Reincarnated as a Flower, Fine then I'll bloom my own way

Chapter 42 - 40: This Thing I Call Life



"They call me a god, but not because they understand me—only because they fear what they cannot comprehend. They worship not out of love, but out of fear. And in their fear, they create their own gods, molding them from whispers and shadows, turning the unknown into something divine. But tell me... what is a god, really? Is it someone with power? If so, then power alone makes no god—only a ruler. A king demands loyalty, but a god... a god is given it freely. And that is what makes gods far more dangerous than kings.

"They believe in me not because of what I am, but because they need to. It is not faith—it is desperation. They cannot accept a world where something greater does not exist, so they give it form. And I? I simply became the result of their hopes, their fears, and their ignorance. To be called a god is not an honor—it is a cage, a throne built from expectations and chains of devotion. One day, they will bow before me. The next, they will curse my name. That is the nature of those who blindly worship what they do not understand.

"And those who sit on their thrones, the ones who rule through words and ranks, they believe that their titles make them powerful. But strength is not given—it is earned, forged in struggle, and proven in battle. Their authority is a fragile illusion, a mere structure that crumbles the moment the world no longer chooses to obey..."

I appeared in a land where it was dark. The buildings were destroyed, and there were no people. (Darkon Kingdom after war.)

[Why did you lie to them?] Aries suddenly spoke in my mind.

(Oh... well, I thought I should keep the evolving thing secret from others...) I replied.

[Any reason for that?] Aries asked again.

(...I don't know, but I just feel like it...) I replied.

[So then, are you ready to evolve?] Aries asked.

I smiled slightly and replied—

"Yes."
