I let the genie out of the bottle

From the moment I arrived in this world, the entire world's trajectory changed completely. For example, even if a demon named "Rias Gremory" were to be born in the future of this world, she would no longer be the heroine.

If that's the case, then why should I dwell on these things?

"Even so, there should still be remnants of demons and fallen angels within Canaan." Too lazy to think about what he had just thought, or rather, feeling that his thoughts were completely meaningless, Lu Ye looked down at Michael and the other angels below the throne and asked in a leisurely tone.

“I sensed that those demons and fallen angels were tempting the Lord’s people to fall. In the land that the Lord promised Abraham and the righteous who believe in the Lord to live, demons and fallen angels have sown the seeds of evil.”

As he spoke, Lu Ye raised his hand and pointed, instantly creating a light screen in mid-air. The screen displayed a bustling city.

Here, resources are plentiful, food is abundant, and life is luxurious; people lead a life of extravagance and debauchery. Most importantly, here, it seems that all morality and laws need not be obeyed; people only need to follow their own desires.

Without restraint, the evil within humanity swelled, and wickedness and debauchery occurred one after another in this city. Furthermore, Sodom was a sexually liberated city that indulged in male lust and promiscuity, and had no taboo against same-sex relationships.

“Look, this is a city in Canaan, the result of the influence of demons and fallen angels.”

"Is this the city of Canaan, the land of abundance, flowing with milk and honey, promised to the righteous in the name of the Lord?" Many of the angels present looked ashamed as they saw the rampant evil in the city.

Angels are inherently kind mythical beings, and they naturally find it unbearable to see the sins and mutual oppression of humankind.

“The sins of Sodom and Gomorrah are so grave that I hear their accusations.”

Looking at the bustling city in the light screen, Lu Ye spoke calmly about Sodom.

The city of Sodom, both its prosperity and its sins, was captured by a group of mythical creatures in the light screen. Then the scene shifted, and the city moved from Sodom to another city, Gomorrah.

Although it was a different city, the prosperity and the crime there were pretty much the same.

“I have judged Sodom and Gomorrah guilty, and have decided to overthrow them and burn them to ashes as a warning to the ungodly in the future.”

Looking at the city in the picture, Lu Ye declared in a cold tone.

He felt no sympathy or concern for the deaths of people in a city. For Lu Ye, he was simply preparing to add another experience to his life of destroying Sodom and Gomorrah.

so......

"Gabriel, this time you will come down to the mortal realm with me to punish Sodom and Gomorrah!"

Lu Ye glanced at the many angels below and casually gave an order.

"Eh?"

P.S.: To clarify, Allah and Lord are actually interpretations of the same God... therefore, the three major religions only have one God...

Chapter 48 Getting Drunk by His Daughter?

"Your Excellency Metatron, are we now going to destroy Sodom and several other cities?"

Walking among the mortals, floating in the air and gazing at the silhouettes of several cities in the distance, Gabriel asked Lu Ye beside him.

This female angel, who held a high position in the heavens and was quite popular, had an uneasy expression on her face.

"To destroy an entire city indiscriminately?" Lu Ye folded his wings with a "whoosh," landed lightly on the ground, and turned to cast a strange look at the female angel behind him.

According to the Bible, beings like angels should not have genders. However, this is not the case in this world. Lu Ye could only attribute this to the local customs and traditions.

Judging from the way Gabriel asked Lu Ye his question, he was nervous and flustered, clearly because of his angelic kindness and his desire not to harm the innocent.

In fact, the myths of this world are much more simple and kind than those recorded in the various mythological texts that Lu Ye had read before.

"Even if it's a great flood meant to cleanse the world, it wouldn't wipe out everyone in the world, would it?" Lu Ye said calmly. "If that's the case, why are you worried that I'll clean up the entire city?"

