How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 670

670 - Fire and Blacksmith (2)

670 – Fire and Blacksmith (2)

I was puzzled when I heard about it from the sage.

Why does the wise man know of the existence of Dalos, the god of fire and blacksmith who is supposed to have disappeared?

Also, why was the Starbirque people able to maintain their existence from annihilation? Something is not right

Moreover, beastmen and dwarves are presumed to have been created by other gods, but they still exist.

“King Morgan told me before. In order to completely annihilate a god, all believers in that god must be annihilated. Without believers in a god, there is no point. It’s like this.”

“Right.”

“But the sage of Starbirk, no. The devil worshiper remembers the god of fire and blacksmithing, and has even revealed his name. It means that the being is not completely annihilated.”

At my explanation, Mora nodded her head. It seems that he has no intention of denying it any longer.

It’s a situation where we’ve come too far. If you lie now, it will only increase the contradiction.

The gods of this world cannot lie. However, unlike being unable to lie, it is possible to speak in reverse.

Contradictions often occur here, so in the end we will only be able to tell the truth. Few people have ever reached this point in the first place.

“Does a god disappear when believers disappear? Or, even if there are no believers who remember, can it be maintained dimly if certain conditions are met?”

“First of all, I’ll tell you whether Dalos, the god of fire and blacksmith, is extinct. Dalos is not completely extinct.”

Mora started with the main topic. After all, Dalos was not completely annihilated.

But what she said next was enough to make me question it.

“If there are no worshipers, the meaning of a god’s existence is lost. Therefore, it is true that he is extinct.”

“Contradictory?”

“It’s a story that remains as a symbol. Just as my consciousness is still here, but the divinity belongs to that dimension, the consciousness has completely disappeared, but the divinity of Dalos remains.”

It’s an explanation that seems to make sense. Mora’s consciousness was banished from the original dimension and is here.

Nevertheless, the divinity remains in its original dimension and is imparting divine power to the followers.

“So the divinity of Dalos remains?”

“Even though they remain, they don’t mean much. We’re not machines, we’re thinking beings, in other words, people. It’s easy to say that many gods, including Dalos, have fallen into a state of brain death.”

“Brain dead…”

If the most important divinity is the heart, then the body of consciousness is the brain.

If the brain doesn’t work even if the heart is fine, can it really be called a person?

The words extinct but not extinct, and extinct but not extinct are the perfect conditions.

‘Are the gods of Greek and Roman mythology and Norse mythology on Earth in such a state?’

Mora, who seemed to have read my thoughts, pulled out an explanation from her side.

“The case of Earth is a bit different. They went to war like we did, but they didn’t undergo radical change.”

“Then is it close to a change in the political system?”

“It’s like that. Above all, it’s impossible to be completely forgotten. What god do you think of when you hear thunder and lightning in your world?”

If it’s thunder and lightning, of course it’s Zeus. King of Olympus and god of the sky.

Thor in Norse mythology, Indra in Indian mythology. Each myth is different.

“As I said before, divinity is a symbol. For a god like Zeus to be forgotten, it means that the existence of lightning must be completely forgotten. Even if records are lost or distorted, their existence does not disappear.”

“It looks complicated, but it’s simple.”

In other words, it means that it is difficult for the gods to achieve ‘complete’ extinction.

Even if only the heart remains and barely extends life, its existence is obvious.

“There are usually two types of divinity: birth or creation.”

“Aren’t they both the same thing?”

“It’s completely different. Birth is something that emerges between life and life, and creation is the same act as a blacksmith making things. My brother and I are a birth-type faith, and you are a creation-type faith.”

This is Mora’s explanation. Numerous gods were born between the father of the sea and the mother of nature.

First, Luminus and Mora, which are light and darkness, are born, followed by sky and earth, rain, clouds, thunder, grass, fire, and so on.

Various gods have appeared and each has its own power. In other words, things close to so-called ‘nature’ are birth-type myths.

And these are the ‘essence’ of that god.

“The essence of Dalos, the god of fire and blacksmiths, is fire. Blacksmiths are named after mortals who worship them. Just as I stand for darkness, rest, and peace, each god has many symbols.”

“Then, things that are far from nature or abstract, such as family, happiness, and victory? It’s ambiguous to say that they are connected to nature.”

“That is also birth. Creation is when a mortal like you has faith and becomes a deity.”

I decided to skip it because I thought it would get complicated again. It wasn’t what mattered now.

“Can brain-dead gods like Dalos be resurrected if the number of worshipers increases?”

“It’s possible. But why don’t you tell us why we don’t?”

“It’s difficult.”

“It’s not just difficult. Like the angels, it’s hard to even try.”

“Hmm…”

I’ve been curious about this for a long time. What is the relationship between angels and the absence of the father of all things, the god of the sea and the creator?

If you look closely at Hirt, you can say that he is the son of the father of all things. Because nature appeared after the sea was born.

But apart from that, I don’t know what the Father of All’s ability is that directly affects his birth.

“It’s not an ability. Originally, an angel can create the birth of any god. This is a curse.”

“A curse?”

“Yes. One is a curse that cannot lie. The other is…”

Mora didn’t want to come up with an answer, but fell silent. A worried look is clearly visible on his face.

I waited in silence for her to open her mouth. Even if I pressed it, nothing would change.

