On Sunday, if the angels had to choose a day to meet with the vampires, it would be today. So... Grande Funeral Home was shrouded in demonic blackness.
"Please." Zach was in the center of this darkness. "Don't talk to too many people at once. I won't listen."
"Toledo, you are not qualified to make demands." The messy voices disappeared, and there was only one voice speaking, but it was obviously without any good intentions.
"This is not a requirement, this is the demeanor you should have. This is my home, and you are guests. I don't know what heaven is like, but in my home, maintaining self-cultivation is very important."
'Angel' was not the only guest who came to Grande today. In the outer layer of the black mist, Roy received another guest - Sibella who finally appeared.
When Zach kindly reminded the group of angels that this was not their world, Roy was looking at Sibella. Of course, there's dialogue: "Give me a good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now! Wizard!"
"Because of the ten-year agreement, Zimich. You will not touch me for ten years." Sibella fiddled with the tassels on her shawl, occasionally popping up dark red spells between her fingers to push away the approaching black, "These , How long will it take for Zach to deal with it?”
It is true that no black man dared to get close to Roy's body, but Roy agreed with Sibella and curled his lips, "I don't know!"
Back to Zach.
"Vampire, I advise you not to test our strength. We have nothing to lose. You don't want to push us."
"This is what I don't understand." Zach said calmly, "You all became like this because of the Holy Lord, now West. Have you ever visited Madison? He is the one who paid After losing everything, he desperately became a human being, armed with a useless writing skill, and trying to live in this world. He awakened West's divinity, he accomplished his goal, and he had nothing It’s nothing to lose. Have you done anything for your Holy Lord, the current West? Just say here that you have nothing to lose.”
Regardless of whether everyone agrees with it or not, the logic behind this statement is positive. Only after you have accomplished something in life can you say 'I don't care anymore'. And now the 'angels' in Grandry haven't finished anything yet! They don't have the right to say 'don't care', they just squeeze hard and want to get something more that they can give in their lives in exchange for a certain level of achievement!
The black began to tremble, Zach's personal space was being compressed, and the rolling black was biting away at the air around Zach. But Zach wasn't worried, he didn't feel like a demon touching the vampire's body.
"We were deceived by your 'doppelgänger' and fell to this point!"
"So what." Zach said calmly, "If you think Zagar is some kind of clone of me and there is any consistency in my behavior with Zagar, you shouldn't come to see me at all." Zach is serious Very calmly, "I will only deceive you once again."
"We feel like we've warned you not to test our tolerance levels!"
"Otherwise?" Zach asked, "Are you going to forcibly possess my employees at Grandri and have a duel with me?"
Black, rolling, very intense. However, the employees in Grande are very safe and no one is possessed.
There's a reason we keep referring to these fallen angels by angels in quotation marks. They have not yet realized that they are already fallen demons. Angels do not possess people casually, they want the container to be a believer, they want the container to willingly accept them into...
Oh, they are still childishly emphasizing that they have nothing to lose. Obviously, they still have the self-esteem of angels that should no longer exist, and they hold it tightly in their hands and refuse to let it go.
It's not a problem to let these 'angels' roll around in Grandli. Zach waved his hand, "Okay. I believe that during the past few days in Barton, you have at least heard about West's situation from others. Yes. Tell me what you want."
It continued to roll, but no one in the black was willing to speak.
"I feel the same way." Zach didn't mean to be sarcastic. We have already analyzed it. It was West who wanted to leave this world. It was the oracle, and Zach was the vampire who heard the oracle and obeyed it. These 'angels' in Grandli, hehe, have no ability to say the words that would make Zach resist the oracle.
Zach shook his head slightly, "I told Camille, I really want to help you." Before Zach introduced these angels to Newton, Zach had a question that needed to be resolved, "You don't want to do this Devil, don't you accept the fact that you have become a fallen angel?"