"I...I understand." Upon hearing this reply, Gabriel visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although, in principle, they were all colleagues and their relationship shouldn't be so distant, Lu Ye had never intended to cultivate a good relationship with these so-called colleagues. After all, he neither needed to nor was interested in doing so. Therefore, their relationship remained a cold superior-subordinate one.

Since Lu Ye arrived in the Celestial Realm, the number of times Lu Ye and Gabriel have spoken alone seems to be less than five.

Having received Lu Ye's reply, Gabriel breathed a slight sigh of relief and quickly followed Lu Ye's example, folding his wings and landing on the ground.

"For Sodom, Gomorrah, and the surrounding cities, who also indulged in sexual immorality and followed perverse desires, were punished with eternal fire as a warning."

Lu Ye slowly walked forward, speaking softly to himself.

"That being said, it doesn't mean that such a large city doesn't have a single righteous person. Even when punishing evil in the name of the Lord, the innocent should not be implicated—right?"

So, while these angels and the like do represent light, do they really have to be so simple and innocent?

“Yes, it’s wonderful that you pay attention to that.” Gabriel’s face immediately lit up with joy upon hearing Lu Ye’s reply. Judging from her expression, it seemed that her previously anxious heart had finally settled down.

In other words, in your opinion, my image is that bad? He himself is also an angel... Although even Lu Ye himself doesn't necessarily identify with the identity of an angel.

However, no matter what, it is a mythical creature that represents light and justice, yet it is being suspected like this... Could it be because its "interpersonal relationships" are not very good?

Perhaps, in the eyes of Gabriel and the other angels in heaven, he was seen as cold and unapproachable.

This was after I had already demonstrated my strength; initially, my image would probably have been even worse.

Sure enough, if I have the chance in the future, I'll give Gabriel a hard time.

Lu Ye remained expressionless as he walked along the path leading to the city of Sodom, heading straight towards what appeared to be a city gate.

Along the way, he encountered many people of all kinds of professions: merchants, herdsmen, farmers... but most of them were thieves and bandits. When these lowlifes saw Lu Ye and Gabriel, they made no attempt to hide their desires; their ulterior motives were practically written all over their faces.

After easily dealing with several groups of scum, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Ye used his power to completely conceal their presence, making it difficult for most people, except for certain kind-hearted individuals, to detect them.

After all, it's quite annoying when a few guys who are obviously villains suddenly appear out of nowhere. At first, it might feel a bit novel, but it gets rather annoying after a while.

"Lord Metatron, before we settle in the city, should we search it for any traces of demons or fallen angels?"

Before entering the city, seemingly wanting to make up for his earlier slip of the tongue, Gabriel glanced at Lu Ye nervously and asked uneasily.

As an angel, although she has enough gentleness and patience for humans, she doesn't seem to show any of this patience when dealing with enemies like demons and fallen angels.

"No need." Lu Ye's expression was calm as he walked directly into the city. Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be entering a place full of luck and cunning, but rather walking into his own backyard.

"In this kind of city, both fallen angels and demons have long since left."

Lu Ye's voice was calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, making it impossible to discern his feelings about the situation. It was unclear whether he felt regret or something else entirely.

The reason why humans in cities like Sodom suddenly fell into depravity, besides their own factors, is probably mainly due to the demons of the underworld and the arrogant fallen angels.

Therefore, when Gabriel accompanied Lu Ye to the mortal realm, he had no idea how to confront the fallen angels and demons who were wreaking havoc there. Unfortunately, according to Lu Ye, the demons and fallen angels who seemed to have remained in this city had already left. Although Gabriel felt somewhat regretful about this, there was nothing he could do about it.

As for whether Lu Ye might be mistaken... Gabriel can only say that if there are fallen angels or demons in this city who can evade Lu Ye's gaze, then their strength is definitely beyond his ability to handle.

Upon entering the city, Lu Ye discovered one of his goals for coming here.

Lot was Abraham's nephew.

Although it may seem that there is no difference, Lu Ye knows that this is the guy who will be drugged and raped by his two daughters in the future. It really makes one want to criticize him.

