"Baldor.. you idiot" Michael could not help but chuckle at his antics, the memories which had previously stagnated, began returning.

Their friendship was deep-rooted, to the point where it seemed like they were friends ever since the two of them could walk.

They lived in a city surrounded by technology and it was situated somewhere in the sky with all kinds of different angels flying around.

There were also some big blobs with wings that looked absolutely disgusting, but Michael ignored them, after all, he did not know the importance of the memory he had received.

But that was all, a little insight into his childhood, a childhood inside of a city in the sky.

He did not have many friends, he could count them all on one hand, however, most of them had disappeared after he became an angel-in-training along with Baldor.

Michael could not recall the specifics of how that came to be, it almost seemed like there was some sort of academy; however, he was not completely sure.

After all, he only had bits of more important memories rather than something whole.

As he was lost in thought, Baldor walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder with his rapier, before suddenly swinging it to the side and once again drawing blood.

Another angel fell just like that.

"Baldor, is there no way for us to avoid... you know, killing them?" Michael asked as he cast a shield on both himself and Baldor.

"They don't die, idiot. They will be back in like a week."

"Oh.. right." Michael nodded at him, taking in the information he did not know at all. It seemed like these angels were an immortal bunch.

He could feel a line of mana heading towards him from quite a distance away, yet he was easily able to track it.

The moment the line got near him, he cast a sword of light, and immediately, he heard a small pop, followed by the body of one of the angels falling onto the ground, headless.

They were moving extremely fast, but it seemed like his firepower was a bit superior to theirs.

All of a sudden, a wave of mana began being emitted from the gazebo where Adam and Eve had been staying. He did not go to check, as it did not seem ominous at all, it almost seemed like they were slowly regaining their strength instead.

Since Michael had already decided to see through his previous decision to the end, he would do it, defend the duo from the incoming angels.

But he did not understand one thing, why exactly were they fighting? They knew that Michael lied, but he doubted that they knew about the emotions the two beings possessed.

Michael could not help but think that there was another motive for them to attack.

He decided to test his theory, waiting for a singular golden line to approach him, before he cut slightly above where he did previously.

That resulted in a figure skidding past him with their wings cut off at the stem, the person seemed to be in pain, but Michael did not care as he walked up to the figure and picked it up by its golden hair.

"Tell me, why are you attacking us?" He asked and stared at the figure who did not seem to be listening to him at all.

Michael turned to Baldor to see if maybe he could extract some answers from the angel, however, he noticed him fighting and winning against four of them at once.

Suddenly, the angel who he was holding began flailing around and shouting "You dare lie!"

It was quite a sight, and Michael could not help but wince at this behavior, so far the only people he encountered were fanatics.

The evangelists and now even the angels, it seemed like a shitty pattern that he would love to get rid of.

But at the very least, the angel seemed more sane in the head than the evangelists, the angel actually seemed to understand what it was doing so Michael decided to try taking advantage of that.

"What did I lie about?" He asked once again while using his mana to hold down the flailing angel.

But once again, the angel just kept repeating the same things over and over again, not even responding to any of his questions.

Michael thought that they were a bit different from the evangelists, but maybe not.

He tightened his grip and crushed the angel's head before heading over to assist Baldor.

The fight did not last long as the only thing he had to do was cast a single sword of light to kill one angel. They were way too weak, the only strength they had was their speed.

However, Michael could not help but think that whatever this group was, were only the scouting party, there was no way the angels he heard so much about in stories and all sorts of books this weak.

And he did not need to wait much longer to find out, as shortly after the two of them finished off the last angel, a grand presence descended onto the both of them, rendering them motionless.

"Michael, Baldor, why are the two of you testing the limits of your authority?" A voice resounded from right above them.

Michael turned to look upwards and noticed a single figure, one that had six fiery red wings coming out of its back and a radiant halo on their head.

'The Seraphim...' He continued staring at the figure, from what he knew, they were extremely busy beings who watched over the affairs of many worlds at once.

Added to the fact that they were also the protectors of heaven, it was extremely rare to see them out and about.

But considering the importance of Adam and Eve, he assumed it was pretty justified to see an equally important figure appear before the two of them.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Seraphim waved their hand, and suddenly, the gazebo by the side was completely revealed.

The two figures, Adam and Eve, were in some sort of black cocoons, still radiating incredible mana that even managed to slightly suffocate Michael.

But like previously, he slowly adjusted to the pressure and kept staring at both the Seraphim and the cocoons. Stay tuned to empire

They seemed to not only radiate mana but also some type of other energy, the energy of chaos, which he was a little bit familiar with.

"Good job" The Seraphim suddenly said to both Michael and Baldor, causing confused expressions to appear on their faces.

However, their confusion did not last long as all of a sudden, the Seraphim appeared right in front of the two of them and grabbed Baldor by the head, taking him back to the cocoons in which Adam and Eve were residing.

'What is it doing..?' Michael stared at it with a tinge of caution, ever since the Seraphim arrived, he had a pretty ominous feeling.

They were righteous beings, ones that embodied god's will, however, this one seemed a bit different. This one had greed in its eyes.

It held Baldor right beside the two cocoons and Michael could see the chaotic energy slowly entering his body, corrupting the existing mana of light.

And suddenly, Baldor's body began emitting an ominous mana that seemed to affect the surroundings, Michael included.

But before he could protect himself against the mana, it disappeared and Baldor plopped down onto the ground, seemingly lifeless.

Yet the mana he had been radiating just a moment ago was still present, in fact, it was still increasing.

As he was paying attention to his friend, the two cocoons opened up, revealing the two figures whose appearance did not mirror the one he had seen before.

'What the...'
