I let the genie out of the bottle

All the angels were fully aware of these things and had no complaints—if they did, they would have long since fallen from their angelic status and become part of the fallen angels mingling in the underworld.

Then, Gabriel's spirit slowly spread outwards, enveloping the entire city and monitoring the whole of Sodom. After all, Lu Ye had just said he was going to rest, so she naturally had to prevent any unexpected situations from arising.

A few minutes later, Gabriel frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face.

Then, the entire city of Sodom slowly became noisy.

“These misguided humans…” The beautiful angel sighed softly and shook her head. “Since you have made up your minds to go down the evil path, it is only natural that you should be punished by the Lord.”

Although she has a gentle personality, on some issues, all angels are equal. Or rather, they inherit the concepts and practices of the "Lord".

A short while later, a violent banging came from Lot's door. A series of rude shouts also came from outside.

People from all over the city gathered in front of Lot's house, plotting something sinister.

“My lords, please rest here. You can leave these matters to me as your servant.”

Outside the room, Lot knocked on the door and spoke in a forced, calm voice.

His voice betrayed a palpable fear and anxiety. Even so, he still wanted the two angels to rest peacefully in their room, unseen by the rest of the city.

In his view, everyone in the city, except for his own family, was morally corrupt, worshipped evil, and had gone astray. If the two angels were to appear before them, they might plot against them.

Upon hearing Rhodes' voice, Gabriel, who was just about to go out and resolve the matter, immediately showed a conflicted expression. She then glanced at Lu Ye and ultimately abandoned her plan to act immediately.

Then, she spoke solemnly, her voice melodious yet authoritative.

“Lot, Abraham’s nephew, do as you wish, and the glory of the Lord will shine upon you.”

In this city, only Lot's family remained morally upright. But even so, he still had to undergo some tests.

Lot cautiously opened the door and looked outside. He saw a dense crowd of people everywhere, seemingly from all over Sodom, young and old alike. This sight weighed heavily on his heart.

In particular, he discovered that several humans possessing immense power obtained from demons were also outside. Although Rhodes possessed considerable power, he didn't know how to use it, making it difficult for him to fully utilize it. Even so, his strength was comparable to that of some of the most outstanding among those who had obtained power from demons.

Before this, he had been able to live peacefully here because he possessed a certain amount of power, making those evil people feel that it wasn't worth opposing him. But now, so many people were gathered in front of his house, seemingly determined to cause him trouble. Or rather, to make things difficult for the two angels.

"I wonder what brings you all here?" Lothar took a deep breath to calm his nerves and looked at the crowd outside.

“Lot, I heard that two angels came to your house today.”

Outside the door stood a burly man, shirtless. Years ago, he had witnessed angels battling demons. Later, when demons came to Sodom, he was fortunate enough to gain power from them. However, he was not satisfied and desired even greater power.

"Bring those two angels out so we can see them."

The burly man glanced toward Lot's house and spoke, his tone filled with ill intent.

Sodom is a city filled with sin, not only because its people possess power derived from demons and fallen angels, but also because its inhabitants are addicted to homosexual pornography.

Lu Ye and Gabriel arrived in the city in the form of angels, and when they entered Lot's home, they too came into the sight of others. However, to those who did not possess sufficient power, the image of an angel seemed closer to neutral or masculine.

Therefore, the purpose of these people outside is to insult the two angels, to please the devil while enjoying pleasure, and to gain more power from the devil's hands.

Rhodes frowned slightly, looked at the crowd outside the door, then went out with a wary expression and closed the door behind him.

The power within him, derived from the Bible system, slowly began to activate, and he was indeed prepared to fight to the death against the outsiders.

In his view, even if he were to die, he absolutely could not allow the two angels who represented the Lord to be dishonored.

“My brothers, you must not do this evil,” Lot admonished.

Then, he gritted his teeth slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said something surprising.

“I have two daughters, who are still virgins. Let me bring them out and let them do as they please. But since these two have come to my house, do not do anything to them.”

"Get out of my way, Rhodes." The burly man looked impatient and suddenly reached out and shoved Rhodes.

Caught off guard, Rhodes was pushed back a few steps and slammed heavily against the door with a loud bang.

"We don't want your daughter, we only want those two angels who came to your house this evening, those two handsome men." Behind the handsome man, who was shirtless, someone shouted, "Lot, why are you protecting them? What good could they possibly offer you?"

Then, a group of people who had been surrounding him rushed forward and attacked Lot, trying to open the door.

