free will
[We talk for a moment.]
“Conversation?”
[Maybe we were expecting the day to meet Leon like this. But we still don’t know what purpose you came here for.]
“I just want freedom.”
[Free?]
Primiti, the god of the sea and in charge of life, seemed to ponder for a moment before answering.
[Leon often said this. Freedom is a right that the powerful can enjoy. So does that mean that Leon wants power?]
“I never said that.”
To be precise, it was the person’s choice to determine a person’s exaltation, and that choice was possible only with freedom.
In order to achieve that freedom, any kind of power is needed.
Of course, depending on the interpretation, one might think of the freedom obtained through that power as a right.
It was Ashlord, the fire god, who stepped forward in Leon’s negation.
A being in the form of a giant whose whole body is blazing.
[Then why did you come here? I can fully guess why you subjugated the demons. However, if you have achieved your goal, why did you come to the realm of the heavenly gods?]
And the sun god, Flairs, continues those words.
[Are you greedy? After conquering all the demons, did you think that you would be able to dominate even the gods?]
As if those words were a catalyst, the hostility that was latent in the deities rises.
Depending on Leon’s answer, it was a sight as if his will to start the battle with a question-and-answer dance took shape and exerted his power.
“Because I just want freedom?”
Even with Leon’s answer, the hostility passed down from the gods did not diminish in the slightest.
The one who opened his mouth on their behalf was Kateriel, the god of existence, the god of the earth.
[That alone is difficult to understand. Please state your exact purpose.]
Leon hesitated for a moment.
Even if Leon explained the theories in his head, he could not guess to what extent they would understand.
So back to the question.
“What do you think the role of the gods is?”
The answer to that was Styrou, the sky god who is considered the greatest of the Seven Gods.
[To keep the shape of the world.]
Indeed, it was an answer that suited him as much as a rookie in charge of space and time.
“That’s right, but unfortunately that’s only half the answer.”
The one who opened his mouth was Flopia, the wind god in the form of a child.
[Maintaining world order.]
“Well, that’s probably the closest thing to the right answer.”
At Leon’s words, Flopia was one of the greatest gods, but she laughed and rejoiced like a child who had been praised by her parents.
“If you just keep maintaining the shape of the world, there would be no need for your gods and demons to confront each other. Whether the demons ruin the world or whatever they do, you just have to watch. Even if humans are destroyed by demons, the world will not be destroyed, right?”
[that······.]
The sky god Styrow shrugged his chin and thought for a moment, then acknowledged Leon’s words and shook his head.
“You are God. And at the same time it was a die.”
[dice?]
“My theory, no. These are the words of a prophet who gave me insight. God doesn’t roll dice. But it has been disproved by another prophet.”
At those words, Primiti, the sea god, widened her eyes as if realizing something.
[Is that something Leon told me one day? The story of a world where human knowledge reached the realm of the gods.]
“right. I learned a lot there and came back here, and it helped me understand what the role of your gods is. You are the dice.”
The lightning god Pastro tilted his head and asked.
[You mean we don’t roll the dice, but we are the dice?]
“okay. Demons have intervened in the world to bring out eyes 1 to 3, and your deities have intervened to bring out eyes 4 to 6. So far, it’s been doing its job well enough. The order of the world has been maintained, and the balance between heavenly and demonic spirits has been maintained, and a world in which all eyes from 1 to 6 are evenly distributed has been completed.”
Earth God Kateriel couldn’t stand the sight of Leon who was still talking incomprehensible and raised his voice.
[What does that have to do with what you are doing now!]
“Now the world is out of balance.”
[If you hadn’t defeated the demons, none of that would have happened.]
“no. Not now, but in the distant future.”
[What is that…?]
“The Battle of Cheonma ends with the victory of the demons. With my powers, I can’t foresee that far into the future yet, but you already knew that, didn’t you?”
The gods shut their mouths at Leon’s question.
After a moment of silence, the sky god Styrow answered.
[okay. The demons who succeeded in conquering the human world for the first time ruled by enslaving humans and sub-races, but all races except demons were scheduled to be annihilated by the schemes of the demons.]
“It would probably happen to all eyes from 1 to 6.”
A thousand years, ten thousand years, or a distant future beyond those units.
However, in the end, the influence of the intervention of the demons would have devoured the human world.
A world in which all of the parallel worlds close to infinity have been swallowed up.
A world where no matter how many dice are thrown, only one eye comes out.
“The Absolute who created this world did not want such a world. So he resurrected me to overturn that possibility. You gave me the knowledge that reached the realm of the gods, and I returned time to this place.”
Leon said, but the Seven Lords frowned with an expression that they could not understand the English language.
[What are you talking about now?]
[It is our Seven Gods who created the world. Even if we, the Seven Gods, do not have the power to resurrect you to another world or to return you back in time, it was our own choice to create this world.]
“Then where were you born?”
[What?]
“Why were you given the power to create this world? Even if you were accidentally created as a result of chance that no one intended in a cauldron infested with soul matter, did you accidentally share the ability to create the perfect world as it is now? Is that really a coincidence? Isn’t it more natural that there was an Absolute greater than you and that he made you?”
Leon said so and shook his head for a moment.
“no no. You sounded not like me. If you dare to look at it, there are many possibilities that you were created by chance. In a parallel world divided into infinity and where infinite time is repeated, it would be more scientific to see that you were created at the same time by chance and the world was constructed while different consciousnesses were awakened and died repeatedly. But I already know. You are a created being.”
[How to do that…]
“I know who the Absolute is who resurrected me to another world. To tell the truth, I can still feel it. This world you live in, your gaze looking down at this place from a higher dimension than the new realm.”
Some gods were startled by Leon’s words and looked up at the sky.
