Chapter 2993

Among the distant clouds.

Isaac, who had been in a coma for an unknown amount of time, finally woke up from his deep sleep. As soon as he opened his eyes, he let out a cry of pain mixed with a low growl. After the fire was burning, he felt that his entire soul would be completely melted under the flames. Even though he had escaped from the sea of ​​flames right now, the hot and unbearable feeling still remained on his body, which hadn't dissipated for a long time.

The doomsday judgment brought down by the devil is enough to burn everything to ashes. Only a true hero can barely withstand the power of the doomsday fire and find a chance to survive from it. Saint Isaac also couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this encounter. If he hadn't become a hero by luck, waiting for his final fate, he would be no different from those people who were reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​fire, let alone save them. The girl who was also trapped in the flames.

Thinking of the girl named Irene, Isaac suddenly opened his eyes wide. He tried to stand up, but saw that the golden chains bound him tightly. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the chains. , and there was no girl around, but the sound of chains colliding, which attracted the attention of the golden figure not far away.

"Are you awake?" The angel in golden armor and six wings flapped his wings, and slowly flew to Isaac who was bound by chains.

Isaac raised his head numbly, only to see a seraph in a slim battle armor and holding a spiral sword blade staring at him with a scrutinizing face.

"Archangel...Gabriel." Looking at the seraph who was examining him, Isaac also recognized her identity, and planned to bend down to salute, but he had to give up because of the chains.

That majestic yet heroic seraph was one of the three archangels who ruled Cloudsdale. According to Isaac's previous status, it was difficult for him to be personally received by the archangel. The Archangel appeared in front of him, and he himself was bound by golden chains. While Isaac was dignified, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and didn't understand what was going on.

"Dear Archangel, please tell me, what happened? Why am I bound by chains?" Isaac's eyes widened and he couldn't help asking.

"Perhaps this question should be answered by you." Gabriel looked indifferently with a questioning look, "Saint Isaac, according to the oracle in the clouds, you should have returned to the clouds a few weeks ago Holy City, succeeding to the position of the Holy Angel, but you missed the appointment. When the angels found you again, you were in the Mingyue City that was burned by the fire of the doomsday, and you were still holding a girl from the city in your arms."

"Irene..." Hearing this, Isaac couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. His last memory is still on the choice of saving the two girls. Mentioning that name, Isaac hurriedly asked, "How is Irene now? Is she okay?"

"Are you still worrying about that girl? I think it's better to worry about yourself." Gabriel said calmly, without concealing his rebuke to Isaac, "Saint, do you know that you have broken your destiny?" The rules? Now you are no longer a righteous man who submits to fate and fights for the justice of the world, but a completely depraved and unforgivable rebel. According to the words of those mortals, you are now A hero."

Gabriel glared at him, and his heroic face became a little more angry, and he said: "You have violated the guidance of fate, I don't know why the Stigmata chose you to succeed the Holy Order, but I think he You must have misjudged, you who have broken your destiny are not qualified to obtain the authority of the Holy Judgment, and work with us, the Archangel."

Isaac lowered his head. As a saint, he became a rebellious hero who defied fate. That was undoubtedly a challenge to the order of the entire cloud city, and all this was exactly what the devil wanted. The Demon King didn't kill him, but what awaited him was a more painful experience than death. He had dishonored the name of a saint and made the former glory no longer, and that was why he was bound.

"I know that I made an unforgivable mistake on this trip, and if the stigmata intends to punish me for this, I will not have any complaints. The only thing I want to know is what is the situation of that girl? Have I ever saved her from the doomsday judgment? Merciful Archangel, please answer my doubts."

Isaac gritted his teeth and said without any excuse for what he did. The only thing he cared about was the situation of the girl.

Sensing the calmness and firmness in Isaac's words, even Gabriel couldn't help but look at him more. It is true that she was extremely dissatisfied with Isaac's disobedience and becoming a hero, and she didn't give him any favors during the conversation. She had a good face, but when she really felt his moving firmness and kindness from the bottom of her heart, her attitude seemed to have changed a little.

"You can rest assured. When the angels found the girl, she was in a coma due to being in a hot environment for a long time and not eating for many days. If it wasn't for this period, you used your strength to protect her With her last breath, she is likely to die here. With the help of the angel, she woke up earlier than you." Gabriel slowly told the situation, and at the end, she looked at the saint with the same eyes. Slightly different.

If the fire of doomsday burns for a few more days, even the saints will have no way to survive it, and the final fate must be burned to ashes by the flames. The saint in the sea of ​​fire didn't know when the doomsday fire would end, but he was willing to share his little power to protect a very weak human girl. The saint naturally understood the danger, but he still He did so without hesitation. Although Gabriel didn't have a good impression of Isaac, he was very impressed with that act of charity.

"Really..." Hearing this, the stone hanging in Isaac's heart finally fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was more relieved than any good news in the world when he heard that the girl had survived.

"Now it's time for you to answer my question." After a moment of silence, Gabriel finally said, "The flame that burned Mingyue City is not an ordinary fire of doomsday. As far as I know, there is only one person who can Release that level of Doomsday Judgment, what happened there? You'd better tell everything you know."

Aware of the meaning of interrogation in Gabriel's words, Isaac could only show a wry smile. Not long ago, he had just received an oracle, and he was about to become a powerful holy angel, and he would be with those archangels. The direction was beyond his expectations, and now he is no longer a glorious saint, but a sinner who broke his destiny.

