392 Your last chance

Michael looked at Dulio and thought that he really hadn't taught this child much. He had left him alone and let him do whatever Dulio wanted to do, yet it was because what Dulio did was harmless as Dulio was only going out to hunt the evil beings, test delicious foods, or give hope to those children who had lost it. 

Yet, unexpectedly, Dulio was surprised by becoming the leader of this rebellion who attacked heaven. 

Moreover, from this, it was easy to see how hypocritical Dulio was as he didn't do anything when some of the angels were wounded and killed, yet when the human was started at a disadvantage, he started to move as if he was the savior. 

Nevertheless, as the strongest exorcist ever lived, when Dulio appeared, the angels stopped as they knew Dulio's power. 

Yet, the humans were all excited, thinking that they saw hope when Dulio appeared. 

Still, watching the expression of that human, Michael knew that there was no hope for them anymore, and he thought to end all of them. 

"Dulio, as my Joker, I will give you a last chance." 

Nevertheless, Michael still felt reluctant to lose this second-strongest Longinus user. 

"Kill all of the sinners for me." 

"....." 

Everyone fell into silence, and all of them were so nervous. The air was so suffocating that no one could talk, and they felt like their chest was about to burst due to the nervousness.

It was also the same case as Dulio, as he had never expected the leader of all the angels and heaven would be so cruel. 

Was this the true face of the angel?

Or was Michael being affected by the devil?

Many thoughts appeared in his mind, yet he had never thought that it was all their fault to invade heaven. 

Yet, for the angels, this was already their limit. Their homes, their sacred garden, and the last remaining gift left by their Lord, God, were stomped, stained, and dirtied by a human. 

Moreover, if something like this could happen once, then wouldn't it be possible for it to happen twice?

This was already their limit, and they weren't going to forgive those humans! 

Still hearing Michael's heartless order, Dulio was stunned, and he couldn't believe what he had heard. His body was shaking, and he turned to look at the group of humans that had come to attack heaven with him. 

As if noticing Dulio's decision, all of the humans quickly begged. 

"No, don't kill us, Gesualdo!" 

"We beg you... please..." 

"We're really sorry for what we have done. We won't do this again." 

Watching them begging him, Dulio closed his eyes and said courageously to Michael, "Michael-sama, they have repented themselves. Please forgive them, Michael-sama." 

"Yes, Michae-sama... please forgive us!" 

"We won't do it again!" 

"Please! Please!"

As if gaining courage from Dulio, all of them begged together that they put their heads on the ground. 

Yet, Michael never changed his decision. "Do it, or I will kill you here, Dulio." He had seen many humans, and they thought that just a simple forgiveness would change everything. A human was, in the end, an animal. When they saw something, they got greedy. Some were smart, and they knew what they should do and what they shouldn't do, but most of them were stupid, and they got ahead of themselves, thinking whatever they did would be forgiven. 

It was the same case as Dulio, this stupid boy. 

"No, please, Michael-sama! Please change your decision! They should be given a chance! They have repented themselves! There is no need for us to fight anymore!" 

"THEN, WHY DID YOU COME TO ATTACK US HERE IN THE HEAVEN?!" Michael roared for the first time. "DO YOU THINK THAT WE'RE YOUR TOOL? DO YOU THINK AS LONG AS YOU ASK FOR FORGIVENSS, YOU WILL BE FORGIVEN? THEN WHY DID YOU THINK GOD CREATED A HELL?" 

If there was a reason why God created hell, then it was because of this type of people. 

"DID YOU THINK THIS WILL END AS LONG AS YOU ASK FOR FORGIVENESS? THEN, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE ANGELS THAT YOU HAVE KILLED AND WOUNDED? MOREOVER, DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HIDE THOSE DIRTY EYES FROM ME?!" 

The killing aside, there were many who thought that they could get their hands on the angels and do something dirty to them. 

While in the original, Issei might have done the same by looking at the angels with a perverted gaze, he was the original, and he also had the power to back up his perverted act. 

However, what did those humans think?

Did they think that they could gaze at the angels with those dirty eyes?

Michael was so furious that he wished to exterminate every human in this world. At this moment, he thought about what Riser had said before and realized how naive he was. If he wasn't so naive and gentle, then would all of this happen?

Yet, Michael knew what he had done wrong, and he wouldn't let his guard down anymore. 

While he wouldn't exterminate all humans, he wouldn't hesitate to kill all of those who were involved in this matter, even if he had to kill all the beings in the church. 

Nevertheless, Michael knew the importance of power. 

Only power was necessary. 

Justice and wrong? 

Those things could change depending on those who stood above them. 

Still, unlike Riser, who could kill others easily even if they were a Longinus user, Michael wanted Dulio to change. Moreover, as his Joker, he knew Dulio's personality well, and as long as Dulio could change, then everything would be solved, yet—

Facing Michael's judgment and roars, Dulio felt like his heart was crushed. He knew well that everything had gone in the wrong direction, but he tried to close his eyes, thinking that everyone was going to be alright, as he knew how god and angels would forgive those who repented. Yet, unexpectedly, they didn't receive their forgiveness, and what awaited them was a cruel judgment. 

Dulio couldn't even look Michael in the eyes and turned his eyes to the people who had come to attack heaven. 

"No, Gesualdo..." 

"Please save us..." 

"We beg you..." 

As an orphan, Dulio thought of everyone as brothers and sisters, so there was no way for him to let them die, right?

Dulio closed his eyes, then made up his determination. He wasn't sure where this courage came from, but he said courageously to Michael. "Michael-sama, I think this is wrong. Please reconsider your decision. Please forgive them. They won't do it again." He thought that by showing his determination, Michael would change his decision. 

Then, along with Dulio's pleas, the others also followed, but—

One of the heads of those humans exploded and died by Michael's beam of light. 

Yet, this wasn't the end; Michael attacked Dulio with the intention to kill. 

"Then, die." 

At this moment, Dulio realized that an angel wasn't such a forgiving being.
