Lightning didn’t fall from the sky – 15
I told the lightning thief about the mess outside.
“Fighting for the faith is for the sake of the faith. Fighting for the ancestors or the tribe is literally for the ancestors and the tribe. If you kill humans for that reason, how can that be for humans? A few sacrifices? Only those who did not die today can enjoy the same today as yesterday until tomorrow. There is no tomorrow for those who die today.”
I hurriedly added before I could say anything more about the lightning thief.
“Ah, what are you talking about? It’s natural for animals to kill each other. Whether it’s food, females, or territories, killing others for one’s own needs has always been the case and nothing new.”
“Do you even approve of such a massacre?”
“Does it disappear if you deny it? What difference does it make if you curse me while you’re dead? The person who is stopping the massacre here is neither the Seonghwangcheong nor the vampire. It’s not you, who’s already dead, or me who’s peeling nogarina here. Only man-loving beasts are desperate to stop a fight.”
Who is better, who is worse. What should be done That’s too far-fetched thinking. Even a hermit living in the tidal flats frowns, saying that one should not look at what has already happened.
“You want to save humans? If so, please prove it. I mean, put your all in it and exert your strength here. You’re dead, but the demon’s traces are engraved in the world, so you can use your power, right?”
“You don’t have to. For times like this, Claudia’s defense function is there. As long as it works.”
“You mean the power that Thunderstorm can use? Who will she use her powers on? Is the direction of that force for ‘humans’ you think?”
Thunderstorm will most likely shoot me and Peru first. Elder can’t die unless he’s killed close to suicide, so it’s clear he’ll kill me, who’s easy to die.
“If it’s your will, I’ll take it. But don’t even say that it’s for humans. Because I can’t admit it.”
“I don’t need your recognition.”
“Then I will change my words. If you forsake them, you will not be able to accept yourself as a human being.”
Ajina Regressor Even if you say that, Peru will surely die if left alone. The power of jannok she uses will eat away at her body, which was regenerated by the golden mirror. All human beings are nearing the end, but Peru’s end is much closer than that of others, and now the cruel clock is winding many times faster.
There is not much time left. It’s time for the lightning thief to make a choice. The lightning thief, realizing that he was being tested on the contrary, said with a tight grip on the kite.
“Are you testing me?”
“The dead talk a lot. Decide quickly. Because I want to know what kind of person you were calling out to.”
It doesn’t matter which choice you make. It’s just like that. However, the lightning thief in front of him is his image engraved in the world. The images read through mind reading can never lie or turn away from the truth.
If you sincerely choose your faith, please go to the heavenly god soon.
“… What is your purpose, King of Men? Are you trying to bring this world back to a barbarian age? To that terrible time before the first year?”
“Am I a person with the ability to turn back time? How do you turn it around?”
“Then what? Why are you looking for knowledge that might destroy demons, and possibly humans? What are you going to do?”
Of course, I can’t lie here either. I was an honest person from the beginning, so there is no problem.
“It’s to remind us that humans are beasts.”
Toward the lightning thief, I calmly conveyed my sincerity.
“Ideal, justice, truth, cause, morality. Even though all of them look so beautiful and great, they are just tools made by humans to use them as they please. They use it to create reasons to kill others, and then use that as an excuse to kill humans. If it’s real, I’m supposed to fight them on behalf of humans, but unfortunately it’s in the human mind, so I can’t see it, and I can’t kill it. Shall I split the head and get it out? Or should I kill all humans and get rid of them? Can’t you?”
No, is there? Is that the case with the King of Sins? Well, it’s not something I did or do, so it’s nothing to know. Anyway.
“We are not that great. They are equally insignificant and lowly beasts. He was not chosen by God, and he had no right to freely handle everything in the world. What we’re doing is essentially no different than a beast rolling around in the mud in the midday heat. To convince myself, and thus to all human beings.”
That’s why I’m still the king of beasts. He muttered calmly and looked at the lightning thief. His face was stained with contempt, disgust, and anxiety.
He wasn’t in a bad mood. Because that expression of the lightning thief was not directed at me.
