'''Phillips:''' Arrogance? I speak the unvarnished truth. I told you, didn't I? I am God's Own Chosen, hand-picked to enforce His will, enact His justice upon this blighted world. Humanity has never accepted me among them, and now I know why: it is the nature of evil to fear and despise good. Its defiance and hatred of me is proof that I am righteous! Once I've killed you, and everyone else in this forsaken city, I will move on, unrelenting. The wages of sin will be swift and inescapable death, until humanity lies sobbing and broken before Him, cursing themselves for every sin they've ever committed. And once victory is mine, I will be rewarded…rewarded beyond the dreams of mortals. I will be granted dominion over the highest spheres of Heaven. I will be beloved by God above any other…ruling alongside Him as an equal…or perhaps even MORE than that! Yes…I'll have done what the host of Heaven, what the Almighty Himself had failed to do! It's only natural I would be…!\\
