Episode 246.
Cleopatra’s horse called Lotan.
Siwoo tilted his head without realizing it.
‘Lotan…?’
Because I couldn’t figure out what Lotan meant.
It was clear that he had seen this monstrosity and was speaking in response to it.
That means this monster is Rotan.
And this monstrosity is a demon and a wound-level executive of Pandemonium.
Among the demons, if you were to name one… .
“Are you talking about Satan?”
Satan.
The devil is the representative devil that comes to mind when you think of the devil.
Satan is a demon that appears in Christianity, but his appearance and characteristics are not clearly known.
However, according to the story recorded in the Book of Revelation, the red dragon fought with Archangel Michael.
Also, according to the story recorded in Genesis, the serpent who tempted Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was Satan.
The source of all evil in this world.
Furthermore, Yahweh is the only god in the cultural spheres of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
The absolute evil that opposed the transcendent God known to us was Satan.
In a word, Satan was clearly a being that could be called the greatest devil.
But now.
“This is… Satan?”
This squirming, loathsome abomination?
No, the form didn’t really matter.
In the first place, Satan’s appearance was different depending on his purpose.
The key is why Satan is in Siwoo’s hands.
That is, the question was how he was on Earth and how he was treated so pointlessly by Siwoo.
Of course, I wasn’t fooled into thinking it was worthless.
With the power of replication, Siwoo used his divine powers indiscriminately.
If Siwoo hadn’t awakened his true power, it would have been a difficult fight.
Maybe it was Siwoo who suffered the most.
‘But it’s still strange.’
Still, the strange thing was true.
If it was the Satan that Siwoo knew, it should have been even stronger.
Even if you awaken your true strength, you can see that it is a difficult opponent to defeat.
But the mad fox was now heard as Siwoo’s monster.
Could it be that Satan too was weakened by the absence of divinity?
[hmm….]
Cleopatra brought her face closer.
After a while, he lowered his head and observed the monster carefully.
The inside of the clothes is briefly exposed.
[It’s a bit ambiguous because of the shape…]
Cleopatra has been saying this with a really ambiguous expression on her face.
“this….”
Because of that, Siwoo was even more confused.
Ambiguous meant it could be true or it could not be true.
That means.
This meant that there was a possibility that this monster was Satan.
‘But this… .’
Did I mishear that?
There was no way that could happen.
Because communication on GotTube was conveyed through intention, not language.
There could be no mistranslation except in very rare cases.
Even trivial jokes were translated appropriately and communicated, weren’t they?
‘Then is it different from the Satan I know?’
This was quite possible.
The Satan that Cleopatra knew.
The Satan that Siwoo knows.
There could be a difference between these two concepts.
Didn’t Cleopatra originally say Lotan, not Satan?
It was quite possible that the two concepts did not coincide.
For example, there were beings named Satan in every myth.
The official name for Satan is Satanas.
In some regions, it is called Saturnus in Roman mythology.
That is, Cronus was also called Satan.
Zeus’ father, Kronos.
Cronus was once the supreme god in Greco-Roman mythology, but he committed the terrible atrocity of devouring his own children as soon as they were born.
Later, he vomits out all the children he had swallowed after being tricked by Zeus.
Cronus, furious at this, summons all the Titans to kill Zeus.
To counter this, Zeus gathered together the Otrus gods under his command.
And the great war for world hegemony, Titanomachy.
This war lasted for ten long years, and eventually Zeus succeeded in sealing Cronus in Tartarus.
Tartarus.
Naraku, the lowest level of the underworld.
It is the hell of demons, or in other words, Pandemonium.
Zeus seals Cronus in Pandemonium.
seal.
Cronus is not dead.
It was simply sealed in Pandemonium and disappeared into the back alleys of history.
When I see stories like this… .
This Satan could possibly be Kronos.
The Satan Cleopatra spoke of was Saturnus.
That is, there was a clear possibility that it was Kronos.
‘If that were the case, then Hercules would have known about it, right?’
Hercules did not know the identity of this monster.
If this Satan was Cronus, Hercules could not have not recognized him.
Cronus was the father of Zeus, and Hercules was the son of Zeus.
Genealogically, Cronus is Hercules’ grandfather.
That is, they had the same blood mixed in.
Hercules, who immediately noticed Siwoo’s changed strength, doesn’t recognize that they are of the same blood?
Well, that could be possible.
But the chances were very low.
That means there is a ‘Lotan’ that has a different meaning.
So at that moment, when Siwoo was about to ask Cleopatra again.
[No, not Satan, but Lotan.]
Cleopatra slowly rose to her feet.
Unlike the ambiguous expression just now, his expression was firm.
Because of that, Siwoo became even more confused.
“The word ‘Lotan’ is not Satan….”
Satan and Lotan.
Because Cleopatra clearly distinguished between these two concepts.
This means that Satan and Lotan are different beings.
So what is the identity of this monster?
“…ah.”
Only then was Siwoo able to figure out the identity of this monster.
“Are you talking about Leviathan?”
Leviathan.
A monster and demon from the deep sea that appears in the Old Testament.
