Chapter 6: All-Knowing and All-Powerful
"O All-Knowing Almighty, is it true that you have everything under your control, and can you create a stone that even you cannot lift?"
The words were accompanied by a slight sneer on the corner of the dark object's mouth.
"You have said that I am not your creation, and you call all the angels that you have created with your own hands and those that you have not created with your own hands, in other words, so long as the life that was originally created by you is your creation, then ...... Does I, who is not your creation, mean that it goes back to the original source, that which is my Creator, was not created by you? In other words, by whom did you create it that you were not omniscient and omnipotent?"
"That is to say, O All-Knowing Almighty, may I think so...... Are you not the original Creator, or even the creation of something yourself?"
"If you were created, who created you?"
The scarlet pupils contracted slightly, revealing a certain kind of madness of a dangerous aura, and the deepest part of the crazy and hideous aura was a cold and bone-chilling calm.
This monster has always been arrogant and empty-sighted, because it lacks a sense of fear, it lacks reverence for everything in this world, fate, life and death, order, everything is not taken into its eyes, and everything is scorned, and the contemptuous attitude of being too arrogant and lacking in awe will also make it fall into the trap when it is sometimes blind, but when it is completely serious, it is unexpectedly calm, but often no one is really qualified to make it serious.
It didn't care if the All-Knowing Almighty answered, the Dark Thing just spoke to itself.
And if we go back to square one, then there is no doubt that my predecessor, the human named Meng, did hear the story of God's seven-day creation, Adam and Eve, then...... What does this world mean? Is it just another repetition? Or are you forced into some kind of cycle even as an omniscient and omnipotent? So, are you really omniscient and omnipotent......
As he spoke, the dark thing's pupils grew colder.
After all, it is not comfortable to be an angel here, he is trying to guess the scope and limits of "omniscient and omnipotent", and to estimate what the limits of God's power and power are.
The All-Knowing Almighty, who sat on the high throne, did not interrupt it, but quietly let the dark thing speculate, and waited for the dark thing to stop talking before speaking.
"Rachel, I can tell you that, as I have said, you are not my creation, yet you are caught within the limits of logic and do not understand what omniscience and omnipotence are. ”
"I am omniscient and omnipotent, and there is nothing you can list that I cannot do, not even the creation of a round triangle, a cat that is both dead and alive, and all kinds of things that are contrary to common sense and logic are only in my hands, because logic and thought are only my creatures and servants. ”
"In a single thought, I can create thousands of universes, and in a single thought, I can erase thousands of universes, and all time, space, world, and gods are meaningless to me, precisely because I am omnipotent, omniscient, and cannot be limited by logic, and I am omniscient and omnipotent. ”
Listening to the words of the all-knowing and all-powerful, the monster, which was shrouded in darkness, just sneered, not paying attention, but continued to ask.
"I have indeed seen your power, and it is true that all time and space except this world have been erased by you, but I am curious...... If what you say is true, there must have been a God who had created the world before me, and what would have happened between two omniscient and all-powerful beings? ”
The dark thing said word by word, but the eyes became more and more indifferent and calm.
Even though it had seen the omniscient and all-powerful erase countless planes in a single thought, it had no reverence at all, and on the contrary, it was still trying to gauge the limits of the omniscient and all-powerful one.
And the voice that responded to it remained calm and calm.
"Rachel, you are still trying to limit me with logic, but I tell you bluntly, logic does not limit the omniscient and the all-powerful, and there are no metaphysical concepts of strength and weakness, life and death, existence and non-existence, etc., in my eyes, because these are only tools that I have created to formulate and measure the world, and the past, future, present, or another God have no meaning to me. ”
The dark thing's pupils constricted slightly, as if it was keenly aware of something.
"Compared to your doubts about me, Rachel, you must have noticed something by now......"
At this moment, the leisurely voice of the All-Knowing Almighty came.
The dark thing did not speak, it could not see its face clearly, and there was no movement in its scarlet pupils, for it knew very well what the All-Knowing Almighty meant.
Monsters are meant to eat.
Even though it swallowed the entire Nordic universe in one fell swoop, with its ever-growing body, one day, the entire Nordic universe will be completely digested by it, and at that time, it is bound to usher in that never-ending hunger again.
And this is nothing, it is still a long time, but the most important question is......
Its body was already a world of its own, and it was not aware of it before the birth of the world, but when this world was born, it realized that its body had fallen into a completely different flow of time from the outside world, and the outside world was only a breath, and it had already spent a year.
