Daniele pov
"Hey Lint! Don't take it all for yourself!"
"Hehe~ If you're late, you lose~"
Lint and Augustus were arguing next to me over various foods on the table.....they remind me of Via and Irina, so nostalgic
Then my gaze turned to the person sitting across from me, eating sullenly.
Well, Perseus can't try anything
"So Perseus, what would a [Hero Faction] member want from me?"
Seriously why did he come to see me, is Cao Cao still trying to recruit me? But that's illogical after all Perseus is currently---
"I've basically left the Faction now"
Yes, as expected
"But that doesn't tell you why you called me."
Perseus looked at me with a confused expression for a moment.
"Please.....save Cao Cao"
If I had something in my mouth right now...I'd spray it in this man's face
"Pffffttt!!"
Oh Augustus did it, at least not to his face
"W-wait Cao Cao? Are you seriously asking the paisen who owns the [True Longinus] to help a terrorist!?"
Lint shouted in surprise.
Good thing I put a noise-canceling barrier around the table.
"You two shut up for a second."
After telling Lint and Augustus, I turned to Perseus
"But they're right. Cao Cao took hostages and tried to kill people I know, why would I help him?"
Perseus' expression faltered for a moment, then he finally let out a weary sigh.
"You may not believe me, but Cao Cao.....that idiot wasn't like this before, our purpose, the initial purpose of establishing the [Hero Faction] was TRULY to protect the people .But as he delved deeper into the supernatural realm, he saw how many people were so careless about such things just for more power or money...he strayed further from his path. Right now he's only interested in testing his own strength"
"And you know that because?"
He frowned at my question.
"I....*sigh* I was the first person to join the [Hero Faction], I've been with Cao Cao ever since, but right now he's strayed from his path and I can't do anything... so... please help him!"
Perseus spoke with a voice full of despair as he bowed his head.
I looked at the descendant of the hero with his head bowed before me
Even the previous meeting showed how proud he was, but the way he suddenly bowed his head like this emphasized that he took this seriously, but despite everything-----
"Let's say I accept despite everything, why me? You've known him longer than me, right?"
I ignored Lint and Augustus who were giving me confused looks when I said this, and focused only on Perseus.
A smile appeared on his face, but it was filled with self-deprecation more than anything else.
"I can't, Cao Cao is proud, too proud, if I want him to listen to me, I must at least fight him on equal ground, but I can't... I am weak"
Then he looked at me
"But you can do it, even though I haven't been to Kyoto I still got information, fought him on equal terms and pushed him back to his limits .He caught your attention and even invited you to join the [Hero Faction]. If someone will bring it to his mind , it must be you."
"What about his crimes, do you really think anyone will forgive him after all?"
"I am ready to endure anything"
This made me blink
"[Hero Faction] even declared war on some Gods, especially considering how ruthless they are... there's even a possibility they'll call for his execution "
....Actually, that wouldn't happen. From what I know from Canon, Indra was behind the [Hero Faction], the peak of the Supernatural, one of the 5 most powerful being in the world
But I still wonder what her reaction will be
Perseus' hand trembled for a moment, then he clenched his fist and suppressed it.
"...I'm ready for this "
There was no doubt in his eyes, just endless determination.
...it was annoying
I wasn't Cao Cao's biggest fan, damn it he tried to harm people I care about, if he didn't do it on purpose I would support him, I really would, but as it stands now, it's impossible
And Perseus was ready to put his head on the line before me just to make me come to my senses.
.....It really bothered me
My gaze fell on Lint and Augustus who had finished their breakfast next to me.
"Well, if you have finished your breakfast, I must ask you to accompany me to [Church]"
Even though my tone was polite, it wasn't a request, he knew it, I knew it, and the two people next to me knew it too.
And as expected he nodded
I put the handcuffs I took from my space storage on his wrist.
The relatively tech-looking handcuffs were capable of limiting power, unfortunately they only work on things below Ultimate-Class... for now.
---------------------------
*Knock*Knock*Knock*
"Come in"
I slowly opened the door as I heard the male voice
When I opened the door, instead of seeing Griselda, I was greeted by Ewald, who was sitting at her desk, working on paperwork.
"Welcome [Joker] Daniele, did your mission go well?"
