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

No, appearance and skin color are unimportant. In Gabriel's view, the most important thing is—

"Michael's messenger?"

He frowned slightly as he looked at this uninvited guest, whose heart, belonging to an angel descended to earth and resided within, beat almost imperceptibly a few times.

Why are you here? Is Michael about to descend?

The mark of the sleepless, a dazzling emblem on this mortal.

That was the mark of Michael, the only one among the angels who stood above Gabriel, the vice-king of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the leader of the heavenly army.

This emblem represents his tireless protection of the souls of all living beings in the mortal world, safeguarding them from evil before they succumb to depravity; it is the mark of a warrior and a guardian.

Since the beginning of human history, only a handful of people have received Michael's mark, but even the mark on Saint George, who slew the dragon, is not as dazzling as that of the mortal before him.

This means that Michael had extremely high regard for the mortal before him, and perhaps... he might have even received the Lord's approval.

"Relax, relax, Ancient One," Tsurugi said with a grin, waving his hand.

“Mammon is not worthy of Michael’s personal intervention, is he? Besides, it’s questionable whether that thing is even Mammon.”

Gabriel's eyes narrowed slightly; he almost couldn't resist making a move.

"It seems that possessing a mortal body also has a great influence on the spirit of an angel."

Looking at the emotion that flickered in Gabriel's eyes, Tsugumi said softly.

"Betrayal, deception, slaughter—it's hard to believe an archangel could do such things..."

"Shut up!!!"

Gabriel's eyes flashed with a cold light as he raised the wings on his back, though they were no longer the snow-white color of the angels in heaven.

Her wings were stained with some dark color, like dirt, like dust and grime dripping onto a pure white cloth.

"I just want to awaken human nature!"

Gabriel took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to regain his composure, and said in a slow voice...

"You humans are blessed by God, and each of you can receive salvation from the Creator. Murderers, rapists, child abusers, as long as you repent, you will eventually have the opportunity to return to the embrace of God."

"Of all things in the universe, past and present, only humankind possesses this privilege."

He walked up to Dongjiang, golden light shining in his eyes, gently placed his hand on Dongjiang's chest, and whispered...

"This is not fair."

“If a merciful God loves the world so much, I must make you worthy of His love. You possess great humanity, but that is a color that only blossoms before danger and suffering.”

"I want you to perform better, to face the devil, to face the pain, to face the cruel trials. Only those who shine with humanity under such circumstances are qualified to go to heaven."

Tsugumi lowered her head slightly, looking at the seven different plastic cable ties hanging on Gabriel's wrist.

These are all cable ties worn by patients in a mental hospital, each representing one of seven different mental illnesses, and perhaps, they also represent Gabriel's mental state.

As a 'hybrid' angel, He has gone mad!

This world is the world of "Hellblazer," or perhaps the world of "Constantine."

Although it shares the same IP, this is not part of the DC Universe, or rather, it is just an insignificant parallel universe within the DC Universe.

Although Tsugumi was quite curious about whether there were places like Gotham or Metropolis here, his work was more important right now.

I might come back and look for it again when I have time later.

The plot of this world can be summarized very simply:

Constantine, suffering from lung cancer and fearing the torment of hell, seeks a chance to go to heaven. Meanwhile, Angela's sister, Isabella, commits suicide by jumping from a mental hospital. Confused and bewildered, Isabella prays to a priest to grant her sister a chance to go to heaven.

Those who commit suicide do not enter heaven; this is an ironclad rule of heaven. What Angela didn't know was that her sister chose suicide to sacrifice herself to save more people.

Lucifer's son, Mammon, longed to break his father's old pact with God, to sneak into the human world and turn it into a living hell, thus breaking free from his father's control and becoming the king of the world.

—This plot adaptation is strange in itself. Putting aside the fact that Mammon is Lucifer's son, which is likely a misinterpretation of the nickname 'Son of Hell', if it were the original comic book plot, the person who came to collect Constantine here should be a First Fallen One.

Putting aside the comic book plot, this conspiracy requires the help of Longinus, the Spear of Destiny, and an angel to sacrifice a psychic, so that a great demon like Mammon can be smuggled into the human world unharmed.

The psychic was originally Isabella, but she chose suicide to avoid this outcome. Constantine, on his way to survival, met Angela, became involved in the incident, and ultimately uncovered the conspiracy.

But he was easily defeated by Gabriel in the end, so in order to stop it all, he chose to commit suicide, because Lucifer would come to take his soul away, and Lucifer would never allow himself to lose his bet with God because of a foolish son.

Constantine, having met Lucifer, used this information to obtain a favor that Lucifer owed him. Lucifer then dealt with Gabriel, who was without God's protection, but Constantine's condition was not to extend his own life but to allow Isabella to ascend from hell to heaven.

Then came the iconic scene: Constantine, having fulfilled the conditions for heaven through his sacrifice before death, was about to ascend to heaven with the middle finger raised. But Lucifer intercepted him halfway, burned his lungs and replaced them with new ones, because Lucifer believed that someone like Constantine would continue to commit crimes in his life, and ultimately gave his soul to him.

The story unfolds in a very complete manner, and although there are many flaws in the details that cannot withstand scrutiny, it is still a comic book adaptation that tells a good story.

