After Lucifer and Seraphim reconciled, they walked downstairs hand in hand, the air filled with a subtle sense of reconciliation and ease.
As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Chen Ping and Gabriel sitting opposite each other. Gabriel's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked both embarrassed and annoyed, while Chen Ping had a smug look on his face. Clearly, the scene was quite interesting.
Seraphim keenly sensed the subtle atmosphere. She blinked, looked at Gabriel curiously, and smiled, "Gabriel, what's wrong with you? Your face is as red as a ripe apple. Did Chen Ping bully you again?"
Upon hearing this, Gabriel's cheeks turned even redder, and she quickly waved her hands in denial: "No, that's not true, it was just an accident."
She didn't want to admit that she had lost the bet, especially about Chen Ping betting Lucifer against Seraphim. Wouldn't that make Seraphim laugh at her?
Seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh even harder. He deliberately leaned forward and pretended to be serious: "Hey, Gabriel, don't forget our bet. We agreed on a red outfit tonight, you can't go back on your word."
Gabriel glared at Chen Ping, her cheeks flushed crimson, and she gritted her teeth: "Fine, I admit it, but don't get too cocky!"
Lucifer was completely bewildered. He looked at Seraphim with a questioning gaze, while Seraphim had an expression that suggested he was enjoying the show.
He whispered quietly in Lucifer's ear: "It seems that Chen Ping lost the little bet with Gabriel. As for the details, haha, Gabriel is too shy to say."
Upon hearing this, Lucifer's eyes flashed with amusement. He looked at Chen Ping and Gabriel and deliberately said, "Oh, this is really interesting. It seems I've missed a good show."
However, Gabriel, you must honor your bet and not go back on your word, otherwise Chen Ping will become incredibly arrogant.
Gabriel blushed even more when she heard Lucifer say that. She glared at Lucifer as if complaining that he had brought up the most awkward thing: "Okay, okay, I'll take responsibility. You don't need to worry about it."
Seeing this, Seraphim roughly guessed what had happened. With a smile on her lips, she deliberately patted her chest exaggeratedly and said to Gabriel, "Oh, it's just a game. If you lose, you lose. Don't worry about it."
You can win it back next time. But speaking of which, the bet you made with Chen Ping, it wasn't......"
Gabriel quickly interrupted her, afraid that Seraphim might say something she shouldn't: "Oh, no, don't make wild guesses. Let's get back to our previous topic. Lucifer, what exactly did you talk about with the Lord of Heaven?"
Gabriel's topic successfully diverted everyone's attention; indeed, compared to jokes, this matter was more urgent!
......
The four sat on the sofa, looking ready for anything.
Seraphim was the first to speak. She blinked and said, "Do we really have to be so serious? It feels so awkward."
Lucifer immediately replied, "Not used to it? Seraphim, then so be it if you like it."
After saying that, he patted Seraphin's head, looking completely devoted.
Chen Ping and Gabrielle exchanged bewildered glances, then rolled their eyes in unison. This display of affection was truly unexpected.
Seeing the two of them getting all lovey-dovey, Gabriel said helplessly, "Alright! You two, there's more to this than just the two of you. If you want to be affectionate, go back and kiss all you want. We have serious business to attend to now."
Upon hearing this, Lucifer and Seraphim exchanged a knowing smile.
Lucifer coughed softly twice, then began to speak.
The reason the Lord of Heaven sought him out was to ask him to help find Gabriel and the Pool of Angels. The Pool of Angels was the most important. If he could find it, the Lord of Heaven would offer a generous reward. As for Gabriel, if she was willing to return, he could bring her back as well; if she was unwilling, he would forcibly take her back, and so on.
After hearing Lucifer's account, Gabriel and Seraphim both fell silent.
These words completely overturned their impression of the Lord of Heaven, and were even more profound than what they had discovered and knew.
Chen Ping couldn't help but frown. The Lord of Heaven was originally the hypothetical enemy of the Heart of the Divine Island, and now it was 100% certain.
Chen Ping broke the silence, speaking in a calm and serious tone: "It seems that we are facing not only the threat of the Lord of Heaven, but also a far-reaching scheme."
He wanted to use the Pool of Angels to consolidate Heaven's power, even at the cost of sacrificing the balance. Lucifer, what were your considerations when you agreed to his request?
Lucifer sighed, his expression complex: "I admit, I did have selfish motives at the time. On one hand, I wanted to tamper with the Pool of Angels, and on the other hand, I wanted Gabriel to become a fallen angel as well."
As for the operation being handled properly, it might even have allowed me to outmaneuver the Lord of Heaven, since at the time I didn't know Gabriel was Seraphim's sister.
Seraphim squeezed Gabriel's hand tightly and comforted her, "Gabriel, don't be afraid, we won't let anyone hurt you. Neither the Lord of Heaven nor Hell can succeed so easily."
Upon hearing this, Lucifer nodded and said, "Seraphim is right. Hell will not only not help, but will even cause trouble for Heaven. Anyway, we have always been enemies, and that has never changed."
Gabriel frowned, then said, "Lucifer, do you know the true power of the Lord of Heaven? Also, shouldn't He have been severely injured by the survival game consciousness? He shouldn't have recovered so quickly, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer immediately said, "When we met, He seemed to be fine, but I can tell you that the divine power of light within Him has become somewhat impure."
Although they are all divine powers of light, it's clear that many of them possess completely different auras, resembling more the power of angels! Hmm, it feels like He absorbed the power of other angels to replenish Himself?
Chen Ping's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "This sounds ominous. If the Lord of Heaven has really found a way to quickly restore his strength and absorb the divine power of angels, it means that he may have mastered some kind of power source that we do not know."
"Hmm, that explains it. She wants Gabriel back; maybe she wants to absorb Gabriel's divine power?"
"Furthermore, I have another guess, though I'm not sure. Hmm, by the way, Lucifer, you're on the same level as the Lord of Heaven. If you were severely injured by the survival game's consciousness, how long would it take you to recover?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer pondered for a moment and then said, "Since it's a severe injury, it's no small matter. And at our level, many medical artifacts are no longer useful, so the minimum is at least a thousand years."
