573 – The Whole World Is God – 3

The hope of escaping this hellish land and the desire for a 10-day vacation pass were enough to turn even frozen-mouthed wizards into fiery berserkers.

“Grrrr!”

“Aggagagaggak!”

It seems a bit too crazy, but I think it’s better than having a Patrasche ending where you say you can’t go any further. Failing here is the same as dying.

“Is it here?”

The place we reached with the wizards was an unusual place.

A huge pit, dozens of iron pillars surrounding the pit, and even silver chains connecting the iron pillars.

‘It would be even weirder if it weren’t here.’

Is there a structure like this in a cold, untouched land? If it’s not a seal, it’s even more difficult. It means that it is a legacy of an ultra-ancient civilization that even the gods did not know about.

-There is nothing like that. Is this a seal?

‘Thank goodness.’

I nodded at the confirmation of the eternal blue navigation system, which boasted ambiguous performance.

Yes, if you can’t tell the difference even though it’s right in front of you, is it God? Fortunately, the eternal blue sky is enough to be called God.

‘Hmm.’

Anyway, I approached the iron pillar emitting a soft light. Seeing that it is clean and without any rust even after hundreds of years has passed, it seems that the energy of Enen is present.

Moreover, when you get close to the chain, you feel a strange warmth. This chain seems to be a kind of boundary dividing the pit and the outside of the pit.

‘…Is this okay?’

After looking at the iron pillars and chains for a while, I asked the eternal blue sky. Is this true that the seal is maintained properly?

Of course, it looks like it’s operating normally on the outside, but isn’t it a place that seals away evil spirits? It is too foolish to simply check with the naked eye.

– Uh…

And a quite disturbing response came back.

– First of all… The seal is still maintained?

‘Isn’t that enough?’

– It’s a little loose.

I clicked my tongue when I heard that it wasn’t the worst, but it wasn’t the best either.

If the building is simply weakened, you can just call someone to repair it. However, this is a seal made by Enen himself after winning the religious war. It is not an area that a single human can do anything about.

‘Then please ask.’

-Okay. I need to use some strength for a moment.

However, if it is a god and not a human, it can be resolved somehow.

Even though it was not the eternal blue sky that created this seal, repairing a structure made by someone else is something that even someone else can do.

– As I said before, the moment a seal is reinforced is when it is most vulnerable. If I had to compare it, it would be like removing a loose door and fixing it. Don’t you remember?

‘Yes, I am keeping that in mind.’

– Well, the guys inside have been trapped for hundreds of years, so they probably have no energy. At best, they will only tempt you by saying they will give you wealth and fame if you take them out, so ignore them.

It was an easy task, so I nodded calmly.

I am already guaranteed wealth and fame by a b*stard worse than an evil god. If other b*stards, other than that b*stard, talk about wealth and fame in front of me, I am ready to curse them both.

“Everyone, stay back.”

When he gestured to the wizards behind him, the wizards bowed and retreated a few tens of meters.

I alone have enough manpower to prepare for any emergency. Anyway, wizards who can’t even use magic are meat shields.

– Okay then, let’s begin─

“It’s open!”

Haha! It’s been a while since the sun has been around— ah, it’s so fucking dazzling.”

“Go quickly! There are a lot of scenes waiting behind you!”

?

‘What the fuck.’

Before Eternal Blue Sky could finish speaking, all kinds of strange creatures jumped out of the pit.

– What, why are they still so lively!

And looking at the reaction, it seems like they are evil spirits.

My hair turned white. So, did the evil spirits that were currently sealed come out through the gap in the reinforcement of the seal?

‘…I’m screwed.’

First, I instinctively pulled out the sword that was hanging on my waist. I don’t know if physical damage will work on evil spirits, but do something rather than just let go… Hey…?

‘Huh?’

– Huh?

The foolish voices of me and the eternal blue sky rang out at the same time.

“Ugh~ Ha! What refreshing air!”

Hehe, I missed the wind of the continent.”

“Now there is no time left even if it disappears…”

I quietly lowered my sword as I saw the evil spirits (presumed) rushing out and talking among themselves.

“What is this?”

Why do they look like this?

***

That’s it.

It’s done, it’s done, it’s done, it’s done! It’s finally done!

‘Finally!’

Finally, finally, I escaped this horrible and disgusting prison!

‘After all, there is no eternal power!’

I raised the corners of my mouth with a grin as I felt the brilliant light, cool breeze, and moist snow.

It’s like the fucking sun. When you first put us in this prison, you probably thought you would reign forever.

But, like the damn stupid sun, it was an arrogant thought. There is no eternal power in this world, no god who can reign forever. You were nothing more than a being that would rise like the sun and eventually sink.

The proof is that we have once again set foot in this world. If you were truly eternal, we would have been trapped forever too. However, we escaped the prison when the seal was weakened.

‘What is eternal is us.’

There is no eternal existence in this world. Any living thing reaches the end of death, and even the sun, which won over us, eventually lost its power and lost us.

This means that we are the ones truly worthy of reigning. An unavoidable plague, a war that will not disappear as long as life exists, a famine that covers the continent, and a death that no one can refuse.

Only we will last forever. Even the sun and the sky will bow before us!

‘Who is the faithful one who brought us out?’

