episode_0061

A long time ago, a time when Lucifer was called the five archangels along with Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel.

Lucifer was always curious. The reason why only Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael are considered the ‘Three Great Archangels.’

Curiosity leads to dissatisfaction, and dissatisfaction grows into corruption.

This is the story before the fall.

The story of Lucifer’s angel days, when curiosity and dissatisfaction coexisted.

“Michael.”

“Why are you doing this, Lucifer.”

Lucifer with pure white wings speaks to Michael.

“I pride myself on knowing everything in the world, but.”

“… .”

“There are just two things I don’t know. Could you tell me the answer?”

“What are you curious about?”

“Lord and Chaos. Secrets of the world that only you three archangels can know.”

Sitting on a fluffy cloud and watching the setting sunset, Lucifer and Michael have a meaningful conversation.

The twilight illuminating the heavens illuminates their faces red.

“Michael, I heard that you and the three archangels have had encounters with the Lord.”

“Lord… .”

“But not me. So I was always curious. Who is the one who created me, whom I serve, and whom I serve? How did you come to be! Where are you so I can’t see you!”

“Lucifer, you still lack the ‘quality’. Since you are excellent, you will be able to realize the ‘truth’ in no time. Wait for that day.”

“In the end, Michael, are you saying there’s nothing you can tell me? Like Raphael and Gabriel?”

“… Have you already gone to those two? Lucifer, let me give you some advice. The day you qualify, the Lord will come to you directly. Don’t be greedy. When greed becomes strong, it becomes craving, and craving becomes blasphemy.”

Michael was adamant. Lucifer furrowed his brows slightly.

This is because I felt ignored. In fact, even though I clearly knew that Michael would never do that…

“Yeah, well, you are. Then can you tell me about Chaos?”

“Chaos, you mean.”

“Chaos. Literally translated: chaos. Nothing is known about Chaos. Even if I went to the heavenly library, which is said to have all the books in the world, I couldn’t find even a single book that studied chaos. Chaos is only mentioned a few times in Evans’ book, and that’s it.”

“Lucifer.”

“Why.”

“Stop thinking about chaos. It’s useless.”

“… .”

Papdeuk-.

It was always the same answer.

And, every time I hear the same answer.

Lucifer gradually built up anger in his heart.

Because he was arrogant.

Like the others, I don’t truly look up to and follow Michael.

Why don’t you know the truth, why can’t you stand shoulder to shoulder with the three archangels, and why can’t you stand next to the Lord at the top of the heavens?

“Ha, you are very handsome. We only know what we’re curious about. Angels who don’t know what the truth is are just left behind.”

It was a dissatisfied grumble.

A small grumble that could easily be overlooked.

However, this is a thought that an angel who must be absolutely virtuous should never utter.

“… Lucifer, say it again.”

“What?”

“Please repeat what you just said. That’s because I want to hear it again.”

“Ha! Michael, you’re great! Everyone, Raphael and Gabriel, including you! Very handsome! Except me!”

“Lucifer.”

“What? Five archangels? You’re talking bullshit! What kind of archangel are I or Uriel? I can’t even tell if it’s the truth or not!”

“Lucifer.”

“Ah- I also want to meet that wonderful and great Lord. Jinri: Why can’t I even get a feel for that guy? Is it not enough? There is no one more beautiful than me in the world, but am I not worthy?”

“Lucifer!”

Michael suddenly makes a loud noise. Lucifer, who had been talking frantically, finally realized his carelessness and closed his mouth.

“Lucifer.”

Calling out Lucifer’s name, Michael raised both hands. Michael cupped Lucifer’s cheeks and faced him.

Michael had his eyes closed. Lucifer had never seen Michael open his eyes. But for some reason, Lucifer now had the feeling that Michael was peering through his exterior and seeing his inner thoughts through his closed eyes.

It was a terrible feeling. It seemed as if his secrets were being revealed one by one. But I couldn’t move. This is because Michael’s ‘power’ pouring out through his entire body was so powerful.

“You have ‘evil’ in your heart.”

Michael soothes his mouth. The glow of the sunset falls on the right side of her face, which is facing Lucifer.

“I advise you. Forsake evil. If you cannot shake off the darkness in your heart, Lucifer, you will eventually lose your white wings.”

“… .”

Their conversation ended that day. Lucifer did not listen to Michael’s advice, and eventually became arrogant and lost his pure white wings.

Now that I have become a devil, I have no regrets about my days as an angel.

