Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 105 Omniscient and Omnipotent
"O Omniscient and Omnipotent One, is everything truly under your control? Can you create a stone that even you cannot lift?"

Accompanying these words was a mocking laugh from a dark creature whose features were obscured.

“You once said that I am not your creation, yet you call all the angels you created and those you did not create your creation. In other words, as long as a life was originally created by you, it is your creation. Then… does the fact that I am not your creation mean that, tracing back to the very source, the thing that is my creator was not created by you? In other words, if it was not created by you, who is omniscient and omnipotent, then who created it?”

"In other words, O omniscient and omnipotent one, may I think that... you are not the earliest creator, or that you are the creator of something?"

"If you were also created, then who created you?"

The vertical snake pupils contracted slightly, revealing a kind of madness, but at the deepest part of that madness was a chilling calmness.

This monster has always been arrogant and disdainful of everything. Because it lacks a sense of fear, it has no reverence for anything in this world. Fate, life and death, order—it doesn't care about anything and scorns everything. However, its excessive arrogance and lack of reverence can sometimes lead it into traps when it is looking down on everything. But when it gets serious, it is surprisingly calm. It's just that usually no one has the right to make it get serious.

The dark entity didn't care whether the omniscient and omnipotent being answered; it just kept talking to itself.

"But if we go back to the beginning, then without a doubt, my predecessor—that human named Meng—did hear the story of God creating the world in seven days, and Adam and Eve. So... what does this world mean? Is it just another repetition? Or is it that even you, as an omniscient and omnipotent being, are forced into some kind of cycle? Then, are you truly omniscient and omnipotent...?"

As it spoke, the pupils of the dark creature grew increasingly cold.

Ultimately, it's not content to be an angel here; it's trying to guess the scope and limitations of "omniscience and omnipotence," and to estimate the limits of God's power and ability.

The omniscient and omnipotent being sitting on the high throne did not interrupt it, but simply let the dark creature speculate, and only spoke after the dark creature stopped talking.

“Raziel, I can tell you that, as I said, you are indeed not my creation. However, you, trapped in the limitations of logic, do not understand what omniscience and omnipotence are.”

"I am all-knowing and all-powerful. There is nothing you can list that I cannot do. Even creating a circular triangle or a cat that is both dead and alive is no challenge for me. All sorts of things that defy common sense and logic are nothing more than the palm of my hand, because logic and thought are merely my creations and servants."

"In the blink of an eye, I can create countless universes, and in the blink of an eye, I can erase countless universes. All time, space, worlds, and gods are meaningless to me. It is because I am omnipotent, omniscient, and not limited by logic that I am omniscient and omnipotent."

Hearing the words of the omniscient and omnipotent being, the monster shrouded in darkness merely sneered, completely unconcerned, and continued to ask questions.

“I have indeed witnessed your power. Indeed, you have erased all spacetime except for this world. But I am very curious… If what you say is true, there should also have been a God who created the world in my past life. What will happen between two omniscient and omnipotent beings? It’s really interesting.”

The dark entity spoke each word carefully, its eyes growing increasingly calm.

Even though it had witnessed firsthand how this omniscient and omnipotent being could erase countless spaces and times with a single thought, it felt no awe whatsoever. On the contrary, it was still trying to assess the capabilities and limits of this omniscient and omnipotent being.

The response to it remained calm and composed.

“Raziel, you are still trying to limit me with logic, but I tell you frankly, logic cannot limit an omniscient and omnipotent being. In my eyes, there are no metaphysical concepts such as strength and weakness, life and death, existence and non-existence, because these are just tools that I created to define and measure the world. The past, future, present, or another God have no meaning to me.”

The dark creature's pupils contracted slightly, as if it had keenly sensed something.

"Rather than your doubts about me, Raziel, you should have already realized something by now..."

Just then, the serene voice of the omniscient and omnipotent being rang out.

The dark entity remained silent; its face was obscured, and its vertical pupils showed no emotion, for it knew perfectly well what the omniscient and omnipotent one referred to.

Monsters need to eat.

Even though it swallowed the entire Norse universe, including Ymir, with its ever-growing body, one day it will completely digest the entire Norse universe. At that time, it will inevitably face that endless hunger again.

That wouldn't have been a big deal in itself, as that period of time was still quite long, but the most crucial issue was...

Its body had become a world of its own. Before the world was born, it was unaware of this, but after the world was born, it realized that its body had fallen into a time flow that was completely different from the outside world. In the outside world, a breath was enough for it to have lived through a year.

