âIf the worst case were to arise, wouldnât you not be able to restore to your true selves?â
I asked L.
âIf we were to die while being fused, we wouldnât be able to be reborn until the universe has been restored.â
âRestored?â
âOh, didnât you know? All vessels of Divine Grave are restored after death, just in another universe cycle. This is all attributed to an individualâs Divine Grace, I suppose humans call this Soul? Every soul is connected to both the Alpha and Omega and undergoes multiple cycles of reduction and restoration.â
âThere isnât any case where they are completely wiped out?â
âI canât be sure, but once Abbadon fully awakes as the Omega, if we were to undergo a cycle of reduction as the universe is now, I canât predict the outcome.
âWell it seems that Iâve caused quite a lot of problems.â
âJohra can be considered as an exception among exceptions.â
Sha chuckled, before giving me a meaningful look.
âNow Iâm just more curious as to what our promise was.â
Sha and L then proceeded to take hold of Abbadon hand.
âWhat are you doing? Are you trying to fuse without even getting my permission?â
âAbbadon, we were originally one, you might not remember but just embrace it.â
âDamn, everything that will happen in the future will be on you.â
Abbadon bit her lip before extending her hand.
âThen until next time, Johra.â
âWhat?â
âWeâll meet again soon.â
âWait up, we arenât done yet!â
âBye weâre leaving!â
Swooosh!
They all turned into a blinding light and vanished before my very eyes.
âUghh! This L and Sha! How dare they! If I tell them to wait up they should listen to me!â
My crazy shouts in this empty living room fell on deaf ears.
âWhat am I supposed to do next. My plan was to first make a deal with Skyfather and then meet Abbadon and get her help to take care of Megatron, but now.â
âJohra, Skyfatherâs fleet has been detected, they are about 1 AU out. He must have decoded the our teleportation log.â
âOh right, there was that, I also forgot that i left that code for Skyfather to come here. Just what am I supposed to do now? Now that Abbadon is gone, how am I supposed to make a deal with Skyfather? Ughh!â
âI recommend fleeing at once, Johra.â
Lena was right, I couldnât meet face to face with SKyfather now that my leverage in making a deal had disappeared.
âLena, set up a teleportation array!â
âOn it!â
Quaaaaaaaang
The very next moment a flash of lightning appeared in the house and the scent of burnt oil filled my nostrils. The lightning had effectively melted the surrounding walls and the emergency fire alarms and sprinklers had gone off.
Pazic! Pazic
Hovering before me was a giant creature wrapped in large gray wings.
âJohra, thatâs one of his Angels. Judging by its 13 wings, it must be a pretty high level Cherubim.â
âDammit, theyâre already here. How about the magic array?â
âReady to go.â
âThen letâs get out of here.â
Kuuhmm!
A familiar shockwave spread out.
âNull Magic field?â
The large angel looked down at me emotionlessly, like statue looking down on the world.
âI might have suffered under this before, but no longer.â
Extending my will to the Null Magic Field, I completely negate it.
âReject!â
The Null Magic Field disappeared just as quickly as it had formed.
The Angelâs previous stone faced expression became contorted as it pulled out a large flaming sword.
âJohra, the Teleportation Array is ready to use at any time.â
âIn a bit, I canât simply run away without any payback.â
âThe temperature of that fire sword is close to 100 million degrees, even the Rohimâs shieldâ
Huaaa!
Before Lena could even finish here thought, the angel swung her superheated plasma sword towards me.
âFreeze!â
My will wrapped itself around the flaming sword. I truly hoped that the Sephiroth network which I had planted and grown across the universes over the past 6.6 billion years would work as advertised.
Fortunately it also extended to the 100 million degrees plasma sword, and my commands were absolute, overriding all else.
Both magical and divine powers were using the network to interact with matter across the universes. With some exceptions)
As soon as my will reached out to the Sephiroth network and interacted with its primal mana, all magic and divine powers were in the palm of my hand.
âAncient Demon! You are as powerful as foretold! In the name of the Almighty Skyfather, I, the Angel of Light Uriel, shall banish you from whence you came.â
Discarding its burning sword which had been frozen in mid air, it pulled out a huge spear.
âIt doesnât look like some regular spear could it be the Lance of Longinus?â
âAncient Demon! Since you know the origins of this lance, kneel before its sacred name, Hallelujah!â
âShit, I really hope it isnât that lance.â
Wharrrr
Sparks appeared and danced dangerously along the Lance of Longinus.
âNot good Johra, even I cant get a reading as to how hot it is, it might really be dangerous this time around.â
âHey, believe in me, I will counterattack this time around. Can one even kill a god with that Longinus?â
âYes, now receive my blow and repent you wicked Demon!â
âDamn, just what way is that of speaking to your elders, when you think about it Iâm your grandfather!â
âHave you said your final prayers? Confess, as Iâll now erase your existence!â
âHm this Skyfather, later Iâll have to have a talk with him about his upbringing abilities. Talking to their grandfather in this way.â
The very next moment, just as Uriel began her strike with the Lance of Longinus, I felt time around me come to a stop.
