Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

Even if she loses the qualification to reach the Holy Throne, the prayer to become the most perfect angel will shine eternally, and Lilith at this moment is tantamount to insulting her.

"Anyway."

Lilith stretched out her long arm and patted the head of the immobile Metatron.

"Oh ho, I've instilled the sin you hate the most in you. Go and say 'I love you' directly, remember that? Maybe you'll take off your clothes and open your chest then."

“…Wu?!”

His decisive words were as crisp and clean as a blade, and Metatron stubbornly shook his head.

"Stop trying to play tricks on me! I will absolutely not do as you wish! Absolutely not!"

What should I do?

Lilith's tousled hair became slightly tangled.

Out of habit, she subconsciously poked Metatron with her left hand with interest, but the ring on her left hand was no longer there.

"To you, these are all disgusting things, nothing has changed, has it? You're still the same as always, which is so delightful!"

"You utterly wicked—"

"Yes, I loved him, but I don't love him anymore. I should say I hate him now. Maybe I still love him, or maybe I have both."

"Huh—what? What do you mean...?"

Ignoring Metatron's growing lethargy, Lilith laughed as usual, "Yahoo yahoo~".

"Oh, right! Metatron, I'll also tell you some good news as a return gift—I haven't cared about Him for a long time, even though it's just a fantasy—but it still makes me quite happy. Let me tell you something else? What I just said was all a lie, just pretending to be strong—in fact, as a human being, I feel nauseous just thinking about Him now."

This could be described as self-contradictory, right?

But Lilith is that kind of person.

For humans, the scales of likes and dislikes in their hearts will waver if the person they love is evil, and they will also waver if the person they hate is righteous.

After all, for human beings, a truly fair scale does not exist.

Lilith now loathes, even to the point of hatred, her view of the Libra in her heart is excessively absolute.

Even if I've already won once and taken it back once.

but,

"I used to really love Him! I've always loved Him deeply!"

After saying that, Lilith quietly closed her eyes.

"—And still now."

like this.

He kept his head down and continued speaking to Metatron.

"Of course that's a lie!"

In any case, my time as Anat is over.

Yes, I (Anat) am clearly dead, but the diva who appeared based on my concept is now struggling in depravity. Logically speaking, she, who was born from me (Anat), can be called my sister.

Why did His gaze leave me at that time?

Via... Ah, Via, it is because of you that I, Anat, can become Lilith. Even though your feelings for me are filled with hostility and disgust, it is nothing but a trivial matter. In this universe, I love (hate) you more than anyone else.

So, why did you look away from me at that time?

You lied to me.

Unable to face that kind of sorrow, I left on my own.

You should have killed me then. The fact that you didn't prove how dishonest you are, a betrayal I can never forgive.

In that world called Mesopotamia, Lilith, who had arrived there, was the first to seize the willow tree where Ishtar lived.

"What a third-rate human being."

"Third-rate!"

Ha ha.

Hearing the words of the goddess from another land, Ishtar, whom she would have killed in the past, Lilith smiled.

Smiling without any sign of unease.

"That's right, it's third-rate."

"It's ridiculous."

"Right."

"Disgusting."

"Right."

"Seriously—it makes me furious just looking at it."

"Right."

Lilith offered no rebuttal.

Even though he was completely rejected, insulted, and looked down upon, he didn't say a word.

Even Ishtar was speechless in response.

The goddess of Mesopotamia couldn't help but wonder, what kind of look was that?

A mixture of anxiety, fear, and urgency swirls within, heartbreaking to behold, radiating a terrifying light.

In the sudden silence, Lilith's wings fluttered naturally... as if she were shedding tears of joy.

Thanks to you, I'm already broken.

The chance to love you forever was taken away, and I became a human who hates you terribly.

It's all your fault, WY (Wei)Y (Ya).

It's all your fault.

Chapter 556 Ugh, I'm being lazy, I really want it... (6k5)

Metatron, pierced and pinned by the greatsword, watched Lilith depart. On the Angel King's body was a boiling darkness, as if hell itself had descended.

It's really disgusting.

Even if it were still El, who claimed to be a god, walking around, it wouldn't be this bad, even for just a moment. Allowing this to exist would be a tremendous disgrace.

If I were to choose to commit suicide now, returning everything to normal, perhaps I could also erase the malignant intelligence—Sloth—that is spreading within me...

No, I mustn't commit suicide; I haven't been rejected yet.

Undeniably, Lilith's preparations were perfect. The reason she appeared before me at this moment was probably to see my despair.

But what should we do now?

If the Holy See and the Crown were still intact, even if he were seriously injured, he would not have ended up in such a state. This may sound presumptuous, but it is by no means a criticism of the Lord; it is merely a statement of fact. In any case, the fault lies with Himself.

Snapped!

"It hurts..."

As Lilith's half-pink greatsword dissipated, Metatron, losing his support, uncontrollably fell face-first to the ground.

Just then, Lilith, who had been leisurely walking away, suddenly turned around, a lollipop dangling from her mouth, and revealed a joyful smile.

"Hey! I actually let you go, huh? You clearly hate me so much, yet I still made you my 'partner.' Am I magnanimous or just incredibly generous? Anyway, don't push your luck with my gentle Metatron!"

After saying that, Lilith completely disappeared from Metatron's sight.

Seeing this situation, Metatron, who had no immediate solutions, chose the most direct approach:

He slammed his head hard into the ground.

As expected, Metatron fainted immediately.

In the darkness, Metatron subconsciously began to look at the memories of 'Joan of Arc', after all, as the scribe of the Heavenly Kingdom, that was what she did.