As a powerful demon that rules over the sea, it was also known as a vicious demon that indiscriminately devoured humans passing through the sea.
Unable to bear it any longer, God Yahweh draws his sword and kills Leviathan.
The monster commonly known to us as ‘Leviathan’.
However, Leviathan’s real name was none other than ‘Lotan’.
Lotan
It is a sea monster that appears in Ugaritic mythology, and its appearance and abilities are identical to those in the Old Testament.
So, the Lotan of the Ugaritic mythology was simply renamed Leviathan when it was transmitted to Judaism.
[I’m sure many of you know it by that name.]
As expected, the Lotan that Cleopatra spoke of seemed to be Leviathan.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind that I was completely sure of.
[I’m not sure because I only encountered it a few times on Godtube about a thousand years ago. Above all, I’m not sure if it’s called Lotan… or Leviathan, because of its shape.]
Because Cleopatra’s memory is so old.
Also, because the shape was a shamish monster, it was difficult to be certain.
Yet the reason Cleopatra said Lotan.
Plus, the reason she was able to encounter Leviathan on GotTube.
[Your culture and our Egyptian culture have a complex relationship in many ways.]
Siwoo nodded slightly at Cleopatra’s continued words.
More precisely, it could be seen as being related to Judaism.
Egypt and Judaism are inseparable.
For example, Moses, the great leader of the Exodus who divided the Red Sea in half.
Moses was a prince of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
anyway.
‘hmm….’
Siwoo was lost in deep thought.
Is it really true that this monstrosity is Leviathan?
Of course, it was true that it leaned heavily towards Leviathan.
But the reason I wasn’t sure was because of its strength.
The crazy fox was too weak.
Of course, it was true that Siwoo was able to defeat him because he had awakened his own power.
Objectively, the crazy fox was not weak.
However, it did not possess the strength befitting the name Leviathan.
If the mad fox was Leviathan, he shouldn’t have fallen like that.
Leviathan is a demon who rules the sea and is the sea itself.
Why else would God, Yahweh, have to step forward?
Compared to that Leviathan, the mad fox was so weak.
Could it be because of the absence of divinity?
‘hmm….’
There was no ambiguity.
There were so many things that I couldn’t easily be certain of or confident about.
‘I need to check it properly.’
It seemed like this needed to be properly checked.
So, the characters of GodTube who belong to the Jewish cultural sphere.
It seemed necessary to ask Jewish figures directly whether this monstrosity was indeed Leviathan.
Cleopatra’s testimony alone was not enough to be certain.
Although she is said to be associated with Judaism, she was a figure from the Egyptian cultural sphere.
‘Then who should I ask?’
There were many people on GotTube who belonged to the Jewish cultural sphere.
Solomon, called the king of wisdom.
Moses, the great leader of the Exodus mentioned earlier.
Goliath, who was seen in the comments on the Hercules channel a while ago, was also a figure from the Jewish cultural sphere.
There were many figures from the Jewish cultural sphere on Godtube, as they had a profound influence on human history.
At the moment, there are two subscriptions left.
‘hmm….’
Siwoo continued to think for a long time while standing there.
* * *
next day.
SH Hospital’s special room.
“Then, Heukdol, please take good care of me.”
Wow!
At Siwoo’s words, Heukdoli jumped up and barked.
And then he stood upright in the center of the large special ward and swung left and right!
He showed his serious expression and appeared alert.
At first glance, it looked like the behavior of a puppy that didn’t know what was cool.
But if you really thought that way, you could get in big trouble.
No, the big nose could have been bitten off.
Is it because Gleipnir was broken above all else?
Krrrr! Woof woof!
It was a more lively Black Stone than before.
As long as Heukdol was guarding Seo-ah, there was no problem with her safety.
Siwoo patted Heukdol’s head and left the hospital room.
“Hey, Mr. Kim! Move quickly! The patients will be more uncomfortable if we delay!”
“okay!”
As I left the hospital room, there was a commotion as repairs were being made to the damaged ward.
I couldn’t hear anything when I was in the hospital room.
Perhaps because it was a special room, the soundproofing was perfect.
Siwoo moved away to avoid the workers’ attention.
Then I looked at the Godtube floating above my retina.
‘It’s convenient because I don’t have to look at my smartphone.’
Although I sometimes miss that feeling, this one is overwhelmingly more convenient.
I felt like I would never go back to the days before GotTube Premium.
Well, anyway.
‘As expected, there are Jewish people on GodTube too… .’
And they were also active on GotTube.
『
『
Of course, I was active in a GodTube-like manner.
And the title of the video Solomon uploaded.
‘Was Solomon judging the case between Hades and King Yeomra?’
According to Hercules, it was Hades and King Yeomra who went to court over which realm a mixed-blood should belong to.
And now that I look at it, it seems like Solomon was left to decide.
The king of judgment to whom even the gods of Gottube entrust their judgments.
Maybe that’s why.
‘I think Solomon looks better.’
Siwoo also thought it would be a good idea to ask Solomon.
Solomon, who even Hades and King Yeomra trusted and entrusted to him.
