by the time I was dumbfounded, I heard a sound that woke me up.
Smart tok tok-
[Isaac. This is Kate. May I come in?]
It was Kate. I replied to come in without knowing.
Soon after, Kate and Asala come inside.
“What is this…?”
“Tongue, sage-nim! Why is the sage-nim…!”
I couldn’t hide my bewilderment when I saw the wise man lying around as if he were dead.
While thinking about how to explain this, I brought out a lie close to the truth.
“······You have been punished.”
Even if it’s a god from another world, the punishment is right.
Wait what?
