Chapter 459 Little Jacob
Chapter 459 Little Jacob
"What do you want to do?"
In 1965, at the Cecilia Theatre, little Jacob knelt in the center of the hexagram.
He was naked, covered in golden holy light.
Since some time ago, the quartz clock placed in the center of the theater stopped moving.
It, along with the heavy snow piled on the theater skylight, was paused and stilled by the silver-haired angel before his eyes, as if time had ceased.
"What do you want to do?"
Little Jacob raised his head and repeated in a tender voice.
Kule laughed twice, and his long silver beard flowed down like a waterfall, shaking rhythmically with his laughter.
"What do you want to do?"
He repeated little Jacob's words, and his gentle voice was very pleasant to hear.
"Huh?" Jacob tilted his head in confusion.
"I'm asking you, what do you want to do?"
Kuler repeated, still kindly.
Jacob blinked, his dark eyes not bright as those of other children his age.
The two of you just looked at each other, and no one spoke.
"Hahaha, you cute and clever little wretch."
Finally, Kuler burst into laughter. He stretched out his big, broad palm and rubbed Jacob's fluffy head hard twice.
"Let's put it another way. My name is Kule. I'm the little angel you summoned accidentally. I can use my magic to help you fulfill a wish."
"So, human child who is looking at me like a weird old man, what is your wish?"
"To eliminate all evil from the world," Jacob answered without hesitation.
"No, because sin is a gift from God and I have no right to rule over it."
"That brings all the deceased to heaven."
"No, this is the power of the underworld. Good people will ascend to heaven."
"Then please leave. I'm a little tired and want to sleep here for a while."
"You are a British kid with no desires. Are you thinking to yourself that I am an old loser who can't do anything and loves to talk big?"
"Yes."
Jacob answered quickly, bending his upper body, lying on his side at Kuler's feet and closing his eyes.
“Oh my god…”
Kule seemed very surprised. He looked around, then looked at the little body on his feet, and a red mist suddenly appeared on his fair face.
"You are worthy of being the blood of the Duran family. Such a calm and rational attitude, such a simple and rough method, are exactly the same as your grandfather who speaks so shamelessly every day."
"You... you will definitely be a spoilsport when you grow up, hehe..."
"Very good, very good... I have decided that you will be the next Child of Time."
"Please don't talk and disturb my rest." Jacob frowned and said in a low voice.
"Dear child, do you know what the Children of Time are?"
"Sorry, I don't know. The grandfather in black holding the Bible in front of the church didn't mention this word."
"Oh! Are you talking about the priests in the church? I like them. They are like a group of little ants with their hands raised high. They are diligent and nagging, but they can't get to the point for a long time."
"In fact, you too."
“Hehehe… Sorry, the Child of Time, as the name suggests, is a child of time. With this honor, one can control time and use it for one’s own benefit.”
"Is it amazing?" Jacob opened his eyes.
"when--"
Suddenly, a sharp metal collision sounded in Jacob's ear, scaring him.
“Oooooohhhhhhhhhhh—”
The audience on the stage was in an uproar. Some were surprised, some were panicked, some applauded, and some laughed...
Anna was the most surprised. She looked at the tip of the knife broken by the marble with her pupils constricted.
"what happened?"
"what happened?"
Two young voices sounded at the same time. Anna immediately turned her head and looked at Jacob who had teleported over at some point. She suddenly widened her eyes in surprise.
"you!"
She bit her lower lip angrily and stood up with the knife in hand.
Jacob supported himself with his hands, his expression of astonishment exactly matched Anna's.
He looked blankly at the noise around him and noticed the rapidly ticking quartz clock again.
"you!"
Anna screamed, raised the dagger high, took a big step, gripped the handle tightly and stabbed Jacob fiercely.
"what!"
Jacob had no time to dodge. Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, he instinctively raised his arms and quickly blocked himself.
"It can save your life a little bit, and change some important things."
Kule's old voice came to his ears again. Jacob tried to calm his heartbeat and slowly put down his right hand.
