Chapter 161 – 160. The Name of the True Goddess, and-
Solias.
Goddess of creation.
She is the goddess of the entire creation.
She knows she’s called that.
This planet was created, it was named Elcadia, the Great Emperor of Elcadia established this world, and he gave blessings to the Great Emperor of Elcadia, and the person who lived his life blessing Elcadia where the Nephilim and angels live together is no longer there.
An entity that has been robbed of all its strength and can only briefly gather strength with what little strength it has left.
Recently, voices mixed with human wishes and pain have been heard.
And from the nearest place, a voice almost like a scream is heard.
-What is the Church of Solias, and what does it mean to love everyone with love?
-These bastards are messengers of God?
-Stop talking nonsense, get rid of it!
-Why did my father die?
-To kill an old man by pulling out his tongue, gouging out a child’s eyes, and tearing off the ears of an ordinary person doing his duty because he swore at a bunch of bastards who will be punished to death – what kind of messenger of God is this?!
It was a scream.
It was Clark’s scream.
Clark is a star.
And he, who was born as the planet was created, was able to hear human voices, hear human screams, pain, and anger.
-…Why, these things don’t get punished even though they use the name of God.
…
Did you say you have a dirty temper?
That wasn’t it.
I just had no choice but to live with my anger and let it go.
Why?
At first, I thought it was an evil planet, and I thought it was a cheap brat.
Maybe this person can restore relics of the past.
He thought he could once again show the world what he had created to benefit humans, and as a result, he created Clark.
Something created while reminiscing about the past.
Although he used it to revive his companion, Elizabeth, who was now his lover (much to his annoyance), the one Clark made was destroyed when Elizabeth woke up.
Still, it was good.
Akashic Records, a gift of a storehouse of knowledge to humans.
It was given to him as a gift by Shub Nigguras, who absorbed it and said he could make it. When he said there was a contract to hand it over to the monsters, it was better for him to just keep it.
No matter how much he got stabbed in the back and downgraded, he didn’t want to give it to them.
It was just better for Clark to have it.
Because only Solias knew how to make it, and only Clark had it.
It was nice just to have a connection.
Crucially, she was a good spirit.
Okay.
Just to avoid being forgotten, I went down the wrong path due to anxiety that wasn’t what I needed, so I was trapped and cried for thousands of years.
And since when has it been possible to hear the inner thoughts of this unstoppable man who blatantly criticizes and criticizes his shortcomings, even pulling his face?
-Now, this is it. This is it.
-…Bye. Please, I hope we don’t meet in this shitty battlefield next time.
After regaining her powers she went to Minerva.
Knowing about Clark’s true nature, Minerva asked Clark for a favor.
Please do not deny the birth, death, and pain of life.
Living itself is suffering, and that is why life is born, so please do not deny it.
And Clark’s heartbreaking resignation was heard as a result.
I overheard that.
When Clark tried to send Elizabeth away.
I could feel the pain in his heart.
Trying to let go of a close person from your heart.
And as he looked at Clark, who had made up her mind and was trying to go her own way, he could see that he was secretly happy to know that she was going to let him go.
And from that moment on, Solias could feel the ugliness of her own heart.
Ah-
I was such an ugly being.
And Elizabeth outright rejected it.
Why did you decide that?
He openly attacked Clark and pushed himself towards Clark with determination.
And I was jealous of that.
And after the two had an affair, I discovered another being who was jealous of it.
Did I look like this to others?
And every time I heard Clark’s words about unpleasant things in his mind, I could see how patient he was.
His father was dead.
The star that drove his father to death. As soon as he discovered the existence of the star following Lilith, who was now pretending to be him, Clark exploded.
No, it didn’t explode.
He was always angry, and he just found the right time to get angry.
-…Was I born like this because I wanted to be born like this?
-What is the existence of stars? I just wanted to spend my life researching magic.
-…Who are you, dragging me into this?
-Then why are you trying to judge and measure things based on your own standards?
-What are you?
-The only person who can evaluate me is my father.
Anger, and resentment.
