I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

"Ishtar does qualify, but..."

She will definitely make a fuss, right?

This is what Anu meant.

However, Nanna rarely remained firm in his opinion.

"It's Ishtar!"

Enki and Anu looked at each other, wanting to say something.

But when they saw the look in Nanna's eyes, they knew he had made up his mind.

As for the reason?

Enki glanced at Enlil and said nothing more.

"Ugh......"

Anu sighed, stood up and walked over to Ishtar.

Ishtar was still dreaming and muttering smugly.

"Gugalana...Gugalana..."

Excellent! Watch me punch Lugalbanda and kick Ereshkigal, and you will all prostrate yourself before this goddess!

Ishtar's smile grew even more smug.

I didn’t hear anything. Did I fall into a sweet dream?

Anu glanced at Nanna, the moon god, again.

When night falls over the earth and the moon descends into the sky, people fall asleep.

Did you do this too? Nanna.

Nanna said nothing. After expressing his firm attitude just now, he retreated into his seat and remained as low-key as ever.

"Ishtar!"

There is divine power in Anu's cry.

Ishtar was startled and woke up from her sweet dream, looking at Anu in confusion.

"What's wrong? Are you going to give me the Bull of Heaven?"

"..."

Anu was speechless at first, then a kind smile appeared on his face and he spoke softly.

"More than that! Ishtar, let me ask you, do you want freedom?"

"What do you mean?"

......

"Presided over the prayer ceremony, praying to Enki, the wise and kind father, for the prosperity of crafts; to Ishtar, the mistress of the sky, for the fertility of the land and the prosperity of livestock; and to Utu, the sun god, for the freedom from injustice and the growth of crops..."

Russell looked at the pile of stone slabs in front of him and felt a bit overwhelmed.

Is this the job of a "king"?

Why does this seem like something a high priest should do...

There are also other things like "resettlement of refugees", "construction of city walls" and "distribution of money and grain", but they are nothing special.

Russell has finished reading it, but he still needs to ask An Haiduana for the specific details.

Now...

A shadow emerged from in front of him, with holy fire flashing in his eyes, and the crown of thorns on his head was particularly dazzling.

I finally have time to explore the abilities of my Stand.

Russell looked at this substitute that seemed sacred and belonged to him, and slowly read out its name.

"Holy Diver."

This is......

A substitute is the embodiment of the soul.

It is more of a process of understanding oneself in depth than groping.

The answers are there, no guessing, no experimenting, just digging deep.

Should I say, it is consistent with my guess?

As he delved deeper into the soul, Russell finally confirmed—

His double, the power of the Holy Savior, is associated with Christianity.

Its initial form does not have the ability to attack directly and is a completely functional stand.

As for ability...

There are many Christian denominations, and there are about hundreds of major Christian denominations recognized worldwide. If all small organizations, local churches and short-lived groups are counted, the number will be incalculable.

But with so many factions, there is only one classic——

"Bible".

The power of the Holy Savior is the embodiment of Christian history and scriptures.

It has three capabilities:

In Christianity, it is common to absorb other myths and legends and label foreign gods as demons.

Its rituals, legends and theories have absorbed the essence of other classics.

Such as Easter, Christmas, Trinity, etc.

In the process of missionary work, local cultural elements are often incorporated into their own system.

Of course, mainstream churches generally deny the idea of ​​"mythic absorption."

The claim is that similarities with other religions are merely remnants of God's "general revelation" or are simply a poor imitation of the devil to deceive the world.

But in any case, its first ability is manifested like this—

After defeating the enemy, demote him to a lower position and absorb his legend and abilities.

Perhaps it could be used to show miracles like the Great Flood and the Creation of the World, or...

Russell thought thoughtfully.

The basis for the second ability should be inclined towards the most important point in the Bible - salvation.

Sacrifice and suffer, bearing the sins of the world.

Thus, people go to heaven after death, and therein lies the path to salvation.

Therefore, the second ability is to sacrifice oneself in exchange for the stand to obtain the "evolution" or "power" it needs.

The last ability is to let the "reason" flow out and fix one's own reason in every inch of the universe.

"Somewhat like the Seeking God in the Day of God's Wrath?"

Russell said uncertainly, but it felt different.

The last ability seems to be able to be used in conjunction with the first ability.

After plundering the enemy's legends and powers, they transformed them into "one's own principles" and let them flow out to cover the world.

Is that right?

Russell did not confirm this.

He wasn't surprised by the Stand's diverse abilities.

After all, even Koichi's Echo has different abilities at each stage of evolution.

Kira Yoshikage's Stand also has three abilities, although two of them are explosion-related.

What surprised Russell was the meaning of the stand-in itself.

When the trial began, he felt that he could not choose the Dove God or Sakyamuni right from the start.

But now, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it is developing in the direction of the Pigeon God?

only......

In the Type-Moon world, isn't there already a Pigeon God, and an alien at that?

and many more!

Russell suddenly realized that if we were to talk about aliens, he could also be considered an alien.

"Holy Diver!"

After realizing this, Russell decisively activated his second ability.

The substitute's eyes flashed first, and then blood began to flow from the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet.

Vitality is fading away.

Russell sensed this clearly, watching the blood flowing from the substitute gather into a ball, wrapping itself inside.

Then, the ability he needed appeared.

A completely different body from before emerged, a strong, muscular body with perfect body proportions, shining with a golden luster like an emperor.

Holy Savior World.

It looks different from Dio's original Stand World, but its abilities are the same.

That's what Russell needs.

It's not just because the ability to stop time is powerful, but also because a necessary condition is the Stand World.

When Dio awakened his Stand, he knew that the world was a halfway ticket to heaven.

“Humans will always go to heaven.”

The first necessary condition: the substitute world, the evolutionary path of the world is the path that mankind should move forward.

After enlightenment, what Russell wanted to explore and search for was this path.

"Show me my [Secret Words] and guide me to the first step."

The world was floating in mid-air. Facing this scene, Russell spoke slowly.

Then, words appeared in my mind.

"I came not to bring peace but a sword."

......

......

......

ps. This chapter was extremely difficult to code, and I was a little worried, a little sensitive, and hard to accept.

Before I started writing the book, I had already written tens of thousands of words including the outline.

If I want to make some changes midway, the workload will be too heavy, so I have no choice but to write it anyway.

There has always been a claim that Christianity refers to other myths and viewpoints.

Let’s take the story of the great flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh, which is probably the most familiar to everyone. It is the story of Utnapishtim (Zushudra) who, with the help of Enki, learned that a great flood that would destroy all living things in the world was about to come, so he prepared a large ship in advance, allowing his family to survive.

It is highly similar to the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible.

There are also many other theories such as Mithraism, Christmas, and Easter.

Everyone has their own opinions on these, so let’s just take a look at what each one thinks.

I can only refer to literature and materials as much as possible to ensure that I don't make up stories or write anything too exaggerated.

The claim that there are many Christian denominations comes from statistics in the World Christian Encyclopedia.

Mainly since the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic monopoly was broken.

"Scripture alone" and personal interpretation prevailed, and factions and schools of thought continued to grow and evolve with the times.

It is true that in the process of missionary work, local cultural elements are often incorporated into one's own system.
