Chapter 18: Gabriel's Wishes
Raphael picked up the bottle of demon's blood in disbelief and looked at it carefully, and from her eyes, Lilith clearly saw the vast universe and countless stars.
"Raphael." Gabriel saw that his sister was indulging in the desire to be guided by the demon's blood, and hurriedly stopped her name.
"............" Raphael was speechless in fright, and after a long time, she smiled at her brother with admiration: "You really found the precious demon's blood. ”
"That's not to thank Lilith." The archangel turned her head to Lilith, who was silent, but the woman appeared in Raphael's palace with a solemn expression and a worried expression.
"Oh?" Raphael curiously turned his gaze to Lilith, who had been silent.
The room suddenly became suffocating to the woman, and the eyes of the two gods were focused on herself, one god waiting for her exact explanation, and the other god just wanted to understand the process of going through it all.
"I didn't delay the treatment, it's fine." Lilith replied, and left the uncomfortable palace without looking back.
There was always a divine power that pulled Lilith to the door of Cupid's palace once again, and she remembered what had happened in the past. Lucifer attacked the heavens again, just to prove that he was still strong, and the gods sent Lilith to fight against him in order to keep the sacred place. At that time, Lilith understood that as long as Lucifer had a place in her heart, the war would not be very tragic, so she took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Eros's manor alone, pulling and pulling on the walls of various love threads, and she was too obsessed to be with him...... Thinking of this, Lilith slowly raised her hands that had been battered by the vicissitudes of life and bled more than once, and stood at the door staring at them blankly, even begging Lucifer to take her home, the man still ruthlessly stabbed the sword in his hand into Lilith's body......
The smoke of gunfire was everywhere, and the soldiers rushed forward desperately, and the second great war in the heavenly realm officially began. Suddenly, blood splattered everywhere like goose feathers......
The blood-red sunset is gradually fading, the gods and demons are facing each other to the death, neither retreating nor any rushing, the same Jerusalem battlefield with a lot of corpses and the chariot baggage that was lifted against no one side to fight, at this time Lucifer and Michael on the battlefield are like two lions who are unwilling to surrender to each other, staring at each other, no one can escape first, humbly put down their identity and dignity.
Without saying a word, Michael slowly raised his bow and arrow and aimed it at Lucifer's heart, waiting for the most favorable time to shoot the only bow and arrow.
"You must be teasing me Michael, my dearest brother." Lucifer saw the weapon raised in the man's hand, and said with a contemptuous cold war: "You actually want to defeat me with Cupid's arrow of love?!" Hahaha...... You can figure it out too. The Hell King's retinue couldn't help but laugh when they saw Michael's so-called lethal weapon.
"Brother, you're wrong. Everything in the world is loving, even if Cupid has fallen into your most powerful assistant, but the essence of love will not exist because of his disappearance! Michael said confidently, but the arrow in his hand was unwaveringly aimed at Lucifer's heart.
"I don't have love at all, and it's just in vain for you to shoot me. It's just a waste of a bow and arrow with a love effect. Lucifer waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"Oh? Since my brother is so sure, then I have to try it on you to see if you really don't care about feelings or pretend. As soon as he finished speaking, Michael cut out the bow and arrow in his hand that had been aimed at the man's heart with unmistakable precision.
Suddenly, the cold light flashed, but it was another slash. Before the only arrow could touch Lucifer's body, it was ruthlessly split in half by his sword without hesitation.
"It's really stubborn." The sword drew a perfect silver arc in the air, and finally landed quietly beside Lucifer.
"Ah~" Lilith was caught off guard by the speeding weapon, flew out of the arrow, and showed her true form in front of Lucifer. Blood was flowing everywhere in her body, and the knife was pressing, and she suddenly fell to the ground and was dying......
At that moment, Lilith's eyes staring at the sky stubbornly had no intention of closing.
"You're using her as a weapon against me? It's even more ridiculous, how could she die if she was a puppet without a heart. Lucifer said naively.
“…… Master... Are you just watching Lilith leave you?" Lilith choked up and begged him to look at herself more, even if it was the only formal glance.
"Ivy, stop using this kind of deceptive trick. I'm not stupid, and I won't be fooled twice for the same thing. Lucifer decisively rejected her request, and said proudly with his head up.
