676 – Interrogation (3)
Looking at the hardened face of the sage, I was a little nervous.
It’s not a bluff, it’s a threat with a credible edge. I can actually tweak the mythology at will.
Of course, things would be different if the father of all things removed all records. Killer extinction, the kingdom of Gerios disappeared in the same way.
However, in order to reach that point, the prerequisite is that the devil worshiper must win. In other words, the probability converges to 0.
“Myths are similar to religions, but they are different. Religions have beliefs, while myths are not beliefs, but stories with lessons. However, myths and religions are closely related. Religions can change according to myths. It sounds like there is.”
Myth and religion are the past and the present, respectively. It is said that religion may change like the faith of Olympus on Earth, but it may remain as it is in this world.
However, this world has no myths that correspond to the past. If you think about it, it means that even this moment belongs to Shinhwa.
If Luminus had done the right thing, the myths would have remained as myths, and the religions would have remained as religions.
The father of all things will want to squeeze through this delicate gap. Because the myth isn’t over yet.
“If I start writing, myths will remain myths. I don’t know how religions will change in the future, but at least the father of all things will never turn into a religion. Only myths will remain.”
“··· ···”
“You probably want to cut off my wrist. But the Father of all knows very well. The moment you touch me, the world will end.”
It’s not an empty word, you’ll want to tear me apart right now. But considering what happened in Starbirk, that couldn’t be the case.
The moment something happens to me, the gods of the earth will rush to take action.
After that, of course, colonization or destruction. It is said that no matter how hard you try, everything goes back to nothing.
From the perspective of the father of all things, it will far exceed the level of opening your eyes and cutting your nose. No matter how hard you try, there is no way.
“You know it’s self-earned. This wouldn’t have happened if the devil worshiper hadn’t done anything wrong. There’s no way.”
A hand that can be used over there? In fact, there is nothing, and even the last outburst doesn’t work.
If damage comes to me while struggling, the fate of this world is over. He’s a creative god and he’s not cheap.
From the moment I passed into this world, the end of the father of all things was decided.
“I know you’re still watching me. So please answer me. Are you sure you’re going all the way?”
It doesn’t matter if you go all the way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. The Father of all can do nothing.
Since even the wise man was captured, his limbs were cut off. Of course, you may have had some precautions in place.
But there are many questionable parts. First up is Laos, the crown prince of Terce Kingdom.
‘He openly showed suspicious behavior, but if you don’t know, you’re an idiot.’
Thanks to the media in Terse Kingdom, I was forced to come out as a saint. From then on he had his doubts.
Although the demon worshipers messed up the press directly, the dynamics of the Kingdom of Terse are unusual.
Even if it is quiet, it is too quiet. There may be some control over the inner room, but it is similar to the situation before the storm, just before a typhoon blows.
There is also a letter sent by Queen Maria before her. It had nothing to do with the Ters royal family and said it was an arbitrary act.
‘It wouldn’t be bad to visit Terse Kingdom at least once.’
The Kingdom of Terse is a country that uses Luminous as its state religion. Since you’re holding it in Luminus’s field of vision, you should be able to see what kind of scheming he’s plotting.
However, it is literally just a heart attack, so it is necessary to thoroughly understand it. It’s dangerous, but it can’t be helped.
For no reason, it seemed like a big incident was about to happen. I have such a feeling.
“Please answer me, Sage.”
“··· ···”
“Sage?”
But the sage doesn’t answer and just stares at me. It looked like a doll, so I felt even creepy.
Kate also felt something unusual about her, so she touched the wise man. She has no reaction.
At the time he put on a questionable expression, wondering what was going on, the wise man’s mouth, which had been heavily closed, opened.
[You’re an arrogant guy.]
Are you right? You’re here.
The sage spoke in a voice he had never heard before. It is a voice that has a strong resonance even though it seems to be noisy.
As soon as Kate heard that voice, she felt unimportant and slipped back. At the same time she came near me and drew her mace.
Hwareuk!
From noble mtl dot com
Golden, brilliant flames wrapped around the mace. Perhaps because she received special training from Clark, her purity seems to have become stronger.
But it will be useless. Anyway, the wise man is no different from a discard card, so if you defeat him, this is your loss.
Instead, it’s not bad to prepare just in case. Because the other side could have rushed after you died and I died.
“Looks like you’re in the mood for a conversation now.”
[Even if the world we live in changes, the arrogance of mankind does not change.]
“Originally, children are the mirror of their parents.”
The sage’s pupils have changed before he knew it. It may be hard to believe, but it seems that the waves are rolling even though the eyes are sunken as deep as the abyss.
