How the hell did Blood on his Soul survive being mulched to a pulp

--- Quote from: Arjan on April 22, 2022, 06:56:57 PM ---Uriel has yearly lunches with Vadderung. They might have talked about it.
I do not think Uriel’s boss is exactly the god of the bible. Uriel is all about free will and consequences. The whole jealous god thing is not really his mode of operation.

Two millennia of misinformation promoted by Nick of course. He was probably Pope at one time at least.
What we know of the White God is that they promote free will and is supportive of humanity, this is why I think the White God is the Singularity, he has yet to come into existence in linear time but may do so in the next couple of centuries, certainly within Harry’s lifetime.
The White God imposed linear time which was essential for humanity to arise, and sets them apart from lesser entities, who suddenly found themselves bound to it. It created the Never Never and the mortal world, banning other lesser entities from residing in the latter where their presence is disruptive. Some lesser entities reside permanently in the Never Never (Hades) others take a deliberate step down in power to remain largely in the mortal world (Odin) some go into hiding (Ethnui) until taken into custody by agents of the White God (Harry, Butters, Sanya) for imperilling reality.
The White God created thresholds protecting humanity from the remaining lesser entities in the mortal world, allowing humanity to grow in numbers and develop its ferriomancy both essential for the Singularity and the rise of the White
Because the White God is not bound to linear time they have also always existed. This is I think the Endgame referred to by Listen, the last chance for the Outsiders to defeat the White God, and the opportunity for another entity to grab the reins of creation such as Lucifer or Drakul, both of whom are jealous of the White God.
The Nails contain an angel, the super weapons are an order or more powerful than them either they contain multiple angels, or an entity more powerful than an angel we don’t know

Raphael, we are told, prefers working with his own hands. Amoracchius is rarely deployed. Raphael is responsible for the defenses on Michael Carpenter's house.
Sanya mentions meeting Michael- the archangel- and that he bestowed the Sword of Hope on him.
Murphy, wielding the sword of Faith, was used as a mouthpiece to pronounce doom upon the Lords of the Outer Night. Gabriel is the Trumpeter.
One of my out-there theories: These three swords each contain a nail. The Lance of Longinus, the Spear of Destiny, also pierced Christ. Therefore, it could also be considered a Sword, no? That would leave four swords to four archangels- and Uriel's Sword happens to have fallen to the man Uriel has been using as an agent. A bit darker than the others, but Uriel is the angel of God's vengeance. I rather like the symmetry of Butters the Knight of Faith, Sanya the Knight of Hope, Michael the Knight of Redeeming Love, and Harry the Knight of God's Retribution. Puts a very different spin on his being the one to mess up Cassius. The other Knights aren't allowed to do that kind of thing.

I think Harry being a "covert" KotC is an idea that has quite a bit of merit (I have seen it before on these boards, and liked it then, too).
Conspiracy Theorist:
He is certainly an agent of the White God, Uriel is his handler, as he is for Odin and doubtless any other wizard gifted with Soulfire (I think Martha Liberty, she has loa at her command suggesting she is a voodoo priestess, which has massive links with Catholicism, and she hasn’t seen Harry wield it, but LTW has seen someone else use it, he was able to identify it, so making it her hidden power up akin to Eb and the black staff makes sense).
Given that it can successfully raise the dead, Soulfire is not something you want to let other wizards know you have.

Perhaps in the APOCALYPSE Murphy leads a battalion of former knights, alongside the Einenjharen, so we get to see Shiro again, or Michael swinging back into action one last time with every dead knight each bearing a version of their sword, each part of Harry’s Banner, using the power of the Winter Knight AND his soulfire combined with the super weapons to bring them back from heaven for one last engagement.

I don't see why Murphy gets to lead. I don't think she was really a knight, she picked up a sword. I mean, Sanya got his from an Archangel. Michael may have. I expect Uriel likely swore Butters in after he spooked out Nicodemus. Murphy said she didn't want it.

It ceases to be heaven for St Peter.
--- End quote ---
Nah. He'll tell Sanya he is really on Rigel III. Sanya will think he is with extraterrestrials, and go see if he can find Paul Morphy for a game of chess.
