Chapter 117
[A/N: Just a little bit more.]
"You will not be able to touch them. Not on earth." Father ruled.
Lucifer just stood there. He knew that was the truth. Then what was supposed to happen. Would the humans remain immortal, raining havoc on earth? Would they commit sin after sin till they achieved total destruction of earth?
"I await your command for that." Lucifer said, clueless as to what should happen.
"You have given me immense pain, Son." Father breathed, his voice heavy with grief, "But I know you want to do this for me."
"For that I am indebted to you. As a Father who has seen undivided love from his children, that is the only thing I will bless you with."
"I do not want blessings, Father. You know I never needed any."
"These are the ones you will need, Son." Father replied, "I bless thee, with children as loving as mine."
What? Did he just bless Lucifer with children? Gabriel wondered. Why? Why would he do that? Besides, who would bear Lucifer's children?
Calliope most probably, Gabriel came to a conclusion. The singing goddess was the only one who would ever really side with Lucifer openly.
"Why would I need off-springs, Father? Yours disappointed you, didn't they?"