“······Could it be an incarnation?”
After confirming the wise man’s pupils, Kate opened her eyes wide in amazement. It’s extremely rare for her to react like that.
“Did you say incarnation?”
“······Yes. You can tell by looking at the eyes. One of Hwashin’s characteristics is the eyes.”
Come to think of it, compared to before, the pupils are different. When he put me into a trap, only his voice changed, but his eyes stayed the same.
But now even the pupils have changed. The sea, with eyes reminiscent of the abyss.
[Because of your arrogance, this world will run down the road to destruction. Aren’t you afraid of the punishment?]
The sage, no, the being presumed to be the father of all things spoke to me in a calm yet strong tone.
It’s a punishment… To be honest, I’m afraid. It’s a shame that the earth gods are behind me, otherwise it could have disappeared without mice or birds.
But I can cut it off here. Death itself is not scary. A body that has already died once, even if it dies again, it will be reincarnated according to the natural order.
What I am afraid of is the family who will mourn my death. Moreover, Marie is pregnant with my child and she can never die.
“It’s not arrogance, it’s confidence. I’d like to ask you a question. Why are you so obsessed with this world?”
[This is the world I created. It is natural to be attached.]
“It’s attachment… I don’t have anything else to say about that part.”
It’s a world he created, so it’s inevitable to have affection. Only this was enough to understand the Father of all things.
But this isn’t love, it’s obsession. If I can’t have it, I’d rather turn it into ashes.
I thought of one thing after hearing that from the father of all things.
“Really… You’re very human.”
[What did you say?]
“I said it was human.”
Luminus is the same, Mora is the same, Hirt is the same, and the Father of all things is the same. It’s so human.
Persons with a healthy body and a healthy mind still have joy, anger and sorrow.
The scale was large, but it was human enough that even humans could understand it.
“And that is also the reason why the Father of All will not be respected forever. He is overzealous and harms himself as well as others.”
[Do you know anything about faith? Do you know what a great happiness it is to be worshiped?]
“Is that kind of person trying to reset the world? Or is it like Noah’s ark to destroy the world, leaving only a few devil worshipers behind?”
The father of all things has been obsessed with the world for so long that normal thought circuits are impossible.
Religious? You don’t know how sweet it is. Because I haven’t even completed my divinity yet.
However, all those who worshiped the Father of all were only those who had a bad taste.
When a village was brainwashed as a group, Laura was brutally abused, and some of the devil worshipers even went as far as human sacrifice.
Can we really call this a normal way? Absolutely not.
“I told the sage too, but it was too soon. The devil worshipers who worship you have become an evil in this world that must be eliminated. But in my world, there were more people than devil worshipers.”
All sorts of incidents and accidents have occurred in the utopia that the father of all things wanted, that is, the earth. The culmination of which is the madness of World War II.
Nazi Germany and Japan conducted brutal experiments on humans that were difficult to describe in words, and even the United States, which believed in justice, conducted similar experiments.
At the time, they were not defined as ‘evil’. This is because it was literally nothing more than an experiment because it was an era in which ethics were properly shattered.
“On the other hand, this place has a very high sense of ethics compared to the times. Even when Savior committed a witch hunt, Luminus directly stopped him.
[What do you mean?]
“What did you see that influenced the thoughts of the world I lived in?”
This is the question I wanted to ask so much. If you’ve ever witnessed Earth’s madness, you might have changed your mind.
Of course, the father of all things did not observe World War II, when the madness reached its peak. If I had seen it, I might have changed my mind.
But even if you exclude that, Earth’s history is covered with all sorts of madness. From a culture that makes you admire just by looking at it, to a barbaric idea.
It’s to the point where it’s even said that the fuck was fucked. Human evil is beyond imagination.
[On the contrary, I want to ask this. Are you saying you like a world ruled by us?]
“That means there are pros and cons. A certain transcendental person is corrupt? Then you can ask someone who hates that transcendental person. I will worship you, so please mess with that bastard.”
Religion is close to ‘voting’ in terms of democracy. The existence that lives by faith is God, and you can use it as a weapon.
An example is Luminus and Mora. The two are in charge of war and peace, respectively, and are easy to use because they have conflicting powers.
However, the Earth is doing its own thing without any such thing. The potential is great, but various thoughts are bursting out.
[If that happened, humanity would have been unable to develop and become stagnant.]
“No. Absolutely not.”
[On what grounds do you say that?]
The grounds are sufficient and overflowing. Earth’s history speaks for itself.
The history of fighting each other on a fictional day is close to 10,000 years. However, one of them, which can be called ‘World War’, occurred only 100 years ago.