P.S.: Regarding the three major religions mentioned earlier... Buddhism doesn't actually have a god, so it's not wrong to say that Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity all have only one god...

Chapter 49 What happened to the promise that angels don't care about material desires?

Although Sodom and Gomorrah were indeed cities of sin, having long since succumbed to the temptations of fallen angels and demons from the underworld, there was still one good man there: Lot.

Even during the great flood, one innocent person was spared. Now, even if we are to destroy this sinful city tainted by the underworld, we must rescue the good people within. Although this city is beyond redemption, there are still innocent people among its inhabitants, and naturally, they cannot be allowed to perish along with the city.

For the other angels and the like, this was done to avoid indiscriminate killing of innocents, and for the sake of their own ideals. As for Lu Ye, he was simply doing what he was supposed to do in mythology.

However, according to the Bible, the angel who descended upon Sodom and destroyed the city should have been Michael. But Lu Ye didn't care about that at the moment. Although its usefulness might not be great, these events in mythology should be considered so-called "achievements." If he had the chance to obtain it, he wouldn't refuse it.

“My Lord.” Lu Ye and Gabriel had just arrived in front of Lot when he discovered them.

As Abraham's nephew, Lot was also quite devout to the Lord under Abraham's influence. Even after he separated from Abraham, this remained unchanged.

At that moment, Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. When he saw them, he rose to greet them and bowed down to the ground.

Lot's face showed excitement, for as a believer, he was to witness the angel's form. However, there was also worry and fear, for he knew that the city of Sodom bore the marks of demons and fallen angels.

Although the fallen angels and demons had all departed, the humans here had all learned forbidden knowledge and gained evil power from those wicked beings of the underworld. Therefore, this devout believer felt a deep sense of unease about the two angels before him.

“My Lord, it is now nearly night. Please come with me to my house to rest and spend the night.”

Lot extended a sincere invitation.

Although he did not know the identities of the two angels in front of him, he worried that if others saw the two angels, they might have evil thoughts.

Therefore, he hoped to invite Lu Ye and Gabriel to his home before more people saw the two angels. He planned to send them away as soon as possible the next morning.

He had never witnessed the power of angels firsthand, but he knew that the people in this city were all inherently evil and possessed immense power derived from demons and fallen angels.

"No need, we can just spend the night on the street."

Seeing that Lu Ye didn't seem inclined to speak, but instead casually looked around the city, Gabriel spoke up to answer on his behalf.

As an angel, she had virtually no desires for material possessions, so it didn't matter to her where she stayed at night. She assumed Lu Ye was the same way.

Moreover, it was just one night in the human world; she had no need to rest.

Upon hearing this answer, Lot's expression became even more tense, or rather, distressed. He quickly spoke again, earnestly inviting advice.

Gabriel seemed a little uncomfortable with this, blinked innocently, and looked at Lu Ye.

She didn't have many opportunities to interact with human believers, so she was somewhat at a loss in this situation. As a "Great Ruler" of the Celestial Realm, if the other party harbored ill intentions, she could simply crush them with her overwhelming power. However, she was quite unaccustomed to the concern of the believers and didn't know how to react.

"Since it is your sincere invitation, we accept it. We hope it will not disturb your family."

Lu Ye withdrew his gaze and spoke to Rhodes in a gentle tone.

In this city, it seems that many people possess magical powers. Among them, the most outstanding are almost equivalent to weaker angels or demons.

This level of power is quite terrifying for humans who don't have a very broad perspective. Having witnessed that power, it's no wonder that Lot was worried about himself and Gabriel, who appeared in the world as angels.

However, Rhodes also possesses considerable power within him. Unlike the people of this city, this power stems from his devout faith, which he obtained from the celestial system. Moreover, it seems he also possesses a divine artifact.

If one can truly unleash their full potential, they might possess power that would be considered quite formidable even among angels and demons.

