“There will only ever be one God in this world, and that must be our God.
Born from the shadows of the stars, a forsaken kin, yet forever sheltered by the moon’s phantom—this is the proof of divinity. Only after Caint poured vast resources into creating ten of the most advanced proton-synthesis brains was it finally able to function. Thus, a hybrid new god was born. Whether as a blessing or a curse, it will lead humanity into the next era.”
”In our experimental prototype, the image of prayer keeps appearing. Angels should not display any traits beyond genetic information, yet this phenomenon makes me wonder: could prayer be part of DNA memory? In ancient times — in the lost records of our history — what were humans praying to, in an era without gods?“

A hollow shadow, covered by light, whisper in the confessional, father Gusdita knows that voice, telling the original sin of gods. He started his asceticism, cutting and carrying ears to let them know the guilt. People call him “Gusdita the listener “ for he was the first one who heard the voice of god, or something else.
“The budget for the A-57 series has already been approved. This product is designed to use resonance technology to locate the exact coordinates of The HADAL. While the unit itself does not possess particularly outstanding combat capabilities, the company’s executives are highly optimistic about its potential for exploration.
A report from three weeks ago indicated that we received a faint echo originating from the HADAL. Researchers believe this may be a response to the “message” that was sent out five years ago.”
Welcome to the Development Division 6. This is your onboarding manual.
Here, we conduct some of the company’s most important R&D work: experimenting with the most innovative and daring ideas imaginable.
Caint strongly encourages every developer to pursue unconventional thinking in order to help ensure the continued prosperity of humanity.
Risk assessment? Ah… yes. The Development Division 6 does have the highest casualty rate and staff turnover in the company.
But don’t forget—the compensation here is also among the highest. How does the saying go again? “You get what you pay for,” right?
If you encounter a color designation that does not correspond to any familiar Angel model classification (such as Red, Blue, Black, or White), simply notify the Quality Assurance Department and evacuate the area.
We hope your assignment here proceeds smoothly.
“Will our product ultimately evolve into a true angel? This is, in fact, a simple question of genetic engineering. The composition of artificial angels includes a wide variety of elements, and these ultimately determine what they will become. Aside from the primate DNA sequences, all other factors remain uncontrollable. They will undergo rapid evolution, fusion, and mutation—processes that would normally take humans tens of thousands of years. However, it can be anticipated that, lacking the crucial piece of angel genes, they will still be nothing more than imitations of higher-dimensional beings.”

I kept all the layers, so please stop bringing up AI accusations. I honestly don’t even know why I need to prove this—it’s kind of a sad time we’re living in.
“My name is Aversandias, the “Unseeable One.”
All beings and the gods shall bow and kneel before my greatness,
crawling like vermin throughout their lives,
forsaking the future they have seen and conceived.”
「Twenty prototype units have already been deployed to the eastern region of the Volga Militar Zone. For now, this is just a business deal—there’s no need for them to think we’ve taken sides. The value of the Angels lies in their deterrent power, and hopefully that will bring the war to an earlier end.」
