Angels flew into heaven as they were surprised to see that god was in sight as soon as they entered as well as all things that were solid on the first sphere " What happened ? " some angels were confused as Michael saw Karma standing at the same level as where god was sitting .
" COUNT DON"T YOU DARE KILL FATHER " As soon as they heard Michael yell that they looked up and quickly flew high to narrow the distance between them so that it didn't go as Michael said " Hey El you should put a shield up or something "
El nods as he gives the angels shields making them a little heavy as their ascent to his throne slowed down " Good now you don't have to worry about heaven losing all of its angels just because they fell "
Karma held the scapegoat up high as he started taking the grace of the angels that god had given them " Tell me did you define the merits and sins ? "
" Yes I made sins turn to rocks while merits were turned to feathers though it's irrelevant to you now that you can turn them into anything you wish however the color will remain signifying their moral alignment "
Karma enjoyed the elation that came from receiving the rewards of merits as he felt like there was paradise in his soul " So your angels have the merit of being made by a benevolent god like you ? "
" Yes it's what I did because I had done everything to make them beautiful , powerful and great , but as with all things that are given they will also be robbed by others "
" COUNT " Michael yelled as his wings grew weaker , he did his best to keep flying but kept falling as his wings were taken from him " But if a child was given food and it was taken away don't you think that child would try to get it ? " El said as Michael's soul sprouted wings made of his own soul instead of the merit granted by god .
" Of course that's true but you just have to keep the child trap in their own cage wouldn't that solve the problem by then ? " El nods as Count reached to heaven grabbing Michael and the other angels who had enough will as Metatron goes to slash the chains that Count made .
People were amazed at what they were seeing , Heaven which had revealed itself to them had debris made of precious materials and angels falling but instead of turning to demons they simply lost their wings , some watched , some continued the battle keeping the war going .
While Gale takes Truth to Karma " Come on " Gale takes Truth who was an owl " Come on flap those wings " It's hard when this is my first time flying " Truth complains as other promise keepers follows them .
" Say El do you remember when the world kept you fed ? " " you must be talking about those group of children right ? " " Yes can you tell me more about them " Karma bends time to give them more time to talk .
" I heard some voices when I wanted to leave my tribe they guided me through the lands and seas , bought fishes and fruits for me to eat , warned me about what's to come "
" Did you take care of them ? " " Yes but I was unable to feed them as they fed me maybe because I had feared they would grow up to be stronger than they already were "
" Because these special children fed on memories that were associated to them , they would grow in their aspects , Gale would be able to move more than just winds and Ember would be able to do more than just burn a tree "
" They could be a world all together " Karma said " That's right " " And did you also fear the birth of death ? " " Yes I was lucky there hasn't been one such abstract being or as the people of this modern era have called it "
" Is that why you quickly took all that would be needed to create them by creating the angels of death and Abaddon ? " El nods " Hmm that's amazing C could create gods if they just choose too "
" Yes that's why I am afraid of what humanity would amount to at that time , but thankfully for my past self the faes like Bael was worshipped and prevented the birth of such beings "
Karma nods as he takes note " But are you not going to kill me now I am dying but not dying from the suspense you are giving me " " You said that you are going to die so that you can calm the anger of C right ? That means while you are still alive I can ask you as much as questions as I can "
...
Isir , Moirai and Reed were in the shelter with all the family members " Isir hello " " Oh Reed it's good to see you well after what was going up there " " Do you think I can view what is occurring upstairs ? " " Yeah sure Karma did need something to watch "
They watch as angels fly to heaven upon the death of Karma's body " So that's what Count looks like " " Yeah they're a strange being , so big you can never know what their true size is but what about you Isir ? "
" What about me ? " " You and Count were the ones I couldn't remember I forgot about your past after you died and I forgot about Count after I die , are you really a human " " So many Faes have asked me the same questions but rest assured I am human that's the truth I can give you "
" I see then I suppose I have just been wishing that there were other kinds of beings like Count so he could at least share it with " " There is though " " Really ? "
" Yes , Karma is someone who was in a body that had the special constitute of absorbing memories it could've crushed his soul if it was left alone but Count fixed it by teaching Karma we also did the same to Moirai except the memories were much organized "
" Huh so in the end they do have someone to talk to about it " " Karma isn't the only one pretty sure the fae are also the same but the memories that gathered to form their soul were more stable because it was Count's memories " " I get that "
They see heaven open as they both watch it " What do you think Karma is doing up there ? " " I don't know to be honest he told me about El when we had our soul connected let me check " Isir felt the connection between their soul again .
