Eden listened to the voice, at first, he thought it was Solamus speaking. Turning sharply, he realized it was coming from his own mouth.
It was himself speaking, not Solamus.
Eden's emotions suddenly became complex, he found that his past thoughts were wrong. God seemed not to have abandoned him, he suddenly felt as if he had turned back into the priest he once was.
After a moment, having sorted his thoughts, Eden faced this and then slowly said:
"Even if you are right, then what? None of this touches the essence."
Yes, none of this touches the essence.
Whether it was the existence of God disclosed by Solamus or God's accompaniment, none touched the essence.
These could affect Eden but could not change Eden, who had become King of Kings, and were no damage to the judgment.
The judgment would still come, it remains the truth.
As Eden's words fell, the original scene slowly retreated.