Just living was overwhelming, and I was becoming exhausted in the repeated vicious struggle.
-…Dick is dying?
Nyarlathotep says.
And Dick insisted.
I am destined to disappear someday. It is natural and natural for parents to leave before their children. Don’t deny that.
And in the end, Nyarlathotep’s cunning tongue calmed Clark’s trembling heart.
-…I will not be a son of shame to you.
They usually joke around, act like friends, talk harshly to each other, and have fun showing a relationship that would never be seen between a godfather and a guardian. In front of him, he seemed to want to play and joke around with a friend his age.
Dick is Clark’s adoptive father.
And-
-Do whatever you want. Do whatever you want, whatever you do. There’s nothing worse than a human being being dragged around by her leash the whole way she goes. You don’t follow my path. Don’t be swayed, go your own way. Set your goal and move forward one by one to achieve it.
The presence of stars, the invasion of the Elder Gods.
And the task of withstanding their attacks, saving Phrygia, and finding disciples.
Clark was not an iron man.
That’s why I was angry, and I was angry, and I was angry.
However, I cannot do as I please, and since I cannot do that, I suppress my anger.
Clark-
“…Ah, Almighty Goddess Solias!!! You have come in person – to punish the evil Golden Sun -!!”
He was furious as he looked at these fanatics in front of him.
They did not even recognize their true god and were revering and worshiping the being who tried to kill them.
Not Solias-
“Goddess, give me the power to punish the Golden Sun once again.”
The power of Solias.
Those sparkling eyes were full of nothing but reasonless hatred toward Clark, the golden sun, rather than awe of himself.
Full of reasonless anger, reasonless malice-
Okay.
They were just hoping that they would get drunk on their own power and start messing around with the people of the world, and they were asking for their own strength.
Was your past self like this?
Did it look like this?
I am-
It was so ugly.
That’s why Solias said.
“Put it away, you blasphemous things.”
These people do not believe in themselves.
It’s not about following yourself.
Own power.
Those who were not themselves were the damned things that pretended to be themselves and followed the existence of the evil star that brought suffering to the humans of this world.
I started to awaken my power and thought I had recovered it, but-
As expected, it was true that this power did not exist.
It is true that there is no such force that is believed in by force, dominates by force, and oppresses innocent people with that force. It was right that the [Power] Named Solias disappeared.
Rather than relying on his own strength, he needed someone who believed in him, followed him, needed his help, and would be with him.
Solias’ halo is broken.
It’s a small amount of power.
That was enough anyway.
What was your past strength?
I can’t believe I’m taking revenge on them with this.
When will they all be killed and when will they all be recovered?
He couldn’t wait for Clark to kill it all.
He will fight.
For his own revenge.
He will fight to the end against those who are trying to kill him.
Even if you die at the end.
He will kill by burning himself with rage.
But if he disappears like that, after he disappears – what will be left of him? Even if I only use him for the purpose of achieving that power, like Clark said, I’m just using you, so don’t think anything strange.
Yet he does not forget that he has been helped – and yet he opens his heart to himself.
-…Ha, it sucks.
His patience was being strained to the point where his inner self was being destroyed. It was only one word, but he could no longer tolerate these impious people who worshiped his [Power] And not him.
She ripped off her Halo.
“You believe in my power, not me. You blasphemous and foolish humans.”
And if you rip off this halo-
You will no longer be a goddess.
It will be like that.
Because that power is the power that allows the concept of [Solias] To exist. And if that power is destroyed, the power that forms the concept of all [Solias] In this world will be destroyed. It was her own place that Lilith occupied, her own mask.
But if they can no longer use such concepts, if humans do not suffer under their profane names –
That’s enough for me.
That was enough.
The Halo containing Solias’ power is broken.
I feel the pain as if my flesh is being torn apart.
“What are you doing-“
Clark recognized it.
She knows she’s trying to rip off the power. Trying to destroy the concept itself –
“I will confiscate all of My Name and [Power] Given to you. You blasphemous things. You do not have the power to handle it. You cannot handle it. Even though you have power, you do not protect the weak and instead use My [Power]. He worshiped him and killed countless people with his [Power].”
