We Just Met; Isn't That a Bit Inappropriate?

Chapter 125

Upon seeing the sword, Ren knew what was going on.

Emotions were yet another thing that came to bribe him.

However, Ren was kind-hearted, and unlike the original storyline, the Heaven had specially sent Gabriel to see him this time.

It was obvious that they had inquired about his preferences beforehand.

If it were Michael, Ren would obviously not be easily swayed by external things; now that it's Gabriel, one can only say that the Heaven have a very accurate eye for people.

Upon seeing Gabriel retrieve the holy sword from the void, Xenovia and Irina Shidou's eyes widened slightly.

Although this sword is not the Excalibur, it is still one of the holy swords that is second only to the Excalibur and is on par with Durandal.

"This sword is called Ascalon, and its original owner was Saint George, as is known to the public. Although it cannot compare to the Excalibur in terms of special abilities, nor to Durandal in terms of destructive power, it is a holy sword specifically designed to deal with dragons."

"If the enemy is a dragon, perhaps there is no holy sword stronger than Ascalon."

"This is a gift from our Heaven to you."

"Since you're already here, why bring a gift? That's too formal."

As he spoke, Ren took the Ascalon from Gabriel, checked it with the system panel to confirm it was genuine, and then tossed it into his storage space.

"..."

Gabriel raised an eyebrow at Ren's series of fluid and skillful maneuvers, but continued to wear a friendly smile.

"I'm glad you like it."

After saying that, she turned to Xenovia and Irina Shidou and said, "I have some things I'd like to discuss with Mr. Ren privately. Would you two please wait outside for a moment?"

When the seraph spoke, the two women readily agreed, closing the door behind them as they left.

With no one around, Gabriel's expression was grave. "Regarding this meeting, Michael and the rest of the Seraphim saw it as a good opportunity for the three major powers to shake hands and make peace. I know you may be surprised, after all, whether in the Bible or in popular perception, our Heaven and the Fallen Angels and Demons are mortal enemies, but... that's all in the past."

At this point, Gabriel paused, his expression becoming extremely serious, and said, "Although you are not one of our believers, every species living on this earth is closely related to what I am about to say, so please do not be afraid."

"I'm a professional, I'm not afraid."

Seeing the unwavering gaze fixed on his chest through Ren's sunglasses, Gabriel sighed softly and said, "In fact, our Heaven, the God, perished in the last great war."

After saying this, Gabriel closed his eyes.

Even though a thousand years have passed since this event, Gabriel's eyes still fill with tears whenever he thinks of it.

All angels were created by God. To them, God is not only God, but also their Heavenly Father and their Mother.

In the Bible, God is described as an immortal, omniscient, and omnipotent being.

Even such a god died from overwork during the war.

Initially, upon learning this news, Gabriel, Michael, and the other seraphim were completely unable to believe it, and even nearly suffered a mental breakdown. Fortunately, Michael reacted the fastest. After calming the emotions of the other seraphim, he quickly sealed off all communication channels to prevent the news of God's death from reaching the ears of the other ordinary angels.

After all, even ordinary angels are extremely devout in their faith in God.

If the news of God's death were to leak out, a mental breakdown would be the least of my worries.

Suicide, falling from grace, and other dire consequences are absolutely beyond the capacity of Michael and other Seraphim to bear.

Fortunately, God doesn't often appear in public, and apart from the seraphim, no ordinary angel in the entire Heaven has ever seen God's true face.

That's how Gabriel and her team were able to keep the news safe.

However, they were also worried that the Fallen Angels and the Underworld might leak the information and deliberately attack the Heaven.

However, it is clear that both Azazel and Sirzechs were very farsighted.

Although if they were to actively spread the news, it would inevitably cause chaos in the Heaven, and even lead to their collapse, the collapse of the Heaven would also inevitably affect the power of the Underworld and the Fallen Angels.

After all, the three major forces have always been in a tripartite balance of power, and the loss of any one of them would cause the relatively stable situation to collapse.

Moreover, they must be wary of external forces profiting from this.

No one knows how radical the Christianity was when it expanded. If other powers knew that God was dead, they might settle old scores and new grudges together.

At that time, even the three major powers may be completely wiped out.

Therefore, even though the three major powers had just ceased hostilities and their relationship was still tense, they tacitly refrained from leaking any information.

Gabriel opened his eyes, expecting to see Ren's shocked face.

However, Ren remained unmoved, his gaze unwavering.

Gabriel's emotions, which had been building up, suddenly froze.

Even if you're not a believer, shouldn't you be shocked to hear that God is dead?

It's a bit much to show absolutely no reaction.

Gabriel, of course, had no objection to Ren's reaction, and simply continued, "We in the Heaven have chosen to entrust this sword to you, and we have also given the Fallen Angels and the Underworld a gift of equal stature."

At this point, Gabriel's meaning is quite clear.

It simply places Ren on the same level as Azazel and the Demon King of the Underworld.

This is undoubtedly a very high level of treatment.

Even if Ren is all alone.

