[Lucifer] Fascinated by the Fallen

The ninth floor, Yuandongtian.

The branches and leaves of the forest are scattered and luxuriant, the vegetation is fragrant, and the greenery is overwhelming.

——This is the holy place of heaven, where the body of the tree of life grows, and where the angels were born at first.

This place bathed in eternal light will always be guarded by an angel. Without the permission of the vice-lord, angels below the rank of cherubs are not allowed to enter.

Michael stepped into this holy place for the first time.After becoming Seraph, there is no better place for him to learn about Angel's past.

God said that his blood flowed on the tree of life.

When the world was born, the power of gods was injected into the tree of life, so the world appears so spiritual.

The dead angels, as long as their souls are still intact, can be resurrected by the power of the branches of the tree of life in the heavens.

In the distance, the shadow of the huge and vast tree of life appeared in front of the eyes, and the long golden light spots danced with the wind like fireflies, and gradually dispersed.

Michael stretched out his hand to hold up a spot of light, watching it linger in the palm of his hand and then disappear with the wind.

He was going retrograde in the direction of the light dancing, but at an inadvertent moment, he suddenly stopped.

That ancient immortal tree is sacred and majestic.As if with the world.

Its canopy is illuminated by light, like a hazy flame, clustered in clusters.

Thousands of light spots overflow, dance and drift from its branches and leaves.

A person stands quietly under a tree, unreal as a phantom in the withered light.

He didn't dare to go any further, for he was afraid of disturbing this charming hallucination.

"A long time ago, we were born somewhere in this tree." The illusion suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness..." Michael watched the slender figure turn around slowly, and narrated the past in a flat manner.

"Flowers bloom and fall, a thousand years of reincarnation." Lucifer said: "But afterward, no angel was born here again."

Michael asked, "Why?"

"Why?" Lucifer's blue eyes flickered with doubt, but he said in an extremely calm tone: "I can't explain why, maybe the world has changed."

For some reason, Michael felt a little sad.

He remembered a long time ago, on the shore of Lake Jiasde, the day when flower petals fell like a rain.

The young him was lying among the fallen flowers, his limbs spread out in large characters, and blood was still flowing from his face.

He got into a fight with someone else.

and three angels older than him.

He never told others that before the war of light and darkness, he had someone who loved him, and he was always happy.

And his adoptive parents died in the war of light and darkness, their souls were broken, and they could no longer be resurrected.He was sent to church, and his life plummeted from then on.

"Your parents are cowards. They cowered in the war. They were killed by the demons only when they deserted. Hehe, they deserve it!" Several angels surrounded him, and their jeers echoed in his ears , Michael turned his head away, trying to expel their words from his mind.

"Ha, what are you afraid of?" An angel stretched out his hand and turned his head, and said with a half-smile, "Are we right?"

"They are not! They are not!" The young Michael had no way to defend himself, he could only deny it over and over again.He hated them and didn't understand why they laughed at him if they didn't enjoy enough luxury.

"Hehe," another gray-haired angel suddenly pushed him violently, pressed him against the tree trunk, and said mockingly, "Why do you argue?! Seeing how timid you are, you really look like their kind. "

The other two angels also laughed.

"Why are you bullying people like this!" Michael angrily tried to prop himself up from the tree trunk, but was pushed back vigorously.

"Tch, I'm just bullying you!" The angel showed an excited expression, and raised his voice: "I heard about you when you first came to Justed College. The descendants of cowards are still cowards. Bullying you can make us happy, and you can do it too." For this little value, what can you do to me?"

Michael's lips were trembling, tears were rolling in his eyes, he didn't like violence, he didn't know how to do it.

With a "slap", the gray-haired angel slapped his face, his head shook violently, his mind went blank for a moment, and then he felt a burning pain.

Michael pursed his lips and endured.

"It's really interesting." The gray-haired angel said to the other two: "He didn't even dare to fight back. He is just like his parents. You should try it too."

Michael couldn't bear it anymore, as if every word the angel said was touching his nerves, it was the first time he felt so angry, it was as if he was going to spew out a fire to burn them all clean.

The whirlwind suddenly arrived, and the flowers danced wildly.

"Ah, what is this!!" Seeing a circle of flames suddenly rise in the void, the three angels screamed: "You are so shameless that you can't beat you to use spiritual power!!"

"You have bullied too much, you are the ones who are shameless!" Michael clenched his fists tightly, and spit out a few words through his teeth angrily.

