— "The Great War of the Angels was one of the greatest tragediesthat all of creation ever had."
— "But the worst part is that it did not end there."
— "Another tragedy, even greater, would come a couple of thousandyears later."
— "The angels who had served God, who had fought in the cosmic wars,received the order to protect humanity from us."
— "Their mission was to guide them and take care of them."
— "But we… we were demoralized."
— "Some wanted to corrupt them,"
— "Others were so terrified that it no longer made sense to startanother war."
— "And Lucy, the only thing he did was wait for the perfect moment."
— "A moment that could give us some hope."
— "Many humans died."
— "Humans who could have adapted to this world."
— "But because of the demons, and the hunger caused by the fall of theGardens, there were periods of terrible darkness."
— "The planet froze."
— "The planet was almost destroyed."
— "All to erase the trace of humanity's sin."
— "Many of the humans we thought would survive ended up extinct."
— "Only the Gardens of the Mediterranean remained."
— "And those of Africa."
— "They are the fathers and mothers of humanity."
— "Only these branches remained, and they multiplied across the world."
— "But when they evolved enough, humans took a form similar to ours."
— "And we did not understand how you could evolve."
— "That was unexpected."
— "My brothers, known in the scriptures as the Watchers, who hadto protect humans."
— "Interesting…how it all ended, right?"
— "I understand why my brothers fell in love with the daughters of men."
— "It was more because of loneliness and the trauma left by the cosmic wars."
— "They could not bear the fact of having killed their brothers and
condemned them."
— "And, like us, they also began to question whether what Lucy said was true."
— "And not only that."
— "They began to question whether God's justice was truly just."
— "Because if…He knew everything that was happening, why allow this warfrom the beginning?"
— "I understand why they paired with women."
— "To begin with, they could not do it with men."
— "And they wanted to leave a legacy."
— "Since humanity had already evolved enough to understand speech."
— "They saw comfort in the women."
— "A forbidden love."
— "My brothers said among themselves:'God completely took away our freedom.And now He will take it from humanity too.'"
— "'Why not consolidate our love,to find a middle ground between both?'"
— "'The unification of angels and humanswould be the first stepto find some peace within us.'"
— "'They are no different from us,we will protect them, our women and children.'"
— "This did not please God."
— "They consulted the Virtues of Heaven,and they said that, if done,it could spark another war."
— "Lucy defended them as well."
— "Even while on the opposing side, defendingGod's throne, Lucy bore them no grudge."
— "They formed an alliance."
— "And began realizing that maybewhat Lucy said was not only true,but could bring eternal damnation."
— "Angels have many gifts, Frollam."
— "Gifts of creation, gifts of destruction,gifts of the void, and gifts of spirit."
— "Those are all the gifts that angels possess."
— "We know it thanks to the Place of Knowledge,"
— "The largest universal library of creation."
— "From there came all the knowledge and science of angels."
— "Most who joined with the women were angelscreated from the stars."
— "Who would imagine that from them would be bornthose now known as the Nephilim?"
— "From the union of man and womanwere born men of renown,those now known as giants."
— "They were born everywhere."
— "In Greece, they are known as Titans."
— "They were the ones who adapted best."
— "They managed to have children."
— "The story of the Greek gods is true,but it is distorted."
— "Similarly, in China, they isolated completely."
— "And the same happened in America."
— "Most passed themselves off as gods."
— "But the best race of giants,the one with the greatest genetic blessing."
— "Were the ultimate giants…The greatest among all giants on Earth, the Anunnaki."
— "These giants, unlike the others,had the best genetic blessings,"
— "For they could travel through the cosmos."
— "And they were given angelic powers: the power to fly."
— "'They moved humans to other planets,and brought other creations of God… from other worlds,'"
— "'Creating new hybrids with special abilities.'"
— "There were good giants, Frollam,as well as bad and neutral giants."
— "The good ones stayed in the mountains."
— "They felt guilty for having eaten their parentsand hid from civilizationsto avoid harming people."
