"Is this.....?"
"Yes boy. This is what is known as the heavens. To be more precise it is The True Temple of Gods"
"Oldman You are joking right?!"
"Does it looks like I am joking''
....
After a brief moment of silence, he remembered everything that happened and how he died then how he was babbling about his own past which caused him to be extremely confused and scared.
Confused about the current situation he was in and scared about the fact that gods exist.
As if knowing what the man was thinking he decided to break the silence as he said " Calm down and listen to what is have to say"
After hearing those words his body suddenly becomes calm. As if his body is just dominated by someone higher than him. Then the old man spoke again with a warm smile "Now then let me introduce myself. I am Cassiel and I am an angel. Nice to meet you again."
*gasp*
After hearing that reiji was baffled because he was meeting with a literal angel. Before he could say anything Cassiel interrupted.
" Now we will be having a tour of the temple. As a guide, I will answer every question with a few exceptions. So calm down we have all the time in the world to speak"
Just as these words come out of his mouth the doors of the gates opened and white light was coming from inside.
_______________
A few minutes
Two-person can be seen walking through a huge hall as they are closing in on another small door
"So I am pretty sure your name was Caspian before was that an alias?"
"Yes"
"So why was my life was flashing in front of my eyes a few moments ago?"
"That was the power of the 'tunnel of truth' it's something that gave us as well as yourself a chance to confront your memories, past regrets, achievements, etc. It's mostly for our convenience so that we can get a briefing about the life you led"
"... I see. Then is this whole scenario.... Is this common?"
"Yes and no. You see to understand this right I have to give a little briefing to you about gods. There are three different types of gods in the entire universe. The first one is and arguably the weakest gods are the memory gods. These can be strong as well as weak because these gods are created and gained power through a mass number of people's beliefs. And their power grows accordingly...
As casiel was explaining both of them reached the small door and as it opened reiji could see hundreds of millions of people and move around from one place to another.
At this point reiji was shocked but he managed to get his poker face which caused casiel's eyes to widen.
'His adaptability is great. Too great. It's almost scary' after coming out of his daze he coughed and continued.
Ahem!!
"As I was saying they gain and lose their power according to their people's belief in them. I expect you have heard the name of son wukong? He is one of the strongest gods in existence. Then there are other gods who have been forgotten over time. To prevent this ordeal of the death of gods the other gods decided to make something so that the gods can contact with the people and make them their believers and what you are seeing right now is just what I explained" He paused for a moment to let reiji digest the information.
" I see.... So am I here for the same reason?"
"Simply put yes and no. I haven't done explaining, have I? Don't worry you will understand everything by the end of the explanation. Now as for the second type of god they are known as high gods. They are the gods that are born with the universe itself. There isn't much to talk about them except for the fact that they also become stronger from their people but unlike the memory, gods don't die neither they get forgotten because they are a part of the human body. For example, the God of joy and happiness becomes stronger as any person in the universe feels joy or happiness."
" Go on. Why did you stop?"
'He and his scary adaptability' casiel thought as he stared at the boy with a blank expression then he started speaking again
" Alright then. There is even less to say about the third category as there is only one God there. He is the God-King and he is the God who owns the universe."
"Tell me is all this only for one planet?"
Reiji said with a tone filled with admiration.
" Pfftt.... No there are other worlds as well, and you were in one of the lesser worlds"
"I see. Now, where do I fit in? I don't know if you told me that or not but I didn't hear that part anywhere." Reiji carefully said as to not offend or flatter the old angel with an expression that shows he is carefree and very casual about this.
As a response the old angel stopped on his track turned around to face reiji as he spoke while spreading both of his hands
" YOU BOY IS THE FIRST PERSON TO GET CHOSEN BY 18 HIGH GODS."
As of waiting for a cue a large pillar of golden light surrounds both of them as they vanish into thin air.
