76. His Majesty the Emperor of the Universe is born (3)
Yulgeum took a big sip of the cocktail Zeke had made.
“okay. I lost. “I will speak first.” After staring at the blue, jewel-like cocktail for a long time, Yulgeum opened his mouth.
“Sandalphon… no, it would be better to explain the world first. “What I’m going to say from now on is a secret that must never be spoken out loud, but I’ve already
been involved in so much that I have no choice but to explain.”
“I like secrets.”
“You like to spread it.”
“no. “I like making money using things.”
“I guess so. “In a sense, it is the heaviest mouth.”
“It’s infinitely heavy.”
“Anyway, the world God created is as lush as a bunch of grapes. This universe is one of many worlds. It looks like it’s open, but it’s actually closed. Each cluster of grapes is connected by a stem,
and the key to that path is Babel. Babel is the key to the only passage to another universe.”
“I know roughly up to that point. The problem is next. “What on earth is God?”
“Evolution has stages. This doesn’t just apply to living species. The spiritual world also evolves. The spirit world is like the sum of the dreams of living beings. That’s God. “The angels of the Old Testament, including me, are gods born from the first dream of this world.”
“It seems like it’s not God who created humans, but humans who created God.”
“It’s not just humans. It’s the dream of everything that has a soul. It’s even the Earth’s dream. “Gods born from billions of years of dreams.”
“But there is a real God.”
“Isn’t he the dream of the universe? Actually, we don’t know either. He just came down one day and showed us the way to go. On the first day, He divided light and darkness and determined the right path and the wrong path.”
“Did you become angels that day?”
” that’s right.”
“God is a being from another world.”
“We don’t define Him. “That is blasphemous.”
“Are you saying you don’t doubt it?”
“Because faith begins there.”
“If I don’t believe, am I corrupted?”
“We are given powers as angels and manage this world on His behalf. “If you don’t believe in God, where all that power comes from, you have no choice but to become a devil.”
“Are the demons imitating the devil?”
“It would be more accurate to call him a fallen angel.”
“It was the fall… Why was the New Testament created?”
“Has God changed as expected?”
“This is a story only old angels know. “I know Kamael, but I don’t know Hamiel.”
“It seems like there were multiple gods from the beginning.”
“He did not call himself I. “You said it was us.”
“Are you saying that what I thought was one thing was actually an illusion?”
“It’s all wrong. He is neither one nor many.”
“I don’t know what it is.”
“Actually, it’s a meaningless worry. Whether it’s one or many, or one pretending to be many or many pretending to be one. Because it doesn’t change the fact that He is great and we just have to do what He says.”
“Does that mean you have no doubts?”
“that’s right. Someday you will find out. Once this world opens its true path, the unknown and ignorance will turn into true knowledge. It is meaningless to guess in advance what will happen naturally at that time. “When the blind man touched the elephant and discussed it, the elephants
were divided into two groups: the flat skin group and the long tube group, and they fought fiercely.”
“That is also harmony and order.”
“that’s right. “That is the true nature of harmony and order.”
Yulgeum said with a short sigh.
“Sandalfon is waiting on the other side of the branch. “The gates of Babel were opened and mankind could now move into distant space.”
“Is that distant universe just another grain of grape?”
“This star, the Sun, belongs to a group of stars called the Galaxy. A galaxy group is a group of dozens of galaxies. Each particle of that galaxy is a world.
“It is a huge mass that would take millions of years even at the speed of light, so we can never go to another world except Babel.”
“Millions of years…
Zeke looked surprised.
The unit was too big. Hundreds of years seem far away, but millions of years.
Yulgeum moistened her lips with a cocktail.
“That’s the story. And what we’re managing isn’t even the whole grape. Among them, the sun and the stars around it. It’s a small region called the solar system. I don’t know how many legions of angels like us are in this grape.
However, we were the fastest to make the barbell. Sandal Fon was waiting for humanity to cross over from the other side of that stem-like passage. But instead of crossing that path, humanity chose war. “I destroyed myself.”
Deus suddenly opened his mouth.
“I guess you were the ones who were really disappointed.”
As if he had hit the nail on the head, Yulgeum was unable to speak for a moment.
“that’s right. It’s just like that. “ Perhaps that disappointment
planted the seeds of corruption in everyone’s hearts.”
“Sandalphon is not in this universe.”
“I’m waiting on the other side of the grape stem. “Humanity does not know when it will come.”
“It’s not wrong to say he’s dead. If you think about it, I think the Underworld would be closer.”
“Wait. “Then who is the archangel who calls himself Lord Sandalphon?”
Zeke hasn’t heard about her identity yet.
“Lucy Pell.”
Deus answered briefly and Zeke looked confused.
“If it’s Lucifer… isn’t he Demiurge I?”
” that’s right.”
Deus continued.
“First of all, he is the beginning and end of all events. “It’s probably his fault that the angels fell.”
Yulgeum said.
“I don’t want to say that much, but I think he was at least deeply involved in Nezhar’s resurrection.”
“ah! So you pretended to be defeated and retreated
!”
“Pretending to be defeated. “Nezar must feel bad hearing this.”
“But His Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe, was too much. “It’s obvious it’s a joke.”
