Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Chu Zihang's face rarely showed any expression. He frowned and grabbed his hair: "He was such a kind and gentle person, whether it was Gao Kui or Jesus two thousand years ago."

Why must we carry out the Last Judgment? Why must we cleanse the old world during the Last Judgment?

"No reason."

Angers shrugged: "If we have to find an explanation, it's because he is a god, and the way gods see and deal with problems is beyond human comprehension."

Because he is God, the Son of God whose divine nature far outweighs his human nature, it's that simple.

"Is there any way to change this? Gao Kui hasn't ascended to godhood yet, right? The Last Judgment hasn't happened yet, has it?"

Try to change everything, make him give up on the Last Judgment, or be more lenient when carrying it out.

"impossible."

Angers' face was ashen, and he shook his head without hesitation: "Do you have a way to change things that happened in the past and have become a fait accompli?"

He is first, and later, and is also in the future. He transcends all time, space, logic, and concepts.

The Last Judgment is not something that hasn't happened yet; it simply happens in the future that you and I cannot see, but which is already a fact for God. It is a predetermined fact that will occur in the future.

"So what are we doing now?" Chu Zihang asked again, wondering if they were cosplaying Daigo from the penultimate episode of Ultraman Tiga.

There's no way we can win; I don't understand.

Yes, I don't know when it started, but I stopped believing in fate. We must win, as human beings.

Chu Zihang suddenly thought of Gao Kui and Xia Mi. If Gao Kui and Xia Mi were talking to Angers, they would definitely use a famous line from "Ultraman Tiga" to make a sarcastic remark, and ask Angers if he had a Spark Lens.

You don't even have a magic light stick, yet you want to stop the Last Judgment?

"We are doing the impossible."

Angers smiled and said, "Let me tell you a secret: the original Last Judgment should have taken place four years ago."

Gao Kui should have ascended to God after seven days of prayer in the church, and immediately appeared before the whole world to carry out the Last Judgment.

"But we are still alive and well."

"That's because something has done the impossible: temporarily preventing the Holy Son of Rebirth from ascending to godhood. Gao Kui is destined to ascend to godhood, but at least before he officially ascends, the [Doomsday Judgment] will undergo a new change, which is the only chance to save the world."

The Doomsday Judgment may not happen again, or even if it does, it may not be in the same way as before.

The premise is that we can change Gao Kui's "nature" before he ascended to godhood, during his time as a human, so that his humanity surpasses his divinity, making him closer to the Holy Son of the time, the mediator between humans and gods, two thousand years ago.

If it were a more merciful Mediator, He would preside over the Last Judgment with greater leniency, or even abandon it altogether.

Chapter 92 Human Love

"Who stopped Gao Kui from ascending to godhood?" This is the question Chu Zihang wants to know most right now.

Based on the information currently available, Angers is not the real mastermind; he is merely a henchman carrying out the plan.

The one who prevented Gao Kui from ascending to godhood is the true mastermind. So, who exactly is he?

Chu Zihang wasn't very knowledgeable about Christian theology, and after thinking it over, he could only think of a few names that most people knew: Satan, Lucifer, the Great Harlot of Babylon...

"I'm sorry, but this is the one thing I can't tell you."

Angers remained silent, staring into Chu Zihang's eyes: "Now, let's go back to the original question: what exactly is the relationship between me, Kassel, and Gao Kui?"

They can be considered adversaries, for the time being.

Everything I do is to prevent or alter the biblical prophecy of the Last Judgment, which is contrary to the very duty of the Son of God at the Second Coming.

Without exaggeration, I am a sinner far more heinous than Judas. Judas' betrayal of Christ was part of God's will, but what I am about to do is not.

On the other hand, no one hopes more than us that Gao Kui will have a perfect life and develop a human love for the world and for someone.

If you were on duty, would you destroy an object you dislike or are indifferent to? I think you probably would. But what if you were asked to destroy an object you cherish?

That's what we're going to do.

We stand on the opposite side of the Second Advent Son and the Glorious King, yet we expect Gao Kui, as a human and a hybrid, to have a perfect life, and we give everything for it.

Now, tell me your choice: will you steadfastly and unconditionally uphold your friendship with the Second Coming Son, or will you choose to join us in saving the world?

Angers' question struck right to the heart of Chu Zihang.

"I may not know who prevented Gao Kui from ascending to godhood, but I beg you to answer my last question."

Is Gao Kui's mental illness related to you and Kassel?

Chu Zihang looked up and met Angers' gaze, his eyes radiating golden light, as if burning with golden flames.

"This is also a somewhat complicated issue."

Angers scratched his head and explained, "Does Gao Kui's mental illness have anything to do with us? The answer is yes."

If we hadn't stopped him from ascending to godhood, he would have completed his ascension after seven days of prayer, and would have carried out the Last Judgment as the Second Coming Son and the Glorious King, opening up a new heaven and a new earth.

But we have to stop him, don't we? If we don't stop him from becoming a god, we and the old universe will be doomed.

All I can tell you is that Gao Kui's mental illness was not something we did intentionally.

Think about it carefully. What we want to do is to make the Son of God develop a love for the world that belongs to humanity, thereby changing the Son's human and divine nature. We have no need to turn him into a mentally ill person.

