(It was a bit longer than the other chapters. You could skip it if you did not want to read it.)
God Realm. (Of course, not the God Realm of Douluo Continent.)
"Little Gabri, have you heard?"
Raphael spoke to a blonde girl with snow-white wings, who stood about five foot one.
"What is it, Sister Raphael?" Gabri said with a smile, as if her whole face was glowing.
Raphael, who also had snow-white wings, thought, Damn it, why is she so cute?
"Little Gabri, you really don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Little Gabri, it seems an angel from our Angel Academy became a Fallen Angel!" Raphael looked at Gabri with a grave expression.
"Who? Who became a Fallen Angel?"
"I'm not too sure. They say the Six-Winged Archangel Council covered it up."
"Sister Raphael, you actually believe rumors like that? No wonder all those male angels call you the Anti-Dazed-Cute Angel. Sigh... looks like they do have a point."
"Wait, Little Gabri, what does Anti-Dazed-Cute mean?"
As they spoke, Gabri and Raphael arrived at the academy.
The angel guarding the gate also had snow-white wings, though they were still slightly inferior to Gabri and Raphael's.
"Lady Gabri, Lady Raphael, you're early again today." The gatekeeper greeted Gabri and Raphael before continuing to guard the entrance.
After Gabri and Raphael left, another angel asked the one who had greeted Gabri, "Who were they?"
People who asked questions like that were either idiots or newcomers. Clearly, this gatekeeper belonged to the latter group.
The angel who had greeted Gabri replied, "You must never be disrespectful to those two in the future."
"Why?"
"Of course because of their identities!"
"Their identities?"
"Both their families are top-tier angels!"
"What?! Both are top-tier angels?!"
"That's right. And you saw it just now, didn't you? Their wings were so flawless and perfect!"
"But don't they only have one pair of wings?"
"Can't you look at their school uniforms?!"
"School uniforms? Ah, they were both wearing first-year uniforms! Their talent is terrifying!"
"That's right. Not only is their talent terrifying, but they've grown such flawless wings while only in their first year!"
Meanwhile—
"Lucifer, hurry up and kill this demon!" Gabriel shouted.
Gabriel was Gabri's older sister, as well as one of the youngest angels in the God Realm to possess flawless Six-Winged Wings.
"I've already done my best, but this demon is just too strong!" Lucifer said.
Lucifer was a male angel and, like Gabriel, one of the youngest angels in the God Realm with flawless Six-Winged Wings.
"Lafayette, hurry and use Judgment!" Lucifer called to Lafayette.
"Fine, but you two need to hold him off a little longer!" Lafayette said.
Lafayette was Raphael's older sister and also one of the youngest angels in the God Realm with flawless Six-Winged Wings.
The three of them were known as the most outstanding angels in the God Realm!
"Die, Assael!" Gabriel and Lucifer said at the same time. Yet just as they were about to strike Assael, he revealed an evil smile. "Since you delivered yourselves to me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
With that, Lucifer and Gabriel's wings vanished!
"What?!" Gabriel and Lucifer cried out together.
Lafayette said, "Lucifer, Gabriel, I'm ready! Start attacking."
"Angel Skill! Judgment!"
In an instant, more than a hundred million complex magic arrays glowing with golden light appeared across a radius of one hundred thousand kilometers.
Golden light shot out from them at the same time!
A closer look revealed that the light was actually swords. They were simply too fast to see clearly; all that could be seen were streaks of light piercing into Assael's body before explosions immediately erupted!
"Huff, huff, huff... This time, huff, there's no way you can survive! We won!"
"Hehehe, you still underestimated me! How could an attack like that possibly hurt me?!"
"What?! Why?!"
When the smoke cleared, Assael appeared. Flawless Twelve-Winged Wings protected him from both front and back.
"This... why? How is this possible?! We obviously could have killed you just now!" Lafayette roared weakly.
Then Lafayette seemed to realize something. "Lucifer, Gabriel, let's go. We're all Six-Winged Angels. As long as we ask the Punishment Council, then we'll definitely..." At that moment, Lafayette saw the two of them.
They were kneeling on the ground in despair, their eyes utterly devoid of light.
Lafayette looked at the wings beside Assael. "Could it be..."
Taking advantage of Assael's inattention, Lafayette rushed to their side and activated the arbitrary teleportation spell that every member of her family could only use once in their lifetime!
Lafayette teleported herself, Lucifer, and Gabriel to the place where she sensed the strongest holy power.
After the teleportation, Gabriel fainted.
After using a grand spell that normally required a hundred Six-Winged Angels to activate, then using teleportation as well, Lafayette should have had no strength left at all.
After Lafayette teleported away—
"Tch, they got away! Whatever, the mission is basically complete. Let's go. This place really makes me uncomfortable. Still, they really were stupid enough not to notice that male angel was in my hands."
After Assael spoke, he vanished from some unknown corner of the God Realm.
While Gabriel was still lost in despair, Lucifer vanished after receiving holy power close to divine power.
Gabriel completely ignored all of it.
{Sigh, honestly... I never expected things to develop like this. The situation is getting serious.} An arrogant voice said.
{Heal.} The moment that voice spoke those words, all of Lafayette's wounds healed, including her internal injuries.
After that, the arrogant voice ignored everything else.
Meanwhile—
"Little Gabri, what did you mean just now when you said the male angels called me Anti-Dazed-Cute?"
"Oh, that? Anti-Dazed-Cute means they think you have a cute contrast, while also being adorably ditzy, so they call you that."
"..."
Raphael fell silent for a while, seemingly pondering something. Then she slammed a hand on the desk. "Those damned male angels, don't they have anything better to do?!"
"I think so too."
