32. Human Debt

In the palace at the top of the Doomsday Volcano, the conversation between Merlin and parchment has entered its final stages.

He looked at the parchment, which contained the last advice left by the God of Dreams.

"The God you meet and talk to is different from all other gods, and his existence is very strange."

"I'll say it in a way that you can understand."

"Before the furnace of the universe was ignited, he was the will of this universe. He represented the power ceiling of every stage of the universe. He was completely different from the God you understand."

"The reason why he didn't appear before was because when the gambling game was going on, two single-uniform gambling dogs replaced the will of this universe and were messing around. After they withdrew their own power, he appeared without being suppressed."

"But there is no need to worry, powerful forces must be shackles."

"If he can destroy the entire hell alone, then he doesn't need the angels of heaven at all, and the Eternal War is even more of a joke. Don't approach him deliberately, and don't anger him at will."

"He won't be a trouble for you, in fact, he's happy to see what you're going to do next."

"That's all, Merlin."

“他们发现我的异常了,最少6个月之后再主动联系我!”

"Swish"

All the handwriting on the parchment disappeared, and even the parchment itself became dull.

Without the support of the will of the Dream God, it has become ordinary paper.

But Merlin was holding the most precious treasure and carefully stacked it up and put it in her close-fitting pocket.

If nothing unexpected happens, this ordinary piece of paper will probably be the most important collection for Merlin in the future.

A few minutes later, Merlin walked out of the Mechanical Palace.

He stood on the edge of the Doomsday Volcano and looked down. The magma lake, which had been filled with smoke, was no longer visible.

A huge, black, heavy steel shell was buckled into the crater of the Doomsday Volcano. Only in some excavated pipes can some magma flowing out.

This giant magma lake has been transformed into a new material treatment factory by the Mechanical God Cult.

The ore dug from all over hell was sent here, washing away impurities from the unique magma of the Doomsday Volcano and forging into the steel needed to make intelligent machinery. Just a few days ago, the Mechanical God Cult welcomed another skilled "forgeer".

In front of him, the soul of Grena, the forging master of the rebellious dwarf, was sent into a giant intelligent body in the form of a modified Horcrux.

He changed his appearance and became another mechanical sage of the Mechanical Divine Cult.

He is the forging workshop of Doomsday Volcano today.

The most important thing this rebellious soul is doing at the moment is to shape a new generation of organisms for the Mechanical Divine Cult.

A stronger shell, stronger power, more agile movements, better destructive power, and transplantation of magical abilities.

The last point is the top priority.

If the new generation of intelligent machines cannot master the power of magic, they will be trapped in the wasteland of Merlin.

We can't let every time the Intelligent Armor Legion attack, Merlin himself needs to open a portal to other regions for them, right?

However, this topic is a bit difficult. Relying on the research of Zatanna and Icarus, progress is very slow. Merlin has to do a lot of other things at present and has no energy to devote himself to such tedious research.

Therefore, Merlin plans to meet an old friend who has super talent in the integration of magic and technology.

But this matter is not in a hurry.

After Merlin was resurrected, all kinds of things came in chaos, and big and small matters were like work that could never be handled, but it also had to be divided into priorities.

After thwarting the plot of Maharaja Malduk trying to break the armistice and bringing a whole piece of hell into the control of the son of hell, Merlin finally had a rare rest time.

He wants to arrange his itinerary.

After that, he had to devote himself to more intense affairs, especially after the dream god solved his doubts, a sense of urgency was suppressed in Merlin's heart.

Time is endless!

3 days later, at midnight, Hell's Kitchen, St. Matthew's Church.

Although it has been a long time since the death of the loved Father Paul, there are still a constant stream of mourners who visit the church.

Currently, the host of St. Matthew's Church is Sister Maggie.

But if nothing unexpected happens, after a while, the Sisters of Divine Grace, headquartered in Europe, will send a new priest to preside over the church.

After all, in a legal sense, St. Matthew's Church is the property of the Sisters of Divine Grace.

