Chapter 3 - Satan and Gabriel

After the shout, the man in front of me suddenly changed his appearance. He changed into a man in a tailcoat with a magician's hat and on his face there's a mask with a smile. Half of the mask is black while the other half is white. And then he spoke

"hehe I never intended to prove that your suspicion all this time is true and really was here as a judge. Because of Gabriel though it looks like my cover was blown so I will just speak to you like this."

"As I thought, my guess is correct that you are not the real judge…

Anyway, can you tell me now why are you here as my judge?" I asked curiously

As he shrugs he answered me

"Actually, I'm here to look for something interesting and your soul book piques my interest so I just kinda slip in here and hide the original judge away."

Confused, I asked him

"You say my soul book piques your interest but I'm pretty sure that there are others that already experienced what I experienced right? I mean it's not like getting…

Getting…. Oh shit! You already know what it is but stayed silent. Alright it's about me getting r*ped to death isn't supposed to be that rare. I'm pretty sure that in middle age there are many boys and girls, men and women who died like that. So there's no real point in you being my judge right?"

As he walks to the wall just beside the window while touching his mask, he answered

"That is true that getting raped to death isn't that rare but that's not the real reason I come here you know? It is true that the reason I'm here is that you pique my interest but that part of you getting r*ped to death is only about a quarter of the reason and the remaining ¾ is because your soul has traces of magic."

When I heard that I was so surprised and hurriedly asked him

"What do you mean about-"

*Boommm *Boomm

After two booming sounds, a thundering voice can be heard just outside the room.

"AT LAST, I FOUND YOU! SAATAAAANNN!!! COME HERE AND GO BACK TO YOUR PLACE!!!!!"

After that, the wall beside Satan started to crumble and he hurriedly says

"Oh, shit this girl really doesn't know how to hold back! She even used aether in the buffer zone!

GABRIEL ARE YOU CRAZY?!! YOU WILL MAKE GOD MAD IF YOU USE AETHER HERE!!! THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THOSE POOR SOULS!!! THEY WILL BE ERASED WITHOUT A TRACE!!"

Gabriel with an even louder voice.

"SHUT YOUR TRAP YOU F*CKER! THERE'S NO WAY YOU CARE ABOUT THOSE SOULS!! I KNOW YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT WHAT INTERESTS YOU!! AND EVEN IF THEY GOT ERASED THEY CAN STILL BE REVIVED JUST BY TRADING THEIR REVIVAL WITH ANOTHER FEW MILLION YEARS OF YOUR PUNISHMENT ANYWAY!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!"

When I heard that I was dumbfounded. (Is this really that archangel that was supposedly the pinnacle of holiness and the embodiment of peace and tranquillity?!)

Looking at my confused face Satan answered without me even asking directly

"Uhhh yes she is always like this. At least every time I meet her, she is always angry. I don't really know why though. Even though she was so cute back then."

"WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! AND WHO ARE YOU TO CALL ME "SHE"?! I'M THE SAME AS YOU! WE DON'T HAVE GENDER DAMN IT!! AND YOU MORTAL STOP TALKING!!"

As Gabriel answered, her voice started to get higher and higher just like the voice of a teenage girl. Then the sound of booming continues.

"Oh my! This girl is getting stronger.. the wall will be destroyed in the next 2 hits. What do you think? Want to continue chatting or not? If you want to I will take you with me for now. Oh by the way if you refuse I will just leave you here and let you get hit by her fist"

I answered instantly.

"Take me with you please! I already died once I don't want to feel any more pain even before I got my punishment."

"Alright then let's go"

*snap

As the sound of his finger-snapping reached my ear, a translucent gray sphere is covering me and Satan. When there's another booming sound the wall beside us crumbled and shows the everlasting white buffer zone. Outside the room, I can see a girl with twelve pairs of wings. Her face is covered by haze but based on the outline, without a doubt her face is beautiful. Behind the girl, there are thousands of white balls the size of the sun.

The girl, Gabriel pulled her right hand and clenched her fist as she finished that motion hundreds of the ball of light behind her disappeared and her fist started to glow so brightly that if I still have my body's eyes without a doubt my eyes will be blind.

"Oh shit, GABRIEL ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL YOUR BROTHER HERE?! DON'T TAKE IT THAT I WON'T HIT YOU JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE MY LITTLE SISTER!!"

Satan hurriedly shout as he started to make the sphere turn blacker and blacker while still maintaining its visibility.

"SHUT YOUR F*CKING MOUTH! YOU KEPT ON SAYING BROTHER THIS BROTHER THAT! SINCE WHEN DID YOU GET A GENDER HUH?!! STOP CALLING ME YOUR SISTER!! AND I'M NOT YOUNGER THAN YOU! WE WERE BORN AT THE SAME TIME! YOU HEAR THAT?! AT. THE. SAME. TIME!!!"

(This girl…. I don't know how far she is from the word holy and tranquility… Well at the very least that ball of light sure looks holy enough though.)

"YOU MORTAL! STOP WHAT YOU ARE THINKING RIGHT NOW!!"

(Damn! She's really unreasonable!)

Suddenly her fist stopped getting brighter and with a speed that my vision can't follow she appeared in front of the sphere straight to Satan and swing her fist.

*Baaamm *Crack *Crack

The sphere started to crack as I see that Gabriel's fist is right in front of Satan's face and only separated by a few millimeters. With a *humph Gabriel's fist shattered the sphere and goes straight for Satan's face.

At the moment of contact between Gabriel's fist and Satan's mask, a very strong shockwave is created. When I saw that, thought to myself 'this is it' it's my time to die again and I closed my eyes.

One second, two seconds, three, four as I kept on counting I didn't feel pain and tried to open my eyes.

What is in front of me is not the white buffer zone anymore, instead it's a world with dim light and everything else is black. The dim light is emitted by a blob of water right in front of me.

"Hey there, it's been a long time since I talked to a human."

Suddenly there's a voice echoing straight to my head.

(Ahhh another one with their shapeshifting abilities huh)

As I thought about that, the blob in front of me hurriedly said

"Nononono, I don't have a shapeshifting ability and this is my real appearance right now."

"Now this is a surprise. By the way, what are you? How come your body is just a blob of water?" I asked curiously

While laughing the blob of water answered

"ahahaha you sure are peculiar! You aren't even afraid of me! Why are you not afraid? Who knows? Maybe I eat souls just like yours you know?"

(well considering how I already died once and I almost got killed by someone who was supposed to be the holiest angel… although I don't want to feel pain, I can do nothing if you tried to do anything to me so what do you expect?)

Reading my mind, the blob answered while laughing and bobbing up and down

"ahahaha yeah, you are right! Why would you be afraid when you already die anyway?

By the way, I pulled you here because I want to talk to you and I will give you a really good deal! How about that? Interested?"

Surprised that someone, errr something suddenly started to say that it will start a deal with me I asked.

"Alright, tell me more about it."
