We Can't Back Down Here

Therefore, the God Oldest One worshipped by the Israelites was...

Kevin's eye twitched slightly, his expression strange.

"Jehovah... Hua Ye... similar pronunciation... it can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"Hmm, what else? God's true name, through encryption and alteration, is often partially distorted..."

Hexi shrugged, her expression showing displeasure.

Holy crap, were those the Israelites really worshipping that old pervert?

"Later, our Merlot Heavenly Court discovered the Heavenly Scum, fought a battle with Hua Ye's remnants in the Solar System, and expelled them..."

In the Book of Isaiah, the archangel Lucifer, due to the sin of pride, led a rebellion with one-third of the angels in the northern part of the Kingdom of Heaven, but was defeated by the seraphim Michael.

This is probably the truth behind the Heavenly Realm war in the Bible: Lucifer, who was given the title of fallen archangel, was actually the former God.

Kevin compared the mythological content in his mind with the actual content and gradually came to understand.

In essence, Keisha and her group were the rebels.

Oh, no, she should be considered the angelic elder sister who set things right.

Hexi continued to ponder, then recounted some past secrets to Kevin.

"Later, we discovered that humanity had entered a patriarchal society and was not very interested in female deities."

"Furthermore, we're busy hunting down Morgana and have no interest in dealing with Earth's mess, so we chose a male Holy Son to reorganize the Papacy..."

"If we have to nitpick, Ge Xiaolun's Angel Gene partly come from that holy son."

"By the way, to distinguish religious changes, the Earth's church refers to the period of Hua Ye's rule as the [Old Testament Era]..."

"The period after our agents were conceived and born of the Virgin Maria, and then guided humanity, is called the [New Testament Era]..."

So, after all this, the rise of Christianity, culminating in the birth of Jesus Christ, was simply a sequel to your Heavenly Kingdom War?

And Ge Xiaolun, the "Galaxy Power," is actually equivalent to a new Messiah, a chosen new god of the galaxy. So, is there some connection between this and angels?

The truth should be like this...

Kevin pondered for a moment, then finally nodded, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on his face.

As Hexi said, the Old Testament era in which Hua Ye lived was filled with doctrines such as "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," "punishment," and "sanctions"—the kind of violent teachings that perpetuated these ideas...

And as the Merlot Heavenly Court banished this "God" who had been secretly plotting against them once again,

To prevent Hua Ye from making a comeback, Queen Holy Kaisa selected a Holy Son and ensured that he retained his pure kindness and forbearance, making his personality essentially the same as Ge Xiaolun's now.

Therefore, love and forgiveness became the mainstream of the new doctrine.

Even in chapter 5 of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, there is a passage where Jesus speaks to his disciples about love and forbearance.

"If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other cheek also. If someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let them take your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to those who ask of you, and do not refuse those who want to borrow from you."

In a sense, this is no longer a good person, but a saint who would sell herself...

Well, how should I put it? No wonder he was chosen as the holy son by that Queen Holy Kaisa; his doughy personality is practically a Ge Xiaolun.

In addition, there is another point that confirms the authenticity of what Hexi said.

The belief in God originated from Judaism, and to this day they only acknowledge God Jehovah, not the existence of His Son Jesus.

The transformed Christianity not only venerates Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God on earth, but also elevates the female figure of the Virgin Maria to a very high position.

Perhaps, after the Queen Holy Kaisa defeated Hua Ye, the "worship of the Virgin Mary," representing female power, has quietly emerged.

Upon hearing Kevin's analysis, Hexi, who possessed the air of a scholar, couldn't help but express her sincere admiration for her comrade's ability to fill in the gaps based on clues.

After a few words of introduction, the Heavenly Foundation King revealed a deeper issue.

"Hua Ye, that bastard, has gained power and become tyrannical, showing absolutely no respect for the lives of those from lower civilizations."

"Therefore, in order to punish heretics, he would often send a few of his henchmen to cause trouble in the name of Divine Punishment..."

"For example, Egypt suffered the Ten Plagues of God, and according to legend, ancient Babylon was also destroyed by Divine Punishment..."

"One of the most common forms of these natural disasters is—plague..."

Kevin nodded slightly, understanding what Hexi meant.

"Is Laguer the poisonous angel who spreads plague?"

Hexi sighed slightly, her expression one of annoyance.

"However, the Heavenly Kingdom War back then was carried out too hastily, causing many of those Heavenly Scum to break through the encirclement and escape to different cosmic realms..."

"The Moon Angel Sariel and the Angel of Poison Raguel that you saw were both survivors who escaped from that period..."

"This bastard isn't particularly strong, but he's a terrifying mobile source of infection. Because he's so difficult to deal with, we weren't able to take him down immediately..."

Kevin glanced at Anixid, whose face was covered in red and black lines, and said in a low voice.

"You claim to possess the [God's Medicine], surely you have a way to treat these plague victims..."

Upon hearing this, Hexi felt a headache coming on. She closed her eyes for a moment and nodded helplessly.

"However, this appears to be a novel Plague Virus, very potent, infecting far too many people..."

"Moreover, this body is just an avatar, and it lacks the support of a space-based network. In short, it will be extremely difficult to move around. I need plenty of time..."

Immediately, the Heavenly Foundation King frowned, a hint of worry showing on his face.

"My fear is that our opponents won't give us that opportunity..."

Kevin glanced at the territory of the Southern Federation, his eyes gleaming.

"There's something even more troublesome. I'm worried that [God] has already obtained information about our operation and the disappearance of the main force of the Angel Legion ..."

Upon hearing this, Hexi felt a headache coming on again. After hesitating several times, she took a deep breath and pondered.

"Forget about being shameful, I'll summon all those retired sisters to Freyja in the name of the Heavenly Foundation King..."

