Xingyue, is Xiaokai also considered Kai?

A moment later, an eye appeared in the darkness. This was the divine eye of Divia. It is said that "the divine eye can see all beings and things in the six realms below the earth, whether near or far, whether covered or subtle, and it can see everything." Therefore, it can naturally see everything.

Should I say it was a pleasant, unfortunate encounter?

The white-haired man, sitting on a throne resembling that of the once-unique god, smiled.

"my child."

Novia slowly raised her head as the white-haired man, whose face was obscured, spoke these words.

You mean... a child?

“You are King ErkoNig, and if so, you are naturally my divine son. My authority belongs only to you.”

Deuteronomy also says:

A being like the Son of Man will come on the clouds of heaven and be brought before the Ancient of Days, and will receive authority, glory, and a kingdom, so that peoples, nations, and peoples may serve him. His authority is eternal and will never pass away; his kingdom will never perish.

However, the judge will sit and carry out the judgment.

His authority will be taken away, destroyed, and annihilated, right to the very end.

As the only religion to dominate the world, Yahweh's origins are complex and varied. However, in the Canaan region where he was born, especially in the Old Testament, the title "Ancient One" and "Cloud Rider" are Yahweh's nicknames. When the Book of Daniel was written in the second century BC, the Jews were ruled by foreign peoples, so it is not surprising that ancient mythological traditions were used to depict foreign peoples. What is strange is that "Ancient One" and "Cloud Rider" appear simultaneously in visions as different figures.

Did Judaism still believe in a God higher than Yahweh until the second century BCE? Nobody knows for sure.

As is well known, Baal later evolved into Zeus, and even Yahweh has certain elements mixed in. For example, in 1 Kings and Hosea chapter 2, Yahweh says, "She did not know that I gave her grain, new wine, and oil, and increased her gold and silver, yet she worshipped (or made) Baal with them."

If one desires grain, new wine, and oil, one must pray to the rain god for favorable weather. Therefore, from this perspective, what Yahweh and Baal were vying for was the position of rain god.

Returning to the Canaanite mythology itself, El appears more than 500 times in the Ugaritic documents unearthed in 1928, half of which specifically refer to El himself, the king of the gods. He is depicted as an old man with silver hair, the father of gods and men.

In the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament that was prevalent during the New Testament era, the basis for dividing territories was sometimes the "number of angels" and sometimes the "number of the sons of God." Ugaritic texts record that El and his wife had 70 sons of God, who were then divided into 70 kingdoms.

Meanwhile, the Book of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament is replete with descriptions of the two as one:

I will proclaim the name of the Lord (Yahweh), and you shall bestow great favor upon our God (El).

You should know that the Lord your God (Elohim) is God (El), the faithful God;

The Lord your God (Elohim) is the God of all gods (Elohe Ha"Elohim), the Lord of all lords, and so on.

El Elyon is the traditional title of El, meaning "the High One".

Is El the same being as Yahweh in the Old Testament, or the same person? This is actually irrelevant to Novia at present, especially since pigeons are happily possessing and playing around in the Solomon era of the Type-Moon universe.

As for why there is such a big difference between Yahweh in the Old and New Testaments, with the Old Testament being completely eccentric and the New Testament being attacked but then attacked in another way... that's normal. Roman said that God is capricious, and in the end, it was discovered that there are reasons for his capriciousness.

Perhaps it is because of Jesus, the savior, that the second-century Christian saint Justin said:

"If the god you speak of is the great power that brings down lightning from the sky, then we are indeed atheists, because we believe in the justice in our hearts. Our god died for us. The god on Mount Olympus that you believe in may indeed have great power, but would Jupiter shed blood for you?"

As it turns out, the one who ultimately triumphs is the god who sheds blood for people.

Regardless, El, who emerged brazenly from the black mud of the Holy Grail, is an extremely dangerous figure. The mastermind behind Mot's plan is most likely El, the original god of the gods in the ancient Canaan mythology.

So, what is the purpose?

Before Novia could speak, El spoke again.

"Although it is our first meeting, I feel that 'compared to Baal, Yam, and Mot, who have made a fool of themselves for the sake of the Eternal One, you seem to be a being born to become the true Eternal One.' This feeling fills my heart. Entrusting matters and authority to you will surely lead to success. This sense of security is overflowing in my heart. It's so good that I have you."

He continued.

"There is a lot about you in the records of Yahweh."

"Record?"

“From the moment we first met in Rome, everything you said and did seemed significant to Yahweh.”

El said softly, “The domineering nature of Yahweh in the Old Testament makes people instinctively want to fear and serve him, while what you feel is a deep longing that wells up in people’s hearts… This must be what the Holy Spirit is like, how wonderful.”

