Chapter 1495: Twilight Event (17)

"Gabriel cannot understand my special attitude towards Lucifer. He has never thought about the fundamental reason for this. All angels in heaven think that I like Lucifer because he is the most perfect and powerful angel."

God's voice echoed in the theater, and Schiller turned to look at him, his eyes just like asking "Isn't it?"

"There is a part of that reason, but I treat him as my son because he is indeed my son, and I am not his God, but his father."

"On the first day, he came into my arms with the first light, and I stayed with him from day to night; on the second day, I separated the sky, so I created wings for him, enabling him to fly freely in the sky; on the third day, I let all the water gather in one place, exposing the dry land, and I held his hand, letting his feet land, learning to run."

"When the stars of the fourth day began to twinkle, I thought of his name. He should have both the depth of night and the brightness of light, so I called him Morningstar, meaning the first star in the sky."

"On the fifth day, I created fish and birds, taught him to hunt birds with arrows and catch fish with spears, making him understand life and death; and on the sixth day, I created humans in my own image and built the Garden of Eden for them."

"From then on, whenever I walked in the Garden of Eden, he followed behind me, flying through the clouds, clumsily tripping over bushes, leaning on trees with me to watch the stars, and bringing me the prey he caught."

God's voice was full of nostalgia. He was silent for a long time before saying: "The purpose of my creating heaven was to manage my creations. The angels I created with this purpose didn't think they were my children, but only felt they were the guards of this world."

"Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel all think this way. Michael is especially serious. In the eyes of angels, their responsibilities are more important than their feelings for me and my feelings for them. They think the best way for them to express their feelings for me is to perfectly fulfill their duties."

God watched the figure of Gabriel fleeing in a panic on the screen and said, "You may not believe it, but Gabriel truly feels that starting a war for Lucifer is just, because Lucifer abandoned his duties; in Gabriel's view, this is a sign that Lucifer does not love me enough."

"He thinks I favor Lucifer, but Lucifer doesn't love me at all. This is the world's greatest sin, so no matter what means he uses to retaliate against Lucifer, it is reasonable. Even if I come forward, Gabriel won't stop."

"It is precisely the conflict between the sense of responsibility you gave them and their own feelings." Schiller also sighed and said: "When you created them, you gave them the expectation of completing their duties, so they did as you said. But the alternative among them—Lucifer, even if he doesn't complete his duties, he won't receive any punishment. He doesn't fulfill his responsibilities but is still favored by you. This makes others very confused, Gabriel especially."

"His soul and blood are telling him that you can get God's love by fulfilling your duties, but the fact is telling him that fulfilling your duties is useless, and all your love is given to a prodigal."

"Families with partial parents are mostly like this. What is terrible is not that parents set any standards, but the different attitudes of parents when two people reach or fail to reach the standards at the same time."

"When two people make mistakes at the same time, but parents only blame one of them, the confusion of the blamed person comes from the contradiction between facts and emotional feedback. Obviously, both were wrong and should get negative feedback, but one of them didn't."

"The lack of fairness will lead people to distrust standards. When hearing a goal, the instinctive reaction is not how to reach the goal, but what is the use of reaching it?"

"This is the fundamental reason why Gabriel is now self-abandoning and giving up moral standards. So what if he violates the bottom line? Anyway, even if he doesn't violate the bottom line, you won't like him. If he fulfills his duties like Michael, can you like him as much as you like Lucifer?"

"Even so, I still hope you can help him." God closed his eyes up and down and said: "I know that if I come forward to scold him now and let him return to heaven, this matter will be over, but he will come again next time, and it will definitely be more extreme each time."

"Even if I can stop him every time, I don't want him to be so confused and painful, but to be honest, I don't know how to change it either."

God raised his head slightly, leaned the back of his head against the back of the theater chair, and said: "I have a deep relationship with Lucifer because I accompanied him to grow up and spent many good times with him in the process of the world gradually perfecting."

"To go further, children are produced from the mother's body, and children are part of the mother's body and soul. They have natural emotional ties, but the bond between father and child is what I gave them. It is because I poured my emotions into it when I created the creations. All existing fatherly love in this world is produced from the feelings between me and Lucifer."

Schiller shook his head and said: "All injustice in the human world also comes from you. This point cannot be changed. You don't need to change, and humans don't need to."

"People in unfair families are both angry and painful, but the way to save them is not to try to let their parents change. The way to adjust this mentality is not to help them scold their parents. Perhaps this has a temporary venting effect, but it is of no benefit in the long run."

"It is to let them wake up themselves, stop seeking love from parents who don't love you at all, stop seeking a sense of existence from people who don't care whether you exist or not. They should find a sense of security elsewhere."

Schiller said with some emotion: "It is to let them understand that there is nothing more difficult in this world than seeking love from their partial parents. They have already tried such difficult things for so many years, and have already suffered mental torture for so long, what change is difficult and painful for them?"

