Chapter 1719 The Angel's Secret

"Jophiel is dead." Mikhail stated as he told all of those that were in the Tower of Babel.

"Jophiel will just revive on his statue anyways. Still, it seems that Jophiel is the weakest out of all of us that they lost to devils." Uriel stated.

"Jophiel will not revive. They are truly dead. Look at his statue." Mikhail pointed out the statue where Jophiel revives from.

The statue of the Angel of Chasity Jophiel that was pristine white in the topmost floor of the Tower of Babel started to turn black. After the white statue turned black, the statue started to turn to ashes. All the angels that witnessed it are in shock because this was the first that one of them truly died.

"Camael, did you see what happened to Jophiel?" Mikhail asked as he is curious on what happened to Jophiel since he cannot see all the way to the other side of the world.

"I was keeping an eye on Jophiel but there was a point that my vision could not see it. I thought that the devil gods might have interfered which is why I could not see what happened to them. To think that they would be able to destroy Jophiel's existence!" Camael replied.

"The angels that were able to revive did not have any memory of what happened to Jophiel as well. The ones that had the memory could not speak as if they were given a restriction. Maybe the devil gods really did interfere as only they could restrict our powers like this.

We can train them to be strong enough to break the restriction but that would take long. They need to be strong to even attempt to break free from a curse from a devil god after all." Gabriel stated as he already asked the angels that revived back in the Silver City.

"What if it was not the devil gods that sealed the information?" Mikhail stated.

"What do you mean? Are there any more beings that would have the power to oppose us? Demons cannot use curses after all since they only deal with origin magic." Zadkiel stated.

"It does not matter then. All of you must gather information about the death of Jophiel. Look onto the beings that were able to kill them. Gabriel, can you stay as I need the details on what the lower angels said." Mikhail stated as the other angels of the Seven Virtues went out to see who was able to permanently kill an angel of Jophiel's caliber.

Mikhail then extended his energy outwards to create a forcefield inside the Tower of Babel's top floor. He did not do this when the other angels of the Seven Virtues are present. When Gabriel saw the barrier, he immediately knew that what they are going to discuss is something that no other angel must find out.

"It was the goddess herself that threw away Jophiel, am I correct?" Mikhail asked but it was actually more of a statement due to how sure he was.

"From the results that I have seen, I think it is actually true. This is not the first time that we have witnessed something like this as only the two of us are the ones that could almost ignore the command of the Goddess of Light Luminaria." Gabriel stated.

"The strange part is that we do not know what happened. Did the angels just become crazy that they lost their senses like back then. I thought only those of the Second Order of the Heavenly Sphere were susceptible to that but if even us are involved then I think we have a problem." Mikhail stated.

"You are right. Back then, a few of the angels managed to at least report to us that the others became crazy and sacrificed themselves. This time, they have their lips sealed as if it is an absolute commandment. If the Seven Original Sins did not do the seal as I did not feel a devil's energy from the revived angels, then it is likely the goddess that discarded Jophiel." Gabriel stated.

 "To think that even we would be just like pawns to her. We should really proceed with the plan on getting the Nephilim. With the power inside of him, we might be able to undo the control of the goddess without sacrificing the power that we have now. I must liberate all of us from her control." Mikhail stated but he also has another ulterior motive behind it.

Mikhail wants to have the power of the Nephilim as it is the power of his brother that transcended the Goddess of Light Luminaria. He does not want to do what the others that abandoned the goddess did. All the angels that became devils or abandoned the Goddess of Light became weaker and needed to train once more in order to recover what they lost.

Mikhail believed that he would become the new king of angels and might even step into godhood. If he does step into godhood, then he could defeat the Goddess of Light Luminaria and take her as his concubine goddess. He would then be the one to control the angels instead of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. 

"You cannot leave the Silver City and the dragons are also making it difficult for us to move out. If they notice that both of us were not here, then they might have set the Silver City into flames. We are the only deterrents to make sure that our lifeline would not be destroyed." Gabriel stated.

Mikhail could only nod at what Gabriel said as the Silver City is what is keeping them alive. If the Silver City is destroyed, then there might be a chance that the angels could no longer revive endlessly just like the blessed children or cursed children (players). He does not want to be a king to rule an empty nation after all.

"Have you procured the thing that could help us with the dragons? I wanted to let them know what a true festival is." Mikhail asked.

"We have found traces of it, but it is not enough to inflict dragons that are kings and above. The people of the east are not making it easy for us to acquire it after all. The Fallen Gods of the East are incredibly shrewd that they are only giving us a dose that could incapacitate a small dragon." Gabriel stated.

"They are mortals are they not? Can we not just kill them?" Mikhail asked as that was the easiest way for him.

Back then, the angels could get anything they want because of their beautiful faces and power. People believed that they will be blessed if they help an angel which was a rumor created by the angels themselves. If they could not have the things that they want, then they would carry out a pillaging that they called a 'Crusade' in the name of the Goddess of Light Luminaria.

"We cannot do that as the other party are fallen gods after all. They have relics that can actually deceive even Camael's eyes. We also do not want another enemy as the current ones are already troublesome. We have yet to fully regain the power that we have from back then after all." Gabriel stated.

"To think that we have fallen this low after getting sealed for too long. The punishment of the Asmodians is incredibly scary but their power is something that we must have. I guess that is true that we have a lot of enemies, but you must have at least got the location on where they are getting the Dragonsbane." Mikhail asked.

"Camael was able to see the general location, but it seems that they noticed as well. The location that they have in the east is now shrouded by something. The humans have created something called arrays that could warp even our blessings. The Fallen Gods of the East must have been the ones that created such thing since ordinary humans would not be able to do so." Gabriel stated.

lightsΝοvel "I do not care if you empty out the first treasury. Just get enough of the Dragonsbane that can kill even dragon kings. I will be only able to move if those dragons are incapacitated. Have you also talked to the so-called Hero of the Dragonborne?" Mikhail stated.

"You mean Hou Yiwei? He is not open to any talks to us as he only sees us as an enemy." Gabriel stated.Follow current s on ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

"Even though he has an angel as his companion?" Mikhail stated as White was actually offered to have her status be returned as long as Hou Yiwei will betray the dragons.

"He is firm which might be the reason why you showed interest. He does not plan on betraying the dragons as he is already a dragon himself although he only calls himself a Dragonewt. White has already betrayed the Goddess Luminaria and it seems that she also knows of her attitude which is why she did not listen as well." Gabriel stated.

"Our troubles would have been much easier if she was really benevolent after all." Mikhail stated as him and Gabriel continued to plan their next moves.
