Symbolism is the instinct of human beings, their natural way of being.

When this thought flashed through the mind of science, it became clear to the gods once again that he was under Magellan's influence.

He was buried deep in the soul of this mortal, after a period of time.

Although that time was incomparably short for the eternity enjoyed by the gods, when the vast majority of the power of science was used against a strange and powerful force, the core stripped from the omniscient and all-powerful god was something resembling a soul that had been heavily influenced by Magellan's soul.

That's why science exists where it is now.

Human beings always have to connect something complex and abstract to something simple and concrete, and make it easy to understand, like tying a balloon to a tree branch that is about to fly away.

That process is symbolism.

The building in front of the eyes of science is a prime example.

Metal, that's what the monster prefers, it's something that is everywhere where it was born, it represents self-definition.

Then there are the enclosed buildings, which represent guarding secrets.

Finally, there is the staircase that descends at the countess's feet, representing the path to the core, and at the end of the staircase is the safest place in the monster's heart.

There will be something that science wants to find.

This is a typical Magellian idea, a chain of logic, science doesn't feel anything wrong for the time being, he doesn't mind being like a mortal.

Since this thought can lead him to the answer.

Finally, at the end of the staircase, the countess stopped in front of science and got out of the way.

The god was amazed to see that in front of him was an elegant and noble lady.

She was almost the countess's twin sister, except that the lady was a light metallic color and had stunning blue eyes.

"I've finally seen you. ”

"Yes, science. ”

......

Magellan and Saul on the opposite side are engaged in a desperate battle.

It wasn't like facing any foe he'd ever seen, the opponent in front of him wasn't much better than him, but Magellan had no confidence at all.

Because he was confronted with himself.

It was another Magellan who knew Magellan's weaknesses, habits, ways of thinking, and at the same time possessed Magellan's will.

One may be able to defeat anyone, but it is difficult to overcome oneself.

Magellan is facing a storm of despair.

He fought a pure battle with his opponent at the speed of a mortal, without magic, without divine power, without trickery and calculation, with pure strength and reflexes.

The fists and feet collided in the air with the sound of the wind, and before the sound dissipated, another collision sounded again, and the sound of the blow was like a strange buzz.

Again and again, Magellan slammed his fist into the face of the god of thunder in front of him, but his opponent would always dodge or stop, his face tense, and his eyes were pure concentration, as if he was not looking at Magellan at all, but at a certain point in the void.

Magellan felt infected.

He was really focused and nervous.

Thor, who had actually become Magellan, was attacking with all his might, dodging, counter-attacking, nimble but steady at his pace, not wasting a single ounce of strength, aware and well prepared.

Just imagining, Magellan knew that his opponent had come to terms with reality: the fight might last until the end of the world, he had no hope of winning, and all he could do now was to do what he could.

The same is true of Magellan's heart.

He was sure that it would be a battle that would last until one side collapsed, and there was no chance of recovery from death.

Because if either side loses, his will will will be completely crushed.

Thor, the god of thunder, has left after teaching Magellan the true way of this test, leaving only this copy of Magellan, a truly difficult test.

"I have come to terms with my soul. ”

Magellan tried to convince himself, but he failed.

The most difficult person for human beings to forgive is always themselves.

Therefore, he could not accept losing to himself, losing to this skin with Saul, who was actually Magellan's opponent.

It was probably a battle that "Magellan" would never win, and his heart was full of despair.

Some terrifying will still be willing to sustain him, Magellan, a dead mortal soul, to continue the fight.

That's not a sense of honor, it's not a sense of mission.

It's just plain unwillingness.

"Trash!"

He roared and sent the right side of his face under his opponent's fist, then knocked the strong god flying.

It was a terrifying punch, right in the lower abdomen, extremely ferocious, bringing a stinging pain that could not be ignored, and Sollang staggered back, clutching his stomach and coughing.

Then the god of thunder laughed: "Yes, garbage!"

Magellan rushed forward, knowing that speaking in battle was extremely stupid, not only wasting energy, but also distracting and disrupting the rhythm of breathing.

Every single one of these things is fatal.

But the god was still talking, and he was even laughing.

"You treat any mortal and god equally, but you treat one named Magellan so harshly that you think he's a ...... of garbage"

Thor laughed, barely able to speak.

Magellan kicked it in.

The gods dodged the attack and fought back nimbly, barely giving Magellan any time to react.

He was punched in the flank, and Magellan could clearly hear the sound of his ribs breaking.

"I'm a copy of you, and if you take me for you, you're making a mistake. ”

Magellan gritted his teeth and moved his left arm, which had lost sensation in severe pain, like a carriage stuck in the mud, which was difficult at first, but became easier when it succeeded.

But it didn't help.

Thor already possessed Magellan's insight and acumen, and he was well aware of the weaknesses of this mortal's defense.

The second shot left Magellan almost completely unconscious.

The sharp pain at the wound almost made the left half of his body completely lose control, and the pain in the spirit world was no different from reality, and even clearer.

Magellan easily allowed himself to become angry, but unfortunately, his body no longer produced adrenaline, so the sharp pain of the wound was not relieved at all.

And because of unnecessary emotions, he once again showed a flaw in front of Thor, and there was an extra bruise on his calf.

"The mistake you made is, I didn't make any of the mistakes you made, I'm a clean person. ”

The God of Thunder turned words into razor-sharp weapons, and both he and his opponents moved beyond the limits of humans, but the gods were noticeably more adept.

"Behavior defines personality. ”