Some gods shook their heads in denial of Leon’s words.
They didn’t doubt that they were the greatest beings, because in fact they didn’t want to admit that there were even greater beings.
The most important Seven Lords all seemed to believe a little bit of Leon’s words.
In fact, they did not understand how they were born, how they were able to create the world, and why they wanted to create the world.
Perhaps something greater that created them was doubting that the Absolute existed.
[But even if such an Absolute does exist, how can you possibly comprehend his will?]
There is a saying in religion.
Humans cannot understand God’s intentions.Read at noblemtl.com
Just don’t doubt the fact that humans believe in God and that he’s trying to accomplish his will in a way we don’t understand.
Leon hesitated for a moment on how to respond to that, then answered.
“I just know.”
At those words, the Seven Gods looked at Leon with an expression of absurdity, even the deities surrounding them.
However, for now, Leon had no confidence to convince them as to why he was able to discern the will of the Absolute.
“Isn’t my intentions more important than that right now? If I force my will, will you be able to stop me?”
At Leon’s provocative remarks, the hostility of the gods grew stronger once again.
Leon said, waving his hand at him.
“Wait for a moment. I have no intention of fighting you either. I just want freedom.”
[…we have no intention of suppressing your freedom.]
“But the freedom I want is the freedom of the world. A dice that rolls out all the eyes from 1 to 6. Now that I have conquered all the demons, the world has reached a state where only the eyes of six can appear.”
[Isn’t that a good thing then?]
“Not at all. It’s no different than a dice that rolls only 1 on a dice that rolls only 6 with no other possibilities. A dice is meaningful because the numbers from 1 to 6 come out evenly, but if there is only one eye, the number of dots on the dice means nothing more than just dots.”
A world where demon gods are annihilated and only gods rule over it must be an utopia.
It is the realization of heaven on earth.
There is no crisis that threatens people in the world,
You can easily eat and live without having to work,
cause harm to others for one’s own gain, or
There is no such thing as unknowingly making mistakes.
All people enjoy the heavenly water,
A world where no one cries and only laughter will come true.
“But it’s just a doll.”
Humans fall into scarecrows that simply act as the gods play with them.
In order to realize the ideal of no crying, no despair, no harm to each other, no mistakes, we must kill all human free will, centralize all possibilities, and only move according to the will of the gods.
[Then what do you mean…….]
“I’m here to advise you to stop acting as a god.”
God doesn’t roll dice.
Rolling the dice is enough for the world itself.
In the quantum-dimensional microscopic world, all particles and energies are probabilistically superimposed to form waves with the laws that the gods have already formed. established,
such a free world.
A world full of possibilities.
[There is no way we can accept such words!]
[Are you telling us to give up our role as gods!]
[Then what should we do next?]
“You can live a normal life. You too are free to live in a world full of possibilities.”
[What?]
“Time passes even in the new world. But you have repressed your own freedom to free the lower dimension, to decorate it with a world full of possibilities. Perhaps you think that your own will has been working to obtain, like money, fragments of power that have no meaning, whether karma or not, but what does that mean? Power certainly begets freedom, but what does that mean when you give up freedom to acquire power? You have meaning just by being. You are the one who creates and maintains the laws of physics in the world. So, all we have to do is open up the possibilities of the new world and create a differentiated world. By your own actions and choices.”
Leon manifested his powers.
Only now, Leon is known as the God of Truth, but
In fact, the first god’s name given to Leon was not like that.
Leon’s first deity is the ‘God of Free Will’.
In order for the world to form an orderly shape, you would think that the gods and demons had come to rub the world together with their own will, but
In fact, it is not.
It was a good example that earthquakes and tectonic movements did not occur in this world until Leon appeared.
No matter how the gods influence the lower dimensions and change their history, it is just one of the other parallel worlds that exist here in the new realm.
Whatever the gods do, it is said that they are nothing but predetermined events that have already been decided from the moment the new realm was created.
deterministic fate.
The gods may have thought that they were doll-like beings who eventually lived a set history, looking at the subworld that did not change no matter what they did, but in fact, the gods themselves were dolls.
Up until this moment, they were nothing more than cogs that had created the world order for the Absolute who made them.
The world begins to divide from this moment on.
Leon, who has absorbed and understood most of the powers of demons as well as the powers of gods, and can handle them like hands and feet, opened the door to the higher dimensions of the divine realm, giving the gods freedom and possibility.
The gods were afraid of Leon.
At first, I thought that it was only because of his existence that caused a tectonic shift and disaster in the new realm.
He thought that he had disturbed the peace by causing a change in a world where there had been no change until now, and that he had disrupted the order.
But it’s not like that.
Leon’s existence itself had an effect on the gods.
The tectonic shift is a sign that the new world is splitting into a parallel world.
It was a sign of freedom.
The dolls, who had been living a life that had been predestined only by fate, were afraid of the sudden freedom they were given.
That’s why the gods avoided getting involved with Leon.
Because I was afraid of the freedom given to me for a moment when I was involved with Leon.
But at this moment, the gods could feel free without Leon any longer.
A feeling as if the heavy, formless chains that bound his whole body had come off and he could do anything.
At the same time, the weight of responsibility of not knowing what the consequences of their actions would be came upon them.
Freedom was like that.
[I hope, I hope you are…!]
Leon smiled slightly and looked up at the sky as the sea god Primiti, who seemed to have noticed something, opened his eyes and muttered.
“Now the door is open. Now it’s time to go. Then I’ll leave Berseria to you. Don’t call me a demon for nothing, and just get along with each other.”
Primiti reached out and stopped Leon and started shouting something, but Leon had no intention of delaying here any longer.
above the gods.
It took a big step forward to the higher dimension where the Absolute would exist.