“It’s okay to say that you like yourself.”
Yulgeum said.
“In the end, we’re back to square one.”
“It’s not the starting point. Because everything I guessed turned out to be true. Lucifer is alive. They are plotting something using Nezar and me. The variable Michael was added to that, and we reached the current situation. I still don’t know what kind of relationship there is between the two
. Maybe two lines running in different directions just happened to meet at this point… or maybe one is living off the other.”
“But you still don’t know what they’re planning or where they are.”
“I’m going to move again.”
“How can you be sure?”
“If the goal wasn’t right in front of you, you wouldn’t have done such a bold thing as revealing yourself to me.”
Deus crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair.
“What I’m still not sure about is… Babel or Nezar. “That guy’s real goal.”
Zeke said.
“Isn’t it confusing because it’s both? Lucifer is not the only one involved in this.”
“Even so, the result is the same. “It’s unclear who is aiming for what.”
“Anyway, I’m saying I plan to keep an eye on it. Until something happens.”
“That’s too slow. “You have to be a catalyst.”
Deus looked around.
Either way, Babel wants it. The goal is to use Babel, not destroy it.
This means that humanity wants to take the path of evolution again.
“Jik.”
“Yes, Deus.”
“Try to use your head. How can human technology change significantly? “To a level that angels can’t help but care about.”
“Wouldn’t the method we always used be sufficient?”
“The method you always used?”
“Dig it.”
“Hmm..”
“That’s also incredibly expensive.”
“What are the advantages?”
“It will grab attention right away. On the contrary, if you say you are giving it away for free, no one will be interested. “Isn’t it true that luxury goods stimulate human desires?”
“It’s a luxury item.”
“The most beautiful sword, shield and armor. “We produce the highest quality products using all kinds of materials, including dragon scales, monsters from the demon world, and beasts of mugwort.”
“You mean an armor set that is close to Only One.”
“We make a lot and sell it at a high price. “We have Rosdia.”
“yes.”
Rosdia was basically a weapons factory.
In the meantime, I made weapons to use against dragons and earned quite a bit of income.
At the same time, humans, dwarves, fairies, and demons from the Joseon continent were brought in, and the population increased considerably.
This meant that there was no problem with production capacity.
“The metal smelting skills of dwarves, the magic of fairies, the fine hair of humans and the strength of strings of demons. “If we add the rare materials obtained from dragons, an incredible weapon will definitely be created.”
“I will buy it no matter how expensive it is. Because there is the devil’s castle that I made in the air. They must be feeling threatened right now…
“We lost most of our main unit in the last war. “There is bound to be a thirst for force
.”
“Also, farmers will be ripped off enormously. “Garyeomjugu is the fundamental figure of royal rule.”
Zeke smiled bitterly at what Deus said with a smile.
“Then why not?”
“What are you talking about? You have a rare sense of clarity. “You have to do it right away.”
If it was simply a powerful weapon, there was no way the angels would be interested.
Deus called Skatul to the top of the royal castle of Rosdia.
“Are you doing well?”
“First of all… what about it?”
“What is that unconfident voice?”
“I heard all kinds of rumors while I was here. Who went to Jupiter or who had a fight?”
“Did you hear the results?”
“You said you lost?”
“I surrendered to His Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe. This planet has officially become a dominion under His Majesty, the Emperor of the Universe, haha.”
“You have a subtly refreshing laugh.”
“Think of it as a laugh that came out of absurdity.”
“What on earth are you planning? “Even if I ask you, you won’t tell me, right?”
“Uh, because you’re a spy.”
“I am not shameless enough to answer that I only serve you as my master.”
“don’t worry. Because I will never believe it. So what is Michael’s official response?”
“Can you believe what I’m telling you?”
“Wouldn’t Michael at least tell me the story he wanted to tell me?”
Scatul said with a slight smile.
“We are still taking a wait-and-see approach.”
“It was Michael who took the barbell out of storage.”
“This is an absurd misunderstanding. “That’s what Nezar did.”
” is it?”
“yes.”
“Well, just keep watching. Because there is something I want to try. butler.”
“Yes, master.”
“First, make some weapons.”
“What weapon are you talking about?”
“The first condition must be over-technology.”
“It makes me want to reject it from the beginning.”
“It’s not just over-technology, it’s over-technology to the point where archangels want to step in and stop it.”
“Your jokes have gotten thicker since we haven’t seen each other.”
“You don’t have any ideas. Just feel it. I love the way you, an angel, will be surprised. “The technicians I hired will take care of the rest.”
“Are you thinking of breaking the taboo?”
“huh. “That’s right too.”
“…Do you plan to turn the angels into enemies
?”
“When were we on the same side?”
“Not really.”
“Isn’t it already completely captured? “The powers that Zeke and I have are already beyond the laws of this world.”
“It’s just irregular. Spreading it is a completely different matter.”
“is it?”
“To mass-produce power like your master…
“Wait a minute.”
” yes?”
“Say it again.”
“You have the same power as your master…
“As expected, you are a capable butler.”
” yes?”
“Your side is much more capable than Zeke. At least the head of this side.”
“It’s hard to understand.”
“I need to mass produce the Four Gods of Death.”
