The Divine Dissimulation [Complete]

Chapter 33 How Abraham Created the Angels

Abraham Goldstein studied Lucifer through the eyes of Metatron, as Lucifer was sleeping in a sleep pod. By stimulating the neural signals of the brain during sleep, one could reduce the need to sleep from eight hours to two hours per day without any adverse side effects. Abraham had always used sleep pods, as his restless nature didn’t allow him to waste a third of his days sleeping. Most individuals did not like them and preferred to sleep naturally as they needed to sleep and dream.

Lucifer and the other angels had always slept in the sleep pods as they were Abraham’s aides and bodyguards, and he didn’t like them wasting eight hours on sleeping every day. Abraham studied the features of Lucifer who even in his sleep glowed with charisma and leadership. All the angels had outstanding features, intelligence, and abilities but Lucifer was a man without peers. He was an exceptional individual and his uniqueness also made him potentially dangerous, and Abraham hoped that they would never turn against each other.

The first of the angels had come to be 200 years earlier when Abraham was the new CEO of Goldstein industries back on Earth. Back then it had been a humble and unassuming family business. It had been locally powerful but not omnipresent and not one the ruling houses of the Terran Council. Abraham had dreamt of becoming the wealthiest and most powerful man on the planet but to advance to that stage he needed an edge that took him ahead of his competitors.

The Angel program gave him that edge. Abraham had secretly created individuals with excellent genes and had them conceived in a synthetic womb. The individuals were kept together and isolated from the world. They were indoctrinated to be loyal to Abraham personally. They were also trained in all the useful skills associated with their line of work.

The Angel program was a highly secret program, it was secret for several reasons. The most important reasons was the usage of synthetic wombs to create the individuals in the program. Artificial wombs were highly illegal for human reproduction as they created individuals that were thought to lack a soul and individuality.  The reason why this happened was debated:  Religious people said it was due synthetic wombs being against the divine plan while scientists argued that the issue was the inability to completely recreate the conditions a human uterus. Synthetic wombs were hardly in use on Earth as it was cheaper to create drones to do all the dangerous and monotonous work than to have soulless clones do it.

A legal reason to use synthetic wombs was for raising livestock, as it was less cruel to kill a cow without a soul than killing a cow that potentially had a soul. Artificial wombs were also used to grow body parts using stem cells, where most body parts could be regrown within the matter of weeks.

For Abraham, the lack of ego and individuality in individuals born out of a synthetic womb was just what he was after. What he got was a group of incredibly talented people who put HIS interests before their own and was ready to give everything including their own lives if necessary, to make his will happen. The Angels Program had help Abraham rise from a locally feared businessperson to the wealthiest and most powerful man on the planet. Unfortunately, when things had deteriorated with his family, he had still been forced to leave Earth as the angels wasn’t enough to protect him when everyone was against him.

Abraham saw Lucifer wake up and decided to let Metatron speak for him on this occasion:

Metatron:

-          Wake up Lucifer; today is the day to populate Eden and start the eternal reign of Grandmaster Abraham.

Lucifer:

-          I am ready as always Metatron, let’s go!
