Chapter 815 Time To Try Something New
-----
After that talk with my daughter, we continued having breakfast and Monica and Gabriel ended joining us. Gabriel was really hungry and ate anything, so he wasn't picky or something.
Though he preferred sweets above all things, he would still eat anything else anyways. I am relieved because I really didn't know what food Angels preferred, to be honest…
He was really cute while chowing down stuff, so I ended overfeeding him a bit too many breakfast meals, which he ate without hesitation.
At the end, he ended up with a slightly bloated belly…
"Burp… That was yummy, human food is very yummy, big sis!"
His bright silver eyes shone brightly as he praised my cooking.
"I feel flattered this little angel finds it tasty."
I couldn't help but giggle a bit, he was too cute.
"But more importantly, Gabriel, do you remember anything now?" My daughter asked him.
Gabriel looked back at her and then tried to remember something while caressing his long, blonde hair. "Hmmm…"
"Maybe a way back home?" Monica asked politely.
"I do… I think I remember how to go back; I just need to fly into the skies, very high, then there's like… a membrane thingy? And finally, you can go to Heaven!"
That's quite the unclear description of a way to Heaven…
"Oh well, I hope that once you recover you can go back." Elena said slightly rudely.
"Sure! I will!" Gabriel nodded innocently. "Sorry for bothering you… I will try to not be a bother to you…"
"Hm? Ah, no, I didn't mean it like that! Y-You're not a bother…" My daughter sighed. "Come on, don't get sad."
She ended patting his head, as the angel got happy right away.
"Okay!"
He was quite simple minded, getting sad quickly but then happy just as quickly…
That only showcased a rather young mental state, filled with inexperience.
If this angel is truly the Gabriel they talked about, then he must have definitely both lost his powers and memories to the point of regressing to a much younger self.
I didn't know Angels were like that to begin with, it just shows that their existences and perhaps their biochemistry is completely different than most living beings.
It's rather fascinating to learn more about them, I have to admit it.
"Anything else?" I wondered. "Like whom were these demons attacking you? And are they nearby by any chance?"
"Oh!" Gabriel suddenly seemed to remember something. "Right… They have been growing stronger since that event where a lot of Mana emerged into the world… But there was another reason why they were here."
"Why?" I wondered.
"Hmm, it was something about… A "Special Event" they were talking about." He said. "Err, something about the awakening of their lord? And that this city and the nearby ones were a "focus point" for some reason, weird…"
"Eh? A focus point?" I wondered. "But why? And their lord awakening… You mean the King of all Demons?"
"Something like that!" Said Gabriel. "I do remember something else now! Some Angel friends had told me before that the Demons had made a pact with otherworldly demons! And that was why they were so excited. Because somehow these otherworldly demons were going to bring back the king! In here!"
"What?! In here? Why here?" I asked rather shocked.
"I dunno… I think there might be more Angel squadrons sent by Heaven around the area." Said Gabriel. "The Demons are gathering quickly, but they also said some areas are highly protected, this area in specific was hard for them to get through!"
"Wait, wait, this is a bit too much to process at once…" My daughter sighed. "This probably means more Demons might appear… What a pain."
"I don't understand well, but perhaps they're referring to Arcadia? That is the world that connected to this one, right?" Monica asked.
"Yeah…" I nodded. "Gabriel, did you know what this Lord is?"
"Hmmm, I do remember that the King of all Demons was once an Angel." He said. "Lucifer or something was his name… But that happened a while ago."
"Lucifer…" I wondered. "That is a name I never thought to belong to the real deal… But could it be related with the Demon King of the End?"
"Demon King of the End?" Wondered Gabriel. "Who's that?"
"It is… Well, it is the origin of the otherworldly Demons powers, or something. There's also the Demon king of Death, our primary enemy, and the one that has been summoning monsters to Earth lately." I explained to him.
"W-Weird… I never heard of such Demon Kings before." Gabriel was shocked. "Ugh, I wish I could communicate with my fellow angels, but with my halo damaged and with a missing wing, I really can't…"
"That's sad, we should do everything we can to help you recover." My daughter said. "Like that, you'll go back home and report this news to your fellow angels, so they could prepare better."
"Yeah, but it is hard to recover…" Gabriel lamented. "I can do the dishes maybe that help a bit!"
He quickly started doing the dishes once he said that…
"There's a lot to unpack here…" My daughter sighed. "But I'm a bit curious about something he said."
"What is it?" I asked.
"He said something about this place being special?" Asked Elena. "What does that means?"
"Gabriel?" I asked him.
"Oh! That is because this neighborhood has been enchanted by a very powerful divine and spiritual essence. It is become some sort of Domain. I think this is your doing, right?" Asked Gabriel.
"Domain?!" I was shocked by his words. "Wait, my doing? I did it? I've only been spreading my roots around the house for now to expand my senses…"
"Well, with all the power you've been gaining lately, even that little action will have huge repercussions around you." The Great Spirit said. "Also everywhere you've fought before, you left behind your roots and plants too, right? It all has become connected to your home, so it is slowly expanding your Domain."
"Interesting… I was thinking about making it larger though." I said. "Like maybe try to create things similar to the buildings of the Forest of Beginnings here? Or further expand my Soul and Spirituality around."
"Hey, that would work too! How about we give it a try?" The Great Spirit seemed ready. "You've grown strong enough in here."