"Despite the unexpected elements, it was completed successfully "
I said it as I walked in
"Hello old man Ewald~"
"Hello Mr. Ewald"
I was not surprised when Lint and Augustus greeted Ewald, 90% of the novices in the Church had passed through Ewald's hands at least once.
"I'm glad to see you're both okay, were you causing any trouble for your Superior?"
"Nah~ but August did it"
Lint put her hands behind her head and said
Even though Augustus' eyebrows twitched, he managed to stay still...well done, he's learning
"It went smoothly sir "
Ewald also cleverly ignored Lint, I think they're both used to her at this point
"Again .... looks like we have a rather unexpected guest."
He said as his gaze turned to Perseus.
"Well, I'll take him to Michael"
Ewald nodded.
"So, is the mission report ready?"
I took out medium-thick documents from my space storage
The content of the mission, the unexpected events, and the movements of Lint and Augustus were recorded in detail.
"Wow Paisen when did you prepare this!"
"While you were unconscious"
"Wait I think your laziness---ugh!"
Before she could finish her sentence he received a gentle slap on the back of her head.
"Why.My.Head.Always!"
I shrugged as she screamed
"Maybe it will start working"
I turned to him as Augustus' voice was heard... that kid ran to the opposite wall... clever
"Okay, it's time for me to leave."
I said while holding Perseus' neck
With Ewald's nod, I walked away, dragging Perseus
""Paisen/ Mr. Daniele""
When I turned my head, I saw two youngster bowing
"""Thank you for everything!!!"""
I patted their heads with a small smile on my face.
"See you again in the future"
They were definitely going to be [Brave Saints] and of course we were going to see each other more, so I didn't say goodbye.
....
"You're pretty popular huh?"
"Kind of"
I nodded to an Exorcist who nodded to me
I greeted other
"By the way, what kind of person is [the Archangel], you know, to get news in advance"
"Er... pretty gentle?"
"Isn't he 'God's Executioner' or something? Are we talking about the same person?"
"You'll understand when you see it yourself"
When Perseus and I arrived at the door with a casual chat, I opened the door
It was relatively quiet and a little creepy though.
Contained many candles
There was a statue of an angel there
As for Perseus, a sack of light was suddenly put on his head.
"Oi! Bright so bright and it burns! My eyes!! You could have told me to close my eyes!!!!"
".....Noisy"
As I hummed, I created a silencing barrier around it
Then, when I shook my finger, the surrounding candles caught fire.
There were different specialized versions of summoning spells in the world
Devils' contracts / That weird gate of youkai/Dragon Gate etc., even I don't know all of them
But..... I know what's for the Angels
I started to whisper the words silently while I put my hands together as if I was praying, these parts were basically a formality, now for the most important part...
"....מִיכָאֵל(Michael)"
As the whole room was filled with Holy Light along with the sound, the most powerful Angel of creation appeared in the room.
To be honest, the Holy/Light Power he emits is giving me goosebumps even now.
It was more like something close to Divinity than just Holy Power, I wonder if this is what 'Who İs Like God' means?
Angels are weaker than Gods, that's a fact, but I can't help but think that if Michael were to fight an Evil God....it would be different.
"I'm surprised you called me that way."
As Michael said this with a gentle expression, he took back the Holy/Light power that was pressing on the room.
"I didn't know where you was... it was fast"
"Laziness is a sin, Dany"
I scratched the back of my head as Michael said this in an amused tone.
"It was an important issue for my defense."
"I see"
He waved his hand as his gaze fell on Perseus for a moment.
The barrier and light sack I put up instantly fell apart
Perseus blinked a few times before opening his eyes and froze as he looked at the Archangel next to me.
"Um...what's up?"
"Fine?"
I rolled my eyes when I saw the weird scene between the two.
"Michael, this is Perseus, yes from the [Hero Faction], he asked for my help"
Michael gave me a strange look
"Didn't you go hunting for the Necromancer?"
"I did"
"So how did you go from Necromancer to [Hero Faction] member?"
"Luck?"
Michael just smiled bitterly at my words and sighed.
"Then let's move on to a more private place."
With Michael's words an Angel Magic Circle was created large enough to cover the three of us.
--------------------------
Third person pov
"Perseus-sama !? They captured you too!!!"
While Connla was shouting in a worried voice at Perseus in front of him, Perseus definitely did not share the same feelings as him, especially as he gave him a dry look.
