Chapter 493: God Didn

Pitch-black sky.

Boundless sea.

With a pale face and blue lips, he struggled to keep from sinking to the seabed in the seawater that was gradually becoming turbulent, while his hands paddled through the water, his eyes filled with despair, his mouth moving incessantly, and his voice trembling.

"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name……"

"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven……"

"May thy glory be like the light of the morning, shining……"

Hawk stood on the deck with one hand in his pocket, looking down at the stopwatch ticking away in his wrist.

Then—

He looked up, looking at Dr. Merrick in the seawater, and smiled slightly.

"Time's up!"

"No, no, no."

Dr. Merrick in the seawater heard Hawk's calm words, and then looked at Hawk's equally calm expression, instantly panicked, the prayer text begging for God's protection becoming more and more urgent.

Even when he was extracted from the seawater by Hawk using telekinesis, even when his neck was pinched in Hawk's hand, his prayer text was urgent to the point of being visible to the naked eye, hoping that God would descend to protect him.

As a result!

Nothing happened.

Hawk looked up, glanced at the night sky where not even a star could be seen tonight, and then withdrew his gaze, looking at Merrick who was still praying constantly: "Stop reciting, your God won't come."

He didn't feel very disappointed by this.

If he doesn't come, he doesn't come.

God not coming is his own loss, not Hawk's. When Hawk breaks into the Heaven dimension, God will know.

But Dr. Merrick was completely desperate.

"It won't."

"It won't."

"God won't abandon me, I am God's most devout believer."

"I have shed blood for God, I have been in prison for God."

Dr. Merrick looked at Hawk more and more excitedly: "God won't abandon me, wait, it must be that the wind is too strong, the water is too cold, causing my prayer not to be received by God, yes, it must be like this, you let me go, you let me go, you let me go, when I return to land, I will definitely pray for God to forgive you."

Hawk looked at Dr. Merrick, who was in his hand, his expression excited, from initial despair to self-strategy-like fanaticism, and even said he would let God forgive himself, and the corners of his mouth twitched subconsciously.

Dr. Merrick's expression was fanatical.

"I am the new Noah, believe me, only I can lead humanity to survive in this war between angels and demons."

"Noah?"

"Yes, I am……"

"I think you look like a melon skin."

Hawk interrupted directly, looking at Dr. Merrick, who was pinched in his hand, and frowned: "I now even suspect that you are not God's believer at all, just a liar who faked God's name."

Merrick pressed Hawk's arm with both hands, roaring excitedly.

"No, I am, I am the new Noah, God said it himself."

"Oh, is that so."

"Otherwise, how could I have the red apple personally bestowed by God."

"You mean this?"

Hearing this, Hawk's heart moved, and he took out the red apple that had been bitten and put into the Underworld again, looking at Merrick.

Merrick looked at the red apple right in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to grab it: "This is mine, give it back to me."

Hawk put away the red apple again, smiling and looking at Merrick in his hand: "Tell me how God found you, I promise I will let you stay with the red apple."

Merrick looked at Hawk, expression suspicious?

"Really?"

"I never lie."

Hawk's tone was calm, meeting Merrick's suspicious gaze, and then he loosened his right hand that was pinching Merrick, subsequently took a step back, leaned against the railing behind him, blowing the sea breeze, while smiling and looking at Dr. Merrick: "You finish telling the story, I promise to let you reunite with your red apple."

Dr. Merrick, who was soaking wet and even shivering a bit, fell on the deck, looking at Hawk.

"You swear to God."

"Sure."

"I swear to God, as long as you tell me the truth, I promise, I will let you reunite with your red apple. If I lie, let me not enter Heaven after death, and be captured by God."

Hawk's expression didn't change in the slightest, he raised his hand and swore a poisonous oath to God, then put his hand down, signaling to Merrick with his eyes.

"It's your turn, Doctor, say it."

"That starts with me being invited to help S. H. I. E. L. D. solve a case."

Dr. Merrick looked at Hawk, who had sworn to God, and also let go of the guard in his heart, and after being silent for a while, told the whole process of his meeting with God.

The story was very smelly and long.

Simply put, as an expert in the global biological field, Dr. Merrick naturally had cooperated with S. H. I. E. L. D.

