The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 246
Episode 247: The God Eater.
A huge mountain range that looks very tall even from a distance.
and.
I am ‘looking down’ at the mountain range.
‘…I guess this is it, right?’
It might have been embarrassing, though.
Fortunately, it’s something I’ve experienced once.
I was able to quickly figure out what the situation was.
‘It’s the same as when I read Chef Dasmur’s memories…’
Last time I saw it.
God’s body.
The thoughts emanating from that corpse were so strong that…
his memories flowed into my head.
The result is this.
I looked down at the scenery in front of me.
I thought it was
a huge mountain range that exists in a natural scene….
It was a little different.
‘A mountain range in the making.’
As if it was just made.
A planet that is empty everywhere.
There was no time to be puzzled by that appearance.
The body I am in.
‘I’ swung that huge hand against my will.
A transcendent sense of omnipotence that filled my entire body.
Let that overwhelming power exert some influence.
‘crazy.’
The ground rises above the empty land.
Water comes out from underground and creates a huge river.
Every time a being with absolute power lifts his finger.
A huge nature appeared in the empty space where there was nothing.
What is happening?
It wasn’t difficult to understand.
‘Creation of heaven and earth….’
And.
The ‘I’ who is causing this creation is probably.
That huge lump of flesh I saw in the basement.
When I saw it, only a piece of flesh remained and it was screaming in pain.
But that’s just an appearance that has been ruined.
‘Master of magic… Morzan.’
A being that shares its name with the world.
A being like Dasmur, who was the god of Dasmur.
The one who created the world…
the absolute god of that world.
‘…There was no god in the history of the Dwarven.’
The history that [the system] tells us.
When I saw the history written in their lab.
The Dwarven may have had faith.
Until their destruction, there was no trace of the intervention of a being who could be considered a god in their world.
They are just like us.
I wonder if it was a world without gods.
‘It wasn’t.’
There was a God.
but.
In the middle….
‘I just came close to extinction.’
It’s gone.
* * *
A thought entered my head.
That thought is regardless of my will.
That flesh was replaying the memories it had.
A god who creates heaven and earth by swinging his hands around.
I was staring blankly at that scene.
I was able to realize one thing.
‘The flow of time is different.’
Does it mean that the sense of time of transcendent beings is different from that of humans?
When I closed my eyes and opened them, the seasons had changed.
After a while, the flowing river water dried up.
‘A time that could possibly be tens of thousands… hundreds of millions of years.’
That huge amount of time.
It seems as if it was only a moment for the godhead who was the owner of this memory.
It passes by in an instant.
[The Great World of Magic – Morzan]
God succeeded in shaping the entire world.
He wanted to create races that would live on that world.
A huge, blue glowing hand.
Let the hand move one big time.
The earth trembles and rises, taking on the form of life.
A slow but wise race.
[Entiror]
A simple but brave race.
[Ougar]
A small but creative race.
[Dwarven]
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw that.
‘These are all the guys I saw in the underground mine.’
The owner of this memory I am currently experiencing was a being who could even create life.
‘crazy.’
and.
After seeing the creation of life.
One question arose.
This was something I had been curious about for a long time.
If creationism is correct.
If there is a God who created life.
‘What does God think of the lives he created?’
You could just look at it like a tool.
Or I thought there might not be any interest at all.
‘Are you saving it?’
The emotions felt by Morzan as he looks at those small, weak beings.
It was very warm.
‘…The gods of other worlds eventually let their children escape somehow.’
Although this is just my guess.
These guys called God might care a lot about their creations.
by the way.
I didn’t know that when I was fighting in the mine.
Looking at it like this, I wonder what this guy was thinking when he created those races.
I could roughly figure it out.
‘Harmony.’
Dwarven, full of creativity, lead the development of technology.
The wise Entyror decided how to use the technology.
The strong and diligent Ougar uses his skills to shape the world.
The original races were born that way.
Originally, after growing slowly.
‘Greater than that ‘Dwemorzan’…’
He was planning to establish a magic civilization.
* * *
but.
One day, the god of this world, ‘Morjan’, proceeded with creation.
Something strange happened.
Take a picture…
on the outer wall of the world.
A small gap appeared.
Damn….
‘What is it?’
The blue-lighting giant’s eyes turned towards that place.
I also looked at the gap.
If my prediction is correct, that phenomenon is…
a being with this overflowing sense of omnipotence.
‘It must be the reason it turned into a pitiful lump of flesh.’
yet.
Oh my gosh!
