The Sounds of War (The Genesis Series Book 2) (23 page)

Without thinking, Emeleigh gasped, quickly covering her mouth she muttered behind her hand, “Did you get that?”

Waving her off, Elijah turned back to listen.

“…however, we can use their DNA, and we can control their DNA, and this is where a belief system that we design will change the controls within their DNA. When we control their voice, we control their DNA!

“I shall continue to search for the right blend. Now, when I called this meeting, I promised a report on the status of my research. I have been concerned about our ability to win the Seed War since El Elyon removed ninety percent of the disembodied children. So I began a search for the right key to unlock the DNA codes, I still search, and until I unlock the codes, you must do only what I’m telling you otherwise, we will be in danger of losing this war on technicalities.

“We have no legal authority to or in Earth other than to tempt or test the terrestrials until they come under our authority. When Adam was Melek, I took control of the upper atmosphere, and have control over the elements of Earth. But I have never possessed an individual without first gaining his or her consent and I must urge you to do the same. I allow you to try to gain the right of possession of all individuals, but remember we do not have authority over any individual unless
they give it to us. We can blind them to El Elyon, but we cannot stop them from seeking him. There is a fine line of distinction and we mustn’t cross it.

“I want to be clear, and risk repeating what I said earlier
. As I’ve searched for the truth of human cellular design, I began to see the reason El Elyon made their flesh from the dirt of the planet. It is because the sound of Earth is in their structure. The control of Earth, given to man, demands Earth answer to the sound of man. Earth recognizes the authority of the Melek and thus his sound. We are not of this universe therefore, we possess no sound it can recognize, unless we steal the sound from man.

“You must make their words work with your desires and in so doing, you steal their authority, and remember this, sound passes through their DNA from
one generation to the next. That is why curses work, and on the reverse, why blessings work.

“If you find you must become a deity, you can tell the humans the Great Creator has poured himself into you
.” Satan raised a hand and waved it about, “I don’t care what you tell them but ultimately you must make them believe we are gods until…”

“Excuse me,” interrupted a fallen angel who resembled the statue that Elijah had pointed to as Abaddon.
He bowed his head in arrogant deference to his leader and in so doing smiled a crooked smile. Lifting an eyebrow just slightly, Abaddon hissed, “You implied earlier the power of agreement is something we need to work with, how?”

“In the past two thousand years of observing Adam’s
offspring I’ve reached a couple of important conclusions. Humans are powerful when they work together, we must harness that energy. Deception only works when they don’t know they’re deceived, and that’s its beauty, if someone is deceived, he won’t know it. Once a human believes the lie, he’s damned.

“
With the population increasing rapidly, you must begin to find new ways to separate humankind into opposing but manageable groups. It’s easier that way, make men hate women; the young despise the old, the poor rebel against the rich, and tribes war with each other.

“Create discord and hate, then manipulate them into a posture of agreeing to war against what they hate. To this end, I’ve set the tribes of Ham against the tribes of Shem
. I’ve carefully nurtured jealousy and created hate within these two tribes. And of course, by keeping Japheth as apathetic as possible he will never be the offsetting element to tip the scales in favor of one group against the other. Japheth and his generations should be encouraged to remain self-absorbed and indifferent to anything other than fulfilling their lusts for more territory. Several hundreds of years ago, Noah gave us an advantage with the so-called blessings he proclaimed.”

Emeleigh turned, stared at Elijah, and whispered, “Several hundreds of years ago? Where in the past are we?” Frowning at her, Elijah didn’t answer except to put a finger to his lips and shake his head.

“You are right, my lord,” the Prince of Persia smiled and leaned forward slightly, “this is why Nimrod is aligned with the tribes of Shem to fight against the tribes of Ham. Of course, when Noah encoded the servant aspect into Ham’s lineage through Canaan, he played right into our hands. Asarel is working to strengthen this hatred as well, right?”

