Chapter 361 - God of the Sky (5)
Chapter 361 – God of the Sky (5)
“Oh, the God of the Sky is beating a man. Oh, it stings.”
I wandered around the God of Order with my face flowing with blood.
Of course, I wouldn’t bleed just because my face was stabbed.
It was the blood I made for a more colorful presentation.
The God of the Sky did not respond.
He didn’t even budge as he was bound by the God of Order.
[Mad lad.]
The scornful curse of the God of Hope flowed in.
[Do you know that the intelligence of the God of Order is at the level of a monkey? How about you stop using that appearance because I’m embarrassed to look at you.]
When I listened to the God of Hope, I became a little bit embarrassed myself.
I stopped the blood that was flowing like a waterfall and returned to the front of the God of the Sky.
So self-harm blackmail didn’t work.
Too bad.
I wanted to find out how the God of Order would move after the God of the Sky attacked me.
Would the sanctions be strengthened, or would he take action?
If not, would he judge me as an attack against the God of the Sky under his jurisdiction and try to intervene against me?
Whatever I did, I thought I could test the behavior of the God of Order through that action.
It was really worth trying.
Above all, I thought it would really work.
If the God of Order is as the God of Hope had explained.
If it exists as the system itself.
If he’s a self-less mechanical god.
I thought he could act with the fact that I had been injured by the spear of the God of the Sky.
Or maybe he wasn’t aware that I was attacked.
Because the damage was too minor?
Will it change if I take a little more lethal damage?
For the sake of experimentation, one or two arms could be cut off by the spear blade of the God of the Sky.
It’s easy to recover anyway.
This time, before implementing the idea, I sought advice from the God of Hope.
[… How could it be? The God of Order would have already recognized it. It is not a wound according to the will of the God of the Sky. And that you’re trying to blackmail him.]
The God of Hope said in a low voice and swallowed his sigh.
Somehow, it was a voice that was filled with pathetic feelings.
Even a little regret.
What are you regretting?
[Would you like to stop doing this and return to your planet?]
The God of Hope keeps whining.
It was no different from a child who whined to his parents to return home.
Anyway.
The purpose is to understand the God of Order.
It’s a matter of course.
I underestimated the intelligence level of the God of Order.
I thought that artificial intelligence that would become the most powerful god in the world is an artificial intelligence of the level that Earth’s science could achieve.
“Then how about cutting myself on the blade of the God of Order?”
[… Please stop…….]
The God of Hope groaned.
*
To begin with, it failed.
Attempting to blackmail the God of Order by self-harm.
“Did you know?”
[… Of course I didn’t know. You were the first to come up with the idea of approaching the God of Order and attacking yourself.]
Surely.
There must have been a few people who thought the same thing as me before.
[There wasn’t.]
Just because the God of Hope doesn’t know, doesn’t mean there weren’t any.
At least one.
[I’m sure, there wasn’t. And if there were any beings who tried to do such crazy things to the God of Order, how would I have no idea? I am an apostle of the God of Order.]
He boasted.
He was so scared of the God of Order that he couldn’t wait to run away.
[Usually, when facing the God of Order, it is common to try to escape the situation, to be discouraged, or to run away. There has never been a case where someone attempted a stupid experiment like you did.]
Well.
I could understand.
In the first place, in front of the God of Order, there will be only a few beings who can fully maintain reason.
Between all the gods of the Hundred Gods Temple and the Pantheon, there would not even be a hundred.
Anything less than that would not even be able to touch it in the first place.
I told my thoughts to the God of Hope.
[A hundred? It’s not even ten.]
“What ten, there’s the old man and the giants…….”
Without much thought, I looked back at the old man and giants.
And I could see them frozen in tension.
[I don’t know when the excitement of the battle paralyzed their reason, but there aren’t many beings who can face that with a calm head.]
I think so.
The emotions on the faces of the giants were not fear.
Fortunately.
