Behind the Gate of Hell, between the dead canyon and the beating curtain of light.
Merlin, Johnny and Constantine stood.
Kazan, Hus and Luther lay.
There was also a scum who had his wings removed and expelled from heaven crawling in the soil and wailing.
A white light fell from the sky, and the Archangel Gabriel stood in the curtain of light.
No one spoke, only the screaming, terror and despair echoed.
noisy.
Merlin waved his finger, and the burning skeleton knight walked forward with a grim smile.
He kicked the howling angel's cheek with a rough kick, turning his unpleasant scream into a painful whimper.
It seemed as if Gabriel hadn't seen this scene at all.
She did not stop the Ghost Rider from committing violence against the Star Angel Malachi.
The bastard who had an affair with Hell during the war, leaked intelligence, and deceived Shangguan deserved such treatment.
Hell and heaven have fought countless eternal battles, and there has never been a scandal that is as difficult to end as it is now.
What's worse is that this is enough to make the Lord's face dull and enough to make heaven lose face in countless dimensions, and now there is a tendency to spread.
Archangel Gabriel had no expression on his face.
She was thinking about how to eliminate the matter in front of her and let the situation be truly under control.
Merlin said Gabriel took advantage of him.
Actually not.
It was just an accident that he appeared in this incident.
But Raven is worthy of being a Raven. It took him only 2 hours to put everyone involved in this matter in front of Gabriel.
This also means that Merlin really grasped the handle.
"I didn't use you, Raven."
Gabriel put his hands in the suit's pockets, she gathered her wings and said to Merlin in front of her:
"I'm just paying attention to the progress of the pursuit of Kazan itself, and I'm also surprised by the fact that it was surprising that it was a shameful and shocking thing to accidentally dig out."
"I didn't expect you to be involved..."
The Archangel said to Merlin seriously:
"Put your unreasonable association."
"You are not a deliberate arrangement in heaven when you fall into this wasteland. Our Lord will not risk offending a new heavenly father to seal a soul that has no grudge against us."
"You came here after you died because you have nowhere to go, no place to accept you, and..."
"There is a problem with your own soul, it is incomplete."
The Archangel whispered:
"How can an incomplete soul that violates the rules of nature ascend to heaven or to hell? Being trapped in the illusion of life and death is the ending you should have..."
A smile appeared on the corner of Merlin's mouth.
But he did not interrupt the Archangel's explanation.
He staggered his fingers, and the beating magic outlined a seat behind him that was not luxurious.
He sat in it and looked at Gabriel.
It's like watching a clumsy clown perform.
Merlin's eyes made Gabriel extremely uncomfortable.
But she did not show any anger or resentment.
As the near-god who serves God and the most powerful commander in heaven, she has a much higher vision than a self-righteous idiot like Malachi.
Merlin was trapped in the wasteland and weakened, as if he was no longer as good as the Heavenly Father who had once been able to confront the God King Odin.
But he won't be trapped here all the time.
As someone who has crossed that boundary, it is easy to regain strength.
She might not need to be friends with Merlin.
But because of some trivial matters, being hostile to such a guy is undoubtedly a very stupid choice.
She could only try her best to explain it all.
"This is a coincidence."
The Archangel sighed and said:
"Believe it or not."
"It is all coincidence that you fall into this hell, you meet the Ghost Rider, cross the gates of hell, and participate in the entanglement between Malachi and his brothers, and the entanglement between heaven and hell."
"Or it is the power of fate."
Gabriel whispered:
"You will be hostile to the Maharajas in Hell after death. A dimensional invasion planned by Lucifer and his subordinates was destroyed by you. When the flames of chaos were just ignited, they were wiped out by you."
"You have protected your world again, even though you did not mean it."
"you..."
Merlin coughed, and he said:
"You talk about fate in front of me? Are you kidding me?"
He said:
"I can understand that maybe my fall here has nothing to do with you, but at this point in the process, you and the forces you represent still want to trap me here..."
Merlin looked up and looked at the Archangel and said:
"This probably isn't a coincidence?"
"My friends and I spent so much time and energy to dig up such a big borer for your paradise. I don't believe you can't imagine..."
He looked at the Star Angel who was being beaten by Johnny and sneered.
He said:
"He has been exchanging information with Kazan for a long time. It would be a joke to say that a Star Angel can dominate all this."
"Gabriel, something terrible is happening in the heaven you claim, the angels have begun to cooperate with the demons, and Malachi is just a victim who has been pushed out."
Merlin bounced his finger and said:
"As long as you dare to continue investigating, your paradise will usher in a terrible turmoil, but believe me, this is a good thing."
"You will become purer, you will be more united, and you will become unstoppable, and you will look down on the battlefield of fighting against hell."
"A loose sand of Hell can't stop you at all. Perhaps, after removing the cancer, you will be able to go further away from the victory of this eternal battle."
He stood up and strode to Gabriel's eyes.
He reached out his hand and placed it on Gabriel's cheek with extreme voluntary movement, his fingers moving, and he said in a gentle tone:
"All this, friend..."
"It's all the heaven that my friends and I bring to you and yours."
“Don’t we be rewarded for this?”
Gabriel looked at Merlin, feeling the cold fingers sliding on her cheeks.
She has never received such a presumptuous treatment in the past thousands of years, but she still has not shown too much emotion.
She looked at Merlin's eyes without any emotion, and she said:
"The problem is here, Raven... Merlin."
