That's a really interesting theory! If RB's can't kill Lyctors, what do you think has been really happening? Did they all defect (like Cassiopeia, who definitely defected to BOE and probably isn't dead) or have they all killed each other?
I agree that God seems to have lied about almost everything but on some level the Heralds do pose a very real and tangible threat and the RB's maybe do as well - we can at least trust Gideon's pov of the Heralds.
What do you think has been really happening?
I do really like the symmetry of the Pyrrha/Wake/Gideon murder triangle.
I just got into this here but I’m fairly sure Gideon1 is the only Lyctor who has been described as being actually killed by a Resurrection Beast. And even Gideon1 only got killed in soul form. I don’t remember any reference to a Herald ever physically killing a Lyctor. Everyone else got sucked to hell or into a black hole or experienced other shenanigans.
