418. The Authority of God!
418. The Authority of God!
At this moment, everything aligned with the prophecies of the Apocalypse.
Lucifer, now freed, brought about the world's Armageddon. The war between Heaven and Hell would soon plunge the human world into chaos.
The wise angel Gabriel was the first to sound the horn for the final judgment, and all things in the world would meet their end at this moment.
God would judge all the living and the dead, and no matter whether they were angels or demons, no being could escape this catastrophe.
Several bright, comet-like light clusters crashed heavily into the ground, raising over two meters of dust on the beach. The blinding milky-white light burst forth, gradually gathering into a human form.
As the light gradually retracted, it coalesced into the figure of a handsome young man.
"Michael."
At this point, Lucifer stopped paying attention to Alex. Although he was curious about where Alex's power came from, his primary concern now was Michael, the only enemy he needed to face.
However, upon seeing the handsome young man, Dean and Sam's eyes widened in shock as they looked at his face in disbelief.
"Adam!?"
It wasn't surprising that Dean and Sam were so shocked. Alex, too, looked at the young man named Adam with keen interest, narrowing his eyes.
This Adam wasn't the one from the biblical story, the one with Eve. He was John Winchester's illegitimate son, Dean and Sam's half-brother.
What stunned Dean and Sam was that they had met Adam before, but it wasn't the real Adam. Instead, it was a ghoul disguised as him after devouring his body.
The real Adam had already met an untimely death.
This made seeing their long-dead brother, now resurrected, something they couldn't immediately accept.
Adam… no, now Michael, turned his gaze to Dean's face and spoke in a deep voice.
"Dean, I gave you a chance, but you didn't accept my mercy. Now you see, you're not the only one who could be my vessel. Your brother, Adam, was also a very good container."
Dean now understood. For the archangels, resurrecting someone long dead was a piece of cake. It seemed that from the very beginning, Michael hadn't placed all his bets on Dean alone.
Michael had prepared for two outcomes. To kill Lucifer, he was even willing to resort to any means, even this.
Realizing this, Dean clenched his teeth in anger.
"Michael, you bastard!"
But Michael ignored Dean's words and turned to look at Lucifer, his expression calm and emotionless.
"It's good to see you, Lucifer."
"Yeah, I feel the same." Lucifer clenched his fists. He could feel that Michael's vessel was far stronger and better suited than his own. "I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."
"Then let's not waste any more words. You've betrayed our father and also betrayed me. You are my brother, but I didn't want to fight you. However, I have no choice; I must do this."
Michael slightly tilted his head. Behind him, more than ten angels received the signal and stepped back, creating space for the battle.
"Don't worry, Lucifer, this fight is just between the two of us. They're here only to ensure no one interrupts us. Nothing more."
"Wait, I don't understand. Father created all of this. He also created me. Now, he needs the existence of demons, and he also needs me." Lucifer couldn't help but speak up.
"So?" Michael was indifferent.
"Then why are we doing this?" Lucifer spread his hands, taking a deep breath, and spoke.
"Why must we kill each other? Why must we harm our own flesh and blood? Is it just because it's father's test? We are brothers, Michael. It was you who raised me, cared for me, not father, and we don't have to listen to his every command."
Upon hearing this, Michael's gaze flickered slightly. Lucifer was right. Michael had poured more love than anyone could imagine into Lucifer's birth and upbringing. It hurt him to kill Lucifer. However, the hesitation lasted only a few seconds before his expression returned to indifference.
Michael stared at Lucifer and said in a deep voice:
"Are you trying to tempt me into falling now, at this moment? I'm not like you, brother. I have to kill you because it's the right thing to do. That's all."
"The right thing to do?" Lucifer repeated Michael's words, his eyes filled with anger.
"Who told you it's the right thing to do? Is it because father told you?"
"Yes." Michael didn't try to hide his feelings. He spoke calmly. "Father already knew this would happen. This was all predestined."
"Then what? You're going to obey him blindly and kill your own brother?" Lucifer asked, dissatisfied.
"Yes," Michael nodded again, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Why?"
Lucifer was confused.
"Because I am father's good son." Michael's hands emitted a massive burst of light. "And I must follow his orders."
