Illusion of Deception Pt. 2

It is 8:58 AM, and the old man has arrived.

"Why hello there Klei?"

"Ah yes Mr. Sonny! A pleasure to meet you again."

I bowed.

"Wow, you've changed even your accent. You are no longer the old you!"

"Yes, indeed I am not." I gasped a bit, "Can we talk at the back of the church? There is something I need to confess."

"Only if you return to El Shadai, to us, to Christ."

"Christ is my favorite father." I smiled.

"That is good. You already did come back! Come inside here to the church! Here at the gate, you are very welcome here, especially the likes of you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Sonny, and by the way, remember when I used to worship the devil a decade back?"

"Yes… but that is the past now, right?"

"The past cannot be fixed without a proper apology, sir Sonny. So, I shall give all of my most concerned apologies."

"God forgives everyone… Klei. Now come inside."

"Are you inviting me?"

"Yes."

"That is all I wanted to hear. I missed the back of the church."

"Are you still addicted to energy drinks?"

"My energy drinks are blood!"

"HAHAHA! You are a vampire now?"

"What if I am an actual vampire? Would I still be your friend? I am no devil worshipper. I still love Christ as my own. Even Count Dracula himself looks for Christ in his heart secretly because he hates living in the path of Darkness wishing to see the sunlight again."

"… how did you know that?"

"Exactly I will tell all the rest at the back of the church."

"Okay, tell me everything."

We went to the back garden of the church where no one can see us as borders around the garden, it seems… then bells chimed-

"OH! IT IS STARTING MY DEAR FRIEND LETS GO GO GO!!!"

I sighed.

I was about to charm him to make this pastor think I am GOD instead of the dead God he sees.

I went inside the church as if I was welcomed the entire time without an invitation. I found a bit of light in my soul.

They wanted me to introduce myself to everyone in the El Shadai Catholic group.

"I am Count Voltaire but my human name is Klei named by my foster father Rey. I AM A VAMPIRE BUT I LOVE JESUS CHRIST WOOOH! LET'S PARTY!!!"

And the pianist started to play happily, and we danced to the rhythm and sang together happily.

Until a dark fog I noticed around the church happened, I noticed outside the windows the sun is barely seen…

"Oh no… he's here…."

Then Count Dracula appeared in the flesh of The Devil.

"VOLTAIRE! WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE YOU DOING?! BEING A HYPOCRITE AS A VAMPIRE YOU ARE!!!"

"Father please I am not a child anymore! This is part of my plan!"

"A part of your plan to play along with these foolish humans who loves the cross?!"

"Father please!"

"I heard you, I was there the entire time to watch how my best count can do for world domination and this is how you start it!"

"Father no it is not like that I am just playing along to part a play to convince them all that Iglesia are the cultists that tried to destroy the Earth!"

They all started to pray, and Dracula shouted its demon scream at them.

"Who is this man Klei?!" asked Pastor Sonny

I sighed, "I missed the times when we used to jingle bells in this church. I just wanted to put an illusion of deception to make you all love me like I am the real God… because there is no god… you all do this every Tuesday and Sunday masses every Sunday but it is not helping you… it is the greatest of all illusions to deceive you away from the fact… that God. IS DEAD!

And yes, I am a vampire, this is my real father Count Dracula. My plan is world domination and make everything the same instead of Iglesia ni Cristo taking over the world as some kind of goat cult from the Devil thinking they're superior angels that will kill you all humans. That's a fact. You know you Catholics hate the Iglesias.

We are the same team in here. That is why… I wanted to infect you all with a blessing of eternal life than God can literally do that God can't."

Pastor Sonny… after he has seen the Devil inside the church, lost all of his faith and questioned his beliefs inside of his head-turning him insane.

Pastor Sonny trashed Jesus's House, and now he wants me to turn him into a vampire because of the illness he has called CANCER. He wanted to live.

He said he had 29 days left before he died and wanted eternal life, he kept coming to church to have that, but God could not give to him now. He is convinced that only I can give him eternal life.

