As I've said before, I admire the guy and would PREFER to avoid a conflict but I've long since resolved to walk my own way after he (apparently) tried to kill me in Kult and (as far as I can determine) told me to kill my own children in Type-Moon to teach me a brutal lesson about the logical endpoint of utilitarianism. Which, hey, considering I CAN still wield powers from him and ever since "internalising the lesson" (read: Used a selective reading of christian doctrine to justify politically motivated violence, like any good religious leader) his other incarnations have been mostly kind and encouraging I've taken it as a bit of tough love/a sharp reminder to NEVER let my guard down/enlightening me to the fundamental violence of the greater multiverse (this may or may not actually be the case).

It's not as though I'm actually intending to start a war with him here. I did go out of my way to have a justifiable loophole (Mr. Priest, a human who is only just starting to show the potential of becoming a demon lord, is in the crossfire) to intervene in the first place. Furthermore I did NOT use my fate-defying perks to skew the outcome so from my point of view Lucifer was always destined to fail here. All I did was skim a little divine providence off the till in case I subsequently decide to solve a problem my way, and then go back to doing my ordained duty by periodically culling demon lords before they can attack humanity. Really that's the best sign of my respect for divine providence here: The fact that after the Type-Moon incident I'm willing to swallow my grudge and judge humanity on a case by case basis instead of annihilate all humanity everywhere like I was initially considering.
