Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

Does this mean that sinners do indeed have a chance to join Heaven?

The angels of the angelic council argued endlessly, their opinions divided, chattering as noisily as a marketplace. Finally, an angel who resembled a cherubim questioned the silent Sera.

"Sila, it is you who affirmed that the nature of the soul will not change, yet we face the repeated denials of these beliefs by those believers from the human world. We believed your statements, certain that salvation will never happen. How do you explain this?!"

Sira remained silent. She, like Lucifer, knew about the possible conditions for the 'redemption' of souls, but just as Lucifer was the only angel who insisted on believing in the free will of mankind, he was also the only one who believed in the concept of redemption.

After all, how can a soul corrupted by the 'sins' of hell possibly ascend to heaven?

But now, there are living examples right in front of us, and not just one, but hundreds of thousands!

Sila knew he had to handle this matter well, or else—the division of Heaven would be imminent!

“Indeed!” Sila spoke, first silencing the argument with her authoritative voice, then looking at Tsugumi, who was bound in the center of the council, and questioning her.

"You sinner! How did you get here! Did you force your way into Heaven? Did Morning Star help you?!"

"What are you afraid of?" Tsurugi looked at the supreme six-winged angel, his voice low and mocking.

"What are you denying? The reality unfolding right before your eyes, the redemption and elevation of the soul—are you to believe that is impossible?"

"Answer your question!" Sila shouted.

"If your soul is unforgivable, how can you enter heaven? If your soul is righteous, how can you fall into hell?"

“It’s very simple!” Tsurugi easily tore off the chains binding her, and the wings of light on her back unfolded, instantly shining with holy light that was no less powerful than that of Sira!

"Because I am justice!!!" He raised his right hand high, proclaiming in a resounding voice.

"Whether I am in hell or in heaven, I will carry out the work of justice!"

"This world is flawed; the rules that govern it are hidden and therefore flawed, especially Hell—it shouldn't be like this!"

He scanned the angels, then looked past Adam, and said solemnly.

"Hell is meant to punish sinners, but you use it only to punish Lucifer!"

"You used what should have affected the entire world on just one person!"

"Lucifer gave away the fruit; he brought sin upon humanity!" Sila said coldly.

"it serves him right!"

“Yes, that’s absolutely right. So hell is where he should be punished, and it should also be where all of humanity is punished!” Tsugumi retorted, not backing down an inch.

"Without the torment of hell, how can the beauty of heaven be highlighted? Without the punishment of suffering, how can humanity be motivated to do good out of fear?"

"What you're talking about are just religions that humans think they're so great!"

"But the religion you so self-righteously proclaim is better than the entire heaven!" Tsurugi said, looking at Sila.

"If parents don't teach their children the difference between right and wrong from a young age, isn't it also the parents' fault if their children make wrong choices?"

"If Heaven claims to be the arbiter of world order, it needs to establish rules and standards! Only in this way will humanity make the right choices, instead of choosing depravity out of ignorance and under pressure from others!"

He pointed to himself with one hand and towards the outside of heaven with the other.

“My apostles and I are the best and most vivid examples! They all fell into depravity because of their families, circumstances and other problems. They did make mistakes, but their sins did not warrant death. However, because of Heaven’s inaction, they were forced to associate with the truly fallen!”

"If you care about and truly love humanity, you should teach them and write down the correct rules, instead of sitting high in the heavens and ignoring the affairs of the world!"

"If you only care about Heaven, then you must define right and wrong! Isn't it precisely because of Heaven's inaction that such sinners continue to fall into Hell, making those who should be part of Heaven also part of the forces of Hell?"

Sira remained silent, head bowed, while the angels murmured amongst themselves, clearly beginning to side with Dongjiang.

"So how did you atone for your sins?" Adam asked with interest.

"Damn it, you're the first person in the entire world to go to heaven since humans came out of my O-ball, and you even brought so many people with you! Fuck, tell me how you did it!"

“Pain and sacrifice,” Tsugumi replied.

"Whether sinners are passive or not, the fact that they have made mistakes is undeniable. Therefore, they must pay the price for their mistakes. They must bear the pain commensurate with their sins and sincerely repent in the midst of that pain, understanding their wrongdoings."

"Then their souls will be cleansed, and finally, through a proper sacrifice, they will have the opportunity to reach heaven!"

"Wow, that sounds great!" Adam laughed and raised his hand.

"And it sounds difficult, folks. Do we really need to dwell on this? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, doesn't that prove he's right?"

"I am the progenitor of mankind, the first Dick! All humans are my children, and as their father, I have the right to say this!"

He patted his chest and said

"If children who have committed sins can recognize their mistakes and pay a price equal to their sins, then I am willing to accept them back as one of those shot out of me, O Barry!"

—Although his language was still vulgar and offensive, Adam was indeed covering up the details for himself. Tsugumi looked at this Dick King, raising an eyebrow slightly beneath his hood.

It seems that humanity's ancestors also agreed with Tsuruga's approach—at least partly so—regarding atonement and redemption.

