(This Chapter summarises the events in the last chapter of The Divine Dissimulation. If you have already read The Divine Dissimulation, you can continue to Chapter 1). The young and beautiful 22-year old Keila Eisenstein, a prominent leader of The Martian Humanist Alliance, a Martian rebel movement, is on the run following an utter defeat against the Terran Council on the asteroid Sylvia.  She is pursued by her nemesis, Rear Admiral Bjorn Muller of the Terran Council who has a much bigger and better-armed spaceship than she does. The situation looks dire when Keila suddenly has a vision of her dead mother Susanna, urging her to take her ship to the Terraformed asteroid world by the name of Eden, and free the Edenites from the tyranny of Abraham Goldstein, the egomaniacal tyrant God-king. Keila’s righthand man, Sven, is sceptical of going, but he agrees to drop her off on Eden while trying to shake off their Terran Council pursuers. Keila reaches Eden, and she uses one of the emergency pods on her spaceship to take her down to the surface. As Keila is descending, she watches in horror how her ship and its crew is obliterated by the powerful weapons on Bjorn’s ship. Panicking, Keila releases the safety switch on her emergency pod, causing her to crash down on the Edenite surface, knocking her unconscious on impact. Bjorn Muller wants to send his men to the surface of Eden to apprehend Keila, as she is a highly sought-after escapee. However, he is refused to land on Eden by Abraham Goldstein. The reason for Abraham’s refusal is that Eden is used for his secret megalomaniacal purpose, which is erasing the memory of Martian captives to make them believe that Earth was destroyed and that he is the god of Eden, a Bronze Age futuristic world, using mind-control technology. In Abraham’s religious scripture, the Abrahameon, it’s said that the Edenites is all that remains of mankind, and Abraham fear to let the Edenites find out the truth, that Earth still existed. After an armed standoff, Bjorn withdraws but gives the ultimatum that he will be back if Abraham hasn’t delivered Keila to him in three days. Meanwhile, a stranger called Jeshua finds the unconscious Keila on Eden and brings her to the tunnels below the surface where they are safe from Abraham’s mechanical spies and orbital laser cannons. Eventually, Keila wakes up and following her dreams, she seduces Jeshua and had intercourse with him, making him an ally. She then falls asleep as she is still dazed from the crash. Jeshua is careless and falls asleep next to her, believing that she is an angel sent from the heavens to bring him joy. A bit later, Nuriel and Gabriel, two genetically engineered super-soldiers who are aiding Abraham’s tyranny comes across the sleeping Keila and Jeshua. Fortunately, Jeshua’s twin sister Adina, who was infiltrated with mind control technology at birth, hides Jeshua and Keila from their pursuers’ visions and they manage to escape, discreetly. Abraham is furious with Nuriel and Gabriel upon knowing that Keila escapes and sends them back to the tunnels underground of Eden, to finish the job. Meanwhile, under Adina’s leadership, the Edenites rebels against Abraham’s rule as Adina manipulates them to rise against their evil “Divine Master”. Amid the confusion, Keila and Jeshua manage to kill Nuriel and Gabriel without Abraham noticing. The rest of his accomplices/angels are repressing the Edenites’ uprising. Suddenly, Adina then exposes herself as the one orchestrating the uprising against Abraham, to distract him from chasing Keila and Jeshua, and in his anger against his Adina, he programs his orbital lasers to fire at her when they are in range. Amid a heated telepathic battle of mind controls between Adina and Abraham, Keila and Jeshua uses the dead super soldiers “Angel” armours, secretly flies up to the Divine Control Centre, Abraham’s headquarters orbiting just above Eden and enter the complex silently and stealthily. Once Keila and Jeshua enter the Divine Control Centre, Abraham realises that Adina has manipulated him and he now senses their presence, so he sends his personal bodyguard Abaddon, an angel super soldier to eliminate Keila and Jeshua. Abaddon found them alive and manages to attack them both, and he is about to kill them when Adina intervenes. Using her mind-control technology, she tries to take control over Abaddon’s body and cause him to kill himself instead. Abraham notices what Adina is trying to do, and they wrestle mentally for control over Abaddon’s body. This releases a psionic blast that kills Abaddon and knocks both Adina and Abraham unconscious, flying miles away because of the psionic blast. Unbeknownst to Adina, this is an advantage as the psionic blast knocks her out of harm’s way, just avoiding the orbital lasers firing at her. She is now trapped inside the dark empty tunnel underground where she then hides and rest while she recovers from her injury. Wounded, Keila and Jeshua manage to drag themselves to the centre of the Divine Control Centre complex, where they find Abraham’s unconscious body. Jeshua wants to kill Abraham, his evil grandfather, but Keila convinces him that he needs to be alive and transports both their minds to the Divine Dimension, using Abraham’s Divine Detector machine in the Control centre. Once Jeshua warps to the Divine Dimension, Abraham is there and tells him that he shouldn’t have come and that Keila deceived him. Jeshua is confused with who to trusts but decided on killing Abraham. As he attacks Abraham and they fight mentally, this does not, however, harm their real physical bodies as their bodies are not in the Divine Dimension. Suddenly, free-falling from the top of the Golden lotus flower on the Divine Dimension, they both instantly drop to the ground, bleeding from bullet wounds in their heads and everything then fades to black. In the normal dimension, Keila blows the smoke that buzzed out of her pistol and puts down her smoking baby and smirked a dangerously sexy smile. Her visions and a prophetical voice told her that she is to kill both Jeshua and Abraham while they were both jacked into the Detector machine, killing them for good. She could then seize control over Eden, and Keila believes this voice that had been telling her to run away to Eden to meet her new future.
