I Am God!

Aboard the Platinum.

On the bottom floor of the cabin, in the corner where cargo is piled.

The "little man" was playing the harmonica unique to the western region of Suinhall. It was the only place on the ship that was quiet enough, and as the second officer, he was qualified to enter and exit freely.

He leaned in the corner and blew vigorously, trying to put together a perfect song.

But the boat swings back and forth, always interrupting his rhythm and breath.

When the waves bumped the boat again, the harmonica suddenly slipped out of his mouth, even scratching the corner of his mouth.

The "dwarf" didn't say anything, but calmly wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then put the harmonica next to his mouth again.

However, when I put it on, I found that the blood flowed out again, and the harmonica was stained with blood.

He wiped the harmonica vigorously with his fingers, but he couldn't clean it.

The harder you push, the dirtier it becomes.

He had no choice but to wipe it with his clothes. As a result, the harmonica was not wiped clean, and even his clothes were stained.

The "dwarf" looked at the harmonica that couldn't be cleaned no matter what, and the embarrassed face reflected on the metal mirror embedded in the wooden case.

all of these.

As if to say.

Once some dirt is stained, it can never be wiped off.

For a moment.

The second officer of the Platinum went from expressionless to distraught and scared.

It was not a sudden change, it was only at this moment that the true emotions in his heart were revealed.

"Damn it!"

His body suddenly bounced up and hit the bulkhead on one side.

His face, which always looked optimistic and full of smiles, became extremely ferocious, and his eyes were so wide that they seemed to bulge out.

He grabbed the heavy barrel with all his strength and banged his head against the edge.

"Why!"

He exerted so much force that he broke his forehead, but he ignored it and continued to hit it one after another.

It was as if this collision of flesh and hard wood did not make him feel pain, but could relieve the anger, depression and uneasiness in his heart.

"Why is there no place for me in this world?"

"Why does everything always have to go against me?"

He wanted to shout at the top of his lungs, but in the end he could only hold back his voice and let out an indistinct growl.

"Why, every time I find a new place to live, I have to become a homeless beggar again."

"Why can't I get everything I want?"

"Why are you forcing me? I don't want much, I just want to find a place that belongs to me."

"A small... place that belongs to us..."

"That's it..."

Between the violent collision and venting, the "little man"'s mind resurfaced little by little.

He comes from the red clay province of Suinhall.

A place that was deeply imprinted by both the Abyss Order and the Silver Church is also a place with confusing and complex beliefs.

Whether it is a righteous god or an evil god, whether it is the god of wisdom or the god of life, or even those who pretend to be gods, they all spread faith in this land.

Not only that, but there are also those old nobles who are unwilling to take away their rights and those who try to disintegrate the kingdom are active here.

In addition, because it is close to the Ewell Route, countless maritime adventurers flock here.

And in that intertwined area of ​​all chaos, Red Earth City.

A little beggar who was only a few years old stood in front of a temple. He was wearing clothes full of dirt and one sleeve was missing.

The beggar’s hair was in clumps, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, and his dirty skin revealed the elasticity and smoothness of a child.

"So gorgeous!"

"Is this the temple of God?"

"It seems that what they say is true. God has everything in his kingdom."

It was the first time he came to Hongtu City, and he couldn't recognize which god's temple it was. He came here only because he heard people say that after death, people will go to the kingdom of gods.

There, mortals will get everything they want.

The man leaned on his side and told himself.

"dwarf."

“Don’t be afraid of death, for we are born into this world to suffer.”

"But it doesn't matter, because all our suffering will eventually pay off."

"Is there a kingdom of God waiting for us?"

The other party described to him what the Kingdom of God should be like, but he didn't understand anything and could only make sounds of admiration and longing.

But at this moment, the little beggar looked at the gorgeous temples and palaces.

It turned out to be very similar to part of the Kingdom of God that the man had described to him. It was also at this moment that he suddenly felt that death might not be terrible after all.

because.

It doesn't matter if this world is imperfect, there is another perfect world waiting for them.

The divine attendants in the temple came and went, and finally someone paid attention to him and asked him.

"Where do you want to go?"

Little beggar: "Let me take a look in advance at the place we will go to after death, which belongs to the kingdom of God."

The god's attendant smiled, but still asked: "Do you have a god you believe in? Which god's country do you want to go to?"

The little beggar said: "Any god will do."

But the god's attendant said: "Then you are destined to not be able to enter the kingdom of any god."

Little beggar: “Why, doesn’t God love the world?”

The divine attendant said: "But the premise is that you offer enough piety and receive God's blessing."

Little beggar: "So if you are not pious, God will not give gifts and will not love the world?"

The divine servant shook his head, turned and left.

But the little beggar chased after him: "Have you not said that without God's blessing, you will not be able to go to the Kingdom of God after death?"

