At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

If one of the two sides loses, they cannot counterattack for three thousand years.

This is the "three thousand years of war between good and evil" in the ancient Persian legend.

And Angra Mainyu was eventually thrown into the bottom of the dark world by Ahura, and stayed in the darkness for a full three thousand years.

"Three thousand years... so long!" Thinking of Angra Mainyu staying in the darkness for such a long time, the young man took a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

According to the human concept of time, it is an immeasurable long time.

Not to mention being in such a terrifying darkness, staying in any place for 30 million years without being able to go out will drive people crazy.

Unlike the young man, the God of War noticed that the loser could not counterattack.

During the time when Angra Mainyu was bound by the bet, the good god might have already done what he wanted to do!

Sure enough--

Soon the God of War and the young man saw in the epic that Ahura began to act.

He understood that Angra Mainyu would not give up so easily, and would come back after three thousand years.

In order to make the opponent's challenge fail again, he decided to build a colorful world with millions of creatures in this originally chaotic and invisible universe, so that those creatures and himself can protect this bright and warm universe together.

Ahura first wanted to create the sky...

He hoped that the sky could be as brilliant as metal, so he created the sky with a bright material like metal.

After the sky appeared, the world began to brighten. (The sky is the first creation of the material world. The spiritual world is the seven holy spirits.

In contrast, there are seven evil gods, but for unknown reasons, only five of them remain, becoming the five demons.)

Then, Ahura, who felt that the world was not bright enough, created celestial bodies, so there were 6.48 million stars in the sky.

After completing the birth of the sun and the moon, he was too tired to rest for five days, and then created streams, rivers, and the sea in the next fifty days.

He stayed for five days, but one-third of the world's area was occupied by sea water.

He began to create the earth, followed by plants, animals... the six elements, and finally the primitive human Kaiyumorz.

"The God of Creation——!?" Everyone looked at the description in shock.

Hermitos and the God of War did not completely believe this legend.

The God of War shook his head.

Even if you believe in the existence of the creator-level gods in No Game No Life Zero, you can't believe in the creation of the world.

Hermitos would not believe it even more.

Andersen stated at the beginning about the myths of each system in the epic that

Different mythological systems will have different legends because of the self-compilation of the gods.

Many of them are suspected of exaggeration...

The sun god Ra is also the god of creation.

It is impossible for one world to have two gods of creation!

But it is possible to create living beings...

However, 6.48 million stars are too exaggerated and scary.

The God of Alchemy could not imagine how powerful the divine power would be to complete so many stars in just a few days.

Even if each star is as big as a meteorite, it is not something that humans (gods) can do!

... On the other side.

In the past three thousand years, Angra Mainyu has been accumulating strength.

In the blink of an eye, the agreed time was up.

So Angra Mainyu led an army of countless demons and monsters to the surface of the earth.

... At this time, primitive humans had not yet begun to multiply.

The earth did not have enough power to resist this evil god.

Ahura had to transform Sirius into a warrior and a Pegasus to fight against him.

In this battle, Angra Mainyu brought disasters of death, aging, toxins, and plague to the earth one by one.

All the creatures that Ahura had created before also died one by one.

Ahura quickly reacted and spread the holy water full of vitality and hundreds of herbs for curing diseases to the earth to fight one by one.

Then, from the first sea he created, the Urukasha Sea, a tree gradually grew.

All kinds of life can be born on the tree.

Ahura called it the Saya Tree and the spirit bird the Saya Bird to fight against Angra Mainyu's dark army.

From the Urukasha Sea, a kind of white home tree was born to fight against time and aging, to fight against Angra Mainyu's power to accelerate the flow of time and make everything age.

Angra Mainyu asked the giant-eyed frog to eat the white home tree, and Ahura created a kind of carp that can survive tenaciously without any material, specifically to protect the roots of the white home tree.

In this way, Ahura and Angra Mainyu kept creating various things - countering each other's moves.

Until the evil god Angra Mainyu was defeated again -

People finally saw the mention of primitive humans again in the epic.

At this time, the primitive man had gradually become weak due to the constant invasion of Angra, and finally he could not bear the pain and torture, and finally died thirty years after he came to the world.

Ahura sent the life seed of this primitive man back to the earth for preservation.

Unexpectedly, tender shoots were born, and finally formed the shape of two people.