Also, about 200 years before World War II, the Industrial Revolution broke out. Then, what was the era before the Industrial Revolution?
“Even though the earth I lived on was full of free will, the era was similar for 1700 years based on A.D. Population and cities increased, and wars grew a little bigger, but life was the same. However, the standards of the 1700s has recorded explosive growth. After all, it means that the growth rate increases from a certain point.”
[Until that period…]
“This world would be no different. No, rather, it would have been faster since there were dwarves.”
The father of all things kept his mouth shut. You know very well what I’m talking about.
I opened my mouth quietly, looking at God, who can only be said to be truly human.
“It’s far-fetched. In the end.”
[··· ···]
“The Father of all things is certainly wise, but his wisdom is hidden from his eyes and covers even his wisdom. And that is called arrogance.”
[Shut up!]
Boom!
As expected, even if it is a god, factual violence is painful. It is certain when you see the father of all things kicking off his chair and standing up.
While Kate was wary of his sudden action, aiming her mace at him, I just watched with a calm expression.
It’s very sad to see him desperately trying to extort the world he created.
I would rather have exited coolly like Cronus or Uranus, but I felt a strong sense of ugliness.
[You’re talking recklessly about a pierced mouth! Since ancient times, I have clearly observed what kind of end a mortal who speaks like you will face!]
“It’s the last time…”
When I heard the word last, I quietly got up from my seat. Subsequently, he proudly faced the father of all things full of anger.
“Tell me.”
[What?]
“I wonder what the father of all things will say about my end. Please tell me what my end will be like. They say that even before I came, prophecies were spreading prophecies.”
At my words, the father of all things put on a puzzled expression. Even so, prophecy doesn’t work for me.
To be exact, no one will know my future due to the restrictions placed by the earth god. It is no different even if you are a god.
[······Do you dare mock me? I know very well what tricks they did.]
Although normal thinking is impossible, it seems that some reason remains. This is a bit disappointing
Before, Morgan said that if someone called themselves a prophet, she would give them a slap in the face. What kind of prophet is a prophet who does not even know what lies ahead?
But I hate to use violence. You don’t know what will happen if you contact the sage now.
“Okay. My future is unreadable. So what about yours?”
[What?]
“Can you tell me what the future holds for you?”
At my question, the father of all things puts on a dumbfounded expression. Then he answers with a slightly hardened face.
[I am…]
“From now on, I will express the father of all things as a eunuch.”
[··· ···]
The father of all things shuts his mouth as soon as he says that. I don’t know if he really peeked into his future.
However, as soon as those words came out of my mouth, you would have noticed that the probability of that happening converged to 100%.
“I don’t know how the father of all things came to be, so I don’t know whether to describe him as handsome or ugly. Oh, of course, when I see Luminus-sama, I think I’ll describe him as handsome.”
[I am…]
“I’m going to express it ugly in my later years. Everyone in the world will remember it that way. As a god who lost all faith and became ugly because of his wrong greed.”
The expression of the father of all things was very good to see. It’s ready to run right now.
With this, I drove in the final wedge.
“It’s been said since ancient times that people make prophecies without knowing their future. They are far-sighted.”
[··· ···]
“Luminus-nim also has various powers, but isn’t the father of all beings arrogant in that?”
[This bastard!!!]
In the end, the Father of All Things exploded after enduring it, and rushed at me. But now, the father of all things borrowed the body of a wise man.
In other words, it means that it can be solved by Kate Sun. Kate swung her mace as soon as he charged.
Cuckoo!
In the meantime, my head didn’t explode. It was just that the wise man flew away like a baseball hit by a bat.
I was a little worried as I looked at the sage impaled on the wall. I haven’t pulled out the information yet, but if I die, I’ll be in trouble.
“I’ll treat you right away. It’s still too early to die.”
“That’s good. Oh, Mr. Kate.”
“Yes. Please tell me.”
Kate looked at me with a kindly relieved smile. I faced her and smiled bitterly at her.
“It could be meddling, but don’t worry too much. I’ll tell you all about it later.”
“Why do you think Isaac’s advice is meddling? To prophesy without faith like the father of all is meddling.”
Fortunately, it seems that there is no confusion about faith. It was time to let out a sigh of relief.
“Isaak’s words are doctrine. Just keep that in mind.”
“·······Yes?”
I think I heard it wrong. I put a dumbfounded expression on Kate’s gentle smile.
“Sir Isaac speaks for you instead of Luminous. I think I know why he told you not to be silent and to speak up.”
“··· ···”
“I think I should hurry up and tell Cherry.”
Something else seems to be developing.