What was that sound she heard?

As a saint, Joan of Arc's fate is well-known: she was burned at the stake.

However, what puzzled Metatron the most was that the voice that rang out to Joan of Arc was regarded by the saint as a 'revelation'.

Although it didn't seem like a big problem at first glance, for Metatron, who was always focused on the Lord, the Kingdom Secretary, she found it incredible.

This is not that Jesus, nor is it the Lord I know...

Could it be that so-called Holy Spirit...?

Metatron naturally assumed that the Holy Spirit in the Trinity was, like the angels, an 'incarnation of God' created through word of mouth among humankind.

The reason she did this is actually quite simple.

Because the Holy Spirit was truly established in the fourth century.

For a long period after the First Council of Rome in Novia, the only discussion in the episcopal councils of the Christian world was about the homology of the Son and the Father; the orthodoxy of the Holy Spirit was never mentioned.

Although the Roman Empire and the Church of Christ were united in their external development based on the scriptures, it was normal for different factions to emerge over the centuries.

For example, in the second century, a man named Mentanu founded a school called the Mentananism.

When this Montana was baptized, he proclaimed that the Holy Spirit would come to power in the new world, spoke of the coming of the New Jerusalem from heaven and the imminent start of the millennium, which led many believers to follow him.

Montanu claimed to be a “vessel of new revelation” chosen by the Holy Spirit, and also proclaimed that Christ’s promises had been fulfilled and the age of the Comforter had come. He had two female followers named Priscilla and Maximilla, who first sought Montanu’s approval, and then each divorced their husbands to follow Montanu and become two female prophets.

At the same time, Mentani insists that believers must personally receive special spiritual power from God, and that this power can only be used to face and solve the needs of the time when the Holy Spirit descends upon an individual and performs special works.

It should be noted that the Holy Spirit was not yet defined as one of the Trinity at this time, because the term "Trinity" is not explicitly used in the New Testament.

In the third century, Tertullian, the representative of the North African theological school second only to Augustine during the Fathers' era, questioned the Montanists. At the same time, in order to debate with Paxia, the leader of the then powerful Christian metaphysical school, which believed in the oneness of the divine, he first proposed the doctrine of the Trinity.

In fact, the widespread development of morphology was also secretly supported by Pope Zephyrus at the time, naturally because of the internal strife within the Roman royal family.

The Trinity claimed by Tertullian at this time was not entirely the same as the later Trinity; his Trinity was subordinate and had a hierarchy.

Later, Cyprian, the Carthaginian bishop and disciple of Tertullian, also inherited the doctrine of the Trinity. Cyprian led to the disappearance of the priesthood and the complete intervention of the clergy.

However, the advocacy of these two individuals only laid the groundwork for the doctrine of the Trinity. The person who truly established the Trinity as a core theological belief of the Church was Jerome, the new Bishop of Rome, in the fourth century, many years after the vast Roman Empire split into East and West, and within the weakened Church of the Eastern Roman Empire—a man whom the new Bishop of Rome, Jerome, regarded as having a great future.

Saint Augustine.

His *City of God* states:

"The authority of the Holy Spirit in writing the Bible."

"The Father is the Father of the Son, the Son is the Son of the Father, and the Holy Spirit is the spirit of the Father and the Son, but is neither the Father nor the Son."

"The Father is the existence of God, the Son is the wisdom of God, and the Holy Spirit is the will of God."

"When we speak of the Holy Spirit, we are not speaking of the Spirit of the Father or the Spirit of the Son, but the Holy Spirit of both."

“But if we carefully examine what is said in these narratives (of the City of God), (if) the Holy Spirit helps me to complete this investigation, we will find major or at least not minor prophecies about the future, not just records of ancient history. To trace back in the investigation or to show in the overview, even just thinking about it, who wouldn’t think it is a difficult, grand, and voluminous task?”

“We need to discuss this in detail, rather than having it resolved in a book like this.”

"Therefore, I believe that I must restrain my style and interpret this book according to the will of the Holy Spirit (the Lord), without saying anything superfluous or omitting anything necessary."

After the main church in the Western Roman Empire was completely destroyed, Augustine, who rebuilt the church in the Eastern Roman Empire, formally established the Holy Spirit's position in the Trinity at the First Council of Constantinople, based on the City of God.

In other words, Metatron's idea is perfectly reasonable. For a very long time, the God of the Old Testament, as recorded by humankind, consisted of only one being; angels and demons were merely conceptual artifacts. Because, aside from that strange... Son named Jesus, the Holy Spirit, who, according to human definition, became one of the divine entities, should theoretically also be a conceptual artifact...

Moreover, Metatron felt that the position of Holy Spirit was actually quite suitable for Shekina, who had disappeared because of Lilith.

because,

Galatians 5:17 (New Testament)

The flesh contends with the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit contends with the flesh; they are enemies of each other.

That being said, Metatron couldn't be sure that Joan of Arc was hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit, but it was also possible that that was what she thought.

In fact, to a certain extent, the greatest source of the true birth of the Holy Spirit of Augustine and its confirmation was Novia as Avia. It was through contact with him that Augustine wrote The City of God. In other words, Novia directly gave rise to the status of the Holy Spirit.

The reason he once believed himself to be the Holy Spirit was because he learned about the Book of Revelation from the Apostle John during the Roman era.

Since no one knew what the Holy Spirit was at the time, Novia, who was a time traveler, knew very well and knew that it was referring to himself, he was certain that he was the Holy Spirit in the Book of Revelation.