The god's servant turned around and told the little beggar: "Only God's servants can enter the kingdom of God."

After the little beggar went back in despair.

“Can only servants of God enter the Kingdom of God?”

"Then what do we do?"

In the darkness, he walked through a secret passage that was accidentally discovered and only known to the underground world, and came to a shanty town outside the city where poor people lived.

But here there was a large group of the same beggars waiting for him. When they saw him returning, they immediately gathered around and shouted to him excitedly.

"faster."

"Where did you go?"

"Dwarf, a big shot is looking for you."

"Really, big shot."

The little beggar has seen it.

Because the man was standing far away, wearing bright clothes, and was incompatible with the dirty and smelly streets.

He stood there hesitantly, not daring to step forward, watching the man in silver-white robes walking towards him.

The man held his shoulders and showed an evil smile: "Congratulations, you have been selected to become God's apprentice."

The little beggar raised his head and his eyes lit up: "Which god is it?"

The man spread his hands and said in a longing voice: "The Silver God."

The little beggar asked: "Why?"

The other person replied: "Because you have been chosen by the will of death."

The little beggar looked at the man longingly, and asked him: "In this case, will I be able to enter the kingdom of God after I die?"

The other party replied: "Of course."

The little beggar said a little greedily: "Can I bring others with me into the kingdom of God?"

After hearing this, the other party lowered his head and looked at him.

His eyes were bright and he grinned.

"certainly."

"You can bring as much as you want."

The little beggar looked at the other person longingly, thinking to himself, the Silver God is really a generous god.

However.

The Silver God is indeed generous, but the generosity he gives is not the generosity the little beggar wants.

The branch of the Silver White Church is located in a cemetery. This is not the tomb of a big shot, but the burial ground for the poor and even the unknown dead.

In that dark cave, he saw the most tragic scene.

Deep in the gorgeous underground palace, there are corpses as far as the eye can see, and a large number of believers who follow the template of the corpse-eating insect.

This is not a palace of gods at all, but a cave of demons.

He roared in wailing, making a desperate sound.

"No, that's not the case."

"This is not the temple of God...this is not God..."

"You are fake, you are fake..."

"Ugh... ugh..."

As soon as the scene changed, he had become the apprentice of the Silver God.

He didn't know how he spent these years in such a state of confusion, and he also vaguely understood why none of the servants of the Silver God were normal.

The person who can successfully survive in such a horrible evil cave and officially become a god's servant.

It can only be a lunatic.

he thinks.

When he became a true servant of the Silver God, he might have become someone just like them.

There was a red light in his eyes, and an evil and crazy smile on his lips.

However, what he didn't expect was that this day did not come.

Because a group of people broke into this place.

In front of the corpses of the silver god's servants everywhere, they, a group of silver god's apprentices, raised their heads and saw a being wearing the robe of an Ouroboros ascending to the high platform.

After a period of dark strife by underground forces, the Silver Church in Red Earth City was destroyed by this group of people.

The little beggar was unmoved by the destruction of the Silver Church branch and just looked up coldly.

That man looked even crazier than the previous Godly Attendant of the Silver Church, and his whole body was full of madness, both in his words and in his movements.

"starting today."

"You are the believers of the abyss."

The little beggar did not expect that this group of beings called Abyss Cultists would actually recruit servants of his god.

He asked the people on the stage: "Is the God of Original Sin of the Abyss a real god? Is he willing to accept us?"

Finally, he asked again.

"Does He have the Kingdom of God?"

The Abyss Cultist replied: "The God of Original Sin!"

"It is an existence before the era, one of the oldest gods, and the greatest myth."

"He is the embodiment of corruption, the Lord of original sin."

“The abyss is his kingdom.”

The Abyss cultists danced and proclaimed the greatness of the God of Original Sin, and even took out the collection of books from the Church of the Silver God.

If what he said is not credible, then the Silver God Church calls him God, so there is no doubt about it.

Finally, the Abyss Cultist looked at everyone present.

"No matter who you are, you can choose to fall, and you will be accepted by the abyss."

This is the first time the little beggar has heard that such a thing exists in the world.

He asked the other party loudly with a twinkle in his eye.

“Can we enter the kingdom of God after the fall?”

The other party still answered affirmatively: "Of course, the abyss welcomes all degenerates."

The little beggar suddenly felt that this might not be a bad thing.

wrong.

This is a great good thing.

He could finally escape the clutches of the Silver Church and embrace the kingdom of gods again.

No matter which god's country it is, as long as it is a god, he wants to go there.

But then.

He saw the true face of the abyss during a group sacrifice.

What he saw was not a kingdom of light, but a dark and bottomless hole.

He saw.

Endless monsters struggled in the black mud or fire, crawling upwards while roaring in pain.

He was so frightened that he backed away and covered his chest.

"That is...the Kingdom of God."