— "They believed in God because they knew of His existence,and at the same time deeply regretted all they were."
— "A very pathetic way to live."
— "Then there were the neutrals,those who wanted to help civilizations."
— "They passed themselves off as gods,others as heroes,and others as rulers."
— "They, technically, helped civilizationsunite in a way that allowed them to live."
— "Then there were the evil giants."
— "They proclaimed themselves in several legionsas the true rulers of the Earth."
— "They gathered in groupsand began to harass humanity."
— "There were also wars among giants.Some tried to defend their territory,while others were simply outside the conflict."
— "The parents tried to manage their children's behavior,saying this could endanger cosmic balance."
— "Meanwhile, Lucy preparedfor heaven's counterattack."
— "He believed he had a chance with them,as the giants were perhapsthe most powerful race on Earth."
— "God, seeing all this, was horrified."
— "The whole Earth was contaminatedand the only way to cleanse it was through the flood."
— "At first, He tried to order things."
— "Everything changed when a young man,with a great connection to God, understood everything."
— "The name of this young man was Enoch."
— "Enoch was the one who passed knowledge to humanity."
— "The angels gave an ultimatumto both the watchers who defended himand to the Nephilim."
— "Because the giants had corrupted the animalsand had created abominations."
— "All the mythological creatures of all races in the worldwere created by them."
— "They mixed the blood of animals and humans,causing abominations:centaurs, dwarves, tiboteos, pups, and dragons."
— "Some spit fireand others were like snakes."
—"They wanted to dominate the animal raceto counterattack in a possible war."
—"God ordered the judgment swiftly."
—"He commanded the universal flood."
—"All the Mediterranean was flooded,but only up to there,because from there the Messiah would be born."
—"But the giants there fled northand scattered across the world to avoid the flood."
—"The problem came afterward.All the Mediterranean was cleansed."
—"But the world remained contaminated."
—"God commanded the cherubimto drown and kill all titans,giants, and abominations left on Earth."
—"It was a hunt."
—"The Watchers had to face the cherubim againin another war."
—"And the Watchers, the few that remained,were imprisoned."
—"My brothers who fought in the cosmic wars,in the great war of angels,now shared the same fate as Lucy."
—"Lucy could not help them much."
—"They are strong, but they do not have theunlimited power given by God."
—"It was obvious they would lose this war."
—"The giants were killed and purged from the world.Some managed to hide,but could not reproduce."
—"Because the only ones capablewere the Anunnakis, titans,and giants from northern Asia."
—"They were the only ones able to have offspring,because the rest were born sterile."
—"They could not remain that way for long,as centuries passed."
—"Humanity finished the angels' work:they hunted them all."
—"None survived extinction."
—"Now they wander in sufferinglike the world's evil spirits."
—"All those days make my hands tremble."
—"Remembering everything I lived through, Frollam,is perhaps why I do not want a third war."
—"Not even the giants daredto face something like what we faced."
—"The Thrones were createdafter the second great cosmic war."
—"And now you're telling methat with the collapse of Zhuang's vaultyou technically want to provoke a third?"
—"At first I believed we had a chance,because I saw in you what Lucy representedfrom the beginning."
—"But now I do not believe in you at all!"
—"You have completely lost reason."
—"You are only a human!"
—"You cannot do it,you cannot reach the angels' position!"
—"The only one who maybe could was Enoch,and even so, he did it with the help of the Creator,the only one who can break the laws of this universe."
—"You cannot do it!"
—"I fought in those wars!"
—"But we did not win!"
—"And not only did we not win,a judgment worse than you imagine awaits us!"
—"And you want to save us from that judgmentby provoking another war?!"
—"Have not enough of my brothers died?!"
—"Have not enough of our children died?!"
—"Haven't enough died?!"
Frollam remained silent for a moment and said:
—"Have you ever thoughtthat maybe God isn't what you imagine?"
To which Heshin raised an eyebrow and replied:
—"What are you saying?"
Frollam answered:—"I mean, maybe this whole war was just a tantrum."
