Chapter 166: Remnants of Humanity
(The chapter number is correct, it is chapter 166 and not chapter 165, see the author's words in the previous chapter.) )
"How can Satan keep his promise?" continued Isis in a loud voice, as if asking Sether and as if answering himself. In order to expand its territory in the human world, its servants are constantly awakening the ancient demons who have fallen asleep and almost died, and Satan's territory is more in the second heaven, they are spiritual demons in the air, like a filthy and heavy granite soaked in the blood of evil and abomination, which pestles between heaven and mankind, firstly to insult the holy and true eternal King to his face, and secondly, to let all mankind accompany Satan and his lackeys to hell. ”
"Sam Asa and his firstborn sons and servants tried to confuse the world into thinking that they were gods, creators, angels of light, or mysterious and advanced beings from the depths of the universe. Money and wealth are nothing to Satan, and even he is willing to teach mankind those forbidden knowledge, those cursed mysteries, these useless knowledge and hidden secrets, the more mankind knows, the more delastonished and depraved. This is what Satan is most happy to see, and it is the fundamental purpose of what he does. It knows that it has long been incurable, and it is jealous that mankind can obtain the mercy and salvation of the King of kings, so it is desperate to prevent mankind from knowing the real Creator, because as long as human beings do not know their creator, the source of their life, and the fundamental purpose of their birth, then no matter how high the degree of human society is and how amazing the civilization is, the final outcome of mankind can only be destruction. ”
"Sether, you have received the best royal education in Velogosa since you were a child, and even among the most famous scholars of our time, few can be wiser and richer than you. Do you know why you will study the history of Vilogosa, and visit the library with the richest collection of books on the continent, and you will learn from countless historical materials and monuments that so many glorious civilizations that were once illustrious and glorious were mysteriously destroyed at their peak?"
"You humans will never know, and as long as you do not know the King of Eternity for a day, you will never know the truth of this world. As long as you don't know the Eternal King for a day, no matter how much knowledge you have acquired, no matter how advanced your technology is—even if your civilization has developed to the point where men, women, children, and livestock can fly freely in the sky, you will still be destroyed without exception, and the faster your technology develops, the closer you will be to the abyss from which you will never recover. ”
"You ignorant human beings, do you live here so that one day you may die and turn all the rich and poor into dust? Several human worlds have been completely destroyed before Velogosa, and throughout the history of the continent, your generation of humanity will not end much better than the previous human generations, and sooner or later you will perish - this is a clear fact. ”
"Do you know why I'm saying this to you? Sether, because when I was a human woman, I belonged to Velogosa. So even if I am now a demon destined for hell, even if the blood in my veins has long been poisoned by Satan, even if I am filthy than the filthiest reptile in hell, I am a demon of Vilogosa. If there is still a trace of human emotion in me, it is because I once hated Velogoza deeply, precisely because I hated human beings, and my hatred means that I loved. ”
"If you ask me, hate Satan or not," Isis's voice began to calm down, a calm that was desperate, almost to death, "I don't hate it at all." ”
"Aren't you lying," Sesher immediately retorted, "haven't you been with Satan for too long and have become the mother of lies?"
"I tell you the truth, I am a lie, I have told countless lies, lies that hurt people to death, lies that destroy souls, lies that destroy families, lies that tear peace apart, lies that cause killings, lies that tempt people to do evil...... As Satan lies, I lie, as you have seen with your own eyes, Sether, I am innocent on the surface, but I am a wicked woman at heart, a demon. From the moment I saw you at the gate of the Tunnel of Isis, I tried to seduce you and then destroy you, but I failed. Isis was unashamed to speak out loud about her evil, not boasting about it, not resenting it, but calmly stating an immutable fact. Maybe when she lives to be more than 5,000 years old, everyone looks like she is acting, watching angels acting, watching the world acting, watching Satan acting, and watching herself acting.
"But," Isis continued, "I have absolutely not lied in this matter. I don't hate Satan, what do I hate him for? It was I who ignored the warnings of the King of Eternity in the middle of the night, it was I who drank the blood of Sam Asa from the mouth of the goat, it was I who rejected Him and His salvation in the presence of the King of kings, I threw myself into Satan's arms and became the most wicked, dirty, filthy instrument of him and of all hell. Shouldn't I hate myself more than Satan?"
"You're right. Sether replied, "It is rare that you, a prostitute from hell, can have such an honest conscience." ”
"Thank you. She said, "Anyway, I will be destroyed sooner or later, so it is better to tell you all my true thoughts, and my end is dark, the light of death." I don't see a glimmer of light in my future, so why don't you be my dark witness, and let the world see the true story of me, an ordinary human woman, who was seduced by the devil because she was willing to be lowly, and this is the best way for me to take revenge on Satan. ”
"It's not much like revenge, as you said before," Sether said thoughtfully, "and your actions are more like a discovery of conscience—I think there's still a lot of humanity left in you, even though your spirit and body have been hopelessly ruined by Satan." ”
Isis waved his hand, "This remnant of humanity is of no use to me, for my end is doomed." But it is of some use to you humans, because my words are a testimony to Satan's sin. ”
"I don't think the world will reflect much when they read your story," said Sether in a low voice, "I know what the human heart is, don't you know the human heart better than I do?"
"It is true that my words will not save Velogosa, but there is one man's words that can," Isis lifted his blind face, as if he had regained his sight in an instant, and as if there was a dazzling silhouette standing in front of her that could not see the real image, "I am not lying in this regard, what I said is true. ”
"Who is this man?" asked Sether.
