End-of-Volume Notes: A Must-Read, Seriously
I've finally finished the first volume. I really put my heart and soul into it. There were so many foreshadowing elements, my head is throbbing, I'm exhausted.
First, the war between God and the serpent has only just begun. Who would have thought that Marduk is Jehovah? The Holy Grail War and Goetia are all related to him. Later, they all merged into one.
Second, regarding God, I have buried many clues and given hints long ago.
1. For example, God created the world in seven days, Apsu destroyed the world in seven days.
2. The phrase "Glory, majesty, power, and authority..." comes from the Lord's Prayer in the Bible.
3. In front of the Temple of Ea, the so-called Triune God also refers to God.
4. In addition, the prototype of God in Babylon mythology is the spiritual god Enel, who is the one who caused the Great Flood in West Asia. He is a part of Marduk, so Marduk is naturally also God.
5. Furthermore, during the war God Ea, many of the divine statements and prophecies about fate were adapted from the original words of the Bible, with the majority being original. It's truly a case of someone going bald from exhaustion.
6. Well, now you know why Ishtar built the Lost Paradise, right?
III. Regarding Samael.
1. Originating from the Christian apocryphal book "The Greek Apocalypse of Baruch", Samael originally possessed the rank of Seraphim, a serpentine angel with twelve wings (the image of a Seraphim is that of a serpent), and was known on earth as the "Angel of Death" and "Dragon". "Samael held a spear with a tip coated with bile and stood in front of the night howling hellhound, scattering death as he went."
2. The so-called pseudo-canon is based on unreliable sources, so the mythical figure of Samael may not exist, which just happens to fit the origin and identity of the protagonist.
3. Israelites practice Judaism, which later developed into Christianity, and Muslims practice Islam. These are collectively known as the Three Religions and One God, meaning that the uniqueness of God is interconnected, and their foundations can be determined to originate from a single source.
Marduk has both failed and succeeded; he will indeed become the greatest religious leader and the most influential true god in the future.
3. Samael's image in Islam has been elevated to the status of Azrael, the Archangel of Death, a figure of faith within the Assassins' Order. Legend has it that the power of the Mountain God's Death originated from Azrael, which explains why the old man held Samael in such high esteem. He saw a glimpse of the future in the ancient serpent.
4. So, whether he created history or changed history, don't ask me; it's up to your own opinion.