“They are blasphemous heretics, even the Golden Sun blasphemed you-“
Falling in love –
It’s breaking apart.
Cracks appear in the broken halo.
And-
A more powerful light was leaking from within.
“…Solia-“
“Hey, wait.”
Clark dissuades him.
I’m trying to dissuade him.
Ah, is this country sad too?
Happy.
But now it’s okay.
Tearing off flesh. This pain is like having your own wings ripped off.
But with this pain his own false name. If the beings and humans who suffer from [The concept] Disappear, if they can no longer claim any legitimacy.
That alone is good.
Everything you have is for [Humans].
No-
For [People].
“W-what did you do-“
“Lord Solias!!”
The concept is breaking apart.
The power of Solias disappears.
The [Concept] Of Solias is disappearing.
A scream resembling the screams of archangels rings out.
At the same time, changes occur in the Archangels, including Solias.
What is left for them at the end?
And what happens to those who come into contact with the star entity wearing the mask of Solias?
It is a natural procedure.
It is a force that cannot help but be like that.
■■■■■■■■■!?
■■■!!
■■■?! ■■■■!!!
These pitiful, pitiful creatures have no idea that their bodies have been contaminated and changed by the existence of stars. These are the words of those who borrow the power of a star wearing their own mask and are intoxicated by that power.
They wore masks, and in order to wear the masks, the changes in the believers’ bodies were not revealed –
I knew it.
And when he destroyed his Halo, there was another powerful [Power] And [Concept] In place of the lost concept and power of [Solias].
And the power and concept are revealed, and at the same time, the girl who is engulfed in the presence of the star and the star monsters who are screaming their hearts out.
And looking at them she said:
“Get off my planet, you blasphemies.”
Don’t fall in!!!!
Lightning rains down from the sky.
And her strength. And that power-
It is a power that can only be called overkill.
And the [Punishment] She personally imposed burned only the star beings.
“W-This is-!? …Your name?!”
I can’t call you.
I won’t be able to call you.
Because she has shattered her own power, and her own being, and the very concept of her. After destroying her power, she received strength from the planet.
It was replenishing her strength, hope, and her own mission that had been building up for so long.
It was a new sense of exaltation and strength.
And-
Halo is bigger and bigger than before. And wings.
The wings emitting warm light were spreading far into the distance, and she saw the girl who had burned all the priests and inquisitors who had turned into star beings.
Is it because of her own power and the fragmentary contact with her thoughts? She hasn’t changed.
Rather, she was looking at the power that sparked the star’s existence and was trying to worship it.
She saw a girl who still worshiped and worshiped her own power, not herself.
Was it something like this?
Was this the kind of disgust Clark loathed?
And on this young girl, who is in ecstasy at the sight of her own power, she herself inflicts her divine punishment.
“Ugh… This?! Uh, why – the temple that has been crying out and worshiping you until now -“
“As I said, you never worshiped me. You simply revered [Power]. And that is why I will not treat you as a believer, and in the future you will not be able to stand by my side, call my name, or worship me.”
She took from her [Her concept] And took away [Her power].
“Ah-ahhh-no, no!!! My, my faith, my faith-!!!”
Poor thing.
Things that a young girl cannot possibly experience. She has proven her faith by scourging herself and performing penance, but her faith to show to others is ultimately just a facade.
Nothing is meaningful unless it is a faith you believe in and follow.
She does not want her believers and the children she cares about to suffer.
Because I didn’t want that.
“So, forget everything and go back to your daily life. This is my divine punishment for you.”
I just wanted her to only look at herself.
She just wanted him to stay by her side.
I thought it would be nice if humans did that.
Reflected on her own madness, her own foolishness.
And the result, the terrible result, was the girl.
It doesn’t kill.
The girl just grew up like that.
Because she was raised that way, she could only live like that, and she was contaminated by that madness.
The girl’s memories are erased.
“Ah, no- no!!!!! My goddess- my goddess, my power- is nothing anymore… That kind of child- ahhh-“
Poor thing.