Rather, it was closer to the tension and pressure felt by the warriors facing the bloodiest battle of their lifetime.
It was amazing.
Even though it is clear that the God of Order has no intention of harming us, they have such feelings.
That’s why the God of Order has a great presence.
Just being there is enough to press their minds.
“Old man.”
[King, we are ready.]
Ready for what?
All of a sudden.
[We will not back down. We will fight together!]
“Okay, just go somewhere else.”
[King!]
“Noisy.”
I sent the old man and the crowd of giants to another place.
At this time, I also sent Grandmother and the other giants.
I sent a message to continue the pursuit of the remnants of the Pantheon gods before the summons.
Grandmother answered affirmatively, but the old man did not.
The attack on the God of Order seems to have inflicted mental damage one way or another.
After all this work is over, I think he will need separate care.
“It’s hard to reach a fight.”
I grumbled for nothing.
Then I reached out my hand toward the blade of the God of Order again.
[Can you stop doing this and go back?]
I can’t.
I ignored the words of the God of Hope.
Reaching out my hand, I tried to touch the golden blade.
Naturally, the cold and sharp texture peculiar to refined metal was expected.
But my fingertips just passed through the golden blade.
Like holding air.
Like trying to touch a hologram projected by light.
It was also fun.
After becoming a god, I believed that there would be no unknown realms to me.
I thought that even though there are stories of the past that I do not know, there are no unknown abilities that I do not know.
I thought I understood and mastered all the powers in the world.
The fact that an unknown realm did not exist gave me a strange emotional sense of stability.
But on the other hand, it was a little sad.
The fact that there was no longer something to be discovered.
And today.
Contrary to my expectations, I was facing a number of abilities that touched the unknown.
The golden blade of the God of Order was still embedded in the incarnation of the God of the Sky.
But if I try to touch it.
My fingertips once again shook the air.
It is an illusion.
Is this possible?
It’s a real blade for the God of the Sky.
To me, it was just an illusion that was visible to the naked eye and did not exist materially.
This may be the reason why it did not suffer any damage from my Zit Pop, from the Old Man, and from the attacks of giants.
It’s an attack that can’t reach it in the first place.
Only the God of the Sky, who had been arrested, suffered damage, but he could not attack the God of Order.
It was mysterious.
In the midst of this, the God of the Sky was bound by the blades piercing his incarnation.
It was absurd.
Existence to one deity, and illusion to the other deity.
I tried a few things, but I couldn’t find a way to physically contact the blade of the God of Order.
If it were in my days when I was human, I would have skipped it and moved on.
Because the other person is God.
But now that I have become a god, I can clearly see how ridiculous it is.
It is applied to one deity and at the same time exists as an illusion to another.
[Why do you do that?]
Asked Seregia.
No, just.
Somehow it felt similar to Seregia.
The God of Order.
[It’s unpleasant.]
… What the hell
All of a sudden.
“Too bad.”
Somehow I wanted to find out the behavior of the God of Order.
It was a little far-fetched and foolish.
That’s because a certain deity’s behavioral style is valuable information.
The divinity of order explains some of its behavior.
Indeed, the concept of the order was very vague.
*
“I’ll take Ahbooboo with me.”
I approached the face of the Heavenly God and said.
He was in a terrible situation, but his two eyes were still shining like the sun.
I looked at his eyes that were flickering quietly.
His eyes seemed to send a meaningless meaning.
Sorry I couldn’t read anything.
“As I said before, I’ll return the rest.”
I didn’t have to keep the God of the Sky’s new Aubutz, as it was not the Ahbooboo I knew.
I didn’t even want to.
I will separate it and return it.
I looked around.
It was full of energy and heat generated when the giants and I attacked the God of Order.
This may be the reason the God of the Sky is still holding on so far.
It was clear why the God of Order appeared here.
To stop the God of the Sky who tried to act directly by ignoring the rules.
That was all.
It was correct to think that he was not punishing the God of the Sky for trying to violate the rules, but that he was preventing the act of breaking the rules itself.