"who are you."

Novia pointed out a problem that was completely unnecessary, as it was obvious at a glance.

El, sitting on the throne, answered his question with a cheerful smile—like a gentle breeze sweeping across the earth.

“I am El, the first god betrayed by Canaan.”

In the pantheon of ancient Canaan, El occupied the most prominent position.

In Semitic languages, El means "god," and He is "bull," "mighty one," "lord of the years," "king," "father of gods and men," "creator of the earth," "master of the earth," "constant one," and "maker."

However, in the later stages of the development of Canaanite religion, El's status suffered a Waterloo-like decline.

Baal bound and stabbed El on his holy mountain, Zafen, in his palace, thus effectively taking away El's holy mountain and power, forcing El to hide at the end of the river, in the deep valley of the abyss.

From then on, Baal, as the new god who ruled the world, lived on the sacred mountain of the universe—Mount Zafen, while El lived at the ends of the world.

The eldest son, Prince Yam of the Sea, heard El's lament and gave the down-on-his-luck El a cup of strong liquor. El then declared Yam as his heir, thus foreshadowing the struggle between Baal and Yam, and even the battle with Mot.

However, Baal was the winner in the end.

Later, because Baal had no palace and had not been recognized by El as the second generation of the eternal and eternal Venerable One, all the Canaanite gods made a request to Him—to allow Baal to build a palace, since Baal was the current king of the gods.

Otherwise, 'sprinkle fresh blood all over his gray hair, and splatter black and red blood all over his beard.'

"To say that it doesn't matter at all would be a lie."

El's tone was tinged with amusement, but his gaze toward Novia was overly blunt.

"...Yes, I think so too."

"King Aier, what a fine name."

At this point, El placed his hand on his chest, "I think if you were Baal, I would feel very reassured."

Upon hearing this, Novia blinked.

Baal and Zeus are so closely related, and I possess the authority of Jupiter, who is essentially a Roman version of Zeus...

"So, to prove my sincerity, please become my sole divine child this time..."

The next moment, the black mud world that appeared before Novia shattered—

Its color, unlike the divine radiance of black mud, permeated everything.

"For when the day is recreated, I will bring the end of Jesus (the New Testament) with the judgment of the Old Testament."

Chapter 497 There has only been one from beginning to end.

"...I never expected Astuvidat to cause trouble at such a critical moment."

The depths of the Thames in London are an area not governed by the city's spiritual veins. Due to the rising global sea level, the Thames flowing into London is difficult to control, thus becoming a place where some evil Servants and people and Servants who want to go to other cities mingle.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the dark side of detective city London, as it is so complex and sticky, like a spider's nest, that even the London authorities find it difficult to deal with.

The mastermind behind the London attacks, James Moriarty, was located in—

In a small, nostalgic café across from Scotland Yard, he used the power of the Grim Reapers to forge the identity of 'Edward Berndy' for himself.

This identity is that of the American detective who was killed by him in "The Valley of Fear." Even Sherlock Holmes knew about it at the time but was powerless to do anything about it. Therefore, the identity of "Bernard Edward" was something Moriarty could fabricate at will, and with the power of the Grim Reapers, he could naturally disguise it.

"But thinking about it carefully, it's about right."

At this moment, Moriarty's face showed an expression of overthinking. His past cunning and treachery had somehow vanished.

Moriarty, who appeared in the new era, had the greatest dream of defeating Sherlock Holmes.

However, Holmes's spiritual veins in London were almost "immortal" due to his spiritual origin and obsession with urban deduction. This did indeed sever his desire to defeat Holmes. But just as he was thinking of living a good life with Fran, his demonic nature, capable of destroying all evidence without leaving a trace, sensed something was wrong.

With the birth of a new era, the continents severed ties, and the sky and sea became inaccessible to humans, marking the end of the struggle for survival represented by humanity, the primate species.

Isn't this the end and the beginning of the Tower of Babel?

People ceased to connect and became estranged; this was the result of God's intervention after the Tower of Babel collapsed. The struggle for survival among humans ended, which was the significance of humanity building the Tower of Babel.

And since it was absolutely impossible for Moriarty to stand on the side of justice, he deliberately created seven years of riots in London to extend an olive branch to the masterminds behind the scenes, according to Moriarty's memories.

In fact, he was not the real Moriarty, a fact he was unaware of.

In order to defeat Holmes, who was deeply connected to Lingo and London, Moriarty summoned Astowida, the Persian god of death.

Because he can lead the 'meaning of existence' of a designated target to inevitable demise, just like the destruction of order by evil gods in Persian mythology.