In the middle of the universe.
Something like a huge mouth appeared.
Kwasik!
This world and the outside world.
The barrier between them was bitten.
-…!
Let there be a hole in the barrier.
An entity from outer space creeps in from outside.
‘What is that?’
Because it is so huge and powerful.
A being that is difficult to even see at a glance.
I turned my gaze towards the being.
What kind of guy is this?
I wanted to check if this world was being attacked from outside the universe.
The moment I looked at that place…
‘…kruk.’
The sensation of my head being twisted takes over my whole body.
It feels like my eyeballs are going to fall out.
It feels like my brain is melting and just flowing out.
With a brain like mine, an ordinary human being.
You can understand.
Even looking at it is impossible.
It’s ridiculously huge.
A being filled with infinite information.
Not something I see myself.
Even though we are seeing it through the eyes of another godhead.
I was sure.
‘If you look any further, you will die.’
If you take a good look at that guy. I
could clearly sense
that I would no longer be alive .
the problem is.
‘You should turn your head.’
This is, after all, someone else’s memory.
That I can’t not see it just because I don’t want to see it.
something.
Absurdly huge.
Not only its size but also the concept itself is ridiculously large.
It continues to enter my brain through my eyes.
Quick.
A concept so vast that it is almost impossible to handle.
The sound of something in my brain being torn apart rings loudly in my head.
‘Dying?’
No matter what you do.
A death that cannot even be resisted.
‘So vain?’
My brain just exploded.
The very moment when it was about to explode.
[Warning!]
What appeared before my eyes as I was about to die…
[It was an excessively large being.]
[Be careful as overload may occur if you try to focus your eyes on too many things!]
It was a system window.
* * *
[Warning!]
[It is an excessively large entity.]
[Be careful as overload may occur if you try to focus your eyes on too many things!]
It suddenly appears before my eyes.
A clunky UI and message that obscured my vision, preventing me from turning my head.
‘Huh…!’
Thanks to that.
I could barely avoid seeing ‘that’.
The font is noticeably larger and thicker than usual.
Unlike usual times when the back was transparent enough to be seen clearly.
The status window’s transparency has been reduced to the point where the back side is only visible blurry.
It wasn’t difficult to understand the intention.
It’s so absurd that I feel like I’m going to laugh out loud, but maybe.
‘Is this guy protecting me?’
Normally, the status window would have disappeared immediately after reading it.
Even though I have now read all the messages.
Continue to remain. It was blocking my vision.
Although I barely escaped the risk of death.
Nevertheless, the fear still remained.
Even though it is clearly in someone else’s memory.
A chill down my spine and a feeling of cold sweat.
‘Is this enough just by looking at it?’
Just by looking at it.
I almost died mentally.
Even the reason was absurd.
According to the system message.
‘The result of seeing and trying to understand something so huge.’
My eyes are not capable of seeing that.
My head, which wasn’t wide enough to understand, screamed in pain.
‘crazy.’
A being like that…
exists in another world?
I was surprised for a moment.
It seems like there is no time to give me a chance to be shocked.
-scram!
The gods of this world began to resist that being.
If you look at it properly, it is a being that brings spiritual death.
at last.
I could only see the events that followed through the other side of the blurry status window.
‘I’m an ordinary human being, but this guy is different.’
According to the [system], I am the one whose memories I am currently reading.
Morzan is clearly a powerful god.
‘I guess they’re not weak enough to just be invaded.’
Just as I thought.
soon.
The existence of the outer universe.
The gods of this world clashed.
Kuung….
The fight between great beings.
The scale itself was different from the war I was waging.
Although I didn’t see the fight in person.
The aftermath of the fight could be seen out of the corner of one’s eye.
‘…It breaks.’
Due to the aftermath of the fight.
It was once beautiful.
The world that was being created according to the Creator’s intention…
is being destroyed horribly.
-Oh God!
-Great Morzan! Please take away your anger…!
An early civilization that was only weakly established.
The residents went out in search of their god due to the sudden situation.
Coo!
That civilization was half-extinct due to a single collision.
The surviving races were startled by the sudden natural disaster and could do nothing but run away.
-why!!!
The earth rises into the sky.
The sky falls to the ground.
-Why me…!
When the world he had been cultivating was cruelly destroyed.
Morzan resisted the invaders, shedding bloody tears.
-Why… this world…!
Kwasik!
The invader has that huge mouth.
A deity who created heaven and earth, overlooking even mountain ranges.
I swallowed Morzan in one mouthful.
