Read Online Revenge of the Three (Hand of God) by Tim Miller - Free Book Online Page B

night. As if I hadn’t seen enough weird stuff in the past, this one was definitely up there. Finally I had to find out just what we were up against.
                  “Okay, you have to start explaining some of this shit,” I said.
                  “What shit?” Lucifer asked without taking his eyes off the road.
                  “God, the Ghost, the Bishop or whoever he was. I didn’t want to know more than I already did, but now I have to know. Who are they? I already know they are not what I thought they were. What are they? Where did they come from?”
                  “So you really want to know, huh?”
                  “I don’t want to know, but if I’m going head to head with them, I need to. Especially with the Ghost obviously pissed at me.”
                  “Okay, you’re right. You’ve heard of the Big Bang?”
                  “Yeah, the universe created in a big explosion from gases mixing. After the explosion we have matter, or something like that.”
                  “Yeah, something like that. Well the universe wasn’t the only thing that was created then. There were also about a dozen or so other things created. They were powerful masses of energy, these masses developed consciousness, became self-aware. Over time, people worshipped them as gods”
                  “Wow, okay. I thought there were only three. But I remember the Bishop mentioning there were more.”
                  “Right. The Three seemed to stick together for some reason. They all stayed around earth. They can manipulate space and time easily. They can be visible one minute, or invisible the next, or they can just teleport themselves anywhere in the universe.”
                  “I thought they created the universe.”
                  “They didn’t really create anything. They can manipulate matter and turn it into anything. They all stayed on earth and divided it up among different cultures for awhile. That’s how so many places came to have different gods. But over time, the Three decided they wanted the whole place to themselves, so they ran the others off.”
                  “Ran them off to where?”
                  “Different parts of the universe, I guess. No one really knows. I heard they created the Abyss and threw some of them there. The rest got scared and left on their own.”
                  “But aren’t they all super powerful? How could one throw another to the Abyss?”
                  “Legend has it, The Father is more powerful than any of them. It is believed he absorbed some of them into himself and took their energy.”
                  “Holy shit,” I said.
                  “Yeah, no kidding. So over time, they reveal themselves to men on earth as they see fit. As a result, primitive men make them gods, worship them, write religious texts and there you have it.”
                  “What about you all, angels or whatever?”
                  “Oh, yes. We were basically their slaves. Created not quite like men. There were different classes of angels like you may have read about. Messengers, archangels, and so forth; often times the Three would have us battle each other for sport. When they got bored with that, they formulated the creation of humans. Now they can watch you all kill each other all day. The Father created the Abyss to cast away anyone who opposed him, or what he deemed as his mistakes. Some of us got tired of being used for his entertainment or sent to babysit his pet humans, so we fought back.”
                  “How’d you not end up in the Abyss?”
                  “Oh I almost did. Thanks to my talking skills I was able to talk him into a deal. He let me leave and banished me to earth with anyone who
