Episode 98. Let there be light.

‘The Temple… …. There’s no way that’s possible.’

I realized it belatedly.

She knows that the one who has the upper hand in the current battle is none other than her.

She knows that in this moment she is the one who gives her mercy when she doesn’t have to.

“… Only one.”

Still, one person.

The person representing the Inquisitors was trying to face the heretic god without breaking his momentum.

“I will answer just one.”

Unfortunately for him, single, he lacked the power to embody the Halo of the one he served.

No, even if all of Lagrid’s followers gathered, that would be impossible.

The existence they serve is a perfect and absolute being.

“…If you answer that question instead, then I ask you to make your decision. Whether you will move away from the spot or prepare for a crusade.”

Nevertheless, the young light in his body teaches that he is dealing with this situation as before.

What suppressed the fear of death, which even faded insanity, was the feeling of ‘resignation’, not having any attachments to one’s own life.

“I’ll promise you in the name of Heide.”

Because it is infinitely hopeless and extremely dangerous…….

An emotion that is the basis of absolute faith, one that can move forward ignoring everything except what arouses it.

“… Inquisitor Joseph.”

That’s right, it’s an attitude that’s not befitting a priest.

At least that’s how it seems to me, but what brought him to this point?

“Do you believe in miracles?”

Could the current question be the answer to that?

“I believe in you.”

“What is the miracle you believe in?”

“My own existence and everything in the world I perceive… …. I am alive, so everything I came to perceive could be said to be the result of a miracle.”

An unstoppable answer.

The light flowing from its body still illuminates the surroundings.

As if guided by the light, the interrogators gradually relieve their stopped breath.

Then, as the brilliance grew clearer, the shape of the gigantic being that tried to overwhelm them began to blur.

Yes, no matter how godly it is, in the end it’s convenient.

As long as the human power to sustain it is limited, there will be nothing that humans cannot overcome.

“… Just being alive proves a miracle.”

“Yes, so I serve God. If this birth originated from him, it would be inevitable that the end should also be dedicated to him.”

Lagrid. Followers of the saint who died with original sin.

They affirm fear of the unknown, appreciate being alive by having respect for everything in the world, and value everything they feel while living.

A miracle can be said to be tantamount to being proven in itself because you feel your own existence.

“But… …. It is only God’s domain that controls all of that.”

However, just as there is no freedom in birth, wishing for another miracle to be overlaid on that life would be beyond desire and would be called arrogance.

That’s why they don’t have ego in their choices.

The idea of leading something does not exist for a believer who entrusts his heart and life to illusions.

“A miracle is not something that humans can create. All you can do is wait for the miracle to come and be patient. Just as you await the coming of your mortal future, so we await the time of the miracle and keep our faith in him.”

“There will be people who will disappear without seeing the miracle.”

“If there are people who remember those who disappear like that, more people will experience miracles.”

“Like the followers of Lagrid gathered in the name of Yeshua?”

“Yes.”

“The tragedy created by gathering those names… ….”

“That is also a problem that we who worship miracles and wait for miracles must endure and deal with. Aryan is a believer who has sworn to share his fate with us, not with you.”

Ragrid was such an existence.

Unlike Heide, who respects ‘variety’ in life before death, people who have lived different lives gather under one name and pursue the same direction.

From the moment he awakens to his true faith in that organization, his body and mind become solely for the organization, and he never tolerates any action against it.

As if using themselves as parts to move a gigantic device called a group. In the process, broken parts are taken out and replaced with new ones.

‘It looks like an ant. That.’

Although human.

How can the basis be different from a small creature such as an ant?

They looked even more pitiful because such a clear object came to mind.

The crystallization of a collective society that was created over billions of years and was created entirely naturally.

I created a group called religion because I longed for such perfection, but that teaching emphasized that humans were imperfect beings from birth and demanded diligence.

An attitude of entrusting salvation to the future, making even one’s own existence an accessory to that teaching.

Unless I can completely castrate my ego like a small creature, I can’t maintain it perfectly. After following such a policy, all that awaits may be destruction.

‘In this age of peace, what is pushing you so hard?’

I felt sympathy for such a man, but all those questions ended up in mere complaints.

There is only one question allowed.

If you finish it, you were going to perform the scheduled action.

“…Vincent. Please open the way.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, in the first place, it was us who did the wrong thing… …. No, it is because of my own opinion.”

Thinking that all she could do was finish, she quietly put her hands together and recited her prayers.

The moment the curtain that covered the sky disappeared, and the cold rain fell between them again.

It was only then that Joseph raised his glasses and began to move forward.

“Let all but the five in the lead remain here.”

Is there a need to make a fuss in the yard that has been given permission?

While the minimum number of people who received the instructions followed, Joseph, who was standing at the intersection with the saintess, quietly whispered in her ear.

“Sorry to see you late at night.”

“No, I am sorry for the trouble I caused with my self-righteousness.”

I hope that this incident will not cause a rift between Lagrid and Heide.

The heads of the two factions that broke up after exchanging such opinions.

Nevertheless, while the two forces kept each other in check, Vincent stood by the saintess and asked cautiously.