"Just as I was about to return to the holy city in the clouds, the devil in hell captured me and asked me to do something for him. At that time, I didn't understand what his words meant, but from that moment on , I completely fell into his scheme..."

Isaac didn't mean to hide anything, and he fully told what happened before. Even though he is already a sinner who broke his fate, in his bones, he is still the saint with justice in his heart.

After listening to Isaac's narration, even the well-informed Archangel couldn't help being stunned at this moment. Apart from feeling Lucifer's sinister, he actually used this method to plunge mankind into complete self-destruction. , it is inevitable that there will be a little pity for Isaac in my heart.

If everything Isaac said is true, all this is not the saint's fault, he is just a victim of Lucifer, the real culprit who caused all this is the devil who despises all living beings and has sinister intentions . On the contrary, it was the actions of the saints during this process that made Gabriel nod secretly, wanting to maintain his kind nature and his insistence on justice under the coercion and bewitchment of the devil. Not an easy task.

At this point, Gabriel's expression towards the saint has also improved. Although due to his status, he has been stern in his speech, but the indifference and questioning have also been quietly resolved. Gabriel has always admired those righteous people.

"I already know the matter. It's not your fault. It's all caused by Lucifer. You don't have to blame yourself for it. In front of him, you have done everything you can."

Gabriel's words of relief, in exchange for the saint's bitter shaking of his head: "I can feel that Lucifer did nothing, he didn't use any of his own power, he just asked me to stop and watch with him, to see how human beings are. How it self-destructed. The cowardice enshrined in the soul and attached to the bones has prompted human beings to embark on the wrong path of no return. Perhaps, as he said, only heroes can completely abandon that cowardice... ..."

Although some time has passed since that special journey, Isaac's heart still seems to be trapped in Mingyue City, and he can't get out of it for a long time. Every time he thinks of the situation at that time, the saint feels a twinge in his heart. Pain, those situations when human beings self-destruct, as long as he closes his eyes, they will come to his mind again.

The will of a hero is like surging waves. In the face of imminent danger and an enemy that hurts to the marrow, the surging waves may be tens of hundreds of meters high, and even soar into the sky. The sky and the earth were engulfed, but when the crisis passed and the tide subsided completely, what remained in the hero's heart was only unspeakable sorrow.

Facing the devil's questioning, the saints can muster up the courage to answer loudly like a hero, but when the matter is over, the wave of heroic will will completely subside. Whenever I think of the situation at that time, the only thing left to the saints is secretly sad , he asked himself more than once if he did something wrong.

Hearing the saint's bitter whispers, Gabriel immediately became angry, and slapped the saint completely awake: "Listen to what you are saying now! Did you answer Lucifer with these words at that time? I I can forgive you for being a hero, but I can't tolerate you agreeing with his views. Are you also like him, thinking that human life is meaningless, and only heroes are qualified to live in this world?"

"I don't know..." The saint seemed stunned by a slap, and said in a trembling voice, "But I did see the self-destruction of human beings. I don't understand why things have developed to this point? If everything is fate If so, then what is the meaning of the lives of those self-destructing human beings?"

As if aware of the pain in the heart of the saint, Gabriel held up Isaac's square face, and solemnly explained to him:

"You saw those self-destructive human beings, didn't you? They used their actions to show you and everyone who could see their mistakes, and let the living people cherish all the hard-won things even more. It is the meaning of their existence here, and this is the meaning given to them by fate. Because of them, people will know what is right and what is wrong. Because of them, you will stand up in times of crisis and resist the will of the devil at all costs. , This is the greatest meaning of their existence... It's just that you crossed that line and became a hero, you are destined to be tolerated by fate."

Listening to the Archangel's explanation, Isaac's eyes became moist. When Gabriel showed a solemn expression, the beauty that healed people's hearts was no less than that of any woman in the world. From that angel, Isaac saw the shadow of his pious Andorran godmother in the past Well, if the godmother sees his current depravity, she will be very disappointed in him.

"I already know what happened. I will report everything about you to the stigmata in the clouds, and let him decide on your punishment. Before that, you can wait here with peace of mind."

Gabriel said calmly, seeing the saints bound by golden chains, unable to move their bodies, she was moved with compassion, and before leaving, she untied the chains that bound the saints, and asked at the same time: "Is there anything else I can do to help you?"

"I want to see Irene. Isn't she awake? Can you let her come to see me? I want to make sure she is safe." Hearing what Gabriel said, Isaac got up immediately and hurriedly made the only request.

Gabriel just shook his head, and looked at the saint's eyes with even more pity: "She woke up earlier than you, and she specifically explained to the angel that she didn't want to see you again. She said you violated her promise. Will, killed the person who should have survived."

"Really..." Isaac sat back on the ground and muttered.

The people he saved didn't thank him, instead they only complained and blamed, and they didn't even want to see him. But Isaac didn't blame Irene for this. Hearing the news of Irene's safety, he felt very sorry for him. Very satisfied, as long as he can uphold the justice in his heart, no matter what the result is, it is enough for him.

Gabriel took a deep look at him, and then waved his wings, turned into a golden streamer, and flew to the end of the sky, preparing to feed back all the information he got from the saints to the stigmata who ruled the clouds.