"You call this being captured.....you're obviously in a comfortable place you bastard! Your skin is practically glowing!!!"
"T-this...yes, these are all to fool the enemy."
"You think I'm stupid huh?!"
Perseus's scolding tone caused Connla to step back as his cheeks flushed slightly.
The room he was in didn't really look like a prison.
Although it was not a 5-star hotel, it was like one of the relatively luxurious one-night stay rooms.
As soon as Perseus entered, his handcuffs shattered and a wall of light appeared behind him.
There was really no need as the room was designed to prevent any spatial interference and physical force.
Behind the wall of light , Daniele stood
Daniele couldn't help but agree with Perseus' words.
'Sometimes it's hard to be one of the good guys'
After telling Michael everything about his request from Daniele, they then placed him here for further information, essentially until the [Hero Faction] disbanded.
"Daniele Berti"
As Daniele turned to Perseus, Perseus looked at him from behind the wall of light.
He had a glass cube in his hand, but what was really important was the evil purple light emitting eyeball inside the cube.
Meanwhile, Daniele was looking at the eyeball that was looking at him from inside the glass cube.
The eye was emitting a devilish green glow
---Medusa's eye
Not an ordinary one either
Killed by the Hero Perseus himself
It belonged to a monster that had the ability to turn things it looked at into stone, the glass cube was resistant because it was made specifically for this eye.
"I know my request is excessive, but I will give it to you as long as you accept"
[Medusa's Eye, definitely original, this thing can be called a treasure ]
[it's obvious that it's the original Medusa from the smell it gives off, even a High-Class Dragon's scales would turn to stone...so yes, it's definitely like that ]
Daniele just sighed and turned away.
Perseus was about to say something as he gritted his teeth, but Daniele cut him off.
"In the fight I'll hit his head a little harder.... Whether he comes to or not is not my problem."
"Thanks!!!"
Daniele left the area accompanied by a grateful voice behind him
When he walked out the door he saw Michael waiting for hım
He had the lantern Daniele found there in his hand.
"This thing is definitely Artificial Sacred Gear"
"So you're saying Satanael is involved?"
Daniele asked while frowning, this was the possibility he really didn't want to happen.
"I would be surprised if it didn't happen"
Finally, he sighed and put the lantern in the space storage
"I'll send this to Azazel later, he'll look into it in more detail, he should be able to find a few things. "
As Daniele nodded, he finally brought up another important topic.
"So, what do you think about this?"
Daniele chose to ask Michael's opinion
But the other party just shook their head in denial
"It's all your choice, do you believe in your heart that Cao Cao can return to the right path, or is he just a pure threat... the choice will be yours in the end. "
"In short, you are throwing the ball to me"
Daniele's dry look made Michael chuckle as he patted young Lion King on the shoulder.
"These are also part of growing up, and it was interesting that you came back early, especially at this time. "
This got a raised eyebrow from Daniele
"Why? Is there something wrong?"
"No no, we were just finishing up a special project, but since you're here, would you be interested in seeing it?"
"What kind of project?"
If Daniele said he wasn't intrigued, he'd be lying.
"The creation of the [Philosopher's Stone]"
Daniele blinked, then twice, then once more.
Michael's words made him think of a certain Alchemist anime
And of course there is the way the [Philosopher's Stone] is made
'...Are we going to commit genocide?????????'
-------------------------
England/ Protestant Church Headquarters
Many people bowed in respect as Daniele and Michael appeared in the room together
One of them was the Leader of the Angels, while the other was one of the Two Great Trumps of Heaven...not so strange, someone must say.
A figure that Daniele particularly recognized also appeared before them.
"Mr. Touji"
"At this point, wouldn't it be better to have a father-in-law "
Touji's mocking tone made Daniele feel a little embarrassed, while Michael chuckled beside him.
......
"So how is Irina?"
"Well, as usual, but her power is growing at an impressive rate."
"That's good, I'm sure she's about to surpassed me"
Touji's voice was filled with pride when he said this.
"How's the experiment going?"
Michael asked as Touji's tone became a bit more respectful as he answered
"We are just waiting for your arrival, Lord Remiel is already waiting for a problem"
"Well, if it's Remiel...it must be impossible for a problem to escape"
'Remiel? Another Seraph?'
When they finally arrived at a door, the people on either side of the door respectfully opened it, and Daniele was struck by the smell of a multitude of complex substances.
