I think Azrael and God Yanluo are on to something. As soon as they’re back, Sariel is going to be tied up for a while…

Even with his brother's return and a resurgence of his own strength, he knows what battles he can pick. And so, Ba'al issues a warning to Heaven and the angels involved. Never again will he allow himself or his family to be fucked with.

“It seems an excellent time to announce that I only like men.”

I will let them fight over who gets to hold the new baby first and Jialun and I will quietly keep Minghao to ourselves. 🤣

Sorry, Yichen. Sorry, Sishen. Sorry, Yanluo. Today, Jailun brought A-Hao with him and I’ve decided I want to keep him forever.

Ah, imagine me dropping dead because I was curious.

@palpablewrath.bsky.social Precious Didi, I wasn’t sure if you wanted to adopt today as your birthday or not, but I’ve made these for you just in case

I rather like this modern realm look for myself! I’m a pretty hot grandpa, aren’t I?

@purpfairydust.bsky.social “Come, child. I’ve made lunch for you without meat.”

@palpablewrath.bsky.social “So father still speaks to you.” He nods slowly. “I understand why he wouldn’t have anything to say to me, but I don’t think Sariel and his brothers deserve this treatment. Maybe Lucifer does, but not the others.”

The urge to pick up my son and take him home, but he appears busy with some dragon.

“Azrael is a stressed out nerd. Now he just looks like it,” he chuckles as he sits and then makes his husband sit. “Ignore Sariel. He’s having a fit.”

I’m here, Didi! But Jialun says we should pretend not to know Azrael?

Going to take ibuprofen to see if it works for demons.

“Interesting. Xiao-Di, are we soon to be reunited. Gege, has missed you so…”

Well then, let’s go have that soup and you can tell me the full story. [He once again offers his hand]

Is he also bullying you? [He looks like he plans to go hit him] I’ll never understand Heaven as it is. I couldn’t understand it when I was an Angel. I don’t understand why they would punish you. To me, you’re just a poor little girl who wanted to do a good job.

Ah! You know my brother in law! [He nods] We never had an official ceremony, but I don’t think it matters. We have a son and two granddaughters now. [He gently pats her] It’s the sad truth. Heaven doesn’t like its angels to love even each other. At least children born of two angels or

It is. [He nods] Sariel received one strike with Heavenly lightning for every year of my son’s life for a thousand years as punishment for loving me. They capped the punishment at one thousand because they didn’t expect him to live as long. [He shakes his head as he wipes her eyes again]

I’m well aware of the rules and punishments, especially because 90% of them were made up on the spot after he was born. [He crosses his arms] I promised to look after you, and I will, so long as you stop speaking that way about my child. I’m sorry the two of you don’t get along.

[His smile turns into a frown] The Nephalem? I just told you his name… [He sighs and massages his temples] But at least now someone else sees why I can’t find him a consort… Aiya! Child! I said I would keep you safe and make soup for you, and I will.

Xi Bo.

There there, cheer up. You’ll like my home. I have a son around your age too. Maybe I can convince him to visit.

I’ll make it with only vegetables then.

[He offers his hand] Come, child. I will make soup for you. You’ll feel better after you eat it.

Dear child, I am King Ba’al. If you’re my guest, I’d love to see who dares harm you. In fact, I wish someone would try. It’s been a while since I’ve struck someone with lightning.

I don’t know a demon who would dare try to eat you while you’re in my domain.

Are you afraid? If it makes you feel better, Archangel Sariel is around quite a bit.

I’ll take you with me then.

// Ariel is one more crying fit away from being adopted.

Aiya, you’ve discovered my one weakness. Come now, child. No one is going to harm. They’ve got bigger problems at the moment.

Everyone is a child to me. Except for maybe a handful of angels. [He takes the handkerchief away and folds it to tuck the snot in. Then he wipes her eyes] There there. You don’t have to listen to me. It’s clear you’re terrified.

Aiya, don’t cry, child. [He gets his handkerchief] Heaven cares too much about perfection and rules. Those who are perfect and capable of following those rules are rewarded with even stricter rules to follow.

Heaven is really fickle, and I haven’t brushed up on the rules in a while, but the lady I checked, angels aren’t allowed to help animals cultivate sentience.

You’ll probably be punished by Heaven. [He says this casually as he starts to fan himself]

Transfer spiritual energy to them every day in small amounts to build and strengthen their spiritual core. Then, as they get stronger, you can either transfer more energy or take them to a place with abundant spiritual energy.

I honestly have no idea why my granddaughter is so violent…

More or less. Every existence comes with its own form of torment.

Animals can’t worship you. [He waves his hand, but then strokes his chin] Unless you fed them spiritual energy to help them cultivate human forms.

Don’t go back. Do what I did. Help a few humans here and there. Gain worshippers and watch your power grow.

It’s the disillusionment.

Aiya! Calm down, child! It’s mostly that you talk like a fallen angel.

I see. And when did you fall?

Are you new? I don’t recognize you.
