I don’t know what it means, but it was a special message given by the master in the hope that a smart student would be able to get something out of it.
-The god you believe in and follow originates from my will, and your life and death originate from my hands. It is I who coordinates and leads this world. I am man and at the same time God.
Yes. Sayer didn’t lie.
He clearly created the gods and goddesses, all the ‘people’ of the continent, and all the ‘presents’ of the continent. And although he was clearly a man, he possessed the power of a god.
“… … “It’s definitely not a lie, but you exaggerated it a bit.”
Leffenhardt chuckled.
“Can’t you buy something, hit it hard, and then die and take what you have recovered and act like the creator of the world? “You’re so shameless, aren’t you?”
But Leffenhardt’s laughing face was still frozen. No matter how much I laughed at Sayer and relaxed, what I had seen so far was too great.
“Divinity, Akashic… … God’s power… … .”
Divinity, it was a power that even Reppenhardt in his previous life only barely felt its existence in his later years. At the time, I felt quite proud of walking an untrodden path that no one had taken before.
However, the ancient people of the Silver Age had already fully obtained that power. I painfully felt how insignificant I was, even though I prided myself on being a genius among geniuses.
Also, his enemy is already freely manipulating the power of that god. In front of such a huge wall, I can only sigh and come out again.
“Whoa… … .”
Meanwhile, the history of construction and construction was flowing out in fragments from all directions.
Sayer, who opened his eyes after a thousand years, moved his residence, the Cosmic Egg, to the frozen northern pole to avoid the hands of mankind. And in that, he used his power for humanity in his own way. He passed on knowledge and wisdom to mankind little by little, and also reaped the excessive legacy of ancient civilizations when they were in human hands.
It was too much for him to do all this alone, so he chose a few clever people to become his apostles. As a result, the Silver Sage appeared in the world. Due to their influence, Sayer’s existence spread out into the world, and before he knew it, he came to be regarded as a god who protects humanity like the twelve gods on earth. Naturally, a church that served Sayer, the god of humanity, also appeared in the world.
Sayer felt awkward at first when he saw humanity worshiping him as a god. But isn’t it all about adapting? As time passed, humanity’s prayers were naturally accepted. Like other Akashic systems beyond the dimension, that is, gods and goddesses, part of Akashic was dedicated to them and bestowed ‘miracles’ on them.
As this happened, Sayer’s attitude towards elves, dwarves, orcs, and trolls also changed little by little.
At first, Sayer wasn’t hostile to them either. He rather felt guilty and tried to take care of them along with humanity.
But there was nothing to do.
Elves and dwarves, who had a civilization far superior to that of humans, were living well without Sayre. Even the Orcs and Trolls, whose physical condition was superior to that of humans, did not need his help. Only mankind worshiped him as a god and sought his help.
Sayer’s consciousness gradually changed as he received the service of his own people and their descendants. Suddenly, he became a god ‘only for mankind’.
Time passed. Humanity continued to prosper. Meanwhile, he worshiped the beautiful elves, envied the dexterity of the dwarves, admired the bodies of the orcs, and feared the power of the trolls.
That sight made Sayer reflect on the long past.
I was furious. The appearance of the descendants overlapped with that of the ancestors who served the Eldrasians. Even though Sayer knew it was just his trauma, he couldn’t accept it.
And I couldn’t find any reason to tolerate it.
‘What’s wrong with wanting my descendants to head to higher places?’
Every time the elves and dwarves gained power, humans appeared and confronted them, carrying the ancient artifacts that Sayre had given them. A war broke out and many people and other races died.
A human kingdom appeared that envied the civilization of elves and dwarves and joined hands with them. The intolerant God of mankind did not condone that act. Elves, dwarves, and the human kingdom that joined hands with them all received divine punishment.
He killed the enemy, killed the ally who joined hands with the enemy, killed the pioneer who tried to emulate the enemy, and killed the philosopher who tried to understand the enemy. He killed and killed again. The deaths of thousands and tens of thousands did not mean much to him. It was a number that would be restored to its original state in just a few hundred years anyway.
“To grow a beautiful forest, you shouldn’t waste pruning.”
We cannot afford to regret the deaths of thousands or tens of thousands of people and then allow the future of tens or millions of ‘humanity’ to come into disarray in the future. Sayer, who predicted the future through probability calculations in the Akashic omnipotent domain, did not have a single doubt about his judgment.