'What the--!!'
He instinctively covered his nose with one hand.
Inside were two men, with many beakers full of different colored liquids shining inside.
He was a middle-aged man who didn't even realize that they had come first and continued on.
His graying white hair was combed back, while his green eyes, shining with knowledge, were hidden behind square glasses.
He was wearing a trench coat and protective clothing underneath.
The figure right next to him, unlike the previous one, turned towards them.
He was a handsome man with golden hair that reached just past his neck, but his eyes were not visible because they were directly closed.
He was wearing a black suit, with 12 white wings coming out of his back and a halo over his head.
"Are you here, Michael?"
Then his gaze turned to Daniele
Even though Daniele couldn't see those eyes, he felt a chill as if he could see inside him.
"You are Daniele, I am Remiel "
The man introduced himself in a polite and elegant manner
"Yes, Daniele Berti, nice to meet you"
"Similarly"
He just said as his smile widened
"It's over! All the preparations! It's finally over!"
A huge magic circle was placed around a huge number of small boxes.
At that moment, the man shouted with joy and finally saw the others in the room.
"A-ah...*cough*cough* sorry I must have lost my temper . I'm William Bringson, Lord Michael, The Lion King, it's a pleasure to see you. "
"No no don't worry, after all almost any Alchemist would do the same thing for what you're doing now "
Michael soothed the man as he sang in a voice reminiscent of a spring breeze
"I've also heard of
The man was completely embarrassed by Michael's praise.
"Thank you for your praise, my Lord, everything is ready, but we have to wait a few minutes for the best moment"
"So --"
At that moment Daniele intervened
"--Can you explain what you're doing here, I'm quite curious about magic and its types and I've never seen alchemy before "
"Ah, so you're interested in alchemy! Then how should I explain it to you...."
His gaze turned to Michael and Remiel for a moment.
As the two nodded, William continued
He began to speak as he started walking towards the nearest wall.
"It's normal that you've never encountered Alchemy before. While other forms of magic focus on creating phenomena out of relatively nothing, Alchemy focuses on the manipulation of existing matter and its states. "
When he put his hand on the wall, he suddenly pulled his hand back as a blue light flashed and lightning played around his hand.
Now there was a cube-shaped gap in the wall
William also had a stone cube in his hand
The cube then began to change shape while continuing to cracks blue lightning in its hand.
Star, sword, even a stone cat, finally became a cube again
Then, suddenly, the cube in his hand turned into sand and fell from his hand and fell to the ground.
But before it touched the ground, the blue lightning flashed again and passed through all the sand and took shape as a cube again.
As he was inserting the cube into the gap, lightning suddenly struck and it was as if the wall had never been separated.
"The most important requirement for alchemy is to know what matter is and what it turns into and what it turns into. Chemistry knowledge is very useful. If you know enough---"
William suddenly took out a small pocket knife from his waist and opened a wound on his arm.
As he released the knife, he pressed his hand to the wound and blue lightning cracked into the wound.
When he removed his hand the wound was gone, but Daniele frowned.
He looked closer
"Your wound...you didn't heal it, did you?"
William just smiled approvingly
"Yes, so to speak, what I did was I wrapped the flesh over the wound. "
".... I understand.Looks worth learning"
"I'm glad you said that "
William walked to his desk, picked up a thick book and handed it to Daniele.
"This is a tutorial for Alchemy, it also has my personal notes and tips in it"
Daniele smiled as he took the book
"Well, I'll warn you that I'll be back as soon as I get stuck."
"*chuckle* It suits me"
At that moment, a number of items placed on the ground in the corner began to glow.
"The time has come.... Lord Remiel...."
Remiel's currently closed eyes opened, revealing bright red eyes
"Don't worry, I won't let it be a problem . "
Daniele was quite surprised when he looked into Remiel's eyes
While angels usually have green and blue eyes, Remiel's red eyes were unusual, but most importantly, it was obvious that the eyes were not ordinary, it reminded him of
[Definitely a special kind of eye, very rare even in the Supernatural World]
"Are you curious about his eyes?"
Michael told him from side
"Is it so obvious?"
"It's very obvious "
"Okay... can you tell me?"
