Chapter 478: I Am the One and Only Father
"This Saga is really good enough. Link said secretly in his heart, and then a thought came out, "Shaga, then do you know that Sachar is no longer the person he used to be." β
"I know, but, so what?"
"And what......?
"Zachar's actions were crazy, but they were also a mortal's rebellion against the gods. From a mortal point of view, there was nothing wrong with what he was doing. β
β...... Are you unhappy with me?"
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but I feel that it's meaningless. In the name of God the Father, you have brought peace and prosperity to many people, but you have also left many homeless and many lives extinct. You say that God the Father is loving to all things, but I don't see that you give equal love to all things. To this day, many people are still starving and cold, and many more have been wiped out because of your actions. I believe in you, but I don't agree with what you do, you and my teachers used to be the guiding light for me, but now I find that what you do does not show me the way. β
"In other words, you're not going to work for me?"
"If you can't give me a reason to work for you. β
Link couldn't help but have a headache, this Saga is not only a personality god, but also a god-like behavior, and he actually has to give a reason to help.
Thinking of this, Link said in a deep voice, "Your teacher Ashmida is now trapped in the labyrinth of the gods, aren't you going to help her?"
"Although the labyrinth of the gods is very powerful, it can't trap the teacher, and at most the teacher can only stay in it for a year or two. And after a year or two, the general trend has been decided, whether Saga succeeds or fails, there are already results, and the teacher no longer has to risk his life to enter the zodiac. β
The implication is that Saga feels that it is safer for Ashmida to stay in the labyrinth of the gods than to continue on the road, which is also his way of repaying Ashmida's kindness for his education.
β...... Shaga, I have to say. You are really suitable to be a Virgo Gold Saint Seiya, and it is estimated that it will not be long before you can surpass your teacher. β
"Is that your compliment?"
"You can think of it as yes. After a pause, Link decided to convince Shaga with great righteousness, "Shajia, do you know that in a dozen hours, the law of the Holy Throne will collapse. At that time, the Holy Spirit of the heavens will return to the mortal world, which will be a great calamity for mortals. Do you want to watch this happen?"
Shaga replied in a calm tone, "If all beings are suffering, if a disaster is unavoidable, death is the greatest blessing and mercy for mortals living in suffering. β
β...... I really want to beat you up. Link was extremely dissatisfied with Saga's words, and suddenly stopped, and said in a majestic tone, "Saga, I don't know what the artistic conception you comprehend is, but I want to say it. You're nowhere near me. What I carry is the hope of all believers, and the principle that I am a god. It is to give my believers fair treatment. That's what I decided, and that's what I did, Shah, since you said you could communicate with heaven and earth. Then I ask you, is there any difference between my Shinto and what I have done?"
β...... You said it. ...... to all living beings"
Link interrupted Shaga, "Yes, I said so, and it is written in the teachings. But, if you believe in me, why should I give divine grace to those who don't even believe in me? Shaga, will you lend a helping hand to a group of people who have never heard or seen it?"
β...... No, but since you're a god......"
Link interrupted Shaga again: "Yes, that's why I'm doing this because I'm a god. Because God is fair, and I have said in my doctrine, I am fair, and mortals and I are also equal beings. The believer gives his faith, and I, as God, give the favor in return for faith, and this is the principle of equivalent exchange!
"......" Saga was speechless, because Link did.
Yes, fair and equivalent exchange, this has been said in the teachings and has been mentioned again and again before.
At first, everyone thought that this was just a rule given by God the Father to mortals, so that believers should live in a fair and just way, but who would have thought that this was also the rule that Link gave himself!
Believers contribute their faith to benefit Link, Link will not take this faith in vain, he will also give believers in return! This is his self-shackles in order to prevent himself from forgetting his original intention because of the improvement of his strength, and it is also his hole card that can make believers understand his painstaking efforts when revealing his true identity.
Now, Link is showing that hole card.
Shaga confronted Link's words, unconsciously recalling Link's legend and everything the Father God taught, and finally said in a reverent tone, "As you said, you do have a fair deal with believers. However, that doesn't seem to match who you are as a god, does it?"
"Then let me ask you, what is God? As the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit, you should know very well what God is, right?"
"......" Shaga was silent.
Link didn't care, and continued to himself: "God is noble and arrogant, and God doesn't need to care about the life and death of mortals, because they think they are above all else, and mortals and sentient beings are just ants. β
Sha Ga was silent for a long time and said, "Yes, God is such an existence. β
The next moment, Link said in a cold voice, "So, they are not worthy of the name of God the Father!" After a pause, his voice became more and more majestic, "Therefore, I am the God of the Father, because I am high and have never despised all beings, and I give all beings equal opportunities and trade fairly with all beings on an equal footing. Their faith in exchange for my favor, their allegiance in exchange for my blessings, their giving in exchange for my protection of them. All these are the same as those written in the doctrine. At the same time, I also have the majesty of being a god, and I will give the harshest punishment to those who blaspheme my divine power. But, in the midst of the punishment, I have also given all living beings the opportunity to atone for their sins, and the only question is whether they will accept it, whether they will find this opportunityβShah, I ask you, is there a god in this world who is more worthy of the name of the Father than I am?"
