Chapter 34: A Small Man, a Great God
In the world shrouded in darkness, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the sea was turbulent, and only the light, which was as dazzling as the sun, hung high in the sky and became the only source of light in the entire dark world.
In the midst of that light, the celestial monarch of the moon named Gabriel stood high in the sky, as if the king was sitting on his throne, looking down indifferently on the tiny human beneath him.
"Gabriel, can you tell me by divine will?"
Looking at the archangel in front of him, the human named Noah raised his head, and could only see countless dazzling lights and faint figures in his sight, which made him almost unable to open his eyes, but he still endured the sharp pain in his eyes and said slowly.
"I mean God's will. ”
In the countless dazzling lights, the faint figure did not change, but an indifferent and loud voice sounded in his ears, resounding between this dark world and the world, like rolling thunder.
Angels are God's messengers, and what is naturally expressed is also God's will.
Noah didn't know that angels directly conveyed divine will to human beings, even in the past 10,000 years, it was rare to happen, and human beings asked angels about divine will, even more so dating back to the time of the Garden of Eden, it can be said that Noah is now receiving the "revelation" dreamed of by later religions, the highest glory in the eyes of countless believers.
However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care, at this moment, he just wanted to use his weak strength as a human being to do something within his power......
"Gabriel, why would God destroy this world?"
Noah struggled to look directly at the dazzling light in front of him, and then continued.
This is the biggest confusion in his heart, and it is also the strongest question, why, why is this world ushering in this great flood of destruction?
"Fallen humanity is all over the earth, evil monsters are rampant in the world, and the filthy world should be cleansed. ”
And in the light, the voice that responds to it is still indifferent.
Listening to the indifferent voice, Noah's mouth opened wide, his wrinkled old pupils trembling slightly, and his hand grasped the wooden plank, because he was so hard that his fingers were full of sawdust and cut wounds, and he clenched his teeth, showing the violent fluctuations in his heart at this moment.
"Why? Isn't there any other creature in this world that should be saved, should they all die???
He opened his hands and looked at the infinite dazzling light above his head, at the heavenly monarch who could not see his face clearly, and there was a hint of anger in his trembling voice, and his body was trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because of the irrepressible anger.
The angel did not immediately answer the tiny human beneath him, but seemed to be silent.
Then, Noah's consciousness became a little trance-like, he lowered his head, looked around blankly, from left to right, and from right to left, as far as the eye could see, there was only the dark sea of dark tides, only the deep and dark water.
He looked at the sea water in front of him, only a slight sound of sea water surging sounded, and then clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said with difficulty.
Gabriel...... No...... God, do you see it......"
"Dead...... All dead...... In this world, all living beings ...... All living beings are dead......"
As he spoke, the human named Noah faltered, and finally knelt weakly on the plank.
It doesn't matter what country it is, it doesn't matter what city it is, whether it's a human being, whether it's a monster, whether it's a mighty dragon, or if it's a familiar person...... Everything died, and they were buried in the Flood.
In the past 10,000 years of history, countless heroes, heroes, kings and prophets, whether they are good or evil, whether they are noble souls or despicable souls, whether they are worthy of admiration or should be spurned...... All were buried with the Flood.
After a long time, only an indifferent voice sounded slowly overhead.
"None of them are worth saving. ”
Noah bowed his head, and the light that poured down from heaven fell on the plank, and it was very dazzling, dazzling...... It made him feel a little cold.
He was silent.
After a long time, the old man slowly raised his head, looked at the incomparably bright light in front of him, and said word by word in his old pupils.
"Just because they're considered unclean?"
"Destroy all who do not believe in God, destroy all who do not obey God, destroy all who disobey God's will, and destroy all who rebel against God's will." The whole world was created by God, and there is no need for any creation that does not obey God's will. ”
In the dark sky, in the dazzling light like the sun, an indifferent voice sounded.
The old man's chest was rising and falling violently, he stood up with difficulty, gritted his teeth, the hand that was clenched into a fist clenched tightly, making a creaking sound, looking at the light above his head, looking at the faint figure, his eyes were full of anger.
"So ......"
The old man pointed his finger directly at the angel above his head, pointing at the venerable archangel, the Celestial Monarch of the Moon, and his voice distorted with suppressed anger.
"God! You are an evil god! An evil god who has destroyed the world! You are not worthy of my respect! I curse you! I spit on you!"
The archangel above his head, whose eyes were always faint, opened, and from the angel's eyes projected countless flames, falling in the sea, in the air, and on the ship, and where the flames burned, even the sea burned with it.
However, before the archangel could make any move, a low voice like thunder sounded in the air.
"Perverse. ”
With that deep voice with a tone of disappointment, in an instant, the earth shook, the heavens and the earth changed again, the darkness faded, and the light shrouded the world again.
As if the sun was rising, the sun reappeared, and with it the many dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was bright and clear as if nothing had happened, except ......
Only a pair of huge eyes in the sky that were endlessly distant appeared.
Even when the darkness was shrouded, there were still two small stars in the sky, but as the darkness faded, there were a pair of small stars, which were clearly a pair of huge pupils.
The pair of huge pupils seemed to be overlooking the world from infinitely far away, and Noah could even vaguely see a little disappointment in the calm pupils overlooking the world, and the pillars that appeared in the darkness were clearly five fingers of different lengths......
The whole world is in the palm of God's hand.
Magnificent, vast, incredible, unimaginable...... Numerous descriptive words cannot describe the fact that human beings are so small in the face of this infinitely magnificent God that they cannot be contrasted.
......
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
In the face of this incredible scene, in the arms of the young daughter-in-law, the baby cried as if she had a premonition, and the adult adults were full of shock and fear on their faces, and they had no time to care about the child's crying.
On this great ship, isolated from the sea, Noah's family had nowhere to escape, and besides, where could they flee?
Looking down at the planet in the palm of his hand, looking at the dusty ship above the sea, all the tiny humans on the ship could do was instinctively get closer together...... God looked at everything in his palm calmly, without joy or anger.
The whole world was created by God, and if the creation did not conform to God's vision, what was the point?
The only thing that can stop all this is the dark thing, but how can it care about the destruction of a mere chess piece?
The palms of the hands began to close slowly, as if nothing could stand in the way of the god's decision.
However......
"My Father in heaven, you have already punished mankind for my rebellion with Adam and Eve, will you punish mankind a second time for the rebellion of my descendants?"
The faint voice was not loud, but it was enough for the heavenly god to hear.
God's work ceases......
Inside the Crystal Heavenly Palace, the gods shrouded in light were silent.
In the underwater temple, the dark thing that was sitting on the throne and closing its eyes unexpectedly opened its eyes, and for the first time there was a look of surprise in its eyes.
Gabriel, the archangel of the sky, frowned on his own......
I saw that on the big ship, facing the god who was about to destroy the whole world, Noah's family trembled and hugged each other, the young daughters-in-law each hugged or led their young children, and Noah hugged his wife and children.
Fathers protect their wives and children, mothers protect their children, grandfathers protect their grandchildren, and in the presence of this great god, these small human beings do not think only of themselves, but first of all of them think of trying to protect their children, even if their protection is meaningless.
And on their periphery, an illusion that should have vanished, opened its arms and gently embraced its descendants......