Daniele asked as his curiosity got the better of hım
"Remiel has the most important eyes in [Heaven], as the Angel who guides Visions, his eyes see everything from one's soul to one's weaknesses, long distances...It's not wrong to say that his eyes see through everything. "
'Broken!'
Daniele literally screamed inside
But then he realized something
'If the other 6 Seraph's abilities are this strong....how far do the 4 Great Seraph's abilities go?'
Daniele looked at Michael, the most powerful Pure Blood Angel, with curiosity.
At that moment William started talking loudly
"The production of
Daniele stared at the boxes for a moment, counting more than a hundred.
As the boxes were opened, the objects inside them shone with light and rose up.
It was a dazzling sight as they all shone with different colors.
All the little balls of light slowly began to merge together
As sweat ran down William's cheeks, he put his hands in a prayer position and muttered quietly
The lights continued to intertwine with each word he muttered.
Seconds.....Minutes...even an hour passed
No one in the room dared to move.
At that moment, as the lights came together, a rainbow-colored light shone that blinded everyone in the room.
As the light faded, suddenly there was a tear-shaped gem
Inside the tear-shaped gem, there is a crystal pearl emitting a dim nine colored halo. The nine colors are blue, red, yellow, cyan, gold, black, silver, green, and purple. Among them, green and purple are in the center, and the other seven colors spread outward, which makes for a very peculiar sight
...Philosopher's Stone
The gem floating in the air was emitting a divine light.
[That thing....is at least no less than a god's weapon ]
As Daniele was horrified by Regulus' words, the gem slowly fell towards William, who was standing
William gently caught hem
Then he turned to Daniele
"Well, what do you think, this thing in my hand is at least the pinnacle of Alchemy, every Alchemist's greatest dream "
"Does it grant immortality? I think they had stories about that. "
William thought for a moment.
"It's not exactly like that...let me show you"
Suddenly lightning started to flash from the gem in his hand, these were not blue, but seven colored sparkling lightning.
As lightning suddenly hit the table, the wooden table turned into glass...
Then, as lightning flashed through the air, a swan suddenly formed from ice, and the swan instantly turned from ice to fire, then to iron.
Daniele stared in astonishment at the phenomena that were constantly occurring before him, completely contrary to what had been described before in Alchemy!
"As you can see, the [Philosopher's Stone] essentially skips the alchemical cycle and processes the result ."
"What about immortality?"
Daniele asked about this issue specifically
"Immortality is a little different, not exactly immortality but....."
With William's words, the colorful lightning bolts reached out and headed towards the point where it had cut before.
There was no trace left now, and before that, the lightning bolts were directed at his hair, and his white hair grew thicker and turned black.
"Even the human body is essentially composed of matter, [the Philosopher's Stone] provides relative 'immortality' by creating young cells instead of dead and old ones. "
'Wait, can't someone do this with Senjutsu too? After all, its essence is manipulating life.'
But Daniele knew the value of this stone, it was definitely something that would make anyone's mouth water
William took such a unique object, and put it in a black box with luxurious gold accents and.....gave it to Michael
"Here you go Lord Michael, I hope it helps [Heaven]"
Michael took the box with caution
"Thank you, [Heaven] will definitely not forget your help."
"No no, please don't say that, after all, even for me to find such pure elements, let alone achieve it without Heaven's documents, it would be extremely difficult, I probably wouldn't live long enough...Also now my life span has increased considerably thanks to the stone "
William said in a humble tone, then finally clasped his hands together and assumed a pious expression.
"Also, I finally completed the task the Lord gave me, with this...with this, maybe I can see 'her' again!"
This caused the entire room to go silent.
There were four people in the room, three of whom were William, aka the Legendary Sage.
Daniele, Touji Shidou, Michael, Remiel
Touji was a man of high rank and possessed the Church's most important secret
Just like the secret that the other three in the room knew
...The Truth That the God of the Bible Is Dead
So the people in the room were quite confused, how can you receive a message from someone who is dead?
Remiel, who had his eyes closed, tilted his head to the side in curiosity while the others gave William strange looks.
"Ummm, can you tell me exactly what message you received, I'll ask for verification of course
Michael asked as sweat ran down his cheeks.
