Chapter 24: The Perfect Angel

In the magnificent palace, the Son of God emitted endless light and heat was suspended in the air, and the thirty-six pairs of flame wings behind him waved at will, and countless sparks fell from the wings like a rain of colorful flowers, and in front of the Son of God was a dark thing that sat high on the throne and was shrouded in deep darkness.

Looking at the angel king in front of him, who was still expressionless and couldn't see any joy and anger, the dark thing crossed his hands casually, and then said in a deep voice.

"The King of Angels, God created man in His own image to multiply in the Garden of Eden, and man had desires, desires and love. ”

"O angel before me, I can say bluntly: God is the prototype of man, God also has desires, God also has **, God also has desires, God also decays, God also falls, God also dies, and the omnipotent God is not perfect. ”

There was something inexplicable in his deep voice, and the erected snake pupils looked coldly down at the son of the god in front of him.

And the answer of the Son of God was equally straightforward.

"Not really. ”

The King of Angels' grim face did not change at all, but said calmly as usual.

"Really?"

Hearing this, the dark thing that could not see the face clearly did not say no, did not refute directly, but leaned on the throne, stroked the forehead with one hand, and stretched out the other hand in the direction of the king of angels in front of him.

"King of Angels, what does desire seem to you. ”

"Lust is sin. ”

The King of Angels said calmly.

The normal answer is that in the eyes of the angels, lust is sin and should be removed.

"Not true. ”

The dark thing, however, shook its head, its outstretched fingers moving from side to side in denial.

"King of angels, you are the embodiment of God's will, and you should understand that God created this world, and God created everything in this world except me, time, space, order, existence, right and wrong, good and evil...... All righteousness was created by God, so it ...... Isn't lust also a creation of God?"

The dark thing opened its eyes, looked directly at the king of angels in front of it, and sneered.

"King of Angels, do you mean that the desires of this world are created by me?"

No, I only dominated desires, not created them, and desires are God's creatures. O angel before me, God does not create useless things, God created desires, and it is precisely because desires also have the necessity of their existence, should you, as the embodiment of God's will, as the messenger of heaven, deny what God created?"

The Dark Thing scoffed.

In front of it, the king of angels frowned, and for a moment he was speechless.

Angels are the messengers of God and the embodiment of God's will, so to speak, angels are the hands and feet of God.

Then, the dark thing sitting high on the throne looked down on the king of angels in front of him and continued.

"It seems to me that there are sixteen fundamental desires in the world: power, the desire to influence others, independence, the desire to be self-reliant, curiosity, the desire for knowledge, acceptance, the desire to belong and to be included, order, the desire to establish order, collection, the desire to hoard, honor, the desire to be faithful to tradition, ideals, the desire to seek justice, socialization, the desire for companionship and friendship, family, the desire for parenting, status, the desire for social hierarchy and identity, the counterattack, the desire for revenge, romance, the desire for sex and beauty, the appetite, the desire for satiety, sports, the desire for physical fitness, and tranquility, the desire for peace of mind. ”

The original source of these sixteen fundamental desires is that they all originate from their own imperfections and their own defects. ”

The deep voice sounded in the ears of the King of Angels, and the voice of the dark thing seemed to have some kind of inexplicable magic in it, and people couldn't help but want to listen to its voice, and instinctively revered, admired, excited, and even ...... Fanatical worship.

Something is wrong, something is very wrong!

Anyone can realize this, but the King of Angels remains motionless......

I don't know when the flame wings behind the King of Angels stopped moving, and even those scattered sparks stopped in the air, and countless dazzling sparks were suspended in the air, looking extremely gorgeous.

In the palace, the dust and tiny particles that were faintly visible in the light also stopped, and even the light itself stopped moving.

Beyond this magnificent underwater palace, the boundless water, the fish and monsters swimming in the water, and even the birds on the sea, the white clouds and glow in the sky......

Everything came to a standstill.

Time stood still.

And in this completely still world, only the dark thing that sat on the throne and could not see clearly still moved.

The erected pupils were cold, looking at the king of angels in front of him, as if he could shoot straight into the depths of the other party's pupils and see the other party's heart.

After a long time, a deep voice slowly sounded.

"Sure enough, you can see it. ”

On the other side, the King of Angels remained motionless.

"King of Angels, my power is very strong, very strong, strong enough to be able to dominate the entire material world with my own will, time, space, death, all earth, water, wind and fire are all under my will, but even if I am as strong as I am, I am still flawed, not perfect. ”

"I can stagnate the entire material world, make my will above the world, and thus dominate the entire material world, but even then I am not invincible, because I cannot dominate the mental world, and because of this, I once lost to a guy who is beyond the shackles of the material world and has to fight with my soul, and in the same way, even if I stagnate the world, you can still think in this stagnant world......"