—Anyway, among Warner Bros.' terrible DC adaptations, this thing is at least in the top three.

So Tsurugi still has a deep memory of this movie, but when he reviewed the plot, he realized that it was all part of God's script from beginning to end.

This isn't some conspiracy theory, because Constantine's close follower Chase Clem returned to Heaven as an angel after his death, which shows that God was always watching Constantine.

Therefore, Gabriel's plan had absolutely no chance of succeeding from beginning to end, even if he did manage to bring Mammon to Earth.

Michael: Do you dare to have a go at me?

Lucifer was well aware of this, so he would never let things become so embarrassing—after all, he didn't want to be stepped on again.

This is why Tsugumi said that Gabriel in this world has gone mad.

Clearly, Gabriel, the angel confined to this world, did not return to Heaven after Jesus' arrival to continue serving God, as is the case in the mythological world. Instead, he was sent down by God to watch over humanity.

This world contains hybrid angels and hybrid demons. The latter are naturally the product of the intercourse between demons and humans, but the former are quite different.

Angels do not have gender, nor do they possess such desires. Hybrid angels actually refer to angels sent from Heaven to Earth who possess the bodies of deceased humans.

They transformed from pure angels into half-human, half-angel hybrids, the so-called hybrid angels.

Gabriel was in this situation, and unsurprisingly, he was the first hybrid angel.

Judging from his mental state, he has seen too much of the diversity of the human species and feels disgust and contempt for them, but he is also indignant to see that they can go to heaven as long as they repent. So he decided to do something big.

This wasn't out of any selfish motive; it was simply that Gabriel wanted to have more humans worthy of God's favor around Him. Therefore, from God's perspective, this wasn't a sin that would lead to his being cast off from Heaven.

As for cooperating with the devil? So what? We're essentially two departments of the same company. What's wrong with colleagues cooperating with each other?

His problem was simply that he overstepped his authority. All things on earth belong to the devil, while souls belong to heaven. His actions amounted to taking his own department's official seal and stamping it on the other department's.

Tsugumi blinked, looking at Gabriel who seemed calm but was already brewing killing intent in his heart, and chuckled as she held his hand.

"What a coincidence, I have the same idea as you."

Gabriel blinked and whispered...

“Michael’s messenger, why do you lie?”

Although Michael was the strongest and best among them, his personality wasn't actually that aggressive or warlike. In Gabriel's view, Michael's care for humanity was almost like God's doting affection.

How could a chosen one of the angels who dotes on humanity possibly have the same extreme ideas as him?

"Ah, I know you don't believe me."

Tsugumi smiled and raised her hand, revealing the holy mark on her wrist.

“Gabriel, what I mean is—you’re still too mild.”

"My opinion on these troublemakers in the human world right now is—let's have another mass extinction!"

After saying that, he took out his treasure and put it to his lips without hesitation, inhaling and preparing to blow the horn!

Gabriel's expression changed drastically, and he instantly pounced on Tsurugi.

"It can't be that bad, it can't be that bad!" Gabriel covered Tsurugi's hand, his expression slightly horrified as he tried to persuade her.

"There's no need to be so extreme!"

Having transmigrated, my only purpose is to kill, kill, kill! : 73. In short, let's start a world war first.

"Your method won't work, you have to watch mine! There are just too many scoundrels among humans, they all fucking deserve to die!"

"No, I'm testing humanity! Humanity still has its merits, and there are still great people worth saving!"

"Quack! Gabriel, stop being so fussy, you're acting like a woman!"

"Tsugumi, you're going too far!!!"

After a struggle, Gabriel, still shaken, stopped Tsurugi.

I can't help but be scared!

This is the first time He has seen such an extraordinary saint since He descended to earth!

The saints He had met in the past, whether it was Abraham or Noah, Moses or Joan of Arc, may have had different stances and actions, but what remained unchanged was their love and tolerance for humanity.

Even Joan of Arc, who killed the most saints, did not curse the English when she was tied up and burned at the stake. Although she could not pray to God to forgive those who killed her like the Son of God, she was still compassionate until her death.

But look at this saint before you named Dongjiang, the apostle of Michael.

What kind of saint starts out shouting about mass extinction?!

Are you the angel of extermination blowing your trumpet, or am I the angel of extermination blowing my trumpet?!

Furthermore, this was the first time Gabriel had ever seen a mortal qualified to perform the miracle of the Extinction.

After finally managing to stop the other party, Gabriel looked at Tsurugi with a meaningful gaze.

There is a difference between saints; some saints are only protected by angels, while others, like Noah, are favored by God.

No—even Noah received far more favor than the humans before us!

While mass extinctions are also miracles, they are not like miracles such as the parting of the seas and the discovery of the Ark; those miracles belong entirely to God's power!

The angels can perform most other miracles, but the Great Extinction is an absolute right that no angel can overstep.

Even the Viceroy of Heaven is no exception to this principle. Even Gabriel, who once sounded the trumpet of destruction, did so only once under the command of God.

After that, the horn was taken away by God, and the mortals before them now possessed the power to instigate a mass extinction on their own—

Even if this miracle still needs to be reported to Heaven in the end, the fact that it happened is enough to make Gabriel's mind wander!

Hiss~~~~~

Could it be that the Easterner before us is actually another son of God?

His third child after Adam and Jesus?