So he didn’t even feel it.
This is nature’s way of thinking, not human thinking.
Before you know it, you are thinking and acting like Akashic itself.
Twelve thousand years have passed like that. By changing his body countless times and transferring his soul, Sayer reigned as a god behind humanity.
The world has become cleaner and more beautiful. It was a world that was very satisfying in the eyes of the God of mankind.
God laughed.
☆ ☆ ☆
Suddenly my vision darkens. All the fragments of space-time that were flowing disappear and darkness encroaches in their place. Confused, Leffenhardt looked around him.
‘What’s going on?’
In the distance, in the darkness, a familiar young man appeared. He was a handsome man with black hair and a sturdy build. Leffenhardt called his name.
“Tesron… … .”
Tethron, who had become a floating body in consciousness, approached, stepping through the air. His face is stiff and even looks oddly haggard.
“That doesn’t make sense.”
As he spoke, Reppenhardt was puzzled for a moment. Is it okay to use this expression for a soul that has already lost its body and is tied to someone else’s consciousness?
Well, I could guess why Tethron’s soul looked like that. In order to gather this amount of information, it would be enough to dive into Sayer’s consciousness once or twice. Dozens, maybe hundreds of times.
Each time, he must have been chased and sometimes caught by the subject of the memory and suffered a mental blow. It’s amazing that he still maintains his sense of self.
Tethron asked.
“Did you see everyone?”
“saw. “It was a fun time because I was able to solve a lifelong question.”
“You had fun seeing that? After all, you are a wizard. “No matter how much the body changes, the essence of the soul does not go anywhere.”
“In the first place, wizards are creatures who live and die out of curiosity… … .”
Reppenhardt, who had been smiling bitterly, straightened his face and his complexion hardened.
“What kind of trick is this? “Why are you giving this information to me, your enemy?”
“Yes, Demon Lord Reppenhardt, you are definitely my enemy and the enemy of humanity.”
Tesron, who was nodding, suddenly frowned.
“But that doesn’t mean that crazy god of mankind becomes my ally and protector of mankind!”
Intense emotions rush through Reppenhardt’s consciousness like a storm. He seems quite excited.
“I was just an ignorant warrior. So my purpose was simple.”
Tethron continued.
“I couldn’t bear to watch so many people suffer unjust deaths.”
It was Tethron who committed countless murders while living as a king. Of course, there were not only warriors and wizards among them, but also ordinary civilians.
Humans can harm humans without wielding swords or spears. Humans can kill humans even without the power of magic and aurors. Even a helpless man becomes worse than a devil in hell when he abuses a weak woman, and sometimes a single word can cause more pain than a thousand swords.
He may have killed helpless civilians, but Tethron never killed those who were wronged.
But war is different. The flame of the telephone does not discriminate between the strong and the weak, the evil and the good, and those who deserve to die and those who have been wronged.
“Demon King, I saw the horrors of the war that arose because of you. I saw rivers of blood and mountains of corpses that flowed as a result. “I saw so many unfair people dying because of that.”
‘… … ‘You truly believe that you have never killed someone who was wronged, Tethron.’

Shocked, Reppenhardt shook his head. But now, he has no desire to hold back his words.
“There are differences of opinion on the interpretation of the word unfairness, but let’s move on for now. so?”
Tethron stared at Reppenhardt with hatred in his eyes.
“Demon King Reppenhardt, I cannot tolerate your existence.”
“I know that well.”
“Similarly, the existence of an author who is the god of mankind is also unacceptable!”
The truth was terrible. Sayre was neither the Creator nor the Creator of mankind.
“He’s just a fool who accidentally gave himself the power of a god and ruined the world with that power! And he still wields that power as he pleases!”
Leppenhardt looked puzzled as he watched Tethron grinding his teeth.
“Even so, isn’t he still protecting humanity? “Then I guess he’s not a bad god from humanity’s perspective.”
Tethron laughed.
“It’s funny, you said that to me.”
“Ah, at least that’s what I thought you would think of it.”
If it was the Tethron that Repenhardt knew, he would have accepted whatever Sayre had done and the true identity of the elves and dwarves. In any case, Sayer clearly did something like that for humanity, and regardless of whether the soul or body is changed, it is an unmistakable fact that other races and humans are separate races.
