You are not God (6) – Republic of Korea Salvation Church accommodation

[100%: Complete love from Kangsan]

I looked at her shortcomings and ended up exhaling admiration.

“… … That’s amazing.”

“Thank you. They say that love has no borders.”

We took a pause to stop the divergent conversation for a moment.

After a brief pause, I made eye contact with her again and spoke.

“Realistically, it would be a very difficult path.”

“Well, since even the dead rise again, is it a big deal for siblings to get married?”

“Perception does not change that easily.”

I smiled softly while looking at the Republic of Korea’s citizen ‘Gang Bada’.

“It is a very difficult road to walk in the Republic of Korea. You-”

“Ahh! I can’t hear you! It’s exactly what I thought~!”

Kang Bada covered her ears and shook her head.

I was momentarily speechless at the unfamiliar reaction.

When she saw that I had become quiet, she took her hands away from her ears.

“It’s no use saying that to me a hundred times a thousand times. Anyway, my brother has no intention of going to One Mind Salvation Church.”

“You are saying that you will come only when San comes.”

“And judging by your face, the possibility is zero.”

She decided lightly and stretched out her finger to point at me.

“So stop trying in vain and go back to paradise or something. I’m telling you this because I can’t keep my mouth shut after receiving something.”

“The most important thing in the country is tomorrow, so why are you leaving?”

“So whatever you say on that broadcast is useless.”

I tilted my head at the confidence filled in her words.

“Why is that so? We also prepared quite a bit.”

“Ha- Most of the people who remain in the Republic of Korea are people who have been with my mother since the beginning. My brother, who joined in the middle, is like that. Someone betrays the group.”

“You have a strange amount of faith in number 2.”

So bizarre.

Kang Bada met my gaze and spoke one after another.

“Yes. Anything you say to a group that has such a strong belief in their mother will be met with contempt. Do you understand?”

“What do you think, trying to be quite objective?”

“Your mother deserves it. Everyone who saw your mother’s dedication and effort would say that, right?”

I searched through the pupils of the river and sea that said so.

Like the ‘proof of faith’ that only I can see, there may be two traces left in the river and sea.

“… … There are many extraordinary abilities in the world. You-”

“Okay! I understood it right away!”

The river and sea cut off my words again.

I wiggled my eyebrows and glared at her quietly.

She said, shrugging her shoulders calmly.

“That could be true. But what does it matter? The results of what my mother did remain. Didn’t you gather people like that too?”

I looked into her eyes again as she asked that question.

… … Maybe it’s not a skill.

I let out a laugh and shook my head.

“You’re smart.”

“Thank you. It’s all because I resemble my brother. Anyway!”

She said with wide eyes.

“I hope you take that Bulyeosi and go a little further away! Aren’t you sending people away because you think there’s no hope for them?”

Kang Bada finished what she had to say and turned her back without even listening to my answer.

“Ahh! I don’t know-! It’s enough for me to say this much!”

I stared at her back without any response.

“… … .”

The strange smile did not leave my mouth.

***

It has a grand and solemn structure, as if it were indeed the work of a system.

The ‘Parliament’ is made of chiseled white stones.

I naturally exhaled admiration and stared at the seats surrounded by a semicircle.

Clearly, just by looking at the structure, you could tell where the system got its motif.

White National Assembly.

Two sofas placed in the space where the chairman would normally be seated.

I leaned back comfortably and swung the council around again.

“There are a lot of empty seats.”

Even though everyone in the country is seated, the seats are still empty for a long time.

“There was an accident recently.”

A soft rhyme heard from the sofa next to me.

When I turned my head, there was Ha Chae-kyung smiling, looking at the main culprit of the incident.

Instead of the casual clothes she wore just the day before, she wore an office look similar to Seong Ga-eul.

indeed.

I swallowed my exclamation as I continued to look at the gigantic presence that caught my eye.

“But you suddenly became quite rough.”

Her gaze turned to the left seat where the Salvationists were gathered.

The vigilantes and Seong Ga-eul barely filled the first row.

Among them, fully armed vigilantes holding maces were sitting with their backs straight.

“The system must have clearly announced that violence is prohibited.”

“Well… … .”

He stretched out his tail and smiled slightly.

The awakened people on the Minguk side who were listening to our entire conversation flinched.

thud-! thud-!

Vigilantes pounding the floor with their feet as if to fight against the Republic of Korea.

The peaceful atmosphere that had continued until now suddenly becomes heavy.

“It’s fun. He suddenly revealed his true colors.”

“The price for violating the ban may be a simple point fine. Salvation Church is full of gold.”

“Then we’re not bad either. The title immediately comes to mind. ‘The cult leader who falsely called God reveals his true colors.’”

ah-! Did you enjoy yesterday’s broadcast?

I also responded with a smile as the smile continued smoothly without any disturbance.

The younger brother and the older brother block the brothers who keep shaking their bodies and trying to jump out from Minguk’s side.

When I look at him and smile, his eyes become bloodshot.

“I saw it well. So I should have dressed up like you and come out. I only have this one piece of clothing.”

“You look good together.”

“You too.”

“… … Well then, shall we begin?”

In this jagged atmosphere, she cleared her throat loudly.

All citizens and awakened people of the Republic who filled the National Assembly.

And the vigilantes and the deputy leader were in the audience.

“Nice to meet you, number 1. No.”

The main event of proof planned by Minguk’s representative Ha Chae-kyung.

It was the beginning of ‘I want to know God.’

“Han Gu-won, the leader of the One Mind Salvation Church.”

Ha Chae-kyung smiled softly and gestured forward.

“Please say hello to the citizens of Seoul who will be watching the broadcast this evening.”

The front with no cameras or anything.

