The world-devouring dragon

Human beings on the ground were busy everywhere, treating patients and spreading their modified teachings. However, in the underwater temple, the black figure sat on the throne and observed every move of the human being.

Both the dark thing and the black shadow are the result of a random thought of Orochi. Precisely because of the different ideas when they were born, their personalities are also completely different. If the dark thing is more inclined to use words to influence, even If it is manipulating and deceiving others, then the shadow is more inclined to observe, and occasionally influence the actions of the person being observed during observation.

"Huh? That's really interesting."

Looking at the man in the floating screen in front of him, the black shadow nodded with interest.

"Messiah? Is that mortal the Messiah appearing in the human world?"

Beside the throne, the fallen angel with thirty-six black wings behind his back stared coldly at the mortal in the picture. In the picture, the mortal was trying his best to explain the doctrine to the humans in front of him.

No matter how you look at it, he seems to be just a perishable mortal, fragile, insignificant, timid, hesitant... He has all the qualities that a human being should have, and there is no trace of anything related to the word "perfect". .

For this fallen angel, the Messiah who took its place is undoubtedly the object of its most disgust. It cannot understand why God would rather give up the flawless one than choose the "perfect" Messiah. Saiyan. It would be fine if it was really more perfect than it, but in its eyes it is just a weak mortal creature. It is absolutely impossible for it to kneel down to this weak human being!

"Although I don't feel anything special, there is no doubt that this mortal is indeed related to the Messiah."

In the vast temple, a low voice sounded, and the answer was just a sneer.

"Not worth mentioning."

Along with this voice, the fallen angel beside him disappeared. Only the black shadow on the throne kept looking at the human beings in the picture. It watched the humans in front of it continue to spread its teachings, and instead of being dissatisfied, it nodded slightly.

"Using human will to twist God's will... Haha, it's really interesting. Omniscient and omnipotent one, just sit there and watch the end of the chessboard."

The black shadow glanced at the distant past. The omniscient and omnipotent one who always stayed in the past did not answer it. There was only eternal indifference in the past time and space. Only when the chess game is over will He realize it. The promise you make makes the snake free.

And that was the moment when God was devoured by violent monsters.

…

On earth, a human named Hana was already thirty years old. In this year, twelve disciples gathered around him.

Some of these people were relatives and friends of Hamna, and some were believers who followed Hamna. They had different identities and origins, and different personalities and talents. These twelve people followed Hamna in the Galilee region while practicing medicine and preaching. Gradually it began to gain popularity.

As a result, some people began to call Hamna "Joshua", and some even said that he was the child of God. There is no proof of who was the first to say this, but occasionally some people would doubt that it was related to that person. It was related to Judas, the cleverest disciple next to Joshua, but the eloquent Jew only appeared a few times and easily dispelled this suspicion.

However, Hana, who is at the center of these public opinions, is very calm. In his opinion, if he wants to spread the concept of redemption and love in this world, he needs temporary patience, and it is best not to have conflicts with those priests and officials. conflict.

"Do not think that I am come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill..."

Although it is said euphemistically, the meaning of tolerance is self-evident. When the Jewish priests preached in the city, he preached in the countryside. The Jewish priests focused on the wealthy businessmen and believers from wealthy families, so he explained the scriptures to the poor country people.

Hana knew his weakness very well, so he tried his best to avoid any direct conflict with the Jewish priests. In addition, his cousin John, who was a Jewish priest, covered him up, so he did not attract much attention. .

That day Hamna preached to his disciples.

"In the past, there was a great flood on the earth. The great flood submerged the land, farmland, and mountains. It lasted for hundreds of days. After the water finally receded, only Noah's descendants survived."

"The descendants of Noah gradually multiplied on the earth. At this time, some people among them said, what should we do if there is a great flood one day in the future? Others thought it made sense and decided to do something He wanted to do something to avoid the flood, so he tried to build an unprecedented tall tower."

"The human beings at that time were all descendants of Noah, and they had the same accent, so they worked together and vowed to build an unprecedented high tower that would reach the sky. The tower was so majestic and tall that it alarmed the God in heaven."

"God was angry that He had made a vow not to destroy mankind again, but mankind did not believe in Him. Just as man was angry at the disbelief of others, God was also angry at man's disbelief, so He divided the people on the earth and made them unable to speak each other's languages. , different skin colors. As a result, suspicions and disputes arose among human beings who could not communicate, and the unfinished tower was abandoned halfway, so it was called the Tower of Babel (Chaos)."

Hana did not like to use obscure classics to preach. He had practiced medicine for many years and deeply understood that the vast majority of people in the world lived in rural areas and had never lived in cities. Their minds were simple and dull, so he often used Various easy-to-understand metaphors are used to explain the teachings to believers.