Additionally, Solomon had close ties to the devil.
The 72 demons of Solomon.
Ancient demons belonging to the 72nd rank in demonology.
Baal, Amon, Asmodeus, Dantalion, etc.
Solomon seals all the demons, each of which is of the level of a demon god.
Solomon could be called a wise man when it came to the devil.
Of course you would know something about Leviathan.
As it happens, there are two subscriptions left.
In many ways, there was no reason not to ask Solomon.
but.
‘We have to be able to meet.’
There was no way to meet Solomon.
The only thing Siwoo can get with the subscription is Solomon’s power.
It was not possible to communicate directly with Solomon.
To ‘ask’ about the devil, one had to meet Solomon in person.
‘If you ask Hercules… .’
I was sure I could get in touch with him somehow.
But, it’s only a matter of being able to contact each other.
‘There’s no way you’ll meet me.’
It was unknown whether Solomon would help Siu.
Of course, I had already told Hercules just in case.
But seeing as there was still no contact, it seemed as expected.
‘I think I should be the one to help first.’
Just like in the time of Hua Tuo and Zhuge Liang.
But is that an easy task?
‘Should I focus the next Hercules video content on this thread?’
Siwoo walked while checking Solomon’s video.
How many steps did you take like that?
“Siwoo, are you here?”
He suddenly came to his senses at the sound of someone calling Siwoo.
Parking lot at the main entrance of SH Hospital.
When I looked there, there was Han Chae-rin’s personal secretary, Kim Min-jae.
A promise with Han Chae-rin to go to Geomseon together with none other than Geomseon.
“Please get in the car.”
Kim Min-jae opened the back seat door of a luxury sedan.
Siwoo turned off the notification window of GodTube that appeared on his retina and looked around.
After confirming that Han Chae-rin was not visible, he asked Kim Min-jae.
“I guess Chaerin hasn’t arrived yet.”
“The young lady is currently undergoing physical therapy.”
Physiotherapy?
Siwoo tilted his head without realizing it.
What physical therapy all of a sudden?
Didn’t you say you were suffering from a mental illness?
Did you get injured in the fight with Lee Ye-jun?
“Is Chaerin hurt a lot?”
“No, that’s not it.”
“Then why physical therapy…?”
When Siwoo asked, Kim Minjae answered with a very determined expression.
“Physical therapy for the disease.”
At this, Kim Min-jae showed a very proud expression.
The corners of his lips were quivering, showing his pride in himself.
I thought what he just said was incredibly witty and full of sense.
‘… It’s been a long time.’
It felt refreshing to hear it after a long time.
Above all, if you use it on Cleopatra, won’t she be so shocked that she’ll faint?
I was worried that I might faint from lack of breath.
‘I should try it out next time we meet.’
I don’t know if there will be a next time we meet, though.
While I was savoring Kim Min-jae’s silly gags like that.
“You were here first.”
A clear voice was heard from behind.
Let’s turn our heads and look. As expected.
Han Chae-rin was walking towards me.
Han Chae-rin in neat civilian clothes instead of a pink hospital gown.
“I was a little late because I had something to do.”
Han Chae-rin spoke with a slightly apologetic expression.
It was Han Chae-rin, who was no different than usual.
It was Han Chae-rin, who was as pretty as ever.
“… … .”
But Si-woo’s gaze at Han Chae-rin was different than usual.
Of course, since it was a charm [魅惑] (SR) with an on/off function added, I didn’t feel any special emotions.
But for some reason, Siwoo couldn’t look at Han Chae-rin’s face straight on.
Whenever I looked at Han Chae-rin’s face, Cleopatra’s words kept coming to mind.
I feel awkward for no reason.
“Are you receiving physical therapy well?”
Siwoo said to Han Chae-rin, pretending not to know anything.
“Physical therapy?”
Then Han Chae-rin’s small face tilted to the left.
His face looked like he had never received any physical therapy.
Siwoo also tilted his head.
Let’s look at Kim Min-jae, wondering what happened.
“Big! Ahem!”
Kim Min-jae avoided Si-woo’s eyes while repeatedly coughing excessively.
…was it a build-up?
Judging from the reaction, it seemed like that.
“Oh, come on. I’ll take you right away.”
As expected, Kim Min-jae hurriedly got into the driver’s seat.
As a result, only Siwoo and Han Chae-rin were left.
Eyes meeting by chance.
[To put it simply, the power of fascination is only activated on those whom Siwoo has sexual desire for.]
Suddenly Cleopatra’s words came to my mind.
It was clear that he was trying to tease Siwoo.
But for some reason, I couldn’t look Han Chae-rin straight in the eye.
Siwoo quickly avoided Han Chae-rin’s gaze and ran away.
I got into the open back seat.
Han Chae-rin was left alone.
“… … ?”
Han Chae-rin just tilted her head.
* * *
Inside a shaking car.
Siwoo glanced at Han Chae-rin, who was sitting right next to him.
Han Chae-rin was looking out the window.
This is the side profile of Han Chae-rin that is visible through it.
Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!
.
.
.
‘…shit.’
I honestly thought I was going crazy.
