Chapter 378: The Devils Whisper

Egostic reveals to Celeste that there is a new ruin of the Sun God.

Then, back to the present.

We were on a street in Europe, in the back alley of some building.

Is this it?

A ramshackle back alley lined with European-style brick buildings.

There, Celeste stood, her long silver hair flowing, uncharacteristically dressed in plain clothes.

I dont know if it was because her face itself was shining, but even in plain clothes instead of her saintly robes, she looked holy unlike everyone else. Of course, the plain clothes were new to her.

Anyway, I smiled at her and opened my mouth.

Yes. Thats right. This is the ruins of the Sun God I discovered.

How the hell do you know about this place?

Hearing Celestes incredulity, I entered the ramshackle abandoned house in the back alley.

It was a dark place of crumbling boards that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

I walked wordlessly to the end of the seemingly deserted street.

Finally, I saw a blank wall in front of me and I put my hand on it.

I felt something stirring.

What should have been an empty wall had suddenly become a large door.

A wall of ruins, just like the one I had seen before.

As in the original, this door is only visible if you know it exists.

Of course, thats all I can do as a fake.

With that thought, I turned my head and smiled at Celeste, who was standing behind me.

There you go. The gates to the ruins are open, so lets go in.

Egosticyoure real.

Celeste said in disbelief as she looked at me, who had so casually discovered a new ruin that even she, a Saint of the Sun God, didnt know about.

She nodded and walked over to me.

Yes. Lets go in.

With that, I opened the door.

Immediately, a pure white light enveloped our bodies and we were sucked into the ruins.

*

This is it

It was a large cavity of ochre-colored bricks, weathered by the winds of time.

In this Sun Gods ruins, which seemed to be connected to another world, Celeste first snapped her fingers.

With that, her outfit changed from a t-shirt to a traditional saints robe.

Phew

With a sigh, she was back to being the sassy, mysterious saint.

Looking around, she spoke in a slightly wary voice.

I wont lose my powers here, right?

Haha, yes. Probably, youre safe here.

Well, thats good to know, butI guess it doesnt matter.

After a moment, she looked back at me, gave me a small smile, and said.

Because youre with me.

Of course, that was only for a second, then she turned her head and started walking away.

Lets go, I wonder whats in here.

Haha. Yeah.

And with that, I smiled quietly and followed behind Celeste.

We entered the ruins.

Just like the previous ruins, this underground ancient ruin, which was off-limits to ordinary people, wasquite large, especially with all the murals.

And these were the ones I was aiming for.

Wow.

Celeste looked at the ruins filled with such murals with admiration.

As she looked around, she began to mutter and speak to me.

These ancient ruins, who made them, when and why?

Didnt you investigate the ruins last time?

I didafter you leftI organized a separate survey party. Only

Celeste ran a slender hand along the wall, her voice filled with doubt.

Surely, with these murals and the size of the ruinsThere must have been a lot of people who believed in the Sun God, so why is it that everyone has forgotten about him now and only believes in other gods?

At her incomprehension, I shook my head and replied.

That much is unknown at this point, but based on the few surviving texts of the Sun Godmodern religions have quite a bit in common with the doctrines of the Sun God.

Yeah. I know that, I guessmodern religions are all derived from him, but whywhy have all the records been lost, except for a few books?

With that, our conversation stopped for a moment.

We just stare at a large wall with a huge mural on it, the result of a slow walk through the ruins.

Looking at the mural

..

I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

Yes. This is it.

This is it. This is my chance to plant the seed of doubt in her mind, the seed that would bring everything down.

This is what Ive been preparing for all along.

With that, I composed myself, and as I stared at the mural, I spoke quietly.

This mural, unusually, has words on it.

I said.

Una die descenditur, I read, calmly, in Latin.

Una die descendit Deus et dedit nobis gratiamOne day God descended and gave us grace.

With those words, I looked again at the mural that accompanied them.

A group of what appeared to be humans kneeling, and at the end of it, a man with his head painted as the sun and his arms outstretched.

Celeste was looking at it, her face filled with emotion.

After all, God must have descended to this world in the past.

With that, I continued to read the words.

The Sun God descended and gave us laws and precepts.

The Sun God is with us, showing us the way to live our lives.

The Sun God loved humans and gave each one of them power

And so it was.

The words on the mural spoke of how much the god loved humans, and how he led them himself.

I looked at it, then I turned to Celeste and smiled.

Now I see. I guess God really did love humans.

YesI suppose so.

She replied with a warm smile, her eyes, however, were fixed on the mural, unmoving, as if trying to etch that image into her eyes.

Yes. She must be thrilled.

To be chosen by the Sun God, despite her background, to be his chosen oneShe didnt know the details of what he was like, what he wanted, how he made this world.

And so, for the first time, she learned more about him.

The god of the mural was depicted as a man, though his face was in the form of the sun.

And something common to all the other murals, including this one was that God co-existed in this world in human form and led humans directly.

Clearly, He loved humans.

Yes, he did.

This was important.

With this, I was going to plant the seed of a rift in Celestes mind.

Theres a series of murals over there, too. Shall we continue on?

Yes. Lets go.

And so we did.

I walked with Celeste, looking at the paintings of people praising god. I smiled, and was about to speak when I realized.

Thats very strange.

Celeste spoke first.

How is it that God could love and be with humans so much, and then and then just disappear, leaving all of his creatures behind?

She muttered that, puzzled.

Listening to her words, I smirked.

Okay, it was time to start.

I guess. He must have had something going on, but theres one thing for sure, right?

Whats that?

That He still loves us.

I said, and suddenly stopped in my tracks and looked back at Celeste.

Oh.

And at that moment, she, who had been following me, stopped right in front of me, just as I stopped.

Taking advantage of the moment, I ruffled her silvery hair as it fell in a natural motion and muttered.

Didnt He speak to you, Celeste, when He chose you, saving you in your hour of need, and telling you to unite the world?

Yes?

She looks up at me with a puzzled expression on her face at my words spoken so close to her, but she doesnt push me away or reject me.

Okay. Thats it.

In order to move forward in a relationship, its necessary to make the first move.

Now it was time to drive the wedge.

This must be because He still loves the people of the world. He will return to this world and save them all. What do you think, Celeste?

Youre right.

Celeste smiled slightly, looked up at me, and spoke.

I smiled back, and continued.

He definitely told me that He would come back to this world soon.

Then againperhaps it was His will for you, Celeste, to bring the world together before then, so that His faith and love could spread more quickly.

I guess youre right. After all, I knew God was like that.

Celeste still affirmed my words.

Seeing that she was convinced by my words, I smiled even more deeply.

Now, in Celestes mind, through the words on the mural and my persuasionthe image of the Sun God is now firmly established.

He has always cared for people, helped them since ancient times but disappeared for some reason.

Then he returned, saving a damsel in distress, bringing the world together, and soon returning to this world to shower it with love.

Clearly, he was a good God who loves humans and wants to save them.

Thats the God you like, Celeste.

When hetries to destroy humans.

He is completely different from what I thought until now. He is so filled with hatred for humans that it is hard to believe that He is the same God. He has become no different from the god of destruction.

I smiled quietly at the thought.

This was the beginning of my grand plan to have a saint defeat her own god.
