He could be, although my assumption would be that it's less for his personal desires and more to give the rest of Hell what they want. The same reason we're stuck with any of the other random occurrences around here, probably.
[ she looks as if she has something snarky to say but nah, they can have a memory viewing now in the lovely garden.
the way I wanna make a new mem for u but I'm in BED so I will gibe one Chandra has yet to see. ]
You can hear the roaring sound of flames and a wall of hot fire appears between you and an unfamiliar archangel in front of you. What's actually familiar is white Hellfire you know to be from one specific archangel. The frowning strange archangel before you steps back while shaking his hands. He has flowing, platinum-blond hair, slightly shining violet eyes, and the radiant wings of an archangel.
He questions the one intervening, […What are you doing?]
The arriving archangel is much more familiar than the last, her voice normally so sweet-sounding sounds as sharp as a blade, [ Get lost, Michael. ]
The unfamiliar archangel stares at Uriel for a moment before smiling.
[ Uriel, you must’ve gone crazy after quitting demon hunting. ]
A purple energy started to overflow wildly in Michael’s body.
[ The constellation ‘Saviour of Corruption’ is preparing the ‘Demon King Slayer’ story.]
The green meadow was dyed with purple waves. The grass withered and an eerie sensation rose from your feet.
Michael’s status was aimed at you but someone blocked it.
“Archangels are basically ruthless?” A woman was standing in front of you with the Sword of Judgment. Her shoulders were faintly trembling and her spirit was shrinking back. Nevertheless, she was brave. The will of a human withstood the pressure in front of the archangel’s killing intent. Behind such a strange human stood Uriel.
There was a blazing glow in the background. Hellfire rose and the fields of Eden were filled with sparks that could only be Uriel's.
You gulped as the situation reached the bursting point.
It's apparent knowledge that Uriel was one of the top five strongest archangels. She had the highest voice in Eden among the constellations of the absolute good system.
Even so, her opponent was Michael. An unmatched archangel with all types of combat abilities. In Eden, there was no archangel beyond Michael in pure combat power alone.
[The constellation ‘Friend of Justice and Harmony’ is dissuading ‘Saviour of Corruption’.]
[The constellation ‘Guardian of Youths and Travel’ is looking at the ‘Saviour of Corruption.’]
[The constellations of the absolute good system are criticizing the ‘Saviour of Corruption.’]
Michael didn’t back down despite the messages pouring from the sky. Rather, he seemed to find it funny.
[Yes, it’s time to show who is the strongest in Eden.]
At the same time, Michael’s purple and white aura simultaneously formed around his hands. The force swirled around both hands. The aura soon turned into a two-handed sword. Sweat flowed down your body.
[The constellation ‘Scribe of Heaven’ is warning the ‘Saviour of Corruption.’]
A huge storm broke out and the sparks in the surroundings were instantly extinguished. This was the power of Eden’s highest constellation. At the very least, this huge pressure couldn’t be countered in Eden. The violence created silence as Michael belatedly dispersed his momentum.
Michael stared up at the sky for a while before grumbling, […Even you? Eden seems to be gone now.]
Michael turned around and started to move away. The heads of demon kings were hanging from his waist like fruit.
Once Michael completely disappeared over the hill, the human woman sighed and put away her sword.
You turn your head and see Uriel looking this way.
Archangel Uriel. She was more familiar to how she presented herself at Trial and Execution. She wore Eden’s uniform with cross earrings and looked elegant. The usual mischievous feeling couldn’t be found as nobility overflowed from her body.
[■■ ■■…]
The name seems blocked from memory. She stares at you with complicated eyes before suddenly making a startled expression. Then she turned towards the human like she was avoiding your gaze.
[It’s nice to see you, Jung Heewon. Is this the first time you’ve met me like this?]
Jung Heewon’s lips were slightly parted as she faced Uriel. Perhaps it was a type of excitement. Indeed, this was the first time Jung Heewon had seen Uriel. The Uriel in front of you right now was in a completed state. The archangel in front of you was the true nature of the Demon-like Judge of Fire.
