Chapter 348: None of You Angels Are Reliable

~10 min read 1,914 words

Gabriel was taken aback, blinking her large eyes as she looked at Su Nian in confusion.

"Change my name? Why would I want to change my name?"

Su Nian gave a mysterious smile and pointed at the fried skewers behind Gabriel.

"Give me your fried skewers, and I'll tell you!"

Of course, it wasn't that Su Nian wanted to eat fried skewers; he simply enjoyed the process of tricking them out of a beautiful girl's hands. One must know that the most delicious food is always the kind in someone else's possession.

If Gabriel had been truly willing to give them up, the feeling would have been lost.

Gabriel's expression stiffened, and she shook her head violently.

"No, the Lord said that those who do not work shall not eat; you have to go buy them yourself."

So, after saying all that, your goal was actually just to target my snacks?

Even Gabriel was somewhat speechless, but seeing Su Nian's firm attitude, she eventually took a step back.

"On... only one."

Gabriel carefully handed the paper tube containing the fried skewers to Su Nian, staring at him intensely, terrified that he might accidentally take more.

Seeing Gabriel looking so pitiful, and hearing that thin, soft voice of hers, gave Su Nian a strong desire to bully her.

Thinking of this, Su Nian's mischievous streak flared up, and he snatched the entire paper tube away in one go.

"Thanks! I'll trade you with some octopus balls."

As he spoke, Su Nian handed over the leftover octopus balls he had been eating.

"Bad person! You liar, didn't we agree that you could only take one!"

Gabriel still looked at Su Nian angrily, biting into an octopus ball fiercely, as if she were biting Su Nian himself.

"Did I ever actually agree to that?"

Su Nian shrugged casually and took out a grilled sausage to eat happily.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's sit down and talk."

Su Nian smiled, pointed to a nearby outdoor dining table, and then had Liya place the snacks they had bought on the table so everyone could eat and chat together.

"By the way, are you Angels prepared for tomorrow's tripartite talks?"

Once seated, Su Nian asked curiously while eating.

Michael nodded.

"We are prepared. We have decided to fully support your plan."

"Hm??"

Su Nian was stunned, his chewing stopping for a moment.

"You aren't even going to be suspicious?"

Su Nian's mouth twitched; were they really letting the Angels join in based solely on a few words from Azazel?

To be honest, he had never had such smooth lobbying—no, this wasn't even lobbying.

He hadn't even made any empty promises; just by looking at a title, the Angels had decided to bet everything.

How long had it been since he had seen such a naive faction? Every other faction required him to use coercion or bribery before they would cooperate.

The Angels were being so cooperative that he didn't even know what to say.

To tell the truth, he had been prepared to use the resurrection of the God of the Bible as a bargaining chip.

"Thousands of years ago, God once discussed the Exe World with the Mother of God, but after God passed away, we lost contact with the Mother of God."

Michael said with a dejected expression.

"Oh?"

Su Nian was a bit surprised, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to be surprised about.

After all, he had guessed this long ago; it was just being confirmed by Michael now.

"That works too, it makes no difference anyway."

Su Nian paused and continued.

"However, you being this cooperative actually leaves me at a loss for words, so if you have any other requests, I can satisfy them all at once."

"Including the resurrection of the God of the Bible."

"Azazel might not have made it clear to you, but I intended to resurrect the God of the Bible from the start. After all, compared to the riff-raff of other factions, I would rather cooperate with the God of the Bible to fight against the Exe World."

Hearing this, the air instantly went silent, and the words Michael had just been about to use to refuse were stuck in her throat.

The price Su Nian offered was simply too high; it was impossible to refuse.

If they had known earlier that Su Nian intended to resurrect the God of the Bible, why would they have bothered talking about cooperation or tripartite talks? They could have just gone straight to Su Nian!

"Your Holiness, please tell us more about this. How will you resurrect God? The Angels will absolutely cooperate with your actions."

Michael said impatiently.

Do you know how much pressure maintaining the system—that massive entity—is for her?

She is just a pushover who doesn't know how to manage things; otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many Angels falling after God passed away.

The position of Vice-Ruler of Heaven is not an easy one to sit in; if she could, she would love to resign.

As for Gabriel, she also looked at Su Nian with full anticipation.

Su Nian rubbed his chin, sighed, and looked at Michael with a playful glint in his eyes.

"Are you sure you really want to know? Your God might not necessarily want you to know the method of her resurrection, you know."

Michael nodded, her expression resolute.

"The method to resurrect the God of the Bible is very simple: the Holy Spear, which contains the will of the God of the Bible, and the Holy Grail, which contains the life force and blood of the God of the Bible."