Just like last time, Anna froze in the air with a ferocious face, and the broken dagger stopped right in front of his eyes, about to pierce his chest.
Kuler slowly descended behind Anna, waved his fingers, and wrapped Anna with his satin-like silver beard.
"Don't hurt her!"
Jacob was a little anxious.
Kule paused, glanced at Jacob, then laughed and gently placed Anna under the platform.
"Don't worry, young man with a compassionate heart. We emphasize clear rewards and punishments. We will generously share the blessings with those who deserve the rewards."
"For example, you..."
Kule hooked his finger back, and the golden light that shot straight into the sky immediately moved towards Jacob.
"Ah! I! I! I'm floating!"
The golden light was like soft clouds, slowly lifting Jacob up.
He was a little surprised, but did not feel afraid at all, as if this shining golden light was his cradle.
After a while, comfort and warmth took over his mind, and he slowly relaxed, allowing countless rays of light to penetrate his body.
Kule looked at him with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits, filled with countless kindness and tenderness.
When Jacob's whole body was emitting dazzling golden light, Kule nodded slowly, drove the golden light away, and slowly floated into the air while holding little Jacob.
"I chose you because of your tenacity and kindness. I hope you won't let me down, the simple and naive grandson of Duran."
Looking at Jacob's confused black eyes, Kuler couldn't help but smile again.
But immediately, his smile disappeared, and the white feather wings behind him spread high.
"Sorry, whether you like it or not, something that no one wants to happen is about to happen."
"What is it?"
The light in front of his eyes slowly disappeared, and Jacob felt that his body was wrapped up layer by layer by something big and thick.
"In this ridiculous altar, there are demons, evil spirits, evil people, and evil air..."
"We have to wipe out everything that goes against God's will from the world."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Kule said patiently.
"You are going to kill everyone here."
"No, it is to eliminate the evil and expel the evil spirits from hell."
"I'm never going to see Anna again, am I?"
"Is she your life partner?"
"She is my friend..."
"But she used you, hurt you, and even wanted to sacrifice your soul to the devil in hell." Kuler said seriously.
"I want to ask you, are you willing to give your soul to Satan?"
"If I can save the world, I will."
"What if I can't?"
Jacob was silent.
"Then she is not your friend. A true friend, a true relative, a true lover will only protect you, not sacrifice you."
"But what will I do without her?"
"You'll be reborn, I promise, poor little kid who's never been loved."
Kuler wiped away the tears from Jacob's eyes with his warm fingers and slowly opened half of his wings.
"I am Kuler, in charge of time. I am the patron saint of the Duran family and also your patron saint, the new Son of Time."
Listening to Kule's chanting in his ear, Jacob tried to raise his eyes and look down over Kule's shoulder.
"what!"
The moment he saw the situation clearly, Jacob couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light with six wings appeared in the center of the Cecilia Theater.
The center of the red light was a giant eyeball with a white pupil. The red light spot in the eyeball moved as fast as a table tennis ball, shooting long swords with strong flames in all directions.
The swords fired with a force like that of Alexander's Broken Cauldron Army, and each shot accurately hit the black mist demon with red horns in the theater.
The demon was pierced through the body by the red sword and fell into the blazing red sea of fire, letting out a shrill wail as it rolled into hell.
The sword not only stabbed the demon, but also shot at countless black robes.
The black-robed people were covered in red flames. Every layer and every person was pierced through the body by the angry flaming sword and burned to ashes.
Such a horrific situation is no less terrible than the sea of fire and mountains of swords in the prison of hell.
"Are you scared? If you are, I will close my wings."
Kuler patted little Jacob on the back and spoke gently.
Jacob shook his head, his eyes were firm and his expression was calm:
"Sin is already heinous, and the angel's sword is meant to eradicate it."
"This is a miracle, and we should respect it."
"Besides, I am not evil. The sword of light that destroys evil will not fall on my clean body, nor will it pierce into my pure soul."
After saying that, Jacob stared at the white pupil with wide eyes.
He looked serious and spoke passionately:
"I am the son of time. I am not afraid."