"Is it..."So, in order to prove that she is the real Lilith, Lilith used the only trace of divine power left in her body that could save her life, and laboriously made a manju sawa in front of a man that only Lucifer could understand after seeing it: "Remember, this is the first time I have described the image of a lily......"
Lucifer was stunned, he stood aside with red eyes and a look of disbelief.
"Lilith......" the man whispered, his hard eyes gradually softening.
"I didn't expect to be separated as soon as we met, the master ......" Lilith was hugged into her arms by Lucifer who suddenly ran over, he gently helped her lover up, Lilith looked at his eyes very reluctantly, full of tears: "Is this the ending you want to see the most, I just want to go back to the home with you...... Why, why do you have to turn me away from thousands of miles away? ”
In addition to blood and loneliness, this war left Lucifer with nothing but pain in his heart that can never be repaired... This pain is not only from the gods he had sacrificed, but also from a kind of self-confession to Lilith. It's a pity that the man's regret and heartache will never have a chance to see it again......
However, Lilith, who died at that time, did not see the pain of Lucifer's regretful heart, maybe she would never see the moment when a man softened his heart because of her in this life.
Looking up at the devastated walls, Lilith decided to connect them back on the right track, as there is a saying in the world, "A twisted melon is not sweet." Perhaps, it will be faster to put these love threads back into Cupid's body. The chaos on the wall was caused by her own greed and obsession, and now Lilith plans to use these hands to set things right, Gabriel is right, there must be love in heaven and even hell on earth.
Michael quietly appeared at the door of the manor, quietly observing Lilith's busy back, and the scene of Gabriel talking to himself once again came to mind.
"Michael." Gabriel exclaimed solemnly, his serious expression making the whole atmosphere weird. Michael, who was about to shush the cold and ask for warmth, saw his brother coming menacingly, and he saw through everything.
"Brother, what do you want from me?" Michael was brilliant, and he told the truth.
"I helped you get the demon's blood, and you should fulfill my little wish." The conversation was straightforward and light-hearted for both men.
"Cupid is also our own brother, and you still want to ask me for what you did for him?" Michael looked at him pointedly and asked.
"I have no other reason to ask you for that." Gabriel replied.
The two gods did not communicate well, and Michael did not give Gabriel a definite answer, but he quietly appeared in front of Lilith, following her example and smoothing out all the entangled threads to connect them back to the right track. Through the crystal ball, Gabriel stared at the two people's every move in the manor, even though his heart fluctuated, his face still looked calm and indifferent.
“… Ivy... The name... Do you remember? Michael's gentle voice echoed in Lilith's ears, and for a moment the woman thought that it was Lucifer who appeared beside her, their faces were too similar, but their personalities were very different, one was uninhibited and loved freedom, and the other was obsessed with being a perfect god.
"It's a beautiful way of saying about sacrifice." Lilith suddenly remembered the time she had been in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, where Lilith fell but was regarded as a tribute to the heavens by humans, she lost all her mana and could not save herself from life, so she had to become a lamb to be slaughtered, helplessly and pitifully tied to the altar.
As evening approached, the sky over the town gradually turned a deep blue color, and the stars appeared in the sky, and their golden light flickered and weakened, as if they were blatantly mocking Lilith's embarrassment as she was trapped on the altar and hung by the people.
Suddenly, a white light streaked across the mysterious horizon, freefalling straight towards the place where Lilith was bound. However, when humans encounter this white light, the whole person appears to be more pious and praying, and they speak to it with eloquent words about their wishes and wishes for the coming year.
The flickering white light flew closer and closer, and Lilith could see what it was, it was just a carriage walking in the sky.
Gabriel strode out of the carriage, he looked at the down-and-out Lilith with disgust on his face, the archangel at that time proudly forgot the name Lilith, so in front of everyone, he renamed the girl "Ivy".
Then, the archangel left Jerusalem with Avi, a gift from humans to her, and the whole story begins after being taken away by Gabriel......
Thinking of this, Lilith's expression became melancholy, remembering the people of Jerusalem, and feeling inexplicably pitiful, Gabriel, who had been unruly in the past, became preoccupied, and he always looked at Lilith with a look of wanting to say something.
"It was you who made Gabriel's character gentle, no longer reckless and proud...... Lilith would you marry him? Along with memories of the past, Michael cut to the chase.
