Superstar From Age 0 - Chapter 755
Chapter 755
“Ah! You scared me! Why did you scream all of a sudden?”
The girl was startled when her friend, who was standing behind the statue of the God of Music, let out a scream.
“His eyes, eyes, eyes are open!”
The friend pointed at the statue of the God of Acting across from them, shaking her hand.
“What? What are you talking about?”
The girl looked at the statue that her friend was pointing at.
!!
The statue of the God of Acting, who was reading a script with his eyes closed a moment ago, had opened his eyes and was still reading the script. His pupils stood out like ink drops on a white paper, clearly visible from head to toe on the snow-white statue.
That was when it happened.
The black pupils of the statue that was reading the script rolled around and looked at the people standing behind the statue of the God of Music.
Their lively eyes met the girl’s eyes.
Aaaah!!
From the first people who made eye contact with the statue to the ones who noticed the anomaly later, screams erupted from their mouths like a firestorm.
In the center of the temple.
Seo-jun, who still had his eyes closed, barely held back his laughter at the screams full of shock and surprise.
He guessed that his juniors, who were disguised as statues, were also struggling to keep their composure and act.
‘It’s fun, but… I can’t just leave them like this.’
He had to proceed to the next step, so he had to calm them down.
Light flowed from the wrist of Seo-jun, who was disguised as a statue.
It was a light that only Seo-jun could see.
[(Good) The calming scent of apple blossoms is activated.]
The fragrant scent of apple blossoms flowed from Seo-jun and quickly spread to the temple and beyond the fence.
The people who were startled by the sight of the statues opening their eyes calmed down as they smelled the scent.
The screams soon subsided.
Then, the gentle orchestra music that was hidden by the screams began to reach their ears.
As their minds became calm, their thoughts began to work.
“Those statues, they were people…”
It was someone’s murmur, but it was heard by everyone who was watching in the quiet situation.
As they all widened their eyes and looked at the statues again, a member of the art team who was disguised as a priest rang a bell and uttered the prepared line.
“O God. Please, bestow your blessings upon those who prayed to you.”
As soon as he finished, the statues stepped forward with their right foot at the same time.
“They’re moving!”
Gasp!
They really are moving!
Even though they knew they were people, seeing them actually move made them gasp in awe.
The statues that stepped forward with their right foot moved their bodies back slowly with stiff movements like robots that were not well-oiled, so that they could see the people who had prayed behind them.
Their movements of turning back were also perfectly synchronized.
The first-year acting major who was disguised as the God of Art almost laughed at the sight of the people behind him who had their mouths wide open as if a fly could enter.
It was hard to stand still with his eyes closed for 25 minutes, but seeing the surprised people made him feel like his lips were curling up.
But he held it in.
Seo-jun oppa’s hell training would not crumble like this.
Shall we do it again?
Let’s do it one more time.
Again. Just one more time.
He shivered as he recalled Seo-jun oppa’s smiling face as he said those words.
The statues that had the same thought calmed their excited hearts and continued to act according to the script.
The six lower gods who were looking inside the temple turned 180 degrees and looked at the believers who were standing behind them.
Then, they smiled kindly and gently, and nodded slightly as if greeting them.
They moved smoothly like humans (because they were humans).
The people behind them also bowed reflexively in response.
How should I put it?
It was a very mysterious and strange feeling.
It felt like they had entered a myth.
The people outside the fence also felt something similar.
Ding-
The bell rang again.
“Then, let us all pray to the God.”
At the priest’s words, the God of Health, who was standing closest to the entrance of the temple, turned his body and walked forward with big strides. He then went to the entrance and stood on the far right. The believers of the God of Health (?), who were puzzled by the statue’s movement, were kindly told by the priests.
“You can follow him.”
Following the priests’ guidance, the believers of the God of Health gathered behind the God of Health, who was looking at the God statue at the entrance.
Next was the God of Love, who was facing the God of Health.
The God of Love, who was holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, walked gracefully on the platform, holding his long skirt with one hand.
He then stood on the far left, opposite the God of Health.
The Koreans, who were quick and fast, followed the moving statue of the God of Love before the priests’ guidance and stood behind him.
They clasped their hands and moved devoutly, as if they had become the true believers of the God of Love.
The other believers (?) who had not moved yet felt their cheeks flush at the sight of the people who were 200% immersed.
“This is fun!”
“Right!”
Next, the God of Art moved next to the God of Health.
Two high school students and four art majors followed him with excited faces, but with devout steps.
Then, the God of Learning, the God of Music, and the God of Acting walked on the white platform like a runway and took their places at the entrance of the temple.
The snow-white statues that were lined up and looking at the God statue and the believers behind them.
It was a mystical sight even from outside the fence.
“…Is it over?”
“Are those statues in the middle real statues?”
No matter how they looked, the three statues at the end looked like real statues.
Especially, the God statue in the middle looked cold and chilly like a real marble statue.
That was when it happened.
Instead of the clear bell sound that had been ringing, the melody of the orchestra that had been playing quietly in the background began to grow louder.
It sounded clear in their ears.
“What is this?”
“It’s Jason Moore’s new song. The title is Break, and the violin solo that changes in the middle is very impressive…”
The music major who was explaining stopped talking.
The people who were listening to the explanation did not ask him to continue. Everyone’s eyes were focused on one place.
-–!
The violin solo that was praised the most in [Break] filled the temple and the outside.
