Chapter 399: Lucifer
"Alexander Kovennas, the Eternal, it's you!" Standing in the mirror space, Gu Yi looked at the old man standing opposite him, holding a long sword, and exhaled lightly, "Or should I call you His Majesty Alexander the Great, the King of Conquest?" ”
"It seems that the Supreme has seen something through history, but you are welcome, just call me Alexander...... The conquest of the king or something, that's just a thing of the past! The old man heard Gu Yi open his mouth and called out his identity, obviously there was no surprise, but when his eyes touched Gu Yi's chest, there was a flash of jealousy, because at this time, Gu Yi was wearing a necklace on his chest, which was the treasure of Kama Taj, the Eye of Time Gem Agomoto "Don't be so vigilant, how can I say that I was also the one who witnessed your inheritance of the supreme position back then, and I am your senior." ”
As a contemporary Supreme Mage, the Ancient One's understanding of this world is far from being comparable to Chris, a guy who eats with plug-ins, but although the Ancient One has formed an alliance with Chris, in fact, in addition to verifying the so-called Satannis and his target is an ancient god, he has not revealed too many things about the mysterious world to Chris, such as the inside story of the Holy Trinity Order...... As a Supreme Mage, may she know less about the Holy Trinity than Chris? Apparently impossible.
It's just that because of the misinformation of Laura and some erroneous information circulating in human society, Chris subconsciously regarded the Holy Trinity Order as a secular religious organization born out of Christianity, or Catholicism...... Because in his impression, the history of Catholicism can be said to be the shortest among the three major religions in the world today, and since this is the case, then the history of the Holy Trinity Order, which deals with blood, werewolves and even demons, will naturally not be too long, and in this case, this religion is naturally incomparable with Kama Taj, the guardian organization that originated in the ancient times of the earth......
But as a Supreme Mage, the Ancient One knew that things were not like that at all...... Although the Holy Trinity once hibernated in the predecessor of Christianity, Catholicism, this can be traced back, in fact, it is older than the history of Catholicism, just like the eternal Alexander in front of her, when she inherited the position of Supreme Master, the other party was a witness, and in the history known to the ancient family, the organization of the Holy Trinity has been traced from some of the oldest documents of the Kama Taj...... And when does the history of Kama Taj go back? The Ancient Period of the Earth!
In other words, the Holy Trinity is actually an ancient organization with a history that is no shorter than that of the Kama Taj.
In fact, when the Ancient One heard Chris and Laura talk about this incident caused by the Holy Trinity and the Blood Werewolves colluding and succumbing to the demons, she was actually speechless in her heart...... Because she knew that the cooperation between the so-called Holy Trinity and the Blood Werewolves, to be precise, was actually the Holy Trinity driving the two races to be similar, and there was no reason to succumb to a demon lord...... Because as far as she knew, the eternal Alexander in front of her, the famous conquering king in history, was a guy with bottomless strength, only stronger than herself, not weaker, and the Holy Trinity had a few strong people like him, she couldn't say, such a bottomless organization to surrender to an inexplicable demon lord? How is it possible, what are they drawing?
Splendor? These things mean nothing to people like them, eternal life? If it was the ancient one himself, he still needed to use the dark power to obtain the purpose of immortality, but the person in front of him, who had existed since her teacher, the previous generation of Supreme Mage Merlin, had already existed, and even had the title of the Eternal, would he care about this? Strength? The other party is already more powerful than himself, and it is likely to be a strong person at the same level as the god king Odin, if he really wants to pursue power, he can absorb the essence of that ancient god by himself, so why turn to a hell lord who can't exert his strength at all in the main material plane?
So the Ancient One concluded from the beginning that this thing was not at all what Chris and Laura thought, but that the Holy Trinity had a deeper picture...... This is also an important reason why she agrees with Chris's alliance, if it is just one of those guys from Satannis and the werewolves of the blood clan, she can do it herself, and she doesn't need Chris at all.
And the reason why such an organization, which is actually extremely powerful, is that in addition to sending Virgil and Cardanjou, as well as some members of the lower ranks, to carry out some painless counterattacks against the people who have been sabotaging their plans by Chris and Laura in recent years, I am afraid it is also to not expose their strength...... And the purpose of doing this, one is naturally to paralyze the archdemon Satannis.
