The Heavenly Tale - Nameless God's
Chapter 13
The first light that entered his eyes was a golden colored light and came from the sky. After that beautiful light, his eyes looked around him and he seemed to be in a very spacious and round meeting room, a long chair lined up behind him. His eyes then looked down and saw his body sitting on the soft marble-colored floor. Then, he saw her body wrapped in golden clothes that fell gently onto the floor.
He heard the sounds of people approaching, it seemed to sound a lot. Then, he heard a large and heavy door open behind him. His eyes turned to stare at the source of the voices. He saw nearly 10 people in nice clothes entering the room, there were women as well as men. Their clothes were shiny and beautiful, their looks were also dazzling.
Meanwhile, what the crowd saw was a young woman in golden clothes. Her hair was decorated in such a way that her long, black hair shimmered with the sparkle of jewels and golden crowns. The parasites are very charming and the beauty looks special. His skin was somewhat yellow, not pale, but displayed a golden glow.
“Welcome, Princess God of Trust, Allegiance, and Confidence.” The man who was standing at the very front in white and gold clothes said as he lowered his head. The people behind followed his movements in unison. “Paradise welcomes you humbly.”
Before him, the woman looked confused, but her expression was not heavy. “Is this Heaven and I'll stay here?”
“Yes, of course. Daughter of Gods, you will be a part of Heaven from today on. I'm sure you are engulfed in a great sense of confusion and curiosity, therefore we have prepared many things to help you. The gods, please help the Dewa Princess.”
With a gesture from the man, two gods, a woman and a man approached the woman and helped her stand up. The female deity wore after pastel-colored, while the male deity was purple-colored. The man himself walked up to the woman and grabbed her hands and held her gently. The woman thanked me. “Pardon my awkwardness, just now you mentioned my name, what is it?”
“Daughter of Trust, Loyalty, and Confidence,” replied the man before her.
“Is that my name from now on?” ask the girl again.
The man smiled in a gentle and fatherly manner. “That name has been decided a long time ago. The other gods will help you recognize your form and power as a god, so don't hesitate to ask. Do not hesitate also to get acquainted with all the inhabitants of Heaven. If you need help, you can find me. I'm often called the Heavenly Prince, but you can call me anything as you wish.”
The woman looked down respectfully at the man. The two gods who helped him up took him away from there to another room. For some time, various gods accompanied this woman in her studies. He was endowed with such high wisdom that it did not take him long to learn. And he was very friendly, he got acquainted with the gods in a gentle way, then learned a thing or two from them. After she learned a lot of science, wisdom, art, and everything about life, she was soon officially introduced as the God's Daughter of Trust, Loyalty, and Confidence (Princess God of Trust, Loyalty, and Loyalty, and Faith). The event took place in the Heavenly Great Hall, and was attended by all the gods.
At that time, the God Princess had become a familiar figure to the gods, as well as a respected god. He was told that a god would become highly respected and famous when humans wished him much and used his power. His strength is the trust, loyalty, and confidence that grow in the hearts of men. With humanity's willingness to use that power within her, the Daughter of God became a revered figure both in Heaven and on Earth.
He loved humans as much as the gods loved humans. He had always wanted to know how humans were doing on Earth and had frequent discussions with a female deity, the God of Preservation and Relief of Perils. He loved to watch the humans through a pool of clear water in the room of the god. The pool is called the Reflection of the World (Reflection of the World), and it can display things happening on earth. He witnessed humans working together to build the earth and himself, friendly to each other, living together. He also sees humans fighting and behaving unfairly, but he knows it's all part of the human dynamic.
Not only the wisdom and knowledge regarding humans and all forms of life, the Daughter of God also enjoys learning other arts. He also often met the God of War and Wisdom whom many world leaders adored. This god helped the leaders to establish their territory, stabilize their territory, win the hearts of their people, and regulate their group. This god had an artful ability in managing a group or country, and he also mastered the art of war. He learned the art of the state and sword arts from the god known as the General of the Gods.