"Father Dracula. Please leave the church. Everyone are convinced to be turned as my army against the Iglesia now… please leave but if you want to watch make it discreet where I cannot see you okay?"

Count Dracula turned back to his normal human form and spoke to my face.

"I guess I can trust you after all."

"We cannot rush things, I learned that from love, a long time ago. Now, I want you to watch me how I did MY WAY not the way you used to which that killed you a long time ago such as when I first read Bram Stoker's Dracula when you went back to your lair in the castle in Transylvania to heal stronger first and you just got slain by your love's human husband that you almost killed in the first chapter.

You Mr. Count Dracula, my father is always rushing things unless it is love. I have seen your ways are hastily as if you are a mindless beast. Do not rush… okay? Make things slow and let the flow go by itself until it is your turn to act."

"My dear son you have surpassed me! Every one of you, to those who wish to be immortal from your illnesses, come feast with him. But I shall just watch in the shadows."

And then he turned into a swarm of bats and left the church in the cloudy fogged day as the sun shone again.

Everyone was crying.

"Everyone let us drink the blood not of Christ but of Voltaire," I spoke

"God left us…."

"God is dead…."

"God has forsaken me…."

"Your new God is right here now come. My children of Darkness… we can rule this Earth together. And make things as they should be. Without the plague… without the dread… without the depression, pestilence, Death, famine, poverty- "then the house of Christ has been torched by fire and arson with an explosion.

"THE IGLESIA FOUND ME!"

"THERE'S THE VAMPIRE COUNT KILL HIM!"

"Orewa Kakihara-san da yo, BUKKOROSHITE YARU ZE!!!"

Now time for my act. I did some kickass martial arts kicks to fight them off without my inhuman powers and then knocked them out and rescued all of them. Even the Iglesia, as the Iglesia was sent to jail.

"The Iglesia are cultists. They want World Domination and I; Voltaire is trying to stop them, that is why they tried to kill me!" I spoke as being interviewed by a live camera.

The government gave me maximum security and lived in Transylvania ever since.

I did not get to turn them yet, but they committed suicide in the process.

Sad…

Well, at least Death is more peaceful than walking in the path of Darkness for all eternity, I guess.

But today, we will collaborate with one another to write a story as he and I are the main protagonists.

***

I was in a podcast and was interviewed about my views in life as an author. I realised everything I believed in my Luciferian/Satanic religion throughout the conversation. My practice in the occult or witchcraft was never really the whole time.

I was given a reality check. I realised everything I've manifested through spells is my own doing by putting my mind into something to make it happen and come to me like magic.

The way I invoked demons but never physically saw them and how I meditated on them felt as if I saw and heard them. It turns out it had been myself teaching me with pure enlightenment with the forbidden wisdom from the cosmology of the universe. It had been myself who does all these things to manifest what I put my mind into such spells and always believed it.

The demons I summon are just thoughtforms I create in my mind to make things happen passively. The other side of the podcast asked me why is there religion, anyway? I told him because it's the only way to cope with existential dread. And by that, I realised it. Our religious beliefs had been a coping mechanism this whole time, and my mind was opened.

And I was taught by him that the only way to evolve as a human in our species is to cope with existentialism without believing in a god. That's why I've always been confused between my Satanic religion and my atheistic philosophy taught by Anton LaVey. We're all just like computers, and eventually, we will be shut down, and we have no soul to go to an afterlife.

All this is just a meme, a tradition passed down from one generation to the next. And by that, I became agnostic and nihilistic. I used to be optimistic about everything but came back to the reality that there is no god, and everyone isn't equally good. Some people can be bad, some can be good, and some can be assholes for fun.

The thing is, you can't always expect everyone to be good to you just because you're good with everyone.

God is just an illusion made up by humans to create moral values and ethics for our lives and our next generations. God is not a mythical cosmic deity but an omnipotent force of nature created by humans to create morality in our non-genetic minds.

We call a meme a tradition passed down from one generation to another. We can't evolve as humans if we keep clinging to beliefs like these. Because the only healthy way for a mind to survive as a human is rational and logical thinking. That's why science exists.