The one to the right of Satan smugly nodded as he pulled a single grape from a bunch and popped it into his mouth, “Quite right, it’s not been difficult. The blessing Noah set upon his sons created great anger in Ham. Ham and his sons have played into our hands quite nicely. Cush, Mizarim, and Put left the land of their father, but Canaan stayed and kept this feud going. I see a day coming in which we’ll have a great battle between Enmerkar and Sidon. The disembodied children
have worked quite well. I have strategically placed several into the physical bodies of Ham’s children and grandchildren. And with the land of Canaan, I will be ready very soon to assist in the creating of new hybrid offspring.”

“What about Japheth’s tribes?” someone asked.

“The tribes of Japheth,” the one who sat across the table from Satan paused and shifted on his couch, and then casually picking up his thought continued, “the tribes of Japheth re-populate my territories. They seem to be quite willing to forget Noah’s teaching.” Pausing again, he picked at the crumbs that had fallen in his lap and slowly added, “Thanks to me, they believe in nothing but their own abilities, they are so easily managed. They’re such creatures of the senses. They rely on intellect and will not trust that which they cannot see or feel.” Looking around the room to make sure everyone was listening, he added, “It’s almost boring, but, nonetheless, re-enforcing their thoughts of self-reliance has worked well.”

Dismissing
his adjutant with a slight nod, Satan returned his attention to the one who resembled the statue of the Prince of Persia and queried, “Ba’el how close are we to having Babylon ready?”

“Enmerkar has been quite successful against his brothers and the territories of
East Africa have been captured. He has taken many as slaves to Babylon. Shushan was most useful. He encouraged the tribes of Shem to migrate to Shinar.” Ba’el leaned against the back of his couch and crossed his arms, “Semiramis has used her influence to set up a religious system that I’m very pleased with.” Smirking he added, “She gave me a son, and I work with him but he’s willful. Oh well, he is
part human, so what can you expect?”

“I
can expect you to control Marduk, Ba’el.” Satan interjected, “I must use him. He must be disciplined; we cannot afford the same mistakes as we had before the flood. I note that you favor her, you have not had intercourse with her have you?”

“No, and she did not conceive Marduk in that manner either, just so that everyone is clear. I used the method you said, and impregnated her by using a harvested embryo we injected with my Celestial matter. And yes, I’m getting Marduk ready…well he’s not ready to take the leadership we desire of him yet…but I’ll continue to work with him. That said, my lord, Enmerkar grows weary with war, perhaps we should bring him home and begin the building of the tower?”

Emeleigh was shifting from one foot to another, her antics driving Elijah crazy, he pulled on the back of her shirt and whispered, “Eme be still, you are driving me nuts.”

She put a hand to her mouth and whispered behind it, “I’m sorry, but OMG, this stuff is amazing, I can’t wait to
talk about it.”

“Well quit bopping, you’re putting out vibes,” he chided.

Putting a finger to her lips she nodded and turned back to listen.

“…he has killed many,” pausing
, Satan rubbed his face in thought, “and in so doing, eliminated their potential seed, has Semiramis done her part in making sure potential seed is destroyed?”

From the opposite side of the table one stood, shook his robes, and stretched, “My lord,”
putting both hands on his hips he arched his back and answered, “as time goes on, I’ll force her to implement child sacrifices but right now, the people are not quite ready. I think we’ll fail if we demand child sacrifices too soon.” Then sitting down again he heaved a heavy sigh, “However, I did introduce virginal sacrifices a few years ago, so for every young woman who is eliminated, we’ve effectively eliminated her potential seed. It is, after all, the Promised One whom you seek to keep from being born, right…so if we rid Earth of virgins…well, we’re moving in the right direction.”

Nodding Satan agreed, “Yes, we must stop the Promised One and for that purpose our focus should be on Shem’s lineage. The blessing to Shem indicates El Elyon will work within
his bloodline to bring forth the Promised Seed. We can be sure the Promised One will be born of royalty and of course a virgin. You must continually stir up jealousy in Semiramis. You must demand all
royal virgins, not just a few, wind up on the altar. If you cannot manage that, at least find some way to strip those young women of their virginity and to that end, I propose we remove all constraints on all disembodied offspring. They must be used to stir the pot so to speak; terrestrial men will rape and kill for us. Sexual desire and raw emotion within the people must be constantly agitated. With so many workers and warriors in Babylon, it should be easy to break down the terrestrials by attacking their morals.”

