The Dragon That Devours the World

Inside the magnificent palace, the Son of God exuding endless light and heat is suspended in the air, behind the thirty-six pairs of flame wings waving at will, countless sparks fall from the wings like rain of flowers, and in front of the Son of God , Is a dark thing that sits high on the throne, shrouded in deep darkness.

　　 Looking at the angel king who is still expressionless and can't see any emotions in front of him, the dark thing crosses his hands at random, and then speaks in a low voice.

　　 "The king of angels, God created man in his own image and made him reproduce in the Garden of Eden, and man has **** and desires **** and love."

"The angel in front of me, I can say bluntly: God is the prototype of man, God also has **, God also has **, God also has desire, God will also decay, God will also fall, God also has Death, the omnipotent **** is not perfect either."

　　 There was something inexplicable in the deep voice, and the erect snake eyes looked coldly at the Son of God in front of him.

　　 And the answer of the Son of God is also very direct.

"it's not true."

　　 The cold face of the King of Angels did not change at all, but he said calmly as usual.

"is it?"

　　 Hearing this, the dark thing with invisible face was noncommittal and did not directly refute it. Instead, he leaned his body on the throne, stroked his forehead with one hand, and stretched out the other in the direction of the angel king.

　　 "The King of Angels, in your opinion, what is **."

　　 "** is sin."

　　 The King of Angels said calmly.

　　 A very normal answer. In the angel's eyes, ** means sin and should be eliminated.

　　 "No way."

　　 However, the dark thing shook his head, and his outstretched fingers shook left and right to show his denial.

"King of Angels, you are the incarnation of God's will. You should understand that God created this world, God created everything in this world except me, time, space, order, existence, right and wrong, good and evil... All righteousness is created by God, in that case... Isn't it also God's creation?"

　　 The Dark Thing opened his eyes, looked directly at the King of Angels in front of him, and sneered.

　　 "The king of angels, can it be said that the ** in this world were created by me?"

"Not so, I just dominated the **, not created a creation of God. The angel in front of me, God does not create useless things, God created **, precisely because ** also has the necessity of its existence. , Is it possible that, as the incarnation of the will of God and the messenger of heaven, you are going to deny what God has created?"

　　The dark thing sneered.

　　 In front of it, the King of Angels frowned, and was choked by words for a while.

　　Angels are the messengers of God and the incarnation of God's will. It can be said that angels are the hands and feet of God. As an angel, Metatron obviously cannot deny the creation of God. This is a taboo.

　　 Then, the dark thing sitting high on the throne looked down at the King of Angels in front of him, and continued.

"In my opinion, there are sixteen fundamental things in the world: power, the desire to influence others; independence, the desire for self-reliance; curiosity, the desire for knowledge; acceptance, the desire for belonging and tolerance; Orderly, the desire for order; collection, the desire for hoarding; honor, the desire for loyalty to tradition; ideals, the desire for justice; the desire for social interaction, the desire for companions and friendship; the family, the desire for raising children; status , The desire for social hierarchy and status; counterattack, the desire for revenge; romance, the desire for **** and beauty; appetite, the desire for fullness; exercise, the desire for a strong body; tranquility, the desire for peace of mind. "

　　 "And these sixteen fundamental **, their original source is all from their own imperfections, and their own defects."

A deep voice rang in the ears of the King of Angels, and the voice of the dark thing seemed to carry some inexplicable magic power, which made people want to listen to its voice, instinctively admired, admired, excited, and even It's... a fanatical worship.

　　 Something is wrong, something is wrong!

　　Anyone can realize this, but the King of Angels is still motionless...

　　 I don’t know when it started, the flame wings behind the Angel King stopped moving, and even the scattered sparks stagnated in the air, with countless dazzling sparks floating in the air, looking very beautiful.

　　 Inside the palace, the dust and tiny particles that were faintly visible in the light also stagnated, and even the light itself stopped moving.

　　 Outside this magnificent underwater palace, the endless sea water, the swimming fish and monsters in the sea water, and even the flying birds on the sea, the white clouds and the glow in the sky...

　　 Everything fell into a standstill.

　　Time has stopped.

　　 And in this completely static world, only the dark thing that sits high on the throne and can't see its face is still moving.

　　'S erect pupils are cold, looking at the king of angels in front of him, as if he could shoot directly into the depths of the opponent's pupils and see the other's heart.

　　 After a long time, a deep voice sounded slowly.

　　 "Sure enough, you can see it."

Opposite 　　, the King of Angels remained motionless.

"The king of angels, my strength is very powerful, very powerful, strong enough to control the will of the entire material world with my own will. Time, space, death, all earth, water, wind and fire are all under the control of my will, but Even if it is as strong as I am, it is still flawed, not perfect."

"I can stagnate the entire material world, make my own will override the world, and thus dominate the entire material world, but even so I am not invincible, because I still can't dominate the spiritual world, and because of this, I once lost to one The guy who is detached from the shackles of the material world and has to fight with the soul, in the same way, even if I stagnate the world, you can still think in this stagnant world..."