Bzzzz~ Bzzzz~
A special vibrating sound wave that only angels could hear rang out. They both knew it was the class bell.
The angels who had been chatting all returned to their seats. Then an angel entered through the classroom door to teach them. It was none other than Athena.
"Students, this lesson will discuss war and how to end war."
"Students, do you know the harms and benefits of war?"
One little angel, clearly puzzled, said, "Teacher, how could war possibly have benefits?"
Athena said, "War does have benefits, but only people unrelated to the war gain them. For example, weapons dealers and people who take the chance to loot and rob others."
"The harm caused by war outweighs its benefits, so students, if you ever gain control of a world, please make war less frequent."
"Teacher, why should we make war less frequent rather than make it disappear completely?"
"That is an excellent question. What is your name?"
"Reporting, Teacher, my name is Raphael."
"Oh, so you're from the Fa family."
"I'll answer your question now. Although war does more harm than good, it also has to make people understand that the weak will be bullied. Only then can it drive the development of the world."
"But don't think that makes war a good thing! Let me tell you about the harms of war. There are far too many, so I'll explain them one by one. First, war destroys people's homes. Second, people will have nothing to eat."
"What is the problem with that?" Gabri asked.
Do not think Gabri's question was stupid, because angels did not need to eat. Of course, angels did not have homes either, because every adult angel possessed a world of their own.
"Gabri, that is an excellent question. Then imagine human food as Holy Light. What would happen if you went thirty years without receiving Holy Light?"
"Teacher, I would obviously die. Even young angels know that."
"So, if humans go three days without food or water, they will die!"
"What?! Humans are really fragile." The entire class began discussing it among themselves.
Meanwhile, Assael brought Lucifer to a world overflowing with magic power.
"Lucifer, do you envy angels who are tens of thousands of times stronger than you?"
Lucifer's body trembled when he heard Assael's words.
Assael naturally noticed Lucifer's tremor.
Assael sneered inwardly.
"Lucifer, do you want to possess an S-rank world right now?"
When Assael saw that Lucifer had not reacted, he realized that Lucifer did not know why angels wanted worlds, so he continued.
"Lucifer, it seems you don't understand the value of a world."
"If an angel possesses a world, they can become the god of that world! They can completely control every kind of power within it. And the higher the world's rank, the stronger the power an angel can use!"
"Furthermore, worlds are divided into sixteen ranks: F, E, D, B, A, AA, AA+, S, SS, SSS+, UR, UR+, MB, MB+, SP, and SP+. The highest rank possesses the combined power of all other worlds, plus the power of the SP+ world itself! In fact, our world is merely a small world within an SP+ world. Naturally, it has a controller."
Lucifer was not stupid. He quickly understood the meaning behind those words.
Assael's lips curled slightly. "This world originally belonged to me, but because I touched upon the laws of the world and gained the ability to travel through space, this world is no longer useful to me. So I'll give it to you."
After saying that, Assael disappeared from Lucifer's sight and appeared within a crack in space.
After Assael left, six wings grew from Lucifer's back! But this time, those Six-Winged Wings were not pure white. They were pitch-black wings, as dark as the abyss!
Seventy-seven years later, Lucifer had become a Demon King known to everyone.
Gabriel still remained in that place. If Gabriel left the place where Holy Light close to divine power gathered, she would immediately become a Fallen Angel.
Of course, Lafayette had already been placed under house arrest by her family for seventy-seven years.
Gabri and Raphael had both become Four-Winged Angels!
Naturally, because their talent was simply too high, each of them already possessed a world of her own.
However, Gabri's world was the very world where Lucifer resided.
Because of Lucifer, Gabri's world was filled with criminals, war, and chaos everywhere!
Raphael's world, on the other hand, was merely an A-rank world where demons and humans lived peacefully together.
Raphael's strength had suddenly surpassed that of her older sister Lafayette.
Gabri sat in her seat, propping up her face as she sighed.
"Sigh."
"What's wrong?"
Naturally, it was none other than Raphael who asked that question.
"Fa, my sister hasn't returned home for seventy-seven years. What exactly were they doing? Your sister hasn't come back either, right?"
"Sigh! Little Gabri, your sister really hasn't returned home?"
"Of course it's true. Why would I lie to you? Besides, angels are not allowed to lie in the Heavenly Realm unless they have already lost their qualifications as angels."
"Mm, well... I'll tell you this. My sister returned seventy-seven years ago today. I thought your sister had also returned home and been placed under house arrest."
"What does that have to do with my sister?"
"Hey, Little Gabri, didn't your sister tell you anything at all? My sister, your sister, and Michael's older brother Lucifer went to subjugate a demon together. But for some reason, none of the three appeared even once over those seventy-seven years. I know my sister was placed under house arrest by our family, but I don't know anything else, because the family explicitly forbade any angel from finding any information about this matter!"
At that moment, Michael heard them and came over to Gabri and Raphael.
"Your sister returned home seventy-seven years ago?"
"Huh?"
"Were you asking me?"
"Who else would I be asking?! My older brother also hasn't returned home even once in seventy-seven years."
"Your older brother is?"
"Didn't you just say it yourself?! My older brother is Lucifer!"
"Huh? Huh?! I remember Lucifer only having one younger brother?!"
"Oh, that? My brother made it up. Because he's a sister complex, he didn't want other boys getting close to me, so he said that."
"Mm... So your brother hasn't returned either?"
"That's right. So I want to know what happened. Your sister, my brother, and her sister went to subjugate a demon, yet only your sister returned in the end!"
"Then after school, let's go to my house and ask my sister what happened. Of course, that might be difficult, because I haven't seen my sister in seventy-seven years either."