Tethron shook his head. And he suddenly asked:
“Do you know? “How many people have been killed by elves, dwarves, orcs, and trolls over the past twelve thousand years?”
There is no way to know. Of course, it is not an ordinary number as time passes by.
Tethron, perhaps not expecting an answer, continued speaking immediately.
“It’s surprisingly small. “If you add it all up, it’s less than eight million.”
Eight million may seem like a huge number, but in the span of 12,000 years, it is not that big of a number. Just by simple calculation, between six hundred and seven hundred people a year? At that rate, there would be a lot more deaths from accidents or diseases.
“But over 12,000 years, the number of people who died at the hands of Sayer is over 800 million!”
For a moment, Reppenhardt flinched.
It was Sayer who started countless wars behind humanity’s back. He even went out of his way to completely destroy the mixed race and humanity. I also saw the human kingdom that disobeyed God’s will perish due to divine punishment. Even with just a brief glimpse into the past, it was clear that countless massacres were caused by Sayre.
‘But still, 800 million?’
This is such an enormous number that even the time frame of twelve thousand years cannot be used as an excuse. Moreover, the number of other races is not included in those 800 million. Tethron still does not view other races other than humans as people.
‘Oh my god, how much does it all add up to?’
Tethron screamed sobbingly at the stunned Reppenhardt.
“God of mankind? A protector of humanity? “No one in human history has committed more murder than that crazy god!”
A storm of emotions swirls throughout my mental space. The emotion was so intense that even Leppenhardt, who possesses strong mental strength, was shaken for a moment. You can clearly see how angry Tesron is right now.
He is simple, and because of that, he can be even more purely angry.
“Demon King Reppenhardt, you are a being who should not exist in the world. That thought has not changed even now. “It shouldn’t be possible for humans to kill other humans in thousands or tens of thousands.”
The old Reppenhardt would have scoffed. No, isn’t that what Jim Unbreakable, who specializes in mass destruction, would say in the first place?
However, now he has come to understand to some extent that he, too, is a human emotion.
Killing one or ten is the same as murder, but humans naturally feel more angry at the person who killed ten than the person who killed one. Whether dozens or thousands of people are killed, it is still a mass murder, but humans naturally hate the latter more.
‘Yes, you are human after all.’
Thethron was a human. He was an ordinary human being who saw only what he wanted to see, heard only what he wanted to hear, and saw the world only by his own standards. His narrow-minded and self-centered anger was also clearly human, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Although he still couldn’t ‘sympathize’, he was now able to ‘understand’ Reppenhardt.
“Is that why you showed me the truth?”
“Unfortunately, the only one who has a chance to deal with Sayer is you, the Demon King.”
After his body was taken away, Theron glimpsed the truth of God. Sayer had various reasons, saying it was a sacrifice for the future of humanity, but he didn’t know anything about it, and what Tethron saw was just a history of a large-scale massacre that took place over twelve thousand years. Even more than the Demon King, it was a disaster that the god of mankind could not tolerate.
I was shocked and despaired. Even if Tes Ron himself regained his original strength, even if he gathered the strength of his colleagues who were fighting against the Demon King, even his master Gerard and the sword saint Vana Tel were all helpless before that gigantic being. Moreover, he was now a ghost who had even lost his second body. I’m in a position where I can’t do anything.
The frustrated Tethron found hope only recently, after a brief mental connection with Reppenhardt.
“Somehow, you came into my consciousness. So I moved right away. “I tried to somehow convey the information I obtained about Sayer.”
There is a saying that if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win every battle. I expected that if it was a demon lord, Sayer’s information would be enough to find his weaknesses and opponent’s methods. Although it may not be to that extent, it is true that the more you know about the enemy, the higher your chances of winning.
“Even though I wasn’t prepared at all, so I couldn’t deliver anything right.”
From that day on, I prepared in advance. We look forward to Leffenhardt’s Dream Dive again and have prepared all kinds of information and history to make it easy to convey.
“If it were you, I would definitely try the dream dive again.”
“How do you know I would do that?”
“Hmph, has there ever been a case where a wizard puts the truth in front of him and just waits for it to end?”
“… … “You have a pretty good understanding of wizards.”
Leffenhardt looked at Tesron blankly. Now I know why Tesron is so cooperative.
“Raise your strength, fight, and die together?”
“That’s the result I’m most looking forward to.”
Tethron smiled coldly. Reppenhardt clicked his tongue.
