Volume 4, Chapter 61 – Pulverize His Bones And Scatter His Ashes

In his memories, back when Heavenly Father was not yet Heavenly Father, he had actually been a shy young angel.

An angel who loved adventure, an angel who loved exploring the world, who loved this world from the bottom of his heart and who also loved the people who had built the Sanctuary.

Those memories back then were happy ones.

Because at that time, he was the angel who loved to laugh the most.

After that, the world fell into chaos. In the midst of war, in order to protect his people and protect this beautiful world, he had stepped forward without hesitation, and with countless like minded companions sacrificing themselves one after another, he somehow ended up becoming the savior of the entire world.

Yes.

In that very first planar war, the inexperienced angel youth turned the tide and became the savior who rescued the world.

The old king died and a new king had to rise.

Before the youth had any mental preparation at all, he became the leader of the entire Sanctuary, and amid the blessings of all the angels, the shy angel youth and the angel girl who had fought side by side with him finally married as they wished.

At that time, this angel couple who had walked out of a war that had swept across the whole world received the highest words of praise and blessing from all the angels of the Sanctuary.

Those were, for who he was now, the most precious of all his memories.

Whether it was the girl’s valiant bearing on the battlefield in the past, or the image of the two of them supporting each other in daily life afterward.

To him, those little bits of memory, day after day, night after night, were the most important treasure in his heart, something he would not allow to be tainted by any existence.

Since the boy and girl had become husband and wife, the fruit of their love appearing was only natural.

Although angels had long lifespans, bearing children was extremely difficult. Yet after hundreds of thousands of years, the two of them finally had a child of their own.

She was a child born with an adorable smile. At that time he was filled with the joy of having become a father, carefully holding the child in his arms, afraid she would cry from the slightest discomfort.

“Let me hold her. You are a grown man and have no sense of how gentle you need to be.”

His beautiful wife gave him a sidelong glare, then gently took the child from his arms.

Although he also wanted to hold the baby, because he doted on his wife, he still handed the child over to her.

For him back then, who had just become a father, his wife and his child were his most important treasures.

The young Heavenly Father had the thought of wanting to protect mother and daughter for a lifetime. For Heavenly Father at that time, after so many adventures and brutal wars, being able to have a happy home like this was the life he had dreamed of all his life.

But the world was never perfect.

Only a few days after the child was born, his wife was suddenly gravely injured for no apparent reason.

Panicking, Heavenly Father dropped everything in his hands and hurried to see his now utterly weakened wife.

“I am fine~”

Even though she was so weak, she still smiled and said words meant not to worry him.

After confirming that his wife was all right, Heavenly Father secretly began to investigate the reason behind the incident. Only a few days into his silent investigation, he discovered a truth that almost broke him.

His child possessed an Original Sin power called Pride.

And as Pride, it would absolutely never allow anyone to be its parents.

Yes, that was how unreasonable this so-called Pride was, and as Pride’s mother, the person closest to Pride was naturally rejected by Pride’s power.

Her so-called weakness was in fact because Pride was forcefully stripping away her life force.

“How could it be like this?”

When he learned the result, the Heavenly Father at that time fell into chaos.

Pride would forcibly strip away life force, and if one stayed by Pride’s side for a long time, then even a long lived angel would one day have their life force completely stripped away.

Although he could not bear to abandon the child, for Heavenly Father back then, the wife who had shared hundreds of thousands of years of mutual support with him was the most important person.

“No, we cannot. Little Lucifa is our daughter. How can you, as her father, be so heartless as to abandon her?”

For the first time, Heavenly Father was met with cold words from his always gentle and considerate wife.

But he could not blame his wife back then, so naturally, he shifted his anger onto the daughter who could not even speak yet.

And just like that, a rift between father and daughter began to form.

Day after day, year after year.

As time passed…

The wife who had once been valiant and spirited and able to fight side by side with him on the battlefield had become weaker than anyone could imagine.

And he himself, who had always loved to laugh, had stopped smiling altogether once his daughter was born.

Sometimes he would wonder whether this was punishment for him being the only one left alive after all his comrades had already departed.

“Why. Why can I not do anything at all?”

When he was alone, he would grieve and blame himself for being useless, hate himself for being able only to watch helplessly as the life force of his most important person slowly drained away.

No matter how sad he was, time kept moving on.

In the end, when his wife passed away, he still did not even get to see her one last time.

When, in a panic, feeling as if his whole world had collapsed, he rushed to the side of his wife who had already been dead for some time, he saw the scene that had enraged him most in his entire life.

That little disaster was still clinging tightly to his wife’s chest.

He did not know whether he felt anger or sorrow at that moment.

But when emotions were pushed to the extreme, he did something that now, even to this day, he deeply regretted.

“From this day on, get out of the Sanctuary.”

Yet…

Now that things had come to this, could the wife he had cherished like a treasure ever come back to life?

Time never stops and lingers for any one person, and as it passes.

Gradually, after losing the wife who had shared her life with him, the Heavenly Father became quieter, and at last he realized his mistake.

He regretted having vented all his rage on his daughter.

Yes, the pain of losing his wife was not something his daughter should have borne, and what he had been supposed to do was to succeed his departed wife and properly take care of that girl.

Once he understood that, the Heavenly Father went to find his daughter to apologize and admit his fault.

But how could a daughter whose heart had been broken by her own father easily forgive the Heavenly Father as her father?

So…

Their relationship did not mend, and seeing that he could not repair the bond between them, the Heavenly Father could only choose to protect his daughter silently.

Just as he had said before.

I will never allow anyone to harm her, not even once.

Never.

In the void, Heavenly Father at this moment had no defenses at all.

Facing a completely defenseless Heavenly Father, after hesitating briefly, the Abyssal Lord still struck out in fury.

And Heavenly Father not only made no movement to guard himself, he instead directly stood there in the void before the Abyssal Lord’s eyes and devoted himself completely to carving out the teleportation array.

At the same time as his body was pierced through by tentacles, Heavenly Father finally succeeded in activating the teleportation array.

“Heavenly Father, after taking my attack, what will you use to fight the Black Dragon King?”

“The Black Dragon King?”

Although the teleportation array had been activated, Heavenly Father, whose body had been run through by the Abyssal Lord’s tentacles, already looked utterly drained.

“I will pulverize his bones and scatter his ashes.”
