Unlike the gorgeous palace above the clouds that many people imagine, heaven is a complete world. Just like hell, it is also divided into many parts, including the familiar New Jerusalem and the Garden of Eden.
The place where the angels are located is called the Holy City. The Holy City has twelve gates, and angels are depicted on each gate. The city wall has twelve foundations, with the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb on them.
Entering through the gate on the east side, you can see the curtained house and the chosen believers who come and go. They engage in the same twelve occupations here as on earth.
After passing through the residential area, you can see an extremely clear river of life flowing through the city, as bright as crystal, with shining light reflected on the river surface. There are green trees planted on both sides of the river bank, and every month the trees will bear fruit.
Twelve kinds of fruits, the green leaves are the most precious elixir in the world, capable of healing all nations.
Going upstream along the river of life, you come to the sacred palace composed of three buildings. The halls of this palace are endless. Only holy angels can walk by its throne and come to the end of the river.
A garden full of green grass and flowers.
The garden is also infinite. It is the shelter of angels. The angels who have returned from guarding duties lie on the grass by the river to sleep, or lean under the trees and preen each other's feathers. The chirping newborns prefer to grow up.
Groups of people went fishing in the Garden of Eden.
There are no common flower pavilions or tables and chairs in the garden. The angels walk barefoot and sit on the ground. However, in the center of the garden there is an octagonal curtain built by the archangels. The archangels often gather here to talk.
Taking care of trivial matters at work.
Michael and Lucifer were sitting in the middle of the curtain drinking water from the fountain of life from crystal goblets. Michael sighed and said, "Of course I know you came back just to piss off Gabriel, but you have to have someone."
In the long run, is it possible that we will go back to hell again?"
"I've long been fed up with hell. If it hadn't been for Mai Zi's dissuasion, I would have sealed off hell and driven out all the devils."
Michael shook his head, as if he was helpless at Lucifer's willfulness, but he continued: "I have told Raphael to bring back those newborn angels who fell into hell under Gabriel's order.
Let them bathe in the holy spring again and be baptized in the holy light, hoping that they can return to purity."
"I thought you would judge them directly."
"That's unfair. They were just deceived by Gabriel. Moreover, every angel is born with the blessing of the Lord. If he falls so easily, how can I protect the dignity of heaven?"
"Rigid." Lucifer commented after taking a sip of spring water, but did not refute. He wiped his mouth and said, "Mai Zi's injury is not healed yet. I won't be able to stay in heaven for long. I will leave soon."
Michael frowned with some dissatisfaction. He didn't know whether it was against him and the female devil, or because he was dissatisfied that Lucifer had just returned and left his post without permission.
"The Archangel's responsibility is to guard the Holy City. You can't leave for too long, otherwise..."
As soon as Michael said this, another young angel came over, saluted to Michael, and said: "Your Majesty Michael, Your Majesty Raphael said that all the newborn angels have arrived.
, he is checking one by one for signs of depravity, and asked if you would like to go over and take a look."
"I won't go." Michael glanced at Lucifer, the implication being that I was going to watch another guy here who was even more careless than the newborn angel.
After the young angel left, not long after, Raphael's figure flashed outside the hedge. He was leading a group of young angels to the palace, obviously going to the source of the holy spring to reflect it with the spring water.
Their souls, check whether they are pure.
Michael didn't pay attention at all and continued to say: "Gabriel got into a lot of trouble this time. New angels born in the past thousand years have to be inspected. Some of them have misbehaved for a long time, had quarrels with brothers and sisters, or...
Anyone who sneaks into the human world and causes trouble must be dealt with together to prevent this from happening again..."
"By the way, Lucifer, if you can contact the devil over there in hell, ask them if they know which angel has contacted them. Their information must be accurate... Lucifer? Lucifer?! You
What's wrong?"
I saw Lucifer staring at the fence on the gate of the bush, his expression very stiff, as if he had seen a ghost. He opened his mouth a few times, and then said in a daze: "No, it's nothing. I may have been too stressed recently.
I’m hallucinating.”
Michael immediately frowned. His character was more serious and serious, and he rarely joked. Seeing that Lucifer's expression was not fake, he asked: "Are you okay?...Okay, if you stay here,
It puts you under a lot of pressure, and I won’t force you to leave, but you should know that you cannot have any deep relationship with the devil, that is unclean..."
Lucifer suddenly stood up. He directly grabbed Michael's arm and pulled him out of the hedge.
Michael was dragged to his feet by him for some unknown reason. As he walked out, Michael asked: "Where are you going? Have you forgotten the way out of heaven? Then just find another angel.
Just lead the way for you, I still have to go back to the Garden of Eden..."
"Shut up!... I mean, I think the fall of the newborn angel is quite serious. We have to go see the baptism ceremony in person, and we can't rely on Raphael, the sleepy guy."
Lucifer turned around and showed a stiff smile to Michael. Michael frowned, looked at Lucifer with a puzzled and slightly disgusted look and said, "When did you become so brave?"
