Chapter 1117
There wasn't even any eye contact, and they were a bit far away from each other. Lucifer also hadn't commanded them to die or something. He had merely glanced at them. He swept his eyes across the battlefield, and thousands dropped dead on the spot.
This was the power of the Chief Archangel. His will embedded in his cold indifferent gaze alone was strong enough to instantly kill those who were weak.
This was Lucifer's authority.
“What do you gain from defending those insects, Michael?” Lucifer asked. Then, he said in a voice still void of emotions, “Those insects are nothing more than Father’s failed creations. As His children, we have a duty to erase His failures from this world. Besides, weren’t they the ones who committed blasphemy and denied Father altogether?”
“Even if all of that is true... it has been a long time since then. Why commit this senseless massacre now? What is there to gain by seeking vengeance? What does vengeance against them bring us?” Michael asked in response.
Lucifer smirked and replied, “I’ve told you before, haven’t I? Father abandoned even His own children and vanished. But what if we, His children, wiped out His failed creations entirely? Would He still remain silent even then?”
“Listen to yourself, Lucifer! Are you committing this heinous crime just to meet Father again?!” Michael shouted in anger.
“Why not?” Lucifer replied, looking unbothered. Then, he shrugged and added, “They’re just pests that deserve to be exterminated. And those demons are no different, too. We, Father’s children, are merely cleaning up His mess in His stead. And when it’s done, who knows? Perhaps Father will finally show Himself again.”
“You’re mad!” Michael roared, no longer able to contain his fury.
Benevolence and compassion were innate traits of angels, a trait embedded into their very essence. They were creatures symbolizing goodness, far from the idea of committing massacres or any cruel acts.
As the last angel who still remained uncorrupted, it was only natural that Michael couldn’t align himself with Lucifer’s twisted ideology.
“You led our brothers and sisters to corruption yet you dare speak of our Father?!”
