The scene in my eyes changed, even though the area I saw was still in the same place.
It is the same place, located in front of the temple. The view shown is very different.
How long has it been since the previous fire?
The lantern where Nebi was sealed was still in the same place, covered only by a little moss, with a view of the giant ruined temple behind it. Then there was a person with a fox mask wearing luxurious traditional clothes standing on that stone lantern and extending a hand towards him.
Who is this guy anyway? He has a pretty strong aura.
A golden-coloured light emerged from the man's palm, then a hint of smoke emerged from the stone lantern. I could see the shadows of some red-colored chains coming off.
"Even with the maximum power I put in, it can only damage a few chains, huh? Humans are indeed very good if they are in the field to create something. Although they are very bad in terms of caring."
The masked man in luxurious clothes slightly giggled and sat down on the grass, aligning his face with the stone lantern.
"Nebi, can you hear me? I've slightly reduced the pressure exerted by this seal, at least you can let out your voice now. Can you do it?"
The atmosphere became silent, only containing a slow gust of wind. Just as I thought that if no one would reply, a voice came out from the lantern.
A very weak and slow voice, I could barely hear it. Is this really the same voice from Nebi? What has happened to this day? Damn, after all why does everything always change when entering the most important part?!
"God*******, forgive me. I have failed to carry out the duty you gave me by protecting this temple during your departure. Please ... Please forgive me. All of this was due to the carelessness I committed when facing that intruder. Please—"
"Nebi." the man cut out Nebi's sentence.
The masked man is ... A deity? Eh? Real gods? He only looked like a tall man wearing extremely luxurious traditional clothes with a fairly strong aura. And why is he wearing a mask?
There were many questions gathered in my head but I better keep quiet and observe the progress of the current situation.
The God stretched out his hand, touched the stone lantern, he rubbed it and took out a few pieces of moss attached, then observed it.
"First of all, listen to me calmly. I'll explain the whole situation that's happening right now."
"Good."
While observing the green moss on his hand, the God also explained the various things that happened in a very calm tone.
First, about Kitsu who did a relationship with humans, then gave birth to a half-Spirit baby. Now Kitsu, who took the form of a human being and fled with the man who became her husband, is hiding somewhere.
Next about the other three Nine-tailed fox spirits, they were all sealed in three different places. The god told me the location of each of those Spirits, I heard it too but I still didn't know where it was.
Then about the four foxes tailed seven who were exterminated, followed by Sen who turned into an evil spirit and chased and killed all humans who had a connection about the attack. Sen decides to avenge his exterminated brother and sister in a very heinous way.
Then about the Zalsa Clan, it was the name of the Clan that had attacked earlier, led by Yan Zalsa, as the first head of the Clan. Currently they were still conducting a search on the first son of Yan Zalsa.
The ten apprentice foxes at the temple also serve as companion spirits with one-sided contracts, which force them to obey.
And lastly, which also had to do with the Zalsa Clan. The god said that if the forbidden technique they had done to seal Nebi inside the stone Lantern was a new Forbidden Technique. Therefore, God also cannot explain more details about the mechanism.
The only thing he could confirm about that forbidden technique was the payment from those who did it.
At least five human bodies were incompatible with the result of the perfect sealing of Nebi, who was a High Spirit.
Either it would start in the second or third generation of the Zalsa Clan, either, one thing is certain that a powerful curse will haunt the blood of all those who have been involved in this incident.
Nebi who listened to all the God's explanations in silence, started to raise her voice. As before, his voice sounded very weak.
"That's it, so it's not an essay ... Kitsu really did. Then Sen, Chio, Ron, Ulin and Lin, the four children ... Emi, Noe, Sui were also sealed in three different places. Really, the situation is so messed up and it makes my head break."
The explanation of the God ended, with the God prostrating, putting his head on the green grass. It made me freeze and Nebi was screaming in panic.
"My god?! What are you doing?!"
Nebi's right, what are you doing? Shit, is it my fault that I don't understand the situation well? Why did this God bow down? And also, why did this God not do anything to avenge the humans who attacked his residences and subordinates?
"This is a form of apology from me as your foolish master who has allowed this kind of tragedy to happen. I want to apologize for everything that happened to you, hoping that at least it can ease the burden on your heart. Nebi, I've already said this to your other three sisters and I will tell you too."
"Yes. Is that it, my God?"
"I want you to forgive Kitsu, as your sister. I also want you to forgive the humans, who have attacked and sealed you. Don't pile a grudge on you, can you do it?"
.... Huh huh? This god, what did he say?
"I'm sorry, my God. I can still accept your request if it pertains to Kitsu on some terms but for those humans, I'm not sure. Therefore once I am free from this seal, perhaps the first thing I do is to burn away every human I meet until the anger that is in me is muffled. I'll take care of the others after that."
The voice Nebi let out changed.
An extremely powerful voice, filled with various turbulent emotions within. Nebi's current voice actually described all of that very clearly. I could understand the answer he gave and I expected it too.
Of course, that God must have thought the same thing.
"Is that so? I-i understand. Then I'll do it next time."
The god only retorted briefly and stood up, slightly taking off the mask that covered his face and wiping his tears.
"Nebi, take care of yourself. I will visit you all once a year and will ask for the same. I hope you all can rethink this."
The god walked away, leaving the stone lantern behind him. In the end what does this God want? He paid nothing back to the humans and instead asked Nebi to forgive them.
What the fuck? Even I feel pretty upset about this. In the end what the Gods could do was just keep an eye on everything and try not to interfere in anything, huh?
A holy existence like them did indeed have very different thoughts.
Swingg—!! And the look in my eyes changed.
From then on, the thing I saw was always the same, which was about the same masked God prostrating himself by sticking his head on the grass and begging Nebi to forgive humans.
Whether in a rainstorm, or in the heat of the storm, the God kept pleading with tears flowing behind his mask. I saw it many times, even I started to stop counting, I don't know how much I saw it.
Every scene in my eyes changed, what I saw was the same pose as the surroundings that were slowly beginning to change. How long has this God been doing it? And what's the purpose of doing this?
Did he really want the descendants of the humans who had already attacked his subordinates to get away with it? With a reason if those who attacked were already dead, and what was left right now was only their descendants who knew nothing?
I don't understand at all.
And just like me, Nebi also did not understand the reason behind the actions of the God. Therefore he gave the same answer, that he would not forgive humans and promised to kill them all once he could get out.
Until one day, the god came back and said something shocking. That—
"This year may be the last time I'll visit you. The reduced number of people who worshiped me made my strength slowly weaken. It won't be long until I'll completely disappear after this." said the masked god, with a hint of laughter at the end.
The god coughed softly, and continued.
"It has been four hundred years since the Tragedy, and I am here, for the last time to ask you. Nebi, I beg you to forgive the humans, don't attack them."
And for the last time, the God bowed his head to the green grass.
"My god, I don't understand at all. Why have you done it so far? Why are you defending so many people? What kind of value do they have? I can't understand at all. What exactly have you been doing in front of this new Lantern for four hundred years? Whatever happens, I will never forgive those humans!!"
Nebi shouted, with great hatred, anger, sadness and despair.
On the other hand, the God raised his head, looking towards the stone lantern ... No, he was looking right in the direction Nebi might be looking at. With a very delicate voice, the God replied to him.
"Everything I do is for my own sake, for the sake of humans and and of course—"
The god raised his body and with a smooth movement, he took a seat on the surface of the grass, then continued.
"—By my most precious treasure, which is all of you."
Swingg—!! And so, the scene in my eyes changed once again