Lucifer sometimes reminisces.

If only I had heeded that advice back then.

What kind of life was he living by now? doing.

It was still like that now.

Thump-thud-thud-.

“Off… Off… .”

I desperately crawl on the floor trying to survive, but I look down at an angel who is slowly turning into ashes.

Looking down at an angel who was once in a similar position as himself, but chose a different path than himself.

Suddenly, the former angel became curious.

Like the angel before my eyes, it would have turned into stagnant, rotten pus and exploded miserably.

It was then.

fluttering-.

As many as nine pairs of gigantic wings were flapping, filling the vast sky of the Demon Forest.

*****

Cracking, crackling – my body is hot. I’m somehow crawling on the floor, but I don’t know how long I can hold on.

It’s scary.

It’s scary.

Stop it.

I am Archangel Uriel, I am not wood for you to burn.

Flame that burns evil, I am not sin.

I am… Sin… .

is not it-?

Confused mind, bitter pain, acrid pores.

There is one scene I remember clearly. It’s like a dazzling light. Is there any difference between angels and humans when it comes to reminiscing about the past before death?

Maybe she is.

The great angel who was my close friend may have foreshadowed this situation… … .

“Michael! What are you doing?”

bang-!

I kicked down the temple door, stomped away, and stood in front of an angel.

She is an angel whose flowing golden hair shines brightly in the sunlight.

Archangel Michael.

Unlike me, he is one of the original angels and one of the three great archangels.

“Why did I take back the power of clairvoyance that the Lord gave me!”

bang! And I slammed my palm down on the desk where Michael was working. Even though it is an unpleasant enough incident, Michael does not frown at all.

“That power is not suitable for you. Uriel.”

“Why do you judge that! It is the power given by the Lord!”

“Uriel, it’s because you couldn’t reach the ‘truth’.”

Unlike me, who was excited and arguing, Michael was calm. It was calm and quiet.

But it is not light. That’s the scary thing about Michael.

“Uriel, ‘destruction of evil’ is not necessarily a bad thing, but you are taking it too far. I judge that it may be dangerous for you to be given the power of clairvoyance.”

But this isn’t it, is it?

I got angry and argued with Michael.

“Have you forgotten that I was the one who informed Gabriel about Lucifer, who had been hiding on earth in the past!”

“I remember, Uriel. I am grateful for what happened then, and it is something that deserves praise for you. But still, clairvoyance is not suitable for you now.”

“Then please explain in detail! Destruction, condemnation! What on earth is wrong? The more you catch and kill evil things, the better!”

“-How come you don’t know.”

Michael closes his eyes. There must be golden eyes beyond, but Michael has never opened them before. Instead, only smooth eyelids occupy the space where the eyes would be.

“Condemnation means mercy and tolerance. Condemnation is the breaking of the circular cycle of sin. How come you don’t know?”

“The chain of sin can be broken even if you kill!”

“No, if you kill a wicked person, the descendants of that wicked person will hate you. Most of your descendants will not be able to take revenge on you, Uriel, but you will have to bear the grievances of millions. It is not a condemnation.”

“Then what are you saying? Compassion and tolerance? Do you think something so soft will work for evildoers? What kind of people are they!”

“As I said before, I am not saying that I am denying ‘extinction of evil.’ All I can say is to reduce the frequency. You are so overheated right now. When I think it’s okay, I’ll give my clairvoyance back.”

Michael.

Archangel of archangels.

He is called the ‘Three Great Archangels’ along with Raphael and Gabriel.

I am the one who holds the ‘truth’ that I could not reach.

Originally, I was supposed to obey Michael, but he was.

“I don’t understand! Michael!”

At that time, I was angry with Michael. There was no lack of jealousy.

Even though we are archangels, why are you the only ones?

“And if the ‘truth’ is so great, shouldn’t you just tell it to me orally!”

“Uriel, the truth is something you realize yourself. It doesn’t work just because someone else tells you. The advice I can give you is just… Let go of your excessive will, that’s all.”

“Ha… !”

“Understand, Uriel. Now you are going astray. It’s okay to stray for a moment, but if you delve too deeply into that wrong path, it may lead to irreversible results.”

“If the truth was that easy to realize, I would have done it a long time ago!”

I know that Michael is not an angel who will make a mistake.

She is the noblest of all angels and the Lord’s agent.

Michael is the one who looks down on all things at the end of wisdom. This applies to all three archangels, including her.

-Except me.