After enjoying the fall of the sun for a while, I turned my head here and there. Even before I left this prison, I heard someone talking, and after that, the blurry barrier completely disappeared. Perhaps that presence completely destroyed Enen’s fading power and took us out.

He is truly a faithful and remarkable person. To remember that we were trapped hundreds of years ago and take them out. This is worthy of having the wealth, fame, and power of the whole world.

“What is this?”

Then, a human male voice was heard.

This is it. How dare you do this to us.

‘Shameful.’

It was a little unpleasant, but I decided to give it a go since it was still bigger than the course. Still, if you don’t point out anything, order won’t be established properly, so don’t scold harshly…

…

?

“What is this?”

As soon as I turned in the direction where I heard the voice, a dazed voice came out. There were two huge black pillars in front of me, the likes of which I had never seen before.

I was embarrassed. If it looks this huge even at my size, does that mean it’s not a normal pillar? Could it be that the damn sun set it up in preparation for our escape?

“Is this an evil spirit?”

When I raised my head following the voice coming from the sky, I saw a being that looked like a human male looking down at me.

‘It’s big…’

Could it be that a race of giants was born while we were trapped?

***

I looked down blankly at the floor—to be precise, at the eleven animals huddled together on the floor.

No, honestly, it would be a waste to call it an animal.

‘Is it at T-T level?’

The animals that came out of the pit were all the size of Titi. That’s also the size of T-T when I was a baby when I was just adopted by Sang-tae.

Even the appearance was gentle. The guy who was looking up at me blankly had long hair and looked like a Yorkshire Terrier.

“Human? Is that a human?”

“It looks like a human, right?”

“There’s no way a human would be that big. If they grow for hundreds of years without dying, they’ll be half as big as that.”

And behind the evil god that looks like a Yorkshire terrier, there are other evil gods. Specifically, evil spirits that looked like chicks, tiger cubs, bear cubs, eagles, etc. Began whispering.

Confusing. The evil gods I imagined did not look like this, but were riding on skeletal horses and wielding black scythes, or had the form of chimeras that were a fusion of all kinds of beasts…?

“This, this…!”

While I was looking at the evil spirits for a while, the Yorkshire Terrier evil spirit started shaking his fur and yelling.

“How dare you, a human being, look down on me! Get down on your knees and look up right now!”

With a dignified voice that does not match her cute appearance

“…Even if you kneel, you’ll be smaller than me.”

“How dare you!”

The Yorkshire Terrier became even more excited by the instinctive remark.

Unfortunately, even though it is so big and bright, it looks like a pet dog just begging to be played.

‘What happened to this?’

I asked the eternal blue sky, with the Yorkshire Terrier’s roar flowing through one ear. It is an unexpected event that the evil spirits who had been sealed for hundreds of years escaped on their own as soon as the reinforcement of the seal began, but it is even more surprising that they are in such a cute appearance.

How do you think this is an evil spirit? They are little kids who are waiting desperately for their owner to take them away.

– I don’t know… Ah.

The eternal blue sky, which was muttering in confusion, stopped speaking as if it remembered something.

– Do you know their names?

‘How do I know that? I recently learned that evil spirits exist.’

– That’s why.

‘Yes?’

I was taken aback by the sudden Zen question, but eventually I realized what it meant.

God is a being whose lives are received by faith. The eternal blue sky, where apostles, temples, and sacred objects have been completely destroyed, is on the verge of extinction, and no god can be an exception.

However, the recently shattered Eternal Blue Sky is close to extinction, but what if they are evil spirits that were sealed hundreds of years ago? What if it is recorded in the Bible as an evil spirit, not an evil spirit, and even that is considered an indirect metaphor rather than a direct expression?

‘It must have weakened.’

– I’m actually more surprised that they’re alive. How are you still alive?

Hearing those words sent a shiver down my spine.

These are gods whose names have not even been recorded for hundreds of years. Nevertheless, if he maintains his form and lives as a god, how strong was he in his prime?

I don’t even want to imagine it. Enen didn’t seal it for no reason.

“Human! Are you ignoring my words now?”

Of course, no matter what the past was, now he is just a weak evil spirit reduced to mini size.

“Hey, human? What are you doing? Why are you pushing me?”

“Be quiet and go home.”

“What are you talking about? My home is this continent! I am death, feared and revered by all life, and I will stand tall above the continent— Hey! Don’t push me!”

I pushed the Yorkshire Terrier with my foot and drove it towards the pit.

“Plague! War! Famine! Help!”

As it got closer and closer to the pit, self-proclaimed death screamed desperately.

“Pride! Stingy! Jealousy! Anger! Lust! Greed! Sloth!”

Each of the names were unusual, so I looked at other evil spirits as well. Under what name are you writing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the Seven Deadly Sins?

“Huh? War? Who, me?”

“I don’t know anyone like that.”

“Hey you crazy things!”

The evil spirits who caught my gaze desperately avoided my gaze and denied their names.

“aah! No! I don’t want to go back! If I fall this time, I don’t have the strength to come back up!”

Death, struggling uglyly, began to hold on by holding my shoes in its mouth.

It’s so ugly. Is this how evil spirits fight against humans…

‘What should I do with this?’

– I know. It would be a waste to use divinity to seal these things.

It sounds selfish, but I completely understand. As a bonus, I now know why Enen didn’t pay attention to the seal.

Even if you escape, you’re still a slob and there’s no way you’ll be interested.
