The little pastor is taking care of the weirdness of divinity

Chapter 315 7. Nightfall

Pangloss spoke eloquently.

In the trillions of years of immortal civilization, there has been no shortage of sages seeking the truth.They study the nature of the universe and explore forbidden knowledge that no one has ever touched.

Pangloss is one of them.

He once developed a spell that only he can use, which can reincarnate in a non-ghost material form after his death.

Not long ago, to be precise, thousands of years ago, Pangloss had insight into the logic and laws at the lowest level of the universe, and unexpectedly discovered an extraordinary power that was beyond common sense.

This extraordinary power is extremely powerful, and its owner can reshape reality in a single thought.

Pangloss calls it "divine power."If divine power is injected into a being, that being will ascend to a certain essential level and become a god.Each god corresponds to several concepts called "clergy", such as [Destruction], [Light], [Magic], [Order], [Tricks], and [Knowledge].As long as the priesthood is performed, the deity can maintain and strengthen itself.

Pangloss began to study the nature of this extraordinary power in the laboratory.He collaborated with other researchers to fuse different authorities and create gods out of thin air.The Council of the Undead supported his research, giving him the best materials and assistants.

Until one day, a newly created god merged the power of [Life], [Growth], [Creation], and [Gods], and was so powerful that even Pangloss felt fear.

The gods in the laboratory are greedy and cruel, eager to extract more than they can give.The emergence of this god symbolizes the birth of a new, strange, and blasphemous life form in the universe.The life energy on which He lives is completely opposite to that of the undead residents who rule the universe - today, this energy is called "positive energy", as opposed to the "negative energy" that maintains the undead.

When the God of Life in the laboratory truly showed his authority and power, Pangloss realized how blasphemous he had created.

God imitated the appearance of the undead, creating creatures with breathing and heartbeats, and an existence with the same blasphemous essence as the God of Life.

He combined the appearance of ghosts, the flesh of zombies and the bones of skeletons to create a human appearance.

Feeling a terrible threat, Pangloss tried to destroy the accidentally created god, but the god broke through the seal first and escaped from the laboratory.

·······
Chabron was thoughtful. After a while, he said:
"In other words, the mother of all living things escaped from your laboratory."

"Yes, He has power that I simply cannot grasp. He is growing, becoming more powerful every second than the last. He escaped from the laboratory and is missing." Pangloss said.

Chabron was silent for a while.

He had heard Anneway mention the secrets that the girl had discovered in the mysterious ruins, but it was a completely different feeling than hearing it directly from Pangloss.

If this is the secret of God.Does this have something to do with his life experience?
Pangloss and his colleagues were the inventors of the gods, but Chabron had the power to restrain them.

"Can I see, where you made the gods?" Chablain said.

Chabron understood that the Star Dream Crystal could not perfectly project things that were too high. What he could see and touch was only a poor imitation, but it was enough to make his heart surge.

"Come with me."

Pangloss waved to the two of them and flew out of the room.

The two of them followed the ghost,

They walked down the long corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there is a door.

They pushed the door open.

"This is a laboratory for making gods!"

What greets the eye is a spacious giant room, where the magic of folding space makes the interior appear larger than the exterior.The side of the room was hundreds of meters long, and the room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine.Beakers, alcohol lamps, measuring cylinders and test tubes are placed on the table in an orderly manner.There are unnamed mechanical instruments everywhere.

Occupying the center of sight are five or six giant glass covers, each large enough to hold a person.But the other glass covers were empty. In only one glass cover, there was a sphere that seemed to be filled with infinite brilliance, floating up and down.

When he saw this shining ball of light, Chabron's heart twitched violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.

He walked into the glass enclosure containing the ball of light.

"What is the ball of light here?" Chabron asked.

"This is another of my experiments, which combines the power of [Time], [Magic], [Knowledge] and [Light]. I call it the God of Civilization. I inject the history of civilization development into it, hoping that he will serve as a Witnesses can protect the development of civilization," Pangloss said.

Chabron got close to the ball of light and looked at it carefully.He is a dazzling perfect sphere of light surrounded by a circle of mysterious symbols.

"Brother Chabron, this ball of light looks a bit like..." Nemo said in a low voice.

"Eternal Light." Chabron told Nemo the name of God, and he took out the holy symbol in his pocket.

There is no difference between the emblem on the holy emblem and what you see in front of you.

Guang ignored the boy's movements.

Chabron turned his head and said to Pangloss:

"The Mother of All Creatures escaped from your laboratory. From then on, there were living creatures in the universe?"

Pangloss nodded lightly:

"Yes. After the experimental subjects escaped, nothing happened for a long time. I thought everything was over. But many years later, a vast sea of ​​living creatures appeared with a terrible plague."

··········
Pangloss continues the story.

Many years later, countless living creatures with the same essence as the mother of all living beings appeared on many planets, and the plague of life spread on one planet after another. Compared with the plague, this is closer to a curse.

After the undead are infected with the plague, they will become as greedy as the mother of all creatures that brought the plague, driven by fierce desires.Living creatures constantly ask for food from the outside world, otherwise they will be tortured by diseases and experience severe hunger and thirst.

