When Kokabiel heard this magnificent and immense voice, his will was already on the verge of collapse.
However, this was not caused by spiritual contamination or confusion.
Rosen merely spoke using the tone of the God of the Bible of this world, and used a portion of her power to perform the act of speaking.
Yet, this alone caused Kokabiel's brain to turn into a mess of paste due to his own internal reasons!
Impossible!
This is impossible!
God is clearly dead, so why can he still hear His voice?
As one of the most senior Fallen Angels executives, Kokabiel had personally experienced God's gaze when he was still an Angel.
As the saying goes: the deeper the love, the sharper the hate.
Often, those who understand God best are not those closest to Him, but those who hate His existence the most.
And the Fallen Angels executives were precisely the group who least revered God.
Kokabiel didn't know what the other Fallen Angels thought, but he knew clearly that he was the happiest one when he heard the news of God's death.
Yet, how could the fact that He had been dead for hundreds of years—a consensus among all high-level deities—possibly be false?!
"It seems you are unwilling to accept reality. In that case, let me help you remember."
As the words fell.
Rosen extended his right hand toward Kokabiel.
The sacred majesty completely enveloped him, and in that instant, Kokabiel understood that the young man before him was the genuine God!
Absolutely no being in this world could successfully impersonate Him!
After all, His appearance and tone could be imitated, but this power was utterly impossible to fake!
In other words, the being who possesses this power is the God of the Bible Himself!
"It seems you fully know who I am now."
Rosen chuckled softly.
"I recall you just mentioned that you had fought me before?"
"Since that's the case, I'll give you one more chance. If you can withstand one strike from me, I can let you live."
Hearing this, Kokabiel's previously frenzied eyes instantly became exceptionally clear.
His body was trembling incessantly like a sieve.
The arrogance he displayed earlier was completely gone from his face.
Before Rosen, Kokabiel was now like an ant.
"What? You won't agree?"
Rosen still wore a smile on his face.
Who would willingly fight God!
I was just joking before, trying to boost my own prestige!
He had indeed "fought" God before, but it was the kind where he stealthily threw a Light Spear from hundreds of miles away and then immediately ran off.
If he truly faced God head-on, wouldn't he be seeking death?
Moreover, let alone him alone, even if Azazel, Barakiel, and all the other Fallen Angels executives joined forces, they absolutely would not be God's match!
After they betrayed Heaven and fell, they didn't dare linger in the human world. Instead, they went to the Netherworld and found an empty area which they named "Grigori."
To put it plainly, they used the barrier established by the Devils in the Netherworld to prevent Heaven from settling scores with them.
The Devils allowed the Fallen Angels to settle in the Netherworld for two reasons: first, the Fallen Angels' power was only slightly weaker than theirs, and taking them down would incur heavy losses; second, they could temporarily form an invisible alliance with the Fallen Angels to jointly resist the Heavenly faction led by God.
The situation back then was not like it is today.
Nowadays, Devils, Fallen Angels, and Heaven stand in equal opposition.
But when God was alive, Heaven completely suppressed the two major factions, the Devils and the Fallen Angels, giving them no chance to develop whatsoever.
Therefore, asking Kokabiel to withstand one strike from God? What kind of joke is that?!
How is that different from committing suicide?!
Kokabiel even realized he couldn't escape death today and prepared to self-destruct before dying, yet Rosen merely glanced at him, robbing him of even the courage to self-destruct.
"This is truly outrageous. He wasn't this scared even when he was beaten up earlier, but now that he knows Rosen's identity, he's acting like a cat seeing a tiger."
Rias was unaffected.
Having witnessed the scene before her, she was extremely surprised by Kokabiel's attitude.
At the same time, she roughly understood just how high God's status was in the past.
From his previous words, it wasn't hard to tell that Kokabiel had no fear of the Devil King, even wanting to challenge the Devil King of the Netherworld, yet after seeing Rosen's true identity, he didn't dare resist at all.
That is the difference!
[Fallen Angel: A cat seeing a tiger? This is clearly a Paramecium seeing a Divine Dragon! A mere Fallen Angel isn't even a hair in front of the Boss!]
Rias: "???"
When did someone start the live stream?
Oh, it's Rosen.
Thinking about it, it was normal.
If he didn't start the live stream now to show the chat group members what's happening, wouldn't he be wasting the feature?
[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "Fallen Angels... why don't they have wings?"]
[Dokushima: "The wings were torn off. Those black clumps on the ground are them."]
[I Dont Want to Eat Monsters: "Oh, so that's what happened. Never mind then."]
[Avenger: "...Seems I arrived late. I missed the most important part."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "That's probably because the live stream just started."]
[Fallen Angel: "Fallen Angels should be killed! Ground to dust! They are a bunch of bastards worse than Devils!"]
[Magic Old Man: "You seem to hold a deep grudge against Fallen Angels?"]
[Magic Old Man: "And speaking of which, aren't you a Fallen Angel?"]
[Fallen Angel: "What are you talking about! I am a proper, pure-blooded Angel! Those Fallen Angels whose wings turned into black charcoal aren't fit to be compared to me!"]
In fact, it was no wonder Gabriel was so agitated.
Although Angels are generally gentle and refined, that is only toward their own kind.
Fallen Angels are beings who betrayed God, fell, and even raised a rebellion against Heaven. As an Angel, Gabriel naturally despises them.
[Hells Fubuki: "Too bad we didn't see the fighting process."]
[Ice Queen: "I wonder how strong that Fallen Angel is."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "There wasn't much fighting. After Mr. Rosen revealed his true identity, Kokabiel was immediately scared into a coward."]