"You think you can do it, don't we?!" The angels' faces were pale, but they still refused to admit defeat because of the large number of people.

"This kid dares to resist us, let's go together!"

The flames rushed towards them mercilessly, and the three angels fought back with their spiritual power, but this force was obviously much stronger than they had imagined.The angels were powerless to fight, and they all showed expressions of horror, as they were about to be burned miserably.

A burst of warm holy light appeared out of thin air, and the flame suddenly became smaller and disappeared in the washing of the holy light.

Seeing the flame dissipate, the three angels were stunned.They gave each other a wink, and before they had time to see who saved them, they got up from the ground and flew away.

Michael was stunned for a while, then suddenly slumped and sat down on the ground.

It was also difficult for him to bear the strength just now.What is more difficult to bear is their words.

Residual flowers are all over the ground, and more are burning embers.

He spread his hands, can power redeem him?Why do you feel so empty?He heard himself sobbing.

He grabbed a bunch of fallen petals, threw them on his face angrily, and cried hoarsely.

He always thought that he was not afraid of loss or change, and that he could face everything alone.

But today he suddenly realized the horror of "lost", which made him unable to find the direction of the future.

A shadow suddenly slid down on his body, among the fallen flowers, tall and tall.

With tears in the corners of his eyes, he slowly raised his head, staring at the slender shadow in a daze.

"Self-fighting with spiritual power is forbidden between angels." A clear voice sounded from behind him: "If I don't stop you, then you will cause trouble."

"I know." Michael sobbed and said to the shadow, "I hate them."

"Hate can't solve the problem." Shadow asked, "What did the angels teach you in the church?"

"Forgive." Michael murmured, "But I can't do it. They bullied me, why can't I fight back?"

"Because of forgiveness." Shadow paused and said, "Of course strength can be used to protect yourself, but you have such a talent, if you let hatred blind your eyes, then you can only go astray."

"I don't want any talent, I just want a peaceful life, I just want to go back to the past!" He shook his head desperately, as if to get rid of the 'now'.

"Since you were born like this, it is your responsibility to use your power to protect what needs to be protected." Shadow sighed slightly, faintly.

"Don't tell me this, I don't want to hear these big truths, I can't bear these..."

"Then you also have to think about the people who once loved you. They must want to see you strong, and they hope you can face the future."

"I..." He felt extremely ashamed, the current self must have disappointed them.

Michael turned his head slowly, and what he saw was a piece of pure white diamond-studded clothes.

He was stunned, he had never seen such luxurious clothes.

Looking up slowly, he finally saw the face that he saw once and never forgot.

"You will do it. I am willing to believe in you." There was an indifferent smile on that face, but it was sincere.

The steadiness and trust that he had never felt before made him stare at him for a long time, his heart surging.

"You... are you the archangel?" He finally came back to his senses and asked blankly.

The blond hair fluttered in the wind, fluttering in the rain of red flowers, Lucifer nodded slightly.

"Tell me, please tell me, my parents weren't deserters, they weren't, were they?" Michael knelt in front of him, holding onto the hem of his clothes and pleading.

"Michael." Lucifer lowered his eyes and said, "If you want to know everything about them so much, then you can come to me on that day."

"How can I find you?" Michael asked eagerly.

"Come to Yuandongtian, or, come to Baiwu Forest to find me."

He froze.Although he has been living in Jerusalem, he also knows that only those who reach the rank of an angel can freely enter and exit the Yuandongtian, and everyone knows that the White Mist Forest is the private residence of Vice Lord Lucifer, and no one can enter without permission.

"You...you are..." Michael hadn't finished speaking, six brilliant rays of light slowly unfolded, and Lucifer had already spread his wings and was about to leave.

He had never seen such a beautiful and powerful six wings, and the light of those wings made him dare not look closely at them.Under the brilliance of his wings, he tried to open his eyes wide, and heard that beautiful voice for the last time: "I'll wait for you, Michael."

A ray of light shot into the cloud, and the archangel had disappeared before his eyes.

Fangfei is flicking, falling flowers are colorful, and the heart has fallen silently.

He looked at the void, stared at the direction Lucifer was leaving, and fell to the ground slumped.

The wind is moving and the clouds are lingering, and only his light is left in his world.

After a long, long time, he suddenly got up from the ground.

He's going to the prime mover.go find him!
