Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

The man stared blankly at the sky, then knelt on the ground, his face filled with terror, and screamed.

"No! No! No! You can't do this! I believe in you! I believe in your ideal of purging sinners! I—"

Before he could finish speaking, his soul, like those soldiers, was dragged into the apostle's sea of ​​souls with screams.

Then everyone heard Dongjiang speak again—but this time, the god no longer had that same sense of sacred inviolability.

"Shut up! The penitents I'm talking about aren't fucking religious people. I want you to repent, not your faith! Anyone who's using my name to swindle and deceive, you can die too!"

"I'm not Jesus, I don't have his good temper! I give you my blessings because you voluntarily repent, but if you continue to do bad things under this guise, I guarantee you'll die the fastest and most miserable death!"

Tsurugi's voice was full of impatience and disgusted anger.

Feeling disgusted that so many people were already using his name to swindle and deceive people less than half an hour after his trial, Tsurugi said...

He was well aware of both the good and the bad aspects of religion, or rather, any human-created organization, given a large enough number of members, would inevitably be filled with all sorts of monsters and demons.

What makes religion even more disgusting is that while they spout lofty slogans, the things they do are utterly despicable, creating a stark contrast!

In any case, Tsurugi would never allow such disgusting things and people to happen under his command; if he encountered them, he would kill them first!

Dongjiang doesn't care if religion doesn't develop; what he wants isn't the concrete thing of faith, or rather, faith isn't such a superficial thing.

As long as someone believes in Tsuruga's existence and follows the teachings he passed down, that is equivalent to practicing his faith. It does not mean that fanatical worship or blind obedience to him constitutes faith.

The path of the Holy Spirit is not a way to become a god through incense offerings, and Dongjiang is not willing to engage in such evil practices that involve mutual harm. His path is similar to that of Jesus, both guiding others onto what they believe to be the right path and gaining strength from the other person's practice.

Zhuo'er's warning was effective. Those two-faced people who had infiltrated his religion were completely frightened and gave up their thoughts of causing trouble. At least as long as Zhuo and his miracles existed, these people would never dare to do anything disgusting.

This has inadvertently garnered goodwill from many non-believers for Dongjiang.

After all, although this unknown deity spoke in a very unholy manner, his act of actively restraining believers was more violent than that of countless other gods!

"Ikari-kun, your god's personality is really... straightforward."

Rei Ayanami Lilith said with a half-smile, while Shinji Ikari glanced at Asuka beside him, whose idol-like demeanor had been somewhat shattered after overhearing Tsugumi cursing, and sighed.

"Lord Tsuruga is like that; he can't tolerate even the slightest imperfection."

The purification by the thirteen angels continues, but the masterminds behind the scenes on the other side have finally reached their breaking point!

"Unexpected... what exactly is that?"

"Could it really be God? An angel? Jesus?"

"What a joke! We were born in Lilith. There is no God, no angels, and no holy child!"

"Perhaps he is the race that created Lilith..."

The members of SEELE were thrown into chaos, disbelief, and even hysteria!

Not to mention that most of the members of this group are Jewish—their 'faith' alone is enough to greatly shock them about the existence of the Abrahamic pantheon.

After all, they were a group of Gnostic heretics who didn't even believe in Judaism, and they were heretics among heretics, people who had no faith and tried to return to the 'Mother Goddess'.

And now you're telling them that heaven, God, and angels really exist?

Those who had previously held Catholicism in contempt and hatred, and even actively destroyed the faith after the Second Impact, were now filled with fear!

"Alright, all of you shut up!" Speaker Kiru coldly interrupted them, speaking indifferently.

"At this point, we have no way out. Whether we die in heaven or hell is not important. Living on and becoming gods is our only choice!"

"Is the preparation complete, Seventeenth Apostle, the vessel of Adam?"

"It's all done..."

Kaworu stood before a giant red tree, a Kabbalah tree created by cloning parts taken from the Spear of Longinus. It was covered with countless glowing 'fruits', and on the massive trunk, heavily restrained, was a huge humanoid stone statue.

"The giant's body and existence are bound here, while all the light you plundered, the information that slipped down from the higher dimensions, has been transformed by the Tree of Life into genetic factors containing special information. Next, with the help of my soul and Adam's embryo as a relay, your bodies and souls can be linked. And then, all you need to do is fully stimulate this giant's soul to release its emotions."

Kaworu Nagisa paused for a moment, then spoke in a tone that was both sorrowful and tinged with sarcasm.

"Congratulations, sons of Li Lin, you will soon be able to evolve from short humans."

"To become the great god you have always longed for!"

The path to godhood is fraught with death! : Annihilation

Despite fifteen years of research and study, SEELE still cannot truly understand or master the power of the Giant of Light.

But they possessed Adam—the complete First Apostle, Adam.

They put Adam's soul into an artificial body and turned him into Kaworu Nagisa, while Adam's embryo was kept firmly in their hands.

If the completion plan had gone smoothly, they would have deliberately let the triple agent Kaji Ryoji steal it and hand it over to Gendo Ikari.

After all, from SEELE's perspective, they didn't know that Gendo Ikari was a madman who did all this for his wife. At that time, all they needed was for someone to initiate the Human Instrumentality Project; it didn't matter who was in charge.

Rather than trusting the immature and ignorant fourteen-year-old boy, they preferred to trust Gendo Ikari, who was just like them.

However, after the Instrumentality Project went completely off track and the Third Child's power became too great and took over NERV, SEELE completely abandoned the contract with Lilith.

They had to implement the second plan.

Yes, their technology was indeed insufficient to comprehend the power of the Giant of Light, but Adam possessed that ability.

Adam's soul, combined with his body, and the seed of life sown by the First Ancestor, possessed an absolute life force capable of encompassing everything. He gave birth to the ultimate life forms known as the Apostles, beings who, even when torn into pieces less than three centimeters in diameter, could still be resurrected.

And such a complete Adam could naturally retain the power of the Giant of Light, through the flesh of Katsuragi Takumi, without any damage.

They vented their violence against themselves, while another group of people were just like this man.

They pounced on the ordinary people around them, fanatically and arrogantly proclaiming that they were the chosen ones, demanding that they serve them and join Escalius.

What? You're not joining?

If you don't join us, you'll be living a life worse than death with the scum next to you!

It must be said that religious propaganda strategies based on fear are remarkably effective; almost immediately, many fearful people wanted to join them, even offering wealth or other things.

Believers like this man happily accepted the property, intending to use half to build a large church for Tsurugi, and the other half—?

A ray of angelic light shone down.

The man stared blankly at the sky, then knelt on the ground, his face filled with terror, and screamed.

"No! No! No! You can't do this! I believe in you! I believe in your ideal of purging sinners! I—"
