After all, the force supporting the night is on the scale of an entire universe! And in the origins of the lunar world, he has already browsed through the complete history of humankind.

Although for Night, directly using brute force to counteract the omnipotent authority borrowed by Saint Peter is not a problem.

But they couldn't exert such overwhelming pressure! With only 1 unit of strength, they could deliver 10 units of output! This is the natural advantage of night!

On the other side, there was someone who didn't even know what human history was, clearly trapped in a blind spot of knowledge. Compared to Saint Peter, who could be considered an illiterate saint, even though he was eager to explore mysterious and unknown knowledge, he looked completely bewildered at this moment!

"what?"

He considered himself a learned Saint Peter in this universe, able to hear clearly the nouns Ye spoke, and understand each word individually, but he couldn't comprehend them when put together.

Even if one has some suspicions in their heart.

But—is the human history the other person speaks of the same thing as the human history he knows?!

'The Achilles Paradox—In human history—in the 5th century BC, Zeno proposed the concept of a race between a tortoise and Achilles, starting 1000 meters ahead of the latter, with the assumption that Achilles' speed is ten times that of the tortoise.'

'If Achilles runs 1000 meters after the race begins, and let the time taken be t, then the tortoise will be 100 meters ahead of him.'

'When Achilles finished the next 100 meters, his time was t/10. The tortoise was still 10 meters ahead of him.'

'When Achilles has run the next 10 meters, his time is t/100, and the tortoise is still 1 meter ahead of him.'

"And so on—Achilles can continue to approach the tortoise, but he can never catch it," Night concluded in his last sentence.

Although this paradox, created by the separation of time and space, will be overturned by Planck time, that is, after one Planck time, Achilles surpasses the tortoise.

Theoretically, there is no concept of perfection. Just as paradox restrains omnipotence, existence itself is meant to negate the rationality of omnipotence.

Even Zeno's concept of the tortoise has flaws, so this is a paradox that only the formula holds true.

However—the night wouldn't bother to explain that much to St. Peter.

He only needs to know that this concept, born from human history, and the paradox of the world's operating rules proposed by humankind, can indeed, in turn, influence omnipotence and this universe predetermined by God.

"Don't you find it interesting? If an omnipotent God created the world, then—based on the laws discovered by human history in observing how the world works—this omnipotent paradox still works in this world. What does that represent?"

Night indicated that he could try to continue using that omnipotent power to touch himself...

After discovering that as long as he didn't run away, the force would no longer affect him, Saint Peter, whose mind and body had been greatly impacted after hearing Ye's theory—still maintaining the appearance of a beggar, the posture of a middle-aged man with a scraggly beard, as if on a pilgrimage—his pupils contracted, and in the end, he could not suppress his desire to explore the truth, and silently and tremblingly slowly extended his palm.

His pristine white palms made the saint seem out of place with his current disguise, but no one cared about Saint Peter's current posture anymore; it didn't matter—what mattered was—when Saint Peter tried to touch the 'God' before him…

Finally, he found his palm close to the other's body, seemingly touching Ye's clothes, but in reality, there was an invisible space between them, as if they could never catch up.

The concepts of time and space form an unbreakable conceptual barrier within this subtle distance, completely shutting him out from the outside world and the universe.

Experiencing this completely calmed, tranquil stream up close allows one to clearly explore and observe the mysterious concepts within.

At that moment, the concept of the tortoise, symbolizing Zeno, clearly emerged in his eyes.

Saint Peter: "...!! Impossible, it's actually true!"

What does this mean? !

A tremendous roar echoed in his mind, like thunder striking the night.

He knew all too well what this meant.

Is this world really created by God?

Even—lower mysteries can succumb to higher mysteries. Using such a simple principle to understand this, what was once a perfectly normal way of thinking will reveal a terrifying thing.

A being born from human history—a being called Paradox—capable of restraining omnipotent power!

If it is proven that it is not actually unnecessary, and is not another, more powerful, omnipotent authority used by this strange god before us.

Does that prove that the concepts that have emerged in human history even surpass the mythological history woven by God?

Wouldn't that prove that humanity's status—and even its standing on…

Above God—!!!

Boom~! ! !

It was as if they had discovered a huge, bottomless abyss, a pitch-black darkness capable of swallowing all the light in a saint's heart.

The goal is to lure him into depravity, into a state of immense panic, a crisis of faith, and self-doubt.

Even when he had the blasphemous thought that humans might be superior to God, he felt that he had gone mad or broken.

But the undeniable truth before him made it impossible for St. Peter to extinguish the seed of obsession and demonic possession within his heart.

He cannot turn a blind eye to the truth, but at the same time, he dares not admit such a truth at all!

Otherwise—that would mean something even more terrible.

for example--

"Are you thinking—for example—that the world didn't have gods at the very beginning, until the birth of humankind and the development of civilization... and that their fear and awe of the mysterious and incomprehensible phenomena in nature led them to imagine the existence of gods?"

“I can tell you for sure that in other mythological worlds outside this one, there is indeed a god of fire corresponding to flames, a god of thunder corresponding to thunder, a god of war corresponding to war, and a god of love corresponding to love. Your world is very special, with only one god—which, from the perspective of human history, happens to correspond to humanity’s deepest fear, the awe of all things, and the conceptualization of everything.” Night spoke of Saint Peter’s deepest fear.

——!

Chapter Eleven: Thoughts begin to wander aimlessly, tears stinging my eyes! The familiar light of God!

