Chapter 469 - The Downfall (III)...

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

[Grigori, Underworld]

Azazel hid it very well but he was worried… After Hela disconnected the call, he acted completely normal. After a few minutes, he finally excused himself from Vali's room. He was really worried about Heaven.

Even though he was no longer an Angel, he couldn't deny his roots. He really wanted to inform Michael about Hela's interest in Heaven and Heaven's System. That was a piece of very bad news. Azazel didn't know what the green-eyed woman wanted but he was sure that it wouldn't be anything good.

But if Hela discovered his treachery then she would probably rip him apart with her bare hands… It would be a painful way to go but it would be quick. If he was unlucky then the woman would probably torture him and his underlings until she lost her interest.

He finally arrived in his office and plopped in his chair. He opened his liquor cabinet and poured himself a more than generous drink. Azazel tipped the glass and gulped down the whole drink in one go… God! He needed that drink.

Azazel knew that there was no way the Angels could stop someone like Hela. Hela wouldn't even register their pathetic attempts to stop her from accessing the Heaven's System. Azazel had seen the woman's power first hand… the woman had shrugged off the Juggernaut Drive like nothing.

Even he would have a lot of difficulties going against something like the Juggernaut Drive. Additionally, Azazel could bet his entire collection of porn that the woman wasn't even serious. He had sensed the woman's bloodlust, he had no idea how many beings you needed to kill to have bloodlust like that.

There was another question going through Azazel's mind. Hela asked him Heaven's simple layout, but she never asked him how to enter Heaven. Azazel obviously knew how to enter Heaven, but he decided not to divulge that information to Hela on his own. If she had asked for the information then he would have told her, after all, there was no other way around it.

Since Hela didn't ask him about it, Azazel refrained from divulging that information. Now, it could only mean three things. First, Hela wasn't planning to invade Heaven and she was simply curious. Second, Hela forgot to ask. Third, she already had a way to enter Heaven. The First and the second reason were pretty absurd, and the third reason was only viable.

To be honest, Azazel didn't want to betray Hela. He knew betraying Hela must come with a steep price… but he simply couldn't ignore the fact that brothers and sisters were going to die. The Angels would never agree with Hela, so Hela would eagerly massacre them until nobody was left… Azazel simply wanted to avoid that outcome.

Azazel finally decided that he should inform Michael… at least, give the Chief Angel a head's up. After the disappearance of the God, everything was kind of fucked up… Azazel poured himself another drink and activated the communication circle.

After a few seconds, Archangel Michael finally accepted the call… Michael's torso appeared over the communication circle in the form of a hologram. Michael had his usual smile on his face…

"Hello Azazel, it has been some time…" Michael greeted Azazel with a smile on his face.

"Yes, it has been some time. There is something urgent I need to tell you" Azazel said in a grave tone. Michael's expression changed after he finally noticed Azazel's grave tone and the grave look on his face.

"Azazel, what happened?" Michael asked in a worried tone. Azazel smiled internally, Michael was still worried about Azazel's well being even though they were practically enemies.

"Hela is going to invade Heaven… just don't fight her, allow her to do whatever she wants" Azazel said in one breath.

Michael's eyes grew wide in shock and surprise… the Archangel paled as he gaped like a fish. "How? How do you know that?" Michael asked after a few moments of silence.

"A week ago Hela took over the Fallen Angels. Right now, both Devils and Fallen Angels are under her rule" Azazel answered honestly and Michael closed his eyes and started to rub the bridge of his nose.

"She asked me for some information. She was particularly interested in Heaven's System. Fortunately, I didn't know much about the System, so I couldn't give her the information…" Azazel continued and Michael started to rub his face with a look of despair on his face.

"...So, you want us to submit?" Michael asked after a minute of silence and Azazel simply nodded his head.

"Yes, there is no way the Angels could win against someone like her… you will know when you see her" Azazel said and Michael seemed to contemplate his words.

"That is what I wanted to tell… take care, Michael" Azazel and disconnected the call without giving Michael any chance to say anything.