Just like Kama Taj, with the development of the times, the situation of the strong people within the Holy Trinity is also very serious, although Alexander, as the Pope, as well as the head of the Knights, Credo, and the Grand Knight Dante, these three are all tenth-level powerhouses stronger than the ancient one, but in addition to the three of them, the strongest is actually the Minister of Science and Technology Agnus and the woman named Gloria who intercepted the Avengers with Dante, the two were originally eighth-level, and with the power of Satannis, they are infinitely close to the ninth-level, And in addition to them, it was Virgil and Kadanqiu, who were originally only six or seven level powerhouses.
Under normal circumstances, Alexander and the others hid their strength and suppressed their strength at about level eight...... It is not easy for a low-level powerhouse to pretend to be a high-level powerhouse, but it is easy for a high-level powerhouse to pretend to be a low-level powerhouse in front of a low-level powerhouse, although the great demon Satannis is an eleventh-level powerhouse, but in hell, it is very difficult to cross the plane barrier to determine their specific strength, and after reaching the main material plane, his strength is suppressed, and it is even more difficult to detect the true strength of these people.
What's more, during the contact with Sartanis, the three Alexander never showed up at all...... From beginning to end, it was Agnus and Gloria in charge.
As for the reason, it is also very simple, that is, to stay in Europe and help Satannis hold back the attention of Kama Taj...... And in fact, they did it, if it weren't for Chris and Laura accidentally discovering that Satannis's goal was in South America, I'm afraid that at this time, the ancient one might have really been drawn to Europe by the other party, instead of appearing to stop her now.
This also means that Satannis actually did not know that these three people had come to South America.
On the other hand, they are probably also in a critical period of the Holy Trinity's plan, and they don't bother to pay attention to Chris and Laura at all, so they don't do anything except send some low-level members to make trouble for them.
This led Chris and Laura to the illusion that the so-called Trinity Organization was nothing more than that.
It's just that these insider stories, the ancient one didn't have them, and he wouldn't tell Chris too clearly...... Although every contact with Chris is not so friendly, it does not prevent her from understanding Chris's personality from the side.
Although many of the things Chris has done seem to be good things for the earth and human beings, it is promoting the progress of human civilization as a whole, which is also what Gu Yi is happy to see, after all, she is also a human being.
However, it is undeniable that these advances are largely a collateral effect of Chris's selfish desires, which means that Chris is actually a person who has more selfish desires than dedication, which is not surprising to the ancient one, because 99% of the human race is this type of person...... It's brutal, but it's the reality.
And the reason why Chris uses the earth as a development base is only because he is an earthling, accustomed to the life of human society, after all, human beings, as social creatures, if they are not forced to do nothing, or have suffered setbacks, otherwise they will rarely leave the familiar social environment and live in a strange area...... Even in unfamiliar places, you may get a richer material life.
But not wanting to does not mean that he can't, and obviously with the power that Chris has in his hands, he can live a very nourishing life in any corner of the universe, but he won't do it unless necessary.
But if the Ancient One reveals the details of the Holy Trinity to Chris, then it is likely to lead to this happening...... Offended such an organization as Holy Trinity that looks ordinary on the surface, but is actually unfathomable, everyone panics, what if Chris runs away after knowing these insider stories? Not only will the already thriving human civilization continue to be postponed, but it will also be even more difficult for her to get a glimpse of the ultimate purpose of the Holy Trinity on her own...... Even if she used the Eye of Agomoto, I'm afraid it would be the same.
And before this operation, the Ancient One had brought out the Eye of Agamotto, which had been kept in Kama Taj, and apparently foresaw the opponent she might need to face this time, the Holy Trinity's Pope, the eternal in front of her, and the conquering king Alexander the Great thousands of years ago.
"So, Mr. Alexander, what are you Trinity planning this time? Don't you know the consequences of what you do? Look at this, tens of thousands of innocent lives have disappeared because of you, are you all indifferent? Gu Yi asked angrily.
"Innocent? No, no, no, these people are not innocent at all! After a group of sinners who turned their backs on the gods, they died and died! In the face of the ancient one's questioning, Alexander replied indifferently...... What are you kidding, since you know my name, how can you think that I will care about these tens of thousands of lives?" To resurrect the great and true God, of course."
