"Brother... I'm so sleepy."
Nemu nestled in Lod's arms. Her little face was pale and her breath became weaker and weaker.
"Nemu, don't sleep!"
Lod's expression suddenly changed. He gently shook Nemu in his arms and kept calling her name.
But all he got in return was silence.
This pure feather was like a poisonous arrow that Heracles had shot at Chiron. The high-level divine power contained within it caused Nemu to constantly endure unimaginable pain until her soul finally collapsed and died.
"Hold on, Nemu. Big brother will help you pull it out now!"
A cold light flashed in Lod's eyes. He grabbed the pure white feather with his bare hands, wanting to pull it out!
Zi, zi, zi!
At the moment of contact, it was as if he was holding a hot iron, as if his soul was burning in a raging fire. Intense pain poured into his brain like a tide!
Accompanying it was every nerve in his brain, every cell in his body, and every inch of his skin. He was screaming hysterically!
"Ah"
Lod was in so much pain that his face was twisted, his eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his entire body bulged. He looked extremely terrifying.
But even though his soul was suffering from such intense burning pain, he still refused to let go of his palm!
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.
Even though he had used all his strength, that pure white feather still did not move.
Seeing that Nemu's soul was getting weaker and weaker, in a moment of desperation, Lod came up with an idea, thinking that Constantine might have a way!
Constantine had been dealing with heaven for the longest time, and he was a magician himself, maybe he could pull out this feather?
At the thought of this, Lod hugged Nemu, and returned to Constantine's side.
"Save her!"
Lod's eyes were blood red, and his voice was extremely hoarse. Now, he could only place all his hopes on Constantine!
Constantine was shocked by Lod's appearance, but then he looked down and saw the seriously injured Nemu and the sacred white feather.
"This feather... is it an angel feather?"
Although he had seen many angel feathers, and there were several hidden cards in his family, the difference between these feathers and the one in front of him was like clouds and mud!
This feather was spotlessly white and flawless, and it emitted a dense divine aura. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, it was as if the sound of heaven was ringing in his ears.
Thus, this feather was absolutely impossible. It had fallen from an ordinary angel!
An almost impossible possibility suddenly flashed through Constantine's mind. "Could it be that this feather came from the Seraph's divine wings?"
That's right!
Only the legendary highest ranked Seraph could possess such a dense holy aura, as well as the blazing and pure holy light that was like the sun!
"Seraph..."
Constantine's expression was extremely ugly. A' person 'instantly appeared in his mind. He gnashed his teeth and said, "This feather... is from Gabriel!"
Now that things had come to this.
The evidence was already on his face. If he still didn't understand, then he would really be an idiot!
Even in the heavens where there were countless heavenly envoys, there were only eight highest ranked Seraph!
And out of the eight Seraph, only Gabriel was tasked to guard the human world, and happened to be in Los Angeles!
All the clues pointed to Gabriel, and a huge conspiracy gradually appeared in front of Constantine.
But there was one thing he could not figure out, and that was, as one of the ranks of Seraph, why did Gabriel cooperate with the Infernal King?
Looking at the injured Nemu and the red-eyed Lod, Constantine's heart was in turmoil.
It felt like there was no way to start.
"Give up... She is already hopeless."
Constantine's eyes dimmed slightly as he whispered, "The Seraph's Feather represents the source of the angel's power. It is formed from pure and sacred power of the angel. Mortals can not pull it out at all, unless..."
At this point, Constantine wanted to say something but stopped.
"Unless what?"
Lod's eyes were red as he asked word by word.
"There are two ways."
Constantine took a deep look at him, then took a deep breath of smoke and said, "First, the power of the Seraph's feathers comes from the Seraph itself, so only by killing Gabriel can you pull out this feather."
"Second, although the Seraph has different positions with each other, the power comes from God. If the other Seraph take action, they can also pull out this feather."
Both choices are very difficult!
Whether it was killing the Seraph or finding the second Seraph, to the current Lod, it was more difficult than ascending to the heavens!
With his last bit of hope, Lod asked, "Can you summon the Seraph to descend?"
"I'm sorry."
An apologetic expression appeared on Constantine's face as he bitterly said, "There is nothing I can do. The miracle of summoning the Seraph is something that can only be done by a person with a strong enough faith or a Pope."
Putting aside whether he was firm or not, just faith alone had nothing to do with Constantine!
The second path was instantly blocked.
The only choice left now was to kill Gabriel.
Lod closed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Let me ask you, if Gabriel loses her wings, is this feather still useful?"
"How is that possible?"
Constantine was stunned for a moment. He felt that Lod might be dreaming. The Blazing Angel was a high-ranked angel. Who could peel off their wings?
"You only need to tell me if it is or not!" Lod said in a deep voice.
"Theoretically, it is feasible."
Constantine could only answer truthfully, "Once Seraph loses its wings, it means that it has been stripped of its position as an angel. The falling feathers will naturally be impossible, and it will have the divinity of the Seraph."
"I understand..."
Lod's eyes were cold. He had already thought of a solution, but this solution might not be something Constantine liked.
Lod manipulated Reishi to build a piece hollow space, picked up Nemu with the most gentle movement, put her in this space, and then hid the whole space in the shadows.
In this way, there was no need to worry about Nemu's safety for the time being.
"Let's go."
Lod's eyes were indifferent, and said lightly, "Let's stop Mammon and Gabriel."
"It's time to stop them."
Constantine lit up a cigarette, took a deep breath, and grinned. "I hope that the two of us can come back alive this time."
...
After the two of them left.
A graceful black cat walked out with graceful steps.
The black cat walked to the place where Nemu was hiding. It raised its claws and used its sharp fingertips to easily cut through the hidden shadow space. Then, it slowly walked in.
"Meow ---"
The black cat stretched out its tongue and licked Nemu's cheek. Its golden vertical pupils revealed a trace of human compassion.
Then.
A drop of pure gold tears rolled down from the black cat's eyes and slowly dripped on Nemu's chest.