"This is not true! We are not demons!!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zach waved his hands. There was no emotion on his face, but in his heart, huh, it's impossible not to be sarcastic - 'You guys keep this self-esteem in your hands, and I still expect you to do this.' "I believe you have heard that some demons in the southeast of Barton were accidentally sent to heaven by my descendants. Therefore, you definitely have a chance to return to heaven. Is this what you hope for?"
"of course!"
"Okay. And you know this is related to the key to the door of heaven."
"We know! We also know..."
Zach interrupted, because the next words of the 'angel' were most likely 'Toledo no longer has the key to the door of heaven'. This fact does not need to be disclosed now... It is not accurate, there should not be these 'angels' Go public, Zach said himself, when the time is right.
At this moment, "But the devils in heaven are still devils." Before the 'angels' tried to grab the words, "You fell into devils in this world of the Republic. I want to know how this happened. The Faith of the Holy Lord as we know it The history is that fallen angels happened when hell and heaven were born, and the Holy Lord needed people to take charge of hell, which has attributes opposite to those of heaven. In addition, no one knew that angels could also fall in this world and become fallen angels."
The blackness was rolling, and Zach could tell it was the 'angels' communicating.
"The souls of the Republic do not have the Earth-binding spirit stage. The souls of believers cannot be judged by faith and open the door to the heavenly world." The result of the exchange was to tell Zach some of the facts, "Papa Midnight took advantage of this to prevent us from opening the door. The opportunity of the Gate of Heaven binds us to the Republic Continent. But the rules of faith are there. Although there is no trial of faith, the soul marks accumulated in human life have determined that the soul that belongs to heaven is the soul that belongs to heaven, and the same applies to hell. Same."
Zack can roughly understand that the key to binding angels to the present world of the Republic should be 'heaven is another world'. Remember, what Jian said when he took Linda away, under the cultural system of the Republic, after such a long time, this world still has not given birth to the key to another world (the key to the door of heaven). This means The key to this kind of door to heaven is not something from this world. Things that can be born in a world cannot be things that do not belong to this world. That's why 'Jian' wanted an inheritor, and wanted to use the characteristics of the inheritor to create something that did not belong to this world or to the concept of inheritance of republican culture for thousands of years.
Papa Midnight probably used republican cultural characteristics and some kind of witchcraft to block the angel's chances. After all, Papa Midnight already has experience in the battle of faith in the Holy Lord, and the culture of the Republic is simply a secret weapon against faith in the Holy Lord, a different world.
As for the second half, using the narrow understanding of human beings in this world, it is, "Good people belong to heaven and evil people belong to hell. The only problem is that the republican continent does not provide those souls with the necessary conditions to go to heaven or hell. But this does not prevent them from going to heaven or hell. The goodness and evil of people, under sufficient conditions, are sufficient in the Republic."
Rolling black, "The souls of republicans do not have the necessary conditions to go to heaven." Using Zach's understanding, "But we do. We are angels, and we are already creatures under the laws of the Holy Lord's faith. Although Papa Midnight is sealed We live in the paradise of the Republic, but we are still angels of the Holy Lord's faith." Find the opportunity to sarcastically say something about the vampires, "No matter how Papa Midnight distorts the laws of the world, we have not become like the vampires who stepped into the Indian homeland. A burning fireball, then reduced to ashes!”
Zach acted like he didn't hear anything, "It means that Papa Midnight can prevent you from going to heaven, but it can't change the nature of you being angels." Such simple words, they have to be so long-winded, because they are afraid that others will forget that they are angels.
"That's it. Angels are angels. This world and heaven are not the only places we can go."
Finally getting to the point, Zach urged, "How did you fall?"
"We killed the hellhound, we killed the messengers patrolling in time, we broke the order maintainers of the past, present, and future, we violated the world of the Holy Lord and the laws attached to this world, we were trapped in our bodies The rules of faith punish us, and then we fall.”
Zach knew that knowing the way the angels fell would give him new knowledge. It's just that this knowledge is actually about Cerberus, eh. Can't those ugly dog-shaped creatures just be ugly dog-shaped creatures quietly? They have to suddenly come out to make their presence felt.
