386 – Side Story: Divinity
The sun and moon rose together in the sanctuary. As soon as he heard those words, he looked at the goddess right in front of him. If this situation occurs, in most cases, Eclipse is the cause.
However, Eclipse also looked genuinely embarrassed. First of all, it wasn’t Eclipse’s fault, so what’s left is…….
“… ….”
All I can say is that it is my fault. In the Holy Kingdom, the only beings who can move the sun and moon, which are the concepts that symbolize God, are either me or Eclipse.
But I didn’t do anything.
“Goddess. “What happened?”
“Wait a minute…… Um, so…… I know what’s going on. “Do you know that the faith of the Holy Kingdom has increased significantly compared to before?”
“How could you not know?”
It happened because of me, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know.
“If we were to look at the reason, we could say that was the cause.”
Eclipse lifted his shade and spread his hand into the air. He then began to explain, folding them one by one with his opposite thumb and index finger.
“First of all, the faith and sacred power of the humans residing in the Holy Kingdom of Rafaella have risen above a certain level. Second, these humans all know about the existence of Sanctuary and its purpose. Third, my faith in you also grew rapidly in a short period of time. And fourthly, although my faith in you has grown, my faith in me has not diminished at all.”
His four fingers were folded one after another, his thumb and index finger touching the last one. I grabbed the last remaining little finger and flicked it back and forth little by little.
“The last fifth. Faith becomes faith and divine power. As a result of the infinite amplification of faith and divine power, the place was transformed into a sanctuary in the true sense of the word. Of course, it is a little lower than here, but it means that it has become a place where divinity can be contained. “Because of the faith of me and the people who serve you.”
“…… “Was that possible?”
I asked back in astonishment. So, to sum it up, wouldn’t it be that the faith of the people of the Holy Kingdom came together and the human world became sacred? I never imagined that would be possible.
“Generally speaking, it is impossible. “In general.”
Eclipse came into my arms.
“A truly enormous amount of faith and divine power must be possessed, the purity of that faith and divine power must also be high, and the object of that faith must also be able to accept the divinity created by an enormous amount of faith. “If one of the three is lacking, it can never be achieved.”
The head touched my chest as if pampering me.
“That’s why I said it was generally impossible. There is no way I could have created a human with those conditions. “Even if the Pope of the Sun and the Pope of the Moon combined their powers, it wouldn’t be enough by hundreds of times.”
Next, he rubbed his face, then lifted his head and looked up at me.
“But you’re not typical, are you?”
“… ….”
“A person who has the same divine power as me, that is, a godhead, a person who can accept so many faiths, and a person who meets the qualifications by raising the faith of the people of the Holy Kingdom. It applies to all three types.”
“… ….”
“This result has come about because of you, a huge amount of faith flowing in, your belief in the concept of ‘sanctuary’ itself becoming stronger, and you becoming more like me. “I never thought a future like this would unfold, but as expected, there’s never a dull moment when I’m with you.”
Of course, it’s a bit unfortunate that we were on the verge of doing something more interesting, Eclipse added, sticking out her tongue. I pondered over the explanation that had just been given and asked a question.
“In short, is this because the faith and divine power of the people of the Holy Kingdom have become so strong that it has become like this?”
“Yes, that’s right. “There are complex factors such as you being able to withstand that force or your faith in yourself has grown, but that’s the bottom line.”
I don’t know how far one snowball will roll. I gently pressed my finger between my eyes. My head hurt a lot. I had no idea things would grow in this direction.
“It’s okay, you.”
Eclipse grabbed my cheek and pulled me in so our foreheads touched. Eclipse’s face filled my field of vision. Then, strangely enough, I felt like my throbbing head had calmed down.
“If it gets better, it gets better, because there’s nothing that can harm you.”

“…… So what should I do now?”
“What should I do? “It is thanks to my faith and belief in you, so I should announce it and be looked up to even more.”
“When it comes to respect, it’s still overflowing, isn’t it?”
If I think about how the people of Seongguk view me right now, the answer will come out. It was a request from my side to get more attention here.
But Eclipse just smiled and pressed his face against my chest. Do I really have to do this? I hesitated for a moment, but soon made up my mind.
According to Luna’s explanation, the conclusion on earth was that it was half my fault anyway. They say this happened after I ascended to heaven.
So, denying it now will not be of much help.
“I just looked into a few futures that existed as possibilities and then disappeared. It was going to happen someday, sooner or later. “It’s just that the moment has come now.”
Eclipse whispered softly as if to give strength to my heart.
Well, if you look at the cause, it was something that would have happened at some point. As the faith and faith of the people of the Holy Kingdom accumulated and my divinity became stronger, the probability would have increased. As Eclipse said, the moment was now.
“Um, you…” ….”
Eclipse stuttered awkwardly.
“If you go down to the ground and come back up…… Ha, you can keep doing what you’re doing…… Because I was interrupted…….”
“Oh, about that.”
