CHAPTER 45

"You damn bitch, I'll make you as you did to me." Azazel hissed, staring at Shushu loudly.

Shushu tilted his head and smirked. "Valhalla has given me the power of God. I will make sure you are completely crushed." pointed Azazel to Shushu.

Shushu still didn't move, and her gaze looked very disdainful to Azazel. Azazel being stared at like that made him inflamed.

It moved with lightning speed, grabbing Shushu, but Azazel stopped when Shushu grabbed Azazel's face. Azazel squirmed, trying to release Shushu's grip.

Shushu looked at Azazel, who looked like a hot worm. This time, Shushu gripped Azazel's face so hard that it crushed Azazel's head.

Leon and the others fell silent as Shushu crushed the Demon's head with just her grip. Azazel's head started to regenerate, which surprised everyone but not Shushu.

"Haha," Azazel's laughter that was happy because his head regenerated was cut off when Shushu threw her Scythe to slash at Azazel.

Azazel's body is now split into two parts. But still, keep on regenerating. Azazel giggled again. Shushu was still staring blankly at Azazel.

This time, Shushu slashed Azazel again, resulting in Azazel's body being chopped into pieces. But again, his body regenerates. Azazel smiled triumphantly, seeing Shushu couldn't kill him.

Azazel darted to move closer to Shushu. But his movement was stopped when he was wrapped in a blood-red chain.

Azazel groaned in pain as he was wrapped around the chain. "Let go of me, damn it!" cursed Azazel staring at Shushu loudly.

"Hah…" Baba's sigh standing behind Azazel made him turn his head.

"Troublesome," Baba said, stretching out his hand and holding his hand towards Azazel. Azazel screamed in pain because the chain got stronger, making Azazel fall unconscious.

Baba walked toward Shushu and stood right in front of Shushu. "Is my girl okay?" Baba lifted Shushu's chin with Baba's index finger.

Shushu pushed Baba's hand away and looked away. "Tsk." Shushu was upset, feeling very annoyed. Baba just smiled, seeing Shushu, who looked annoyed.

Baba turned to Leon and the others, seeing that they were already injured and exhausted from enduring Azazel's tantrum. Baba smiled at them.

Gabby was seen walking through a garden filled with blooming flowers. He continued to walk until he met a pair of 5-year-old children playing while arranging flower crowns.

Gabby approached the pair of small children and saw a little girl wearing a crown made of flowers to the boy. The pair knew Gabby's presence of children. The two children turned to Gabby and scattered, running towards Gabby.

Gabby gasped as the two children hugged her on either side of Gabby. "Gabby, we missed you, honey." said the little girl in a childlike voice.

"Did you forget about us?" said the little man hugging her. The two small children let go of their embrace, and Gabby stared intensely at the two little children's faces.

Gabby covered her mouth with her hand. She didn't feel like she was shedding tears. "Grandmother Liliana, Grandfather Albert." Gabby finally realized when she looked at the two children's faces like Liliana's and Albert's.

The two children smiled broadly when Gabby remembered. She knelt at her height with the two children. "I miss you guys," Gabby said quietly, but the two children heard her.

The two children hugged Gabby again and kissed both sides of Gabby's cheeks. Gabby let go of her arms and sat down on the green grass. "Where are we?" Gabby said as she scanned the entire garden.

The little girl, who was none other than Liliana, smiled at Gabby. "Here, we call it the Consciousness of the Gods," said Liliana, who started to sit on the grass, followed by Albert.

Gabby looked at Liliana in confusion. "Why are Grandpa and Grandma in the form of a child?" asked Gabby in surprise at their appearance.

Liliana looked at Albert and smiled in amusement. "This is our dream, my dear," Albert said, even confused Gabby.

"The form that always brings happiness and joy is why we are in this form." Gabby realized that being a small child was a manifestation of joy and happiness for others.

Gabby just smiled, seeing their happy and cheerful faces. Liliana grabbed Gabby's hand. "Would you like to meet your mother?" said Liliana. Gabby stared at Liliana silently, while Liliana just smiled gently.

Liliana and Albert stood up. "Come with us," said Albert pulling Gabby's hand. She stood up and walked, following the tug of Liliana and Albert.

"Look." Liliana pointed to a woman who was sitting on a long chair.

Gabby covered her mouth with tears in her eyes. "Go away. She must be missing you," said Albert. Albert and Liliana ran around laughing happily back to where they were.

Gabby, who saw the two of them, could only smile while wiping her tears.

Gabby walked slowly towards the middle-aged woman sitting with her back to her. "Mother," said Gabby looking at Eliana.

Eliana turned her head. She immediately stood up and rushed to hug Gabby. "Gabriella, my dear." Eliana sobbed and hugged Gabby tightly.

Gabby returned Eliana's hug and started sobbing. "I'm sorry, mother," Gabby whispered in Eliana's arms.

Eliana let go of her hand. She stared intently at Gabby's face. "No dear, sorry mother, mother always ignore you," said Eliana while wiping the water droplets on Gabby's cheeks.

"I'm sorry," said Eliana looking sadly at Gabby. She nods her head and starts smiling. She hugged her tightly again.

Eliana let go of her embrace and kissed every inch of Gabby's face. "Thank you for forgiving mom," said Eliana again in return for a nod from Gabby.

"Don't be sad anymore," said Eliana comforting Gabby, still in sorrow.

She hugged Gabby again while stroking Gabby's back. "Please take care of your brother and sister and forgive your brother."

"Mom has to go. Mother loves you," said Eliana letting go of her arm.

Eliana continued to caress Gabby's cheek even though her body slowly became translucent and began to disappear.

She was leaving Gabby, who was still bowed. She was silent for a moment even though her feelings of sadness had disappeared.

Gabby returns to the park and meets Albert and Lilian. "You're coming back?" Liliana stopped her activity of arranging flowers.

Gabby nodded and smiled. "Can we still meet?" ask Gabby

Albert and Liliana nodded enthusiastically. "You can enter the consciousness of the Gods," said Albert.

"Just remember us and think about this garden while closing your eyes." he continued. Gabby smiled again.

"Okay, Grandpa, Grandma," said Gabby. he knelt at his level with them and hugged them tightly.

"I'll be playing here often," said Gabby, hugging them. Slowly Gabby's body disappeared with a beam of Light
