394 – Revelation of God (1)

That day was an unusually sunny and clear day.

“…It’s finally today.”

Like any other time, it was an ordinary and peaceful daily life.

But I knew.

That today would be the day everything changes.

“Phew…”

After checking the time again, I let out a sigh and crossed my legs.

Alright. The preparations were perfect.

Today is the day of the prophecy of the Solar God’s judgement.

The day when God first shows himself in this world again and declares he will destroy the world.

The people will be thrown into chaos by the prophecy.

…It’s finally that day I’ve been preparing for until now.

‘After today, the world will change.’

In the original work.

In the original, after the prophecy of the God’s destruction, the already rickety world completely collapsed.

People fell into fear of death and began to crumble themselves.

Led by Celeste, Cathredal began to destroy the Earth.

The power of espers went berserk, losing their sanity.

At the same time, the rampage of the Solar Relics and the appearance of angels.

It was a total catastrophe and grim hopeless situation.

And.

I will stop all of this.

Gicheolk.

Everything I’ve worked for until now has been for this.

“…”

Of course.

There were some risks.

The biggest being, what if the Solar God finds out my identity? That I’ve been preparing to stop him, breaking his relics, and trying to persuade his saint?

He would probably try to kill me first if he knew.

‘…But that won’t happen.’

Of course I wasn’t too worried about that.

If he knew, he would have tried to kill me sooner. When I’m blocking all the variables of destruction.

And.

‘The power of the stars is still protecting this world.’

Yes.

A long long time ago, when the Solar God and Stellar God ascended together.

The Stellar God put up a barrier of cognition over this world with her last power.

So the Solar God would have difficulty observing and interfering with this world in detail.

That’s how.

…She could hide her counterpart Starthus from him.

Anyway thanks to that barrier made to protect Starthus, I could hide as well.

With the Solar God’s power now, giving power to Celeste was probably the best he could do.

I guess his last attempt to pierce through that barrier was also neutralized by our X Machine.

In the end, this time he could only relay a message prepared from billions of light years away.

‘Of course soon that barrier will be pierced as well.’

But the day that barrier is pierced will be the day this world stands on the brink of destruction by the Solar God’s descent.

So I didn’t need to worry about that now.

The priority now is saving the world from the chaos of the Solar God’s prophecy of destruction.

“…I should get going now.”

With those words, I got up from my seat and left the room.

It wouldn’t be long now before the time comes.

Walking thump thump to the living room, that’s when I saw them.

“Brother!”

“You’ve arrived, Dain.”

“Dain. Only coming now?”

The bustling Ego-Stream members gathered together.

Yes.

These were my Ego-Stream comrades who knew the prophecy of the Solar God’s destruction was coming soon.

[Understood Dain. We’ll follow the plan as soon as the prophecy comes, sir!]

The only other people who knew what would happen today were Seol-A as the person in charge to manage the chaos,

And…

‘Starthus also knows.’

I quietly thought.

…By now she’s probably waiting at the Association as I told her.

To control the world thrown into chaos by the impending prophecy of the Solar God.

And.

There was still one secret I hadn’t told only Haru.

‘That she alone could be the agent of the Stellar God to stop the Solar God.’

Starthis knows she has the Stellar power but doesn’t know like me that she was directly chosen by the Stellar God…the Stellar Goddess herself.

And the one reason I haven’t told her this story in detail.

“…”

Because today would be the day she meets the Stellar Goddess directly.

In fact, in the original work, the settings about the gods hadn’t been revealed in detail until today.

And today was when the Solar God appears and the Stellar Goddess descends into Starthus’s mind to tell her all the secrets, matching the Solar God’s appearance.

‘…To be precise, it wasn’t the Stellar Goddess herself but her lingering will.’

Anyway.

That’s why I didn’t tell Starthus about it in detail.

She would find out about her own identity today anyway.

‘So…’

For now.

Let’s focus on the impending disaster ahead.

“…You’re all gathered already.”

With those words, I sat down on the sofa where my comrades were gathered.

It was time to wait with tense minds for what would happen soon.

***

[Currently in downtown Seoul, the weather is sunny so there are many out enjoying walks…]

“Is everyone ready?”

And after some time had passed.

In the bright living room with the warm sunshine coming through the window.

Feeling that the time had finally come, I looked around at my comrades and spoke.

“…Yes.”

“Phew. I’m pointlessly nervous.”

Everyone nodded back with tense expressions.

In the original work, it was clearly described that hearing the voice of God in a human body was a great burden.

For the ‘espers’ who received the power of God, the pain would be even greater.

That’s why I gathered everyone here early to prepare mentally. Forewarned is forearmed, after all.

Anyway, now the time had come.

The time when the last remnants of ordinary daily life that had been busy would end.

And so.

At last.

