Chapter 1906: The Eighth Seraphim vs. Eye of Darkness (Part 47)
"I refuse!"
This is the answer from the Seraphim Chief to the divinities.
For tens of thousands of years, this is the first time he has defied the divine will.
Gu Shengyin knelt heavily on the ground, only feeling that there was another intense pressure added to her already heavy body.
She could barely withstand it, but only raised her head to look at Lucifer who stood ahead with a straight back.
The pressure they endured was only the remnant force; Lucifer was the one truly facing the wrath of the divinities.
Lucifer felt as if his back was about to break; he knew this forced retreat by the divinities.
But he absolutely could not retreat.
Nor could he kneel.
He widened his eyes, staring at the divinities above the Divine Throne, seemingly wanting to peer through the layer of Holy Light to discern their expression, wishing to know if the divinities are as indifferent as they appear.
In his azure eyes, the hope and reliance once held for the divinities layered and died away.
All the angels looked towards their always noble and virtuous Seraphim Chief as he lowered his head, his low voice echoing across the square: "I would rather die than endure such humiliation!"
Countless angels were moved.
Beneath the unseen Holy Light, the gaze of divinities trembled.
Their indifferent voice resonated through Heaven: "Lucifer, are you truly not going to kneel?"
Lucifer’s expression was already numb as he firmly answered, "Not kneeling!"
In the next moment, something binding the Seraphim Chief shattered.
The cold voice of God echoed throughout Heaven: "Seraphim Chief Lucifer, forsake the Seven Virtues, harbor the original sin of pride, unworthy to be Seraphim Chief. Remove the position of Vice Lord of Heaven, remove..."
Lucifer suddenly laughed, directly interrupting the words of God.
"Is this the Heaven that I have devoted all my efforts to? Pride? God, no need for you to speak."
He suddenly turned, facing all the angels kneeling in the square, all the emblems belonging to the Seraphim Chief on him broke and fell layer by layer, his golden hair cascading down.
Lucifer raised his voice and declared, "Heaven does not accommodate me, hence I will not force it. I, Lucifer, vow here and now, from today onwards, to abandon the title ’Fiel.’ Lucifer is dead, above and below, only Lucifer remains!"
"Your Highness!"
"His Highness Lucifer!"
"Your Highness, don’t!"
The angels still in bewilderment were all alarmed to hear this statement.
They could never have imagined why a good creation celebration would develop like this?
Lucifer raised his eyebrows and smiled, his brow and eyes filled with severity, no longer showing any trace of the former Seraphim Chief’s restrained gentleness: "If Heaven does not want me, what harm is there in overturning it?"
"Your Highness!"
The wind moved beside Gu Shengyin, and by the time she reacted, Samael had already walked out.
Samael walked straight to Lucifer’s side, knelt on one knee, and bowed his head: "Your Highness Lucifer, please allow Samael to continue following you."
Lucifer’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
He coldly said, "You don’t have to do this, Samael."
Samael shook his head: "Your Highness, you have always been the faith in Samael’s heart."
Lucifer hesitated, his dead gaze finally showing a trace of warmth.
Belial, who was kneeling behind Gu Shengyin, also stood up, his perpetually lazy and casual face for once turning serious.
He imitated Samael’s posture, kneeling respectfully towards Lucifer: "Your Highness Lucifer, please allow Berial to continue following you!"
The actions of the two Seraphim seemed to break a kind of shackle.
The entire square suddenly erupted with a sound like a mountain and sea.
It was the shout of innumerable angels:
"Your Highness Lucifer, please allow us to continue following you."
