Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

'So he's already a spirit of the dead.' St. Peter felt relieved...

Perhaps we should thank this god, because his death was so easy and painless that he didn't realize immediately that he had died in battle.

He only killed his body, but not his soul...

The world that allowed him to open his eyes again was like giving him a second life, a second chance at life.

“Indeed—you are a merciful God!” The next moment, St. Peter knelt down and couldn’t help but praise the God’s mercy.

Even if he didn't value his own life or death, being granted a second life and ending it so mercifully was a blessing in Saint Peter's eyes...

Since it is a favor, we should express our deepest gratitude with a sincere heart.

"Welcome to the afterlife—to my world—Disciple of God."

"No need to thank me... All those I kill will become part of my millions of troops, and will be incorporated into this Hall of Heroes. For those with faith, this place is no less than heaven or hell. So—do you now realize that you are being enslaved by me?"

It was as if God was asking with a light laugh, 'Now that you know everything, are you still grateful?'

However, faced with these words that could suddenly silence the air and create a tense atmosphere.

Saint Peter, standing below, lowered his head even further, perhaps lost in his own thoughts.

Perhaps due to preconceived notions, St. Peter exclaimed, "Truly—merciful God!! Even those who defy you and are heretics are given the same love?!"

St. Peter's words surprised even the Night on the Throne! No one expected St. Peter to have such an attitude.

Although he was indeed interested in subduing Saint Peter, he never showed any signs of it, nor did he make any indication of it.

Why are you starting to self-conquer? Where exactly did you see his... 'mercy'?

Although surprised, Ye's expression remained unchanged.

However—here, the night is an omnipotent being, and it quickly understood Saint Peter's thought process.

The conclusion is simple—ignoring the facts and only looking at the result—it is undoubtedly arrogant.

So—subconsciously placing himself in the lower position of Saint Peter, he tried to see the problem from the perspective of the night out of respect, and finally came to this conclusion.

—This is a ruler more powerful than any other being in the world, yet he allows believers in other gods to gain a second life after death? That's simply too merciful!

At least their world's God wouldn't do that; he would crush the soul and send it to be forged and tortured in flames for ten thousand years!

This Hall of Heroes may indeed be heaven and hell, but it is also a symbol of God's love, a beacon of salvation that equally saves all beings in the world!

If we're talking about hell—isn't their world's paradise also hell?

In the world of fairy tales, the poor may yearn for heaven, but the pleasure-seekers may prefer hell. Hell in fairy tales is not a place to punish the wicked; to different people, 'heaven' and 'hell' are merely metaphors.

Any place you like, no matter what it looks like, can be called paradise.

With such a level of understanding, Saint Peter was naturally not frightened by the true nature of the Golden Demon City. Whether he would suffer in another world was secondary; here, even his soul had indeed begun a second life!

What convinced St. Peter even more that this was a manifestation of the night's mercy, rather than its cruelty, was another reason, well...

Following St. Peter's gaze, Night looked down at the Holy Spirits of the Bible system.

So that's how it is. It's because, to St. Peter, it's the same group of saints and saintesses standing in the Temple of the Heroes who seem to be shining brightly!

At this moment, St. Peter was both gentle and radiant. His soul was as noble as a small sun!

That's right—the Holy Spirits of the Bible system, who served as the backdrop, did a great job!

Anyone who sees those saints and goddesses standing solemnly and upright on both sides would surely have the impression that the god who governs these beings must be a benevolent and gentle god.

Chapter Fourteen: True beauty is a world where humanity no longer needs gods!

After St. Peter appeared in this hall, none of the spirits spoke, but occasionally someone would cast a curious and kind glance at them.

This is a miraculous meeting of biblical systems from two vastly different universes, spanning centuries.

However, even among saints, there were still subtle differences. At least in their attitudes, these saints left a very good impression on Saint Peter.

As mentioned earlier, the disciples in the fairy tale world are all quite unworthy of their names.

Although the disciples often presented themselves as kind and gentle as they walked the earth, they actually harbored great resentment and disdain and arrogance towards humanity. Their kindness was a form of charity given from a superior perspective.

Like the Greek gods, when they think you're good, they'll reward you, and you have to accept that reward!

If you don't, you'll offend me! Then I'll teach you a lesson for your ignorance and arrogance!

However, the saints and saintesses of the Moon World are very humane and never claim to be saints. They truly care for every ordinary person equally.

According to the self-conscious and shy blonde 'country girl' standing in the crowd right now, she's just an illiterate country bumpkin and doesn't deserve the title of saint.

If we apply this to the saints of today, it means that they all feel that they are no different from ordinary people, and that their lives are no more precious than those of ordinary people!

The people here are all truly noble souls!

It is precisely because one can sense the radiant soul within those saints and saintesses, which is the same kind of true goodness they seek, that they possess the same spiritual brilliance, while being devoid of any indifference or arrogance that comes with excessive divinity.

Even though it was hard to explain why the saints from another world, who were also saints, would have such subtle differences from them, they still caused Saint Peter a psychological shock and awe upon their first meeting.

It was as if tiny seeds were quietly taking root in my heart.

To be honest, not only in comparison between gods, but even in comparison between saints, their world seems to be inferior.