However, lacking proper training, he was not adept at using his strength. Otherwise, even if the entire city were to swarm him, he could guarantee his safety, or rather, his victory.

Therefore, the God of the Bible has treated humanity within his domain quite well.

It's important to understand that while Lot's faith was quite devout in this world, it wasn't the most extreme. If it were Abraham, with the power gained through the system based on his devout faith, coupled with that divine artifact later known as the "God-Slaying Tool," he would likely possess power equivalent to a Demon Lord if he unleashed his full potential.

Of course, it seems not so easy, or rather quite difficult, for a kind-hearted but limited-visioned devout believer to unleash their full power. Moreover, neither Saint nor Lu Ye had any intention of teaching believers and artifact wielders with power to tap into their own strength.

"My two angels, although Sodom is a wealthy city, my wealth is not great. I can only offer some simple food and drink. Please do not blame me."

Upon entering Lot's house, Lot hurriedly arranged for his wife and two unmarried daughters to prepare a feast to entertain the two most distinguished guests of his life.

The simple meals he mentioned were the best food he could offer. In this era, that was considered quite good.

Moreover, although Rhodes was initially quite wealthy, his kind nature made him difficult to get along with among the villains after arriving in the city, and it was only natural that his family fell into poverty.

“There’s no need for that. Food and drink are not important to us.” Lu Ye’s gentle tone gradually eased the tension in the Luo family who were dining with him. “In any case, we have already sensed your piety and goodwill from your words and actions, and that is enough.”

The Luo family naturally accepted these words wholeheartedly. However, Lu Ye himself felt that they lacked some persuasiveness.

Looking at Gabriel, whose cheeks were bulging from eating, Lu Ye felt a little embarrassed.

What happened to the promise that angels don't care about material desires?

Chapter 50 The Righteous Men of Sodom

After dinner, Lot prepared a guest room for Lu Ye and Gabriel, whom he considered angels, to rest.

It wasn't that he had any particular intentions; it's just that his family's financial situation wasn't very good at the moment, and they didn't have many extra rooms in their house. Moreover... the idea that angels have no gender is probably because humans find it difficult to grasp the concept of gender when it comes to angels.

After all, humans and angels are two completely different kinds of beings. In the eyes of demons, fallen angels, angels, or gods, Gabriel is a stunning beauty with an exceptional figure and appearance. However, from the perspective of ordinary humans, all angels probably look the same. What they notice more than their appearance is their majesty and holiness.

Although he was sharing a room with the so-called most beautiful woman in the celestial realm, after the Saints, Lu Ye had no ulterior motives. To Lu Ye, appearance and anything else were merely added bonuses. What truly mattered was what tangible benefits she could gain.

"Gabriel, I'll rest for a bit. If anything unexpected happens tonight, you're on your own." Lu Ye instructed Gabriel, taking up the only bed in the room without any hesitation.

"Yes, Lord Metatron." Gabriel's expression was gentle as he bowed slightly, his smooth golden hair shimmering softly as it fell naturally from his ears.

Even if Lu Ye hadn't spoken, she would have done it anyway. After all, Lu Ye's status was far higher than hers, so there was no reason for him to offer her better conditions or make her feel inferior. Besides, in the Celestial Realm, there was no custom of giving priority to ladies.

If Lu Ye really needs to rest, then she will naturally stay by his side to prevent any unexpected situations from arising.

Seeing Lu Ye lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Gabriel's gaze fell on the table in the room, and the lamp on the table, which contained animal oil, immediately went out.

Then, the dazzling golden halo above her head slowly faded, leaving only a faint glow. Even the light on her twelve radiant wings gradually dimmed under her control.

Whether angels, demons, or fallen angels, the concept of hierarchy is extremely strong. Although Gabriel is among the highest-ranking angels in Heaven, his status is still vastly different from that of Lu Ye, whose position is close to, or even gradually equal to, that of the Lord.

After all, in most cases, so-called angels are nothing more than servants created by God at random to serve Him.