The reason for this is that time and space in the outside world are creations of an omniscient and omnipotent being, which can be used by any angel or life form, but do not belong to the Great Serpent.

You cannot drink a single drop of water, breathe a single breath of air, occupy any space, or use any moment of time. Everything in this world does not belong to the Great Serpent, because the Great Serpent is not the creation of an omniscient and omnipotent being, and therefore has no right to enjoy it. The spacetime that sustains it is formed by itself, and its flow of time is naturally different.

Of course, a thousand years ago in the outside world, and a few days in the eyes of Orochi, the omniscient and omnipotent being generously gave Orochi a choice:

By becoming its complete messenger and wholeheartedly submitting to the will of the omniscient and omnipotent, God will allow the serpent to use everything in this world.

Clearly, the arrogant serpent refused outright.

However, the serpent was still in dire straits. Even though it had created a dark entity from the materials of this world to temporarily reside in, it still had to face the fact that its own body would likely fall into hunger again soon. Its attempt to explore the limits of the omniscient and omnipotent being was also an attempt to find a way to save itself.
And apart from this world, all of spacetime has been destroyed by this omniscient and omnipotent being, which means that the serpent can no longer find any other way to satisfy its hunger... On the throne, the omniscient and omnipotent being, shrouded in endless radiance, quietly looked down at the dark creature below, waiting for the monster in front of him to make a decision.

Will it become its devout angel, or be reduced to a hungry monster?

Everything hinges on the mere thought of the darkness before us...

"Hehe... Hahahahahaha..."

However, the dark entity in front of them suddenly began to laugh inexplicably, laughing wildly. After a long while, it crossed its arms and stared at the absolute god shrouded in endless radiance before it.

"How amusing! I've been forced into this predicament... Yahweh, how about we make a bet?"

Despite being in dire straits, the giant serpent remained as arrogant as ever, its madness showing no signs of diminishing.

"bet?"

High on the divine throne, a hint of confusion crept into the calm voice.

A smirk appeared on his lips, and a deep madness gradually crept into his pupils.

"How about we bet on whether this world will ultimately fall into my hands or yours?"

Along with the words of the dark object, a chessboard appeared floating in the air within the palace, with sixty-four distinct black and white squares. The supreme deity easily recognized it as chess, a game yet to be played in this world.

However, apart from the two kings, one black and one white, facing off on the chessboard, there were no other pieces such as the queen, castle, bishop, knight, or soldier.

"I must say, Yahweh... no, the all-knowing and all-powerful one, I am indeed just a weakling in your presence. Since that is the case, I have no choice but to use the methods of the weak and the wisdom that I despise to fight against you."

Facing the absolute god seated high on the throne, the dark creature's eyes remained cold.

“You once said that you will not know what you do not want to know. In other words, you are equally ignorant about the future that you do not want to know. In that case, let’s make a bet, with my freedom as the stake. If you win, I will kneel down before you with all my heart, bow down to you, and serve you as an angel. If you lose, then restore those countless times and spaces, and no longer trap me here.”

"What makes you think I would agree to this, you mortal?"

On the other side, the supreme deity responded calmly, but for the first time, his calm voice carried an inexplicable chill.

Before this omniscient and omnipotent being, even a giant serpent capable of devouring the world is no different from any other mortal.

What right does a mere mortal have to play chess with him?

"Because the world would be much more interesting if you bet against me... wouldn't it? I don't believe you would refuse."

The blurry figure, composed of invisible black shadows, had madness in its pupils and a ferocious grin on its lips.

After a long while, a voice came.

“An interesting bet, an interesting mortal thing, I agree.”

Accompanied by the words of the absolute god, numerous pieces suddenly appeared beside the white king on the chessboard: queens, knights, bishops, castles, and soldiers, all arranged on the board. However, in the eyes of the serpent, each piece was clearly an angel of a different identity.

On the chessboard, the lone black king faces the white king's entire board of pieces. A solemn and invisible overwhelming aura emanates from the white pieces, almost threatening to completely destroy the black king.

"If you don't have any pieces, you'll lose."

The deity opposite spoke calmly.

Although neither side spoke, both understood that the king could not be moved on the chessboard. Since it was a game of chess, how could the king, who controlled the game, make a move himself? Therefore, everything had to be left to the other pieces. Without pieces, it was naturally a loss.

However, the dark entity simply grinned at the god.

"The king will never be without chess pieces."

With its voice, the shadowy figure that formed the body of darkness dissipated in the crystal sky, leaving only the omniscient and omnipotent god in the empty palace.