"I can't give you what you want."
"Stop kidding!"
Merlin said:
"This is made by your God, a cage, a cage used to hold prisoners. If you say he has no keys in his hand, then this lie is too clumsy."
"No..."
Gabriel took a step back and avoided Merlin's fingers that slid towards her neck.
She said in a deep voice:
"I can send you out of here now. It's very simple, Malachi can do it."
"But Merlin, you overlooked one thing."
The Archangel pointed to the gate of hell beside her, and she emphasized:
“This is hell!”
“Hell has its own will.”
"Even if I send you away from here, you still won't be free."
"Hell will always stubbornly get what belongs to it... Maybe it's in an afternoon dream, maybe it's in the middle of the night, you'll be brought back here quietly."
"Malachi made a promise to the Ghost Rider to deceive him. He had no right to forgive a soul in hell, nor did I have this power, even the omnipotent Lord..."
Gabriel shook his head and said to Merlin:
"Anges and demons represent heaven and hell, but Merlin, you should understand that heaven and hell exist much earlier than we did."
"To say something deeply sad, we, angels, we are just living in heaven, pretending we can control heaven, just as humans are just living on earth..."
She spread her hands and asked:
"Will the earth really belong to humans?"
"The relationship between demons and hell is the same. In the eternal time, countless hell kings claim that they truly control hell, but the only thing that remains unchanged from time to time is hell itself."
"Who of those lords who made crazy words really did what they claimed?"
"Merlin... Hell has its own will. It will accept endless new lords, but it does not mean it will surrender to them."
"You've fallen into it, you've already belonged to it."
Merlin's expression became gloomy.
Gabriel told the truth.
As an angel, she even admitted in person that their powerlessness in controlling heaven itself, and that their Lord was not omnipotent.
For a creature born on faith, this is almost a blasphemy of faith itself.
But it also proves that Gabriel is most likely not lying.
She really couldn't help with what Merlin wanted.
Behind Merlin, Johnny and Constantine's expressions also became silent and desperate.
They also heard the words of the Archangel, and although they still had doubts about whether the mysterious and mysterious thing of Hell Will really exist.
But if this is true, it means...
They may never be able to get out.
Merlin didn't say a word, and he turned around and looked at the closed door to hell.
Doors represent boundaries.
But there is nothing behind the door.
This is just an extension of hell, like a lawn used to vent air in a prison, but prisoners will not get real freedom just because they stay on the lawn.
It was just an illusion.
"This hell was established by my Lord, and it was once a place of exile to punish enemies captured in the war between heaven and hell."
"My Lord hopes that they seek salvation in pain, to escape from the shackles of sin, to say goodbye to the past, and to obtain pure rebirth in heaven."
Gabriel looked at Merlin's back and whispered:
"If you are willing to convert to my Lord... Merlin."
"Don't even think about it!"
Merlin said coldly:
"I have been free, no one, no matter what, no matter how I am!"
“This is the only way.”
Gabriel didn't want to irritate Merlin anymore, she whispered:
"You are already a ghost, and what you want to abandon is nothing more than the illusion of the past. Our Lord will give you all the most glorious things, as long as it is something that heaven can bring..."
"You can even get freedom there, freedom not bound by the war of eternity, and even my Lord will not bind a soul like you."
"The news that the Raven joins heaven will spread throughout the world. This news itself alone is enough to give heaven the advantage in the Eternal War..."
“We won’t ask you to do more.”
Gabriel's straightforward and generous recruitment made Constantine, who was standing aside, look straight.
Zhakang looked at Meilin and then at the Archangel.
If it were him, he would definitely not hesitate when faced with such solicitation.
Isn't it to do work for others?
The best thing is to wait for a price.
"You guys think very well, and the price is quite good, but unfortunately, I refuse."
Merlin shook her head.
Gabriel may not know that only one-third of him is in hell...
"Um?"
Merlin blinked.
At this moment, a very subtle idea appeared in his mind.
For more than seven months, he has been thinking about how to escape from this hell, but he has never thought about this problem from another perspective.
Maybe...
He doesn't need to escape from here at all?
Maybe...
The dice he threw out before his death, with a wonderful force, was not just to cover up the news that he was not dead yet?
here...
Already have a master.
But it does not mean that it cannot become a homeless land again.
That opportunity...isn't Merlin right in front of him?
"ah!"
Merlin sighed in annoyance.
He raised his hand and patted his head hard.
He was misled.
Misleaded by my past thoughts.
He should have thought of this long ago.
"I've actually wasted so much time."
He sighed in a complicated tone.
The next moment, he turned his head and looked at Gabriel with a burning look.
He walked towards the Archangel, and he whispered to the lady with a neutral appearance but a detached temperament:
"Since you and your Lord cannot give us freedom, then give us another reward."
"Um?"
Gabriel looked at Merlin and said:
"what would you like?"
"Swish"
Merlin pointed his finger at the gate of hell beside him, and he said:
"I want it!"
"That door?"
The Archangel said in surprise:
"That door was indeed forged by my Lord, but it has nothing except artistic and collectible value..."
"No!"
Merlin shook his head and said:
"I want this hell!"
"I want this land that traps me!"
"I want this wasteland that is attached to me and unwilling to let me leave."
He looked back at Gabriel whose face changed drastically, and a smile appeared on his lips, and he said:
"Go back to your paradise..."
"Tell you the omnipotent Lord..."
"The hell he built starts today..."