" Oh turns out I can check do you want to know ? " " I am rather curious " " Karma is talking with El until the time Count kills El " " What ? Why would Count kill god ? " Isir checks their connection again .
" It's probably to do with the fact that El has been harming their children for a long while now " " But that's not right " Reed gets up as he goes out " Reed where are you going ? " Isir asked as the family watched Reed .
" If you kill a god who has been a great influence , it would be a horrible ending for the believers " Isir recognized what Reed meant as he walked up the stairs .
" This battle shouldn't end with one side defeated " " But God had a plan which was for the antichrist to lead the strong people who can defy a greater will to new horizons "
" Yes but that doesn't sound like god has to die wasn't there the part about eternal paradise ? " " Yes and god would rule over it " " But how if he's dead ? " Isir shrugged their shoulders " Metatron probably , he is called the little god for a reason "
" So a successor , I know how that works but what matters is that Count kills god that's gonna leave a scar that will take a long time to heal probably equal to the time god had used to reign over the worshipped and become a main religion "
" Oh my god Reed please don't go , you are Count's dear friend if you go out there and die now Count will be mad and kill more people " " Then protect me " Isir was baffled and grumbles " UUUGGGH god damn why did I have to tell that to you "
Reed opened the door to the bunker as they looked at the sea where Count's body stretched out " Alright I need to go up there " Reed walked undeterred by the battle as angels fell to the ground with surprise that they survived the fall .
Isir followed as Reed reached the body of Count and was suddenly hit with memories that didn't make sense to him " ACK " Reed pulled back from the body as Isir checked on him " What happened ? "
Reed felt a headache as he tried to recall the memories " I probably got hit but some memories didn't make sense and would probably drive me to insanity "
" I know what this is , Risana told me that the memories that are going to be digested need to make sense that's why she always picks books that have a good intro to help readers "
" All I saw were some crazy memories it was hurting my head trying to understand them , I also think I just saw some really dark hallway I don't how someone got in there " " I can fix it if it's about information , I'll just block it "
" Maybe make me forget it ? " " Alright " Isir removes Reed's memory of touching it " Okay so all that is prepared let's climb this " " Wow woa wow , No you will certainly die if you climb " " Oh I climbed a tree before to sell thr fruits "
" Does Count's body look like a tree to you , this is more like the world tree that connects realms " " But isn't that supposed to be Karma's blood ? " " I don't know Mister Founder but maybe it's impossible to have Count's body cut just because some people turned the blood into something else "
" Oh I still haven't figured out how they lost body parts yet " " Oh come on we should've talked this through instead of doing it here " A giant boulder was flung to their side as Isir destroyed it " See the danger I'm talking about , if you die because of a stray bullet I bet Count will eradicate this entire world "
" As if Count values humanity's imagination just like that they wouldn't destroy humanity just because they lost a body part " " You are so lost in the value of a body part " Isir grunted " It's not my fault I don't get it "
...
" I got the parts of Count as a test to see if I could kill them " El told Karma " Huh , That one I already thought about but did you know how to use it ? " " Of course , I do Count's body is a soul essentially I can use it to animate objects "
" Reminds me of how the soul has powers " " Yes that's right but as they are part of Count's body they hold more power because they are a part of a great being like Count "
El held a tiny piece of Count's body " You have seen the monster that has almost gained a self right ? " " yeah they only acted by instinct though and I was able to control them " " Then you have already mastered the power of a soul "
" Pretty sure Isir can do the same with a computer " " That's different , anything created by technology would have a hard time turning into a proper soul because it was made by code a straightforward method that gives a technology commands and ways to understand through a limited view "
" And a soul is different ? " El nodded as he made a computer appear " A soul can be born from a soul , a life can give birth to a life , that's just how it is , it's why I could never be able to create angels with real selves without using Count's body "
" Oh wow this feels strange , I thought of Reed as my father and Count as ... well mother is close but then parent feels right because they have no distinction between a man or woman "
" Why is it because I created the angels that would share the same blood with the fae ? " " Oh yeah that practically makes me and the angels cousins and maybe Moirai would be cousins with the demons like Lebo and Risana ... Wow we have a big family tree "
" Is that what concerned about ? " " I mean I can use this so that I can keep Count from killing you they feel guilty for leaving their children and all " " But it's not enough I can see the future where they kill me because I had been harming the children that are solely theirs alone "
" Oh I can see that , Count those have some memories of hating themselves and even hitched on the ride so that they can personally kill you , But you dying doesn't help either of us " Karma held the scapegoat .
