there's a lot of stuff that's detailed lore that would go into explaining this completely, but the jist is that these angels and demons have power and protection against you if you've truly committed their opposite. If you haven't, they have to go after you physically. However, if they're going after you physically, it means they have no protection against you, either. It's why the war between angels and humans was an actual war for quite some time, instead of just an immediate starry night. It's also why the Martyr only has the soulless mandate. No maliciousness nor virtue in the intent. Only a goal. She's starting to malfunction and is an unreliable narrator for all the nugget scenes, by the way, meaning you can't trust those entirely. The images she sees of Elulu are also extremely suspect, considering that the fragments you're carrying around and where you find them all seem to be in places the Martyr would want to visit, with things she'd want to hear. The idea that 10 billion humans were harvested to form these fragments, and his personality would be the dominant one, is... Well, the devil shows you what you like to see, and considering how the script was flipped it on what was holy or not, you weren't making "God."