Do you have a sense of responsibility? When God said there would be new angels born from the holy spring, didn't you still want to drain the water to prevent them from bothering you? "
"That's all in the past." Lucifer curled his lips and said, "Have you forgotten that when the first batch of newborns just arrived, you were annoyed by them losing hair every day?"
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the church where the ceremony was performed. The holy spring flowing out from the holy elephant was the most holy baptismal spring. The newborn angels walked out of the spring, and the blessed spring water gave them all kinds of wonderful blessings.
quality.
The vast majority of new-born angels are very simple. To put it bluntly, they are a bit stupid. They are not as omniscient and omnipotent as the archangels created by God, and they rarely leave heaven, a place where everyone is very simple, so they
Since the birth of the newborn angels, they have been deceived, abducted, and polluted.
The best way to detect whether newborn angels are contaminated is to lead them to the source of the holy spring where they were born. If the water of the holy spring can reflect their shadow, they are still pure. If not, they may have fallen.
When Lucifer rushed in dragging Michael, the ceremony was already halfway through. The newborn angels who had passed the test gathered in small groups to discuss recent events. Lucifer could hear them talking about him, but
He didn't have time to care.
Lucifer's eyes turned to the figure at the end of the team that had not yet been tested. When his eyes focused on that face, Lucifer completely turned into a sculpture, and then cracked on the spot.
All kinds of angels crowded together next to the holy spring, and the feathers on their wings fell to the ground due to crowding and friction. Most of them had dark hair. There were only a few like Lucifer who had brilliant blond hair. Most of them were brown and black.
Brown, there are also some red-haired angels.
Different from human rumors, angels' eyes do not have so many fancy colors, and they do not glow. Most of them are the aqua color described in the Bible, which is white with a bit of gray, and some are close to gold.
Yellow and even reddish brown.
Then one pair of blue eyes stands out, and what stands out even more is his handsome appearance, which is not only not inferior to a group of angels, but also slightly better.
What made Lucifer split on the spot was the name represented by the familiar facial features on this handsome face - Bruce Wayne.
It’s hard for you to tell that this is Batman, because it’s completely different from the dark and even gloomy temperament of the Batman known to all the archangels. This Bruce is a bit too holy, and the holy light surging in his soul is newer than anyone present.
All the angels are stronger together.
Michael was a little curious about what happened to Lucifer, so he followed his gaze and looked over, then he noticed the second cracked sculpture in the church.
Raphael stood in the center of the holy spring. His dazzling red hair was braided and tied behind his head. He looked like all the workers in the world who stay up late and work overtime to deal with the mess of their colleagues. His eyebrows were lowered, his expression was sleepy and mechanical.
Repeat what you are doing.
"Next!" Raphael shouted.
The angel in front of Bruce walked over, saluted Raphael, walked to the front of the holy spring and lowered his head. The moment his shadow was reflected on the water of the holy spring, he breathed a sigh of relief.
, folded his wings and walked towards the other side.
When Bruce walked over there, Raphael didn't even look at his face, but just waved his hand to tell him to hurry up, so Bruce walked in front of the holy spring.
Just when he lowered his head to look at the water, there were two whooshing sounds, and the two most famous archangels in heaven grabbed his arms one on the left and the other on the right.
Lucifer on the left gritted his teeth and said, "Bruce! What are you doing? Is this where you should come?"
"How could there be a Batman here?!" Michael's voice was more horrified than him: "How could Batman go to heaven?! Who did this? Is the angel who attracted you crazy?!!!"
Bruce reached out and grabbed Lucifer's wrist and pulled it down hard. Then he moved his arms to get rid of Michael. He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you see for yourselves how I got here? Get out of the way, don't
Prevent me from performing the ritual."
After saying that, he was about to walk forward to look at the surface of the holy spring. Lucifer grabbed him. He was stunned for a moment and then opened his eyes wide. He looked at Michael opposite and said, "It's Gabriel..."
Gabriel gave him his wings!"
"God! Look at the good things you have done!" Michael quickly made a series of prayer gestures on his chest, and said angrily: "This is what you will get if you come back specially to make Gabriel angry! He even wants to explode.
Heaven! Think of a solution!"
Bruce frowned, then pulled Lucifer's arm away, and said rather dissatisfied: "Can't you wait until I finish the ritual to tell you anything?"
"Wait a moment." Lucifer quickly moved in front of Bruce, standing between him and the holy spring, spreading his wings to block Bruce's path.
Michael stopped Bruce in the same way, but he didn't know why, so he lowered his voice and asked Lucifer: "What's wrong? Why are you stopping him..."
"If you don't stop him, what will happen if a clown pops out of the holy spring?!"
Just as Michael was about to say it was impossible, he saw Batman across from him making a "cut" sound and curling his lips, as if the conspiracy had been revealed.
"Haven't you noticed yet? This Batman is different...he...he..." Lucifer choked for a long time, unable to find a suitable adjective, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