If he were a normal person, or an honest and ambitious person, or a greedy and lustful person, the problem would be much easier to solve. The needs of a normal person are always easy to meet, and our work would be much easier.

His current mental state is causing us great distress, which has increased the difficulty of our work many times over.

Chu Zihang thought about it carefully and agreed.

If Gao Kui were an ordinary person, Kassel could easily satisfy his needs. He could have beautiful women if he wanted them, wealth if he wanted it, and all sorts of luxuries, from eating and drinking to gambling, prostitution, and music.

Gao Kui's current abstract mental state has actually made it much more difficult for Kassel to deal with him, on par with India.

"Then what's wrong with his mental illness?"

"According to our analysis, it should be the manifestation of his excessive divinity after he was degraded to human form."

"So divinity is just abstraction and mental illness?" Chu Zihang retorted speechlessly.

"Is not it?"

Angers shrugged and listed a few examples for Chu Zihang: "The Father in the Old Testament, Zeus in Greek mythology, and gods with personalities in some primitive mythological systems—aren't they all abstract?"

Their actions are simply incomprehensible to ordinary people. To try to understand God with human thinking is tantamount to mental illness.

"Is it unrelated to his Gao family lineage?" Chu Zihang asked again.

"This is the second question."

Angers smiled knowingly: "But I'm still willing to answer your question: perhaps it's irrelevant."

Chu Zihang fell into thought. Angers' answer was intriguing, as if Gao Kui's identity as a descendant of the Gao family and a prince of Northern Qi were now questionable.

However, Chu Zihang quickly figured out the problem.

Gao Kui was diagnosed with mental illness four years ago and has only now learned of his identity as a prince of Northern Qi. In other words, theoretically, it is impossible for Kassel to have arranged for Gao Kui to be a descendant of the Gao family, thereby inducing him to develop a mental illness.

He may or may not be a descendant of the Gao family. He may have developed mental illness because of his Gao family bloodline, but it is impossible that he developed mental illness because Kassel told him, "You are a descendant of the Gao family, therefore you have mental illness."

"Any more questions? Aside from some top secrets, I'd like to answer a few more of your questions."

"Nothing."

"Then tell me your choice."

"What do I need to do?" Chu Zihang asked, raising his head.

The current situation is that Gao Kui is both Gao Kui and the [Glory Monarch], the two are inseparable yet must be separated, and Chu Zihang must choose between the two.

Chu Zihang chose to stand on the opposite side of [Glory Monarch].

The moment he made the decision, Chu Zihang felt a faint sorrow, but not a heavy sense of guilt. He had betrayed Gao Kui, yet he hadn't completely betrayed him; Gao Kui's situation was that complicated.

Angers smiled with relief: "It's simple. Do what you did before, befriend Gao Kui, and, if necessary, stop him from going to extremes."

You can decide for yourself when to stop him; I trust your wisdom.

How can a perfect life consist of only love and no friendship? Giving the Second Coming Son a perfect life is not just empty talk.

The office blinds were reopened, and Chu Zihang walked out of the office, closed the door behind him, and turned to look at the old sycamore tree in the courtyard.

The lush canopy of the tree provides ample shade, and slivers of sunlight filter through the leaves to reach the ground. Gao Kui lies in the shade, sweating profusely as he does an imperfect plank, his buttocks sticking up high.

"Snapped!"

Sitting on Gao Kui's back, Xia Mi slapped Gao Kui's butt and complained, "Brother Ai, your butt is sticking up to the sky."

Seeing Chu Zihang walk out of the dean's office, Xia Mi waved to him again: "Hey, Senior Brother Chu, could you please go to the door and buy us a few popsicles? I have to do weightlifting for Brother Ai and can't leave."

As she spoke, Xia Mi reached her little hand into Gao Kui's pocket, trying to take money from him.

"I'll treat you," Chu Zihang said, walking towards the front door.

"Yay! Boss is so generous, Boss is so lucky! Brother Ai, we've saved another dollar!" Xia Mi shouted, raising her arms.

"Bro!" Gao Kui called out to Chu Zihang.

"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang was still a little guilty and didn't dare to meet Gao Kui's eyes.

Gao Kui subtly stuck his butt out a little higher and grinned, "If you're treating, then let's not buy popsicles, let's buy some ice cream. I remember the convenience store nearby has Mengniu's three-color cups in their freezer, I love those."

"Ok."

"Thanks, bro. I won't eat your ice cream for free. I just subscribed to Xunlei and Baidu Cloud a couple of days ago. Just let me know whenever you want to download movies, and I'll lend you my subscription."

"How lame!"

Xia Mi slapped Gao Kui's upturned buttocks again and complained, "Am I not pretty enough, or is Sister Nuonuo's figure not good enough?"

"With two stunningly beautiful women right in front of you, why did you go watch adult films? I'm speechless."

Gao Kui yelled and argued, "Who said using Xunlei and Baidu Cloud means you have to watch porn? I meant downloading foreign blockbusters, blah blah blah..."

As Chu Zihang watched Gao Kui and Xia Mi arguing under the old sycamore tree, the faint sense of guilt subsided slightly.