I burst into tears and felt an inferiority complex. I felt stuffy and frustrated and wanted to express my anger.

Angels are not perfect beings. They are just a little smarter, live a little longer, and are a little more powerful than humans.

The word “perfection” refers to the three archangels or the Lord.

“Uriel, do you know why I closed my eyes and stopped seeing the light of the world?”

“… I never told you.”

“This is to avoid identifying enemies. Since all beings are governed by emotions, rational judgment is almost impossible unless it is a machine. I am no exception.

So I closed my eyes. To make a judgment solely based on the situation, without distinguishing between friends and enemies. To avoid being cruel to enemies but generous to allies. If you’re going to be cruel, be cruel to everyone, and if you’re going to be generous, be generous to everyone.

Those who judge must do so. I measure the weight of the soul on a scale, so I close my eyes and feel only the weight. Uriel, if you are going to call yourself the Lord’s representative, I think it is right for you to do so too, even if only in your heart.”

“… .”

“I know it may sound like nonsense to you. However, you must keep in mind.”

Michael never tells lies.

“Uriel, I can make you destroy yourself with just a few words without using any power. This isn’t because I’m great, it’s because you’re going astray.”

Knowing that, I should have heeded her advice.

“There must have been no problems so far. Uriel, because the beings you punish are all lower level than you. But we must not forget. There are supreme beings in the world that you don’t know about. The moment you meet one of them, and the moment he whispers a few playful words to you, Uriel, you will experience self-destruction.”

Of course I couldn’t do that.

“I hope you realize the ‘truth’ for yourself as soon as possible, reflect on your past, and then stand by my side, Uriel. you are good There are probably few people in heaven as uprightly good as you. However, we are caught up in that goodness and cannot see our surroundings. Please take note of that. Bamboo is beautiful because it is straight, but bamboo standing alone is just barren.”

I did not understand what Michael was saying, and I was even more obsessed with destruction and condemnation. The pressure of having to realize an inconceivable truth and the humiliation of not being among the three archangels despite being one of the four archangels, whipped me harshly.

As a result, this is what happened.

Grumbling!

“Kyaaa!”

My wings have long been burned up in the flickering flames. The white robe that was draped over my body also turned into a heap of black ashes.

I am a moron.

He’s an idiot who can’t see the side.

He’s an idiot who couldn’t look back.

He is an idiot who only knows how to look ahead.

“Kiss… ah… eww… Ugh… .”

Lord.

Holy, Merciful, Exalted Lord.

Lord, you are merciless. Lord, I am resentful. Lord, you are merciless.

Why are you subjecting me to this ordeal?

How should I live now?

You were wrong.

You were wrong.

I have distorted and misunderstood Your will and committed blasphemy.

However, I never looked down on you. It’s all because of my foolish foolishness.

Now the wings are torn and the power is gone.

What should I do?

Should I be punished like this and disappear forever?

Is that really your will?

Flap-!

At that moment, eighteen pure white wings landed on my body.

When I raised my head in a daze, a face I thought I would never see again came into view.

“Mi… mi… Michael… ?”

“Uriel.”

*****

come.

The real guy I’ve been waiting for.

There are as many as three of them.

“Mine, not me! Michael, Raphael, Gabriel! I didn’t make Uriel like that! I am innocent!”

The devil, who is receiving the attention of the three archangels, waves his hands.

Desperate. This is not the appearance of a devil of arrogance.

Lucifer also knows this.

Those three don’t dare to do anything about it.

It’s funny. Lucifer, who despised the Lord whom those three served, is pleading with that Lord’s servants.

Well, that’s why it’s ‘arrogance’. Looking down on something you don’t dare look down on. The devil is not a devil for nothing. He’s a devil because he’s ugly.

“Look at the author! It’s chaos! That chaos over there! Chaos, which you kept in complete secrecy, made Uriel like that!”

My ancestors point at me. Anyway, I heard that our ancestors were mean because they resembled me. Look at how they want to survive so they tell their descendants. Although it was expected.

“Uriel… How on earth did you end up like this? ”

A boy who looks infinitely gentle and has a soft face that would make even the most wounded person in the world feel at ease, sits down in front of Uriel, who is lying face down on the floor.

Archangel Saint Raphael ‘healing sick travelers’.

“… I see That’s what happened in the end. It’s a sad thing. Uriel, you were an angel of unparalleled uprightness… .”

An angel with gray wings mutters next to Uriel with a bitter face. He is famous for having announced the birth of the Messiah to the Virgin Mary in the past.

