163 God Of Madness 10

Naked G.o.d.

The place where he left.

Only left with clothes.

As he read the lyrics, Jaehwan realized this was the hidden verse of the Naked Song. And if his guess was correct, this was the last verse. The Naked G.o.d who returned home without killing anyone, left home again.

And now, Jaehwan had an idea who this Naked G.o.d was.

'Geshtalt. This is Geshtalt's song.'

One of the Three Ancient G.o.ds, Geshtalt, was the one who fought Daeus. He was probably the Naked G.o.d that appeared in this song. This song probably depicted Geshtalt's story and what he really did. Jaehwan touched the drawing of the snake as he read the lyrics.

And after a while, an awakening so violent struck his entire spirit.

...

With the feeling of a galaxy shooting past his entire head, Jaehwan realized a small secret of 'Ouroboros'. He also understood why these people answered everything in Ouroboros. At the end of his understanding, Rhamad spoke.

[I see. So you know everything now.]

The voice seemed sad. The entire race had gathered around the hot spring. They were looking at Jaehwan like a death-sentenced convict waiting for his time. Jaehwan looked at them for a moment and said, "You all once said that you are Geshtalt, but not Geshtalt."

It was actually Ouroboros that translated that for Jaehwan.

"You also said that Geshtalt does not believe in G.o.d. Right?"

Rhamad nodded.

"Yet, that is a strange word. You all have Geshtalt's [Setting] and dearly stick to Geshtalt's tradition called 'Metamorphosis'. But you are not his Followers, nor do you believe in G.o.ds…."

Runald and Karavan then turned serious as if they realized something.

"I was a fool. I should've known then. There's only one kind that doesn't believe in G.o.ds in ."

Jaehwan looked at them closely. They all had very similar features, so it was hard to tell them apart. It was asif one person had divided into many.

"You are all G.o.ds with one name."

Beings who don't believe in G.o.ds — it was the G.o.ds themselves.

The problem was, who were they? And everyone already had the answer.

Silence fell. Runald and Karavan began shaking helplessly. It was the name that brought fears. One of the Three Ancient G.o.ds that had left a deep fear within .

"Geshtalt, the Ancient G.o.d."

They were one with one of the Three Ancient G.o.ds? Runald looked around in fear and asked, "are you all really Geshtalt? Every one of you?"

A G.o.d who was one, but also many. Countless heads moved in unison, and Runald became pale. But Jaehwan wasn't finished yet.

"They are all Geshtalt, but they also aren't Geshtalt."

Runald and Karavan became confused. They weren't sure what Jaehwan was talking about.

Naked G.o.d.

The place where he left.

Only left with clothes.

Jaehwan recited the lyrics with no melody. Therefore, it was easy to picture the words as well. As they listened, Runald and Karavan imagined a big, giant snake eating away at its tail, leaving many pieces of skin at the tail.

'This…'

They both understood. Yes, the word 'Ouroboros' really fit them.

Jaehwan looked at Rhamad with a sad expression and asked, "You all are the 'clothes' that Geshtalt took off. Isn't that right?"
