The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 117



116. As a parent, as an adult

If so.

This is just a story of what if.

Imagine if, every morning when you woke up, you knew the fate of every person who was going to die that day. Imagine that.

If that weren’t enough, let’s say you were to gain the ability to know everything about how that person lived, how that person lived sharing friendship and love, and what kind of beautiful future would unfold if that person didn’t die.

At first, you will try. Especially if it is someone close to you or someone you are destined to die, you will have no choice but to move even more. If you know that someone very close to you will die today and you have a mental problem that makes you just watch, you are not worthy of living as a human being.

But unfortunately, let’s say that what was given to you was only omniscience, and not omnipotence. What would happen then? It’s simple. You would only see people die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die right before your eyes. If you only have omniscience and omnipotence, didn’t the World Tree, the mother of the elves, already prove with her harsh life that it would be like hell?

But what if you were lucky enough to be given omnipotence? Then it would be simple. To make sure no one dies, to make sure no one is unhappy, to make sure no one sheds tears… You would go crazy trying to perceive everything with your omnipotence and solve everything with your omnipotence.

Now! With this, a world where no one is sad is completed. … A world completed through the sacrifice of just one person, just one person with omniscience and omnipotence.

As a result, the people living in that world are no longer sad, but the one omniscient and omnipotent person who must be sacrificed to maintain that world has no choice but to continue to sacrifice, sacrifice, and sacrifice himself. If he did not do so, the world would soon become a world filled with sadness.

The only person in the world who possesses omnipotence is the one who has pulled out the only blank in the world.

If you think so….

It’s not that it’s incomprehensible.

This becomes even more understandable when you consider that they were forced into such a role against their will.

From the perspective of the true creator, it must have been an unfair and unjust thing to do.

So you probably wanted to get out of that hell.

But that doesn’t mean….

It is unacceptable that parents gave birth to children with the intention of passing everything on to them. It is something that should not be tolerated. Parents and children should never do that.

No matter what anyone says, for those mediocre gods, the true creator god was their parents and the only adult they could rely on. The moment that happens, the true creator god has his own responsibility and duty. It is something that can never be denied, something that can never be put down. That is what parents and adults are like. They are not something light enough to be put down just because you want to.

“You must have suffered too. It must have been hard. You must have really resented the world.”

I can understand. I can also think that there is nothing I can do. No matter what anyone says, isn’t it a situation where you have no choice but to understand that there is nothing I can do? No one could possibly endure that hellish situation. Even if they were God. So I can understand. I can think of that part as pitiful and sympathize with it.

but….

“You were a parent. You were an adult. As such, you had duties and responsibilities.”

This can’t be overlooked.

The gods who were half-hearted were unfilial. They did something that was outrageous to heaven and man, so they think they should be punished accordingly. However, if that was the plan set by the parents, then it would be different.

The fact that parents did not fulfill their responsibilities as parents is a separate issue from the sins committed by the mediocre gods. The sins committed by the true creator god were also not light, so much so that they could not be covered up with the logic that ‘the true creator god was the victim.’

Because parents have parental responsibilities that they can never avoid, and adults have obligations that they must fulfill as adults that they can never let go of.

“I would like to ask.”

So now, at this moment, I couldn’t help but ask the true Creator.

“You really didn’t know? No, you really didn’t feel bad? Were you just at ease? Were you just at ease, saying that the time of hell was over? Were you just happy that you were free and handed everything over to your child?”

That’s why I couldn’t help but ask the real Creator.

Considering the other person’s position, it may be something you shouldn’t dare do.

The opponent is God, and I am just a human.

but

But I was also a parent and an adult.

I was just a parent trying to be a good parent, and an ordinary adult trying my best to fulfill my duties as an adult. So I dared to claim that I was equal to the true Creator in that regard.

Even if that person is God and I am human… .

If we are the same parents and the same adults

Because I thought I was someone who had a lot to say and was fully qualified to do so.

♧♧♧

-What are we to you?

-… … .

-…Are you still not giving me any answer?

-… … .

-In your eyes… we are not coming in after all?

-Go back.

-Yes, I will go back. But don’t forget. If the day comes that our relationship breaks down… . It was you who broke it.

It’s a distant past.

It’s so far away… It’s such a distant past that it wouldn’t be strange for me, now that I’ve lost my omniscience, to forget it. But it’s strange. I’ve clearly lost my omniscience… Why haven’t I forgotten it yet? I should have the freedom to forget now… Why?

He didn’t know the answer. No, he didn’t want to know. He didn’t have the power of omniscience, so he had the freedom to not know about things he didn’t want to know. He wanted to not know, and he actually didn’t know, so he was able to create a safe in his mind and lock it inside. Even so, there were times when he ignored the key and jumped out… . Still, he kept covering it up.

and

The answer I had been trying to avoid realizing by making excuses about losing my ability to think…

I had no choice but to realize it through the mouth of the person I was trying to pass it off to.

“You really didn’t know? No, you really didn’t feel bad? Were you just at ease? Were you just at ease, saying that the time of hell was over? Were you just happy that you were free and handed everything over to your child?”

The moment I heard that question, I couldn’t help but realize it, even though I had lost all my powers.

-I see… .

From noble mtl dot com

The true creator god broke the silence that had been kept for a thousand years, or even longer than that, ten thousand years… He had no choice but to break it. It was because the vault that had been sealed for that long had been forcibly opened.

– Did I regret… . the choices I made… . the things I did… . the way those children ended up like that… . Did I harbor feelings of regret… ?

From the moment he was born, he possessed the power of omniscience. As a result, he could not help but know regret. Regret was an emotion that could not be learned without experience and lack of ignorance. However, for the true creator god, who was born with omniscience and lived his life wielding it and taking it for granted, failure and ignorance were things that could never be touched. He knew that such things existed, but understanding them perfectly and accepting them completely was a completely different matter. That is why he could not realize the emotion of regret. Since he was born with everything, it was an emotion that he could never have.

That is why he should never have realized it. If he had been alone, he might not have realized it even after an eternity. That possibility was quite possible. In fact, he had just kept it in a safe and sealed until now.

But the safe was no longer usable.

Because I realized it.

Because I found out the answer.

If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know, but now that you know, you can’t go back to the past. That truth is an absolute truth that not only humans, but even the Creator God cannot avoid.

… but it was too late.

Everything is everything… .

“It’s never too late!”

A mere human being, a parent and an adult, shouted out to the spirit of the true creator god who knew regret and was about to walk the path of frustration.

“Me too… and the Creator God too… nothing is too late.”

-… … .

“More than anything, don’t we have the right to give up? We are adults… and at the same time, we are parents.”

That was enough.

That was enough to set the clock of the true Creator, which had been frozen for a long time, moving.