The tender grasses intertwined and approached each other, grew up little by little, and finally a pair of men and women appeared.

After the man and woman got together, they gave birth to a pair of twin babies.

That was the first ancestor of mankind in ancient Persian mythology.

However--

From the time they saw the first generation of primitive people being tortured to death by disease, those who read the epic have been blown away.

‘Human—

He was destroyed once by that evil god Angra Mainyu! ? ’

Chapter 786 The complex relationship between good gods and evil gods requires the existence of evil!

Although there was only one primitive man in the first generation, it sounds a bit ridiculous to say that mankind was wiped out once because of this.

But that person was tortured to death by the disease brought by Angra Mainyu, which has a different meaning.

And on the other side——

Hermitus did not believe that Ahura had created humans.

As the only race without gods during the war, how could the human race have a creator?

If we say that the primitive man was the first human being in the mythological system of ancient Persia, this understanding is almost the same.

In his eyes, the struggle between the good god Ahura and the evil god Angra Mainyu also became...

‘...Two very powerful main gods simultaneously found a fertile land suitable for establishing their own gods.

When the dispute persisted, they finally got into a fight. ’

Eventually, they evolved together into the legend of the supreme god of the mythological system of ancient Persia!

There is naturally a reason why he thinks so——

In the epics that have appeared so far, there is either the only god, the god-king, the creator, or the sun.

In all major mythological systems, there is a unique and supreme existence.

But in this mythological system, there are two gods who are opposite to each other, with not much difference in strength.

The God of Alchemy and the God of War have already vaguely realized why this mythological system adopts the "dualism of good and evil" as its cosmology.

Isn't it these two powerful gods who represent the extremes of good and evil?

This is a myth derived from the existence of those two gods.

...continue reading to the back of the epic.

Newborn babies are very cute.

Ahura was also very happy to see it.

However--

The original human beings were not divided into good and evil.

The twins' parents, Marcia Gu and Mathiuana, actually ate their own children.

This shocked Ahura, who suspected that Angra Mainyu deliberately aroused the evil in people's hearts.

So he got rid of the evil in the two people... and turned them into a generous father and a kind mother, so that humans could reproduce from generation to generation.

Angra Mainyu, the God of Darkness, no longer has any ability to prevent the reproduction of human beings. There are more and more people on the earth. They are migrating to various parts of the world while passing on their ancestral lineage. Some have crossed the mountains and some have crossed the ocean. The world There are traces of human beings everywhere.

And so the history of mankind began.

However……

‘Do you think this is the truth of the matter? ’

A rhetorical question popped up.

At that time, people all over the world thought that this was the truth. People all followed the description in the epic and subconsciously believed that the original couple would eat their children because of Angra Mainnu's bewitchment.

The moment they saw this sentence, their expressions suddenly froze and froze.

'What's the meaning? ’

"The God of Darkness who has kept his promise for three thousand years and has his own arrogant side Angra Mainyu...

Do you really care about Ahura's humble creation? "

"Did the evil deeds of Marcia Valley and Mathiuana really stem from Angra Mainyu, rather than their inherent evil?"

There was no affirmative tone, just a series of plain questions.

People's heartbeats skipped a beat, their pupils shrank and dilated, and finally they were suddenly awakened from sleep - thinking horribly about the meaning of those words.

Human beings... are inherently vicious? !

"How is it possible...!" Someone couldn't help but said loudly,

He couldn't accept that kind of thing and felt very uncomfortable mentally.

‘No normal parent would feed on their own children. ’

He couldn't agree with the three views he had cultivated over the years.

That kind of terrible thing...

But the next words that appeared in the epic stopped everyone's turbulent thoughts.

--'evil',

It shouldn't be something so small and ugly.

Real evil should be purer in nature and as noble as good.

Those are some of the most fundamental emotions that make humans human. Without these emotions, humans would be no different than animals.

Like the good god, the evil god also loves humans deeply——

Because of this deep love for human beings, he finally adopts a method like destroying human beings to achieve the extreme goal...an expression of love.

This is...the final test given to mankind by the demon kings.

...dong dong...!

Hearts beating violently, people looked at those last words in shock.

The demon god who loves the same deeply, shows a more extreme love by destroying human beings?

And when the words "the final trial of mankind" that had appeared in epic poems appeared in their field of vision again, the meaning they represented made people confused.

If you just say that you love human beings in words, when people react, they may become suspicious.
