Chapter 34: You Are Science Too
"You've been to where they picked up mushrooms, haven't you?" said Science without waiting for Magellan's reply, "it was another accident that almost killed me completely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoI never thought there would be such a ...... in the world Things, existence, it made everyone in exile forget everything, fell into hallucinations, I lost all my followers almost instantly, my consciousness was ruined by the continuous prayers, and in the chaos I even thought I saw the old gods. ”
"Can gods be controlled by illusions too?"
"At least then I felt ruined by hallucinations...... Until Moses found me. He was different from everyone else in the world, and I don't know if it was an accident or a necessity, and Moses saw me, and he thought I was an old god. At that moment, through his eyes, I saw my future. ”
"You think you're an old god?"
In the eyes of Moses at that moment, yes. Then came the covenant, and people who had just woken up from their hallucinations thought that Moses had won power for them, but in fact he had won me a chance to live. ”
Magellan knew about the so-called "Covenant", the most important event of the Great Exodus, in which Science made a sacred covenant with the Jews, promising them a seat in heaven after the end of the world.
"The turbulent hallucinations distilled the part of human cognition about the Old Gods, imposed on me, and almost tore me apart. But at least after the covenant, faith sustained me. It's just that I didn't expect that Moses died. ”
At that moment, the churning pillar of clouds stopped, and this majestic scene turned into an ordinary silence.
"He took everything from me. The successor prophet continued to flee and succeeded in finding a place to live, and Moses and I were still planning to do so, but I knew that there was no hope for me. ”
The people of Judah who returned home experienced a period of tranquility and established a strong nation, but soon declined, and their descendants fell back into wandering, and there is no hope of returning home. This is the history that Magellan knew, but he does not understand why science was so early and completely desperate.
"Why?"
Only Moses knew what we were after, and the slightest deviation in our understanding of the Old Gods would ruin our plans completely...... Everything was as I expected, completely into the worst possibility, although they still believed in me after the loss of the king, but it was only to delay the end of the world, the existence of the ancient gods itself is the end of the gods, and I will not escape death. ”
"And then? You survived to the one who came along with science and made it through?"
A wry smile came from the cloud pillar: "There are countless coincidences in the world, but this one is not. As I expected, the bias in the perception of the Old Gods led to very terrible results, I was torn apart by faith, the science of the other born Old Gods was entangled with me, and the only good news was that my death was also his end. That poor mortal, his birth was the work of the ancient gods. ”
"Well, it's pitiful, even the birth was arranged. ”
"In fact, almost all mortals in the world have fallen into tragedy because of unarranged births, and it seems a bit cynical to say that. ”
"And then?" Magellan bypassed the question, his disagreement with the world would never go away, such arguments were merely daily, "his plan was very successful. ”
"No, it was a complete failure. The real problem is not the consumption of divine power, but the diversion of divinity and the chaos that comes with it. Although the weakness of the ancient gods and sciences has greatly eased my stress, it is a fine wine mixed with poison, and my time is running out. ”
Magellan waited patiently for what happened next, and he had not forgotten what had entangled him with the Holy See. Science beautifully pulled off a reversal and saved himself, and on the path to godhood, at least for a moment Magellan was on his side.
"I squandered my divine power almost in desperation, and got by before the doomed apocalypse, and that mortal science had a pure heart, and I let all his wishes come true. The result was doomed from the beginning, and the fall out between this good man and the Iseliyah further confused the beliefs that determined what I was, and I was like a fool who committed suicide by jumping into the water, begging mercy to see himself suffocating. ”
"But an accident happened again?" Magellan remembered the old man named Paul when he asked the question.
"yes, it wasn't actually an accident, I was just...... Didn't think of it. You see, this is the truth that everyone knows, that a really good person will always attract more good people to help him, and among them there will be all the truly transcendent. The man named Paul, in my eyes, had a soul as brilliant as a god, and for a long time I wondered if any god could find a mortal like that in this crazy way......"
"No god would do that. ”
"Yes, you see, that's why I won't be mad at your contempt for the gods. In any case, I succeeded, Emperor Loren, and in order to concentrate the power of the Empire, he killed the gods who were slaying on their breath, leaving me to be the sole master in a gesture of emptiness. There is no doubt that the emperor had his own ideas, but no one knew that the old gods were truly born from this. ”
"The One Supreme God, the Lord of the World and the Only Salvation, Science. I've always had a question," Magellan looked at the pillar of clouds, and countless questions flashed through his mind, "for you, what is science, the only salvation in this world?"
"My firstborn, my brother, myself, my salvation and destiny. ”
"For the Old Gods, can you still divide it?"
"Ah, if he had become an Old God, it would have been impossible to be divided, but right now, he has not become an Old God. ”
"When he takes something from me, he becomes an old god?"
"Divinity, no, that would make the science of the Old Gods complete, but there is the final and most important step in becoming the Old Gods, allowing the future to come. ”
"Doomsday?"
"Yes, the eternal future of the Old Gods will not come before the end of this world, and that is why there will only be one Old God. ”
Magellan let out a long sigh: "I see, thank you." ”
"Don't say that, you're also science. ”
The waves in the cloud pillar are surging, and the light is infinite.
"I have to go. ”
"No," the white clouds swept towards the top of the mountain, "no. ”