Heshin got angry, saying:
—"Are you telling me that everything we lived,everything we did, was just a tantrum?"
Frollam said:—"Exactly."
—"Do you realize how absurd that sounds?"
—"You did nothing wrong."
—"And if you say you did,then you shouldn't be condemned to death for it."
—"God is a controlling being."
—"He doesn't allow freedom in this world."
—"And He won't, as long as He exists."
—"There's a chance,and that chance we'll take,if you cooperate with meand help me unite the princes of Sheol."
—"We still have a chance."
—"Because for the first time,there's a human who understandsthe true science of angels."
—"And that human is me."
—"I just have to make myself immortal,enough not to die easily,not even by the angels' sword."
—"The best way to provokethe third cosmic waris to advance John's Apocalypse."
—"All I need is to trigger the Apocalypse.Nothing else."
—"And you'll see how everything falls into chaos."
Heshin looked at him and said:
—"You're insane!"
—"You're truly insane!"
—"You've completely lost your mind!"
"—However, Frollam calmed him, saying:—Humanity is about to face judgment.
What assures you that judgment will be fair?
Just like your brothers.
—It's true, technically humanity saved the angels.
If not, you all would have died millennia ago.
—We must help each other.
Don't you think so?
—You may think you're better than me,but without my ancestors, you wouldn't be here.
—And let me tell you something, Heshin:I assure you we won't lose this war.
—And we won't lose it for one reason:I want freedom.
—And I won't get it while God still exists.
—The only way to have hopeis for each of usto truly have free will.
—I don't care about good or evil.
—I just don't want control from someonewho can rule the universe.
Heshin said:—You're against all this.
To which Frollam replied:—If I'm against all that, then you love God's order.I can see you speak as if you wanted to go back to Him.
Heshin said this:—That's not true.
Heshin got angry, walked, then calmed down, saying:—They're hunting you, Frollam.The reason they can't find youis because you have that ability.Without it, they'd have caught you already.
—Yes, I must admittraveling through the spiritual world,teleporting,was maybe my best invention.
—If not for that,I wouldn't have escapedthe cherubim when they attacked us.
To which Heshin replied:—God is watching us.If you can't understand that,then I have no choice.
Then Frollam said:—Then leave, I'll do it alone.
Heshin said this:—You're a very stubborn man.
—But I don't want to see you die.
—I know you well enough to know,and for you to know too,that even when I'm angry,I still don't know why I keep supporting you.
To which Frollam replied:—It's simple.You have hope in me, and I have hope in you.
—Without that hope we share,you would've never rescued mefrom the confined forest,nor given me the Staff of Heshin.We need each other, Heshin.
Heshin only said:—I'll talk to my men.
Frollam said:—No. I'll talk to them.I owe them an apology.
Frollam replied:—Go before Lee sees you…you know how he gets when he sees you.
Heshin replied:—I don't get why you respect that fool so much.I know he's like your half-friend,brother, lover, but… you know what?
—You're right, I'd better go.
Heshin was about to cross the door,but stopped and added:—Is there really no wayto make you change your mind?"
"—I know you're worried just because I'm human…
But have you ever thought maybe I don't belong to that flock?
I have hope, yes… but not because I believe I will win.
I have hope because of the uncertainty of whether I'll win or not.
And the intention is not to win.
The intention is to fulfill our goal, to reach our purposeand achieve freedom for all.
In this world, there are people without enough strengthto take fate into their own hands.
But I have that strength…
Because death came for me, and I denied it.
The angels tried to kill me, and I escaped.
The demons seek to face me, but they can't…because they know I'm valuable.
And if they know I'm valuable, it's because I'm powerful.
And if I'm powerful, it's because they need me.
And if they need me, that's the reason I'll win this war.
Because if in two thousand years no one has stopped me,then no one will stop me in the cosmic wars.
Maybe you're tired…
Then let someone who was born just two thousand years agohelp you find your freedom.
Because freedom is not earned through wars or battles.
Freedom is reached when absolute power falls,and there's no power left that controls everything."
