Do gods really exist in the world ? Are the legends true?
If someone had asked this question before, most people would have said it was wrong. If you delved deeper, you might even have been considered crazy or stupid.
But now, no one would dare rightfully declare that the gods and all legends were merely fabricated stories, beyond scrutiny. For now, myth has truly been born and is undeniably and vividly laid bare before all.
A colossal being, tens of thousands of meters high. A gigantic being, its entire body covered in flames, with a golden halo behind it radiating an endless light like the sun . A colossal being, its feet lifted off the ground, gliding silently over the mountains.
Countless people who saw him were reminded of the legends of their own nations. Whether it was the Titan giants from the Olympian legends or Gonggong and the Fire God from Chinese mythology , their images coincided with this giant at that moment.
Similarly, myths and legends were reborn in the world through him .
"Mom, all those bedtime stories were true," murmured a middle-aged man in the mountain town, gazing at the enormous figure rising among the clouds. A group of people around him looked up, heard his words, and nodded blankly.
However absurd it was, it was worth believing in at that moment. Because the most absurd thing was now before them: a colossal God that completely surpassed the limits of imagination.
Only the word "God" could describe its brilliance, and only the word "giant God" could describe its immense size. At first sight of this extraordinarily great creation, people were astonished by their own insignificance.
Some people had already knelt down. Not just one person, but tens of thousands. They had spread across cities and countries. They had even spread throughout Europe. The power of the Glorious King was seen by people all over the European continent, and likewise, people all over the world became aware of his presence at that moment.
" Is this Jehovah ?" someone asked. But no one could give him a clear answer. The strange changes that had recently occurred in churches and on crosses were still fresh in people's minds, and now a living mythological being had appeared before humanity. To say that there was no connection between the two was something no one would believe.
Compared to the shocking news of Jehovah's death , more people were willing to believe that the person before them was Jehovah . Compared to the stone carvings and wooden statues in churches, and the blank pages in the Bible, this living, transcendent, great being before them was the one who could truly be called Jehovah .
Just as humans could see the Incarnation of the Bright King , the Bright King could naturally see these mortals . He saw those who were beyond words of awe, and those who knelt before him in reverence. This respect and worship emanating from their bones made him feel the honor of being God.
As he envisioned himself as the Glorious King, he should be worshipped and revered by countless people, just as he had imagined himself to be a God.
And now, he had achieved what he desired, and he felt the beauty and intoxicating nature of this feeling deeply.
If you were just a human, no matter how immense your power, how terrifying your authority, or how astonishing your wealth, it would be impossible to get so many people to kneel before you and believe in you. But once you are God, reaching that level becomes incredibly easy.
Is this a flaw in human nature, or a unique, innate, almost instinctive yearning for the gods? It's a difficult, almost philosophical question to answer. And humans don't need an answer. They've worshipped the gods for tens of thousands of years, and they don't hesitate to worship them even more.
Seeing the drunken expression on the Bright King's face, Lilith , whose ear was entwined with his , silently climbed up into his earlobe.
"You seem very well-suited to being a god. Do you see? The mortals below are praying to you. Your appearance seems to have completely captivated them. If I were in your place, I would use a small miracle to show them your greatness. Then I would make them even more devoted to you."
Although it was a sign of temptation, the Brilliant King had to admit at this moment that it was indeed a good method. As long as he could perform a few miracles, a large portion of these mortals who already admired him would become his loyal followers. It was even possible that their souls would come to him after death and serve at his feet . Although he didn't need these souls , that didn't mean he didn't want to enjoy such splendor.
That's why he chose to do as Lilith said . He chose to unleash the greatest miracle upon this world where the gods had vanished . A great gift from the Sun God ...
The colossal god, high in the sky, stretched out his hands, and with his movement, the endless clouds violently parted to either side. The splitting of the entire sea of clouds before him fully revealed his divine majesty.
And the next moment, a light like the sun emanated from the enormous golden halo behind him . The light wasn't dazzling; rather, it was as warm as the spring sun . This light filled the sky and spread across the earth, enveloping everything in sight .
