Chapter 177: You dare to approach me?

Chapter 177: You dare to approach me?

Riser sometimes wondered whether he was the protagonist as he had met many troubles the moment he decided to do something.

No, he felt like... fate was trying to stop him as it wished to make the existence of the "real" protagonist, or the one chosen by the creator, become a dazzling existence favored by everyone.

Meanwhile, as Riser wasn't that person, he could only let himself be beaten and became the stepping stone for the protagonist.

Nevertheless, Riser knew he needed to handle the situation in front of him.

"Why did you follow me?"

"Why can't I follow you?"

"......"

Riser looked at Gabriel, who looked at him naively and curiously. It seemed that she didn't have any wariness at what kind of dangerous beast he was and just followed him like it was normal.

While the peace of the three factions was inevitable, especially when the news about God's passing away should be heard by other pantheons, the peace hadn't been concluded.

Even if he did nothing, he believed that in every corner of this world, there should be many angels, devils, and fallen angels who fought each other.

Still, the fight should be mostly angels against devils and fallen angels, as the fallen angels had been conquered by him.

Even though Riser knew many of the fallen angels couldn't accept his rule, in front of overwhelming power, they could only cower to save their lives.

If they made Riser come once again, could they save their lives?

Even if they didn't care about their lives, what about the lives of their lovers, children, families, and comrades?

This had become a dilemma for them as they could only accept his rule, gaining peace, even if they might become his slaves, or fight, gaining freedom, but with the price of all of them might die.

In the end, facing such consequences, they could only become his slaves.

If there was something that made the fallen angels feel relief, it was all due to the fact that Riser really did nothing after that, and he didn't even come to the Grigori as if he had forgotten their existence.

While they felt complex, they really hoped for Riser to forget about them, and while they knew it might be hard, they hoped for him to conquer their comrades in heaven so they wouldn't feel miserable alone.

—or they hoped for Riser to be defeated or killed by Sirzech, but such a chance, was it even possible?

After all, Riser couldn't die.

"If you are worried that I might do something, then you don't need to. My purpose in coming to Italy is due to curiosity about the side of heaven and the church since we are about to have a meeting. I have met the fallen angel, but I don't know much about the angels, so I decided to visit the Vatican and make a trip to Italy.

"Moreover, you are not my opponent, so you might as well leave so you won't be hurt."

This was the truth, as Riser didn't think Gabriel could be his opponent, and he was sure that Gabriel also understood this, but—

"Are you going to hurt me?" Gabriel asked.

"...no, if you are not provoking me. I don't like meaningless fights, after all."

As long as no one provoked him, Riser wouldn't do anything.

However, the world wouldn't work that way as they often attacked him with various things.

Nevertheless, her answer made him lose his rhythm as she was just too pure.

Still, Riser knew that someone like Gabriel was rare. No, she was like an endangered species.

However, it had nothing to do with him since he knew their interaction would end the moment he left Italy.

As he walked outside of the city, she also followed him quietly.

Then, when there were no people, he took out a Mercedes-Benz G-Class from his dimensional storage and rode on it.

Still, Gabriel fell silent and didn't do anything, only staring at him.

"What are you doing? Come in."

"...is that okay?"

"Aren't you going to follow me?"

His words were like a provocation, but Gabriel only smiled. "Thank you." She went to the passenger seat without hesitation, sitting by his side. She might be an angel, but that didn't mean she didn't know the development of technology from humans. Nevertheless, as an angel, she had never felt greedy, living frugally, so as long as she had enough, then she was okay so the thought of using a car had never crossed her mind.

In other words, Riser took Gabriel's first time.

"It's my first time."

"Is that so?"

"Please be gentle, okay?"

"No."

"....." Gabriel.

By then, two people, an angel, and a devil, started their trip around Italy, but suddenly Gabriel told him to stop.

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong?"

Riser was confused, but then he saw Gabriel walk out of the car and approach an old lady from a distance.

"Are you okay? Let me help you."

"Ah, I am sorry, young lady."

The old lady was touched by Gabriel's kindness.

"Are you going somewhere?"

"I am planning to go home..."

As the two talked to each other, Riser decided to ignore them, but—

"Riser, can you help too?"

With a gentle smile on her face, Gabriel asked him gently.

"....." Riser.
