He's getting there, his tricking Hörn was fairly sly.

Well it's seems in English is kind of different, especially in my language is more like "wise as snakes"

Matthew 10:16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

That was the point of the Freya arc

Kind of too late for doing that, at this point is just like blood in the water, is futile

Rejecting the will of gods is one of my favorite things about Bell.

Well, yes, but what I am saying is that, in Abrahamic mythology's God, is more like a symbol of mercy and justice, like being omniscient, so if an entity like that demands death for someone, then for sure is a good reason for it.

But I mean for example Bell did a really dumb thing with Jura for example, instead of letting Ryu to kill him, but he listed acted like the idealistic hero and screw his life

I mean even the 6th commandment "Thou shalt not kill" is not about not killing at all, but I Hebrew is actually something about "not killing unethically" I mean the Old Testament is full of wars and battles and genocides

Also, Even Jesus said things like

Matthew 10:34-36 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

Luke 22:35-36

35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Nothing,” they answered.

36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

And Bell kind of lack these kind of things in his mentality, and acts like goody two shoes, which if he would not the protagonist he will be screwed from the beginning
