A hero becomes an obsessed villain - Episode 398
EP.398 - Story with the stars
Some place where everything is white.
There, Stadus sat face to face with the God of Stars and soon heard the truth about the world from God..
In the beginning, there were three gods who created this world.
These three created a world, and on it they created creatures called humans that resemble them..
So the three gods led humans and continued their lives in peace..
The one called the sun god gave special abilities to humans and made them stronger..
The one called the moon god taught humans the knowledge of magic and made them wise..
The one called the Star God taught humans harmony and coexistence so that they could love one another..
The peaceful reign of the gods seemed to continue endlessly..
Until one god changes his mind.
"Helios, the sun god... He suddenly said he was sick of humans.."
It's not fun. Let's destroy them all and use these resources to create other intelligent life forms..
Naturally, the star god was against it. How can that be? Can we throw away the creations we made with our own hands so vainly?.
"So we continued to fight constantly... and the end of that fight was war.."
The two realized that they could not compromise with each other and ended up fighting heartily..
The moon god, who had been neutral from the beginning, disappeared.
The fierce battle between the two remaining gods... finally ends with the victory of the Star God..
"But... it was a victory with only scars.."
Saying that, the star god smiled bitterly..
Finally, the star god succeeded in driving the sun god out of this world... but in the process, the star god's body also suffered great damage..
To the point where it’s hard to maintain my spiritual strength anymore..
"But... I knew.."
someday. The sun god will definitely come back.
That they will try to destroy this world once again.
In this way, the star god endured with his weakened divine power, watched the humans, and waited for his time..
How many thousands of years have passed since then?.
It was a day when, in the aftermath of the war, the existence of the gods was forgotten from humanity's memory, and peace seemed to have been achieved without the gods..
Suddenly, the power of the sun god began to take root in this world again..
"...Is it called paranormal ability? That power."
One of the powers given by the sun god in ancient times.
power of the sun.
That ability suddenly began to be given back to the people of this world..
The power that will bring about chaos in the world.
"Then... I realized. ah. The sun god is getting closer to this world again.."
Because his influence was once again manifesting itself in this world..
"But to fight him again... my strength was not enough. My existence itself is already unstable.."
Hehehe.
Saying so, the star god smiled weakly..
So much so that it hurts Stardust’s heart to see it..
"That's why... I needed someone to protect this world on my behalf.."
"Someone who will take my place in my weakened state, inherit my divine power, and continue my mission to protect this world.."
She said and waved her hand..
Then, the pure white Milky Way spreads out above them..
The star god looked up, pointed his hand, and continued his explanation..
"The world of the gods... The divine world is markedly separated from the modern world. Therefore, the power of the gods to interfere in the present world is limited. Of course, even that... would be enough to destroy this world.."
"anyway. In order to deal with the sun god, I continued to search the world for someone who would inherit my power.."
Saying so, the star god looked at Stardus warmly and continued..
"A person with a heart strong enough to drive out evil from the world... and a belief that will never be shaken.."
"Just, not overlooking injustice, kind, and strong.."
"Someone who can be the savior of this world."
Watching her say those words with a kind smile.
Starthers opened his mouth quietly..
"...That was me."
"okay. That's right, it's Haru. You were the right person to save this world.."
"...But I'm not the person God thinks I am..."
When Stardus muttered like that,.
God took her hand, smiled, and spoke in a firm tone..
"no. It's a day. I don't make mistakes. You were the right one to receive this power."
...Starders was left speechless by God's confident words..
She soon saw Stardust's face like that and smiled..
So God continued speaking..
"Anyway, that is why I have given you almost all of my remaining divinity. This is the only power that can compete with the sun."
'...Anyone, please. If there is a God... please give me strength too. the strength to defeat them.'
"When you were young... when you lost your parents to the evildoers and you looked at the stars in the night sky and cried and talked. I called you here and talked to you directly.."
'...Who are you?'
'hi. I am Sidus, the god of stars..'
"Even though you don't seem to remember that day... you were so young back then, but now you've grown up so well.."
The star god said and smiled, stroking her hand with warm eyes..
"So... my daughter. It's a day. It's a difficult request, but I'd like to ask you a favor here.."
God seemed to have finished speaking before he knew it..
In a sincere tone, I asked Stardus..
"please. On my behalf, will you stop the sun god from destroying this world??"
And to her.
