Heaven is good everywhere, but the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere here makes it difficult for Mike to get the energy traits he wants.
As for actively causing trouble?
Mike thought about it and gave up on this unreliable idea; after all, he was good-natured.
...
"Ahead is where God rests; after you enter, someone will specially guide you to see God." After a long time, the four-winged angel stopped in front of a remarkably beautiful hillside, indicating that his mission was complete.
All the way, this guiding four-winged angel, apart from being a bit cold in personality, was actually not bad.
Before them was a vast amusement park, almost encompassing the entire mountaintop, surrounded by giant stone pillars.
At the entrance of the park, other four-winged angels stood guard.
Mike admired the park before him, then nodded to the guiding four-winged angel and stepped inside.
"Welcome, esteemed Mr. Guest."
As soon as Mike entered the park, two graceful female angels greeted him.
They smiled and placed wreaths symbolizing friendship on Mike, then led Mike forward.
The vast park was also beautiful, a magnificent pastoral landscape, with many beautiful female angels playing and frolicking among the lawns and woods.
As Mike walked by, he occasionally heard the girls' shy or clear laughter.
This place truly lives up to its name as a paradise...
At this moment, on the plain at the top of the mountain, even more angels were gathered.
God leisurely reclined on a couch, with female angels serving him fruits and fine wine.
Next to them, a band of twelve female angels played beautiful music.
Below, a group of graceful female angels performed classical dances, showcasing classical beauty.
When Mike arrived, this was the scene he saw, which was, to be honest, a bit extravagant.
Envious...
"My friend, come and sit here."
Seeing Mike arrive, God adjusted his posture to show respect for his guest.
Soon, female angels brought chairs and low tables, along with fresh fruits and wine.
Before long, Mike was slumped in a chair just like God, letting the two female angels beside him feed him fruits and fine wine.
Dance, music, fine wine, plus beautiful angels.
It could be said: one enjoys oneself so much here that one forgets home!
"I heard you went to Hell earlier, how was it?" During a pause after a dance, God lazily opened the conversation.
Perhaps because he was on his own territory, God was very relaxed.
"Don't even mention it, the environment there was foggy and very depressing, and the demons were all fierce-looking…" Mike complained, then concluded: "In short, it's not as comfortable as staying here."
As he spoke, Mike opened his mouth again to eat a grape offered by a female angel.
Delicious... juicy...
"If you like it, you can come more often in the future. Just come and chat with an old guy like me to pass the time." God said with a smile.
God's work was actually quite boring; in Heaven, a place without disputes, many things could be left to the angels below.
Furthermore, God had no need to invade the human world, and Satan's side now had someone helping to hold him back.
This wonderful situation meant that God could only pass the time by enjoying himself every day.
"By the way, I've prepared a gift for you, I'm sure you'll like it." God gestured to an angel nearby to fetch something.
Now that Mike had confronted Satan, he had effectively become an ally of God.
In this situation, God naturally wouldn't be stingy.
Soon, two female angels returned, carrying a tray covered with silk.
"Fruit of Fortuna, irrigated by the purest Power of Faith, symbolizing beauty, luck, youthful vitality, wisdom, etc…" God introduced the contents of the tray, then said: "I don't have many of these good things here; now these two Fruits of Fortuna belong to you."
Two red apples, emitting a fresh and sweet fragrance, looked very tempting.
However, the more Mike looked at this thing, the more it resembled the legendary fruit of wisdom. That is, the forbidden fruit that Adam couldn't help but steal and eat.
The item itself was good, but because Adam sinned because of this fruit, the name "fruit of wisdom" had a very bad connotation.
Changing its name to Fruit of Fortuna now felt quite reasonable.
Mike picked up a Fruit of Fortuna and felt the strong sacred aura within it, which was harmless to people.
With one bite, his mouth was filled with fragrance, and Mike felt his entire mind become much clearer; it was indeed the fruit of wisdom.
Legend has it that this thing can enlighten people and increase wisdom, and it can also give the consumer the ability to discern good from evil.
As for eternal youth, increased charm, enhanced luck, etc., these were all additional attributes.
[Power of Faith + 2,000,000]… [Charm + 100]… [Cognitive Ability + 99]…
[Lucky Aura (Trait)]… [Eternal Youth (Trait)]… [Good and Evil Perception (Trait)]…
Good stuff. Regardless of whether this Fruit of Fortuna could enlighten people, just the immense Power of Faith within this fruit made Mike's trip worthwhile.
This energy not only increased Mike's total energy value but also rapidly healed his internal injuries.
Yes, although Mike himself had rapid healing abilities, the hidden injuries from his previous battle with Satan still required about a month to recover.
But now, one fruit brought him back to his optimal state.
If he had had this before, he wouldn't have needed to leave Hell so quickly.
After quietly putting away the remaining Fruits of Fortuna, Mike looked eagerly at God and deliberately said, "Two fruits aren't enough to eat—"
Here, he needed to thank Raphael.
It was he who taught Mike the little tricks needed to ask for favors.
"Fruit of Fortuna is very rare, and I don't have many more here…" God avoided Mike's intense gaze, looking a bit guilty, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what brings you to Heaven this time?"
Although God's topic shift was very abrupt, his reminder made Mike remember Raphael's instructions.
Of course, Mike couldn't be blamed for not being attentive; it was just that Heaven had too many "tests."
Who among normal people could withstand such tests?
"It's about Guardian Raphael. I heard 'he' was recalled to Heaven for punishment." When it came to serious business, Mike's expression became more serious.
After all, he had previously promised Crowley to help him inquire about his good friend's whereabouts.
God: "Are you and Raphael on very good terms?"
As one of the earliest twelve Guardian Angels of the human world, God actually had a deep impression of Raphael, especially his "sticky" personality.
Most people really couldn't stand it.
"It's alright, he helped me out before." Mike replied.
"Is that so?" God thought for a moment and said, "Since Raphael is your friend, I can exempt him from his upcoming punishment. You can take him with you when you leave later."
God could even forgive Adam's sin, so Raphael harboring Adam was naturally nothing.
Recalling Raphael this time was just a minor punishment to serve as a warning.
Now was a good opportunity to release him under the pretext of Mike's intercession.
...
Heaven also had no concept of time. After Mike had enjoyed the female angels' dance for a good while, and seeing there were no more benefits to be had, he finally stood up and bid farewell to God.
Then, he was led by the same four-winged angel to the prison where he met Raphael.
At this moment, Raphael was calmly enduring the burning Hellfire.
