Creative Foil

Swiftly, Amara related Chuck's desire to foil Sefira via creative work to his fateful desire billions of years ago, when he set about creating his four immediate sons for more than dubious purposes. The Darkness then felt compelled to establish clear boundaries for God.

You'd better not be thinking about using either any recovered blood of yours or any recovered stuff of primordial creation to create any new immediate sons or daughters, Brother!

Calm down, Sis! I wasn't planning on wasting opportunities by rekindling old sibling quarrels!

Notwithstanding beings of primordial light, both of them reminded themselves and one another that, despite all the upgrades and expansions to all the non-primordial angels, the most powerful entity in existence was now inoculated to any full-scale assault from those lower angels and from other non-primordial species. The two divine companions were also reminded of the elder's recent grasp of strategy and tactics, her ability to negate easily those opposing beings' innate and enhanced power, and her ability to exorcise all of them and even beings of primordial light.

Are you referring to something related to the Word of God, then?

That's one possibility.

Look who's flip-flopping? Didn't you tell me, not too long ago, that having around three dozen of those non-primordial, self-contained computer tablets – which I of all people encouraged you to create – was pushing the non-primordial limits of allowing others to tap into power greater than Raphael's and perhaps comparable to Lucifer's?

I did, but injecting some of my shed blood into the fabric of the omniverse has the benefit of stabilizing somewhat the connections underlying the Word of God, thereby enabling the existence of additional tablets and of separate but lesser Angel Tablets and El Tablets.

You're considering another possibility, it seems.

I could proliferate, with your help, the Hand of the Divine that we made.

Multiple Arks of the Pact?

Not just multiple, but many. Fractions of your power mingling with fractions of mine would enable each ark to replenish its combined power and would force all power negation coming from an Instrument of the Darkness to be a deliberate act in order to succeed. Such upgrade on the most powerful Hand of God may be capable of more.

Relieved, the Darkness realized that God was applying the most creative lesson from his four immediate sons' primordial war against the original Leviathans.