But everyone knew.

The system must be recording this scene.

“… … .”

I smiled softly as I looked straight ahead without saying anything.

Ha Chae-kyung continues the process while looking at me like that.

“I think there are many citizens who became aware of the One Mind Salvation Church after seeing an advertisement broadcast on the neutral power ‘broadcast’ in recent years.”

She continues speaking clearly with her unique singing-like rhyme.

“The first thing that occurred to me after watching the advertisement was that One Mind Salvation Church gave the same feeling as the pseudo religions I had seen in the past.”

“You’re doing a good job.”

“Thank you. In that sense, the first question I would like to ask the head of a suspicious new religion that suddenly appears is one question.”

She took a deep breath, garnered attention, and opened her mouth again.

“What are you?”

Is this a real god who came down to a broken world?

A question that strikes at the core from the beginning.

I smiled vaguely and answered her question.

“I guess it depends on the perspective of those who see me.”

“I obtained an item that is completely different from what you said.”

A rhyme that continues as if it had been waiting.

She took out a familiar book from her inventory.

“Salvation Church believers call this book the ‘Book of Salvation’ and always carry it with them.”

She opened the book, showing the ‘Book of Salvation’ straight ahead, as if she was showing it to the camera.

“’Look at the single sun that has bloomed with the purest faith.’, ‘He who alone will judge you has come.’”

Ha Chae-kyung reading a passage from Chapter 1 of the Book of Salvation.

“These are too noble modifiers to refer to humans, Han Gu-won?”

Ha Chae-kyung continued to elaborate as she turned the pages.

“Is it because you feel so familiar with the phrases, tone, and content? Is Han Gu-won the son of Jesus? Did the One Mind Salvation Church succeed Catholicism?”

A slightly nod of the head as if demanding an answer.

“The mindset and actions you need to have for happiness are bound to be similar. We are living in an era where we have lost and forgotten that naturalness, and that is why I only raise my voice.”

“The content is too crude to be said to have such a noble meaning?”

Ha Chae-kyung asked me as she flipped through the Book of Salvation.

“If a book is perfect, does that mean the people in it are also perfect?”

“There is a high tendency for that to happen, right?”

“I know of one case where it isn’t?”

I smiled and made eye contact with her.

“And they worship Jesus, not the Bible.”

that.

I continued to point to the ‘Book of Salvation’.

“It is just a passage connecting believers and me. Look at your hands.”

The finger pointing to the Book of Salvation was pointed down.

“So I didn’t do it?”

Ha Chae-kyung, who had been following my finger with her gaze, shook her head.

“You make funny puns. Just like the representative book of the Salvation Church.”

Ha Chae-kyung, waving the ‘Book of Salvation’, smiled softly.

“I know some doubts about the great God of Salvation Church who came to our country like that.”

Ha Chae-kyung slightly turns her head and stares at someone.

As I follow her gaze, I see a confused face.

Kang San is quietly looking at me.

“I hope citizens first realize that this is just a suspicion. If Han Gu-won says it’s not true, it’s not true.”

I noticed Ha Chae-kyung’s trick and smiled.

A strategy that has always been lethal and effective, whether you realize it or not.

Negative.

“The last verse of Chapter 1 of the Book of Salvation is impressive. ‘It will be colored with the light of salvation.’ Since he is such an amazing person, he must have colored everyone with the light of salvation, right? Are there people you killed because you didn’t like them?”

Peek – Ha Chae-kyung shrugged her shoulders and added as she looked at her with a smile.

“By any chance, you wouldn’t say that only those without sin should throw stones, right? I am a human, and you are the Messiah who came down to save the world.”

if.

She asked with a grin.

“Aren’t you God?”

I laughed heartily and shook my head.

The laughter that continues for a while fills the council with silence.

He slowly stopped shaking his head and made eye contact with Ha Chae-kyung.

“You prepared a lot.”

“… … That’s too much praise.”

We really tried to capture the essence of modern media like our Salvation Church did.

“Didn’t I tell you? We are quite similar. But.”

I took a moment to catch my breath, imitating her.

And then he stood up smiling brightly.

“There is one thing you are mistaken about.”

He said to Ha Chae-kyung, waving one finger as if shaking the Book of Salvation.

god.

“The God you speak of is not one who accepts such complaints.”

It was always like that.

“God is not something that can be proven.”

“God is not a being that begs for faith.”

The essence of God has always been like this.

“God always punished those who did not believe in him.”

A being who brought down ten plagues on those who did not believe.

He turned the city into a sea of water and the people who cursed him into spiders.

“An entity that brought disaster due to swarms of locusts, flies, and pestilence.”

A being that imprints its existence like that.

“That is the essence of the being you call God.”

A shaking sound that breaks the silence.

The awakened people on the Republic of Korea sensed the crisis and stood up.

So the vigilantes rise up in response.

─────.

However, I took no action and just waved the council around.

The awakened people of Minguk come into my gaze and Kang San sits in his seat and looks at me until the end.

I looked at Ha Chae-kyung one last time and whispered.

“But.”

I repeat myself again, filled with her pupils.

“Words have a strange magical power.”

you are not god

Sigh!

The doors of parliament were wide open.

The tense tension is broken and the sound of countless footsteps enters.

All eyes in the council turn to the door and exhale in shock.

Tap- tap- tap-

Citizens of the Republic of Korea, wearing white Shinto robes, complete their civil registration and enter the National Assembly.

“So, let’s change it together.”

Through harmony, not violence.

“Peacefully, democratically.”

To the democracy you love.

Now she, who had been scanning the system window, looked up at me with trembling eyes.

I just repeat it to her again.

“Didn’t I tell you.”

That we will share our fate.

you are not god

END.