The Great True God? Hearing the other party's words, Gu Yileng was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly, "Damn, your purpose is not Kukulkan at all, but Lucifer...... No, no, it should be said that Kukulkan is Lucifer at all! Are you crazy? ”
If it is replaced by a modern person, it will definitely be very puzzled at this time, because in many modern legends, Lucifer is a fallen angel who rebelled against God, a demon of hell, if it is forgivable to say that such a fallen god as the Holy Trinity faith, then it is very nonsense to associate this name with Mayan mythology.
What's more, if the ancient Alexander is really the historical Alexander the Great, then he should also believe in Greek mythology, not Lucifer, the Catholic deity.
However, if you carefully study the origin of the deity Lucifer, you will know that this is not nonsense......
In fact, the earliest source of Lucifer's name is the Roman mythology of "Lucife", the god of the morning star, which is derived from Greek mythology...... In fact, it is not only Greece, but also in Canaan (now Palestine and surrounding areas), Egypt, and Persia There are legends of this god, and its image is basically related to the snake (in many Western myths, the snake represents wisdom, creation, and destruction), so it is also called the serpent of the morning light.
So Lucifer is actually an outer god for Christianity.
And the reason why such an external god would have something to do with the Bible is entirely because of translation problems......
In the Bible, whether it is the New Testament or the Old Testament, in fact, there is no name of Lucifer, only the fallen "bright star" to mock the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II, because it was this king who ruled the kingdom of Judea and exiled the Jews, but as soon as he died, the kingdom was destroyed by the Persians, so it was written into the Old Testament written by the Jews, in Hebrew.
When the Old Testament was translated into Greek and Latin, the word "bright star" used here was translated as Lucifer, so it was unconsciously confused with Lucifer in these myths, and what Nebuchadnezzar II did to the Jews was also regarded as against God, so there was a legend of Lucifer against God, and in fact, this part of the content was invented by the later medieval poet Dante based on myths that had been misreproduced...... Well, this Dante has nothing to do with the half-dime man who intercepted Captain Marvel.
At the same time, in the Bible, there is a story of the devil Satan incarnated as a serpent to tempt Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, so later generations equated Lucifer with Satan.
The ancient one will connect Kukulkan with Lucifer, also because Laura mentioned earlier that Kukulkan in Mayan mythology means "Quetzalcoatl God", that is, its image is a snake with feathers, and the priesthood is also to dominate the stars, represent books and knowledge, death and rebirth (creation and destruction), which is completely consistent with Lucifer's priesthood.
This also means that the two are likely to be the same.
Of course, myths are myths after all, and reality is not the same thing...... It's like Loki is Thor's younger brother, not uncle.
The ancient one knew that the real Lucifer had nothing to do with any of the mythological systems in human legends, but an ancient god who survived in ancient times, and only because he was very active in the period of human origin, so it was included in the mythological system of each civilization by various civilizations.
It's just that this ancient god has fallen in the early days of human civilization, which is why the ancient one will confirm that the other party is Lucifer according to Alexander's words, and not another snake god...... The reason for the snake god Seth among the four ancient gods is because this one has not fallen, but is alive and well in other dimensions, if it is Seth, then Alexander's words will not be resurrection, but words such as summoning and descending.
And in Kama Taj's plane, the reason for Lucifer's fall is because of another ancient god, and this ancient god is called by nothing else, it is God!
That is to say, in human mythology, Lucifer and God are enemies, which is not wrong, and compared to gods such as Asgard, which is only an alien civilization, only these ancient gods can be called true gods.
As for why the Holy Trinity, an organization that is clearly an enemy of Lucifer, would be mixed with the Holy See for a time with the belief in God, the reason is also very simple...... Dracula has previously said to Chris that it is right for the Holy See to believe in God, but is the "God" of the Holy See really God?
You must know that if Lucifer and God are ancient gods, then they represent their history, at least tens of millions of years...... Because the fall of the ancient gods happened tens of millions of years ago, when the battle between Gaia and Seth directly led to the extinction of life on the earth at that time, that is, the unlucky dinosaurs.
And Lucifer and God are apparently the few survivors of the old gods who still remain on Earth.
But what about the history of the Holy See? It's only been more than 2,000 years...... By this time, Lucifer had long since fallen, God had left the earth, and many gods had long since fallen silent except for one Asgard......
Therefore, it is natural that the Holy See cannot be established by God Himself, but only in his name...... Then there may be more doorways here.