The disciples looked at each other. Some were as smart as Judas, who immediately understood what Hamna was going to say, while others were as straight-tempered as Peter, who were completely confused.

Judas glanced at Peter, who was scratching his head and thinking hard beside him, and couldn't help but sneer.

Among the many disciples, he was the most gifted, and he was always proud of his qualifications and believed that his brothers were far inferior to him in judgment and ability. He believed they neither saw their opportunity nor took advantage of their situation. The church will never prosper if it uses such shallow people as leaders. Peter was impatient and thoughtless, and Judas thought that he was incapable of far-sighted things.

Looking at Peter in front of him, even Hana couldn't help but shake his head.

"Stone."

In this era, it was extremely easy for Jews to have repeated names. For example, among the twelve disciples of Hannah, two of them were named James, so they were often given nicknames to distinguish them. Peter’s nickname was "Stone", because this is a straightforward person.

Peter could only scratch his head and smile sheepishly at his brother. However, Hana was obviously not accusing him, and the nickname "Stone" was not his favorite for Peter. Then Hamna said to another of his disciples.

"Jacob, tell me what you understand."

There were two Jacobs among the twelve disciples. The other one was called Little Jacob because of his young age. The older Jacob was Hanna’s cousin. He and the other one were called Jacob the Younger. Disciple John's mother was Salome, the sister of Hamina's mother Mary. She was born into a wealthy merchant family. She had the most advantageous family status among the disciples, but she studied the teachings of her cousin very seriously.

Looking at the people in front of him, Jacob, who never spoke much, spoke.

"God's punishment is to punish human beings for their arrogance and arrogance. They should not believe in God's promises."

This was a fair answer, in line with most people's understanding of the meaning of the scriptures. Many disciples nodded in agreement, but Hana was keenly aware that Judas on the side frowned slightly and shook his head imperceptibly.

"Judas."

Looking at Judas in front of him, Hana spoke, gesturing for him to express his understanding.

However, Judas did not speak directly. Instead, he bowed respectfully to Hamna, then stood up and said.

"My Lord, you will be king of the world."

Many disciples were surprised, including Hana.

Looking at Hana in front of him, Judas' eyes showed deep fanaticism. If Hana could know the future, he would understand... This is exactly the way a crazy fan looks at his idol, with eyes full of little stars.

"The Bible says that God divided human languages ​​and made the people on the earth unable to understand each other, which led to disputes and battles. In other words, when the languages ​​are restored to unity, it will be the time when peace is restored to mankind."

"On this earth, there are countless religions, countless ethnic groups, and countless countries. It is because of these various differences that human beings have disputes. My Lord, didn't you come just to let the earth Under the same faith, human beings will once again be as close as brothers and be as harmonious as ever. Isn’t this exactly what you expect?”

"Jews, Middle Easterners, Greeks, Romans...all the nations in this world will come under your rule!"

Speaking excitedly, Judas bowed to Hana in front of him again.

Looking at Judas in front of him blankly, Hana felt deeply happy in his heart. He understood that among the many disciples, Judas was the smartest. He had always valued Judas very highly, but he did not realize that he could actually understand. What's on your mind...

He once thought for a long time on the battlefield littered with corpses, looking at the corpses that were eaten by eagles and beasts, and finally realized that differences were the root of all kinds of disputes. Without differences, there would be no disputes, and without disputes, the world would not be the same. There is peace.

Bringing humanity under one faith is only the first step.

He was born into Judaism, so he naturally chose to try to spread Jewish ideas. However, he soon realized that Judaism's overly closed, conservative, and overly academic atmosphere severely restricted the expansion of faith, so he chose to transform Judaism's teachings.

However, apart from the joy, there was also a trace of uneasiness flashing through...

He lowered his head and looked at Judas, who was bowing to him in front of him with complicated eyes. Hana understood in his heart where this uneasiness came from. Judas was too smart. This was not something that could be accomplished overnight. It might not be possible for a thousand years. Finish.

He did not doubt Judas' respect for him. As long as he lived, Judas would always be loyal to him. But when he died, who among the disciples could restrain him again? After his death, in order to complete the great cause of the same faith and strive to expand, where will Judas take the sect he founded? What will this sect, which initially tried its best to advocate love and forgiveness, eventually become in the hands of Judas...

A trace of worry flashed through my heart.

But this worry did not last long, because then a believer hurriedly broke into the sermon and shouted urgently.

"Joshua! John..."

After listening to the believers' statements, Hana couldn't help but widen his eyes and open his mouth. There was a buzz in his mind and his vision went dark...

"host!"

At the last moment when he lost consciousness, many disciples looked at him with panic and eager eyes...

John, his cousin and godfather, was imprisoned for taunting King Herod to his face and was about to be beheaded!