That it is nothing. Ever since you gained that power, you thought you were different from others.
But guess what?
In the end, even I was nothing.
She was the mighty creation goddess, but even she herself was reduced to nothing and she was sealed.
It’s just a tragedy.
It’s just a tragedy.
Even as the girl became so crazy and abused her own body, she wanted to become a shining being in the name of being for Solias. She simply wanted to do something, shine, and be loved. Everything in words.
In the end, she picked up the fainted girl.
It seemed to overlap with her past self.
And looking at her overlapping figure, she looked at her Michaela next to her own.
“Michaela, please take care of the child. She tells Gilgamesh that I sent her and take her to her.”
“…Are you okay?”
“At least she would have already noticed. Also, please emphasize that she is saying it as a request, not an order.”
That arrogant, blond-haired, gangly emperor will only accept you if you say this.
And she looks at her own body.
Halo, wings bigger and brighter than before.
Although it was weaker than its prime, it was still powerful.
If I were to be specific, it’s similar to Clark’s power, and much stronger than all three Archangels, including Michaela.
And I realized that it is a power that can grow infinitely more than before.
And she was able to find out why she was like this as a result of tuning in with her planet.
As synchronization with the planet began, which became faster than before, she was able to quickly check the condition of her body.
Since the creation of the planet, he was born and linked, and now that he has checked the network, the planet has a [Response system] Against [Foreign enemies].
When the conditions are met, you will [Awaken] And use your power to eliminate them all.
And looking at those conditions, she knew.
The reason was simple.
She used all of the three wishes she could make on Clark in hopes that he would survive.
Now she wasn’t lonely.
Even if there was no one to admire, worship, or worship, she just wanted Clark alive.
If she lived she did.
And she wanted to be next to him.
Even if he leaves one day, even if he leaves this planet.
She just wanted to remain by his side as someone he could talk to.
Her pure heart of [Love] Was the keyword.
Why didn’t the existing company react?
I could have known about it now.
…
She said that she was just treating humans like she was raising a dog.
And now that Solias realized it, she felt her face turn bright red.
If I tell him these feelings, will he be accepted?
Her chest feels tight and her heart trembles.
And when she gave herself [Her sacrifice] For her beloved, her planet once again gave her [Her power] For her.
The power to grow stronger than before.
The power to become stronger by destroying invading foreign enemies.
The situation has been resolved.
The remnants of the past that turned into star beings have been disposed of, and now the world will be full of monsters, even in normal religious orders. His power has long since been contaminated, and there is no point in getting it back now.
And she turned around.
Dick looked at himself and laughed, and at the same time, Clark asked himself.
“What should I call you? I just said you-“
“Yes, I destroyed the concept. The existing power, existence, name, [Concept] Of me. I hope this is a good experimental result for the power you seek.”
“…Was it even necessary?”
“The person wearing his skin must have been revealed by now. And the church under him will also be stripped bare and reveal their true colors.”
“I see. That’s good. So what should I call you?”
“Ilias.”
“…No, that’s-“
“I know, you gave it a name like 1234~, roughly based on the pronunciation.”
“You knew but you pretended not to know?”
“…It was the first time someone gave me a name.”
“As expected, the golden sun.”
Dick shakes his head.
She said as she looked at Solias who was giggling and laughing.
“That’s enough. That’s enough. For the rest, just consult with these girls.”
“.. Hehe.”
Iliad.
Know.
Clark is just a loosely given name. However, he felt sorry, looked at himself with strange eyes and even looked embarrassed when he asked me to call him that. Of course it’s not over yet.
“By the way, Clark, why don’t you call Weedy here?”
“Widi?”
“It’s still the middle of the night, and the conditions for summoning Demon World monsters are enough, right? Blood and the death of unclean beings.”
“…”
Another competitor was trying to come here.
-Uruk / Imperial Office-
Haha, did you hear Enkidu? Did you hear that? That arrogant goddess said to me [Please]. She said it was a favor. Haha!!”
“Shut up, Gilgamesh. What’s so funny? She already predicted that the goddess would regain her strength.”
