Volume 2: The Holy War of Blood Chapter 26: Called the Brave

Absolute defense, absolute defense without any flaws, this is Gabriel's judgment after attacking again and again.

No matter which angle Gabriel attacks Lucifer, he will be blocked by the barrier of dark matter that surrounds him, and Lucifer just stands as quietly as Tarzan, but Gabriel can't shake him even a little with all his might.

It can't be, there can't be such a big gap! Each frustration of the attack will make Gabriel's next attack even more violent. He had never admitted in his heart that the power he had gained through these crooked ways was real, but it was this power that he thought was not real that stopped every attack he launched.

"Boy, are you still obsessed with the power of soul and righteousness that is praised by men?" Lucifer sensed the confusion and anger in Gabriel's heart. "Look at how vulnerable the so-called power of justice is, and how powerful the power I have sold my soul and self-gained. ”

"Shut up!" Gabriel raised his foot and kicked towards Lucifer's face, but was blocked by the barrier of dark matter before he could hit the disgusting face, and Lucifer just watched indifferently as Gabriel attacked in vain.

"You still don't understand, boy. Lucifer shook his head, "What kind of existence is the so-called power? Power exists only to dominate and satisfy itself, you don't even understand this truth, how can you beat me!?"

Am I really wrong all along? Gabriel hesitated briefly, in a sense, he was the same kind of person as Lucifer.

They all eventually turned their backs on heaven because of something, but Gabriel never thought they were the same people, because in his mind Lucifer was a cruel and tyrannical madman who would destroy the world, and he was simply disappointed in the so-called justice.

At the moment when he was stunned, the three ethereal spirits launched a surprise attack on Gabriel from behind, and although he was able to dodge the backstabbing of the first two ethereal spirits, he was still left by the third ethereal spirit with a not too deep wound on his side face.

He spread his wings, and the fierce wind bounced the ethereals away, and Gabriel jumped back a few steps like a dragonfly, opening himself up to Lucifer at a relatively safe distance.

Gabriel reached out and wiped the aching wound on his face, and the clear red blood stains on his fingers reminded him that he was at an absolute disadvantage in his current situation, and if he didn't think of a way out of the predicament, he would inevitably die here.

"I'll give you one last chance, one last time in the truest sense of the word. Lucifer slowly approached Gabriel, thinking that Gabriel might accept his previous offer. "Join me, so that you will have the same power as me, you are already so disappointed in the so-called justice, right?"

Lucifer's offer was undoubtedly tempting, especially in this situation, where someone else simply couldn't refuse. Gabriel also suddenly moved his heart, yes, because desire will not be broken, so the darkness will not disappear, and the most righteous people will fall because of that little stain, and the existence of justice is already a joke.

As long as I join Lucifer, I can no longer be bothered by these things, I can really get rid of the so-called responsibilities and obligations, and I will no longer be bound by these shackles, Gabriel actually wanted to go up to Lucifer for a moment and show him that he was willing to accept this offer.

"Is this really what you want?" a pair of invisible hands grabbed his arm at the moment of his heartbeat. Gabriel turned his head in disbelief at the familiar voice.

"Impossible, are you still alive, Michael!?" Gabriel cried out in disbelief, and then he suddenly found that everything around him had suddenly stopped moving.

"What the hell is this?" Gabriel looked at the still world around him, puzzled, "Has time stopped?"

"It's not that time has stopped, Gabriel. Michael walked up to him, "What you see is not necessarily real, and it may be just an illusion. How do you know it's the world itself or yourself that is stagnant?"

"It's not reality, but it can be called reality, like you're suddenly resurrected from the dead, right?" Gabriel asked rhetorically.

"It can be understood this way. Michael smiled, and that familiar smile made Gabriel feel like he had gone back in time. "I did die in reality, but that's what you think it is. And in this reality, I still exist, but I can only communicate with you in this way. ”

"Maybe it's the so-called spiritual world. Gabriel had already vaguely guessed the current situation, "You exist in my spirit, so I can see you." ”

"It's because you're in conflict that you can see me. Michael looked him in the eye and said, "Because you have lost your way, and have forgotten what you want, have you?"