Saga was silent again, and after this silence, he bowed respectfully with his hands folded in the air, "You are a very special god, but at the same time a great god. There is nothing in your words, and I apologize to you for what I thought of you before. After a pause, he added, "However, with my current strength, I cannot defeat Zachar's, his strength has far surpassed the others, and now in the Father's Religion, only my teacher, Ashmida, can be his opponent." β
Another implication of this statement is that Saga is willing to pledge allegiance to Link. Although he did not say it explicitly, the respectfulness and gesture in his tone represented his allegiance.
Link knows this, and he also understands that Sachar's current strength is still comparable to Sachar, the strongest golden saint is not blown out, Saga is now a man with the title of God incarnation, and the only one who can compete with Saga is only Ashmida, who is closest to God.
Immediately, Link said, "Don't worry, I didn't expect you to be able to knock Saga down." I just need your help to bring Ashamida out of the labyrinth of the gods. β
Hearing this, Sha Jia said, "Your Majesty, I don't think I have that kind of power, although I can connect with the teacher through the small universe of the Virgo Gold Saint Seiya, but if I want to bring the teacher back." But I couldn't do anything about it. β
"I know, so I'll help, you just need to connect with Ashmida, Holy Majesty. It's up to me to do it. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. "Right now, Saga began to burn the small universe. And resonate with the Virgo Golden Vestment, which also exudes great power.
This power traveled through time and space, reaching the labyrinth of gods hidden in another dimension, and Ashmida felt this power.
"It's ...... Is it the Virgo Golden Vestment?Is it Shaga?" Ashmida was shocked, and immediately burned the small universe, trying to establish a connection with the power that had been transmitted.
It's just that the two sides are separated by two spaces after all, and it's not so easy to succeed, and they failed the first few times.
After successfully establishing contact, Sajia's voice immediately reached Ashmida's head: "Teacher, are you okay?"
"Shaga, it's you. Ashmida was pleasantly surprised, and then said, "Aren't you the Virgo Gold Saint Seiya named by Saga now, what is the matter with me?"
For this disciple, Ashmida's emotions are still quite complicated, on the one hand, she is happy for Shaga's growth, and on the other hand, she is also entangled for Shakya to accept Sachar's reward, she has not seen her for a few years, although she has communicated with this disciple from time to time, but she is becoming more and more unable to see through this disciple.
In terms of the perception of the supreme truth of heaven and earth, Shakya, as the reincarnation of the Holy Spirit, has surpassed Ashamida. is also a Virgo Gold Saint Seiya, and Ashmida knows very well that the deeper his understanding of heaven and earth, the more unpredictable it will be.
In fact, if Ashmida hadn't had an obsession with Link in his heart, it is estimated that he would have surpassed everyone in the perception of the supreme principles of heaven and earth, even Shaga could not compare to her.
Faced with Ashmida's question, Shaga said slowly, "Teacher, I have communicated with His Majesty Father, and I have decided to pledge allegiance to His Majesty. β
"Father, can you communicate with Father?" Ashmida was amazed, she couldn't do such a thing.
"It's not that I can, but His Majesty took the initiative to communicate with me. After communicating with him, I realized that my understanding of His Majesty was too superficial before, and at the same time, I also understood that he was indeed unique compared to other gods, and that he was worthy of the name of God the Father. Saga made no secret of his admiration for Link, and said at the end, "Teacher, the Holy Father is the Holy Pope, and the identity of Neil Night is the mortal incarnation of the Holy One. β
"His Majesty Neil...... Is it the Father?" This information was tantamount to a nuclear explosion to Ashmida, which made her stunned directly, and after a long while, she came to her senses and muttered in a tone of sudden realization, "I see, so it is, the unanswerable information I learned from communicating with heaven and earth before, did it refer to this?"
As another person who can communicate with heaven and earth, Ashmida naturally got a lot of information from heaven and earth, but because of the obsession in his heart, he couldn't understand those meanings, so he couldn't guess the truth like Shaga.
Now I know that Ashmida's mind has become very complicated, but in the end, it has turned into relief and relaxation: "If this is the case, then I can finally let go of the burden in my heart." β
As soon as the words landed, Ashmida's faith level finally changed from a high-level believer to a god believer like other Golden Saint Seiyas. (To be continued......)