‘Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!’
The feeling of my whole body being torn apart at once.
I almost lost my mind.
That body was not the real me.
In this memory.
I didn’t have the body to produce the chemical reactions that would cause me to pass out from pain.
‘Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Even in pain.
I recall this memory with only my mind left.
at last.
After the otherworldly entity ate Morzan.
He returned to outer space through the hole he had drilled.
-Why…
-Why…
But.
I don’t know if it would have been better if it had completely disappeared then.
A powerful deity.
Was it difficult to swallow all of Morzan in one bite?
The invaders are only a small part.
The leftovers that were not eaten were left behind.
‘It’s like leaving food behind.’
A huge god.
That thigh area.
A very small portion of them.
Wow.
The land has been turned upside down due to a fight between giant beings.
A piece of flesh falls into the depths.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
The sky that fell to the ground rises upward.
The land that soared into the sky returns to the ground.
Comfort for the flesh that fell deep underground.
Fragments of the broken earth pile up.
-it hurts.
If it’s an ordinary creature.
It is a condition that deserves to be declared dead.
but.
‘It is said that a great being… cannot die easily even if he dies.’
A great godhead, not an ordinary living being.
Even though there was only one piece of flesh left…
he was not completely dead.
If he wanted to die, he could have died.
No matter how great the deity is.
He had no reason enough to decide on his own death when he had barely a shred of flesh left.
-…sick.
like that.
That piece of flesh.
-Why only me?
Keeping only the pain and resentment of being eaten.
-Why…
I fell into a long sleep.
* * *
….
….
‘…huh?’
I thought this memory would end there.
Unexpectedly.
The memories continued.
‘Are you saying memories can accumulate even in this state…?’
It was ridiculous.
My memories after that were nothing special.
Sleeping in the thick darkness.
Memories that just keep passing time.
‘…I wonder how much time has passed.’
This guy’s sense of time seems to be different from that of humans.
I had no idea how much time had passed.
I can
only guess that more time has passed than this guy invested in ‘Generation’.
Then one day.
Tidik….
from the top of the flesh.
I felt a small vibration.
-…
The flesh was still asleep.
I could feel the vibration.
But this piece of flesh ignored the vibration.
To continue to sleep.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand that feeling.
‘When you open your eyes… a terrible sight will be waiting for you.’
Sometimes…
there are times when you don’t want to open your eyes.
but.
Whether the flesh wants it or not.
A noise that woke him up came to him.
=A magic stone of this purity….
=It is denser than the highest grade magic stone stored in the Imperial Museum…?
=Were our ancestors able to mine and use magic stones like this? I’m so jealous.
Kyaang kyaang.
Digging, digging, digging….
The sound of digging into the basement was so loud.
And beyond just being noisy.
=It is an order from the imperial family!
=You slaves. Why not dig deeper!
The result of digging infinitely deep.
at last.
Coo…!
=What!?
=What’s going on?
=Underneath… there seems to be some sort of cavity.
=Hmm?
It reached the cavity where the flesh was.
…dream.
A piece of flesh that was deeply asleep.
Waking up from a long sleep.
-My world…?
The great old godhead.
I instinctively looked down at the ground.
They say there’s only one piece of flesh left.
A world you created yourself.
Looking down at that world is like looking down at one’s own hands.
When I first looked back at the earth.
What the flesh felt was hope.
‘Magic civilization…’
The great god Morzan.
The plan was for the beings on earth to unite and create a great magic civilization.
The scenery unfolding on the ground is not enough compared to what he had planned.
It was clearly a civilization of an incredible level.
-haha.
Even though he disappeared prematurely.
His children ultimately achieved what he had arranged.
Flesh with a happy heart.
I tried to throw away my regrets and go to eternal rest, but…
= There’s something strange about being in a place like this.
= Let’s investigate. Number 3027!
At the sound coming from above.
That rest is delayed a little.
= Look away.
Kuuuuung….
Kwajik!
In that sky.
After something falls, it shatters and scatters.
=What? Is he dead?
= Since he was already dead, it is correct to say he is suspended from activity, Auditor.
=Oh, that’s right. I forgot that most of the slaves in this mine are dead.
= Since it is only possible here, it may not be easy to get used to it. by the way. If it stops working like that, it must be higher than I thought. I’ll have to get some specialized equipment and investigate again…
after falling right in front of the flesh.
That thing that was shattered….
[Brave Ougar]
The result of being brutally persecuted.
The once innocent face became horribly stained with pain.
It was his creation.
