Chapter 409 Meeting the Thrones
'Am I going to be judged for my sins here...?'
I swear I tried to live as righteously as possible, but after I transmigrated, I "might" have gone a little off the range of "righteous" and jumped to "self-righteous" instead.
As we walked forward, Azrael came to the small stage on the lowest side before kneeling on one knee.
"God, I have come here to request..."
However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly turned quiet. Every now and then, he was saying, "Yes, My Lord," or "As you wish." However, I couldn't hear anything, nor see anyone talking to him.
The other angels around were just sitting down firmly, playing their instruments, and creating a peaceful melody, like some relaxation BGM.
"... Thank you, God, for allowing my lowly self to return to my post. But I also have another matter... Yes... "
Then, without knowing to whom he was talking, he stood up and walked toward where I was.
"Human, apparently, God can't talk to you regarding what you were asking about. Instead, He will send the Thrones to explain things."
"Thrones...?"
I'm not pretty knowledgeable when it comes to angels, but aren't they...
Just as I was thinking about them, four large beings appeared right above the stage at the center.
"...!"
What I felt as soon as I saw them was fear.
They all looked the same, like several layers of semi-transparent "wheels" with hundreds of eyes attached. Looking at them makes me feel like I have ommetaphobia.
Just as I was about to take a step back, four different sets of voices echoed in my head.
(Do not be afraid...)
[Oh little one...]
[For we...]
<Mean you no harm.>
"The big wheels of eyes spoke!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was honestly more afraid than surprised right now, so I wanted to hide behind Azrael... But before I noticed, he had already left me alone in there. He's nowhere to be seen!
(If it's Archangel Azrael...)
[You're looking for...]
[He already left...]
<To return to his post.>
"..."
Do they really have to talk in turns like that? It's making me feel even more unsettled! Can I just go home? I'm fine without having my question answered already!
(You want to know...)
[The reason behind...]
[The anomaly that...]
<The Otherside suffers, right?>
(It's actually related to you...)
[And that disobedient woman...]
[Who keeps on trying...]
<To change fate.>
"...!"
Their words, for some reason, reminded me of a certain person. The one that I saw way back in the room with monitors watching over all the tamers. The girl that Namia said was the one responsible for the Taming system. The one who can't be named!
So the anomaly on the Otherside is related to her? Or maybe?!
(Correct, little one...)
[The anomaly is actually...]
[Related to the event that...]
<You call the Singularity.>
I knew it! Whenever that woman who can't be named comes up in a conversation, there's a high probability of it being connected to the Singularity!
And due to my careless actions, the event of the singularity was seemingly accelerating. It was supposed to happen in a decade, but after saving Fatima, it was reduced to half. A little over four years from now.
Although I was curious about the Singularity, there's also something else that I was equally curious about.
"That girl, the one managing the Taming System! Could you all tell me her name?"
Whenever Namia or the others try to tell me her name, it becomes garbled. I think it was related to the Taming System interfering, preventing me from hearing her name. However, right now, I'm currently in "heaven," so the system shouldn't be able to exert its power here!
Well... That's just a guess, though.
(Unfortunately, we can't tell you...)
[her name. Names are powerful...]
[And preventing you from hearing...]
<her name, is for your protection.>
"My protection? From what? Then, what about you four? What are your names?"
I was just asking because of the momentum, but I wasn't really interested in their names. Their appearance is enough to cause me nightmares for days to come, after all. But far from my guess...
(I represent the beauty of God, Archangel Jophiel.)
[I am the angel of secrets and mysteries, Archangel Raziel.]
[I am the angel of mercy and forgiveness, Archangel Zadkiel.]
<I am the beholder of God, Archangel Zaphkiel, the Chief of the Order of Thrones.>
Without much fuss, the four of them introduced themselves. Jophiel, Raziel, Zadkiel, and Zaphkiel. Although I didn't want to remember their names, I ended up committing them to memory.
"So, you can name yourselves to me, but you can't say the name of a single, powerless girl?"
The powerless part isn't accurate, but who cares? The words I used had some effect on the Thrones, making them stay silent for a few moments.
(Even if we wanted to...)
[Tell you her name...]
[That information...]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm<Is useless to you.>
(Rather than that...)
[We shall tell you...]
[The real identity...]
<Of the Singularity.>
I'm starting to get tired of listening to the way they spoke in turns. If only I knew how to return to where Ember and the others were, then I'd already have turned tail and run.
But well, listening to them talk about the singularity isn't a bad deal, is it?
(In simple terms...)
[The singularity is...]
[The invasion of the...]
<Deepest of all Hells.>
Hell? The deepest part of hell should be, based on what I have read, the ninth hell, the frozen hell. That was where those who committed treachery against God were thrown. So the cause of the Singularity is this?
(As it is our duty to watch over hell...)
[We also must help you overcome...]
[The challenge of the Singularity...]
<But we already have our hands full.>
(The other hells...)
[Have started their uprising...]
[All available angels...]
<Are already dispatched.>
Hmmm... So, the Singularity should be a problem for Heaven and not ours, but since the other hells are attacking them, they can't send support to our side?
Well, from the story of the five regressors, there's not a single mention of the angels anyway. So, that means they wouldn't be able to send help for a few decades at least.
"Then, nothing much changes..."
I felt deflated, thinking that knowing what the Singularity was would give me an advantage. But another problem pops up. Why do the regressors not recall the Singularity's identity?