　　In front of the stagnant King of Angels, the dark thing stood up from the throne, and then walked in the direction of the King of Angels...

　　 "Tread...Tread...Tread..."

　　 In the image of the frozen pupils of the King of Angels, only one pair of feet was walking towards him, walking in the void.

　　 "Life is flawed."

　　 "Because I am flawed, there are all kinds of desires to try to fill my own shortcomings and make myself perfect. It is precisely because of my imperfection that I try to pursue perfection."

　　 A deep and magical voice sounded along with the sound of footsteps beside his ears.

"The so-called loyalty, awe, worship... are all because of their own imperfections. When they see things that are far closer to perfection than themselves, they will be eager to imitate them. That's why they will offer their loyalty and beliefs. Try to get closer to the other person and imitate it to make yourself more perfect."

　　 "The poor worship the wealth of the rich, and the rich respect the peace of the ascetic monks, all because of this, because in their eyes, they all see what the other party has but what they don't have."

"King of Angels, I know very well what loyalty is. Snake girl and Cain worship me, not because of their loyalty to me, but because they fear me, fear my strength, fear my power, and fear it. I will tremble in front of me. It is because of fear and because they are aware of how small they are, so they are so loyal to and admiring me."

　　 "Loyalty is a kind of longing, and there are many reasons for this longing. It can be said that the pursuit of power, the fear of being strong, the pursuit of glory, it can also be other, many, many..."

　　 In the image reflected by the pupils, the dark thing that cannot be seen clearly is close at hand, so close that the two can clearly see every detail of each other's pupils.

　　 In a trance, the dark things that could not see their faces gradually began to melt, forming another appearance...

With a cold face and a dazzling brilliance, the thirty-six pairs of flame wings behind him gently waved, emitting endless light and heat towards the world, as if looking in a mirror, in a stagnant time and space. Among them, two kings of angels who looked the same stood opposite each other.

　　 The only difference is that the pupils of one of them are indifferent and solemn, while the pupils of the other are cold to no emotion.

　　 stepping on the solidified void under his feet, the "king of angels" looked at the king of angels in front of him, the thirty-six wings behind him were completely unfolded in an instant, the wanton sparks flew down, opened his arms, and said softly.

　　 "So... Metatron, tell me, what is your loyalty to God?"

　　 "Because of the pursuit of glory? Or the trust in the Creator? Or is it because of other things?"

The whispered voice carries a certain inexplicable magic power, flowing bit by bit into the heart of the angel king in front of him, and among the frozen pupils, the "king of angels" who looks the same as his own, but recklessly. , As if it was the other side of the heart of the King of Angels, gradually enlarged, getting bigger and bigger... It almost completely enveloped the pupils of the King of Angels.

"But, Metatron, have you not realized it yet, or maybe you can avoid a fact? What are angels to God? They are hands, feet, and tools. Did your Creator really care about you? ?"

　　 murmured as if he was laughing.

"boom!!!"

　　In an instant, a brilliance shot out from the depths of the frozen pupils, and the erect pupils of the "King of Angels" that were close at hand shrank slightly, only to be able to avoid it, and the brilliance immediately hit the pillars of the palace.

　　 "Boom rumbling..."

　　 Amid the loud roar, the stone beams and pillars behind him collapsed, raising countless smoke and dust.

　　 The erect pupils of "Dark Things" looked at the King of Angels indifferently. On its cheek, a shallow wound appeared, and a little golden blood spilled from the wound.

　　 On the opposite side, there was also a shallow wound on the cheek of the King of Angels, the position and size were the same as those on the face of "Darkness".

Two people who look the same, as if they are looking in a mirror~www.readwn.com~The Darkness glanced at the direction of his wound, and then the slender snake letter stretched out and put his cheek on his cheek. All the bleeding blood was licked up.

　　 "I tasted a deep anger..."

　　The dark thing closed his eyes, and laughed in a low voice while tasting the blood in his mouth.

　　 "Ho ho, it's really interesting...the power of the mind is really powerful, and it can even break through the constraints of the material world for a time, beyond my control."

"But, Metatron, haven't you realized it yet? Doesn't God know your situation or what I said to you? Of course he knows it very well, but he doesn't care at all, even if you are the king of angels. , God doesn’t care about you at all, just as craftsmen don’t care about the personal likes and dislikes of the hammer. To God, you are just a tool..."

　　 "The tool is broken, it's just a replacement. Even if the King of Angels has fallen... it's just creating a perfect Messiah again."

　　 "God loves the world, but does God love angels..."

　　……

　　 I don't know when, the stagnant time resumed flowing, and the shining angel king reappeared in the palace of Saturn, and the documents in front of him were piled up with various reports and things to be processed.

　　 After a long silence, the vice-prince of the Heavenly Kingdom once again dealt with the piles of affairs. The solemnity in his eyes remained the same, as if it had never heard those blasphemous words.

　　 is just like the impression it left on the world, firm, persistent, diligent, humble, fair, kind, never slack, and admired perfect angel...
