"Stop talking nonsense, you know what I mean!"

Asmodeus died, drained dry by Russell, never understanding what had happened before his death, leaving in a very frustrating state!

Although Asmodeus is dead, the Crimson Purgatory still exists. Because the Character Card's validity period has not expired, it automatically kneels before Russell and worships him as its master.

A small world, very likely to be its own dimension. Russell longed to be licked by it for a lifetime, but he also knew the possibility was zero, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended not to see it.

As the Character Card expired, he took a step forward, leaving the Crimson Purgatory and returning to the mortal realm.

He looked up and almost bumped into a living person—a giant Van Helsing with golden eyes, Van Gabriel.

"Where is Asmodeus?"

"Let's go!"

"They've left?"

"Yes, he passed away peacefully, with a smile on his face..."

Russell sighed deeply, his voice hoarse, "As expected of the Demon King of Hell, his strength is unparalleled in my life. He dragged me into the Crimson Purgatory and I was nearly killed. That battle just now was earth-shattering, the sky collapsed, the earth caved in, the heavens and earth were overturned, the world was eternal, and the heavens and earth were forever... and then he died."

Noticing Gabriel's bad expression, Russell decisively cut out tens of thousands of words of the battle sequence, resulting in a poorly written ending.

Gabriel frowned slightly, stared at Russell for a long time, and then slowly said, "Don't lie to me, did you really kill Asmodeus?"

Russell rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Archangel, that's too hurtful. Do you really think I have no chance of winning at all?"

"Um!"

The answer was straightforward, without any hesitation or time for consideration.

"..."

The room fell silent instantly. Russell didn't bother to speak again; Gabriel was simply not the type to chat.

Perhaps realizing he had said something wrong, Gabriel paused for a moment before breaking the silence. "The Hell's Gate are closed, and Asmodeus has been killed by you. My mission on earth is complete, and I must leave soon."

"Uh-huh!"

Russell nodded repeatedly, realizing he had been too complacent. He coughed lightly and said sadly, "Archangel, you must return to Heaven to report. I won't keep you any longer. Remember to come visit often in the future."

Gabriel: "..."

Chatting with Russell was a real headache. Gabriel wasn't good at communicating, and his conversation was meant to thank Russell for helping him complete his mission, but now it seemed unnecessary.

The two nodded to each other as a farewell. Gabriel folded the wings on his back, and three seconds later slowly opened his eyes...

It was him again; he hadn't left!

"Archangel, what is it now?" Russell was ready to catch Van Helsing.

"I want to take the part of the power that belongs to me from you!" Gabriel said bluntly.

Russell stared wide-eyed without saying a word. Why should he return the Angel's Power that he had managed to withhold?

"Your thoughts are not..."

Gabriel thought for a moment. After all, he had fought alongside Russell and had some semblance of camaraderie. To be honest, it would be too hurtful. So he switched to his usual style, summoning the Sword of Judgment with a loose grip of his five fingers.

"Archangel?"

"..."

Gabriel didn't speak, but tightened his grip on the Sword of Judgment.

Russell was furious. He said that everything was negotiable, but he was quick to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement. Did he not know what it meant to raise prices on the spot and to bargain?

Gabriel was unreasonable, but Russell couldn't be unreasonable either, so he immediately put on a smile and said, "Archangel, you don't have much power left, and I'm not one to covet this little bit of power, but you should know..."

"What Asmodeus lost was only an avatar. He himself is living a carefree life in Hell. If he ever wants to settle this score, and you've already left for Heaven, he won't be able to find you and will definitely come to Earth to cause me trouble."

"In order to survive, I must retain this strength!"

Russell's words made perfect sense, Gabriel couldn't refute them. Demons are all petty and will surely seek revenge. If Gabriel forcibly took back his power, he might really kill Russell.

Gabriel remained silent, frowning as if lost in thought. Russell pressed his advantage. "Archangel, the remaining power is not much anyway. Even if you don't take it, it will eventually dissipate over time."

"You're right, I didn't think things through, but the Angel's Power doesn't belong to you and won't obey your commands, so there's no use for you keeping it..." Gabriel said, raising his hand to pat Russell's chest. "I'll leave you the catalyst for the power, and I'll take the rest. If Asmodeus appears, you can use this power to summon me."

After saying this, Gabriel closed his eyes, logged out of the login state, and returned his body to Van Helsing.

Russell reached out and grabbed Van Helsing, flapped his wings and landed, pondering the meaning of Gabriel's words while feeling the changes within his body.

The stigmata contains abundant Angel's Power, which belongs to Asmodeus. Gabriel did not take it, but Gabriel did leave behind a stable energy that can be used for summoning or... transforming into a Wings of Light.

Russell: "..."

Have you mastered flying skills?

Castle!

After a long day of fighting, everyone returned safely, exhausted, and rested in their respective rooms, except for two guys who were chattering away in the study.

Russell and Van Helsing!

Van Helsing remained an onlooker, physically exhausted but mentally exhilarated, having personally witnessed the battle between angels and demons, both of whom were extremely famous. He kept Russell on his toes, asking him all sorts of questions and refusing to let him leave.

Russell was simply bored. After studying Frankenstein's Monster, he realized he still had ten hours left before the end of his world tour, so he chatted with Van Helsing to relax.

"You said you're leaving?"

"Yes, to a very far place."

Russell cut the subject off immediately. "Don't ask where it is, it's very far away, the kind you can't come back from. Just think of it as heaven or hell."

Just as Van Helsing was about to ask something else, a voice suddenly interrupted, "Sir, you said you were leaving?"

Russell turned around and saw Amelia. He said, "I'm sorry that I brought you to this world, but I have to leave first. If you want to go back, then find your own way! The passage back to that world is hidden in some corner of the world. With your abilities and patience, you will definitely be able to find it."

"No, this world is very good... Sir, I have come to see you about something very important."

Amelia frowned slightly and raised the Cross mark on the back of her hand. "I've noticed something's wrong with my body. The Dark Energy within me has been purified... It should be a good thing, but I'm not entirely sure. I'd like to ask you for advice."

Russell's lips twitched. He'd already said there were no shortcuts to heaven, yet this guy was still so persistent. He casually replied, "Is the situation serious?"

"It's very serious. It's like the curse has been broken. I've lost my hybrid nature, and I no longer need to consume blood. I can obtain energy from human food, and my fangs are also..."

Russell's expression changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly. "The situation is indeed a bit serious. Come with me, I'll give you a physical examination first."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

"No, how can scientific matters be considered troublesome!"

Van Helsing: "..."

Actually, I'm a scientist too!
