The World of Masks

"You're not kidding, are you?"

My lips twitched unconsciously every time I spoke. An old man who's stuck in a pile of images of people going to hell and dragging them down, introduces himself as an angel. It was like a hippocampus, and I was surprised to think the giraffe was an elephant.

"Well, are you surprised that I'm an angel?"

The old woman asked the silver-haired beauty who was still standing beside her. A little awkwardness passes over her face, just standing there with a expressionless face. Beauty can be a picture no matter what. I tried hard to resist the unconscious whistle.

Perhaps the old man felt her distress. He turns his head again with a shy look on his face.

"That's a surprise."

"Because you've done things so far. Well, there could be an inversion that it was all for the world, right?"

"Hmm, something like that."

Are you sure? I was surprised by this remark. Could it really have been the dark knights running around trying to save the world, ruining their image and inciting themselves to disguise themselves? But the idea of authenticity was a little off. in a bad way for people on Earth.

"It was for the world I manage, to be exact."

"A world in a mask world?"

"That's right."

"What about Earth?"

The old man shrugs.

"Is that my problem?"

"Are you an angel?"

"So I'm not an angel of the world."

The old man shakes his hand like a nuisance.

"Well, let me summarize what I've said so far. I'm not included if you take the name Angel and narrow it down to" winged flies "in the Christian Bible."

A flying fly with wings. If a Christian had heard of it, he would have dipped his knee in that face right now. But fortunately or unfortunately, there were no Christians here. Even Sophie from Europe, a Christian territory, was not a Christian.

"But if you think of me as an angel, literally an angel of heaven, or an angel of God, then I am definitely an angel."

"Then · · · · · · · · · · · ·."

"Yes, I was born of God for the administration of the world."

Jinseok swallowed the sob. I knew you weren't just a bunch of old people, but I didn't think you were born by God.

"Let's start with a step-by-step explanation."

The old man began to explain with a voice that was good to hear.

The story goes back to the beginning.

The old man said, the world was created by gods.

"Something very fancy."

"This game is a fantasy to you anyway. Something new. Don't hang up now."

The old man continued to explain as he shot at the stone.

The twelve gods, who were at the forefront of Ueron, created a world that created all matter and life. And I began to change it. Each of the sacred neutral cities was created and the humans were polished.

In the care of the gods, the world has made progress. But gradually, clouds began to pour down on the prosperity of the world that I thought would last forever.

"Do you know why?"

I shook my head at the old man's question.

"Simple. Because of the gods."

"The gods."

"Yes, gods. Like most of the only gods in the world, the gods themselves were perfect, and the gods that took care of humans went back to the world without a hitch, but they were different. I felt joy, joy, etc., and I was honest with desire. He was no different from the humans who possessed immense mental strength and transcendent power. In a way, they're like the gods in Greek Roman mythology."

Jinsuk remembered the gods of Greek mythology that he had read when he was a child. · · · · · · · · · If there are similar beings to gods who are not gods, which are full of complaints to those humans.

"You don't want to serve a god."

I meant it.

"Well, I agree. Anyway, the gods felt free. Killing time and observing the world they've created, two days a day, that exploded thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years later. Eventually, one god couldn't stand the boredom and intervened in the human world."

That was the beginning of all misconduct. It was okay to observe small and delicate creatures, but it was much more fun to cry, laugh, and talk with them. The first god to descend into the world was extremely satisfied, which soon led to the world coming of other gods. Since then, it has been an era of chaos. The gods sometimes came down in their nature to be worshipped, mixed with humans to be heroes, and even slaughtered and became villains. In the meantime, an enormous number of human beings have suffered from death, but the gods have not stopped acting because they are blinded by the newly discovered jokes.

"That won't be a problem. But the problem is pride started to get in the way of that joke."

The pranks of the gods gradually overheated. I pursued something stronger, more glamorous, and more virtuous than any other god. Moreover, it did not obstruct the means and methods. The war between the gods was finally sparked.