The price was to create seven cases to pollute London's spiritual veins. The first case was naturally the death of Sherlock Holmes. Although he was not completely eliminated, it was enough as long as all the cases were created. After all, Holmes' spiritual origin was tied to London, so it could be said that London was destroyed.

The subsequent concert killings, the suicide of the good hound, the appearance of Nassau... it seems like only four incidents have occurred so far, but considering Moriarty's abilities, that's almost enough. After all, Astuvidat disappeared inexplicably, and the two Moriarties are also cases, aren't they? My abilities at a young age are sufficient, so there are a total of six incidents.

Only one last lift is needed.

Moriarty looked down at his feet and finally realized that he was heading towards Scotland Yard.

“…I’m sorry, Fran.”

He said.

He could only recall the details and the name from his memory and recollections.

But it was impossible not to feel pain. Only now did Moriarty truly realize how much malice he had committed against Fran.

Fran often couldn't help her with anything, but just having Fran by his side made him happy, he knew that all too well.

That's why he has to do it this way.

It is precisely because Faria's irreplaceable world has been replaced that he wants to destroy it all.

Therefore, James Moriarty declared with full confidence.

"Dad, I'm going to become the destroyer of the world now."

"Asteroid Mechanics," a work by Moriarty, is described as "a rare achievement in pure mathematics, and it is said that no one in the scientific community can criticize it." This work contains the prelude to what is called the ultimate crime in the world—the destruction of the Earth, the destruction of life, and the creation of a larger asteroid belt.

So when the seventh case in London occurs, Moriarty will destroy London with a Persian apocalyptic power, turning the old world that remains beneath the sea into bullets to shatter this era.

then.

"As you all guessed, it was I who killed Sherlock Holmes."

"You mean? Detective Pordi..."

"Nice to meet you all, my name is James Moriarty, Moriarty the Evil."

In the bustling Scotland Yard, amidst the gazes of numerous followers and humans, Edward Berndine walked in with dignity, gently and respectfully putting on his handcuffs, his words tinged with genuine emotion.

"I've come to turn myself in."

……

"...He turned himself in? And he's on his way to the British Museum to identify the scene of the death?"

That happened ten minutes ago. When the silver-haired Yuju came out carrying the recovered Eri, she learned about it from Fran.

"Yes, Dad dug his own grave..."

Fran, crouching in the corner, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Honestly, he's an adult, doesn't he feel ashamed? He's always secretly playing the villain, I'm going to give him a good punch!"

Fran's clenched fist was weak; he might not even be able to beat an average person now.

However, among the people present, there is certainly no one more suitable than her to beat up Moriarty.

Just as Novia, who was using the body of the pearl, was thinking this, Fran stood up and looked at him: "...So, please, you have to beat up Daddy hard too. No one is more suitable than you."

Novia recalled El's earlier words, that he would end the New Testament with the judgment of the Old Testament.

If the other party wasn't El, Novia would have refuted him, saying that there should be a limit to how much he exaggerates.

However, the other party was El, the god of all gods who was considered one with Yahweh in the Old Testament.

It wasn't out of fear, but rather the awareness that such a possibility existed. The Old Testament judgment was in the Book of Daniel, and like the New Testament Revelation, could it produce a scene similar to that of the Roman era? Although Novia felt that it would be quite subtle if El's situation in the later Canaanite period were to be judged in the format of the Old Testament judgment, given his circumstances.

After all, he was someone who was brutally beaten by his own daughter and wife, Anat.

When discussing Canaanite mythology, one cannot ignore Baal, the chief god whose lineage extends to Zeus. In Canaan, it was his sister Anat who helped Baal become the king of the gods. Anat was the queen of the gods and the ruler of the goddesses during Baal's time in Canaanite mythology. She helped him defeat Moth and threaten Eir.

Even Baal himself was beaten. Anat demanded that Baal reveal the secret of the lightning. When Baal refused, Anat became enraged and began slaughtering Baal's followers, vowing to keep killing until Baal submitted to her and revealed the secret.

She was El's wife because she, along with her mother Asherah and El, created the stars in the heavens and gave birth to seven great benevolent gods who symbolized abundance.

One theory suggests that before the rise of Judaism, in ancient Hebrew mythology, Anat was the wife of Jahaveh, also known as Jehovah. This is true, since there was indeed a little-known queen of the gods in the Old Testament.

Wait a minute, Queen?

Thinking of this, Novia recalled the Canaanite myths.

In Canaanite mythology, there are three people who hold this title: Asherah, Anat, and Kadesh. She was created by the Egyptians based on the Semitic root word for sacred or blessed. She is the source of Kodesh in Ruach Ha-Kodesh. All three of them have the title of Mistress of the Heavens.