And there was one such cooperation, where Dr. Merrick went to S. H. I. E. L. D.'s sandbox warehouse, which was the warehouse where S. H. I. E. L. D. stored strange items found or seized from all over the world, to identify some sticky substance that seemed to have its own activity.

This identification lasted for a month, because Dr. Merrick, who had cooperated with S. H. I. E. L. D. several times and was considered an old acquaintance, had some special treatment in the process of sandbox identification, such as being able to browse various strange items stored in the warehouse during breaks.

For example, mirrors that bleed, combs that talk, and reindeer heads that only have a head left and can still talk.

The red apple was what he saw during a browsing process.

Then he was fascinated.

Dr. Merrick claimed that the moment he saw the red apple, he heard God's voice.

God told him that the reason his clone experiments, which he had been secretly doing, failed was because they lacked a soul.

Because of Dr. Merrick's piety, God was touched, so God, who had long since abandoned the Earth, refocused his gaze on this world that had been eroded by demons after he left.

God told Dr. Merrick that he would be the new Noah, and also the new Jesus, letting him use the tens of thousands of pure souls in the red apple to create new humans.

He would descend to the world in the near future, launch a great flood again, cleanse this world that had been defiled by demons, and at that time, only he and the new humans he created could board the new ark and arrive at the new world after the great flood.

Dr. Merrick believed it, and then stole the red apple, using the excuse of providing perfectly adapted organs for the rich to earn investment from the rich, constantly expanding his clone base, trying to build a new human ethnic group that had never been seen before, created by him.

After that, he was caught by S. H. I. E. L. D.

But Dr. Merrick firmly believed that this was God's test for him, just like Jesus who was nailed to the cross by ignorant humans back then.

Being caught by S. H. I. E. L. D. not only didn't shake Dr. Merrick's faith, but made him believe in God's promise even more firmly.

He, Merrick, is the new Jesus.

After that, he was rescued by Hydra. At first, Dr. Merrick was very resistant to cooperating with Hydra.

After all, he was God's choice, and Hydra, no matter how you look at it, looked like a representative of demons.

But he reacted quickly.

Hydra saved him, and S. H. I. E. L. D. persecuted him, just like persecuting Jesus back then.

All……

Hydra is not some villain.

Then Dr. Merrick reached a cooperation agreement with Hydra. Hydra promised him funds and a clone base, and as a reward, Dr. Merrick helped Hydra use Hawk's blood to clone the Hydra Captain that belonged to them.

Hawk listened to Merrick telling the story of how he was chosen by God as the new Jesus and the new Noah, and looked up at Merrick.

"What is the situation with the clones in the pits buried outside the base? Didn't you say you wanted to build a new human ethnic group? Then why did you destroy them after creating them?"

"God's will."

"Oh?"

"After God was disappointed with humanity and left back then, demons have occupied Hell. God wants to shine his light on this world again, so he needs devout souls to God as pioneers to fill Hell."

"So……"

Hearing this, Hawk looked at Merrick thoughtfully: "You constantly clone me, and then constantly kill me, just to let the formatted souls in the red apple pass through my clones and go to Hell?"

Dr. Merrick nodded.

"Very correct."

"You are using my clones as tools to wash souls."

"No way, there are very few people in this world who are devout to God, and God has already lost confidence in them, so he chose me."

Dr. Merrick explained it this way, and when he said it was God who chose him, he couldn't help but puff out his chest, as if he was very proud.

Hawk was expressionless.

"Why me."

"What?"

"You want to help God wash souls, is it necessary to catch me alone and pluck me? Can't you clone others?"

"No."

"What?"

"God said, you are Samael!"

"Who."

Hearing this, Hawk didn't wait for Dr. Merrick to explain, and subconsciously raised an eyebrow: "Lucifer Morningstar?"

Dr. Merrick was a bit surprised, and then as if thinking of something, smiled and said: "Yes, you were adopted by the church, Hawk, this is not a coincidence, because you are Samael, the former Archangel."

Hawk chuckled, but didn't refute Merrick, but stretched out his hand: "Continue, I am Samael Archangel, this is also what God told you." ===== CHAPTER 495 =====