"Okay." Zach responded, "Kill the Cerberus, Fallen, I remember it." This is not knowledge that needs to be understood, Zach just memorizes it, "That's good, what I'm worried about is that you use What special method was used to achieve the depravity? There may be consequences. I can’t help you when there are some Republican Avengers behind you. Just like my attitude at the beginning, Zagar is not me, and I don’t want to care about the Republic. Things in there." But killing Cerberus? Um, "Sounds like you have a clean behind."
The tumbling black didn't respond to Zach's words.
Zach thought for a moment, "Then let's make sure that returning to heaven is your goal, and I will try to help you go in this direction." Zach was about to start his own plan, "But can you turn back into angels? Sorry, I don’t have the ability to help you.”
"Humph, I didn't expect you to have either."
"Then we have a consensus." Zach smiled. Speaking of which, everyone should know one thing. In this story, there are no special smiles, especially those on Zach's face. They are just advanced expression control skills and have nothing to do with real emotions. "But you should also understand one thing. I can't just take you to heaven." Again, before the other party could say, 'Of course you can't, the key to the door of heaven is not in your body at all', Zach Looking around at the black surrounding him, "Jessica told me that you still have companions in the middle, tens of thousands of companions, not in Barton, not here, you need to wait."
Zach's meaning is very clear, everyone knows the way to get the devil into heaven, the key to the door of heaven. It's no longer in Toledo's body, now it's only in Gangelo's body. The method of use is Saint Sissi's "little tricks" that were buried in her surname. When this 'little trick' is lifted, the key to the door of heaven will disappear.
Coupled with the fact that Saint Sissy is not on the side of these 'angels' due to Zach's deliberate manipulation, in summary, there is only one chance. No one can be impatient until this opportunity is mature enough to satisfy everyone.
'Angel' agreed with Zach that they needed to wait.
"But there is no need for us to waste this time, right?" Zach smiled very persistently, "The federation's paradise has gone from disappearing to re-developing. During your absence from the federation, the federation has also experienced a lot. The federation's current paradise has also gone through a lot. I have experienced a lot." Zach deliberately paused for a long time, "Do you want to visit Newton? Do you want to see the angel Crowley who is now in charge of the Federation Paradise?"
"It's natural!" An 'angel' answered, "We should have gone to Newton a long time ago. If Jessica said she would be embarrassed when seeing Crowley, we would have..."
He was interrupted by his own people, "Stop talking." This was a rational statement, "We have been away from the Federation for too long, and many things are different from what we remember! Jessica wants us to slowly accept it! "
Immediately, the blackness that enveloped Grande returned to what Zach had first faced, a mess full of voices:
"Accept what?! Did our 'Father' give up on this world? Are vampires ruling the world now?! I can't accept it!"
"Vampires don't rule the world, demons do! Are you all blind in Barton these days?! Have we seen a soul that can go to heaven?!"
"Demon?! We have only been in Barton for a few days? Have you all forgotten the days when we were looking for mirror people in the central part? Huh, the demon definitely does not rule the central part. Who can tell me who is ruling..."
And Zach stood in the center of the noise, keeping smiling, not caring whether anyone listened to him, "Today is Sunday, the best time for you to visit Newton ~ But I still have to remind you again, when you are not here A lot has changed~ Jessica may be right~ you need to accept it slowly~"
"I have been waiting for a long time." Sibella appeared, "When will you soul-stealing thieves be finished? Or should I choose a time to come back."
The timing is great.
Zach walked towards Sibella and towards Roy, "Take them to Newton." His eyes indicated that Roy should understand what his mission was.
Roy nodded. His mission, as the Sabbat Zmich, was to control Newton Revro.
"Office?" Zach looked at Sibella.
"No, the backyard." Sibella looked at the fading black, "The place where my son Ryan should be, but obviously, he is no longer there. Can you answer me first, where did you take my son, vampire?" ?”
Sibella's opening was not kind either. (To be continued)
