The Serpents Authority...Power Source

Like the Forbidden Tree...a combination of positive and negative, producing energy...also known as the Hegelian Dialect of uniting a Thesis and a anti-thesis, to produce a new synthesis...not considering goog as good or evil as evil, but rather simply two opposite forces that when controlled by a Master can create and control conflicts producing wealth by providing both sides with weapons and reasons by lies, and the wealth equals power...and there you go...power via human bloodshed.