“Excellent!” Abaddon hissed with glee, “And to bottom line this, Helel, when are you going to create new children?”

“Marduk, Ba’el’s son, will sit on the throne of Babylon after Enmerkar returns to dust. The plan is by that time, too have built other cities, like Babylon. We start soon, within Canaan’s territory. Eventually, we will build around the circumference of the globe giving us total control. We’ll need others such as Marduk to place within those cities as rulers. We cannot intrude in the same why that Azazel and the Watchers did. We must get the humans to do this to themselves, that aside, it is my plan to restore many of the places we possessed before the flood. While I’m on this subject, we need to begin increasing the technical skills of the humans who are working to implement our plans. They must learn many of the things we taught before the flood, begin with the mystical teachings of the medicine and religion, then sciences and economical systems. If we are to have a sophisticated society, one that resembles Aravot, all ruling humans must understand how to communicate telepathically.

“The order of Aravot and the government of Aravot must be remem
bered. One order, one government, one will, my will! The Shechakim belongs to me!” Helel stood as his mood became black and hate contorted his features, “I will reign in this realm! The Rakia and Dok do not present problems,” he paced past each couch, hitting the back of each with his fist. “We can control them by the temples and towers that I have planned. We must cut off the portals to Zevul, Moan, and Aravot, and we must have control of Machon.” Growing silent for a moment, then pounding a fist into his palm he proclaimed, “If we control the portals, I control the universe!”

Realizing he was screaming, he stopped and adjusted the breast
plate on his chest. Resuming, he slowed his pace, and continued, “We gain control through the mortals but we must use legal means, at least until Earth is mine! El Elyon has covenanted not to allow the destruction of Earth by water a second time. Although, he has said he will destroy it by fire. We know the Promised Seed must come first. Therefore, we have to gain control of the seed while we still can.” Looking around the room, his voice barely above a whisper, he asked, “Do you not see the importance of what I say?”

Abaddon stifled a yawn and then asked again, “H
elel, how close are you in completing your study of the new cellular blueprints. The DNA that will allow for offspring?”

“Much data is missing still
. Something that I’ve not yet been able to discern, I know El Elyon placed a change within the human molecular structure when he put the eight in the ark. That change, affected longevity. Isolating the precise nucleotide and re-instructing it, is the problem. We can promise immortality to them, but we cannot deliver.” Returning to his couch he sat and slowly added, “We found skeletal remains of pre-flood giants, and we have recovered DNA from their bones. However, it is not reproducing the pre-flood DNA we need; we need to improve pre-flood DNA. When the time comes, we must insert the right combination of modified pre-flood DNA into the humans in such a way that they are unaware of what we are doing.

“Ba’el accomplished something like that with Enmerkar, and it worked, or appeared to work, but he is still mortal
. And Ba’el’s son, Marduk, is mortal. We can create hybrids but not immortality. So, if we are to regain the immortality aspect, we have to find the correct gene and isolate it so we can manipulate it. I think that gene is in us, not in the terrestrials.

“I’ve also given orders to create our own promise seed
. Enmerkar-Nimrod is a proto-type, but at this time, there are defects in him. And while on the subject of DNA, I’m still experimenting with DNA to create a soulless body, an Earth-suit for us; one that will allow us to stay within their dimensions as long as we desire.”

Ba’el chortled, “Well, while you are doing that, don’t forget we must start
the construction of the great tower in Babel.” Running a hand through his long reddish-blond hair, the Prince of Persia pursued, “Upon my instructions Enmerkar brought Peleg to Babylon. However, Peleg hasn’t worked out as I had planned. He has been instrumental in the building of the city. So as I said, we need to bring Enmerkar back from the battlefields to finish the city’s construction and to start the tower. It will take a number of years to gather all the needed materials. It has been over twenty years since the city was started and thankfully, it is nearing completion.”
