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

After being imprisoned and tried in Dongjiang, the paradise that Xila had described as the best place was finally and completely torn in two!

Led by Adam, the angels who were atoning for their sins, his exorcising angels, and almost all the angels who had ascended to human status stood in opposition to the Angelic Council.

After numerous fierce arguments, fights, and even armed confrontations, they finally chose to leave Heaven under Sira's threat and move to other parts of the starry sky, just to stay away from the true angels of the Angel Council.

It is worth mentioning that St. Peter, who guards the gates of Heaven, is among them. It is said that he rekindled the faith of his former teacher and began to believe again in the existence and greatness of the Lord.

The core of all this is that these angels who have risen from humankind no longer believe in the Angelic Council, no longer believe in the true angels and Sira, and even—no longer believe in the angelic representatives!

As angels, have they truly fulfilled their duty to protect the souls of good people and punish sinners?

If they did it, why would a six-winged angel liberate all suffering sinners? And if they were doing it, why punish an archangel who was stopping them?

Just because he was human, did he kill a true angel who deserved to die?

When the existing contradictions were completely ignited, the confusion of the past became evidence of inaction, and even if paradise was like this, they began to question whether this place was truly paradise.

"Look at you, hypocritical, cowardly, foolish... How pathetic it is that any messenger of God could become such a ridiculous person as you?"

Dongjiang looked at Xila's pathetic state and sneered.

"Are you afraid to face the truth? All people want is for good to be rewarded and evil to be punished, but you pretend not to see it, or do you not want to dirty your hands? Do you think that starting the slaughter will disappoint that little angel?"

"Shut up!" Enraged by the mention of Emily, Sila unleashed a silvery-white light, enveloping Tsurugi, who immediately felt as if she were being torn apart by a thousand knives.

"Hahahaha! You've broken down? Then kill me! You don't have the guts, do you!"

"You can't even be a proper saint, yet you dare not disobey your advocate and kill me when you're a villain. You're just fucking ridiculous, hahahahahaha."

"Did I do something wrong?" Standing before the prison cell, Sila leaned against the wall, questioning herself. She had once allowed Adam's mass extinction to protect Heaven, but had softened under Emily's questioning and pleas.

Now that Emily is dead, she should harden her heart and deal with Hell even more harshly! But she doesn't want to betray everything Emily created.

The pentagram of hell is still broken to this day, and she should have fulfilled her duty to repair it.

But she didn't. During this time, Sila was either overwhelmed with dealing with the fractured Paradise or brooding alone in Emily's room.

She knew in her heart that Emily had committed a crime comparable to Lucifer's, but she still absolutely could not accept Emily's death.

She wanted to kill Tsurugi, and this murderous intent was undisguised and unquestionable! But when she thought of God's Spokesperson, this murderous intent was forcibly suppressed.

She knows what is right and what is wrong, but she cannot uphold what is right while denying what is wrong.

She harbors a specific hatred and loathing for a person, yet she cannot let go of everything to achieve revenge.

It's pathetic and hypocritical. Even its patheticness is so mediocre. It can't be a good person thoroughly, and it doesn't have the guts to be a bad person either.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be one thing, but for the leader of angels, this sin of mediocrity is so profound.

Sera flapped her wings and returned to Heaven, where it remained as perfect, happy, and peaceful as ever. In fact, without the large number of human angels, it had become even more orderly.

"Well, those humans have finally left Paradise. Did they really think they could threaten us? How laughable!"

"Yeah, without these humans, Heaven is just as good as it was in the beginning! Haha, I really wish they all left Heaven!"

Two true angels were strolling around, chatting leisurely and happily. They were quite satisfied with humanity's departure from Heaven and didn't care at all about the fact that human angels had broken ties with Heaven and left.

On the contrary, they were quite at ease enjoying the peace and harmony that came with the absence of humans.

After the departure of a large number of human angels, the entire Heaven became like a game without players, a false yet perfect model world.

No more noise, no more clamor, no more chaos; only true angels living orderly lives and a few compliant human souls—perfect, peaceful, and false.

For whom does Heaven exist? Is it for humans who enter Heaven through good deeds? Or for the angels who are already in Heaven?

This answer is not difficult for these true angels; there is no other answer besides the latter.

In the eyes of these true angels, humans are merely passersby who entered Heaven only because of their kindness; only they, the angels who existed since the beginning of time, are the true masters of Heaven.

They should be even happier now that these annoying tenants have left!

While these true angels were enjoying their solitude and peace—

A thick, burning mist of black fire slowly rose before the silver arches of heaven. Before these now unguarded gates, the dark mist swallowed the pure white clouds.

Within it, a deep and sinister voice emerged from the black mist.

Even in the highest heaven, angels...still feel fear.

Pride Ring, Hell Inn

"Shirley? Shirley! My dear, where are you!"

Summoned by his daughter, Lucifer stepped into the now-ruined hotel, calling out her name.

Two footsteps sounded one after the other. Lucifer saw his daughter, and the sinner standing behind her—

“My beloved Your Majesty, it has truly been a long time,” Rosie said, smiling at Lucifer.