Once upon a time, the God General gave him a sword with a silver blade and a golden handle, beautiful and dashing simultaneously. The God General said that there were one or two things that came along with the appearance of a new god, in the case of the God Princess, he said, this was a golden sword and a golden scarf that he had stored up to give later on. The God Princess received the gift with joy.
One day, he and several gods, including the Heavenly Prince, were gathered in the Great Hall of Heaven to discuss human loyalty to the Allfather. At that time about ten or eleven gods were present there, because their conversation was light so as not to require a conference on a large scale. The doors of the Great Hall of Heaven were not closed because of it.
It was clear to the gods that the Allfather was the only person to be worshipped by man, no other deity could overshadow His figure. The gods were praising the loyalty of men, including how proud they were of the Allfather.
“Sometimes humans don't name it, but its form is the Allfather himself. Knowing that alone I was happy,” a male god said.
“Humans are complex, they are not always white, nor are they always black, they are colored in various colors with their respective characteristics. But let their hearts speak whether they love the Allfather or not. That's what I can learn.” This time the God of Preserver and Disaster Relief said. The beautiful but resolute female deity was wearing a dark green dress.
“There are also humans who are filled with disobedience and continuously injure the Allfather by injuring his fellow humans and the Earth, what color are they?” another god asked.
“Again, I think let their hearts do the talking. Their lives may be colored, they may be murky, but they are creatures that although complex and complex, still have simplicity. They will do something, even evil, if they have a background and opportunity.” Answer the God of Preservation and Relief, who is honored for his wisdom.
“Despite that, they will still be our humans,” The Heavenly Prince then said. “It is our duty to keep looking after them. In order for them to grow into fertile creatures, they need to be buffeted by storms and light. Everything should be balanced.”
The gods present nodded slowly approving of these words. Then, The God Princess said, “Humans are dynamic beings. They are not always black and not always white. They can change. Even though they are evil, I believe they still have something they believe in in themselves. One thing I believe as well is that Heaven will never close the doors of forgiveness and compassion for man. That way humans will always have a chance to improve themselves.” He looked at the Heavenly Prince and gave a small nod, hinting that he had great respect for the Heavenly Prince, as well as begging for his support.
“That's right,” Heavenly Prince welcomed the move with equally small nods. “We must not leave humans. For those who are lost, we have to make them go back home.”
Another god said, “Really the wisdom of the Allfather the Most Noble and Most Merciful. He really loves his creation.”
Another god said, “What is it?”
This question invites confusion of other gods. The god who previously spoke back said, “Wisdom Allfather—“
But the word of the god was cut off by the god who had previously asked. “I'm sorry for my indecision that has made you all misunderstand. My point is, what is that floating in the sky?”
Instantly, all the gods looked outside the Great Hall. The round hall was bounded by beautiful white pillars, and before it stretched the boundless sky of Heaven. The sky is always golden, but its beauty is never dull. But at that time, there were red square objects that sprung up from behind the clouds. Not only ten or twenty, the box thing flew up slowly and continued to arrive as if it did not stop. The inquiring god sat facing outwards so that he was the first to see, while the rest sat sideways or turned their backs on the sky so they were too late to notice.
Some of the gods immediately stood up as fast as lightning, some were stunned just standing up. Yet they all equally walked to the edge of the hall carefully. The God Princess also approached cautiously. He already knew many things about human life, so he recognized that thing as he approached. It was a lantern. The red lantern with the small flames soared high into the sky as if nonstop.
“What is lantern?” a god said. “I heard humans often fly lanterns on certain days?”
“But what are those lanterns doing in Heaven? If it comes from the human world, then it shouldn't have got here.” Another god said.
“Heavenly Prince, have you discussed with the Allfather about this before?” The God of Preservation and Disaster Relief asked.
“No. My memory is fine, but I have never discussed it with the Allfather. Does this mean it's here? I cannot answer it,” replied the Heavenly Prince.