The true angels were once again in an uproar, and this time they were even more in favor of standing with Tsurugi.

But—another unexpected event occurred.

He's lying!!!

As a portal opened in the center of the council, a weak and disheveled Emily flew out, screaming.

"Emily!!!" Sila rushed over to protect her sister, while Emily, disregarding her own rest, flew to Tsurugi's side and shrieked with hostility.

"He was a sadist, a serial killer. That wasn't atonement; it was torture of the soul!!!"

After saying that, Emily conjured a mirror, and what appeared on the mirror was the Pentagram City at this very moment.

The angels gasped as they looked at the pentagram city, which had been almost completely razed to the ground. For them, who had lived in the capital for so long and had never experienced war, such destruction was unimaginable.

But this is clearly just a minor beginning.

As Emily demonstrated how Tsurugi tormented these sinners to 'atone' for their sins, the angels' attitudes instantly turned to terror.

"How could they do this! It's horrible, so cruel!!!"

"Even the devils of hell wouldn't do something so cruel, how could he bear it!"

"Even criminals shouldn't be treated like this!!!"

The angels' attitudes began to shift dramatically. If they had just agreed with Tsurugi's statement, they were now questioning Tsurugi's cruelty.

"Such cruel acts are not what Heaven should do—nor should they be called atonement!" Emily flew past the angels, loudly denouncing them.

However, Tsugumi's attitude towards this remained unchanged.

"If killing someone is considered atonement simply by experiencing the pain of being killed, then what about justice and fairness?"

Undeterred, Tsugumi faced the angels accusing him of cruelty, especially at this nonsensical six-winged angel named Emily, and coldly said...

"Human life is only once, and many things are irreplaceable treasures. If one person takes another's life and then only has to experience the pain of death once, that is not atonement!"

822>>>>

"All I see is pleasure in tormenting these souls!" Emily shouted, her eyes wide.

"They are all human beings, and they were once human beings just like you. How can you be so heartless?"

"I'd be happy to do so, because in my eyes, those who commit these unforgivable crimes are not human!" Tsurugi sneered.

"You are an angel, born high above, so you can stand here and speak so casually. What right do you have to represent humanity and make judgments?"

“If I am wrong, then tell me why I am here, and why my apostles are here.”

"Does our becoming angels prove our absolute correctness, or is it—"

"As a six-winged angel, are you questioning the rules that God established when He created Heaven?"

Emily's expression froze; clearly, Tsurugi's move had caught her completely off guard.

First label them, then they choose sides—their tactics are still stuck in the old days!

542. What's the point of arguing? Let's stop arguing and start fighting!

Before coming, Dongjiang had actually prepared himself mentally, knowing that he was unlikely to see any normal divine paradise.

What orderly ranks, angels serving the Lord and helping the souls of good people, countless heavenly kingdoms of bliss, souls enjoying peace and happiness, and heavenly armies always ready to rub their hands together and watch over hell, prepared to go down and give them a free back massage.

Ha, how could I expect to see this kind of thing in this OOC world?

Even though she was mentally prepared, Tsugumi still felt nauseous!

After just one meeting with this group of clueless guys, Tsugumi had basically grasped the tone of this paradise.

If the paradise of those two lecherous female angels was one of hedonism and unreliability, then the paradise of this world belongs to...

My God! Our Heaven is practically a world of far-right feminists!

If you want a mature, stable, and saintly bitch, there's the supreme six-winged angel Sila; if you want a pure and innocent little angel, we have Emily. And if you want to see the stinky man Ning and his loyal hound, there's our Archaeopteryx and Lute.

To be honest, you fans of Paradise are really enjoying your food! I've become a fan myself today!

That's disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

In Dongjiang's eyes, this paradise was even more disgusting than the paradise of those two bitch angels!

Although the angels in Heaven indulge in excessive pleasure, they still strike hard against Hell! They show no mercy when demons emerge, and any problems they encounter are merely internal issues.

Looking at this paradise again, Tsuruga only needed to glance around to know that dereliction of duty was actually the smallest problem in this paradise.

He had previously felt disappointed in the innocent Adam of this world—

But now he wants to apologize to Adam, who is a saint compared to these trashy angels!

"These still cannot explain your existence," Xila said coldly, looking at Dongjiang.

She hugged the bewildered Emily, and with a wave of her hand, the playing screen showed the scene of Tsurugi tearing off his saintly skin and becoming the King of Hatred!

This caused an even bigger uproar among these soft-hearted angels.

"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this? It's terrifying!!!"

"A demon! He must be a terrifying demon! Banish him from Heaven!!!"

The angels screamed in terror, chattering like women, which only made Tsurugi feel more and more headache-inducing and speechless.

If the dereliction of duty in Hell is the inaction of Heaven, then who should be blamed for Heaven's cowardice?

Tsurugi responded in a very direct way—he directly drew upon the Holy Light, calling out to the sky, to the top of Heaven, and to his own heart!