God was silent for a long, long time. The picture on the screen flashed again and again. Gabriel exhausted his last bit of strength, barely dragging Constantine's remnant body to teleport away, and Cain also turned into blood mist to chase him. Bruce returned to the Forgotten Bookstore and came to the Forgotten Bar through the Forgotten Bookstore, finding Zatanna who was recuperating there.

"Is there any way to save him?"

When God asked this, he was already mentally prepared, prepared to pay the price with Gabriel and Lucifer, but Schiller seemed to have thought of something and said.

"I thought of a letter my friend wrote to me saying 'I hope you understand the earnestness of a father'—he is not a good father, but at least he did one thing right. He never gives any of his children unrealistic hope."

"He always refuses them, doesn't communicate with them, doesn't respond to their eager expectations, not because he doesn't love them, but because his path is destined to be lightless. He hopes his children won't have hope so they won't be disappointed."

"But he also knows this won't last long. He has failed many times, so when he saw the first ray of sunshine, he couldn't wait to send those birds to the sunshine, hoping they would have hope for others, not him."

Schiller sighed long, closed his eyes and said: "But he will always understand that the birds picking up sunshine in the bright river bay are ultimately to illuminate his dark cave."

God knew what he was talking about, but he only wanted to know how to deal with his two sons now. Before he could ask again, Schiller continued: "The plan is nearing completion, for both Lucifer and Gabriel. You have one last chance to go back on your word."

God's fingertips holding the armrest trembled, but he finally asked: "Will Lucifer really return to heaven?"

Hearing that God didn't mention Gabriel's name, Schiller had already determined the result, so he nodded and said: "He will, and the expelled Gabriel will also be desperate. Despair will make people sober, and he will eventually find his own value, but by then..."

Schiller shook his head and didn't continue speaking. He sat silently on the theater seat with God, continuing to watch the scene on the screen.

Bruce found the female bartender Andrea who was left behind in the Forgotten Bar and Zatanna who was a bit mentally confused.

Zatanna told Bruce intermittently what was going on, how she discovered Jonathan Crane's actions, how she angrily injured him, and how she discovered how he saved Cat Getan.

Bruce coughed hard twice again, blocked his mouth with his fist, looked into Zatanna's eyes and said: "Have you tried apologizing to him, and then saying thank you to him?"

Zatanna was stunned. She pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "But the matter in the Morsen block was his fault, how can I apologize to an evil murderer?"

"Then you can arrest him."

"But, but, he still needs to continue researching that kind of toxin, and needs to crack the secrets hidden in Cat Getan's buildings. He has the possibility of saving Cat Getan, I can't..."

"Then you stare at him doing research until the day he saves Cat Getan."

"But I injured him."

"Then you go apologize to him."

"But he is a murderer."

"Then you go arrest him."

"But he wants to save Cat Getan."

"Then you stare at him doing research."

The bartender Andrea next to her couldn't listen anymore. She slapped her forehead, spread her hands to Bruce and said: "Look, I said she was crazy! She has been like this for the past few days, our dialogue repeats every day, I really don't know what she is thinking."

And Zatanna sat on the bed with her arms around her legs as if she was sulking, putting her chin on her knees, turning the corners of her mouth down, looking very unhappy.

"Have you tried doing these things at the same time?"

Zatanna glanced at Bruce.

"You go apologize to him first, saying you shouldn't have hit him, then say thank you to him, thank him for saving Cat Getan, and finally arrest him, cast a spell on him to make him work, won't it be solved?"

Zatanna widened her eyes and stared at Bruce. After a long while, her mouth opened and closed, still asking: "Doesn't this look like a mental illness?"

"Isn't he a mental patient?"

"He... is he?"

"If he isn't, why would he live in Arkham Psychiatric Hospital?"

Zatanna was speechless. Bruce pressed her shoulder and said: "It's perfectly fine for you to perform a mental illness attack in front of a mental patient, because he is a mental patient, so even if he speaks ill of you, no one will believe it, they will only think he is talking crazy."

"Even if you cast a spell on him to make him work hard, people will only think he has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and this small punishment and the results that can be produced can be considered as comforting the souls of the Morsen block."

Zatanna was stunned on the spot for a long time, her brows wrinkled and relaxed, relaxed and wrinkled. After a long while, she licked her dry lips and said: "... seems to make some sense, then, then I'll go try?"

"Go, don't you have a teleportation portal? Casting a spell shouldn't be difficult for you."

Zatanna grabbed her magic wand, took a few deep breaths, and "whoosh" drilled into the teleportation portal.

In the laboratory of the patient activity center of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, looking at the teleportation portal that appeared in the center of the room as he expected, Jonathan raised his head proudly.

Looking at Zatanna rushing out of the teleportation portal, Jonathan's prepared rhetoric was already on his lips. He believed that Zatanna was now on the verge of collapse.

As a result, this naive and reckless girl held her magic wand with both hands nervously, pointing at Jonathan, closed her eyes and shouted.

"Sorry, thank you... 'Earth in the inverted faint'!" ***