It was almost midnight, the church gate was closed, and Sister Maggie had already rested. The huge and quaint church was empty.

But in the darkness, a shadow stepped into the church.

He held a bouquet of white flowers in his hand and bent down in front of the small stone tablet mourning Father Paul.

Merlin stood up, and he looked at the stone tablet as if he was looking at Father Paul who had passed away.

The old priest was his friend.

There is no entanglement of other factors, just pure friends. The two have known each other for more than ten years and have not shared many secrets. It really looks like a general friend.

"A gentleman's friendship is as light as water"

A strange oriental saying appeared in Meilin's mind.

According to Icarus, it was a strange memory that Merlin had been forgotten in the corner of his heart. When Merlin was alive before, he himself did not notice the existence of those memories.

Those memories are now open to him, but to no avail.

They become blurred and there is no more special feeling, just like Merlin in a movie belonging to another life.

No emotional fluctuations.

After all, two lives

"How is Paul doing well in your place?"

Merlin asked suddenly in the empty church.

A moment later, a gentle voice came:

"It's okay, he's in faith, and for him, that's probably the best ending."

A faint light emerged from the darkness.

But the one who appeared in the church was not the archangel Michael who was rescued by the sons of hell that day, but another archangel, Merlin's acquaintance, the Archangel Gabriel.

She stepped out of the light, wearing the black and white plaid suit she had when she first met, her short golden hair was tilted to the left, and her very neutral face made her look very chic and detached.

It's like a high-ranking urban woman with a cold aura that comes with her own.

"I heard that the soul entering heaven will become an angel, and to become an angel, you must enter the pool of reincarnation and be washed away from past memories. If I see Paul now, can he still recognize me?"

Merlin said without looking back:

"You guys, can't you even see the last time between old friends?"

"This is a good thing, Merlin."

Gabriel seemed to calm down from the anger of being humiliated by Merlin that day. In the invisible sight of mortals, she gathered her wide wings behind her, put her hands in her pockets, and walked towards Merlin.

She said in a gentle tone:

"In your current identity and what you are going to do, I don't think it's the right choice to let Paul meet you anymore."

"A star angel is too close to you and will only be swallowed by the darkness. I am not accusing you of being an evil person, but the power, such a thing, is really hard to say."

Merlin was silent, he did not refute Gabriel's statement.

The archangel walked to Meilin, and she waved her hand and added a bouquet of flowers. She placed the flower in front of the stone tablet and clapped her hands.

She said:

"Michael originally planned to come and thank you in person, after all, your subordinates saved him from the brink of death."

"Not a subordinate!"

Merlin corrected:

"It's brother."

"All right."

Gabriel shrugged, and she continued:

"Heaven owe you and your brothers a favor, a heavy favor."

"However, because the armistice agreement was destroyed, the two sides are still arguing. As the victim, Michael could not leave the empty meeting."

"He gave me the thanks, because I have met you several times. Speaking of it, are we friends? Merlin."

This question surprised Merlin's expression.

He turned around and looked at Gabriel, and he said:

"Are you crazy?"

"You are an archangel, I am a hell master. Do you think we are friends? Can we become friends?"

"Do you dare to accept my friendship? You are not afraid of being scolded by your fellow countrymen and thrown away from heaven, especially after the scandal was revealed."

"whispering sound."

The heroic Gabriel curled his lips disdainfully, and the archangel took a step back and sat in the seats in the first row of the church.

She raised her legs, spread her arms flat behind her seat, and placed a big shot in a sitting position.

She said:

"Who can blame me? Is Degil the bitch who gave up his perfect weapon and still has to hide it after the matter is exposed? Or Michael the naughty young man who only knows how to fight?"

The angel said frankly:

"I was bored in heaven after the slightly interesting Lucifer's rebellion. If you treat me as a friend, I am happy to accept drinking with the Lord of Hell, and I have not done it."

"Then I really underestimated you."