Plants demand the energy of stars, and the poisonous sunlight becomes their sustenance; animals kill each other and devour those who are unfortunate like themselves.Cursed by hunger, thirst, aging, and pain, they become addicted to the gas and water around them.

Even if you linger in this way, the disease called life will continue to worsen.The disease carves wrinkles and spots on the skin, deprives the body of strength, erodes the body, makes the joints rust, the eyes are cloudy, and finally brings living things to an end.

The curse ends only in death.When the profane power - the power called life - has passed away, their corpses will slowly return to the most perfect and healthy form of life itself.

When the mighty legion of living creatures devoured one planet after another, the undead discovered that they had forgotten how to fight in the hundreds of millions of years of peace.The original master of the universe relied on his combat ability, which was less than one ten thousandth of his own mathematical and philosophical attainments, to resist the legion of living creatures.

The most terrifying threat comes from the leaders of the legion of living creatures, the gods who have been given great power by the Mother Goddess herself.

The Mother of All Creatures has the priesthood of [Creation] and [Gods]. She gave birth to gods as well as mortals.The Mother Goddess created countless true gods as her own legion, and their efficiency was tens of thousands of times higher than that of Pangloss' laboratory.

In Pangloss's description of the legions of the gods, Chabron was able to detect some familiar faces.For example, the Laughing Clown was once the god who whispered dark dreams, and the Silver Lady was once the god of the King of Kings.At that time, the shackles that restricted the gods did not exist, and the gods showed all their power unbridled in the mortal world.

The undead all over the universe can still fight against living people and beasts, but they are powerless when facing the true god.For every true god killed by the armies of the undead, the Mother of All Souls raises two servants to godhood.

Then, the undead remembered Pangloss, the creator of the gods.If he can create gods, is there a way to erase them?

Pangloss accepted his mission, and everyone in the universe understood the nature of divinity better than he did.He explored the laws of the origin of the universe and found ways to fight against the gods.

···········
Pangloss turned his head and said to Chabron:

"In fact, I have proposed a plan to end this disaster and submitted it to Parliament. If the proposal passes, this will be our opportunity to win this war."

Chabron's face was neither sad nor happy. He wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Pangloss understood what he meant and breathed a sigh of relief:

"But now that you are standing in front of me, it means that my plan has failed."

Xia Bron said slowly:

"Yes. Cursed patients have spread over planets in the universe and established their own civilizations. In this sick universe, healthy creatures are considered different. Most of the new undead are They just instinctively hate life and attack living people, and only a few will retain their sanity and humanity.”

An indescribable atmosphere of stalemate permeated the laboratory, almost turning the air into a viscous liquid state.

"So, Mr. Pangloss, what is your attempt to counter the Mother of All Beings and the other gods?" Chablain asked.

Pangloss moved his soul body and floated to the window:
"I found that my people are better at creating than fighting, just as I worked with other councilors in the parliament to finalize every law of physics in the universe. I will gather the power of as many spellcasters as possible, hold a ceremony to carry out the star sea, and repeat Write the laws of the universe once. When the ritual is completed, gods will not be able to exist in the universe."

As he spoke, Pangloss looked out the window:
"I named the plan [Night Come]. This name indicates that no matter how dazzling the sun's light is, night will eventually come."

Chabron also turned his attention to the window.

The planet's rotation is very fast, so the day is also very fast. At this time, it is already sunset.

The cruel fireball slowly sank on the horizon, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the entire city golden.After a while, darkness surged from the sky on the other side.Shadows cover the land, and twilight falls.

The streets that were originally sparsely populated gradually became lively again.

Vampires and corpses walked to the street arm in arm, ghosts and resentful spirits came out of their houses, little skeletons danced in the square, and shadows swirled happily in the air.

The city that sleeps during the day wakes up again when night comes.

It turned out to be the case.

Chabron suddenly understood.

"In the language of living people. Night is used to metaphorize despair and plight, while sunlight and day are used to metaphorize beauty. The first light of dawn symbolizes nascent hope in the languages ​​of all civilizations;
"In the language of the undead, everything is exactly the opposite. The radiation of the stars symbolizes suffering, and the coming of night is a sign of the end of all suffering. The twilight of Sihe is exactly what hope looks like."

The true meaning of [Yelin], translated into the language of living people, if free translation is adopted, should be,

【Dawn Dawn】.

"Nightfall" is the name of a fictional game in the Earth's dream. Its Chinese translation is "Doomsday Dusk", which indicates that the end is approaching; its original meaning is "nightfall", which also happens to symbolize the hope that a lost civilization longs for.

What else did Chaplain want to say,
The illusion before my eyes,
It melted.

　My mentality was not very good during this period, and I felt dissatisfied no matter how I wrote.I feel uncomfortable thinking about typing every day. My chest feels like something is stuffed in my chest when I sleep. I don’t even want to touch the computer anymore.

　　The internal friction is quite severe, and the update at the end may be unstable.