……

While St. Peter was observing these heroic spirits, the heroic spirits were also observing St. Peter.

Because of the blueprint for the universe that Night had previously unfolded, the heroic spirits in the inner world also witnessed the conversation between Night and Saint Peter, and temporarily gained some understanding of the current situation through their own imagination.

Their Lord has brought their world to another… [universe]? Although I am awestruck by such power, the thought that it is the divine might of the Lord makes it seem justified.

And the Lord even 'invited' Saint Peter from other universes?

How could they not recognize the gatekeepers of the Kingdom of Heaven, whom the Lord has decreed?! How could they not know them?

If they hadn't known that the Lord had a plan to liberate this world and bring true love and goodness to it, seemingly to wage war against the God of this universe, and that the Saint Peter before them was nominally their enemy... the heroic spirits might have been more friendly towards this Saint Peter from another world.

That's right—they had already heard the Lord and St. Peter's conversation, in which they made no secret of their desire to snatch their world from the hands of the God of this world.

Even though they overheard Night's conversation with Saint Peter, and even though Night didn't care about the Heroic Spirits' opinions or need their combat assistance, the Heroic Spirits still didn't doubt Night's stance in the face of this situation...

After all, compared to the unfamiliar gods of this other world, they understand the gods of their own world better, and choose to believe in the gods of their own world and fight for them!

Meanwhile, looking down at St. Peter, whose attitude was unexpectedly friendly.

Night spoke: “Very well—my love is all-encompassing, so Saint Peter—even if you are Saint Peter from another world, I am still willing to forgive you and open the gates of the Hall of Heroes to you…—you have one chance to choose whether to submit to me.”

"At that time, depending on your attitude, I will consider whether to forcibly control your body and participate in the final holy war."

Ye made no attempt to conceal his despicable methods and schemes, his calm and composed gaze as if he were discussing something as simple as eating and drinking.

His ruthlessness in dealing with enemies only made St. Peter admire the majesty of this God even more.

Despicable?

There's nothing despicable about it. Since they're enemies, it's normal to treat them however they're treated.

As a god who rules the entire world, one needs not only benevolence but also thunder and storms. If one is to bear all evil but cannot even be ruthless enough to surpass those great evils, how can one be called a demon king?

but--

Do you want to submit?

Saint Peter did hesitate for a moment. If it were a god from another mythological system, he wouldn't have needed to hesitate for even that moment, since they would all be God...

But the other party is definitely not our God.

Just as honest St. Peter was about to refuse this kindness, even though the consequences of such a refusal would likely be dire.

"I cannot attack my god. If you insist that I do so, then please use your great divine power to control me yourself!" This was neither a direct refusal nor an agreement.

This clever answer...did not anger Night and the other heroic spirits.

If Saint Peter so easily agreed to submit, even if the Night is the master of another world, he would still be despised and looked down upon.

Night: "Did you choose to reject me, Peter, out of faith or out of loyalty?"

He now realized that St. Peter's resistance was much less than he had imagined.

St. Peter closed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the past and the years God had spent on earth, and then said, "Neither...it's probably a promise."

"Christ promised me on the day we met that I would be his friend forever, and that he would lead me to witness a beautiful world that he built—a world that encourages people to do good."

Night: "So that's how it is. You believe in the voice of your heart."

Upon hearing this, Ye smiled instead.

This scene stunned St. Peter, leaving him somewhat puzzled...

Although he spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart, "Don't you think this is extremely rebellious?"

"Outrageous—do you mean that you, as God's apostle, do not believe in God? Or do you think that I, also a god, would feel your anger and resentment because of your disobedience?"

Suddenly—a hearty and refreshing laugh rang out from the temple, as if it had been a long time since such a funny dialogue had been heard, almost making the night burst into laughter.

then……

Night: "If a god is angry because humans don't believe in him, then he is no different from a mortal. Just as some gods see humans as no different from humans see monkeys. Gods themselves are nothing more than more powerful monkeys in the eyes of humans."

"From the past to the future, what humanity has always longed for is not gods, but reconciliation with its inner self, a spiritual refuge. First and foremost, we must understand this—it's never that gods need believers, but that believers need gods. Don't get it wrong—Peter! True beauty lies in a world where humanity no longer needs gods!!!"

Chapter Fifteen: The protagonist who wanted to overthrow the entire civilization in every world he visited was, of course, pampered.

...！！！！

Deafeningly loud—and also extremely thought-provoking.

At that moment, when the last words of the night were spoken, not only Saint Peter below, but also the saints and holy spirits were stirred. They were all suddenly stunned, and after understanding the deeper meaning behind them, they revealed devout and fervent gazes.

I see--!

A sudden realization dawned on me—! True beauty is… a world where humanity no longer needs gods?

Is this what the 'true God' should look like in God's eyes?

At this moment, Martha, the Iron Fist Saintess, felt countless admiration and respect, and shouted, "So cool!"

"Gods are born because of human needs. When humans no longer need God's existence to protect them, God will withdraw from the stage of history and hand it over to humanity itself... What you desire is never to rule all of humanity, but to see humanity create its own infinite future!"

Such a god is just too cool!

How could this not further corrupt the burning faith of a young girl?

Joan of Arc, on the other side, also blushed; as a saint, she was never short of empathy.
