Divine Comedians A game of petty immortals

It took the Comedian a minute or two to stop laughing. Even when He did, it was visible that He had difficulties keeping a straight face.   "I see the misunderstanding, He finally answered. You... you were assuming that just because mankind has finally got out of its caves and evolved smartphones and subways, you would be some kind of threat to Us? To Me?

You shouldn't take it like it. This is the 21st century. We have nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs even. We have smart missiles. We have satellites that can track you anywhere on Earth. And you... you haven't even changed in the last five millennia. What kind of weapon do you have that can counter all that?

No, no, you're right, Mister President, He answered, still attempting to stifle a new bout of laughter, mankind is so very scary with all of its sticks and stones and mutual assured destruction! I suppose it us very fortunate for Us that We hold the scariest weapon of them all.

What weapon?

Well, mankind, of course!"

He was still laughing when my bodyguards came for me, bagged me and dragged me to this place. If I count correctly, this happened seven years ago, but I'm not even sure that time elapses the same way in this realm.