“No, no, isn’t it funny? The so-called [Champi], Who used to go around pretending to be a goddess and all, has blossomed into a real [Goddess]. Puhahahahaha-!!”
With a flash of light, Michaela arrived directly at the Uruk Empire and Imperial Palace.
Michaela realized that she was faster than before, and yet she stuck out her tongue as she looked at Enkidu, Gilgamesh, a strong man out of reach.
How strong is interest?
If this level of strength is enough to maintain the Uruk Empire even among the Elder Gods and stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods.
Even Clark admitted this to the point of saying that if he fought, he would definitely lose.
“Ah, yes, please protect that little boy from the Uruk Empire… She can’t turn away someone who was once a believer and lets her live as a human… Tsk, she’s a stupidly honest goddess. So I’ll respect her. “It’s worth it. Yes, if it’s a favor, shouldn’t you grant it? The goddess herself asked for it.”
Gilgamesh wholeheartedly acknowledged and accepted it.
Anyway, if you receive one person, the number of people in the Uruk Empire will increase.
Well, not only is there a lot of infrastructure, but at least one more person is needed in the decisive battle that will take place someday.
“…Heh, it would be quite fun if we competed someday.”
Gilgamesh chuckled as he watched Michaela put her girl down and disappear with a flash of light.
He saw
The attack of a huge demonic beast that will come someday.
Attack of demons.
And in the end, Uruk will be destroyed.
Solias,
She changed her name to her Ani-Ilias, the name given to her by Clark, destroying her existing concept and power of [Solias] And causing chaos in her world.
Even now, reports are coming in that there are a lot of monsters inside the Solias Church.
Yes, that will happen.
I’m receiving Lilith’s power, but can I cut myself without turning into a monster?
The world is becoming more and more crazy.
The mess that started with Solias’ illness is getting bigger and bigger, but I don’t care.
For a new order to be established, it must be destroyed.
“Don’t worry about the eggs when making a huge omelette…Cook-“
And Clark’s words in response are even more impressive.
An egg can grow into a chicken.
Okay.
In the end, you have to protect the egg.
“Of course it’s chicken rather than an omelet.”
“Why are you talking nonsense to yourself, Gilgamesh?”
Enkidu tackles Gilgamesh, who is frowning and talking nonsense(?), But Gilgamesh, as always, deftly counters Enkidu’s tackle and speaks to Enkidu.
“For now, whenever you have time, make sure you give my message to Clark, Enkidu. We’ll need to keep in touch.”
“They don’t give anything to you, but they treat you like a dirty person.”
Haha, didn’t you say that you don’t need anything?
“Do you know how many things are targeting you in the first place?”
“I know. But being careless is a quality of an [Emperor]. Please be a little more lenient, Enkidu.”
“I’m so damn tired.”
And as always, it ends with an expletive.
“…How many will die?”
“Well, that remains to be seen. Does the egg crack into an omelet or chicken? That’s the difference.”
“…Do you want to eat chicken?”
“Chicken and beer, they were made by people from another world, and they were quite delicious. I’m going to have chicken and beer at night, would you like it, Enkidu?”
“It’s okay, I don’t need it.”
Even the emperor of the Uruk Empire cannot tolerate chicken and beer.
As Gilgamesh looks at the beer that comes in with the chicken made by the people of this world these days, Enkidu chuckles.
…
It’s a happy world.
Seeing that even people from another world would be leniently accepted if they followed the rules of this place, he betrayed his creator for the first time and remained by Gilgamesh’s side.
No regrets.
Even if I receive divine punishment.
Because watching Gilgamesh next to me has never been this enjoyable.
So Clark, please don’t die easily.
Saying so to himself, Enkidu also spoke to Gilgamesh.
“Let me try one too.”
“Oh, would you like to try it, Enkidu? Don’t you think you can’t stand the smell?”
Uruk continues to develop.
Generously embracing the knowledge of this world and those who follow its laws.
Of course, even if that were the case, there would be no forgiveness towards the criminals.
That alone was a big change taking place in this world.
That was enough for now.
