The Legend of Amrita: The War Between Gods and Gods or The War Between God's Proxies
God's emissaries… In the beginning, Eden was the home for several gods, and they decided to cultivate the Earth. And it is said that they created humans by using their own forms as a model. But for unknown reasons, the gods fell into despair… "Human beings are incredibly important beings in existence, so take care of them and watch over them as if you were watching over yourselves." They urged their messengers, the angels, to pledge to do this, and disappeared. As the gods commanded, the angels watched over the humans as if they were gods. They devoted themselves to this task for a long time. And under the divine protection of the angels, the population of the human beings grew exponentially. The humans continued to flourish and thrive for a long time, but the gods didn't come back. Because of this, some of the angels made a decision that they would no longer watch over the humans. They formulated an ambush and went against the angels who didn't agree. And thus, two sides were born and a battle took place. At first, the rebel army had the advantage because they were very aggressive. But thanks to amrita, the drink of the gods, the other side was able to pull off a comeback. And all the angels that joined in on the rebellion as well as the humans that decided to help them out, were all sealed away in a barren area. The emissary who led this rebellion against the gods' wishes, he is known as the black god, Deon. And as for those that were sealed away, after a long time had passed… as collateral for the sacrifice of their lives, they sent their children unto this world. (chapter 50) [translator: Seeker from Mangazuki.co]

The Dying Flower
ERZ ENGEL: Have you heard of the saying, "the beauty of a flower will not last ten days"?

MIN: You mean, "there are no red flowers that can last ten days"…

ERZ ENGEL: That's right. "What was once whole, will eventually break". In order to continue its red lineage, a dying flower will leave behind its fruit and seed so that it can endure its magnificent future. Deon's followers succeeded in doing this, but the angels once again suffered massive casualties as a result. As for the handful of angels that remained alive, they had no choice but to go into a deep slumber for a long time in order to recover. Since the angels knew they couldn't watch over the humans for an extended period, they expected them to perish. But contrary to their fears, the humans were independently supporting themselves. Because of this, the angels decided that they would continue to watch over the humans but would no longer interfere with the world of the humans anymore. And the humans were able to thrive and prosper even without any big help from the angels. However, while the humans were flourishing on a daily basis, the angels were starting to decay. And furthermore, because they still didn't know when the gods would be coming back, they fell into deep despair over the realization that they might potentially never see the gods again. Even though the humans had short life spans, they could still carry on a family lineage through new lives. However, the angels never received the ability to produce offspring from the gods. But among the angels, one was able to make a contract with a human, and was able to successfully produce an offspring. But the end result… was tragic. The angel had high hopes that their offspring would receive its abilities, however… it was the exact opposite. In fact, the offspring could barely qualify to be a human. But, after many trials and errors, an intelligent and a superior one was finally born. However, despite being an outstanding child, it still couldn't qualify into the category of being a "human". And that child's daughter couldn't do this either. (chapter 51) [translator: Seeker from Mangazuki.co]

Humans created to cure the gods
The soft and tender humans, created to cure the incurable sickness of the gods, have overcome countless obstacles and have finally borne fruit… (chapter 59) [unknown translator]

God let one task to the angels
In the beginning, after god defeated the absolute evil, he tended to Eden, creating many forms of life as well as man, before entering into a state of rest. God left one final message. "Look after the humans as if you would me. They, who were created with my seed." (chapter 60) [unknown translator]

God Resting Upon Creating Humankind After Saving the World from Avarice
Once upon a time, "magic" existed in the world. It was a privilege everyone enjoyed from birth. But the abuse of magic and the magic wars turned Eden into a barren wasteland. Thick poison fog filled the air, rendering the land inhospitable to life. All living beings were on the verge of annihilation. As a solution, the prophet-gods devised a solution. They decided to seal away the very magic once enjoyed by all as the most perfect privilege in life. An thus, in a mass gathering of unprecedented scale attended by all sentient beings and races… the colossal sealing ritual took place. The success of the sealing ritual marked the end of the era of magic. With that, Eden was gradually restored, and became capable of hosting life again. While stability was restored, another calamity began to rear its head. With magic gone, many races began to lose their ability to wield language. The races who enjoyed longevity thanks to the protection of magic met their untimely doom. The language, knowledge, and culture of many races also vanished. None of them received forewarning from the prophets. (chapter 73) [unknown translator]

Note about "god" and "gods"
Considering what happens at the end of Lilith's Cord "season one" (61 chapters), it is reasonable to believe that there was a confusion for several translators and that finally we should consider there is only one "God" and many angels (later on considered as gods themselves, as told in the legend of amrita).