“… Also, I can’t agree with you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you disagree. Because I already knew what you were trying to hide. The secret has been revealed since I came here in the first place.”
Why is he here in the first place? Even though he gave himself up to his faith and offered to be their servant, he agreed to return the thunderbolt to the sky and make it his own. Even though he decided to transform the tale of the lightning thief into a foolish tale of stealing the great heavenly treasure, his image is here. What does that mean?
“What happened when the lightning bolt struck you, running through your body on a kite line?”
“… !”
“What did you feel from the thunderbolt that made you so afraid of its power being known? Why were you wary of the homunculus of nations that didn’t even exist until then, and prevented them from being born?”
The truth the lightning thief wanted to hide. Not even afraid of falling lightning, he shuddered after being hit by it. For he had stole secrets that were terrifying to recall, truths that were not to be peeked out.
“The lightning you stole and gave to humans literally only came from the sky. But that’s just a fraction of it. Because, the real thunderbolt was on the ground in the first place.”
Thunderbolts did not fall from the sky. Been here from the beginning
Fran, the lightning thief, was struck by lightning. In the literal shock of a thunderbolt in his head, he realized something.
When his hands and arms holding the kite trembled, his hamstrings tingled regardless of his brilliant wisdom and cool-headed reason, when his bladder relaxed and dirty liquid flowed all over his body. When this body caused ugliness, even the name of a sage who had trained both the mind and body to the limit.
Fran realized. The lightning thief’s miserable face lies beyond his will, faith, and commitment. The thunderbolt was touching his body in a more fundamental part than the pain.
As if pulling every corner of his body with a thread…. He noticed the lightning moving through his body.
So you were trying to hide it. If the body was made with the alchemy of the golden mirror, the senses and spirit that move the body could have been blown into it with lightning. Of course, that alone would be impossible, but a sage who believed in the purity of the mind more than anyone else would have been reluctant to suggest such a possibility.
“Don’t feel bad. It was the truth that would come out someday anyway. The idea of striking lightning directly into your body may not be yours alone. Well, there’s no one other than you who would do that on your own.”
“… Also, I can’t follow you.”
Fran glared at me like he was going to kill me, and wound his kite a couple of times and pulled it.
He seemed to have pulled a bolt of lightning hidden in the clouds. The lightning that was still far away comes down. The poor kite that met the wrong owner is first sacrificed by lightning, and the electric current flowing along the string burns Fran’s whole body. The electric current seeping from his fingertips beat him to death.

If it were a normal human being, even if he died dozens of times, the shock would overflow, but it had no effect on Fran. Because this place is in the image, that is not the only reason.
Because the two were one from the beginning.
“The King of Humans. I don’t agree with you, but this time I’ll do what you want.”
He, who became the incarnation of lightning, stretched out his hand.
What does the name Sijo mean to Elder? Beginning and end. A savior who saved them from the brink of death, and the owner of a second life that will take their lives someday. He is a king to be loved and loyal to with all his blood, and a tribal god to be respected and worshiped.
So vampires don’t believe in God. Because no fool would choose a heresy over a real God who actually moves in front of his eyes.
“Don’t be reckless. Tyrkanjaka will come soon.”
In that sense, Shay was an unbeliever who brought up the name of God in the subject of livestock. Contemplating whether to be angry at the daring to mention the founder’s name as a friend, or to wait and see as he might be a real friend, Valdamir withheld his judgment for a moment. It’s not too late to gather more information and make a decision.
Valdamir turned his head and looked across him. On Claudia’s side, a structure the size of a garden towered.
There is no way for Shay to stop the fight between the Steel Saint and Tyrkanjaka. In the first place, no one would be able to stop the near-invincible two.
So Shay separated the two. He caused the ground to rise with his jizan, sliding both of them in opposite directions. Both Tyrkanjaka and Ferel are monsters that can crush the ground, but they still cannot stand without stepping on anything. Following the unavoidable laws of nature, the two slipped in opposite directions.
Thus, Tirkanjaka arrived here. Tirkanjaka, who was looking around while standing up, suddenly noticed a familiar face collapsed and hurriedly approached.
“… Phew?”
