Chapter 58: On the Creation of the World

Note: This name appeared in the previous Snow Manga chapters, and for the sake of uniform translation, "Magnus" has been changed to "Magnus" in the previous chapter, and then it will be followed by this-

The following text –

In other words, Magnus, the chief architect of the mortal realm, ceased to exist after this change, and was replaced by two new kings of Didra. One was Meritia, who seemed to be a fairly decent deity to Sangeon; The other is Merunez. Dagon, a villain who tries to destroy the world, remembers that the crisis of annihilation two hundred years ago seems to have been triggered by him. I don't know what kind of sparks these two gods will produce when they meet.

"By the way, since the gods have sensed Lockhan's sinister intentions, I'm afraid his fate is not much better than Magnus, right?"

"Of course, sensing that creation was a hoax, a furious Acre tore the body of the culprit, Lockhan, in half. However, the two of them are one and the same, and it is actually his own chest that Aka has torn apart. ”

Thinking of the story of Magnus that I had heard earlier, I asked again, "Did anything happen to Magnus after the body shared by Acre and Lockhan was split in half?" ”

"Well, of course there is......" Sangeon looked up at the night sky, but there was nothing in this plane that he wanted me to see now, "If it is in the mortal realm, you can see that there are two moons in the sky, and that is the body of Rock Khan torn in half. ”

The sun was the hole that Magnus had knocked out when he escaped from the world, and the moon was the torn body of Rock Khan in half. The astronomy of the Nainshi realm is really bloody. Remembering that only two of the three most common celestial objects in reality have been explained, I continued to ask questions.

"And what are the stars?"

"Magnus wasn't the only one who wanted to escape. He was the biggest, so the hole he knocked out was the largest, and later mortals called that hole the sun; Other inconspicuous little holes are the stars in your mouth. ”

……

"Alas, I didn't expect the creation of the world to be such a farce."

After listening to Sangein's long description, I sighed.

Sangeon smiled and asked me rhetorically, "What do you think they should have been like when they were created?" ”

In my inherent understanding, the world realm should have evolved spontaneously. There are no such personified designers and builders. But Sangeon asked me about it. And this is an unscientific magical world, so I'll casually give him two whole literary and artistic works on the earth.

"In primeval times, the origin of heaven and earth was condensed in one egg. At the same time, Aka was pregnant with the egg, and he tried to break the egg to break it, and he split the shell with an axe......"

"Wait......" Counterpoint Flotra weakly interrupted my remarks. Why is there an axe in the egg? ”

"This. Hmmm......"

it. Myths and stories also have to ask what kind of trouble is so detailed. I was tempted to tell Flotra rudely: Don't interject when adults talk, but Sangein was also waiting for me to explain with great interest, so I could only casually give a barely passable addition.

"Aka had one of his teeth removed. Use your teeth as an axe ......"

"Puff ha......" Listening to my explanation, Sangein laughed heartily, "It's absurd enough to hatch a creator god out of an egg, and now you pull out a front tooth the size of a fingernail to use as an axe, you can't even be a farce!" ”

"Uh, your Aka's body can be torn in half and turn into two moons, why can't my Aka remove his front teeth and use them as an axe......"

"I think you should understand one thing first," Sangeon sneered at my rebuttal, pointing out my fallacy, "if Aka were to get something off his body, he would be the first to choose his scales. Moreover, dragons are immortal, and they don't need to hatch eggs to give birth to their own heirs! ”

Well, Sangeon seemed to have a point, and I was speechless. In this case, let me put it another way, it is better not to involve too many details in the creation myth, which can only become the focus of the other party's complaints.

"Aka awoke from the chaos and found that the world was so empty. He felt as if something was missing in this world, so he instinctively said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light. Acre felt that the light was good and decided to separate the light from the darkness. He called the light day, the darkness night, the morning goes and the evening comes, and this is the first day of the world. ”

Day 1, Day 2, Day 3...... On the seventh day, the sky, the sea, the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, and all living beings were born one after another, and I adapted the creation story from the Bible and told it to Sangeen. Judging from Sangein's satisfied expression, he shouldn't be complained about this time.

"How does it feel?"

"Well," Sangein nodded thoughtfully, "I'd be glad if that was the case." ”

"For what?"

"Aka would even think of setting aside a day for indulgence after six days of tiring, and in that sense, he is clearly my believer!"

Hearing Sangein's braggadocio, I held my forehead with one hand in a helpless gesture. This guy's brain hole has clearly broken through the sky!

……

"But then again, if that was the case at the time, it would have been pretty exciting."

Returning to the main topic, Sangeen summed up the story I told.

"I dare you to watch the creation of the Holy Spirit as a play."

"That's right, we were in the mindset of watching a good show. Anyway, we saw the nature of Lockhan's liar early on, and only those idiots would listen to his rhetoric. ”

"So you think it's a mistake that this world was created?"

"Well, I can't say that," Sangein said, touching the back of his head and feeling a little embarrassed, "I think their actions are very stupid, but the world they have created is quite good, and I can find a lot of fun in it." Wouldn't it be boring to have nothing like it did at the beginning? ”

There is some truth to this. Sangien made the Mortal Realm a paradise for him to find pleasure, the Corrupt Lady used the Mortal Realm as her biological laboratory, and Helsing used the Mortal Realm as a hunting ground...... Probably except for Merunez. In addition to the bitter and vengeful gods of Dagon, the kings of Didra should still be happy to see this world being created.

"Do you know why the mortals of the Dao Dao would name the world they are in ''Nain'?"

Sangeon asked me a question in my thoughts, and I shook my head appropriately to answer it.

"'Arena of the gods,' that's what the word 'Nairn' really means." (To be continued......)
