American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Then he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers...

Immediately, a holy white light rose from the group of people. As the light spread, the evil spirit in the darkness revealed its true form, a pitch-black creature just like Baldassar.

These evil spirits, who had smuggled themselves out of hell, seemed terrified of the pure power of the angels, and one by one turned into black smoke under the white light.

As the evil spirits vanished, the space where Mike and his group were seemed to return to the human world, and the passersby around them reappeared.

However, those passersby seemed unaware of what had just happened around them.

On the other hand, if it weren't for the lingering wails of the evil spirit Si Shi in her ears, Angela would have thought she was hallucinating.

It turns out that evil spirits really do exist in the world, and what my sister said was true.

Angela, stunned in place, was immediately lost in memories.

[Spiritual Body (Sealed)]...[Criminal Investigation Experience +86]...[Combat Experience +69]...

While the girl was lost in her memories, Mike picked up several orbs of light from her, but none of them were of much use.

Even the [Psychic Body] trait is useless to Mike; it's the kind of thing that can be discarded.

"What's wrong with you?" As the black fog dissipated, revealing the church and library, Constantine, eager to find the real culprit, called out to the stunned Angela.

"I...I'm fine..." Angela said in a daze, "I think I remember now, I used to be able to see things that others couldn't, just like my sister."

Yes, like her sister Bella, Angela was able to see the souls behind people when she was very young because of her "psychic abilities".

However, the scene was too terrifying for a child, so Angela shut herself off and intentionally forgot her abilities.

The situation just now reminded her of that memory.

“Really? It’s nothing. I could see evil spirits when I was very young…” Constantine, who had a similar experience, didn’t pay much attention to the girl’s words.

Then, led by him, the group entered the library of the glass chapel.

Because of his connection with Father Hannah, Constantine was no stranger to this place.

Before long, he found a miscellaneous book that recorded the members of Satan's family.

“Mammon… Mammon…” Constantine, turning the pages of the book, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “I found it! Mammon is Satan’s unloved youngest son, who has always been watching the human world… His special totem is exactly the same as the symbol on our hands…”

"The other side went to such great lengths; they couldn't have just wanted to kill a few mortals. They must have a bigger conspiracy..."

Having identified the mastermind, Constantine was filled with enthusiasm, muttering to himself as he continued searching through books on occultism.

"That's it, the psychic... Mammon wants to descend to the mortal realm in his true form through the psychic..."

Before long, among a pile of occult books, Constantine found the answer to his guess: "The Spear of Destiny (the Spear of Longinus) and the destined person (the medium), when combined, can open the Gates of Destiny (the Gates of Hell)..."

“I understand now!” After a brainstorming session, Constantine concluded, “I heard that the Spear of Destiny was taken to the West Coast some time ago, and Bella should be the one destined for it…”

"Your sister probably knew this, which is why she chose to jump off the roof. Without the destined person, the door of fate will not open."

Through subtle clues, Constantine almost guessed the whole truth.

“No, perhaps there is a second destined person, and that is me.” Just then, Angela spoke, her voice trembling.

Through Constantine's explanation, the girl was able to understand why her sister committed suicide.

Angela, who shares the same constitution as her sister, has a premonition that Mammon will soon come after her.

“You?” Constantine frowned, remembering that the girl had mentioned before that she could see ghosts when she was a child.

The characteristic of a psychic is that they can see the souls of the deceased.

“This is troublesome…” Constantine muttered, then paused, as if he had made up his mind, and said, “But this is good, I just need to avenge Father Hannah, how can I not see the murderer?”

After speaking, Constantine looked at Mike. With such a powerful ally by his side, he was very confident in his ability to fight Mammon.

Chapter 478 Fallen Angel

Of course, Constantine couldn't place all his hopes on Mike in order to fight against Mammon's arrival, so he planned to find Beaman to make some weapons specifically for fighting evil spirits.

Biman, an "arms dealer," was one of Constantine's collaborators.

“Let’s go. I need to prepare some things to prepare for Mammon’s arrival…” Constantine said, leading the group down to the second-floor library.

……

"Dedication and sacrifice, using one's own strength to stop the coming of evil—what precious virtues!"

