The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 116



115. The Shadow of Tragedy From the Beginning

“…A real creator god?”

The boundary between life and death

No, after hearing the truth… .

‘A shell? A corpse? What should I call it?’

In the end, isn’t it true that all the power was taken away and even what little was left was used like this? By human standards, how is this any different from children killing their parents and selling their bodies for money?

… Thinking about it this way, even if he were called a ‘true creator god’, I would only feel sympathy rather than respect or anything like that.

The owner of omnipotence, the most perfect and complete being in this world… But all of this is in the past tense. Right now, even his body has been completely torn to pieces and he is being used thoroughly.

“… You don’t have to look at me with such sticky eyes. It’s comfortable.”

“Can we have a conversation?”

“Because I was sent on an errand.”

It was a foolish question. In the first place, since the conversation was established, he must have given and received an errand… . He couldn’t help but shake his head, thinking that it was a really foolish question.

“It’s quite comfortable.”

“Comfortable?”

“Because I was able to obtain the freedom to not know what I didn’t necessarily want to know… the freedom to just ignore things I didn’t necessarily want to do.”

Stella said that as if she understood. As a saint, she had to make a choice. A choice that would put her life on the line. Because she was in that situation, she was able to understand and sympathize to some extent with the true creator god who had gained a sense of liberation by being able to escape from omnipotence.

“…Is that so?”

“That’s what it is… . He said… .”

“…okay.”

When I saw it, it couldn’t have been anything but a cruel story… But he seemed satisfied since he was able to escape the curse of omnipotence.

‘Maybe he knew and still suffered.’

Because he was omnipotent.

Could he really not have known that the mediocre gods, who were like his own children, were unfilial sons and intended to make heaven and earth resent him? I don’t think that’s possible. Omniscience would never allow that. So it’s impossible for him not to have known. It’s really absurd, but even if we forcefully accept that he was really deceived, he still had omnipotence. It wouldn’t have been difficult for him to turn the whole situation around with that power. But he didn’t.

In the end, we can see that this was all the true Creator’s choice.

From noble mtl dot com

perhaps….

The mediocre gods may have been thinking of such a plan since the time of creation… .

That was the moment.

“That’s not it… .”

“Can you read my mind too?”

“This is his body… his world… .”

No matter how much he was robbed and used, and ended up like this… . Does that mean that the level of the true creator god doesn’t change? There’s no need to be surprised if a true creator god or something can read people’s minds. Rather than being surprised, it felt like it was natural.

“So why did you call me?”

“… … .”

Stella was uncharacteristically hesitant. It was really out of character for her. She was too lazy to even hesitate, and it was more like her to just say it out loud. But that was why I couldn’t help but know that what she was about to say carried a lot of weight.

“god….”

“what?”

“I’m asking… . The true creator god… . Would you ever consider becoming a god?”

“… … .”

That was a question I had never imagined, one that far exceeded my expectations.

But at that moment, I knew for sure.

The truth is that the inside story is not always as beautiful as it seems.

‘The truth is always dirty… .’

♧♧♧

Everything was nothing. It was emptiness. But because of that, existence was born. Since there was nothing, something was born, so signs of a beginning had to appear. Because there is light, there is darkness, and because there is nothing, existence can be established. Therefore, it was only natural that the first existence would begin in a place where there was nothing.

The first being born like that, the first beginning

That was the true creator god.

Since there was nothing, he was given so much power and authority that he could not possibly handle it, and as his name suggests, he was given omniscience and omnipotence.

Because it is the first being, omniscience was given to it.

Because it is the first beginning, omnipotence was given.

But that was the problem.

From the beginning, I was granted the privilege of omniscience. Because of that, I ended up knowing everything.

He realized the terrible curse of omniscience and omnipotence the moment he started, before he had even taken a half step. That was why he could not help but despair. Because it was the first beginning, he could not help but be completely absorbed in the first despair.

From the beginning, I was inevitably engulfed in despair, and I could only exist with despair.

That’s why I wanted to be liberated.

That’s why I wanted to get away.

So the first beginning considered itself unfortunate. It considered itself terrible. So it wanted to let go of everything.

That is why he longed for someone who could take away the curse from within him. Then he realized. If there is no such person, why not create one? Because he has omnipotence.

That’s how all the tragedies began. No, it would be more correct to say that the distortion that was inherent from the beginning eventually brought about the end.

In the end, everything went as the true creator god wanted. The mediocre gods he created longed for the true creator god’s omniscience and omnipotence, and eventually chose the path of rebellion and robbed the true creator god of his omniscience and omnipotence, just as he wanted.

The problem is that the great power of omniscience and omnipotence possessed by the true creator god was not properly controlled by all the mediocre gods. As a result, the mediocre gods were not able to properly create the world they wanted. That is why they wanted an eraser. They wanted a special being who could cleanly erase their failures.

And so the one who was created was the ‘Devil King’.

That is, the first distortion reached the point of the creation of the Demon King.

The problem is that the mediocre gods were unable to properly control their power when they created the Demon King, and as a result, they ended up creating a natural enemy who could eliminate them with his own hands.

In the end, the root of everything was in the beginning.

As a result, the initial distortion he created led to today’s disaster.

But even knowing that fact, the first beginning… .

I was happy.

Even if I lost my omniscience, even if I was robbed of my omnipotence, even if everything I had left was used and I was recycled to the point of life and death…

He no longer had a need to know things he was not interested in, and he no longer had a need to exert himself in things he was not interested in.

He no longer knew how far the tragedy he had caused would lead to disaster. He no longer had the power of omniscience and omnipotence. He was no longer a creator god. Using that as an excuse, he simply enjoyed the happiness he had obtained.

But there was a problem.

Little by little, he came to realize that the power of omnipotence was returning to him.

It was something that the true creator god did not want.

Although the Demon King killed the gods and took some of the gods’ omnipotent power, it was impossible for even the Demon King to completely take all of that immense power. That’s why the power he couldn’t absorb completely returned to the true Creator. No matter how much the true Creator wanted to reject it, it was impossible. The power that had nowhere to go never tried to leave its original location.

So he started searching urgently.

A being that can take all of his power.

It was Jade, the warrior’s teacher, who decided that.

The true Creator God had no doubt that foolish humans would accept the curse of omnipotence as a matter of course without even realizing how terrifying it was.

Even without omniscience, he was confident that his predictions could not be wrong.

That’s why

For him

This was the first.

“There is no worst case scenario like this one.”

It was the first time that he had experienced being wrong, not just in terms of his expectations being wrong, but being so thoroughly wrong that he had to use the expression “trampled on.”

Jade, the human and warrior’s teacher who gave the true creator god the first experience of expected failure, only had a strong contempt mixed with disgust in his gaze.

“Children are the ones who completely slaughter their parents, and from the beginning, parents only had the intention of using their children… . These are our creator gods. My very existence feels pitiful. Sigh.”

He shook his head, rubbing his forehead as if he were truly disgusted.

As it was the first time he had ever experienced such contempt since he was born, he could not help but freeze in place for a moment as a true creator.