This includes all mortals who were enveloped by this light at that moment .
Many people were disturbed by this sudden light. Worshipping God was one thing, but not everyone was willing to be a plaything of a god. Therefore, most people were filled with suspicion and fear for something so vague as to originate from God.
People do indeed worship gods, but they have an even greater reverence for their existence. Like the stories in Jehovah's Bible , people may not be able to recount the benevolent works of the gods there, but they will certainly remember their terrifying power, such as summoning floods to submerge the earth and sending meteors and fire through angels to destroy cities . Awe is the greatest feeling people have toward the gods.
However, even if they adopted a cautious approach, they could not escape the beams of light before they fell upon them.
You cannot resist what I will bestow upon you. Nor can you refuse it. This was the Brilliant King's characteristic impressive demeanor.
And by His will, this beam of light was like a radioactive pulse. It instantly emanated from its starting point and reached the entire world . In just an instant, this light covered the entire surface of the earth and reached every person.
Although it lasted only a brief moment, this light instilled fear in countless people, especially those on the other side of the world , in the dark night. Being swept away by a bright, shimmering light bursting from the darkness didn't seem like a very reassuring thing.
Especially now, at a time when the whole world is witnessing the actions of the Glorious King through the media, this unrest has intensified. Many conspiracy theorists seized this opportunity to spread their rumors. And it must be said that their timing was very opportune. At this moment, they were able to easily create panic in people's hearts.
Ultimately, they didn't know what this giant god was doing, so no one could say whether that beam of light was good or bad. Humans are a species that never hesitates to speculate about the greatest evils in others. That's why they readily believed these conspiracy theories at the time.
Theories about the destruction of God, Loki theories, and the coming of the apocalypse spread rapidly on the internet. And the proliferation of these claims became so widespread that no government could hide them.
This situation was dangerous for the ruling class, but even more dangerous was the colossal God, the Bright King himself. What does it mean to be tens of thousands of meters tall? It means he is taller than any mountain peak in the world, and even the deepest ocean trench cannot conceal his existence.
And this being was so tall that it baffled all the scientists in the world , driving them bald and exhausting all their brain cells as they tried to understand it; who had come to this world without the slightest warning or rumor ? This in itself was a huge problem.
How did it come about? Why did it appear on Earth ? What exactly is its nature? Countless national organizations and private institutions began to ponder this question. Compared to the answer "God," this group of people clearly preferred to believe that the Bright King was an alien.
The governance of this world ultimately rests on science, not theology. Therefore, rulers were more inclined to believe the answer "Aliens" than "God." And like "God," using the term "Aliens" could explain everything before them.
However, whether he was a god or an alien was unknown, but the Bright King had undeniably caused widespread panic. But the panic didn't last long; someone realized something was wrong.
The first to discover this were patients in hospitals. Regardless of whether their illness was mild or severe, and regardless of the doctor's diagnosis , everyone suffering from pain felt the pain rapidly disappear from their bodies. Like white snow under the scorching sun , the pain vanished quickly without a trace. At the same time, it was as if the health they had long lost had returned to their bodies.
Patients who had shown pronounced symptoms were now showing no signs of illness, and even those who were terminally ill, confined to bed or wheelchairs, were getting up to the astonishment of doctors and nurses .
They shouldn't have possessed such physical strength; the disease had already disfigured them beyond recognition. More accurately, many were actually just a step away from falling into the arms of the God of Death .
But now a miracle had happened. They had escaped the clutches of the disease and regained their health. And this was the healthiest kind of health.
This wasn't unique to them; it was the same all over the world . The disease moved away from them; that beam of light made the body of everyone who touched it healthier. This was true health, a health where one could feel everything in their body functioning powerfully with just a deep breath.
Someone shared this news, and it was something everyone could relate to!
Thus, almost instantly, the entire world was swept into a frenzy.
A miracle, a wonder created by God. This fact was immediately accepted by people all over the world . And at the same time, there was an almost fanatical explosion of emotion in humanity.
A real God had descended to Earth and performed the greatest miracle in history. What could be more unbelievable than that?