In the main hall of the church on the first floor, beneath the statue of the Holy Cross, a clergyman with his back to Constantine and his entourage uttered a cryptic statement.

Behind her, a pair of blurry angel wings could be vaguely seen.

"Gabriel, you knew about Mammon all along, why didn't you stop him?" Constantine, who had just come down from the second floor, angrily revealed the other party's identity.

Gabriel's gender is unknown, but her appearance is somewhat feminine. She is one of the twelve guardian angels.

Because she had previously made things difficult for Constantine by denying him a place in Heaven, Constantine didn't have much respect for the angel before him.

"Are you referring to Bella's death? Or Mammon's arrival?" Gabriel turned around, appearing as a tall woman with a faint smile on her face. She explained, "Everything in the world operates according to its own laws, which even I cannot change. Moreover, sometimes sacrifice is necessary..."

The job of angels is to guide humanity toward good, but their bottom line is that they cannot change humanity's own will.

No matter how powerful the angel is, it's not allowed; this seems to be a "rule".

"You admit you stood by and did nothing?" Constantine realized that Gabriel did indeed know Mammon's plan, and must also know that Mammon had harmed Bella and Father Hannahsi.

This inaction made Constantine increasingly unhappy with Gabriel's attitude, and he complained, "You're still so hypocritical!"

“No, no, this is not hypocrisy, it is respecting the laws governing the workings of all things…” Gabriel was not angry, and still had a faint smile on his face. He looked at Constantine meaningfully and said, “Although I don’t know how your body was cured, with your current cynical attitude, you still won’t be able to go to heaven many years later.”

Angels who protect humanity in place of God also have the right to judge human "good and evil".

For humans, "good and evil" are the criteria that determine whether a person can go to heaven in the afterlife.

Although Gabriel did not say it explicitly, his intention to use his power to intimidate Constantine was obvious; he was subtly pressuring him.

"F**K, heaven!!!..." Sure enough, Constantine was blown away, and the birds began to sing and flowers bloom.

He hadn't forgotten how humble he had been in his quest for a spot in heaven, only to ultimately fail to secure one.

However, Constantine quickly realized he still had at least twenty years to live, so he calmed down considerably. Then, without a care in the world, he flashed Gabriel a friendly gesture and sneered, "To hell with heaven!"

Even if he were to go to hell, that would be more than twenty years from now. Rather than continuing to suffer in vain for a spot in heaven, Constantine chose to enjoy himself first.

"You're blaspheming! You'll never go to heaven in your next life!" Gabriel's smile finally crumbled.

But what can be done? Angels are limited by "rules" and cannot directly "harm" humans.

However, Gabriel, unwilling to suffer any loss, glanced around at Mike and his group before finally fixing his gaze on Angela behind them, and said, "You want to stop Mammon's arrival? I have a way..."

"That means letting that girl die first, so that without a medium, the demon cannot be born..."

"If sacrificing just one person could save many, what would you choose?"

Seemingly finding this amusing, Gabriel's smile returned.

However, no matter how you look at that smile, it has a slightly wicked feel to it.

"I..." The pressure was on Angela, who, as an ordinary person, did not have the awareness of her own sister.

The girl even developed a strange paranoia, fearing that Mike and his group would "sacrifice" her for the sake of "greater good."

Seeing Gabriel's wicked grin and feeling annoyed by his rudeness, Mike remarked, "Some people seem to have gotten used to being high and mighty; they seem unable to understand the hardships of life..."

Compared to the "playful" Angel No. 1, Gabriel seems to take his "manager" role more seriously.

This is also her "weakness".

Gabrielle's years as a "manager" have exposed her to too much of humanity's dark side, and because of the "rules," she is unable to change this situation.

Therefore, the less she could change humanity, the more Gabriel wanted to "manage" humanity, which had become a kind of obsession for her.

This obsession led her step by step into the abyss.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem of the people who caused it.

Ultimately, Gabriel chose to cooperate with the devil to "cleanse" the human world; without humans, there would be no problem.

And the partner she chose to collaborate with was none other than Mammon, Satan's restless youngest son.