The reason for this is that the time and space of the outside world are the creations of the All-Knowing and Almighty, which can be used by any angel and life, but it does not belong to the Great Serpent.
You can't drink a drop of water, you can't breathe a shred of air, you can't occupy any space, you can't use a moment of time, everything in this world doesn't belong to the serpent, because the serpent is not a creature of the omniscient and all-powerful, so it is not eligible to enjoy it, and the space-time that sustains it is formed by itself, and its time flow is naturally different.
Of course, as early as a thousand years ago in the outside world, a few days before the eyes of the Great Snake, the Omniscient and Almighty generously gave the Great Snake a choice:
By becoming its messenger and obeying the will of the Knowing and Almighty, God will allow the serpent to use everything in this world.
And apparently, the serpent sneered and refused.
However, the embarrassing situation is still in front of the serpent, even if it has created a dark thing out of the material of this world, and can temporarily stay in it, but it also has to face the fact that its own body is very likely to fall into hunger again in a short time, and it intends to spy on the limits of the ability of the omniscient and all-powerful, why not try to find a way to save itself?
And all of the time and space except this world have been destroyed by this omniscient and all-powerful one, which means that the serpent has no other way to fill his stomach......
On the throne, the all-knowing all-powerful one, shrouded in endless light, quietly looked down on the dark thing beneath him, waiting for the decision of the monster in front of him.
Will it become its devout angel, or will it become a hungry monster?
Everything is only in the thought of the dark thing in front of you......
"Ho ho ...... Hahahahaha......ha
However, the dark thing in front of it suddenly began to laugh inexplicably, laughing incomparably insolently, and after a long time, it clasped its hands to its chest, and looked at the absolute god in front of it with its scarlet pupils.
"It's funny how I've been pushed into such a situation...... Yahweh, why don't we make a bet?"
Obviously he was already in trouble, but the big snake was as conceited as ever, and his madness did not show any attenuation at all.
"Bet?"
High on the throne, there was a little more confusion in the calm voice.
The corners of his mouth were hooked, and his scarlet pupils gradually flashed with deep madness and hideousness.
"How about betting on whether the world will end up in my hands or yours?"
Along with the darkness, a chessboard suspended in the air appeared in the palace, with sixty-four squares in black and white, and the supreme god could easily see that it was a chess game that had not yet appeared in this world.
It's just that, except for the confrontation between the two kings, one black and one white, neither the queen nor the castle, the bishop, the knight, or the soldier appear on the chessboard.
"I have to say, Yahweh ...... No, I am only a weak man in front of you, and in that case, I am compelled to confront you in the way of the weak, with the wisdom that I disdain. ”
Looking at the absolute god sitting high on the throne in front of him, the eyes of the dark thing were cold and indifferent.
"You have said that you will not know what you do not want to know, in other words, you are equally ignorant of the future you do not want to know, so take a bet with me and bet on my freedom. If you win, I will fall down before you and bow down to you as an angel, and if you lose, I will restore the infinite time and space that will no longer trap me here. ”
"Mortal, why do you think I'll agree?"
On the other side, the high absolute god responded calmly, but the calm voice was inexplicably cold for the first time.
In the presence of this omniscient and all-powerful being, even a serpent capable of devouring the world is no different from mortal things.
What qualifications does a mortal object have to play against him?
"Because if you bet against me, the world will be a lot more interesting...... I don't believe you'd say no. ”
A vague figure made of invisible black shadows, his pupils were full of madness and hideousness, and the corners of his mouth were smirked.
After a long time, a voice came.
"Interesting bets, interesting things, I agreed. ”
Accompanied by the words of the absolute gods, next to the chessboard symbolizing the white king, there were suddenly many more chess pieces, queens, knights, bishops, castles, and soldiers, all listed on the chessboard, but in the eyes of the big snake, the chess pieces were clearly angels with different identities.
On the chessboard, the lonely black king faced the white king's chess pieces, and the solemn and invisible surging momentum rushed from the white chess, almost destroying the black king completely.
"If you don't have a piece, you'll lose. ”
The god on the other side said calmly.
Although there is no opening, both sides know very well that on this chessboard, Wang Qi cannot move, since it is a chess game, how can there be a reason for the king who dominates the chess game to do it himself?
Opposite the gods, however, the dark thing simply grinned.
"King, there will be no pawns. ”
With its sound, the dark shadows that formed the form of the dark things dispersed in the crystal sky, leaving the empty palace with only the omniscient and all-powerful god left.