"Now, Anixid has the only clue left by Keisha; she absolutely cannot be harmed..."

Kevin sensed the resolve and heaviness in his comrade's voice. He stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming as he looked out into the vast expanse of space.

It seems I need to make some preparations; after nurturing it for so long, it's time to move that piece.

P. S.: I've blended Earth mythology and worldview to some extent, which gives it a kind of unrealistic feel.

Hua Ye, Jehovah, anyway, I have every reason to suspect that the production team of <Super God Academy> is definitely alluding to a certain white-bearded old man.

Chapter 997, Section 1042: We Can't Back Down Now

Southern Federation, Council Chamber.

"Bang!"

Laguer, who had just returned, was grabbed by the neck by a slender hand and slammed against the wall.

"Aaaaaah!"

The splattered blood caused several newly arrived maids in the hall to suffer an undeserved fate, collapsing to the ground clutching their rotting skin and Affliction in agony.

It's so noisy!

Sumari's gaze was cold and sharp. Without even looking, he swung his left hand behind him, Dark Silver Flying Knife swiftly severed the throats of several Deadpool.

The girl, who had narrowly escaped the spray of poisonous Blood of the Gods, witnessed the Master Angel's cruel and vicious side and screamed as she scrambled to escape through the door.

But as soon as she took a step, the flying knife that followed pierced her heart. The light in the girl's eyes gradually dimmed, and she coughed up blood and fell heavily to the ground.

"I told you beforehand that you were to use Anixid as bait to test Hexi's reaction, and that you were not to venture deep into Yordle City! Why did you act on your own?"

"Do you realize that you exposed yourself too early, which may cause my king's next plan to fail at the last moment!"

After Sumari slaughtered the mortals in the hall, his irritation subsided somewhat. With a cold snort, he casually tossed the heavily injured Laguer to the ground.

"Fool, we could have done this much more discreetly!"

"As the most renowned healer in the Merlot Heavenly Court, she will definitely intervene to save the entire city. Even if she succeeds, her strength will be greatly diminished."

"When the time comes, we'll use the lives of these ants to pay the price, and then we'll seize the opportunity to strike. Our chances of winning will be over 70%!"

"As a result, because of personal grudges, you exposed all of this!"

Laguer, his face grim, slowly rose, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression cold.

"How can we find out the enemy's true strength if we don't take some risks?"

Sumari chuckled coldly, glancing at Laguer's shrunken wing that was regrowing on his left side, his face filled with disdain.

"So, you almost got yourself killed? This generation's Right Wing Guard are really something."

Laguer a slow breath, his chest rising and falling, his injuries gradually healing, and replied coldly.

"Knowing the enemy's strength now is better than being caught off guard at the start of the war..."

Sumari's anger was palpable, and the Dark Silver dagger flew up and down in his palm. As he walked toward Laguer, he gave a sinister snort.

"We still don't know the situation of the Merlot Heavenly Court. Your appearance is tantamount to exposing the news of our army's assembly!"

"If Queen Holy Kaisa were to appear now, the King would surely kill you and send you away!"

Laguer, with his gloomy demeanor, also wore a deathly expressionless face.

"I stayed in Yordle City for quite some time, Hexi didn't even notice me."

"We can now be fairly certain that the space-based network has been destroyed, which presents an excellent opportunity for us to return to Heavenly Palace One!"

Immediately, the Poison Angel's expression softened, revealing a meaningful look.

"Besides, what's done is done. Even if you chop me into pieces and hand me over, do you think that Keisha will let you off the hook?"

"Therefore, Wang now only has one path to take..."

Sumari's hand froze, the flying Dark Silver weapon landing at his fingertips, his voice low.

"You're insane! How dare you force my King Hua Ye to make a choice!"

However, Laguer on the other side disagreed and openly expressed his judgment.

"You and I both know that King Hua Ye's biggest flaw is his indecisiveness."

"The two consecutive defeats in the Heavenly Kingdom War against the Fury Sea and the Chiwu Star System terrified him, leaving him with a psychological trauma related to that bitch Keisha..."

"Keisha is just missing; she might not be dead yet!"

"By the time he keeps testing the waters, our chance will be long gone!"

Sumari looked at his former comrade-in-arms with some surprise, his expression solemn.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if this gets exposed?"

"Kill me? Heh..."

Laguer's eyes were filled with a hint of darkness, his expression cold yet tinged with a kind of fervor.

"For tens of thousands of years, we've lived like rats, constantly hiding and running. Who still remembers the glory of the Angel Empire!"

"I've had enough of this kind of life!"

"It's worth risking my life!"

"If this revenge is necessary, then I should be the one to sound the horn!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Sumari suddenly remembered his old comrade's former honorary title—"Avenger of God".

Having experienced the Angel-Demon War, two Heavenly Kingdom War, and the establishment of the Fourth Order, the angelic race is renowned throughout the Known Universe.

The most well-known example is the [Seven Creation Angel].

[Lord of Light] Michael, [Apocalypse] Gabriel, and [Healer] Raphael are the Three Kings corresponding to the Merlot Heavenly Court.

[Lesser Jehovah] Midalun, [Soul Guardian] Sariel, [God's Avenger] Laguer are the representatives of Male Angel.

Among them, Midalun is an alias that Hua Ye was demoted and misinterpreted after his defeat, Sariel, who possesses feminine attributes, is naturally Sumari.

Laguer is the only stubborn person who uses his real name and hasn't been hunted down to death yet; it's a miracle he's still alive.

As for the seventh Creation Angel, it is Uriel, the youngest of the mythical beings to be born, who embodies God's Justice.

However, it is said that this little thing was a humanoid weapon created by the Three Kings of Merlot when they descended to Earth, but its whereabouts are still unknown.