I grabbed Eclipse’s shoulder and pushed her slightly. What happens to Eclipse, who has been pushed back a step? He looked at me with those eyes.
“I don’t know anything else, but you can’t lie in Bronn 5.”
“Yes…… ?”
“Are you ready to be punished?”
On that day, a new legend was engraved in the Holy Kingdom. The sanctuary became a literal sanctuary.
Upon hearing of the birth of the sanctuary, the Holy Kingdom of Raphaela was not enthusiastic. I was so consumed by madness that I couldn’t even pray for days.
The entire castle simply stopped for a week.
Because all existing humans have lost consciousness.
“This place… ….”
Rustling, the sound of exactly 12 people’s footsteps treading the dirt path etched between the flower field and the grass field. Everyone was looking around in amazement.
A world where the sun and moon coexist, a world where day and night coexist, and a world where gods and humans coexist. The place they entered was such a world.
“Why aren’t you crying, Pope?”
Caecilia asked Luna, who was standing blankly. It was the same not only for Luna, but also for Floretta, Stella, and Selene. All four just stood there blankly without any reaction.
“Your people have set foot in the land of the sun and the moon. Shouldn’t you burst into tears of joy, cheer, and be wild?”
Looking at the way she spoke, it sounded like she was being sarcastic, but to Caiquilia, she was saying it out of genuine curiosity.
What are the positions of Floretta and Luna right now? Are they the Pope of the Sun and the Pope of the Moon? If such two people arrived in the land of the sun and moon, they would naturally react more ‘violently’.
But the Popes were very calm, just looking around with faces full of emotion.
“It would have been like that in the past. “The moment he set foot on the ground, his heart would have exploded with joy and he might have died.”
“It would have been like that in the past? Does that mean it’s not like that now?”
“Yes. “Before I become Moon Pope ‘Luna’, isn’t there someone I must serve as a human ‘Seraphica Isar’?”
“…..”
Caecilia, realizing the meaning behind her words, turned to her side. She is a man with black hair and black eyes who is talking about something next to Minerva.
“I understand.”
And then he chuckled.
Caecilia was no different.
“It’s in the water, so it’s probably not that bad.”
Minerva, who was trying to create a simple space with magic, waved her hand. Mana turned into blue light and disappeared. The corners of her eyes turned towards me seductively. It was an expression of mischief.
“hehehe, I feel it again, but the child is really great too. “I had no idea you would be this active.”
“What?”
“We mixed our bodies on the ground, and we will mix our bodies in the sky, now in the water.”
“Do you know that this is what the sanctuary was made for?”
“Oh my, wasn’t it?”
When I got angry, Minerva couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
“But in order to raise a child, you must first create a child. Doesn’t the child know too? Right now, it’s a week in the sanctuary of the Holy Kingdom—”
“Now that I think about it, it looks like you haven’t quite mastered the magic I showed you.”
Minerva stopped laughing and closed her mouth, as if wondering when she had last laughed. She then grabbed her lower abdomen and stepped back a little, it seemed like she didn’t want to be attacked a second time.
It was the only magic I was talking about here.
“You told Ms. Farnari that you don’t like feeling good, and she even told you the same expression, but she doesn’t want you to be like that?”
Minerva seemed to have run out of words to reply and quietly walked away. If Minerva, who clung to her the most after the Popes, was like that, then what kind of sense did she have?
ㅡWelcome, humans.
A voice was heard from the sky. Floretta, Luna, Stella, and Selene fell to their knees in shock. Everyone else looked blankly at the place where the voice came from. Caecilia was no exception.
‘It’s finally here.’
She raised her head. The space between the sun and the moon became distorted, and the light inside swirled like a whirlwind, pushing away the nearby space. The space itself was tangled around, creating something geometric.
A ray of light split into dozens of branches and then split into thousands of branches, and each of those branches enveloped the dimension. Each dimension wrapped in light formed just one staircase.
Someone stepped onto that dimension.
ㅡTogak, togak… ….
The sound of high heels rang. Before I knew it, someone was coming down the stairs that had turned into a stylish staircase, like the main character in a large ballroom.
Except for the four on Seongguk’s side who were barely holding on, all eight of them could not hold on and fell to their knees. Because now she was in a situation where she was greeting her guests not as Eclipse, but as a goddess.
I was overwhelmed by the swirling divinity.
ㅡThat you came to my dimension.
Roar, the Popes trembled. There were no exceptions except me. Everyone here was bowing their heads, overwhelmed by the light.
Therefore, I could not confirm Eclipse’s clothes and her face.
‘…… ‘Why do I feel even more embarrassed when I cover my body?’
Wearing a black suit coat that goes down to the ankles, a white dress shirt with the chest open, a black tie tucked into the valley between the breasts covered in black lingerie, and a tight-fitting suit. Wearing pants.
And I feel even more embarrassed than when I was only wearing three pieces of cloth.
‘…… Why?’
I couldn’t confirm Eclipse’s face.
