"God!"
Although ships made of large amounts of steel and capable of sailing the seas without wind defied common sense, they didn't bring such a shock to Havier.
He saw a white column of light splitting through the dense forest, like Moses parting the sea in the Bible, a dazzling spectacle appearing in the dark night.
At this moment, Havier, who usually had little interest in religion, felt an inexplicable sense of devotion.
He gripped the window sill tightly, frantically recalling the Bible passages about God creating a passage through the sea.
Immersed in a religious atmosphere, having heard preaching from a pastor while on the merchant ship, even though Havier wasn't particularly devout, he could vaguely recall some fragments from the Bible.
He murmured, "Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance the Lord will bring you..."
At that moment, he seemed to feel a sense of redemption belonging to God, belonging to Heaven, a feeling that was cleansing his soul.
