Chapter 33 is far from God, but not close to man either.
Upon hearing Medici's words, Urolius nodded without hesitation and followed Medici, the two of them walking towards the sun god together.
Not only them, but also the three angels Feng Zhibai, upon sensing the arrival of the Sun God, naturally stopped chatting and went to their Lord.
With all the angel kings under his command gathered, the Sun God stopped rubbing his temples, smiled at the angels, and said, "Let's go to the banquet hall."
The group then arrived at the entrance to the banquet hall. The doors, which had been tightly closed, seemed to sense their arrival and opened automatically at that moment.
Then, the next second, accompanied by a "bang bang bang" sound, countless flashy sequins fell from above their heads like snow, and a red carpet suddenly appeared at everyone's feet, rushing all the way from the entrance to the end of the banquet hall.
Such a commotion naturally drew everyone's gaze to the far end, and then everyone fell silent. At the far end hung a red banner with a large line of large characters:
"Warmest congratulations to the heroic father, the Sun God, on the birth of his three sons!!!"
Sun God: ...
The two angels, Wind and Wisdom: !!!
Ulorius: ...?
Medici and Osekus, who had anticipated this, turned their heads away or covered their mouths, trying their best not to laugh out loud.
Sasriel's gaze wandered.
But this was not the end, because then a loud melody rang out, the sound of a suona, which effectively jolted the stunned crowd back to their senses.
Everyone immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw three young children walking out from the corner. They were wearing matching white robes, with small white wings on their backs, different colored halos on their heads, and each holding a musical instrument.
Behind them followed a string of little angels that looked like phantoms or puppets, filling the entire banquet hall and leaving no escape for anyone inside.
The instrument in the hand of the leader was unfamiliar to most people, but it was clear that the sound had come from that instrument.
Indeed, the little angels who appeared at this moment were none other than Rosen and his two companions. They walked leisurely towards the people of the Sun God while playing their instruments. It was clear that Rosen and Amon looked quite happy, while Adam seemed a little uncomfortable.
After performing a piece imbued with religious themes, Rosen snapped his fingers, and the instruments in the hands of the three men seamlessly switched to three different instruments, each bearing a word that, when put together, read:
"You are the best, father!"
At that moment, the phantom angels also raised up signs filled with praise for the sun god.
Sun God: ...
Thank you, but I don't really need such praise.
Although he wouldn't call himself socially anxious, at this moment the sun god was genuinely a little socially anxious, and he fell silent.
Rosen, who was also socially awkward but made others socially awkward, snapped his fingers again. The three signs transformed into points of light and disappeared. Rosen then opened his arms with a bright smile and said, "Won't you give your dear children a hug, Father?"
It's hard to say what the Sun God was feeling at that moment. Anyway, for some reason, He thought of a long, long time ago, when He was still a mortal. Occasionally, He would face some life-threatening situations and then receive a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment for free.
"Lord, don't keep the children waiting too long," Sasriel's gentle voice rang out at that moment.
The Sun God glanced at his usually trouble-free incarnation, and seeing the gloating in the other's eyes, he sighed.
So, it turns out that we've been giving Sasriel too much work lately?
Thinking this, the Sun God looked at Rosen, who was still waiting for Him.
The young son of God was incredibly lively and cheerful, showing no embarrassment at the silence. Instead, he tugged at Adam, who was clearly very uncomfortable, reminding him that he couldn't escape reality.
The sun god sighed, then half-squatted down, opened his arms, and embraced all three children. After holding them for a few seconds, he released them and said:
"What a pleasant surprise!"
To his surprise, His humanity became much more active.
"That's called being down-to-earth. If you've been a god for too long, you should start to act like a human being too, right?" Rosen said with a grin.
"I think you just want to see everyone make a fool of themselves," Amon expressed his opinion.
Adam lowered his head, perhaps out of embarrassment.
"But you had a lot of fun too, didn't you?" Rosen glanced at him; besides him, Amon was the most enthusiastic one.
"Because it's really interesting." Amon raised his hand to push up his monocle and smiled.
Adam seemed to have finally recovered, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid only you guys would find this amusing."
The sun god then stood up again, looked at his vice-ruler, and said helplessly, "You didn't say it was such a surprise."
Although Sasriel had informed Him in advance that the three little ones had prepared a surprise for Him, he hadn't actually said what kind of surprise it was.
"If I explained it all, it wouldn't be a surprise." Sasriel wasn't guilty at all. As the incarnation of the sun god, although he obeyed the sun god in all important matters, he naturally had his own little acts of rebellion from time to time.
After a pause, Sasriel whispered, "And being human does feel pretty good, doesn't it, Lord?"
The sun god did not deny it; His gaze fell on the banner not far away, and at that moment He thought of many things.
He had indeed been floating in the sky for far too long, and had almost forgotten what it was like to be human.
"But while this is indeed quite far from God, it doesn't seem that close to humans either..." The Sun God thought to himself, his gaze falling on the angels whose eyes were darting around, their expressions surprised, clearly still not fully recovered. He coughed lightly, and after bringing them back to their senses, he gestured to the three little ones and introduced them:
"These are Adam, the angel of imagination; Rosen Nicholas, the angel of life; and Amon, the angel of time, my children."
Angel of Life? What a straightforward name. And if I'm the Angel of Life, what about the Staff of Life...? Rosen thought to himself, but he didn't mind using that title. So he greeted the various angel kings warmly, "Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you all!"
Regardless of what the angel kings were thinking at that moment, they all began to introduce themselves.
After everyone introduced themselves, they all gathered together to chat. The Sun God didn't interfere, knowing that everyone needed time to process what had just happened.
After the others left, Amon nudged Rosen on the shoulder and whispered:
"...Why are you an angel of life?"
"I don't know!" Rosen shrugged, then smiled and said, "Maybe it's because you already have the name of the Angel of Time? Why don't you let me have it?"
"I don't want to." Amon immediately refused. He liked the name Angel of Time very much and was unwilling to give it to Rosen.
"Alas, my biased father, my helpless older brother, and my indifferent younger brother, my life is truly miserable!" Rosen sighed dramatically, his gaze sweeping across the banquet hall. He had finally managed to meet many of the Angel Kings, and he was determined to get to know them properly.
