Not A God

Chapter 37 - Creation Day

Today is October 1, 3051, the date of the creation of the Legendary Creator God, Coritel.

On this particular day, at eleven o'clock, twenty-one minutes and fifty seconds midday. All the planet's geological detectors picked up a strange vibration from the core of the planet.

An unprecedented tremor was occurring throughout the entire planet, and it was about to spread to every corner of the planet in just ten minutes. This is the common conclusion reached by the only two nations on the planet, the Federation and the Empire.

After reaching this conclusion, the two countries, which were already in a frenzy because of the frequent paranormal incidents, did not dare to ignore the planetary change. After all, no one knew how this impending global shock wave would bring about changes in the planet.

The top scientific institutions of both countries are frantically gathering scientists to study the possible consequences of the mutation. Humanity has been huddled in a corner of the Far Side for too long and has become much more vulnerable than it was before the nuclear war, too vulnerable to accept another global disaster.

So this inexplicable nuclear tremor was never good news for anyone on either side, and they had to be careful how they dealt with it. And while both countries' top geological researchers were studying the cause of the tremor, bad news came from outer space.

From the cosmos, the faraway turquoise star was shrouded in unaccountable chaos. In the chaos of tumbling cosmic dust and expanding gas, the remnants of unknown distant bodies loom large. As if following some supreme law of the universe, the remnants of giant planets orbited around the distant star like a mirage, softening its otherwise enormous mass and making it one of the most distant stars in the galaxy.

The human satellites and space stations all over the planet's periphery caught this strange scene and sent it back to the Far Star's surface receivers in just a dozen seconds. After receiving this incredible satellite signal, all the observatories in space were in a state of shock and silence for a long time.

Inside the Observatory, all the researchers looked at the images coming back from space with disbelief, at the phantom objects, as if they were three-year-old children who knew nothing about the universe. What they saw before them was beyond what they had studied all their lives, beyond what they knew. All their knowledge of physics and astronomy was now a joke, as false as a mirror.

"This ...... is not possible ......"

The head of the Empire's highest observatory institution woefully repeatedly zoomed in on the hologram on the projection stage, trying to find traces of forgery, but to no avail. In the end, he gave up and stared dumbly at the hologram not far away as if he had seen the end of the world. In the image was a celestial body he had studied all his life.

He could pronounce any of their academic names, even if he could only glimpse a faint remnant of them from the perspective of a distant star as if tens of thousands of light-years away. The hot, huge red giants, expanding supernovae, collapsing stars and foggy nebulae are faintly visible around their parent star.

In fact, if these objects had not been shrouded in unknown chaos, which cuts off most of the light, and if they had not been so close to each other that the unknown objects had not appeared as large as they really were, the planet would have fallen into ruin in the shadow of the hidden, unreal descending objects. It was enough to cover the entire sky with the bright light emanating from the surface of those huge bodies alone, making every corner of the Far Star as bright as day.

It was impossible, even in his wildest fantasies, for these objects to appear in one area at the same time, but now they were literally appearing all around the globe. The man in charge sat stone-faced on the ground, looking at the faint, seemingly real, phantoms. It was as if they were ready to cross the space barrier, to reach here through billions of light-years and bring about the destruction of this world.