"Ah, it all started 7 years ago actually"
'Seven years huh? That's pretty nostalgic, that's when I met Gabriel'
As Daniele had a small smile on her face, William continued
"I, like everyone else, focused on my education while separating myself from sin and everything else, until I accidentally touched a woman's breast, which is very embarrassing for me to say, but I found myself constantly looking at them, gradually losing my way, feasted and appeased by Eros.----"
As Michael's eyebrows twitched, he made a mental note to send a letter to the Greek Pantheon later.
"----Then I found myself in the Vatican, and just as I was leave in the Church, God sent me a message!"
This caught the attention of the four
"There I saw the Lord's messenger .That indescribably beautiful physique in her Nun clothes with her long curly golden hair and eyes that contain the sea and the sky"
'Hmm??'
Daniele's expression froze for a moment, while Remiel and Michael's expressions became strange
"I saw him for a moment, but unfortunately he quickly disappeared, but only him...just seeing him made me postpone the possibility of leaving the Church."
"So...how did you know that she was the Lord's messenger? "
Touji asked for information
"Yeah, I was just coming there. My next encounter with a female messenger was 3 years later, at that time I was very dedicated but lost my way, during this time I was visited by Eros in my dreams a few more times ---"
'Yes, I definitely need an explanation!'
Michael was having a hard time holding back his smile, what is going on and why is the Greek God trying to corrupt the Church members!?
Daniele was struggling with another situation
'After 7 years and the next 3 years...it can't be right....it can't be, can it!?'
[Partner....I think--]
"--She told me to touch the breasts, suck them, or take off the underwear, I got to the point where I unconsciously create a spell that tore clothes from a distance and a spell that showed through clothes!!!!—"
'Issei would burst with jealousy...no, he would rather try to make this man his master.'
While Daniele was thinking, the final nail finally started hitting
"--I finally went back to the Vatican to clear my head...and...and there she was! Even helping a young boy! So kind! So charitable, so sexy---*cough* I mean, so beautiful---"
The two Seraphs finally realized what it was, and they turned their heads to see a Daniele with his eyebrows twitching violently.
"----I got so lost that my notebooks fell down! And the page that opened there was...exactly...exactly...the final formula combination I needed!I knew then, that beautiful woman...she was a messenger sent by the Lord for me!!!!"
Despite the man's passionate scream, Michael and Remiel's attention was currently on Daniele, and even Touji, who didn't understand the situation, looked at him in surprise.
There was a smile on his face, a bright one, but while his eyes were shadowed, he was giving off a frightening aura.
"Mr. Touji---no dear father-in-law, what day is it today?"
Touji was startled for a moment but quickly answered
"Wednesday?"
"Thanks"
While Daniele was just thanking him, he caught William still talking enthusiastically.
"Hmm? [Joker] Daniele? W-Wait a sec? What?? Where are you taking me!?"
"Going to meet someone "
As soon as Daniele said that, he created an Angel Magic Circle under them while ignoring William's objections.
The three people stood there in shock as the Magic Circle held the two of them
"What is this? "
Remiel turned to Michael as Touji asked this
"Should we save William?"
"Hm? Why, it's not like Dany's going to do anything bad. "
"But Raphael told me that when it came to Gabriel, he was just as protective as Uriel."
This caused Michael to stiffen for a moment.
"...it can't hurt to check, just to be sure"
The two of them finally said goodbye to Touji and followed the Holy Power trail left by Daniele
As for Touji who was left there...he shrugged and went back to work.
-------------------------
Rome / Vatican
Confessional Area
The two Serap came here while minimizing their presence
There they saw the owner Daniele with a proud expression
"Dany, where is William?"
Daniele turned to Michael's voice
"Oh he----"
"Is he dead?"
Remiel asked as he tilted his head to the side.
Daniele blinked in surprise.
"Nooooope? There "
Where Daniele pointed, there was a teary-eyed William and a beautiful woman with long golden hair and emerald green eyes. He was crying in front of her
"I-I! How could I lust after the Lord's messenger... I deserve to die!!!"
"No! Please, the Lord would not accept this! And don't cry! You are a great man!!!"
William began to cry louder as the emerald-eyed girl screamed in panic as she grabbed the knife the man was trying to stab himself with.
"Isn't that... Asia Argento?"
Daniele's grin widened as Remiel asked this
"*sigh* Seriously this girl looks like she was born for this
"That's my girl~"
Remiel shook his head helplessly as Daniele said
"Well it's time for me to go, there are still too many souls to guide"
Remiel left with the Magic Circle
"Guiding souls?"
