Chapter 44: The Return
"Please don't be so ruthless, Mr. Magellan. β
It was a man who suddenly appeared in front of Magellan, he had the same appearance as Magellan, but with a completely different temperament.
"After all, I've been with you for so long, even if you can't sense my soul, you've been saved countless times by my power. β
"Pay attention to your wording, although I have long known the One Most High God, your habit of lying does not mean that I have allowed you to lie to me. β
That man was the scientific fragment of Magellan's body, the last part of the one supreme god, and it had penetrated deeply into Magellan's soul.
"Watch your wording, Monsieur Magellan, even if you are not mortal, no god would dare to speak to me like that. β
"You're basically the stinky water at the bottom of the garbage heap, dirtier than most garbage. β
After Magellan said it, he suddenly felt that such a quarrel was childish and ridiculous, but it didn't matter if he thought about it, no one else saw it anyway.
"Sadly, it's because of me that you're alive until now," Science smiled and spread his hands, "there's irrefutable evidence in front of me, and when I leave, you're going to die." β
"I'm not surprised that something like you would say murder is salvation. β
Magellan raised his right hand as he spoke, he was already bored, and although he didn't know what was going on here, he didn't want to see this chattering god again.
But science hasn't gone away.
"You don't know anything about the soul, mortal, and you think willpower can do it all? β
Science laughed as he spoke, and then the laughter stopped abruptly.
He disappeared.
Magellan turned and looked at the deep, endless sea.
This is the depths of his soul, so barren, the sea is like ink, the sky is like a cover, and there are only ruins on the earth.
Magellan smiled self-deprecatingly, he had thought that he should have a stronger, more beautiful soul.
"I always want to see through your soul, but definitely not at such a time. β
"Athena?"
Magellan was a little surprised, but understood everything in an instant.
"Is parasitism in the souls of mortals a hobby of all gods?"
"There's no time to waste now, science tears your soul apart when it leaves, and you're going to die. β
Magellan nodded.
"Do something, Magellan, you are our hope, all our gods gave up everything to get the precious gift, you must live!" Athena stood in front of Magellan, one hand clasping his shoulder, the other pointing to the ruins everywhere, "Look in the depths of your soul, there are miracles everywhere, do you see?" That sloping huge building, even the largest temple of science in the whole world is not so tall, you may be born ordinary, but you have the most shining soul, otherwise why would there be two gods lodged on you?"
"Of course I'll live, and who says science can kill me?"
Athena laughed.
"You should have looked at the look on your face when you looked at the land. β
"What?"
"Your melancholy look makes me think you want to fall into the sea and never come back. β
Magellan was speechless for a moment, he turned his face to look at the ruins, ready to say something to ease the embarrassment.
"Are those ruins remarkable?"
"Are those just ruins?"
Athena's face was full of exclamation: "I really want to see what they look like when they are not ruins." β
Magellan hesitated and raised his right hand.
Something was heard in the distance.
The clouds in the sky began to flow, and it was only then that the shadows in the sky became like clouds, and a pale blue appeared in the middle of the dim clouds, and then the contrast between light and darkness became clear.
The distant sound of the tide was indistinct and almost gone, replaced by the sound of sand flowing from the ground around it.
The sloping ruins are slowly recovering, and the gravel covered on them is pouring down like flowing water, like countless waterfalls, and the light from the zenith falls, illuminating the clear division between light and dark on the waterfalls.
Magellan watched the ruins gradually change, and what appeared in front of him was a forest of steel and concrete, which made his heart flood with memories of the past.
Then Magellan lowered his right hand.
The world is silent again.
The sky was filled with clouds, and in the middle of the white clouds was a divided blue sky, with the occasional sun falling on the blue-gray buildings.
The tall ruins stood above the desert, revealing the original appearance of the building, full of hollows, like a giant beehive.
"Is that the abode of the gods?"
"It was the abode of mortals. β
Magellan looked at the look of surprise on Athena's face and laughed.
"Thank you. β
"What?"
"It's time for me to go back, something has to be done. β
......
The three supreme gods live like years.
They could clearly feel that the great power of another god was leaving the mortal body, and that was the true purpose of the ascetic, her sacrifice to restore the power that had been taken away from a powerful god to its rightful owner.
The prophesied calamity was imminent, and the power of the god was unsettling, and for the first time, the three supreme gods felt that everything was out of control.
"Your worries are meaningless, all the calamities and ugliness of this world will be completely dissipated today, and the age of light and purity has come. β
The ascetic looked at the three great gods with pity, and her gaze made the Supreme God angry.
But they can't do anything.
When a powerful god withdraws his power, his followers can naturally be confident that there will be no more calamities and sufferings in the world, but to another god, that is meaningless.
In some cases, it can even represent disaster.
"Tell me, saint, who is your god?"
"The science of omniscience. β
Shiva smiled sarcastically, the adjective "omniscient and omnipotent" was so arrogant that even the three supreme gods would not describe themselves in this way.
"What land does his followers own? β
"There is no point in asking questions, and soon the Messiah will come, and everything in the new world will be in the light. β
Dantès inhaled deeply and looked up at the three bright stars in the sky through the gap between the canopies.
The three supreme gods looked at each other.
I don't know how long ago, so long that people forget the time, the three supreme gods once met a god from outside, and she mentioned a conjecture to the three gods: in the future, there will be a god who will reshape the world, and he will be the only master of the new world.
This saint, the ally of the three supreme gods, had never mentioned this before.
"Remarkable. β