At this point, Gabriel suddenly moved closer to Ren, his two large thunderbolts vibrating as he sincerely grasped Ren's hand.

"Gabriel, we've only just met, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Ren was somewhat surprised.

And because he was so shocked, his eyes were wide open.

"In the past, the three major forces cooperated once when they defeated the White Dragon and the Red Dragon, so we hope that we can cooperate again in the future, and that's why we are placing our hopes on you."

If it were those two girls outside, or anyone else, they might have been completely Gabriel by Gabriel's sincere and moving speech.

After all, whether it's true or false, the Church has always been very adept at this kind of thing.

Ren didn't know if Gabriel was speaking from the bottom of his heart or just trying to manipulate him as a believer, but either way, he couldn't help but admire Gabriel's genuine innocence. The light emanating from him seemed to have the power to purify one's soul, so in order to purify his own heart, Ren chose to stare at Gabriel without blinking.

Chapter 126 Do you think I'm blind?

Chapter 126

Ren's meeting with Gabriel ended quickly.

Gabriel is, after all, a Seraph, and with the meeting tomorrow, there are many things to prepare.

Ren' trip wasn't entirely fruitless; besides getting a free holy sword, he also had close contact with the Heaven's greatest lightning bolt.

When they left the church to go home, Xenovia and Irina Shidou Gabriel.

Since they were to attend the meeting as guards, Ren didn't say anything and drove home.

"Didn't Miss Xenovia and Miss Irina come back together?"

Asia was curious when she saw that Ren had returned alone.

"Yes, they were summoned by Gabriel for another mission."

After all, the current situation is completely different from the original plot.

In reality, Ren only changed one thing.

That is, Kokabiel was not given a chance to utter the message that "God is dead".

One event changed Xenovia's fate, preventing Rias from successfully stealing the chicken.

"Gabriel... Gabriel?!"

Asia was initially a little confused, but after understanding the name Ren mentioned, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Could it be..."

"Yes, it's Seraphim Gabriel, one of the four Seraphim."

Ren nodded.

In reality, there are not only four seraphim in the Heaven, but the four seraphim led by Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael are the ones with the most special status.

Others Ren I remember include Metatron, Sandalphon, and Raziel.

In fact, it's not hard to see from the number of Seraphim that the Heaven Realm is indeed the strongest of the three forces.

The Seraph's strength is roughly equivalent to that of a Demon Lord.

If we also consider the time when the God of the Bible was alive, it would undoubtedly be the world's number one power.

After all, even a seraphim of that caliber would be considered a chief god in many pantheons.

"... It really is Lord Gabriel!? If that's the case, does that mean Master will also appear in Kuoh Town?"

Upon hearing this, Ren thought to himself that the grass on the grave of the God of the Bible was already several feet tall. If she were still alive, there would be no need for the three forces to negotiate.

The Underworld doesn't even have the right to negotiate with the Fallen Angels.

After all, Ren remembered that war was initiated by the God of the Bible.

However, it wasn't for any reason of "fighting and having fun." Rather, after sealing away the Beast of Revelation, the God of the Bible, knowing his own time was running out, decided to directly destroy the Fallen Angels and the Underworld that could influence the Heaven and humanity.

A true embodiment of the legendary lover.

However, unexpectedly, the late emperor passed away before completing his great undertaking, leaving behind a lonely end.

"God's word is unlikely to appear; only the Seraphim will attend this meeting."

Ren decided to keep the news of God's death a secret for the time being.

Given Asia's fragile heart, he felt he would faint on the spot upon finding out.

"Would you like to see a Seraph in person? I can show you around after the meeting starts."

"Huh? Is... is that alright? No, but it's better not to. I'm sure I'll embarrass myself, and that would be too much trouble for Mr. Ren."

Asia hesitated for several seconds before waving her hands repeatedly.

Seeing this, Ren didn't press the matter.

"I'll get you an autographed photo of Gabriel after that."

Asia nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Seeing that the two had finished their conversation, Kuroka waddled over and jumped into Asia's arms, asking, "Can I attend the meeting tomorrow night too, meow? Because Shirone is there too, meow."

"First, ask the Koneko if you can go, then come and ask me."

"Okay, meow."

After saying that, Kuroka jumped out of Asia's arms, then slipped outside, circled the courtyard outside the house, and returned a few seconds later.

"My little sister agreed, meow. She said she wants to see her older sister tomorrow night, meow."

"..."

Ren remained silent.

Do you think I'm blind?

"Alright, Lavinia will come with me this time. Everyone else can stay here."

Lavinia was also involved in the Kokabiel incident, so there was nothing wrong with her attending the meeting.

The blonde girl nodded silently to Ren upon hearing this.

Anyway, she'll just listen to Ren.

Moreover, it is said that the White Dragon Emperor Vali is a man of Azazel, the governor of the Fallen Angels, so she might be able to meet him at the meeting.

Time flew by and it was the weekend.

This also coincides with the day of the meeting of the three major powers.

Before it was time to get up, Katerea used her scales to make a remote contact with Ren and conduct a brief review of the plan.