"I'm already disillusioned with the so-called justice. Gabriel smiled bitterly, "Even the highest justice can turn into a shadow of depravity in a single thought, so what is the meaning of justice, the so-called responsibilities and obligations are just the shackles that our father uses to bind us." ”

"Do you know why you met those humans?" Michael asked, instead of directly refuting Gabriel's words. "Take a good look at those humans, you've been with them for a while, what do you know from them?"

"Is there anything about them that I should know?" said Gabriel, who could not come up with a reply for a moment.

"Thou art the archangel of courage, Gabriel. Michael opened his mouth to answer his doubts, "Aren't those humans the embodiment of the courage you represent?"

Courage, yes, courage. Gabriel suddenly became enlightened, because they had courage, they dared to challenge the fate of darkness, they would fight even if they were bruised, and the courage to challenge the impossible was the reason why humanity could continue to this day!

"Do you know why I'm telling you this, because you've lost your courage now!" Michael sighed. "Because you have witnessed Lucifer's fall and wonder if fear itself will be the same as him, it is that you turn your back on heaven in this panic, and you are just running away. ”

"yes, it's not so much that I'm disappointed in justice, but that I'm running away. Gabriel felt his hands tremble with self-reproach, "I'm just scared, fear is going to turn into someone like Lucifer, I, I want to even give in to the darkness, what the hell am I doing?"

Michael patted Gabriel lightly on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "Fear can make you lose yourself, and it's the same for you and Lucifer. Lucifer ended up in darkness out of fear because he saw a future that might happen, but you won't, because I believe you will surpass me and Lucifer, brother. ”

"Really, I have to tell a big truth at all times. Gabriel looked at Michael and smiled, the first time in all his years that he had smiled like this. "I didn't expect that in the end, I was actually taught by humans how to face my fears. ”

"What is the difference between us and humans?" said Michael, "that we are all the same as humans, except that we are more powerful than them, and there is no difference between us." ”

"I really feel relaxed and happy to be with them. Gabriel gladly agreed with Michael. "I want to fight alongside them, maybe then I can be considered to have completed my own redemption, do you think so, big brother?"

"Go and fight with them, Gabriel. Michael's image began to blur, "I'll leave it to you to complete what I haven't done, and you're the only one who can defeat Luci, go and fight!"

"I see, big brother. A tear dripped from the corner of his eye, and the stagnant things around him began to move, and Gabriel had returned to the present world from the spirit world he had just had.

"Well, come to me, Gabriel. Lucifer was still persuading, "It's time for your pain to end, now throw yourself into the arms of darkness!"

Gabriel smiled disdainfully, he had come out of the confusion of the past, and now he seemed to be reborn. "No, I won't fall in the darkness like you. He said, "You have chosen to huddle in the darkness out of fear, but I will not choose the same path as you!"

"You, what are you?" Lucifer found that Gabriel was completely different from what he had just been, and his fighting spirit was actually burning even more in the midst of this absolute disadvantage. For a moment, Lucifer seemed to see the perfect overlap between Michael's figure and Gabriel, causing him to take a few steps back involuntarily in horror.

This powerful willpower did not seem to be at all from the fortune of a man who had just been in a state of decadence! Lucifer didn't know what had happened to Gabriel, but the feeling made him uneasy.

That is when you give up your last chance to be saved. Lucifer smiled evilly, trying to hide the panic in his heart just now. "But you can't beat me no matter what, and the only way to meet you is death!"

"The so-called power belongs to those brave people who never give up, and exists to protect the weak. The overwhelming power emanating from Michael's blue pupils caused the ethereals to curl up. They trembled and trembled, and Lucifer's pupils constricted.

"You don't even understand this truth, how can you win me!?" Gabriel smiled slightly, the once confused and sunken Archangel of Courage was reborn here.