At the same time, the two statues on either side of the God statue opened their eyes.
Their exposed pupils were very fierce.
The two guard statues that opened their eyes moved forward with stiff movements like robots, just like the other statues.
They made a sound like thud- as if their heavy stone feet were hitting the ground.
The two guard statues, who moved their weapons and shields slowly as if checking them, turned their bodies toward the God statue and knelt down on one knee with smooth movements.
At the same time, the six lower gods who were standing in a row at the entrance also looked at the God statue and knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads.
“Huh? Huh?”
“What’s going on?”
The eight statues that bowed their heads made the believers and the people outside the fence confused.
When that happened.
A bright light shone on the God statue.
The highlight of the violin solo from [BREAK] was also heard.
As the title “Break and Shatter” suggested, the violin melody was very intense and free, breaking the frame of the orchestra with a brilliant performance.
Just like the statue of the supreme god right now.
The white eyelashes and eyelids of the supreme god statue slowly lifted up.
Underneath them, black pupils that resembled the starry night sky appeared.
Everyone held their breath in the strange atmosphere.
Inspired by the encore stage of Bluemoon, who had disconnected from the [Orchestra Conductor], Jason Moore’s violin solo from [BREAK] became more and more fierce.
The white feet of the supreme god statue stepped forward.
For some reason, they felt a heavy and dull sensation as if the heavy statue had moved.
It was a sense of weight that they could not feel from the six lower gods.
The supreme god statue, who had taken the first step, continued to walk forward.
Like a bird that breaks a thick egg and comes out to a new world.
Breaking the thick shell of the statue, he walked forward smoothly and without hesitation.
There was a small fountain in front of him.
When the people who noticed it thought, ‘If he keeps walking like that, he will fall into the water?’, the fountain that had been gushing out from the center of the temple subsided.
The supreme god dipped his white feet into the calm water without hesitation.
And he walked on the water as if he was walking on flat ground. Behind the supreme god, ripples spread like footprints.
As the supreme god approached, the people felt a pressure that made them want to bow down like the other statues, along with a soft and warm energy.
If there really was a god, wouldn’t it feel like this?
I felt a reverence without knowing it.
And so,
The supreme god came down to the side of the lower gods and the believers.
***
The people who saw the supreme god statue up close were speechless and lost their minds.
He looked like a real god of beauty. He looked handsome even from afar, but he looked even more handsome when he saw him up close.
‘How can a person look like this? Isn’t he just a real sculpture?’
And his aura was amazing too. He just looked down quietly, but he felt something different from ordinary people.
Is he a real god? No, there is no god, right? But he’s here. Wait, then is there a god?
All kinds of thoughts seemed to pass through their minds, but they felt like they had no thoughts at all.
That’s why no one noticed that the violin solo from [BREAK] that was playing from the speaker had stopped.
The expressionless supreme god statue looked at the lower gods who were kneeling and the believers (?) who were staring blankly and lifted the corners of his mouth softly. And he slowly opened his mouth.
“-To you-”
It was Korean, but it sounded like it wasn’t Korean.
“-May you be blessed-”
It was a pre-recorded voice with sound effects added, and Seo-jun’s ability was added to it, but the people didn’t notice. They just stared blankly.
[The supreme god Jeruel blesses the people.]
[The grade of the supreme god Jeruel’s blessing (top grade) temporarily decreases.]
[The supreme god Jeruel’s blessing (middle-high grade) is activated.]
[The supreme god Jeruel’s blessing (middle-high grade)]
It is a blessing given by the supreme god Jeruel.
If you have something you sincerely wish for, and it is a right thing, it increases the possibility of it coming true.
If you work hard, the possibility will be higher.
Is it just a feeling?
Something warm seeped into their bodies, and they felt a sense of fulfillment.
They felt like they could do anything, a feeling of excitement and joy that seemed to spring from their hearts.
They wanted to keep feeling this way, but time didn’t stop.
Ding-
A clear bell rang and [BREAK] started playing from the speaker again. But it was not the violin solo, but the orchestra’s performance.
In sync with that, the supreme god who had given the blessing turned his body and started walking on the water. As the supreme god passed through the pond, the water of the fountain gushed out again.
It was like playing a video backwards.
He reached his place and turned his body to face the front.
And as if he had never moved, he closed his eyes gently in the same posture as before.
He became a statue again.
It was not only him.
The two escort statues who were kneeling, and the six lower god statues who were bowing their heads in a row, also got up from their places, and returned to their places like the supreme god statue, and closed their eyes in the same posture.
If they compared the photos taken before the blessing ceremony and the photos now, they would look exactly the same.
Ding- Ding- Ding-
Three bells rang.
Then the white curtain that was up came down and blocked the inside of the temple. Without any gaps, the entrance of the temple was also covered, and the priest bowed and smiled.
“This was the collaboration project of the acting, art, and stage art departments, the Temple.”
“Thank you. The exit is this way.”
The priests smiled and guided the 30 participants who were inside the fence to the outside of the fence.
With a blank mind, the participants who followed the priests and the people who were watching from the outside looked at the temple that was tightly closed with a lost expression, and gasped and breathed out.
“…Wow, that was crazy…!”
“Is this real… Wow… What is this?!”
“Did we just dream?!”
As the people who had an amazing experience started to spit out their impressions without any sense, the lawn in front of them became noisy in an instant.