Merlin looked back at Gabriel who was indifferent and said:

"Women are all scrupulous, so we should rarely meet before your resentment towards me disappears."

"Men are all arrogant, so I don't want to see you again until your misunderstanding of me disappears."

Gabriel sarcastically said without any weakness.

A few seconds later, the archangel waved his hand and said:

"I have sent Michael's thanks. We will repay the favors of heaven when you need them, but I have a few small problems."

She stared at Merlin and said:

"The silver of Judah is there with you?"

"Um."

Merlin nodded calmly and said:

“I’m useful.”

"Then put it away."

Gabriel said:

"It is always better in your place than being lost by an incompetent mortal again. I don't want to meet another madman trying to kill the archangel next time. Michael scared me when he encountered that. Look at my wings, and it's still trembling."

As he spoke, the archangel actually spread his wings and let Merlin see the trembling feathers.

She said indifferently:

"But since Marduke is dead, this matter is over. The fall of a hell king is enough to block the mouths of those angry guys in heaven."

"Then the second thing, are you going to join the battle for Hell Kings?"

Gabriel looked at Merlin.

The latter still nodded.

"Yeah, very good."

A strange smile flashed across the Angel's face, and she said:

"I heard that you presided over a smooth handover of the throne in Marduke Hell? It's not bad, you dare to break the rules of hell. I'm very good at looking at you, Maharaja Merlin, maybe the next king of hell will be you."

"I accept your blessing."

Merlin put his hands behind him, and he looked at Gabriel in front of him, and he said:

"Is there anything else to ask?"

“That’s all for the time being.”

The Archangel said:

"But judging by your appearance, you have questions to ask me? Tell me, if it is not an important secret, I will answer truthfully."

"The first thing!"

Merlin raised a finger and said:

"You mainly help me comfort the giant beast, but I can't just rush into the sea of ​​light and dive into the deepest part to see it, right? That's to ask me to die."

"Oh, this."

Gabriel patted his head and said:

"There is a spell. As long as you recite it, you can establish a spiritual link with the giant beast. I should have given it to you last time, but my master, I forgot. I am old and I will always forget this and that."

She reached out and pinched a luster and handed the light to Merlin.

The latter is taken in hand.

He asked again:

"The second thing, I heard that there is an original holy object of the universe in heaven, the spear of destiny."

"What do you want to do?"

Gabriel's eyes immediately narrowed, and a hint of alertness appeared on her face, she said:

"I'll tell you, Merlin, although we owe you favors, you don't even think about the kind of things that can break the rules!"

"The same sentence!"

Merlin interrupted Gabriel, pointing to the sky, and he said:

"Go and ask your Lord, everything has a price, I believe that your Lord knows what I want it to do and I don't think he will reject me."

"The end is about the favor debt that heaven owes us."

Merlin shook his head and said with emotion:

"The human favor is really magical. Even the most despicable villain thinks it can't be replaced, but if the human favor debt is dragged down for a long time, it will easily turn into another thing, hate."

"So, because of the current mild relationship between us, I'll use it now."

Merlin looked down at Gabriel and said:

"I want something that is kept by the bitch you mentioned."

"Rand Kill?"

Gabriel was embarrassed and said:

"I guess, Ghost Rider?"

"right!"

Merlin nodded with satisfaction and said:

"However, Degil is responsible for managing all the Revenge Spirits. I believe that there must be a way for her to make the Revenge Spirits perfectly coexist with the Knights. I want that method!"

"She won't let it go so easily."

Gabriel said worriedly:

"That guy has a stubborn personality"

"That's what you need to consider."

Merlin looked up and looked at the closed church gate. He looked down at Gabriel and said:

"I just need that method, take it, and the debt of favor will be cancelled."

"Okay, I won't send you there. My friends are coming to talk to me, you can go back."

"Don't forget to ask me about the Spear of Destiny, and then put down your middle finger, friend, whether as a woman or a holy archangel, your behavior at this time."