Lucifer furrowed his brows. He knew that this battle was inevitable. Moreover, he had yet to reclaim his true vessel, and without possessing Sam, he wouldn't be able to unleash his full power.
With the power of the new vessel already nearing its limit, Lucifer knew that if a fight broke out, he would likely be unable to withstand Michael at full strength. However, as Lucifer, he would never retreat in battle.
His pupils suddenly glowed with crimson bloodlight, and the visible red demonic power surged beneath Lucifer's skin, growing more intense by the second.
"It looks like the guests have arrived," Alex smiled as he saw both sides were ready for battle.
"The stage is set, now it's time for the actors to make their entrance."
"Hey, what are you planning to do?" A few angels nearby noticed Alex seemed ready to take action and hurriedly moved closer to him.
They were the most powerful angels in heaven, second only to Michael. Each one was a top-tier warrior among the angels.
These beings were elites, sworn to serve Michael, and they wouldn't allow Alex to disrupt the battle between Michael and Lucifer.
The leading angel raised his hand and grabbed Alex's shoulder.
But at the moment their touch made contact, a tremendous force erupted, instantly blasting the angel away.
This disturbance quickly caught everyone's attention. Michael and Lucifer turned to look at Alex.
Before they could react, the entire island began to tremble violently. The massive waves surged higher and higher, as if trying to meet the sky.
The entire space shook. Amidst the storm, several glowing magical runes appeared, floating in the air, radiating golden-yellow light like small suns.
"What is that?" Dean exclaimed, looking at the scene in astonishment.
Although they had discussed their strategy earlier, seeing such a magnificent sight in person left Dean and Sam in awe.
"It's some kind of powerful magic, strange and eerie. Those runes have sealed the entire space, like a cage. I can't take you out of here," Gabriel struggled to get up.
"Actually, this isn't a 'cage.' I prefer to call it an 'arena,'" Alex said with a smile, or a dinner table, if you prefer.
Lucifer and Michael, as the first batch of archangels created by God, had existed since the formation of the universe. But now, they found themselves facing an energy they had never encountered before.
"This can't be," Michael's calm face turned serious as he looked at the energy that had completely sealed off the area, his brow furrowed.
"This kind of energy shouldn't exist here."
For Michael, this world was created by his Father. He was deeply familiar with every plant and tree, every energy in this realm. But now, feeling the unfamiliar yet oddly familiar energy, he was unsettled.
"There is nothing impossible, Michael," Alex raised his hands, causing the runes in the sky to glow brighter.
Following the direction of the light, everyone could clearly see several figures floating in the sky, releasing powerful magical energy in harmony with Alex.
With the help of White Raven, Shazam, Queen Mera, Hawkman, and Wonder Woman, the Pacific island had been completely separated from reality, becoming a small world of its own.
Lucifer and Michael didn't read human comics, and rarely interacted with human society, so they didn't recognize these strange figures.
Although they couldn't identify the people, they couldn't ignore the powerful energies they were emanating. Feeling the magic and divine power that didn't belong to this place, Michael's expression turned to one of anger.
"Your existence is an insult to Father!" Michael shouted.
"Poor thing," Alex silently shook his head.
Perhaps Michael still considered God as his Father, but he seemed to have never considered how many versions of Michael might exist across the countless parallel universes God had created.
"Alright, I don't know what you are, but you've successfully pissed me off," Lucifer coldly glared at Alex, standing alongside Michael.
This energy prison reminded him of some unpleasant memories.
"No one can stop this fight, wizard," Michael's wings unfolded behind him, the pure white feathers spread slowly, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire space.
Beside him, Lucifer showed a sinister grin. Unlike ordinary angels, his wings were black and red, filled with a strange deathly aura.
"Your magic is indeed impressive, I've never encountered anything that wasn't Father's creation, but you shouldn't have trapped yourself with us," Lucifer sneered.
"Is that so?" Alex raised an eyebrow, amused by Lucifer's arrogance.
One by one, purple portals appeared behind Alex, and soon, countless figures began to emerge from the portals.
Alex raised his hands, smiling lightly.
"In fact, it's you who trapped yourselves with us."
