Chapter 272: Genesis and the Apocalypse 1 (1/2)
At times, it really felt like I was on some kind of operating table in a lab –powerless and laid bare.Truly, had it not been for the fact that this statue couldn’t read my mind, I would have honestly thought that it understood more about me than I did.
In order to shift the initiative to my side, I decided to change the topic slightly: “You mentioned that the Fallen Angels are your descendents, then who might you be?”
“You’re asking who I am?”
“That’s right, may I have the honor of knowing your name?”
‘Hmm, why does it feel like he isn’t all that willing to speak…well, since he answered, I’ll just keep asking then, lest he uses his X-ray eyes on me again.’

“I have two names. Once, long ago, I was known as Lucifer. Later, I was called Satan, which of the two you think fits me more?”
“Lucifer…”
‘Wha–what the heck, what’s a legend-class divinity doing in front of me? This doesn’t make sense! No sense at all! But then…aren’t I in Purgatory…and didn’t I transmigrate after dying…that’s not very logical either…’
‘What’s Lucifer doing in a different world anyway? Isn’t he supposed to be like the first angel created by Jehovah or something? Something about having six sevenths of Jehovah’s divinity and all the shiny effects to go with it. Sacred Six Wings, Right Wing of the Lord, Second-in-Command of the Heavenly Kingdom, the greatest angel created by the Lord, blah blah blah. But all that’s supposed to be from Earth…this is a different world so what is Lucifer doing here?’
‘I know this is a world of magic and fantasy, I know it’s normal to have devils and angels, but for some random guy to pop up in front of me and claim to be Lucifer…impossible! This is…this has to be one of those famous names, right? It has to be!’
Just as I was lost amongst all the shocking revelations, the arrogant voice of that statue boomed once more: “I think so too, my original name is still the best after all. Satan and what not, that just doesn’t have the same ring.”
‘Satan, the Hebrew word for enemy. Who would’ve thought that even in a different world, this name would actually stick…’

“…” At this point, I really didn’t know how to react anymore. Forcefully suppressing the excitement in my heart, I tried probing him once more: “May I know what’s your relationship with Jehovah?”
“Jehovah? Who’s that?”
Surprisingly, Lucifer actually didn’t know who Jehovah was…that didn’t make sense…impossible….
At this point, my brain was basically farting. Following this line of questioning however, I asked: “Then may I know the name of the Creator? Isn’t it Jehovah?”
“Hahaha, what a funny little fellow, exactly who taught you this version of history? His name is obviously Yahweh. And who is Jehovah anyway?”
‘Man, he even saw through that…I’m sorry for learning history from the school security guard…still, for the Creator of this world to be Yahweh…hold on, that name sounds kinda familiar…where did I hear it before…’
‘Jeebus, I remember now, isn’t that a different name for Jehovah…’

‘Man this is New Testament vs Old Testament stuff all over again…I get that you guys like to fight, but why did you have to bring Lucifer over here too?!’
(TL: I’ll be honest here, I cannot be f**ked to translate this author’s nonsense sometimes, it’s not even funny…all he did was spend three paragraphs describing stuff about Judaism, Christianity for no rhyme or reason at all.)

‘Don’t tell me this world has some kind of connection to Earth? Is that why I transmigrated here after dying? Ahh, this is all so complicated. Should I tell Lucifer I’m a transmigrator? Will I get dissected if I do that…’
