"Daddy......"

"Noah......

"Stop......"

Behind him, many screams rang out, but the blade in Noah's hand still slashed straight down his neck......

However......

Immediately, Noah's hand felt a sudden emptiness, and the cold steel that he had been holding was gone, replaced by nothingness, and the feeling of being pressed by the blade on his neck disappeared.

Noah looked down and saw that his hand was empty, and the sharp blade was long gone.

He turned his head back, and his wife and children behind him turned pale, and it was only when he saw that he was still alive that his face showed joy.

It wasn't his children who stopped him.

It immediately became clear to the man that he understood that there was only one being in this world who could do that...... Only the being above the Celestial Dome could make the blade in his hand disappear and stop his suicide.

"God, is it up to me whether I live or die?"

Although the man had already expected it in his heart, it became more and more miserable.

......

And that's when ......

"Boom Rumble Rumble......"

In an instant, the heavens shook, the waters stirred up thousands of waves, and the ark shook violently, so that they could only roll in a ball of panic and screaming.

Even the ark, which was able to maintain stability under the impact of the great flood, could no longer remain stable in this sudden tremor, and could only barely remain uncapsized in this earth-shaking and violent turmoil.

In an instant, the white light shone, and the heavens and the earth suddenly turned white, and there were only countless white lights in the ship and inside the ship.

"Boom!"

A deafening thunderclap rang out from the distant heavens.

The endless thunder resounded throughout the universe, accompanied by the thunder was the dark clouds that came together, the original blue sky above the sky, the sea of clouds for thousands of miles quickly turned black, and the sky covering the earth was shrouded in a deep and oppressive darkness in an instant, except for the thunder that sounded from time to time, there was no other to see.

"Baa ......"

On the altar, in the face of the sudden upheaval, the tied little lamb let out a childish cry and struggled in panic.

And in the ark, the panicked cries of the animals one after another were also endless, whether it was lions, tigers, cattle, sheep, pigs, or other animals, they all roared in horror at this moment.

"Woo Woo ......"

"Giggle......

"Hiss......"

"Chirp ......"

The barking of dogs, the barking of chickens, the neighing of horses, the chirping of birds...... All creatures in heaven, on earth, bipedal, winged, all cried out in horror and screamed for their coming tribulation.

Even when the Flood struck, they were able to remain quiet under the control of some will, but now, they were all in deep fear, because they could feel ......

Something wrathful.

Animals are more sensitive than humans, and humans cannot feel them, but they clearly feel the undisguised wrath of a certain vast and vast will, and they can only tremble in the face of this will, and let it be disposed of.

When Noah struggled to stand up, he raised his head, only to see that the top layer of the ark was directly cut off by some kind of force, and the ark, which was originally closed like a wooden box, was directly exposed above at this moment, and the sky overhead was cloudy, and at this moment he could look up directly without concealment.

"Boom ......"

In the oppressive and gloomy sky, among the dark clouds, there was a low thunder, as if it was the aftermath of heaven, and only two small stars were faintly visible in the dark sky.

Under the pitch-black sky, the ocean also looked as black as ink, and the big ship floating on this ocean was as weak as a leaf.

Noah looked around, and the whole ocean was shrouded in darkness, and the distant earth was faintly visible. And in the farther place, in the farthest place where the sea and the sky meet, there are inexplicably a few dark pillars, which have been connecting the sky and the earth.

Under the darkness of the night, the pillars could not see the shape, nor the thickness, nor the size, like a mountain, but it was larger than a mountain.

"Father's ......"

Flash looked at him with some uneasiness, and Noah could see that his eldest son was very uneasy about this sudden change, and this strange scene was far beyond the imagination of an ordinary person.

He looked at his wife and two other children, as well as at his daughters-in-law, all of whom looked nervous.

“...... It's okay. ”

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only hold his wife and sons, put his hands on their heads, and comforted them softly.

Noah hugged his wife and sons, and the sons held their wives, and Noah's infant grandchildren were held by their daughters-in-law, and in this unknown world full of danger and anxiety, the three generations of the family hugged each other to soothe their helpless and restless hearts.

Immediately, an endless white light suddenly bloomed in the sky, accompanied by a hymn among the clouds, piercing the darkness.

Noah looked up, and saw an archangel with wings on his back appear in the dark sky.

Its expression was solemn, its pure white pupils were emotionless, with a holy light wheel behind its head, a scepter in its hand, and its body radiated endless brilliance in all directions, shining brighter than the sun, becoming the only dazzling existence in the entire dark world.

"Gabriel ......"

Noah muttered the angel's name.

He had seen this archangel before.

One hundred and twenty-one years ago today, it was this archangel who announced to him the coming of the Great Flood, that time, the destruction of the old world.

Now, one hundred and twenty-one years later, the Archangel appears again, and this time, what will it proclaim?

Noah didn't know......

"Descendant of Adam, why should you give up the life God has given you? ”

The heavenly archangel lowered his head and looked down at the tiny human beings snuggled together in front of him, but there was no touch in his eyes, he just said coldly.

The angel's gaze was as hot as a sword, and just being gazed at by the archangel already made it hard to breathe, let alone have any other thoughts to refute it.

"Gabriel...... I'm just a mortal and can't guess what God means, but I can vaguely understand that there may be some special meaning to God about human beings, so God has kept us...... So, I wanted to gamble with my life to ask God ......"

Noah gasped with difficulty, and then looked directly at the blazing gaze of the archangel in front of him without fear, how hot and brilliant the archangel's gaze was, ten thousand times more dazzling than the sun, just squinting at it, it made Noah's eyes continue to cry.

Holding back the too dazzling light in front of him, Noah grinned with difficulty, and then said slowly.

"Looks ...... I won the bet. ”