"No, that's not the Kingdom of God."

"What the hell is that."

This picture was completely different from the Kingdom of God he had imagined.

The believers of the false god Silver God at least paint the kingdom of God beautifully.

The abyss in the eyes of the Abyss believers, the Kingdom of God in their eyes, is nothing more than naked ugliness.

In this way, they put their own desires and evils into their own hands.

Displayed in front of everyone without any care.

Human desires are not ugly, but when magnified to infinite depravity, they become daunting.

The dwarf little beggar looked at the Kingdom of God, and he immediately gave up his plan to enter the Kingdom of the God of Original Sin.

There was no relationship or similarity with the Kingdom of God that that person had described to him. He would rather disappear completely than fall into such a place.

Among the crowd, determination was revealed in his eyes.

"No."

"I can't go to that place, I can't go to that place."

"That's right, I can't fall into that."

"I can't die, no matter what I do."

On this day, he escaped from the Abyss Cult.

He narrowly escaped being chased by evil gangsters. Although he was small, he was extremely agile when he emerged from the hole in the ground.

He ran crazily and ran towards the beach.

At the end of the run, I held on to the broken wall of the ancient city wall and vomited.

"vomit!"

"vomit~"

He was vomiting profusely, but there was nothing in his stomach that could be vomited out.

The sun slowly rises from the distance, illuminating the sea, and the waves extend from the coastline to the end of the sky.

He wandered on the road to the seaside, not knowing where to go.

I don't know where I will end up in the end.

When he met the servant of the Silver God, he thought he had found the direction of the kingdom of God, but he did not expect that the so-called god in the end was not a god at all.

After meeting the believers in the abyss, he did find the direction of the Kingdom of God, but that kind of Kingdom of God was not the Kingdom of God he wanted.

He did nothing but became a depraved villain.

He wants to go to the wonderful country of God.

And now.

The only place in the world prepared for him.

Or the abyss.

Either.

It's purgatory.

He walked along the sea, his face full of confusion.

In the distance, the port of Hongtu City appeared.

The sun had just risen and there was a crowd of people crowding the pier.

The sun shone on the sails and bow, and someone stood there and shouted loudly below.

"The end of the sea."

"There is a new world, a new continent, a place full of gold."

"A place where poor people can become rich, where common people can become nobles, and where people can be reborn."

This time, he finally no longer believed in the declaration of the Kingdom of God.

He walked up to the man and asked: "Is that New World really as good as you say?"

The man said: "You will know if you go and see it?"

He said: "How do I know if you are lying to me?"

The man said: "It depends on the feeling!"

Judging from the feeling, he said this less like a captain and more like an artist.

at last.

He boarded one of the boats, and the man standing on the bow gave him a nickname.

The figure waved to him from a high place and called him.

"Hey, dwarf."

"Come up."

in the sun.

The sails are dancing, and the sea waves are bursting.

Wandering and aimless, he wandered inside and outside the city, unable to find a place to rest, and finally found a place of spiritual rest of his own.

Although the resting place is floating on the sea, I don’t know where it will go.

At this time, there were sounds of beating and shouting on the pillar ladder.

"Hey, dwarf."

"Come up."

In the bottom cabin of the Platinum, the "dwarf" finally stopped all his movements. He hurriedly climbed up and opened the hatch.

He saw the first mate "Treant" waiting for him above, and it seemed that he had been looking for him for a long time.

The first officer asked him, "What are you doing?"

He replied, "I'm sorting things out."

The first mate glanced at his forehead, pointed to the scars on it and said.

"What happened to your forehead?"

The "dwarf" said nonchalantly: "Oh, it's nothing."

"When the wave came over just now, I accidentally bumped into it."

The first mate "Treant" looked at the "dwarf" and stared at him for a long time.

This made the dwarf a little nervous. He thought there was something wrong with him, but he didn't expect to say it in the end.

"Wash and bandage, then go to the deck."

"The captain has something important to announce."

——

Breman stood on the top deck, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then exhaled it slowly.

The entire crew gathered below, looking up at him and awaiting instructions.

In this way, everyone watched quietly as Breiman finished smoking the cigarette.

Only then did he raise his head, look at everyone and said.

"God has sent me the complete oracle."

In an instant, everyone was talking about it.

They looked at Briman with curiosity and longing, waiting for what he would say next.

Just like Breeman before him.

Everyone is curious about what the end of the world will look like and what secrets there are.

Briman continued.

"The god we met before is the God of Nothingness under the Lord of Life."

"He rules over the vat world of the dominating gods."

"It was a brand new world, an unknown and mysterious world, a real but illusory world."

"We can find everything we want in that world."

"This is the secret of the end of the world."

"It's also what Normandin saw, but he didn't really understand what he saw in the end."

Briman spoke concisely and comprehensively, and gave a general introduction to the situation.