" I'm afraid you have no way of changing my desire to be killed by them even after you use this time dilation ability of yours like how my children had tried to delay it so will you delay it " " Really I highly doubt I will do things like that "
" I know that's why I am steeling my resolve to bring salvation one last time so that my children " " No it's your children and Count's children , plus if you die there will be plenty of problems we have to solve "
" Then that will all be your challenges " Karma looks at El trying to read whatever plans he has for it " Are you trying to seek answers from me ? " " Yeah after all I don't want to carry the responsibility of world peace "
" You won't get any from me , while I can see the future I can't see beyond my death " " What an annoying restriction you have , but this battle between the so-called good and evil is really just a debate , whether you die for satisfying the anger of Count or I convince you to not die and Count to not kill you "
El smiles enjoying the moments he thinks will be his last " And the hard part ? " " Ehh I got the plan right but I gotta make sure you want to live for it " " Tell me ? " " No it wouldn't work if I tell you "
...
Reed and Isir climbed Count's body as they went through branches connecting memories " What is wrong with Count's body " Isir said as the body kept shaking tossing more angels down " What is going on up there "
" Isir there is no use complaining , it doesn't do anything " " It does actually , I can feel my regret turning to seething rage that motivates me , And don't go speaking like you are some wise old man " " I am old though "
They suddenly hear thunder they couldn't see what's happening Karma had a bowl pouring the wrath of god down the seventh bowl that he stole " What are you doing ? "
El was stunned by Karma's boldness " The end of the world ? I'm going to destroy it unless you go to save it , so it's gonna make you want to go down and save the lives because you do care for it "
" What about your family ? " " Armageddon shelter project , made to resist great lightning , floods and fire , as well as being able to last for centuries because of the perfect filtration systems that circulate the resources within so in case you don't want to go down my family is safe , as for the Fae they'll be fine if they die they'll find their way to the shelter . "
El was calm since the bowl couldn't do that " Of course I wouldn't be able to move your hands with just this right ? " Karma points at the train as he released the time dilation " I added the eternal flames , pestilience and death and how many more do you think I have also prepared "
El looks as the angels start losing all of their merits as the scapegoat's blood finally turns dark " It's time to blame all the sins on humanity and bring hell upon the world " Lucifer who was watching from down was surprised as Karma held the scapegoat by the horn and drops it .
" And what about the lamb skull ? " Karma smiled " It's gonna keep everyone alive and I'm really glad everyone made it this far and you too god , now go save everyone ... from me the ancient evil you had foretold "
Lucifer finally understands what Karma means when he shows him the scapegoat's skull as the skull falls and the seventh bowl is emptied " No "
" Yes to me El , you will finally defeat the ancient evil you had said " " You are not the ancient evil I had given the title to " " Oh no I'm not but I know that you had something here that I'm not gonna let that destroy Count "
El was surprised that the one secret he had was exposed to Karma " Now let the wrath of the seventh bowl destroy everything you have ever known just to guard the other self whom you had created or go down there and save everyone while I take the accusations of Count as a scapegoat "
El gritted his teeth as he went down " Wow that's great " Karma looked at the throne as he smiled " Lucifer I'll have to bring you back in again " Lucifer watched as the Screen he had been watching all of this occur widened and covered him .
...
El falls down to the living world avoiding Count as he tries to save the world from the wrath he had gathered as well as the additional factors Karma placed in him . He keeps an eye on Count and finally reaches around the body to spot Reed .
" Oh look someone flying without wings " Reed said " It's probably another angel " El recognized them and sent a shield to keep them safe " Huh why did that angel do that ? " " I don't know " Isir replied as Reed thought of what kind of angel El is .
" That's a beautiful soul " Reed said as El felt it remembering the times when people had said his drawings were beautiful " Hey since you made this light to protect me can you take me up to heaven " " No I can't " El focused his efforts back to gathering the wrath of the seven bowl .