"You only need to bring these two Artifacts to the system in the Pure Fire Heaven to resurrect the God of the Bible."

And as it happens, both of these Artifacts had flowed out from the Church.

Speaking of this, Su Nian looked at Michael with a rather speechless expression and shook his head helplessly.

What a kind Angel she must be, to have allowed an Artifact containing the will of the God of the Bible, such as the Twilight Healing, to be lost to the outside world.

If you had spared no cost to fight for it, snatched the Holy Spear, and brought it to the Pure Fire Heaven, who knows, perhaps God would have been resurrected long ago.

So what if there is a lack of vitality? In this day and age, who doesn't have a way to replenish their vitality?

At worst, you could just eat more heavenly treasures and spend more money.

Stared at by Su Nian with such a gaze, Michael's tall figure gradually shrank.

Her expression gradually stiffened, and endless self-reproach surged into her heart.

So the method to resurrect God was actually this simple? So all of this was her problem, was it the problem of their Angels?

Was all of this because she was too honest?

Meanwhile, Gabriel on the side also looked a bit ruffled.

After all, the Holy Spear and the Holy Grail had existed in the Church in the past; one could even say they originally belonged to them, but were lost due to their inaction.

One could imagine what their reaction would be.

Su Nian sat quietly on the side, propping up his head, watching the unresponsive Michael and Gabriel.

After a long while, Gabriel, who had been blushing from being stared at by Su Nian, finally came back to her senses and looked at Su Nian with a trace of resentment.

"Heavenly Lord Son, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Deliberately revealing this information just to observe their reactions.

"Of course."

Su Nian nodded and admitted it without a shred of shame, and the current reactions of Michael and Gabriel brought him enough amusement.

However, Gabriel quickly regained her composure, but Michael on the side was about to drown in her own self-reproach.

"Besides, I think you should take care of Michael first."

Su Nian pointed at Michael, who could no longer lift her head, and sighed.

Honest people cannot handle being teased; she must be so self-reproachful right now that she wants to commit suicide, right?

Unexpectedly, however, the simple-minded Gabriel was the fastest to recover.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Gabriel blew on her smoking fist and said in a soft, gentle voice.

"Michael, how long are you going to stay depressed?"

On the other side, Michael's head had been shoved straight into the concrete floor by Gabriel, her legs pointing toward the sky.

Watching Gabriel gently question Michael, Su Nian's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

He truly had not expected that the seemingly soft and weak Gabriel would have such a nature?

He could only be glad that he hadn't teased Michael too excessively just now, otherwise, there was no guarantee he wouldn't enjoy similar treatment.

And this speed, plus this force? It could already be said to be approaching Five-Digit Exceptional, right?

Tsk tsk, he had thought the strongest in Heaven was that Vice-Ruler of Heaven Michael, but it turned out to be Gabriel.

No wonder Azazel said the Angels would send Gabriel out to serve as his bodyguard.

It's just that he needs to be careful when teasing in the future; it wouldn't be good if he teased too much.

"Have you sobered up?"

Su Nian watched as Michael pulled her head out of the ground, covered in dust, and sat back in her original position without a word, and he shook his head with a smile.

"Yes."

Michael nodded, though obvious self-reproach and guilt could still be seen on her face.

For an Angel, God is the meaning of their existence.

Yet, because of the Angels' mistake, God had been unable to revive for so long; it was a testament to her firm willpower that she hadn't fallen from grace and committed suicide on the spot.

After God passed away, the Angels had made countless preparations to revive God, only for the most critical part to go wrong.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. You Angels prepare yourselves. After the tripartite talks, I will take some time to go to Heaven and resurrect the God of the Bible."

Su Nian said after finishing the last of his snacks; having eaten his way through the street, he was barely half-full, but still satisfied.

He patted his stomach happily, stood up, and said lightly.

"The Holy Spear is already in my hands, so the difficulty of resurrecting the God of the Bible is not high. Of course, the specific results of the resurrection will depend on your sincerity."

Finding the Holy Grail or something is too much trouble; it would be better to just hand-craft a Holy Grail to replenish vitality himself.

Vitality is not exactly a precious thing to Su Nian.

Of course, if someone were to give it to him, he wouldn't refuse.

Gabriel lowered her head, only to find her line of sight blocked by an unknown massive object, completely unable to see her own toes.

"Sincerity?"

She seemed to think of the reason for Azazel's fall, as well as the suggestion Azazel made for her to become Su Nian's bodyguard.

Even as simple-minded as Gabriel was, she understood what Azazel meant.

She herself was the greatest sincerity.

"It seems I have no choice but to change my name."

Gabriel tapped her cherry lips lightly with her finger, seemingly having made up her mind.