Gabriel, who was in the room, frowned slightly, then raised his hand and waved it gently. The door to Rhodes’ house opened instantly, and Rhodes’ figure flew back uncontrollably into the room.

Then, the door slammed shut with a bang, locking all the villains outside.

The wicked men of Sodom, harboring ulterior motives, were naturally unwilling to give up. Each of them wanted to force open the door and pour their filthy desires toward the angels inside.

Gabriel frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face. For her, eliminating those people outside would be an easy task.

However, she ultimately did not take direct action, but instead used a suggestive spell to make the group of people go home on their own.

"Who else do you have here? Your sons-in-law, your children, and all your people in this city—you must take them out of this place." Before Lot, still in shock, could say anything, a voice rang in his ears, "We will destroy this place. For the evil voice of the city is very loud in heaven, so we have come to destroy this evil Sodom."

Gabriel cast a spell on Lot to prevent him from being discovered by those with ill intentions, and sent him to the house of his married daughter to warn her and her husband that the Lord was going to destroy the city and that they should leave Sodom immediately. However, his daughter and husband thought he was joking.

"Lot, it is dawn."

The next morning, Lu Ye spoke directly to Luo De.

"Let's leave now. We're going to wipe out this city. You need to leave as soon as possible to avoid being caught up in this heavy burden of sin and losing your life in this city."

“My two honorable angels,” Lot said with a bitter expression, still seemingly hesitant, “I have a daughter and son-in-law in this city, and I cannot abandon them.”

Last night he went to persuade his daughters and sons-in-law to leave Sodom, telling them that the city was about to be destroyed. However, none of his daughters and sons-in-law believed him and refused to leave.

Only Lot's two unmarried daughters, who still lived with him, saw the two angels come to their house and knew that Lot's words were true.

Lu Ye didn't say anything about Rhodes's concern. He simply snapped his fingers, and Rhodes, his wife, and their two unmarried daughters immediately started walking forward uncontrollably, heading directly towards the city gate.

His purpose in saving those who "believe" is to save those who do not. Those who do not believe are outside his sphere of salvation. This makes no difference whether it is Lu Yi, Gabriel, Michael, or even the God of the Bible himself who comes.

"Run for your life! Don't look back, and don't stop on the plains." When they reached the gates of Sodom, Lu Ye said with a relaxed expression, "Run up the mountain to avoid being wiped out."

“My lord, do not do this, for your servant has found favor in your sight. You have shown me great mercy and saved my life.”

By this time, Lot knew that he could do nothing about his married daughter and son-in-law, so he had no choice but to give up.

“I cannot flee to the mountains, for they are too far away. I fear that before I reach them, disaster will befall me and I will die. Behold, there is a small and nearby town that is easy to reach. Is it not small? Please allow me to flee there, and my life will be saved.”

“Yes, I agree to this.” Lu Ye nodded gently. “I will not overthrow the land you mentioned. You must flee to that city quickly. I will not bring disaster before you arrive there.”

When Lot arrived at the city, the sun was just rising, and its bright rays bathed the earth. But in an instant, the sky was overcast again.

It was a gray expanse tinged with a dark red, reminiscent of half-burnt, withered wood, and the pungent smell of sulfur slowly permeated the air. Both the beasts on the ground and the birds in the sky were restless and desperately fled the place, foreshadowing a great catastrophe.

The power that Lu Ye wields to bring down sulfur and heavenly fire originated from the Sodom incident. Now, however, he is using this power to orchestrate the Sodom incident.

Thinking of this, a subtle and strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

However, he quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and resolutely unleashed his power.

Even in Sodom, despite the unusual weather, people remained indifferent, continuing their decadent and self-indulgent lives.

Amidst the revelry, sulfur and heavenly fire suddenly descended.

Chapter 51 Destroyed by Flames and Sulfur

In the wilderness of Sodom and the surrounding cities, the sky above was overcast, faintly revealing an ominous dark red hue, like a crimson sunset or dried blood.

The pungent smell of sulfur and the scorching heat of flames permeated the air.

The sky seemed to have cracked open.

The four ancient cities, including Sodom and Gomorrah, which had fallen under the temptation of demons and fallen angels, stood like a few lonely saplings on a vast grassland under the crimson sky, seemingly about to be uprooted by the gale at any moment.

Sodom, Gomorrah, and two other corrupt and sinful cities are located near the infamous Salt Sea, also known as the Dead Sea. Normally, the air is always thick with the salty stench of the sea. But now, sensing the sulfurous and fiery aroma, one can't help but yearn for that familiar, salty scent.