[SOUR, IRRITATED, a hard heat. Uriel would be aware of the clear difference in strength with her (the top 5) pitting against Michael (easily top 1 for combat) and yet clashed against him anyways. but, she sighs after a moment]
Michael, Saviour of Corruption, has lost himself an incredibly long time ago. He has killed and been killed, resurrected countless times, he's become but fragments of who he once was because of those revivals. Eager to be tasked to kill, what with his obsession in killing Demon Kings. It was the only time he could be satisfied I suppose.
Despite having once eaten a Star fruit relic, which allowed him to become a Demon King. [ a quiet scoff. ] "Lucifer", King of Corrupted Angels, his Modifier would change and yet he so loathed being called Lucifer.
... Not it matters much now. Since he's been dead for some time. It surprised me more that his face wasn't the first I found down here.
[ that's easily because Chandra still stands by logic and other reasonings for himself. Michael truly has become head empty, only kill.
also the look she gives him is a Please No]
I'd rather not.
[ her wings ruffle a little. ]
I used to do a lot of demon hunting in my past, "Demon Hunter Uriel" was one of my alias. I've killed over hundreds of them. [ tilts her head. ] As I've mentioned before, there has always been a divide between demons and angels.
I eventually stopped my endless hunting to focus on other tasks given to me. The monitoring, observing-- focusing on what Metaton needed me to do.
... Well, both important tasks. Ultimately, there's more to duty than mindless fighting.
[this might be hypocritical coming from chandra considering that he and so many gods were like "what if we didn't bother fighting top-tier nastikas every time they stir up trouble because it's too much effort to save some humans when humans die so often already and it doesn't impact the universe at large". anyway.]
[ she nods, there is also importance in just monitoring and observing. especially when it opens up opportunities. sure she is feral and destructive on battle but she's not severely fight hungry as that may imply.
after all, monitoring brought some meaning to her ever long existing life. finding a story she loves. ]
No, I don't regret it.
[ every choice she's led up to back home, she would stand by her actions. eats ur html ]
... The notion of an "Absolute Good" is laughable to me—but I guess it's not that different in practice from the value of "preserving the universe" that the gods of my world [including himself] live by.
chandra feels a little called out whether or not uriel knows it wow. either way, he'd be delusional if he said he didn't see the appeal in doing nothing, especially when brahma herself told him specifically that he'd be better off that way.]
... Too bad, then. Though it's always easy to say one thing and then do another.
[ THIS IS SO FUNNY HELP. but no she's. she's being really specific with what she is saying. ]
That is true. [ a sigh ]
It was mostly the Ancient's expectations and sheer entertainment of it when it came down to the Great War. Allowing those that align themselves Absolute Good and Absolute Evil fight it out. What with the Chaos factor.
[ ancients truly watched this war like it was a football game. wanting their ideals to prove as a winner without any involvement. ]
But it is not as if Constellations and Incarnations themselves can avoid involvement in the Scenarios, so we dealt with matters anyways. Considering the penalties and risks in not completing them and all.
... When those above you are fighting, it makes a mess of everything. Visnu and Kali seem somewhat similar to your Ancient in this case.
[albeit for visnu and kali it's half them being manipulative and half them not being in a position to affect things differently so using everyone as their pawns in the war it is.]
Though your entire thing about Scenarios just makes everything sound even more complicated.
another memory starts playing as i see if i can burn down this cr at the last moment (no) (unless?)... i'm lazy so scroll past the chapter title segment to when chandra shows up and stop when the scene transitions out again + the author note at the very bottom it's very important. indra is the fckin god of sky/lightning help]
[ that's pretty hecked. i say as i keep rereading to see if i'm understanding this correctly. but also points at chandra charging
exterminating humans, their destruction-- all for the sake of the universe? for an extended future? there's the immediate judge on that thought but. she doesn't know their entire situation, just clips of memories from time and time again. then again, isn't Uriel biased in the end herself? favoring those she loves and cares for? she did not start to fight back until Kim Dokja came along after all. at least in this life.
she thinks of Constellations. a few like her, may cherish humans, but majority seek entertainment from all of their suffering. resenting them, indulging in their failures and death. between those that watch humanity suffer for sake of simple entertainment, or those that sacrifice them for the supposed better universe. which of the two is the greater evil, i wonder.
she doesn't say anything for now, just looking to Chandra. would he elaborate more on what they saw? or will he also stay quiet? ]