Stardust, stay calm. However, I answered resolutely and sincerely..
"yes."
"Even if you don't ask... if it's my duty, of course."
Stadus responded with a firm look in his eyes..
Soon the star god saw her and.
"...."
He nodded with satisfied eyes..
***
And so the story containing the secrets of this world, told by the star god, came to an end..
Before I knew it, Haru was standing in the white space again, and the star god was sending me off warmly..
"Goodbye. My daughter Haru. I'm sorry for asking such a difficult request.."
"no. Of course it's something that needs to be done.."
"Hehe... thank you. And if there's anything you want to ask before you go, ask it now.."
Before leaving, she gives me one last chance to ask a question..
Stardust had a lot of questions, starting with the star god's current physical condition....
After hesitating, I asked something I was curious about earlier..
"...ego stick."
"huh?"
"Ah, ego-stick is... Dain. I understand that Dain also received the power of the stars... You said earlier that I am the only savior of this world. But I think he’s like that too...."
To Starthers who asked that question.
The star god smiled weakly and answered quietly..
"Yeah... he's a savior too."
...Exactly.
He is the savior of us all.
"Aha... yes?"
To Stardus, who couldn't hear what he said, the star god just smiled and passed on his words..
"I'll tell you more about that later. ...By the way... it's a day."
"You like him.?"
And suddenly, God's question comes to me.
When Shin said that with a mischievous expression, Stadus, who had not expected such a conversation to come out, blushed and was embarrassed..
"Oh, that's not it... No, that's true, but..."
When Stardust was acting like that.
"...."
For some reason, God smiled sadly for a moment..
Soon, as if he had never done that before, he smiled again and opened his mouth..
"Hehehe. I can tell without you saying it. okay. Haru does whatever he wants.."
"...Anyway, it's time to go.."
With those words, the star god walked up to Stardus, touched her hair, and said,.
"Goodbye, my daughter.."
"Please save this world with your power.."
"...yes."
In this somehow nostalgic feeling, Stadus felt his insides becoming warm. He answered in a voice full of determination..
A beautiful god with eyes like blue jewels, looking down at you with kind eyes while holding you in his arms..
In her arms, Stadus thought quietly..
'...star god.'
Although our meeting was short and our separation was only a moment..
During that time, Starders felt as if he was in his mother's arms and reaffirmed his mission..
We must save this world.
I have to save this world.
Because that's the fate given to me.
After Stardus realized his identity,.
Filled with my own will, I felt my eyes gradually closing without realizing it in the warm energy... I quietly strengthened my will..
Within.
'It's a day.'
'...Please don't be afraid of separation.'
She closed her eyes completely, hearing the vague voice of God..
Just like that, her mind also flew somewhere..
Now, it was time to return to the reality that awaited him..
***
After sending Stardust away like that,.
In the empty white space, the star god looked at the spot where she had left and then coughed..
"...Cluck, cluck."
The yellow shining star dust on her hand as she covered her mouth and giggled..
"....."
The star god watched the stardust on his hands turn black and fade away with a single wave of his hand..
'Oh, that's not it... No, that's true, but...'
Recalling her last conversation with her daughter Stathers, she muttered bitterly:.
"...I'm sorry, Haru..'
with those words.
She left quietly.
In the place where the star god, Sidus, left,.
...Only the star dust that could not disappear remained quietly on the floor..
***
[Wow! No, what should I do? The sun god didn't kill our day.?]
"Don’t make a fuss, Icicle. It can't be like that.."
"...ha ha ha. Even Stardust has fallen. we are all ruined."
Korea Hero Association.
...After the sun god's warning, the people around him were busy watching Stardus suddenly fall..
"eww...."
wiggle.
Finally, Stardust opened his eyes.
"oh! Stardust, you finally opened your eyes.."
[Haha... thank goodness. Haru, I was worried.!]
At the sound of words coming from around me,.
Stadus woke up and grabbed his head, then looked around and asked:.
"...How much time has passed now?"
"Not much has passed. You got up almost immediately after you fell.."
To the president of the association who responded like that,.
Stadus stood up, looked at everyone in a clear voice, and spoke..
"Well there is no time for this now. It must be very chaotic out there right now. Let's start the response protocol immediately.."
like this.
With Stardus' words at the end, Korea's full-fledged response began..
and.
...It is said that Stardus' eyes were shining even brighter than before when he said that..