If so, how long will this state last?
For the purpose of deterrence, not punishment.
It would be reasonable to keep the constraints until the God of the Sky gave up his willingness to act directly.
I think so.
I raised my head and looked up there.
The temple of the God of the Sky was still shining.
It wasn’t just shining.
The power of that temple formed a barrier, preventing the full heat near me and the God of the Sky from escaping outside.
Enough heat to burn this planet.
“Come here.”
I gathered and absorbed the dense heat around it.
It was a little tricky to absorb the energy of the giants, but it was not impossible.
Their foundation was, in the end, my existence.
After absorbing all the heat, I spoke to the God of the Sky again.
“I’m sorry, but I have to see what was going on on this planet.”
The God of the Sky sent his apostle Ahbooboo down.
He talked about the fundamental reasons for his own appearance here.
“But I will try not to damage the planet’s believers as much as possible. I promise.”
I could have done that much.
Neither did I want to disturb mortals and hurt those who had nothing to do with the gods.
The God of the Sky stared at me for a moment, then slowly turned to light and began to disappear.
As expected, the God of Order did not even prevent the retreat of the God of the Sky.
It is just preventing behavior that violates the rules.
The God of the Sky was just holding on because he was worried about the believers of the planet.
Soon, the enormous incarnation of the God of the Sky disappeared completely.
The God of Order began to crawl back into the black space where he came out.
[Unexpected]
“What?”
[Because you had the upper hand, I thought you would try to tear off more from the God of the Sky.]
I would have done that normally.
But not now.
Then, if the God of the Sky weakens further, and if the god becomes unstable, it can be an excuse.
“Then, if the God of Order eats the God of the Sky, it will be troublesome.”
He is already a God of Order that seems to go beyond a usual deity.
I couldn’t know how far he would go if he had eaten the God of the Sky.
It would become very difficult if the God of Order became something similar to the God of Slowness in the past, a god above a god, a god of transcendence.
[Is there any way to do that? The God of Order cannot do anything else unless it is his mission. In the first place, his ego doesn’t exist entirely, so there’s no way he can act according to his arbitrary judgment. You can’t say that.]
The God of Hope spoke of the God of Order.
He has no ego.
He can’t speak.
I am sure about that.
The God of Order would have tried to eat the God of the Sky without hesitation if he had a chance.
[It’s ridiculous. There is no personal desire in the first place for that mechanical god.]
It’s something that I’ve already experienced.
On the 59th floor, with the help of the God of the Sky, I achieved a small source and divine power.
And after clearing the stage, before moving to the fields of Kirikiri, I was summoned into a dark space.
And all the power accumulated on the 59th floor was deprived by an unknown entity.
Now I know.
That existence was the God of Order.
I told the God of Hope about my experiences.
And then.
[It was mine.]
Said the God of Order.
The God of Order was creeping into the black space.
The God of Order, who had never spoken a single sentence let alone a word, rebelled against my words.
This is nonsense.
“It was the power that I achieved and gathered with my abilities. How is that yours?”
You’re like a robber.
[It is my strength. It is the power you have achieved in my world. The enemies you met there and the humans who gave your strength are all mine.]
Because the world in the Tutorial is part of him.
It was the claim of the God of Order that the source and the divinity, completed by receiving the faith of the people in the world, also belonged to him.
[The world is a part of me, and I am the world.]
“It won’t be soon.”
[That won’t happen.]
F**king bastard.
It’s been a while, but when I heard that voice, I felt like a bug in the past.
“I’ve said it before. I’ll visit you someday. And I’ll let you pay the price for taking my power.”
[Well, come and see, challenger.]
The God of Order finally completely entered the black space.
And the black space was immediately closed and cut off.
Son of a b****.
I can’t stop swearing.
Come and see, you know I can’t go.
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue once.
Then I asked the dumb God of Hope.
“Who has no ego again?”
[… That can’t be true.]