Lucifer initially disdained to answer the sinner's words, but he immediately noticed Shirley's lifeless eyes.

"What did you do to my daughter?!"

Lucifer instantly flew into a rage, his eyes turning bloodshot, and demonic feet sprouted from his head, unleashing a terrifying pressure upon the sinner before him with a terrifying roar of fiery energy.

"Calm down, I won't hurt her. My lovely little Shirley is also my dearest." Rosie covered her mouth with her fan and chuckled, looking at Lucifer.

"But to be honest, I never imagined that you, Lucifer, the best and most rebellious of creations, would have a daughter of your own..."

Lucifer stared coldly at Rosie, then, as if realizing something, his eyes widened slightly.

"You are—Eve?!"

"Haha, you finally recognized me!!!" Rosie laughed wildly and unrestrainedly, as if she had heard a ridiculous joke.

"I've been in the Pride Ring for over four hundred years, and you only just recognized me? Hahahaha!"

Lucifer's expression was grim. Yes, Rosie had never hidden herself; she had only changed her skin color and facial features slightly, but this was a natural change that sinners undergo when they enter hell.

842>>>>

The color of her soul has never changed from beginning to end. Lucifer has recognized her identity whenever he has looked at her seriously all these years.

But he didn't. He despised all sinners, whether they were lords or not; he saw them as nothing more than instruments of torture.

Swish! ! !

Lucifer froze time for a moment, then immediately separated Rosie and Shirley. After time resumed its flow, he had already torn off her head.

"That foolish little angel really freed you from your constraints, so why don't you go to Heaven and reunite with your wife?" Rosie, now only a head, smiled at the expressionless Lucifer.

Lucifer was about to say something when, in the next moment, a cold, sharp sensation spread from his chest, and the attacker was someone he had never imagined!

Shirley, no... not her, it's that fake...

Lucifer stared intently at his daughter, or rather, at the writhing shadow beneath her feet and the short sword in her hand with a black apple relief.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

P.S.: War begins! We'll take down Hell Inn on time, three days from now, on June 2nd!

562. Lucifer's Possessed Body: Another Dark History Added

"Hehehehe, even after all these years, Lucifer, you're still so easy to guess."

Rosie giggled as she took her head from Lucifer's hand and reattached it. Looking at Lucifer, whose chest was pierced, she gracefully took the Black Apple dagger from Shirley's hand with her slender hand.

"Shirley is such a lovely girl; even after going through so many setbacks, she's still so willing to trust others—"

Rosie's fingers slowly traced the shadows beneath Shirley's feet as she chuckled.

"She's nothing like Lilith's daughter at all; she's even sillier than you."

“You are not Eve…” Lucifer stared at Rosie. His intuition was never wrong; the soul of this 'thing' in front of him felt completely wrong!

"Really? Is it a problem with your face?" Rosie smiled and touched her face, instantly transforming from an ogre into a pale-skinned, black-haired woman.

"Am I not Eve in this state?"

No—absolutely not! Even if Eve might fall and become a sinner, her soul could never become so filthy and defiled!

Even though she was the first woman, she was ultimately just a life born from Adam's rib. Her soul could not become as deep and dark as an abyss.

"Oh, you finally figured it out? Didn't Lilith tell you all this?"

Rosie, Eve—no, it should be said that the being occupying this body smiled sinisterly.

"Poor Eve, she begged for your help countless times during the night. How much she regretted, how much she suffered, how much she resented the gift you gave her."

Lucifer's face turned deathly pale. He gasped for breath and gritted his teeth.

“It wasn’t just Lilith and I who tempted Eve, it was you who deceived us! You are the fruit tree, you produced the apples, it was you who seduced and deceived me.”

"Shifting blame? Whatever," ROO said with a smile.

"No matter what, it was you who destroyed Eden, and it was you who gave this hell all its evil colors."

“Lucifer Morningstar, you arrogant angel, presumptuously granted so-called freedom to mankind—but in reality, you have released me.”

"Hahahaha, I thank you! You truly gave me freedom, you gave me the opportunity to avenge myself against that abominable heaven and the Yahweh who betrayed and killed us!"

She laughed shrilly and maniacally, her posture becoming extremely terrifying and distorted with her horrifying laughter.

Her cheeks split open almost to their limit, and from her mouth, filled with sharp teeth, emerged a bizarre object composed of spine, flesh, eyeballs, and shadows.

There were also insect limbs, animal skeletons, human skulls, worm-like flesh, scaleless paleness... as if they were the product of a chaotic collection of countless things!

"Hehe ...

"The lofty Creator, God; the despicable Yahweh; the abominable Heaven!"

"I will devour your light, I will destroy your paradise, I will don your skin and pollute your worlds one by one!!!"

It laughed, cried, and howled; countless overlapping sounds merged with an immeasurable entanglement of consciousness within its body, a filthy, deep, and chilling stench!

Then it began to sing.

"I was born at the beginning of humanity, when they granted him freedom?"

"When the angels fell, that was when they began to resist?"

"My dear, I exist because of a mistake at the very beginning?"