“…Everyone get ready.”

Glancing at the clock quietly, as soon as it hit the time I predicted, I spoke softly.

It was finally starting.

And the moment the second hand moved to the next mark.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung

At last, it began.

[Now let’s take a look at some interviews with citizens- Gak!…]

The anchor reading the news on TV started groaning in pain.

[Ugh…]

On screen, numerous people grabbing their heads in agony.

At the same time.

An unbelievable force pressed down on us, like a heavy gravity.

“Kuh…”

Even I who was prepared felt greater pressure than expected, gritting my teeth.

At last.

His voice could be heard.

[Greetings, humans.]

-Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung.

That voice, as if it was sounding directly in my brain.

Though it was an incomprehensible language, a voice I could somehow understand echoed, and at that moment.

I could feel it.

Ah.

This is truly a God.

An existence beyond our reach, different from us.

Whether awake or asleep, people all over the world were probably being forced to hear this voice.

Just listening inflicted a pressure like my heart would burst.

Perhaps because it was the voice of a divinity completely unlike humans, just listening with our bodies was difficult.

Like ants before a giant. Upon hearing the voice of a God with a power on a different scale, humans realized the difference in level.

Ah, we can’t defy that no matter what we do.

Like a child paralyzed with fear, unable to move a muscle. That’s what people must be feeling in this situation.

In this situation where just receiving his power was difficult.

His words continued.

[I am the one who ruled over you. The being once called the Solar God. It’s nice to see you again, my children.]

[And in my absence. You have…]

[Grown horribly.]

And.

…The God’s reaction to humans didn’t seem very positive.

[Wretched creatures, let me make this clear in advance.]

[I will judge you.]

Around then, I somehow raised my head and looked around at the others.

“Ugh..!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Cough, argh…”

As expected, the effects were greater on those who received more of the Solar God’s power.

Unlike Soobin and Seoyeon barely persevering with cold sweat, those like Choi Saehee and Seo Jayaoung directly receiving the Solar power were almost collapsed on the ground, heads down.

Well, even I who was under less pressure thanks to the power of the stars found this difficult, so how must it be for them.

[In 180̴̧̩̖͔̟̈̎͆̉̊͝%̷͉̜̝͉͈̈́̊́͊̌͢͡@̷̢̪̗̞͎̊̊̽͋͝!҈̨̭̰̜̾̍͞ days, I will personally descend and judge your sins.]

[So until then, spend your time in atonement awaiting the impending destruction.]

[Only death befits you.]

With those final words.

“Huhk…!”

“Hurgh, hurgh.”

“Haa… Ugh, water. Can I get some water…”

At last, the overwhelming pressure pinning our bodies disappeared.

Catching their breath, the Ego-Stream members who had collapsed to the ground slowly got up one by one, holding their heads.

They all seemed quite mentally shocked.

“Brother, ugh… You okay?”

“Cough. Yeah, I’m fine. Seoyeon, how about you?”

“I’m okay too… Just a bit startled.”

“Ugh. I didn’t think I’d experience something like this in my life. How can a being called God be no different from an evil spirit.”

As Shinryeong leaned against the wall cursing,

“Wow… this really isn’t easy.”

Among the espers, Choi Saehee who recovered first held her dizzy head and spoke.

“Yo. Even though we knew and listened, it was shocking. It must’ve been chaotic for those hearing for the first time, right?”

As she spoke.

…Yes. Soon, as people come to their senses one by one, the world will fall into chaos. Everyone must be paralyzed with fear.

So now was important.

I had to get control of the situation before things escalated further.

So.

First, I had to meet the most important person to persuade.

“…Stay here everyone. I’ll be right back.”

“Yes, hurry back.”

At my words as I grabbed my coat, everyone nodded. I had already told them. That I had to go to Cathredal as soon as the prophecy came.

Because.

Right now, meeting Celeste came first.

She must have heard a special message from the Solar God alone.

Swish

I tore the portal paper and instantly teleported to the Cathredal Cathedral on the opposite side of Earth.

Despite it being night here, bright as day outside the window.

I ran to Celeste’s office, then her prayer room where her voice could be heard.

“Sob…”

In the corner of the room.

With her silver hair draped down, sitting collapsed on the floor with a shocked expression was Celeste.

“No, Miss Celeste! Are you okay?”

I ran towards her as she crumbled.

“…?”

Looking towards me blankly, only now focusing on and recognizing me.

“Ah, Ego, Egoistic…”

And now realizing the situation or relieved to see me in her confusion.

She called my name and clung to my clothes, sobbing and mumbling.

“…Egoistic, I, what should I do… God, God…”

“Shh. First, calm down, calm down.”

Seeing her clinging to me with a shattered expression.

I slowly began to speak to reassure her.

Now was the time.

To reap everything I had sown.