Finally, he expressed his decision.

"I'm ready to go to the end of the world."

"Accept the invitation of the God of Nothingness and enter his vat world."

"But those who embark on this path may not be able to return in a complete state. Even if I am the oldest person and the divine species, I do not have such confidence."

"so."

"If you are still nostalgic for this world, if you still have too much reluctance to let go, if..."

Breman seems to have many ifs, but in the end he got stuck here and didn't say the follow-up ones.

He just looked at his crew and spoke to them.

"If there is any if in your heart."

"Just stay here!"

"The tree people will take you on your way home."

Briman asked them as he straightened up, holding on to the railing.

"Who wants to set off with me?"

Bremen waited for a long time, but no one seemed to reply.

Breman nodded, it seemed that such a situation was also within his expectation.

"That's it."

"Farewell here."

Briman stood up and prepared to leave gracefully.

He will set foot there alone, traveling to the end of the world and another world.

At this time, the second "dwarf" stood up.

"Captain Breeman."

"What do you mean by another world?"

Bremen stopped and looked at the "dwarf" from a height.

"It's just another world."

"The little man" asked him, "What can we gain?"

Bremen: "We can spend a long time in it in the form of immortality."

"We can get a lot out of those times and years."

“A lot of things can be verified.”

"It is a country with infinite possibilities. It can give us everything, allowing us to obtain what we want to pursue in the changing years in an immortal state."

"But again."

"It could also take everything away from us."

"After all, time is the scariest thing in this world. It can't be seen or touched, but it can erase everything silently."

"None of us knows whether the one who returned last is still the one we used to be."

Bremen looked at everyone, his eyes meeting their eyes one by one.

"This will be an adventure that is too long for you to imagine, and I don't know how I will reach the end."

For a while.

Many crew members of the Platinum looked at their captain.

"Immortal?"

"Isn't that the power that only gods have?"

"In that world, can we also have the power of the gods?"

"Live in another world with eternal life?"

Everyone else is focused on immortality.

And if you can live forever, what can you do in another world?

The dwarf looked at Captain Briman. Under the raised sails, his figure was still as tall as yesterday, blocking the light of the sun, and as powerful as a hero in an epic myth.

At this moment, he was deeply absorbed in Breeman's words.

"With eternal life, enter another kingdom and gain everything."

"That's right."

"This is the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of God she told me."

He murmured, and then stepped forward to the front.

At this moment, he asked Breeman.

"Captain, is everything you said true?"

Briman didn't answer, just said.

"Do you feel it's true?"

For a while, the "little man" felt like he was dreaming back to yesterday.

He smiled, took a deep breath, and said.

"I trust you."

"Captain Breeman, I want to go with you."

The first enthusiastic registration of the "little man" also made other people present speak one after another.

"Go!"

"I have spent my whole life adventuring on the sea with so much worry and reluctance. Apart from this ship and you guys, there is nothing left."

"Let's go together... let's go together..."

Everyone was chanting and yelling for everyone to come together.

Finally, the first mate "Treant" who was originally scheduled to stay behind and take the others back, said after looking at everyone.

"In this case, I don't have to sail the boat back."

Briman looked at his ship and his crew.

He put his hands on the armrests and laughed.

"Then let's go together in the boat."

"go together."

"Go to the end of the world, and then to the other world."

Everyone cheered and threw their hats high.

The big ship sets off towards the black storm.

This is an adventure that spans countless thousands of years, a journey with no known return and end point.

And on the other side of the black storm.

It was as if the God of Nothingness had also heard the crew's desire and was responding to his call.

At this time, the storm actually dissipated, and the God of Nothingness came step by step from the end of the world.

Heavy snow was falling all over the sky, covering the entire sea surface.

Captain Briman did not dare to raise his head. He humbly saluted the empty god and expressed his request.

"O nothing god!"

"I ask to enter the vat world you carry."

The majestic god lowered his head, and under the sea of ​​clouds, the world in the vat above his head shone with light.

The Void Mother looked at the Platinum and Captain Breman.

"Can."

As soon as the words fell, the endless white snow completely submerged the Platinum.

The whole world turned into a piece of snow-white, and in that snow-white world.

The big ship Platinum slowly floated up, passed through the storm, and sailed towards the North Pole, towards the world in the vat.

As it gets closer, the stalwart god's shadow gradually turns into endless white, and the huge glass tank and the world inside are also infinitely enlarged until it gradually looks like a real world.

At least, this is the case in the eyes of those who want to enter the world in the vat at this moment.

The "dwarf" became an apprentice of a false god and was only one step away from becoming a real god. He also witnessed the terrifying sight of the abyss.

But all of that is far from being comparable to the existence that created the majestic scene in front of him.

He had never thought that there was such a being in the world who could put the world into his own glass jar.

"Really, another world."

"The world in a vat that dominates the gods."