[Fallen Angel (Trait)]...[Faith Power +666]...[Fallen Power +999]...[Curse Power (Trait)]...

The countless orbs of light indicated that Gabriel had deviated from its course and was heading towards darkness.

“I smell a familiar scent on you. Which angel’s servant are you?” Gabriel looked at Mike cautiously.

The angels who protect humanity each have their own jurisdiction.

If Mike is indeed an underling of other angels, it suggests that Gabriel's "ulterior motives" may have already been noticed by his other "colleagues."

This is not a good thing for Gabriel.

"Fallen angel? Its purity is just so-so~" Mike didn't answer the other party's question, but instead calmly commented on Gabriel.

Gabriel, who possesses both the power of faith and the power of corruption, is perceived by Mike to be weaker than Angel Number One.

This makes the angel who's about to cause trouble look a bit like a "clown".

“I know all your plans, so what are you going to do?” Seeing the angel’s expression turn cold, Mike decided to add fuel to the fire.

Mike's original plan was to quietly follow Constantine and eventually meet Satan.

But Gabriel's attitude disrupted his plans.

However, the current situation is not bad. Gabriel is Mammon's collaborator, and as long as we can get hold of Gabriel, we can see Mammon.

And since Mammon is Satan's youngest son, Mike doesn't believe that Satan won't appear if Mammon is captured.

Therefore, Mike changed his plan on the spot, choosing to confront Gabrielle directly and then gradually reveal the person behind her.

“You’re provoking an angel…” Gabriel’s face grew increasingly grim. “Are you ready to face my wrath?”

The angel, whose plan had been exposed, suddenly pulled out a spearhead that looked like a dagger from his body, and flashed in front of Mike to launch a sneak attack.

As a holy angel, Gabriel could not "harm" humans, but fallen angels are not subject to such restrictions.

Gabriel had already decided that after killing the suspicious man, Mike, he would immediately use the Spear of Destiny and the Man of Fate to summon Mammon.

Then turn the human world into a purgatory, and conveniently join the dark side.

However, her plan seemed to encounter an unexpected problem at the very first step.

"How is this possible?" Gabriel looked at the Spear of Destiny that had been launched in his hand and was now being held by the young man in front of him, and immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

This is the Spear of Destiny, stained with the blood of Jesus. Its blade carries endless curse power, and even angels would be pierced by its tip.

However, the young man in front of him easily caught this cursed weapon without even piercing his palm.

……

Chapter 479 The Devil Comes

"What's the big deal? You're just not experienced enough." Mike shook his head, pulled his arm and pushed off with his feet at the same time.

Due to inertia, Gabriel's body first leaned forward, and then he was violently kicked away.

"I don't believe it, it's all an illusion~" The disheveled Gabriel was kicked away and it took him a while to get up. He was met with Mike's calm expression.

That posture seemed to be mocking the opponent for being too weak.

"Even the number one archangel shouldn't have this kind of power..." The unknown fear caused Gabriel's mentality to become unbalanced and he turned completely evil.

Countless black wisps gathered around her, eventually transforming into a pair of enormous black wings.

The Spear of Destiny, which had been thrown to the ground, seemed to be drawn back to Gabriel's hand by the black mist.

Meanwhile, the screaming beetle that Constantine carried on his body frantically emitted warning alarms.

This insect is the "Indestructible Beetle" that Constantine obtained from the ancient Egyptian pyramids; its sole purpose is to detect evil forces.

“Mike, be careful, her evil power is now unpredictable!” Constantine was also startled by Gabriel’s change.

This was the first time the screaming beetle on his body had emitted such a loud warning sound.

"No problem, I can handle things here. You take care of yourself first!" Mike glanced at Constantine, who had just been blown to the ground by the condensed black energy, then turned back and beckoned to the corrupted Gabriel with a nonchalant gesture.

To be honest, Mike hasn't really encountered any real opponents since he became "Invincible." Gabriel looks pretty strong right now, so maybe he can get some playing time.

"You're looking for something~"

Gabriel had always been high above everyone else, looking down on all living beings. This was the first time he had been treated so arrogantly by others.
