chapter 127

The pieces of the puzzle were beginning to fall into place in my mind.

Sha and L, the first gods and creators of all life.

Any lifeform had the possibility to evolve. I had learned through my past experiences that gathering Divine Grace can lead to evolution, allowing a species to break free from certain genetic limits.

These ratmen before shared the same names as the High Gods some 20 million years from now. It wouldn’t be a stretch to think that they would indeed eventually become these fearsome powers. In fact, this was highly probable considering that they all shared the same names.

‘How troublesome… if my thinking is correct, then any action I take could influence the future.’

Like my creating Mjölnir or handing over Excalibur… wait.’

A strange thought had occurred to me.

‘What if I was the creator of those items all along. Could it be that I wa the one that handed Excalibur to the Fairy King?’

Until this point I had been completely convinced that Odin had been Mjölnir’s creator, but what if it had been me all along?

But this was all a bit problematic. I was only able to create Mjölnir because I had previously seen it, so who was its original creator?

‘What a strange contradiction, is it possible for me to at the same time be a forger and its original creator? Time has a funny way of playing tricks on you.’

Countless thoughts were racing through my mind as I attempted to extrapolate every possibility, until it was all a bit too much to handle.

“Sigh~ I guess it’s possible.”

“What do you mean, Savior?”

“No, nothing I was just thinking out loud.”

“You seem to think things through quite extensively. It’s totally the opposite personality of Sha and L, they are impulsive and act first, then deal with the aftermath of their decisions.’”

“Well… I’ve had some unique life experiences which have made me so cautious.”

“I rather like this pensive personality of yours.”

“Why is that? Do you think I’m unlike a regular God due to my indecisiveness?”

Evelysla shook her head vigorously.

“I think that the fact that you understand the pain of us mortals, means that you will make this world a better place.”

“Do you truly believe that?”

‘It’s beyond belief, I will support you, always and forever.’

“Stop that, don’t  spray my face with too much gold.” (TL: Korean expression which means to shower with praise.)

“What is this thing called gold?”

Evelysla asked while staring at me curiously.

“It is a bright and shiny yellow metal which can be dug from the ground and is quite rare and expensive. If one were to put gold on someone’s face it would become quite shiny, so putting too much gold on one’s face is like excessive flattery.”

“Oh, so this gold thing is precious?”

I groaned inwardly. By introducing gold in that manner, I had let my biases affect how gold would be perceived for eons to come.

‘I really need to be more careful… it’s far too easy to affect the future right now.’

It was then that I vowed to never again play with the dangers of time.