Daniele turned to Michael with curiosity.
"Remiel, apart from being responsible for the Visions, is essentially a guide for the dead faithful souls, in a way he is the busiest among us because his work is never done. "
Daniele nodded as he looked at his fiance who was still struggling, it was so cute to see her like this.
"Do you want to say hello?"
Daniele refused
"Nah, I don't want to interrupt now as if she has work to do, I'll get it when she'd done"
Michael nodded
"So...can you accompany me one more place?"
With Daniele raising his eyebrows, the two switched places without anyone in the room noticing.
-----------------------
Fourth Heaven
As Daniele and Michael appeared here, Daniele took a deep breath of fresh air filling his lungs
There was no one around them
From a Senjutsu user's perspective, this was a magnificent place.
"*Exhale* I love it here"
"I am pleased about that "
Michael's words caused Daniele to turn to him
"So what did we come to see? "
Michael just held out his hand without saying anything.
As ripples appeared as if his hand had touched the void, a golden gate appeared before them.
It looked like the entrance to other parts of Heaven, but this one was smaller.
The golden door was carved with a relief of an angel holding a sword and shield.
Daniele pov
The door that appeared out of nowhere in front of me looked quite powerful just by looking at it, yet was there such a door here??? Why did I never notice it?
As the door slowly opened, the Holyness, Divinity and metallic smell that came from inside was emanating
When we entered the first thing that caught my eye was weapons, all kinds of weapons, Swords, Halberds, Shields, Spears and many more that I can't even list.
As we continued walking, it did not decrease but the variety increased.
The weapons were carefully and elegantly hung on the wall, while some were suspended in the air on pillars of light.
It wasn't just the equipment, there were also interesting unique Fruits, Robes, Fabrics, Crosses
I had a pretty good idea where I was and it was DEFINITELY somewhere pretty important.
....okay, I can't stand it
"Michael, this is ....."
"I assume you already guessed but yes this is [Heaven's Arsenal] "
Damn!
[Definitely lives up to its name, damn, is that Golden Apple???]
But Michael continued
"This is where my father keeps his artifacts, war spoils, and other Pantheon possessions, essentially Heaven's legacy. "
As Michael finally stopped, the box in his hand seemed to come to life and floated into the pillar of light that fell from above.
"Wow"
"Although I want to distribute the weapons, the most powerful ones actually require familiarization, in short, not everyone can use them, even the armors and equipment specific to us Serafs are here ... mainly for those who are no longer among us."
As Michael's voice became filled with sadness, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the man in front of me.
It was obvious that he cared about my siblings, but he was forced to take a position he didn't want and he kept losing siblings throughout his long life.
Maybe that's the curse of living too long
"It would be best if the [Philosopher's Stone] remained here until the reforging of [Excalibur]"
Wait what?
"So the [Philosopher's Stone] is for [Excalibur] ???"
"Yes, that sword has already been broken once, I have no intention of letting it be reforged again, I am determined to make it stronger than before. "
This... is actually smart, so if you're remaking one of the strongest Holy Swords, of course you should take precautions.
"But this use is the main side purpose"
Something more important than the Holy Sword....
"Daniele, you know how to do [Brave Saints], right?"
Yes actually I do
"Isn't it with the Underworld-specific crystal used in [Evil Pieces] "
Michael nodded in agreement.
"That's right, it could be called a hybrid of the Sacred Gear research we received from the Grigori and the Attribute Crystals we received from there. But either way, I plan on creating our own Crystal source. One that is unique to Heaven."
"Is that even possible?"
"It'll take quite a while, but yes, [the Philosopher's Stone] should be able to do that."
".....I understand"
I looked at Michael, who had a determined expression on his face.
A Archangel who normally has an androgynous appearance was now looking pretty cool and like someone to be taken as an example.
....It doesn't look anything like his portrayal in Canon, but I like it better this way, here is our Leader
"So..... do you want to take a tour inside, you know, even Dulio has only been here twice"
"Oh, I sure do!"
Let's take a look inside GoB's garage!

???
Three figures dressed in long white robes were calmly walking forward
The figure seen even from under the robes revealed their gender, while the faces seen through the hoods of the robes were of beauty.
But all three faces were equally and eerily pale
In a foggy field, a little girl's voice was heard climbing the golden stairs
"Why are you here?"