Therefore, God symbolizes 'omniscience and omnipotence,' representing the concept of the entire universe!?

If you follow this concept, it seems like everything can be explained.

But it was precisely because there was a definite, explainable conjecture that Saint Peter was even more sweating profusely!

We can't listen to this anymore! His faith, his spirit, are beginning to crumble.

He shouldn't have fallen into self-doubt, or even doubted the existence of his own God, because of some absurd conjectures.

But the one who uttered these words, which were even more terrifying than the whispers of the devil, was a mysterious being with power and unparalleled divine strength, comparable to that of God.

And there is that which truly does not require, which allows it to be clearly observed and understood.

Only the truth will not lie!

Even God has moments of anger, jealousy, and prejudice, a fact well understood by Saint Peter, who followed Him through His early trials.

Only truth can achieve true justice, revealing its true face equally to all who yearn for it.

It is precisely because of this trust, which is deeper than faith and has long been buried in the hearts of these truly learning disciples, with unchanging values ​​and underlying logic, that St. Peter is most easily swayed!

He wouldn't get angry and deny someone's conjecture just because it's too absurd or outrageous!

If Saint Joseph were here, he wouldn't listen to any of this. No matter how tempting the truth was, he would only feel that his mind had been deceived by the other party's magic, that he had been brainwashed and controlled by demons, and would resist accepting such new things.

Just like talking to fanatics about atheism or science is a pointless endeavor.

Looking at this moment, it's as if one is lost in the illusions of a saint, as if one can see countless truths and images flashing through one's mind, as if St. Peter is sinking into a deeper abyss of depravity.

Ye watched this scene with great interest, even feeling that he was being rather wicked, that he had actually made a saint begin to doubt the truth and everything he had always firmly believed in. It was quite an interesting thing.

He now gives off the feeling of an Outer God bewitching the native humans! However, considering that many of the Kree factions are simply a combination of God—a god who cannot be looked at directly, who is omniscient and omnipotent, mysterious, great, and incomprehensible, and so on.

In addition to being Bubble's biological daughter, Abby also has Puritan beliefs... making her a believer in God.

It already shares many similarities with the image of God, and with the origins of the night...

Given his current status as an outsider, he really does seem like an Outer God!

They are on par with the God of this universe, both being beings of great and immeasurable nature, capable of reaching the realm of omniscience and omnipotence within their respective universes, and attempting to transcend to the realm of omnipotence in the multiverse.

And without a doubt—to the God of the native gods, he is now the invader of this world.

Night: "Are you feeling fear and panic? Silence is the strongest evidence that you've begun to believe. However—there is no conclusive evidence that gods were born of humankind."

"Human history and mythological history are mutually observable existences. Which side, humans or gods, is the original source? Even now—having the identity of a human being and being regarded as the only god, I, with my dual perspective, cannot find the answer."

St. Peter's heart stirred slightly: "You...no, someone as great as you, are also unable to know the truth?"

Based on the other party's willingness to share the truth with him, even though he knew it was wrong, St. Peter couldn't help but use honorifics when addressing this foreign god.

That stems from the respect that should be given to the strong.

It had been so long since he had felt this sense of weakness, helplessness, and awe of the incomprehensible, yet it was also so invigorating, a mixture of fear and barely perceptible elation, excitement, and desire!

The desire to explore!

Night casually began, “Who knows—perhaps until the distant future, when humanity or divinity—transcends me and ends this concept as an eschatology, we can then reverse the process and prove who the true original text is.”

“Eschadenfreude?!” St. Peter keenly caught another unusual term.

That is, after he proposed this term!

The next moment, he saw—!!! He saw a stark contrast to the gentle, dignified, mysterious, and awe-inspiring deity he had seen before—a sharp gaze and a wild, unrestrained smile that gradually appeared on his face.

"I haven't even introduced myself yet—I am Saint Peter, a disciple of the God of this world!"

"Let me get to know you again! Remember this, disciple! Just like everything in the world, nothing is absolute. Just as the eternal sun will eventually set. Even the God who created the world could be a figment of the imagination of weak humans! Absolute things inevitably have absolute flaws—!"

"The end that has existed since the birth of all things—! Even the omnipotent have paradoxes, and naturally—the same end exists above the heads of both humans and gods! Manifesting as eschatology—bearing the name of the final trial of absolute evil! Before you lies the final peak that all heroes, great men, humans, and gods throughout history have had to face!"

Humanity's final trial—!! Human evil, Ragnarok—the true name revealed!

...When he uttered those words that night, and vaguely realized just how horrifying the nature of that thing truly was, St. Peter got goosebumps all over his body.

Then--

He finally understood that the being before him was neither simply a god nor simply a human being.

No wonder he could never see through the true nature of the creature during his observations, and could only ever see that it was an ordinary human being.

Simply because any words used to define this magnificent and overwhelming existence would be far too fragile! It is truly—incomprehensible, a monster cloaked in human skin (god's skin)!!

Eschatology, huh!

It's all over!!

And at that very moment, the magnificent starlight on the vast universe became even clearer!

Then—St. Peter's eyes were stimulated, as if stung, and hot tears streamed down his face. He suddenly froze!

Because from that vast cosmology, I saw things that were too incredible and awe-inspiring.

That's the blueprint for the universe—!!

The cosmic blueprint, both strange and familiar, was precisely what plunged Saint Peter into a state of mental confusion due to its familiar elements!

That is……

"God—oh God!!!"
