Chapter 196: Path of Pilgrimage (5)
* * *
There was chaos in the beginning……. That was what the myths in this world claimed.
Everything was born from within this crucible of chaos. Doesn’t this mean that chaos should be considered the greatest God? Despite this, out of all the Gods worshipped in this world, none of them was called Chaos. Surprisingly enough.
I now understood that it meant nothing if the world had a starting point.
I wasn’t born because I wanted to be anyway. I was just born. Is the world not the same? In the end, the world itself wasn’t born because it wanted to be either. Similar to how a sex partner who had no plans to raise a child would confess to their boyfriend, “Huh? I think I have a child. Hehe,” it was something that simply happened to be created.
The only difference was probably the fact that humans have contraception, but the world doesn’t.
If someone knew beforehand that this bastard child would spread all sorts of curses, pain, diseases, war, and death throughout the world, then―if the world also possessed a gynecologist and they were told, “I strongly recommend, from the bottom of my heart, that this child should be erased,” if the gynecologist could’ve said whether this bastard child was going to be “Good!” or “Bad!” for this world, then wouldn’t it have been great?
However, there were no gynecologists in the myths here.
There was no midwife who could tell the creator whether the world being born would be a good thing or not. There was only chaos in the beginning……. The world was born arbitrarily.
