BERSERK: Episode 83, The God of the Abyss (2)

... God?

Welcome

Human

Are you God?...

I am

The Idea

The desired God

The Idea of Evil

God...

This, God? This huge... lump of flesh?...

What you are seeing is a part of me

My core

Look around you

What's this?!...

An ocean of feelings all humans have deep in their souls

A common consciousness that transcends individuality

Their collective consciousness

Its dark side is this swelling ocean

I was born from these swells

As the ego of this world

This world itself is I

The darkness that dwells in every human heart

The Idea of Evil

This is God

God... This...

Does that mean that...

Does that mean that it was humans who created God?

Does that mean that it was humans who desired this?

This terrifying thing?

This... This looks like...

Hell

Some call it that

Hell...

This is just the surface of multiple layers of a whole consciousness

But you know

You know that this place is terribly human

Violence and loneliness

This place is filled with all kinds of blurred negative feelings

It is truly the will that defines human nature

... Yes

it's true

This is... in me

I can feel it

But why?

Why were you born?

Why did humans give birth to this will called God?

Humans

Desired reasons

Reasons for pain

Reasons for sadness

Reasons for life

Reasons for death

Reason why their lives were filled with suffering

Reasons why their deaths were absurd

They wanted reasons for the destiny that kept transcending their knowledge

And that was

God...

And I produce those

As it is what I've been brought into existence for

I control fate

Obeying the essence of humankind

I weave every man's destiny

... Does that mean

that you're the one who controls my destiny?...

that you're the one... who arranged everything so that it would be this way?!

It was established that you would be here since a distant past

By influencing the lower levels of human consciousness

And merging blood with blood

I created the lineage that would give birth to the man you are

To pave the way for the times you would be born in

I manipulated History

And created an appropriate context for you

All the encounters you have had so far

Were all a part of the destiny that led you here as well

... The destiny...

My...

God! What do you want from me?!

Be

As you will

I dwell deep in your heart

I am a part of you

You are a part of your kind's consciousness

A part of me

Your desire is my desire as well

Your actions themselves shall prove to be suitable for your kind as a whole

May those actions bring pain or salvation to the men

Do

As you will

Chosen One

... If so

I want wings

Take within you

The power of feelings this inner world is filled with

And change the physical field that is your body

Into a suitable shape
