生まれ変わった王の物語   作者: エリシア・ジュヌヴィエーブ
16/49

外部シークレット

The sky cleared once again, but God’s presence continued to dominate reality. After demonstrating its power, God began to explain the nature of the world to all the beings present. Its voice sounded soft, yet filled with an undeniable authority that echoed directly into their minds.


“This world,” said God, “is vaster and more complex than you can comprehend. There is something fundamental to your existence, something that transcends your body, your soul, and even your history. It is called the External.”


All beings listened intently, including King Shin, who now stood silent, realizing that this information was far too significant to ignore.


“The External,” God continued, “is the place where all information about your existence is gathered. It is where your true manifestation resides. Your bodies, your consciousness in this world, are merely projections of what exists in the External. As long as your External exists, you will never truly die.”


These words shook every being who heard them. They began to understand that the life they considered final was merely one aspect of a far greater reality.


“Even if your bodies are destroyed down to the last atom, even if your history is erased from this world,” God explained, “your External will remain, and from there, you will regenerate, returning to your original form. Your External is the core of your existence, beyond time, space, and even death itself.”


God then revealed something even more profound, something that shook the boundaries of their understanding:


“The External lies outside of the dualities you know. It is neither part of existence (‘C’) nor emptiness (‘O’), but it is also not the opposite of either. The External is something different, something that transcends, something that is neither of these. The External does not adhere to the logic of this world or the laws you understand.”


The beings present began to feel how small they were compared to the concept of the External. Some of them tried to imagine their own External forms but soon felt dizzy and lost their bearings.


“All of you,” God continued, “are creatures of this world, but your External is the truth beyond this world. The External cannot be touched by ordinary powers, and only a few entities are capable of reaching or affecting the External. I am one of them.”


God turned its cold gaze toward King Shin. “That is why I say your power means nothing before me. I can touch your External and erase you from true existence.”


King Shin, who had once felt like an unshakable ruler, now experienced a fear he had never known before. “What do you want with this knowledge? Why are you telling us this secret?” he asked with a trembling voice.


God smiled faintly, though its face remained undefined. “I am not telling you this to frighten you. I want you to understand your position in this existence. And,” its voice grew sharper, “so that you know that every action you take will always have consequences. Your External is the eternal witness to everything you do.”


God concluded its explanation with a final warning: “However, while your External makes you immortal in a certain sense, it also makes you vulnerable to forces capable of touching that dimension. Be cautious of what you oppose, for only a few can truly understand the meaning of immortality.”


With that explanation, the world felt larger and more terrifying than ever before. The beings in this world now knew that they were merely shadows of something much greater. Meanwhile, God continued to hover above the world, observing with wisdom yet full of power, leaving all the beings with a feeling of insignificance and helplessness in the face of the truth just revealed.