“Aplenty. The number could be thousands,” a god murmured.
“Three thousand.” Another voice came from the direction of the hall door. The War and Wisdom God General together with the Magic God General, accompanied by 2 warriors from the Heavenly Army entered the room. The three bowed respectfully as a greeting, then continued. “The number is exactly three thousand, no more no less.”
“And where did it come from?” The Heavenly Prince asked.
“From Hell,” the God General of War and Wisdom replied. He was a figure who used a lot of dark purple color attributes. The entire god gasped, including the Heavenly Prince. “Let me explain, The Gods of Your Majesty, these lanterns were indeed flown from Hell. We took some lanterns and examined them carefully, but we found no evil intent or dark science hidden in them. We even checked and made sure the lantern was made by hand.”
“And who sent that lantern?” a god asked.
Hearing this, the two God Generals looked at each other for a moment. “Sang Red Spirit.”
The name seemed to elicit a personal response for all the gods. Some of the gods looked up, and others were stunned. The name of the Red Spirit (The Red Spirit) seems to mean a lot to them, in a rather bad connotation. “If this was sent by the Red Spirit, how can we be sure that these objects do not contain any danger?”
“Did he lose his mind?” another god said.
“He's lost his mind since the beginning, the other” replied.
“True. We took the lantern and checked it, then we went down to find the source of the lantern. We found the Red Spirit right when we flew the last lantern. He himself said that the number was three thousand, and he sent it to color the dull sky of Heaven.” This time the god with the all-grey old attribute replied. He is the General of the Magic God.
“Coloring? Does he mean to burn the heavens of Heaven?”
This divine speech shocked the entire god, even the Heavenly Prince. “We must not speculate!” The Heavenly Prince exclaimed.
“Pardon me, but I only said in a precautionary manner, O Heavenly Prince. There is no ill intent in my words,” the god looked down rather lowly to apologize.
“We've checked it several times and interrogated the Red Spirit directly. We really did not find any evil intent behind his deeds, except as a joke and scorn over the sky of Heaven which he thought was boring,” General God of War and Wisdom again said.
“He was indeed terrifying and so powerful that he could waste his strength to pierce through Heaven's sky and send three thousand lanterns just as a claw,” a god said, half his tone sounded as scorn. “How can we know what's inside his head?”
“We can't know anything about him, how can we know the contents of his head? If it wasn't for that weapon he made, then we could monitor it. What kind of dark science did he use so as to create such a powerful weapon? What's name? Blind Sheath?” an angry looking male god said slowly.
When he heard the words of the god concerning the Blind Sheath (The Blinding Veil), the General of the Gods of Magic said, “With all due respect, Lord God, the Blind Sheath is not a weapon. We have faced him directly. It was a striking red umbrella, and if it were to be likened to a fighting attribute, it was to be a shield. If he has a weapon, it is his own body.”
“We promise to check the lantern once again, but by the time we're all here talking, the Heavenly Army troops have already spread all over Heaven to capture the other lanterns that are too close to where we live, as well as guarding against other threats,” General God of War and Wisdom said.
As long as this conversation continued and continued, some gods did not speak, nor did the God Princess. He continued to gaze at the rising lanterns nonstop, his swaying light appearing to flash. His consciousness was guarded, and he kept listening to the conversation that was going on behind him, but he was not involved in the fierce talk.
His feet brought him into his room, and he immediately closed the door. Just like the hall, his room was directly adjacent to the sky, and he walked to the end of his room, staring down. His breathing sounded a bit stingy and there was a slight doubt on his face. After worrying for a while, he finally jumped out of his room.
He plunged freely downwards, directly towards the bridge of Heaven and Hell. Originally he passed through the golden sky of heaven, then slowly his sky started to gray, and he had to pass through the dark sky and be stained with lightning so that he covered his face with his sleeves. As he passed through the stormy sky, he appeared in the sky in red, and from there he could see the land.