“Saint. Is it okay to let it go like this?”

It’s not okay.

I would be lying if I said that. In the end, it was his own fault, but he let go of the responsibility midway.

So, you yourself will have to take responsibility for everything that happened this time.

“If.”

Even if the person behind this fails.

“If I hadn’t put my hope in the one behind this, I wouldn’t have taken that poor lamb in the first place.”

Nevertheless, I could feel the pounding in the hand that was placed on my chest.

Yes, that was obviously an assumption of expectations.

“And she is also a believer like us… …. There will be no lies in the words that come out of his mouth.”

That judge who was unable to kneel even the fragments of the god of the underworld.

She said that if she was a woman who understood the nobility of life more than anyone else, she might stop it.

***

Just a moment.

The moment he saw the back, Joseph had no choice but to stop his steps for a moment.

-Tududuk, tuk.

Did the sound of water droplets come from outside the window?

Or by the drops of blood dripping from the fingertips hanging down on the bed in the dark room?

In either case, it is impossible to say that any of the things engraved in one’s eyes after arriving at this site are lies.

‘Hidden, cut off.’

Aryan Hayes.

A little bit of the moment I saw her drooping on her bed.

It was a little, but I felt fortunate.

Death is the easiest means for concealment, as he himself, who had held many grand funerals, knew very well.

She felt self-tortured towards him, but she had already walked too many rivers to be tormented by him.

What do you mean when your conscience is stabbed?

This heart, which has already fallen into rags, has long since lost its right to complain of pain.

“Who are you?”

Yes, he has already walked the river of no return, so he will go through it to the end.

I want to go as far as possible without drowning.

“Seine Velvet,”

A woman I met in front of such a road was still intent on hugging her something with her back turned away.

“I am Maris’ health teacher.”

A woman wearing a white gown.

In her voice, she was as tired as herself.

“Oh, I see.”

I think of them when I see the white gown on her body.

Kleas. Even though they were believers, they would wear white gowns to prove that they were doctors.

Perhaps she is the ‘only doctor’ staying in this city. In this place where countless religious people gather, she doesn’t really feel the need for something to replace the divine power.

“…Seine Velvet. I earnestly ask you.”

But, saintess.

Is this the hope you have?

“Back… …. Can you give it back?”

No matter how rare her powers are, they are human after all.

It’s just as foolish as expecting a miracle to hope for the unexpected, the unknown.

“Show me what you have in your arms.”

So unlike her, Joseph had no hope for the person in front of her.

She just does her duty.

If they step aside, they will finish their work and go back.

“…… Light”

Even at that moment, her gaze was directed out of the window, in the direction she was looking.

The rain is gradually ending.

The moment when dawn begins to break after a long dawn.

“Let there be light.”

At the words he spat out while engraving them in his eyes, Joseph realized that his steps had stopped before he knew it.

Genesis.

The moment I heard the monumental sentence announcing the beginning of the world.

“Then light arose in the world.”

Starting from that time.

The light of dawn rising on the horizon outside the window slowly began to illuminate the spot where they were standing.

“… Mr. Inquisitor.”

Even in the midst of that, a woman stares at the early morning sunlight outside the window with her mouth open.

She didn’t turn her head to her calling, but even so, Joseph couldn’t interfere with her in any way.

“Do you know the verse that follows?”

What came out of her mouth at this moment was what could be called the basis of the teachings they follow.

From the moment he said it, it was as if the other person had become a ‘person to be respected’ from their point of view.

“Bishop. That woman…….”

From noble mtl dot com

“The earth and sky were illuminated by that light, and it was only at that time that the concept of the world arose in the place where the Lord’s hand touched.”

Joseph raises his hand in front of the interrogators who are trying to dissuade him.

After that, he took the lead and gave the answer to the woman’s question with his back turned.

“The Lord, who liked to see it, separated the light from the darkness, and called the day when the light came on and the moment when darkness came on as night.”

Yes, there was no way I could back off.

Referring to the beginning of the world even though they do not belong to the religious order itself means that they respect their doctrine.

“God gives feathers to the sky, fins to the water that touches it, and life covered with hairs to the earth… But all of that is just a part of the paradise where one’s alter ego lives. Earth As soon as life was put into the doll, which was created by making a doll, the body began to move, but the Lord, who felt love for him, gave him a name (Adam).”

Those who are respected deserve respect.

That policy, newly established in the era of peace, must be adhered to even in order to prove that Lagrid is reflecting on his history of corruption.

“And the Lord feared that he would be lonely, so he created a woman (Eve) through his rib, but the man was ignorantly deceived by the cunning serpent and violated the taboo…”

“The Lord, who was angry with him, banished Adam from paradise, giving Adam eternal labor and Eve the punishment of conception.”

A sentence that immediately returns to such a response.

Starting with that, the two men and women who stood here began to look back on the birth of the world, putting off the scheduled conflict.

“Starting with that, the descendants of those who harbored the original sin began to spread throughout the world.”

“So don’t be afraid of sin, you’re a lamb. Even if you pray to heaven, do not regard it as an absolution.”

Let there be light.

At the center of the world that began with those words.
