The World I Was Supporting Was Real - Chapter 36



Episode 36. What is contained in the starry sky

Great Igwogwodon!

Just knowing where he was felt like it lifted them to a higher level.

Evolution. By recognizing God, they become beings of a higher dimension!

Igwogwodon!

―Everything is to fulfill the word of God.

The word of God must be fulfilled.

However, there was still too much to prepare to fulfill the ‘word of God’.

In a situation where they couldn’t even properly handle the time of the world, it was natural that they couldn’t dare to covet the realm of God.

To realize such a tremendous thing, they still lacked learning and the power of God.

If it becomes a little clearer. If they gain more power… Someday, they will be able to make the word of God a reality.

God willingly bestowing ‘the power of God’ means sacrificing himself to give the world to us.

As their existence becomes clearer through power, they feel how warm and great God’s love is.

―All they want is God’s continuous support.

What is needed to fulfill the word of God is only the power of God.

As long as God continuously provides ‘the power of God’, there is no need to go against God’s will.

They agreed with each other.

It was more of a resonance than an expression.

―So that Igwogwodon can cherish our world.

So that Igwogwodon does not abandon us.

―Long live Igwogwodon!

Everything is only for Igwogwodon.

The fateful day.

The day they recognized the existence of Igwogwodon and realized that he cherished and loved them.

Eirene was recalling that moment, which had completely changed her, over and over in her heart.

Now she does not deny the existence of God.

God exists, and we creatures serve him as ‘Igwogwodon’. To Eirene, he is a slightly more special being―― Master.

The only being who can own me.

It felt as if she had woken up from a sweet dream, but Eirene did not want to think of it as merely a sensation from a fantasy world.

‘Was it really… just a fantasy?’

Even now, if she closed her eyes, it was as vivid as if it happened yesterday.

The moment they held hands and escaped the castle on a rainy day.

The time when she blushed deeply after hearing that she was well-cooked while being carried on his back.

The happiest and most peaceful times of her life spent at the monastery they arrived at together…

Eirene could recognize that those were just fantasies as soon as she returned here.

Yet, what she felt was empty.

Even now, she could clearly feel his breath brushing the depths of her heart, but if all of that was just a part of a ‘divine revelation experience’ shown by God—

‘…!’

At that moment.

A thought flashed through Eirene’s mind like lightning.

‘Yes. Maybe… it might exist…!’

If she had a thought, she had to act on it.

Eirene immediately rose from the throne and hurriedly moved her steps.

* * *

“We have just passed through the castle gates, Your Majesty.”

At the lieutenant’s words, Eirene, who was in the carriage, nodded and said.

“We are not far from here. Continue as instructed.”

“Yes!”

Her choice was to go directly to the Aegerdon Monastery.

Since the emperor’s movement required various troublesome matters, she waited for the dark night when the sun had set. The darker it was, the more convenient it was for a secret journey.

Even though it was dark, the monastery was not far from the castle they had escaped from.

She had only visited once, but she naturally remembered the way. It was impossible for her to forget the path she walked with him, not anyone else, but with him.

After climbing a few hills, Eirene stopped the procession and got off the carriage, commanding the lieutenant.

“Stand guard around here and wait. I will go alone from here.”

With her chin slightly raised, looking down with an imposing appearance, the soldier bowed his head and shouted loudly.

“Yes! Understood!”

The only reason she decided to go alone was simple.

She could not show her disheveled appearance in front of the soldiers.

From noble mtl dot com

Just by coming close to this place – her heart as a woman was wildly racing.

Thump, thump.

“You’re well-ripened.”

“There’s no way to be disappointed. Rather, it’s good, isn’t it? You’re well-ripened. I think there’s a beautiful resonance that can only be created with time.”

Just thinking about that voice made her stomach tickle uncontrollably.

She couldn’t help but twitch her legs. That gentle voice pierced through her.

With the clear evidence that you existed here, it continued to penetrate her.

Igeon was a god. She knew he was an existence she could never meet.

Even so… why is her heart pounding so much?

‘I want to see you… Igeon…’

After taking a short breath, she continued to move her steps.

Passing this hill, the scenery that comes out when you turn left—

‘…!!’

Eirene stopped in her tracks, unable to move forward.

She couldn’t help it.

There was… nothing there.

There was no trace of the monastery to be found anywhere.

All that was there were a few trees. The trees that stood next to the place where they had laid out the food stalls during the days of free service with Igeon.

Confirming those trees, even the thought that her memory might be wrong crumbled.

‘…’

Eirene wandered around the empty lot, dragging her feet.

――I expected it.

That it was a fantasy world.

A place like a kind of magic that God created to give her enlightenment… I knew that much.

When I came to my senses, Erin, who had leaned on the Bible, was the biggest proof.

Even so, what was the reason for coming here?

What was I expecting?

By the grace of God, realizing His existence, and serving Him as my Lord—that would be all a creature could desire.

Why did I run all the way here… trying to find your traces…

“……”

Tears welled up in Eirene’s eyes once again.

She was the one everyone pointed fingers at, calling her heartless for never crying.

But whenever she thought of Lord Igwogwodon, tears flowed helplessly.

Her only master. The one she wanted to serve with all her body and soul…

‘This is… Lord Igwogwodon…’

Eirene quietly prayed in the empty field.

Thank you for loving me.

From now on, I will live this life for Lord Igwogwodon.

I will cooperate with the Church of Gwodong to spread the pure facts of Lord Igwogwodon to the whole world――

‘…Huh?’

A sound was heard at that moment.

A quiet, yet distinctly audible sound.

