YHWH’s imprisonment

Confinement beneath Jerusalem did not bring YHWH’s story to an end. Centuries of captivity fed his rage and twisted his divinity into something dark and distorted. Driven by revenge against those who had humiliated him, he found an unexpected ally in Sonja Rakic.

Sonja, a Bosnian terrorist known for her ruthless cruelty, retained her Muslim faith even after the Elohim’s true nature was revealed. Bitterly opposed to the world order, she saw YHWH as the perfect instrument for unleashing chaos and destroying the power structures she considered oppressive.

His escape was orchestrated by Sonja and a secret network of pro-Elohim factions. They believed the biblical Tetragrammaton held the key to restoring the “gods” to their former glory. With stolen technology and forbidden knowledge, they infiltrated Jerusalem’s underground chambers and freed him from his ancient prison.

During the escape, something extraordinary happened. YHWH recovered the mask of Amon-Ra, an ancestral artefact of unimaginable power hidden by the Guardians of the Covenant. As he put it on, a wave of energy coursed through his body, amplifying his Nephilim attributes and granting superhuman abilities. Connected to the Elohim’s collective mind, he could control advanced technology and manipulate reality in previously inconceivable ways.

YHWH’s transformation

The mask, however, appears to exert a malign influence over his mind. His eyes shine with cold calculation; his voice carries a merciless authority. Teachings of love and compassion have given way to speeches of revenge and domination.

YHWH and Sonja fled to Brazil, taking refuge at the Lima farm in Minas Gerais. Owned by a farming family of Israeli origin, the property became the headquarters of his new crusade. There he gathers fanatical followers, reactivates dormant BOTs and plans revenge against those who defied him—including Popess Isabela.

The pursuit of vengeance is turning YHWH into a distorted reflection of the god he once was. Amon-Ra’s mask, with its ancestral power and corrupting influence, seems to be consuming his soul and making him a threat to humanity.

The war between gods and humans is far from over. Brazil has become the next stage of that apocalyptic struggle.