" Why can't he bring us to heaven ? " Reed asked " Let me check " Isir checks on their soul connection with Karma as Karma heard " Hey Karma what happened to heaven ? " " Not right now I'm busy deciphering a code "
" I'll help " Isir decodes whatever Karma was trying to figure out and talks with him " What's happening up there ? " " I poured the seventh bowl what about you guys ? " " Well we are outside "
Karma froze as he wondered why and remembered Isir used "we" " Who's with you ? " " Reed , he wanted to persuade Count to not kill " " Oh goodness anyway I can stop him ? " " If you can find a way to make Count persuade Reed that they won't kill "
" Goddammit that couple are not good at controlling their emotions " Karma sighs and wonders " Did some angel come down and give you some form of protection ? " " Oh yes he did why ? " " Okay good enough , that's god I was trying to convince him to leave his seat so I could take it "
" Why would you take it ? " " Because it was meant to store the biggest weapon he has " Isir was confused as Reed wondered why Isir was still " What kind of weapon is it ? " " Something meant to kill Count or that's what I found when checking god's memories "
" But why is it hidden behind a riddle ? " Isir asked " Maybe because it lost its purpose now it's just some bomb that's waiting to explode unless El takes the sit and keeps the bomb from exploding "
" It was just something El has been working on since the beginning of the creation of heaven and hell " Karma said " At first it was the centerpiece so that El could hide from Count but like all things that are made it slowly became something more than just a safe space "
" Oh please don't do any storytelling for me " " I'm not I don't even what it was I have been going around El's memories to find out more about it , one thing is for sure is that this throne of god was meant to hold a secret weapon El devised to go after Count "
" Welp I cracked the code " " Thanks " Isir returns to their body as they catch up with Reed who was making the desperate and insignificant ride up " Reed !!! Karma said that god isn't up there " "Really? " Reed looks at Isir .
" Yes , that person who gave us that protection spell is god so can we go down now ? "
" Sure " they both climbed back down as Karma broke the lock keeping him from using the throne . He takes the time to appreciate how reflective it was of the surroundings only , he walks into it and sees many stone tablets that show paintings that would look better on paper .
He felt familiar thinking about the place where he had gotten the memory of El's fake worship in hell " You know Lucifer if you had looked into that place at hell you would've gotten curious how El the name of your father had coincidentally been worshipping a god that's depicted the same way as your father "
" I was very young back then , even if Father has given me age I was still ignorant of many things " " I get it I was ignorant too when I was young thankfully Sebastian took care of me , now as for the place around here it looks I need to walk further in to see El's past "
The world slowly gained more surroundings as the landscape which El used to travel after he left his tribe continued endlessly " Maybe I'll have to keep this place intact , but as for the depth where this is maybe it would be so close to the perfect realm of soul "
Karma puts the place god's throne took him between the range of heaven and the perfect realm of thoughts which had other names that he couldn't what it should be called " I'm wondering what to call that place but considering that Dream lives there it would make sense to call it the dreaming "
He watched the world become darker to represent the fear of being captured and turned to a servant who produced paintings to the liking of the worshippers so that they could gift it to their god or when he would be trapped under the worship of one god .
" This place is depressing " Karma said as Lucifer replied " It does but why is it like this , was the world that cruel back then " " I can't tell if you are being sarcastic despite being the devil who caused people to sin "
" I was but I wasn't the one who did these " Lucifer retorted as Karma wondered " Do you think your fall was your own doing or did god manipulate you into being corrupted in power ? " " I only see it as a foolishness that I swore to never repeat "
" Foolishness huh , that sounds like it was the power that corrupted you " " I suppose that could be the case for me , after all , I as the greatest angel got drunk on what god gave me even if it wasn't my work and effort that gave me all the greatness "
" Oh check this out the creation of Samael " Karma reads the letters out loud "he will be the greatest angels I will first create , he will have my gifts , my talents and a soul carved by me" " That doesn't explain that I fell "
" Maybe this does " Karma pointed at a set of letters with titles "This is a devil a monster so great they are the one who can go against god" " Except it's not referring to you it's referring to Count my ancestor's friend "
" Then why did I become that ? " Karma points to another set of letters "I failed to do any real damage to that monster , perhaps it was because I was too weak that I failed" " But this one is older than the text about angels ? "
Karma nods " El did say he used Count's body part which is their soul to create angels " " So why did I become the devil ? " " Probably because he started planning for the future as he made every angel and then decided what the future would be like in the garden of eden "
" But heaven was made a day before earth " " And how long would a day be to god " Lucifer looks at the text about the original bible " A thousand years " " Yep as I thought he spent a long time making this "
" This answers so many questions " " Not everything yet , plus questions and problems are different , if it's a question you get an answer " Karma starts to sense something .
" But if you get a problem you have to solve it "32Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE9imVcjga