Azazel knew that his time in this world might be very short and he simply didn't want anyone's pity. Azazel had lived a long life and he simply wanted to pass on without making a fuss… Well, he wasn't sure if Hela would kill him or not but he wanted to be mentally prepared for his death…

[Heaven]

Third Heaven or better known as The home of the Souls. The Souls of the dead taken to Heaven reside on this part of the Heaven. The Third Heaven is so vast that it is practically immeasurable. This place is exactly what most believers believe in, the promised land.

It is practically a paradise for the Souls of the dead. Countless Souls reunite with their loved ones and reside in this place, in complete peace until they go through reincarnation. There are no wars or conflicts… in other words, this place was also known as the Pure World.

Third Heaven is also connected to the Purgatory. Purgatory is the place where the Souls of the sinners are sent… meaning the Realm of the Dead is connected to the Third Heaven. The Tree of Life also resides in Third Heaven.

It was a completely normal day on Third Heaven, but it was soon about to change. All of a sudden, a rift formed at the edge of a cliff and a tall green-eyed woman stepped through the rift, followed by a silver-haired woman dressed as a maid.

"Hmm… this place is nice. I understand why people with good karma come here after kicking the bucket" Hela said while looking around. Her eyes sparkled in excitement.

"Yes, this place is quite relaxing even for a Devil like me" Grayfia agreed with Hela. Even though she was currently inside Heaven, she didn't feel pain, in fact, she felt rather great. Grayfia didn't know if other levels of Heaven would be so comfortable to her or not but she wouldn't mind spending the rest of her life in here.

'No!! Grayfia! You are a diligent maid, you can't give in to comfort. You must stay beside Hela-Sama and serve her' Grayfia chastised herself as her mind started to drift towards luxury and comfort.

"So, what are we going to do now?" Grayfia asked curiously. It had taken some time for her to digest the whole story… She couldn't fault the God of the Bible for protecting their world, but there was a tiny problem. Trihexa never wanted to or meant to attack this world… that is what Hela had said.

Grayfia knew that Hela didn't have a reason to lie, so she believed whatever Hela said. So, the God went out of his way to seal a being which wasn't a threat to their world from the beginning and in the process he also ended up accidentally breaching the barrier protecting this Omniverse.

So, the God of the Bible practically condemned the whole Omniverse… Grayfia knew that the enemies were going to be way beyond her capabilities, and that is why she had decided to keep her opinions to herself. During that conversation, Grayfia also understood why the existence of Evil was necessary.

"We are going to wait… the Angels will show up" Hela said in a confident tone.

"Oh…" Grayfia muttered as she decided to dutifully wait behind Hela.

"I wonder if Azazel had informed them about me or not?" Hela said with a thoughtful look on her face, surprising Grayfia.

"You think Azazel is going to betray you?" Grayfia questioned and Hela simply nodded her head.

"Azazel is smart, but don't forget that this is his real home… He might act like he doesn't care but he definitely cares about this place and the Angels" Hela said with a shrug as a faint smile appeared on her face.

"I see… have you decided who you are going to appoint as the representative of the Fallen Angels after you finish dealing with Azazel?" Grayfia asked in a neutral tone. She had no idea why Hela was smiling though but it was kind of unsettling.

"My dear Grayfia, who said I am going to kill him? I am not going to kill him… killing him would be a waste. You see, he still has a lot of uses, especially with his knowledge regarding Sacred Gear" Hela said as she raised her hand and clenched her fist tightly.

"You see Grayfia, I want to gain control over all the Sacred Gears… especially all the Longinus class Sacred Gears. Taking over the world would be easier that way… wouldn't you agree, Grayfia?" Hela questioned as her eyes started to glow.

"...Of course, my lady" Grayfia said as she also understood the power of ten Sacred Gear, especially the Longinus class Sacred Gear.

"Ah… Here they are…" Hela pointed out in an amused tone as she noticed hundreds of feathered humanoid creatures approaching them through the sky…