Archangel Saint Gabriel, ‘the strongest of all’.

“Lord, please have mercy on me. No matter how much time passes, we all remain foolish. Even if you make a mistake, you are warmly embraced and generously embraced. Wasn’t that your teaching?”

The angel with his eyes closed gracefully covers Uriel’s burning hand with both hands. The angel places it on his forehead and then recites a prayer with great enthusiasm.

Saint Michael the Archangel, ‘closest to the Lord’.

It is a combination that, if a member of the Holy Church had seen it, would have died a holy death while foaming at the mouth. Unfortunately, Beatrice, the only Holy Kingdom believer present, has fainted.

The flame that burns Uriel gradually fades. Raphael infuses divine power to heal the irreparable wounds on Uriel’s body. Wings that have already been torn off cannot be healed.

“I know, Lucifer. I saw it all with clairvoyance.”

Michael’s closed eyes turn to me. Her neat face stares at me.

I’m a little nervous. Even though those three are different from Uriel or Lucifer, this is because they are very different.

These are people who have realized the truth like me and the saint. My crude words cannot destroy the noble castle they have built. Even if I die and wake up, I can’t make a single scratch on them right now.

You were watching with clairvoyance? I already knew. Rather, I aimed for that.

Uriel is an archangel. Uriel and Lucifer were jealous of the three archangels, but they are not. Even if we exclude Lucifer, who has already completely fallen, there is probably no one who loves Uriel as much as Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael.

Killing Uriel like that? This is ridiculous. Unless you want to be torn in half by angels.

So I didn’t kill Uriel. I just made a little threat. Because I knew those three would come running soon anyway.

This is also the reason why the Simma was planted on Uriel. Heart demon? A fire-entry demon? I don’t remember the exact name. This is what the Grand Duke of the Eastern Demon World told me in his past life, but it’s a shame because it happened in his past life.

“Grrr… Kkkk! Kkkk!”

“What is it, Aru? Why are you barking?”

“The energy is so big! Young demon, hide behind me! Kkkk!”

“What, are you trying to protect me now? When confronting Uriel earlier, the guy was digging his ears from behind.”

“Because I trusted the young demon! Kkkk! But they can’t! No matter how great the young demons are, they can’t do it! Run away! I’ll take my time!”

Wow, are you sure you want to die instead of me? To protect me?

“Kkkk! hurry! No time!”

Such a cute guy. Still, a dog is a dog, and it knows how to be loyal to its owner. No, isn’t it something that goes beyond loyalty to the point of sacrificing one’s life? Anyway, I’m impressed.

But now is not the time for you to step forward.

Jeopuk-.

He steps forward, pressing Aru’s furry head with his palm. Aru is telling me not to do that, but I have my own thoughts.

He takes off his magician’s hat with one hand, holds it upside down, and bows towards the angels. With your head held high.

“Nice to meet you! ladies and gentlemen! My name is Oscar Lucifer, your youngest child and baby angel! I don’t know how you enjoyed watching the performance!”

Three angels stare at me. They will find me unfamiliar and disgusting. They completely destroyed their beloved Uriel.

However, because I love Uriel more than anyone else.

They must follow my words.

“Well, judging by your facial expressions, it looks like you didn’t enjoy the show… . It can’t be helped! Just as a writer can’t write something that makes everyone happy, I also can’t create a performance that makes every angel happy! Still, we need to clean up after the show neatly, right? What if you are a professional magician?”

“There is something I want to say, magician.”

Michael asks a question in a calm but not bright voice.

I grinned.

“Uri L, whose wings were torn off, cannot return to the heavenly world, and unlike Woori L, who came to the demon world after being summoned by me, those of you who came after breaking the laws of the heavenly and demon worlds can only stay in the demon world for a few minutes! Almost all of your powers will be restricted. Then, Woori L inevitably has to stay here alone… what? If you were left alone, you would have died of natural causes or become so weak that you would have been eaten by a roaming wild beast. If you don’t have a guardian, that day will be a memorial day, right?”

Actually, this is not the end of today’s show.

It’s a highlight.

“I’ll give you four choices! Lucifer, and Lucifer’s descendants, and a wolf girl raised by Lucifer’s descendants, and a paladin who follows Lucifer’s descendants. Who would you like to leave it to? Oh, by the way, if you kill me, the options between Paladin and Wolf Girl will of course disappear!”

Today’s show is a balance game.

Pick one.

Great angels.
