God is Dead

"How is this possible?"

"Has God abandoned us?"

"Lord, your faithful servant calls for deliverance!"

"Are these the trumpets of the apocalypse? Impossible, impossible, impossible."

"How could Gabriel ally with the devil? Has he, too, fallen?"

"God, please open your eyes and see what's happening in the world!"

Some devout believers watched in horror as images showed Gabriel conspiring with Mammon to open the gates of hell, and they began to weep.

Meanwhile, some paparazzi, driven by the pursuit of money and fame, continued to report the facts.

"The video clearly shows Angel Gabriel collaborating with the devil, attempting to usher in hell on Earth."

"But is that really Gabriel?"

"What could possibly be Gabriel's motive?"

"What will become of Los Angeles if the gates of hell are opened?"

"What's the secret behind all this?"

"Is this a distortion of human nature or a celestial fall?"

"The Los Angeles Times remains dedicated to delivering firsthand updates."

Major American media outlets continued their coverage unabated. It was unclear if their motivation was fame, fortune, or something more sinister. The camera stubbornly focused on the gates of hell and the obscured angel.

"Ha-ha-ha," a monstrous demonic head emerged first from the gates of hell. First the head, then the body and claws, followed by flaming hooves and a lashing tail. The devil surveyed the Earth, threw back his head, roared, and beat his chest. It felt like stepping into a nightmare.

Then the carnage and destruction began unchecked. Demons were only the beginning; soon, countless monsters poured forth. A three-headed dog charged, its massive jaws filled with teeth, spewing fire as it ran. Death knights, nightmares, skeletons, giants, ghosts—all imaginable horrors—charged toward Earth. It seemed as if even more terrifying beings were driving them from hell.

They began their rampage, killing and destroying with abandon.

On the other hand, Mammon and Gabriel stood coldly atop the tall building, watching everything calmly.

Mammon's body rapidly grew from that of a baby into an extremely handsome man with an evil aura. He was constantly intoxicated by the inhalation of souls, as if some inexplicable substance in the air was continuously pouring into his body. These were the souls of all those who died in this disaster. Every soul made Mammon stronger.

At the same time, the terrain around Mammon underwent drastic changes. A scorching aura full of death emanated from him, expanding its influence. All vitality vanished without a trace in the presence of this aura. Greenery disappeared, replaced by barren land. Mammon would turn the world into a second hell.

Gabriel frowned and took a few steps away from Mammon. The aura around Mammon made him uncomfortable. But looking at the believers praying frantically after the appearance of the devil, smiles gradually spread on their faces. Indeed, without the existence of demons, mortals wouldn't be pious in their belief in angels.

But what about the planes still circling and the reporters who dared to point their cameras at him and Mammon? Were they exposed? Gabriel hurriedly changed the color of his wings. As a high-level angel, changing the color of his wings was easy. Black wings. A fallen angel, with the son of Satan. Perfect. I'm just an ordinary fallen angel. Who dares to call me Gabriel?

However, given the situation, why hasn't the Sorcerer Supreme come to control those demons? It's one thing for demons to show themselves, kill some people, and scare others. But turning the world into hell? Gabriel was the first to refuse. At least half of it must be reserved for heaven. Gabriel quietly moved a few steps away from Mammon.

Meanwhile, Caesar had just persuaded the Sorcerer Supreme to leave. After walking around in hell again, he found it different from the hell where Hela was imprisoned. This meant it was impossible to release Hela from this hell. Slightly disappointed, Caesar discovered some secrets about hell and heaven.

He learned that heaven and hell are not real worlds. They are small dimensions that rely on Earth and humans. Man came first, and then God followed! After Caesar killed a big demon who barely reached the fourth rank, he learned more. The original Satan and God were both dead! One became the furnace of hell, and the other became the flame of heaven.

Caesar looked at the furnace of hell before him, where countless souls wailed. Some were burned to the ground, turned into energy to maintain the entire hell.

In the depths of the wailing, a ceaseless torrent of power churned, giving rise to a myriad of monstrous forms. Yet, it became evident that the very energy sustaining Hell was dwindling, resulting in fewer and fewer monsters emerging. The lords of Hell responded with harsh punishments, casting those who erred into the furnace to fuel its fading vitality. The demise of Hell seemed inevitable.

Similarly, Heaven faced its own challenges. Caesar, contemplative, retrieved the Hell furnace, intending to investigate its reception and utilization of souls on Earth. He suspected that Heaven's Reincarnation Pond might hold similar insights.

As powerful demon lords moved to defend Hell's furnace, Caesar dismissed their threat, mocking their inability to rival him without the Space Gem. He illuminated the sky, bringing warmth to Hell and incinerating many demons in the process.

With a snap of his fingers, Caesar returned to Los Angeles, where the Angel First Legion, led by the formidable Sacred Keisha, awaited. The Earth stood on the brink of a new order, orchestrated by Caesar. With a nod to Keisha, Caesar signaled the commencement of their plan.

As Keisha and the angels effortlessly dispatched demons, Caesar covertly employed the Space Gem to seal Hell's gate. Mammon, born into the world, fled at the sight of Gabriel, only to be captured by Valina.

Gabriel, realizing the threat posed by the approaching angels, attempted to escape, but found himself weakened by the Ancient One's defenses. As the conflict escalated, Heaven, sensing danger, sought to remove Gabriel, prompting Caesar to intervene and close Heaven's gate.

With a flicker of the Space Gem, Caesar asserted his dominance over space itself, thwarting Heaven's grasp and asserting his superiority. He restored Gabriel's wings and declared to Keisha, "God is dead," igniting a storm that reverberated throughout the world.
