Chapter 560 Brotherly Love 2
"What?" Lucifer''s octave didn''t rise the slightest when questioning Gabriel. Narrowing his gaze, he slowly inches himself closer to Gabriel, until the tips of nostrils were inches from kissing. "Gabriel, Gabriel Gabriel… you know better than to challenge, I, your brother." Hmph! "Talk is cheap, brother. For the good of the world, I shall apprehend you, foil your hand and ensure you don''t get whatever it is you''re looking for."
Gabriel swung his magnificent sword righteously, but Lucifer slowly rolled up his sleeves and brought out a dark de of his own that emitted ck and purple aura. They say twins think alike, and they wouldn''t be wrong to say he and his brother always loved the same weapon types. s, who could have known that their fates would be so different?
"Alright, I do agree to a battle, since you''re itching for a fight. But answer me this, brother… How did you know?" Lucifer was indeed baffled to find Gabriel here. He had taken several precautions during his time here, and would have sworn that Gabriel wouldn''t be able to find him anytime soon. So howe he is now standing face to face with him here? Or could it be that Gabriel has grown stronger than he during their time apart? Thest time they did see each other, was 2.3 million years ago when they met on another world and battles so hard both of them were left heavily injured. During that time, he also hid away, not in the underworld, but in the human world so no one would sense his weakness.
His body had indeed taken a big hit, but after 700 years, he was able to fully recover again. Lucifer''s mind spun wildly, already strategizing how he could flee before the battle gets out of hand and serious. ''With our ns up anding, I can''t afford to take off decades and years to heal any battle wounds… I should go, but with the way my dear brother speaks, it seems he has a clue of the location where that Trickster may have hidden the object.'' In that case, how could he flee just like that? Impossible! Knowing his brother''s straight forward trait, Lucifer recalled how many times he tricked Gabriel into identally revealing the information he seeks. This brother of his was somewhat of a battle maniac with a straightforward personality. He had to admit that since birth, Gabriel had always been stronger than he. But what made them even in battle was that he mostly relied on his quick wits and brains. This brother of his was an Obedient Soldier, the one you can count on toplete a mission without any questions. Of course, Gabriel did get inquisitive at times, but provided it was an order set by the Almighty himself and the few higher heavenly beings, you best believe Gabriel willplete the task without question. Gabriel had blind faith in the Almighty, a sort of faith he felt stupid. .
Again, Gabriel was a stickler for the rules when it came to underworld beings and securing the souls of their human victims. The only time Gabriel felt he should use his Brian''s, was when the orders didn''te from the Almighty. For example, this world was his to protect, so Gabriel did his best with his own ns to set it up as one of the safest ever to exist. Perhaps it was because he lived following the rules, that he seeded so well in keeping but just this one safe, but several others under his wings too. So what if the Almighty has been missing for heaven knows how long? Gabriel has always kept to all rules and protocols the Almighty left for him to do. He and a grand elite team of original angels who fought the great war, also ensured the angels and other heavenly beings guarding the uncountable human worlds didn''t get sloppy. There was also that prick who called himself Archangel Michael, who pissed the hell out of Lucifer whenever they identally met and engaged in battle. All these elite angels and archangels used to be chummy friends with him when he was still an angel. But now, they were enemies for life!
…
"Enough talk, brother! I have no inkling of hearing or answering any questions that seethe from your deceptive tongue!"
With a sweep of his hand, Gabriel unleashed a torrent of energy from his de that tore through the air, causing ripples of heat erupt around them. Lucifer''s eyes widened slightly when knowing his brother''s powers had grown slightly taller than his since theirst battle. Jumping back several feet, Lucifer quickly evaded the attack inches before it could touch him.
"Death Seeker!
Creeeeee!!!~ n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gabriel narrowed his gaze when staring at that sword that now had wolfish fangs appearing on one side of its de. Well, this was new. He has never seen his brother''s sword do this. But was he going to back down? Never! Not a chance! A part of Gabriel was actually excited to fight something he never experienced before. "Come brother, show me the extent of your powers!" "Collipsium Hantora!!!" Grawlll!!!
A giant golden head roared through Gabriel''s sword, projecting itsrge face towards its enemy. Rumble, rumble, rumble~
The grounds began to shake, and even the skies split into 2 with thunder and chaos. What was that? "Do you feel that?" "Quickly! We leave now!!"
Several angels and even exorcists all the way to the other end of this world, opened their eyes and quickly made their way towards the duo''s location. Such power… such strength… .they sensed it might be Gabriel. But who was he fighting? Who was it that was making Gabriel go all out? Those on floating inds and mountain tops flooded down in a blink of an eye. Angels protecting their world also zoomed in without haste. Lucifer''s eyes also grew cold when knowing he had but a few seconds to vanish before things truly got out of hand. Luckily, he had gathered some information mid-battle. .
"Although I could never prove it, I sensed you were working with that annoying Trickster all these years. But don''t worry brother, your ns wille fail since we have the Trickster now locked up in an even safer facility than before!!"
Lucifer almost rolled his eyes at how conformer Gabriel was. Hello? Was he just meeting Loki now? Since they''ve known Loki from young till now, does he look like a person who can be kept trapped forever? What prison system did the heavens think of that he hasn''t broken out of yet? Loki has never been tied down not once in his entire existence. Sure, you can put him in whatever secure facility you think of now, but decades, centuries and even millenniater, he would be long free and back to his usual habits. Well, a millennium was too long for Loki''s prison breaks. From the times Loki has appeared before him in the past, Lucifer could decipher that it took Loki less than 700 years to escape.
Sometimes, he can break out in 2 years, sometimes 100, but his longest was 700. Of course, after hacking the system, he would still pretend to be a prisoner, so he could vanish into the many worlds and rain havoc on them while having a sweet alibi to back his innocence. What? You''re saying it''s him who brought down an entire ancient city in another world? Impossible! He has been in the cell all this while, no? Lucifer found Gabriel''s confidence to be ridiculous. Well, he only hoped the trickster could escape in time to give him thest piece of information he needed to break the heavenly cosmos when thes all align. …
Lucifer was somewhat happy with the information leaked by Gabriel. It''s just that the dumdum didn''t know where Loki''s item was hidden.
It seems Gabriel wasn''t even sure Loki had hidden anything in his world. However, Gabriel said he could smell a faint stench belonging to Loki that had been lurking around this part of the world. It seems because of this stench, he has been guarding this region and the cities within them carefully. Lucifer''s eyes almost sparkled like jewels when knowing he was in the right ce. Yes, it''s somewhere in this territory…. Bug where? ''Time to go.''
Seeing the old man behind Gabriel, Lucifer quickly shot an attack towards Gabriel, and another quick one towards the old man. "No!!!" Gabriel shed towards the old man just in time to block the attack. And when he raised his head once more, he found himself surrounded by the angels and exorcists of this world. "Great Archangel Gabriel, are you alright?" The humans looked at the towering figure in awe. Archangels were far taller and more gigantic in stature than regr angels. Gabriel was over 9 feet tall, with a burly body, fluffy golden hair, a golden halo, beautiful wings, and a thick heavenly light always around him. "I''m alright." Gabriel sent his mind to scatter around the world, but found no traces of his dear brother. However, this didn''t mean Lucifer had left this world… especially since he came here in the flesh for an object or a person. Although Gabriel hadn''t found out what he was looking for, wasn''t this world under his wing? ''Brother, I will find it first!!''
