Chapter 2232: Chapter 1511 C: Twilight Grand Event (Seventeen)_1

"Gabriel couldn't comprehend my special attitude towards Lucifer. He never pondered about the fundamental reason. Every angel in Heaven believed that I favored Lucifer because he was the most perfect and powerful angel."

The voice of God reverberated through the theatre. As Shiller turned his head to look at Him, his gaze seemed to ask, "Is it not so?"

"To some extent, that was the reason, but I regarded him as my son because he is my son indeed. I am not only his God, but also his father."

"On the first day, he came to me with the first ray of light. I was with him from daylight until dusk. On the second day, I separated the sky, hence I created wings for him, letting him soar freely in the azure sky. On the third day, I gathered all waters into one place and revealed dry land. Holding his hand, I let his feet touch the ground and taught him to run."

"On the fourth day, when stars began to blink, I thought of his name. He should have both the depth of night and the brightness of light. Thus, I called him Morning Star, the first star in the sky."

"On the fifth day, I created fish and birds. I taught him how to hunt birds with an arrow and catch fish with a spear, to understand life and death. On the sixth day, I created humans in my own image, and built Eden for them."

"From then on, whenever I strolled in Eden, he would follow me. Flying through clouds, clumsily tripping over bushes, leaning against a tree with me to watch the stars, bringing me the prey he'd caught."

There was nostalgia in God's voice. He remained silent for a while before continuing, "I created Heaven to manage my creations. The angels I created with this purpose don't consider themselves as my children, they only see themselves as the guardians of this world."

"Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel think this way. Especially Michael, who prioritizes duty over their feelings toward me and my feelings toward them. They believe the best way to express their love for me is to perfectly fulfill their duties."

God looked at the image of Gabriel fleeing in a panic on the screen and said, "You might not believe it, but Gabriel truly thought a war for Lucifer was righteous. Lucifer had abandoned his duty, which in Gabriel's view, showed he didn't love me enough."

"He thinks that I favor Lucifer even though Lucifer does not love me. He sees it as the greatest sin there is. So, no matter what methods he uses to retaliate against Lucifer, Gabriel views them as justified. Even if I intervened, Gabriel would not stop."

"The responsibility you vested in them and their own emotions are in conflict," sighed Shiller. "When you created them, you expected them to fulfill their duties. So, they did as you said. However, Lucifer, the outlier among them, even if he didn't fulfill his duties, he did not get punished. He was still favored by you despite being irresponsible. It confused the others, especially Gabriel."

"His soul and blood are telling him that fulfilling his duties will earn the love of God. But the reality tells him that doing his duties doesn't really matter. All your love has gone to the prodigal son."

"In families where parents are biased, fear doesn't come from the standards the parents set but from the different attitudes the parents have when two people either meet or fall short of these standards."

"When two people have made the same mistake but only one is reprimanded, the bewilderment for the one being blamed comes from the contradiction between reality and emotional feedback. Clearly, they both made the mistake and should receive the negative feedback, however, one of them doesn't."

"The absence of fairness leads to the disbelief in standards. When you hear about a goal, the instinctual reaction is not about how to achieve it, but why should one bother achieving it?"

"Which is exactly why Gabriel has given up on himself and abandoned moral standards. What's the consequence of breaking the rules anyway? Since not breaking them won't make you like him, would you like him as much as you like Lucifer if he is as dutiful as Michael?"

"Even so, I hope you could help him," said God, opening and closing His eyes. "I know if I scold him and make him return to Heaven now, this issue would be settled. But he'd come back and each time more extreme."

"Even if I can stop him every time, I don't want him to remain this lost and in pain. However, honestly, I also don't know how to change this."

God cocked His head slightly, resting the back of his head on the theatre seat, "The deep love between Lucifer and I comes from bringing him up as the world gradually improved. We spent many wonderful moments together."

"To elaborate, children come from their mother's body and are a part of their mother's body and soul. They have a natural emotional bond. The connection between the father and child is granted by me, it is the emotion that I poured into them when I created everything. All the paternal love in this world originates from the love between Lucifer and I."

Shiller shook his head, "All unjustness also comes from you. This point cannot be changed, you don't need to change, and mankind doesn't need that either."
