"God-Mode is your strongest form?" asked Miguel.
"God-Mode is indeed my most powerful and deadliest form," said Beatle. "However, you should realize that despite this, it is my true form."
"Really?"
"God-Mode, the True God-Mode, is not called 'Level 4'. I don't call it that, but in reality it's called Divine Ultra Judgment. It is my most powerful and dangerous form, and my true form. I have never yet tapped into this power, not in years since I first defeated Aurora. The God-Mode Levels are weaker forms that I achieved by significantly lowering my strength and power."
"So, your form right now-..."
"...-Is me weakening myself."
"Why? You could just beat anyone and solve every Multiversal Problem if you do."
"Doing so will allow God to enter this realm through my body."
"That's a good thing!"
"No. I am Human. If He gets a taste of the Forbidden Fruit that runs through our genes, God will prevail in becoming something else... Something corrupt."
"God's Perfect, though!"
"That just means he can become imperfect. With a few changes to what makes Him... Him. Human form is a failure due to the Fruit. Becoming Human doesn't make you perfect. It gives you access to love, compassion, and autonomy while also giving way to desires, wants, needs of their own. This makes the Human selfish. God had a taste with that through Jesus, who never chose to enter this form until he rejoined Heaven. I don't trust my body enough to have God wield mine. I am a weapon. If He possesses me, that'd be the equivalent of giving a Wrathful King access to a nuclear arsenal rather than someone like Jesus, who is like giving a Wrathful King therapy. It's too dangerous."

"I see," said Miguel. "So, God would become evil?"
"God is never evil. What I'm saying is that he could become less... merciful. You've read the Old Testament. Y'know the reason He was less merciful, right? He wasn't evil. He just didn't know Humanity all that well... Not until He became Human through Jesus."
"What if God became evil?"
"'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, 'let there be light,' and there was light.' What does that mean, Miguel?"
"There was something else in the nothingness with God."
"Yes. We call it 'Darkness'. We call it 'the Fourth Tear. If there was a God, a Spirit, a Word, there dwelt something else that was implied to dwell in the shadows... This being would come to possess Samael... Who would become the first Morningstar. Lucifer.'"
"Satan..."
"Yes. The Adversary."
"So who came first?"
"God."
"So, where did Darkness come from?"
"Before there was everything, there was Darkness. Before there was Darkness, there was God. But, before the Creation, before there was everything, there was a War. The War of Heaven and Earth. A War between the Pantheon race. Two factions were made, those who believed in God, and those who believed in Darkness. Angels fell, and they became demons, some False gods, and others useless spirits that dwell in dung. While others became God's soldiers, led by the seven archangels, and remained in Heaven. Even Angels have their flaws, since only God is perfect."
"So, is God good?"
"Yes."
"Who created evil?"
"He did."
"Paradox."
"No. Because Darkness wasn't always evil. We don't know what he was before, but whatever that conniving bastard was, he wasn't Darkness. Something before prompted God to create Light. That, we will never know..."
"How about the other religions?"
"In a way, all religions pray to the concept of God. Even Buddhism or Hinduism or even Shintoism. Even atheists pray or even speak God's name in moments of peril. Whatever they see or however they see God, respect it, for I am only Human, after all, don't put the blame on me. This is my view alone. I may sound like I understand much, but I understand oh so little."
"What created evil, then?"
"Same thing that created good. Autonomy."