The rate of fall slowed down, then he landed with one foot down first. The land of Hell where the beach is red, and the surroundings have the feel of an arid and gripping cliff. When he arrived, his surroundings were a bit foggy, so he was walking in an indeterminate direction. But after he walked for a while, the fog slowly disappeared and he could see more clearly.
In front of him, still some distance ahead, stood a long black-haired man with a red umbrella open. His red robe was upholstered, and the outermost layer dangled until it touched the tip of his black shoe. He was wearing a belt of large, patterned silver plates. The God Princess approached and stopped a few steps in front of the man, both silent for a while.
“There can I help you with?” the man then said.
The God Princess was silent for a moment. “I don't know.”
The man smiled. “You can start from telling me why you came here.”
The God Princess was still speechless, it seemed like she was thinking. “Are you The Red Spirit?” tanyanya.
“Ya,” the man replied.
“Did you just send three thousand lanterns to Heaven?”
“Ya.”
“Do you make it by hand?”
“A total of three thousand lanterns.”
The God Princess was silent again. He moved forward toward the Red Spirit until he was in the shade of his umbrella. His eyes stared straight into the Red Spirit's eyes for a few moments. The Red Spirit was extremely tall, while the God Princess was only as tall as her chin, so she had to look up. Clenching her hands, the God Princess suddenly hugged the man. As a result, a big smile fell on the face of the Red Spirit. He hugged the God Princess.
“Do you remember?” ask the Red Spirit.
How could he forget? Something so beautiful and striking in appearance, followed by memories that last a lifetime. How could he forget? And even though the man's appearance was much grander than before, his form in the past still resided in his eyes.
The God Princess did not answer him immediately. He buried his face longer. “Why did you do it? Why are you challenging Heaven? Why did you make me a god?”
The Red Spirit smiled. “I've been watching you for a long time. You are everything to me, but I have to lose you again and again, and the world hates you too. Now, I will do anything to bring you back and make you everything for the world.”
“Is it because I used to be a human who was always hit by bad luck? Then you sympathize with me? Or..” Princess of Gods stops.
“More than that.” The Red Spirit rubbed his face gently.
The God Princess was speechless as the cold and large hand of the Red Spirit continued to wipe her face then her hair. “Do you want to be with me, Mr Spirit?” he then asked. This question was answered with a nod to the Red Spirit. “But now I'm in Heaven, and you're in Hell. How can we keep meeting? You can't constantly challenge Heaven by breaking through the bridges of Heaven and Hell. I also can't go down to Hell all the time or on a regular basis. If I were still human, you could come down to earth whenever you wanted, and I wouldn't mind having to follow you wherever you go.”
The Red Spirit smiled. “Who said I can't keep going through Heaven? I can do it for you,” he replied. But seeing the forehead of the God Princess shriveling, he continued. “We can meet in other places where Heaven or Hell cannot see it.”
“Where?”
“Here.” The Red Spirit looked up at her umbrella. “You already know no, now.”
The God Princess let out a small sigh. “The place that was not exposed to the anger of the god was none other than under your umbrella, right? More precisely, even Heaven cannot see through your umbrella, so they cannot spill their anger there. You almost cheated me.”
The Red Spirit laughed. “What if I told you that I tricked you so I could spend a lot of time with you? Will you believe it?”
The God Princess raised her hand in front of her mouth, covering her mouth with the wide end of her sleeves. “You never lie.” Hearing him, the Red Spirit smiled again. “Why did you make me a god? I sincerely asked.”
“Hm... I know you love humans so much, and no matter how bad your life was as long as you were human, you never lost your faith. I want you to continue what you believe in, to spread your spirit to humans from far away. I've been here since the beginning, I won't take you to Hell because you don't deserve to be here. If you can protect humans from Heaven, I'm sure you will become an extraordinary figure. Do you enjoy your days as a god?” the Red Spirit.