How long did you wait that long? Mora let out a deep sigh and she revealed the curse’s identity.

“A curse that cannot be created. Be it angels, races, or anything else.”

“That’s why you can’t resurrect another god.”

Not as big as expected. However, it seems that Mora was not at all.

“The curse is also directly related to the destruction of this world. Are there too many gods on your Earth?”

“Yes.”

“But we don’t have many in number, and we can’t even create. It means that the moment an outside god invades, we are helpless.”

Is this the weakening of national defense power due to population decline? It’s a pretty serious issue when you think about it.

No matter how good a weapon is, it is meaningless if there are no troops capable of using it.

“Fortunately, the gods of Earth were merciful, so he was fine. If it were elsewhere, he would have been eaten long ago.”

“What will become of mankind in this world then?”

“Since it has completely lost its essence, all indigenous creatures will disappear and a new human race will be born to match the gods. Or just eat it and throw it away.”

The scale is no joke, probably because it is a problem related to God. The country has far exceeded the level of destruction.

Aren’t you still worried? This world is a perfect place to be defeated by greedy outside forces.

Although Luminous is strong, it will take a large group to block it alone. Trouble is bound to deepen.

“This is why I help you to complete your divinity. You are a created faith that has escaped the curse.”

“You are asking me to give birth to a child.”

“Yes.”

“Haven’t you thought about solving the cause before?”

The father of all things and the gods have crossed an irreversible river. Recovery is virtually impossible.

But if you haven’t done anything until now, that’s a problem as well.

When I asked as if I couldn’t understand this, Mora looked around her. It’s like checking who’s listening.

She then frowned and closed her eyes. She seems to be in deeper trouble than before.

“Ugh… Can I tell you… I think I’ll get scolded later…”

“··· ···”

“······No. It’s better to say it. Whoa.”

Mora, who had been muttering something, looked straight at me as she caught her breath.

Black eyes that shine like jewels, revealing a mysterious mood.

In those eyes, my face was reflected like a mirror.

“There is a way to solve it. But that’s the way you’re rejecting the most.”

“If it were you… Could it be Ruminus-sama?”

“Yes.”

You muttered that you were an older brother earlier, but it seems that you really have something to do with Luminous.

Mora closed her eyes again as I nodded her head. Apparently, she seems to be trying to communicate with Luminous somehow.

However, as long as the consciousness is here, it is impossible to talk to Luminus. All you have to do is go to the temple and talk.

“If it doesn’t work out, it’s not bad to get permission directly from Ruminus-sama…”

“Then I’ll never be able to go home.”

“······What the hell is that?”

What kind of method is it that Mora is kicked out of the house forever?

It’s absurd, but I’m curious about the same thing. In response, she suggested in a cautious voice.

“Is Luminous-sama watching us?”

“The temple is right next to it, of course he’s watching it.”

“Then tell me with the determination to be kicked out for the rest of your life. I’ll take responsibility.”

“You’re not just saying it’s not your job, are you?”

I shrugged. To be honest, taking responsibility for one surplus god is not that difficult.

Mora is not the type to run around, and she plans to stay in her mansion forever.

Even if she didn’t know, she must have thought of that. She opened her mouth with an expression that she gave up halfway.

“There is a way to solve the curse. Instead, the conditions are extremely difficult.”

“What are the conditions?”

“Acquiring a divinity equivalent to that of the supreme god. For reference, it is not a divinity, but a divinity.”

It’s insanely hard. If you look at the emphasis on being a divinity, it looks like a position.

Just as Zeus expelled Cronus and became the supreme god.

The difference is that even though Luminus kicked out the supreme god, he still stays under him.

Until now, even though Hirt belonged to the highest god, the treatment was ambiguous, and there was a reason.

“My brother missed the timing because he was demoted to a saint after the war. He didn’t even want to.”

“Why?”

“I thought I didn’t deserve it. I mocked myself for being too brazen about destroying the whole world.”

Don’t be greedy. Just sit proudly in your seat.

In any case, it means that the future of this world will be safe only if I obtain divinity and give birth to a child.

When I think about it, how can I say… I feel the irresponsibility of these gods. A bit outrageous.

“No, irresponsible! You understand my oppa’s feelings too. The past is a bit complicated.”

“Yes. Yes. I understand. By the way, Miss Mora.”

“Why, why?”

Asks Mora, stuttering her words. Her terrified expression makes her want to tease her even more.

Of course, you don’t know what will happen if you really bully her, so let’s leave her alone for a while. For now, it’s about Luminous.

“If the people of the world believe more in Luminus-sama and treat him as the supreme god, what will happen then?”

“That’s not going to happen, but I have no choice but to become the supreme god… Wait a minute.”

Mora opened her mouth in amazement as if she had noticed something.

Even when banished from her original dimension, she can read my mind. She must have figured out my plans by now.

I’m just smiling.

“There’s a similar story on my planet. Maybe it’s really similar.”

I still remember.

During the writing of Zenon’s biography, Luminus started to be treated as a saint because of one misuse of his mouth.

“The son of the supreme god stops the atrocities of the supreme god and rules the world.”

It’s really a simple narrative.

“How great is this narrative?”

If it is transformed into a ‘myth’, its repercussions will not be able to be expressed in words.