In the presence of the stagnant King of Angels, the Dark Thing rises from the throne and walks in the direction of the King of Angels......

"Step on ...... Trample...... Step ......"

In the image of the angel king's frozen pupils, only a pair of feet could be seen stepping into the void, walking towards him.

"Life is flawed. ”

"Because we are flawed, we have all kinds of desires to try to fill in our own shortcomings, to make ourselves perfect, and it is because of our imperfections that we try to chase perfection. ”

In my ears, a low, magical voice sounded along with the sound of footsteps.

And the so-called loyalty, reverence, worship...... It is because of their own imperfections, and when they see things that are far closer to perfection than themselves, they will desire to imitate them. That's why they offer their loyalty and belief in order to try to be closer to each other, to imitate them, to make themselves more perfect. ”

"The poor worship the rich man's money, and the rich man revere the peace of the ascetics, because in their eyes they both see what the other has and what they do not have. ”

"King of angels, I know very well what loyalty is, and both the Serpent and Cain worship me, not because they are loyal to me, but because they fear me, because they fear me, because they fear my strength, because they tremble before me, because they are afraid, because they realize how small they really are, that they are so loyal to me, because they worship me. ”

"Loyalty is a kind of longing, and there are many reasons for this longing, it can be said that the pursuit of power, the fear of power, the pursuit of glory, can also be others, many, many ......"

In the image reflected in the pupils, the dark things that cannot be seen clearly are already close at hand, so close that the two can clearly see every detail of each other's pupils.

In a trance, the dark thing that was originally unable to see the face gradually began to melt, forming another form......

The cold to the cold face, the dazzling brilliance, the thirty-six pairs of flame wings behind him gently waved, they were emitting endless light and heat towards this world, as if they were looking in a mirror, in the stagnant time and space, two angel kings who looked the same stood opposite each other.

The only difference is that one of them has indifferent pupils, while the other has cold pupils that are emotionless.

Stepping on the solidified void under his feet, the "King of Angels" looked at the King of Angels in front of him, the thirty-six wings behind him completely unfolded in an instant, wanton sparks flew down, opened his arms, and said softly.

"So...... Tell me, Metatron, what is the reason for your devotion to God?"

"Is it because of the pursuit of glory? or trust in the Creator, or because of something else?"

The murmuring voice carried some kind of inexplicable magic, little by little into the heart of the king of angels in front of him, and in the solidified pupils, the "king of angels" who looked the same as himself, but was wanton and arrogant, seemed to be the other side of the heart of the king of angels, gradually slowly enlarged, bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger...... It almost completely enveloped the pupils of the King of Angels.

"But, Metatron, don't you realize it, or can you avoid the fact that angels are to God? are hands and feet, and tools, and does your Creator really care about you?"

The murmur seemed to sneer.

"Bang !!"

In an instant, a ray of brilliance suddenly shot out from the depths of the solidified pupils, and the erected pupils of the "King of Angels" who were close at hand shrank slightly, and they only had time to avoid it, and this brilliance immediately shot directly on the beams and pillars of the palace.

"Boom Rumble......

With a loud roar, the stone beams and pillars behind him collapsed, raising countless clouds of smoke and dust.

The erect pupils of the "Dark Thing" looked indifferently at the Angel King opposite, and at its cheek, a shallow wound appeared, and a little golden blood spilled from the wound.

On the other side, a shallow wound appeared on the Angel King's cheek, the same position and size as the face of the "dark thing".

The two of them looked the same, as if they were looking in a mirror.

The dark creature squinted in the direction of his wound, and the slender snake letter in his mouth reached out, licking out all the blood that oozed from his cheek.

"I tasted the ...... of deep anger"

The dark thing closed his eyes and laughed in a deep voice as he tasted the blood in his mouth.

"Ho-ho, that's interesting...... The power of the mind is really powerful, and it was even able to break through the shackles of the material world for a time, beyond my control. ”

"But, O Metatron, don't you realize, doesn't God know your situation, doesn't he know what I say to you? Of course He knows it, but He doesn't care, even though you are the king of angels, God doesn't care about you, just as the craftsman doesn't care about the personal likes and dislikes of the hammer, and to God you are just a tool......"

"If the tool is broken, it's just a new one, and the king of angels is depraved...... That would simply be the creation of a perfect Messiah. ”

"God Loves the World, But Does God Love the Angels......

......

At some point, the stagnant time resumed flowing, and the shining angel king reappeared in the palace of Saturn, and the case in front of him was piled with all kinds of reports and things to deal with.

After a long silence, the Vice-Monarch of Heaven began to deal with the mountain of affairs again. The solemnity in his eyes remained as if it had never heard those blasphemous words.

Just as it leaves the impression on the world, he is a perfect angel who is determined, persistent, diligent, humble, just, benevolent, never slackening, and is highly admired......