"But that doesn't mean we have to live to fight. Most of them fought head-on with Humans, and even if they did, it was just a prank. Even if it heated up a little, it was like a fight in the world."

However, the standards were the standards of the gods. What happens when shrimp get into a whale fight? The perfect answer to that question was the test subject at the time. Even though it was no more than a prank and a petty quarrel between the gods, the aftermath of it hit the creatures and the world itself began to crumble. For a while, the gods, who didn't even know time to play, noticed the state of the world. But I didn't take it seriously. And I had the ability to see it that way.

"It's the world they created anyway. It wasn't about repairing."

So many years have passed. The gods played around in the human world excitedly, repairing the world if they wanted it to be dangerous, and repairing the world again.

But the gods have begun to bother repairing the world. They just wanted to continue to fulfill their desires.

"That's why I was born."

Who will take care of the world on behalf of the gods. In short, he was going to do a hurdlet to repair the world for the gods. It wasn't like the gods had created a new existence. They planted their will in the world, thinking they were the best judge of their work.

"So you're the world?"

"Why, don't you believe me?"

The old man grins.

"No. It doesn't matter to me whether you're an angel or a demon or the world."

It is the same that you are not able to oppose it as a genuine person. There was nothing inconspicuous about that identity.

Whether he liked the answer of Jin or not, the old man laughed and continued to say.

The old man, the world, followed the duties of the gods. At first, we maintained the world through little repairs. At first, the power of the world was not very strong because the gods only wanted the existence of compassion. However, the play of the gods became increasingly intensified, and the world's power became increasingly difficult to repair itself. Therefore, the gods gradually strengthened the world's power and power. Finally, the world was given tremendous power to meet God. This was enough. The gods were more dedicated to play.

If the world had a different mind, even the gods were given dangerously powerful powers, but they didn't worry about that at all. The reason the will of the world was born was solely for the repair of the world, its own preservation. There was no other desire. I made it so I thought it would be okay to exert a tremendous amount of strength.

"But that was a mistake."

The old man raises his mouth in ridicule. His eyes, as if they were looking down on foolish fools, represented his heart.

With the enormous power vested in the gods, the world has fulfilled its mission in good faith. The gods were also more frenzied and agitated, based on the world being faithful to its work.

"Finally, the limit has come."

The old man mourns.

"If the creature was slaughtered and the world fell, it wouldn't have been that bad for me or the gods. For example, you, what would happen if there was a nuclear war on Earth?"

"The world will perish."

Humanity was the most feared and most likely to destroy the world.

"Yeah, you'd think so. But isn't the word" apocalypse "a little obscure? Even if all the nuclear bombs on Earth are used in the aftermath of a nuclear war, the planet will remain intact. It's just a part of the surface that burns. Many lives will be lost, but there will be survivors. If you think about it, it's precisely the outcome of the nuclear war, not the end of the world."

"That's what it would look like."

"Something like that. No matter how messed up the world gets, the gods and I can handle it pretty easily. But these gods are getting out of hand."

I felt a deep resentment from the old man's speech.

"They've begun to touch the origins of the world. At best, it's a competitive" prank. "It's like when you go over the mantle to win a war and you start touching the core of the Earth."

What happens if you mess with the Earth's core? The truth that had no interest in Earth science did not know exactly what would happen. But it will never be good for Earth. No, it's going to be a huge crisis. In that way, the absurd 'prank' of the gods was too much.

"Perhaps the gods thought it would be enough to recreate the world after it was destroyed. But I'm different. In fact, the world is who I am, and what I have been commanded by the gods is the preservation of this world as it is today. That's why I had to make a final decision to save the world."

The old man smiles coldly. Jinsuk remembered the verse he saw in the old Demon King's diary. The phrase, "There is no God in this world."

"You attacked, God."

The old man laughed and said.

"I was just following orders."
