Chapter Seventy One: The Created Distraction

"I do not pretend to be able to prove that

there is no God. I equally cannot prove that

Satan is a fiction. The Christian god may exist;

so may the gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt,

or of Babylon. But none of these hypotheses

is more probable than any other: they lie

outside the region of even probable knowledge,

and therefore there is no reason

to consider any of them."

"We all know your dissertation has failed to prove its point, Dark Prince. We know that the timing for it wasn't right, and the calculated point for the particulates to grow did not mature enough. How can it successfully proceed this time?"

"It failed because the timing wasn't right. Impatience was indeed the enemy."

"And how can we rectify it, Your Magnificence? Surely the material things under your full power and control has no match to the cleansing power of love. It is entirely impossible to be manipulated without some form of risk."

"You think I never knew of that? It was not a question of failure, but of timing. One day, these stars will fall to the ground, and a new world will rise from the ashes. A new world to be ruled by our Legion. There is no greater hypocrite than the power of love, because it hides its true intentions into something mutually beneficial. It is rewritting everything into unequivocal terms. It literally obliterates the resultant of suffering from the process of thought."

"But, sire. No one dares to attack the remnants of the City of Old. It cannot be done!"

"Do you still fear her when she's already gone? The united and undivided God was long gone, and this Earth is my personal playground now."

[A moment of silence ensued]

"I still cannot understand how you can withstand the thought of crossing her Court. You do not understand the implication of this, with all due respect, sir."

"She's no more but a dwindling Spirit. All of them are gone! With no real divine power regulating the spiritual response of mankind, they shall be easily manipulated, distracted, led into the desire of the tranquility of death. All these material things are easy to gain and much easier to lose. Just like in the flicker of light, I can have it done in an instant!"

"What if . . . ?"

"There is no other method possible to undo this romantic plan other than to blind people into thinking that all the passion desired by the human flesh is good just as it was in the 

Golden Age of the Old. By reversing the order we create chaos, and in times of confusion, it is much easier for the sheep to be led into the pen."

"You still did not answer the question, sir."

"The Holy Spirit is nothing but a nuisance of the world. This hypocritical Church will die together with all of its earthly Bishops. The eternal city will fall and crumble, just like what happened to the Greeks. All of them will become a myth, and this rebellion will go on and on. This is how Darkness actually works similar to eternal madness, and it goes well with the power of secrecy."

"So you are still planning to roll-out your dissertation, my Dark Prince? I cannot believe it."

"Believe it now, my faithful servant. And then, Adam's Soul will be mine for good. For all of us."

"Is it probable then to destroy the Triune God? Can the Spirit actually fail in his appointed mission? Of course, not without human cooperation, surely?"

"You are correct my foremost servant. Nothing is impossible with the Triune God, undivided and true, but there is probability in the weakness of the soul. That is the true essence of Darkness that they will never understand. Man's cooperation must be made perfect in their own resolve. Destiny is also written in this way."

"I get it now, Your Magnificence. There is no other embodiment of a hideous monster other than a human being. 'I think, therefore I am.'"

[Satan smiled]

"And then, I can desecrate this holy Temple for good. All for me."