"What...is that?" In Sodom, someone sniffed blankly, looked up, and then froze, feeling the sulfurous smell filling their nostrils.

The sky seemed to have cracked open.

The clouds overhead seemed scorching hot, truly fiery clouds. There appeared to be terrifying black cracks in the sky, from which crimson light surged, staining the sky and the earth, as if the air itself was gradually turning into scorching magma, transforming into a scene of purgatory.

"God—" someone lamented.

Even though they had long been tempted by the devil and gone astray, contradicting God's teachings, upon seeing this scene, they still couldn't help but call out God's name, longing to be saved.

However, this is no longer possible.

Those who are guilty should be punished.

Lu Ye had seventy-two large wings spread behind him, a bright halo above his head, and a majestic face looking down at the people below.

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

Looking down at the bewildered and terrified crowds in the various cities below, Lu Ye declared indifferently.

The vast number of humans are like ants whose nest has been flooded with water.

"what is that?"

Some people are confused.

"The sky has turned red!"

Some people were horrified.

"This is punishment! This is punishment!"

Some people were filled with remorse and wept bitterly.

"God! God! We have realized our sins! Please forgive us!"

Someone was praying loudly.

"Save us! Save us! Fallen Angel! Demon! Save us!"

Some people frantically prayed, be it a demon or a fallen angel, anything that could save their lives.

Even before destruction struck, people were already filled with fear and pleading.

However, Lu Ye paid no attention to any of the confessions or pleas.

He looked indifferently at the crowd below and the four neighboring city-states, his hands suddenly clenching.

Lu Ye used fire and sulfur to destroy the sinners in these cities, not because of their sins.

Simply because it was a city that deserved to be destroyed. Whether it was guilty or not was irrelevant to him.

He knew in his heart and acknowledged that the humans below were actually his fellow human beings.

However, even so, he would still unhesitatingly bring down destruction in order to benefit himself.

"It's raining."

Below, someone looked up and stared blankly at the sky.

Yes, it did rain. But the rain was red, and it was torrential. It was a scorching shower of meteors.

The cracks in the sky grew wider and wider, like shattered glass, from which an endless rain of meteors seemed to burst forth with astonishing force, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

“Your sins are great. In the name of Metatron, I will send down sulfur and fire to destroy you.”

Lu Ye declared in a stiff tone, his voice like a thunderclap from a clear sky, echoing in the sky, across the plains, and through the city, reverberating in the ears of everyone below.

Even as meteors rained down from the sky, whistling and roaring, and countless people wailed, prayed, and cursed, their clamor blending together, this sound, this judgment, still clearly reached everyone's ears.

Whether they were hiding at home or wandering the streets, whether they were weeping and begging or cursing, they all fell silent in an instant, their mouths agape, their expressions filled with fear.

Even Rhodes, who had already escaped Sodom, instinctively opened his mouth wide in fear, his soul nearly leaving his body, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

The poor man, who had barely escaped with his life, quickly steadied himself and, with his wife and two daughters, hurried toward the city of refuge he had chosen. Then, bewildered and terrified, he looked up at the crimson sky above, a sight that instinctively instilled despair.

He knew that even after ten or a hundred years, this terrible scene of destruction would be etched in his heart, reminding him of the consequences of going astray.

“Lord—”

Lot spoke hesitantly, with a sigh.

He wanted to turn around and take a look at the current state of his home.

However, remembering the warnings from the two respected angels that he must never turn back, he ultimately dismissed the idea with fear and repented for his disrespectful thought.

He felt the earth tremble beneath his feet from time to time, and behind him came a howling sound like the wrath of the heavens. All he could see at that moment was the sky above him, which was like flames or dry blood.

Several cities, once rife with sin and overflowing with rampant desire, now boast an extravagant and dazzling prosperity. But this glamorous landscape has been reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

Wailing cries, howling flames, and howling winds filled the air in these neighboring cities. Large plumes of fire and lava rained down from the sky, occasionally producing deafening roars.

In addition to the smells of sulfur and heat, other odors gradually appeared in the air. For example, the smell of coke, or an unusual burnt smell, and an awkward, strange aroma of roasted meat.

Under this divine punishment, all evil and prosperity turned to ashes with the meteor shower, and all the "so-called sinners" fell into hell amidst the flames and heat.

Rhodes' wife's lips trembled slightly, her face showing fear and reluctance. Leaving her peaceful home was difficult for her to accept. However, she had no choice but to accept the angel's warning and the threat of death.