――The sound of water flowing.

Eirene followed the sound, moving her steps as it led her.

Pushing through the bushes and trees, she arrived at the place where the sound led her―

‘…!!!!’

…a gigantic hot spring.

A hot spring that she couldn’t even understand why it was there.

And Eirene was not seeing this hot spring for the first time. For she had been here――

“…Your Majesty?”

“!!!”

Turning her head at the sound of a woman’s voice-

There stood Erin, the maiden chosen by the gods—the saint.

“Saint…?”

“How did Your Majesty come to be here?”

“Well, that is…”

As Eirene stammered in confusion, Erin thought for a moment-

Then, with a very elegant smile, she said.

“Would you like to join me?”

Swoosh――

As the two women entered, the hot spring water spread out as if it would run dry.

But it was clear that it would not run dry. This place was not just an ordinary hot spring.

Saint Erin. Indeed, it should be said that she was chosen by God, as she possessed an overwhelming amount of divine power that was unparalleled among her peers.

Her white skin and platinum blonde hair, which shone brightly without losing to her skin, had a sacred beauty that would make anyone, even without prior knowledge, call her a saint.

And next to her was the ruler of the empire—Empress Eirene von Einsberg.

Despite her age, she had skin that was as firm as Erin’s.

Moreover, perhaps because of her age, her figure gave off a simultaneously seductive and oppressive feeling.

Her chest, which was absurdly large and did not lose to Erin’s enormous divine power, was an added bonus.

A gathering of women chosen by God, with their majestic chests.

If God were to witness this scene, He would surely let out a divine sound of ‘uhuhu’.

“Is that really true, Saint?”

“Yes. This hot spring is a place that Lord Igogodon bestowed upon me.”

Erin said that by praying to Lord Igogodon, the hot spring water would overflow.

Normally, it would have been dismissed as the nonsense of a religious person, but Eirene knew well that Erin was not someone who would speak lies.

“I see…….”

“Because it is a place blessed by God, no one has known of its existence until now. Only I could perceive this place.”

As she said, there was no sign of anyone around.

At the same time, it was instinctively clear that no one could ever find this place. It was a phenomenon that could only be explained by the word ‘God’s will’.

“But the fact that Your Majesty has found this place……perhaps.”

―Your Majesty has also been chosen, I suppose.

“I…… have been chosen?”

“Yes. Just like me… it is proof that you are receiving Lord Igogodon’s abundant love.”

Erin slowly approached Eirene… … and gently stroked her wet side hair.

“I am glad that Your Majesty is also receiving God’s love. Hehe…….”

“…….”

If it is God’s love, it is… … Lord Igogodon’s love.

Once again, Eirene’s heart began to beat violently.

“I… Saint. I have something to ask.”

“Please, go ahead.”

“Is it all… just an illusion, the plain facts that Erin shared with me from the gods?”

Being dethroned.

Becoming a sacrifice for a new era.

And, the gods manifesting briefly to stop it…

“Is it all… just an illusion?”

Erin closed her eyes without a word.

Then, she clasped her hands together in prayer.

The prayer of a saint—perhaps the only prayer that could reach the gods.

“The gods exist.”

“Yes. Now I know that too.”

“I don’t know what your experience was like, Eirene, as I am merely an agent of the gods… but whatever it was, it cannot be dismissed with the simple word ‘illusion.’ As proof—”

—You entered this hot spring, didn’t you?

“……!!!”

That’s right.

This hot spring… the one where I gazed at the starry sky that seemed about to pour down, exists just like reality!

Then, everything I experienced… truly happened.

“Everything is the will of the gods, Eirene.”

“Saint…”

Eirene realized that a corner of her heart was warming up once again.

This is a plain fact. Even at this moment, a plain and plain fact of Igogodon is being thrust into her body and mind.

“……Until I confirmed the noble face of Igogodon in the portrait, I couldn’t know. Whether I could believe in the gods, and beyond that—whether I could trust people.”

“!!!”

“But now it’s different. After getting to know Igogodon, I can now trust people. Even if betrayed by faith, believing in someone is not a sin… Igogodon taught me that.”

“When you can trust someone, people can move forward…”

Eirene looked up at the sky.

Countless stars were twinkling.

Stars were embedded in Eirene’s blue eyes. One star was faith, another star was love.

“I will declare Igodonism as the official state religion.”

“……!”

“I will announce it tomorrow. So that the plain facts of Igogodon can be shared with the whole world…”

Eirene turned her head and smiled at Erin, who was like a benefactor to her.

It was a resonant smile. A smile that could never have been created without the years of enlightenment that came after 36 years of solitude. It was a very beautiful and warm smile.

“Please take care of me from now on, Saint.”

The Saint smiled silently and held her hand.

It was the moment of overcoming the greatest barrier to spreading the words of Lord Igogodon.

* * *

Yes.

This moment was indeed the moment of overcoming the barrier.

For Erin, whose main purpose was to spread the will of God, it was a very meaningful moment to have even the Emperor on her side.

However, Erin could not simply enjoy this moment. She could not just be happy and think about the future.

The words she uttered with a happy expression, as if she were a girl in love.

“……Until I confirmed the portrait of Lord Igogodon, I couldn’t possibly know.”

Confirmed the portrait?

His Majesty… … directly faced the portrait of Lord Igogodon?

The face of Lord Igogodon that even I don’t know?

Why… … ?

‘Give it all to me’. That was the word of God. Erin had never once thought of going against it.

Nevertheless, the words that kept wandering in her mind—

――Why, before me… … Did you show your face to someone else, Lord Igogodon?
