i think there is much to this scene..
...dialog : god and devil made a wager..
but if you knew layers...you will say L3 level entities made a bet
L3..2 1
0 - you
L-1, -2, -3
as above so below..
above and below is 'relative'..
i would say 'balance' is the 'choice'..
coz those 2 primitive gods..
were made by L4 god...his imagination.