“I'm getting used to it. Thank you for your deeds,” replied the Princess of Gods briefly. “But we remain two conflicting beings. Are you... not going to Heaven?”
The Red Spirit opened his eyes as if surprised, yet he was actually just pretending. “Together with the gods? No, thank you.”
“I mean, if you die, I can search your soul and take you to Heaven,” said the Princess of Gods.
“And lost all memory of you? I don't want to. I'd rather live in Hell with all the memories of you, than die and be welcomed into Heaven but lose all the memories of you. I'll live this way. That's why I buried my heart.” The Red Spirit answered him firmly but calmly.
The Dewa Princess blinked a few times, then muttered, “Why do you like me so much?”
“I told you, you are everything to me,” replied the Red Spirit with a smile.
The God Princess fell silent again. “You seem quite famous in Heaven. The Gods there call you the Red Spirit, and they each have different responses when they hear your name, on average. What did you do to Heaven that you received a bad predicate?”
The Red Spirit muttered for a moment. “More precisely; what did Heaven do to me that I should frighten them? But it doesn't matter to you, my dear. I'm already famous in Heaven and Hell in the same way, so you don't need to know why. It's just, I hope you keep believing in me. Whatever you hear from any world, I am the one you know. Please rate me according to your own judgment.”
The God Princess nodded strongly. “You are the Master of Spirits I know.”
The two were still in sight until when the Red Spirit suddenly looked up at the sky. “Gods are down to Hell, likely looking for me,” he said. He looked back at the God Princess, his eyes softening. “Go. We can meet again next time. You will know when the time comes.”
The face of the God Princess looked neutral, yet she was actually trying to hide her sadness. He walked backwards leaving the Red Spirit a few steps ago saying, “You have to promise me.”
“In the sky,” replied Red Spirit. “You will see my promise in the sky.”
The God Princess smiled hearing this then said her farewell and walked away. Just a few steps away, he suddenly turned back and asked. “Master of Spirits, you said you had many names. Then, what does the name ‘Sang Roh Merah’ mean? Why are you called that? Is it because you're wearing a red suit?”
“Oh. In Hell I was called many names, and one of the most famous was ‘Spirit Merah’, and so one of the ways Heaven recognized me. That name can be said to have started from Hell. One day the demons cut off my right wrist, and my red blood flooded the land of Hell.”
He raised his right hand, revealing a long silver bracelet that wrapped his hand from behind his outermost robe. When he got a full vision of the bracelet on his wrist, the God Princess realized that it was actually vambraces of silver plates, part of a armor for war that served to protect the lower arm.
“Oh... alright,” says Princess of Gods. But he stopped talking and was stunned again. “Your red blood floods the land of Hell? But no Hell creature was bleeding red, their blood was black. Creatures that bleed red are only the gods and living creatures on earth including humans.”
The Red Spirit rounded his mouth saying ‘oh’ in a simple yet mysterious way. “That's my secret, Princess. If you want to know, you have to find your own.”
The God Princess looked surprised, yet she did not force herself. He was already very used to interacting with the man and knew when to hold back. “Good. See you later.” Thus he left.
The Red Spirit continued to look at the golden-golden God Princess until she disappeared from his sight. Smiles do not stop to fill his eyes. In that silence, a voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere that whispered right in his ear.
“Only that is what he will know.”
The Red Spirit heard this voice and chuckled lightly. “Of course, my friend. Sure oes. You have fulfilled your promise and that is enough,” he said lightly, then twisted his body and left the place.
Inside his head, another story revolved like a movie. It was the story of a monster who ate big for 40 days in Hell, killing demons and ghosts indiscriminately. He became uncontrollable and the whole of Hell was afraid of him because of his cruelty. And the monster could not die, however he was injured, his body would recover and he continued to live. By the end of the 40th day he had consumed over hundreds of thousands of demons and ghosts, and had become as powerful as a high-leveled demon.
So on the 41st day, he decided to go on a rampage in Heaven.