Then a more mature female voice was heard
"Entering each other's space is considered provocation for the other side"
Finally an older woman's voice was heard
"Is this what you want... oh Norns ?"
True, these three were the Norse Gods of Fate, caretakers of the World Tree.
Urd for Past
Verdandi for Present
Skuld for Future
The voice was heard at that point in the robed womens
"We don't" "We came to talk" About irregular "
Even if three voices were heard, it was not clear who was speaking. If an ordinary person were here, their head would be spinning so much that they would vomit.
"""Come In"""
When the three of them went up, they found themselves in a place decorated with luxurious antiques in the mist, but none of the three of them were surprised.
"Irregular" "Does it bother you too?" ""Is he causing you trouble?"
Accompanied by mixed voices, the 12-13 year old girl frowned as she flailed her arms
Fate of Birth: Clotho
She pointed unhappily at a loom with her finger
There, the middle-aged woman was furiously trying to put the ropes in order, but they kept getting tangled up
"Stop interfering, you damned!"
She then silently muttered curses in ancient Greek
Lachesis: Fate of Life
Next to her, an old woman was pressing the bridge of her nose while looking at the Loom
Atropos: Fate of Death
These were the Greek Goddess of Fate who, like the Norns, ruled over the Past, Present and Future.
However, in a universe where every mythology existed, they were certainly not powerful enough to touch the fate of the entire existence , and there were many beings powerful enough to will defy fate
As the three Norns approached the Loom, they saw countless golden threads woven together in different colors, even if it was just on the Loom, the threads seemed endless.
But one of the golden threads there was twisted at complex angles and scattered the others.
"You mentioned Irregular, what do you want"
The old woman, Atropos asked in a rude tone, she was disgusted that the same kind of God as herself was already here, she would not be polite
"Irregular, The Lion King" "A disaster against him" "To put fate in order"
"Isn't he already an angel?"
As Clotho's childish voice came from behind, she came to them.
"The Protection of the God of the Bible is there, even though He is dead, His System still exists as a shield for the Angels "
Middle-aged woman Lachesis spoke
"Even though the effect has weakened a lot"
Finally Atropos finished
"The spear is in motion" "The consequences of his actions"" Can be directed"
"Nonsense! It's already troublesome to interfere with a Longinus host, someone who has that person's blessing, but do you want to try to control someone who has his will? "
Clotho's voice was almost mocking and making fun of them.
"Indra will not be pleased if his favorite are touched "
A shiver ran through the other five as Atropos' voice was heard
Indra's power was evident, if he decides to take action against them...even they are afraid to know what will happen
"Not to the spear" "To the results" "There will be a gap"
"It suits me "
Lachesis said quickly
This earned her strange looks from Clotho and Atropos.
"What's wrong!? If you have a problem, come and try to fix these damn threads!"
Finally, the six Goddesses gathered around the Loom as they both nodded.
The Six Goddesses who direct Fate are focused here on weaving a new destiny with threads

Indra was examining the documents detailing his team
There was enough force here to take down a Faction single-handedly, but in Indra's eyes it was insufficient.
Especially considering the identity of the opponent he is challenging.
At that moment, his gaze turned as his eyes turned to gold
Extreme pressure emanated from the seat where Indra sat
"They...how dare they"
But as the pressure suddenly disappeared, Indra massaged his nose bridge
"Wait...I can use this. To put that brat on the right path"
----------------------------------
A man and a woman were standing on a beach
The woman had long purple hair and a curvy body accented by Indian clothing
Even if Daniele came for a woman of transcendent beauty. He had to admit, this woman was no less than Gabriel.
Even though her curves were not as 'strong' as Gabriel's, no one would think she was inferior to Gabriel.
But the woman's most striking point was her power, her seemingly endless Divinity matching or even surpassing the Primordial Gods.
It wouldn't be wrong to call this woman the most powerful woman in the world.
There was a young boy, at least high school age, who had his head on her thighs and was eating grapes that she was feeding him.
He had short blue hair and closed eyes.
"Husband...them"
"Yeah, let them do it~"
The young man opened his eyes, his eyes matching his hair, but with a golden shine inside, but in the depths of those eyes was hidden an endless destruction and annihilation.
A power that easily surpasses women and is just below the Dragon Gods
"Let's see what you're going to do, my little fatebreaker."
