Chapter 32: God's Plan

A moment later after Zadkiel and Raphael talked, the Gods have finally come to Heaven for the meeting.

And at the end, Zadkiel never had a chance to talk to Azrael, since Jophiel failed to bring Azrael to Raphael.

Raphael is already with Michael, Gabriel, and Uriel to attend the meeting with Yahweh.

The other Archangels who weren't attending are then forced by Jophiel to wear a butler and maid outfit.

And as of now, all the males are dressing up their outfits in the dressing room.

Looking at it, Zadkiel noticed that Azrael has already worn his suit and left immediately.

While there are only two left in the room, which is Zadkiel and Barachiel.

Looking around everywhere, Barachiel asked Zadkiel. "Hey Zadkiel, Is Camael coming? Since you've worked with him the past couple of days, I thought that you would know."

"I don't know... Well for the fact I don't even know if Camael knows about the meeting in the first place."

"*Sigh* How lucky of Camael-"

They stopped talking, both Zadkiel and Barachiel heard two people arguing outside of the room. They got curious about who could the two be, Zadkiel and Barachiel agreed to listen in to the conversation.

Hearing who were arguing, they heard that it was Jophiel and Camael arguing outside of the dressing room.

They opened the door a little bit so that they can take a peek at what's happening in front of them.

Even if

they knew that it's bad to listen to someone's conversation, but hearing Camael and Jophiel fighting is what they would call very rare. Because the two often get along well, even in the past when Lucifer hasn't rebelled yet, the two get along really well.

So knowing what they're fighting for is what Barachiel and Zadkiel want to know.

And, since Zadkiel knew what's Camael has been doing lately, he can't stop his curiosity, because he thought he can gather some information about Camael's plan and base.

"Why return and leave at the same time Camael?! You know that I told you about the meeting with the Gods right?!"

"I'm busy doing and dealing something about my work back at Hell Jophiel! So stop forcing me to stay since I have to go back to Hell immediately!"

"But we have to show respect to-"

"Show respect to the Gods?!" Camael angrily stopped Jophiel from talking. "Are you kidding me Jophiel! They only asked Michael and the other three to attend! So why am I part of it!?"

"Bu-" Jophiel couldn't say what she wants to speak with Camael, due to Camael's anger, he won't let Jophiel speak a single word.

"And most of all Jophiel! Stop acting like you're our Mother since you'll never be like her! This is why you're so annoying and useless to all of us!"

Hearing what Camael has said to Jophiel, both Zadkiel and Barachiel was both upset and angry from what Camael has said to her.

Because even if the two knew that Jophiel can't replace their Mother, she has done everything she can to support not only the Archangels but the entirety of Heaven also.

So hearing Camael hurting Jophiel's feelings and hard work, is what got them to feel pity for Jophiel. she was already on the verge of crying from what she had heard, but she continues to fight on. "But even so! I want you to stay here with us!"

She said that while he forcedly pulled Camael's hand to show that she's determined for Camael to stay here in Heaven.

Reacting to this scene got Camael got very angry because she hasn't still given up on forcing him to stay here, so with a sign of Camael anger. "Let go of me you dumb swine!"

Slap!

As Jophiel received Camael slapping to her face, she fell on her knees in despair and sorrow.

Seeing what Camael has done to Jophiel, Zadkiel couldn't vent his anger toward Camael anymore, so he pushed the door with force and dashed to Camael.

"Camael!" A punch from the face was taken by Camael when Zadkiel came and dash to him.

The punch was strong that it pushes Camael to the wall, and even lost one tooth from Zadkiel's punch.

Barachiel then immediately went to Jophiel worriedly. "Are you okay Jophiel?"

Zadkiel pulled Camael's collar and pushed him to the wall, and asked him angrily. "Why did you slap Jophiel!?"

"Let go of me Zadkiel!" He crushed Zadkiel's fingers, Zadkiel decided to let go of Camael and went to Jophiel to check on her.

Camael fixed up his shirt casually, he looked at the three with anger. "Teach that stupid girl to never mess with someone's work."

Camael then opened a portal behind him and left immediately after the portal was created.

"Are you okay Jophiel? Can you stand up?" Barachiel worriedly asked her

Standing as best as she can, Jophiel gave the two a forced smile. "Thank you, Zadkiel; Barachiel, I'm okay now, come let's go to our stand and wait for the Gods."

"Okay..." They both softly replied.

Looking back at it, Zadkiel knew that Jophiel is just faking that smile that she gave the both of them.

Even if Zadkiel predicted that the outcome would be like that, he was still in shock and pain seeing her sister who helped him and everyone clear out many obstacles, would suffer through things like that.

"Jophiel..." I know that you're hiding something from us, because the smile you gave us, is already proof of it.

Patting Zadkiel's shoulder, Barachiel gave him a deep sigh. "You know Zadkiel, even if I'm faster than anyone else, I'm grateful that you moved faster than me when Jophiel was slapped... So can you help me protect Jophiel?"

"Even if you didn't say that of course I'll do it."

"Then let's go, the meeting has finally started."

The Archangels; all of them who weren't in the meeting were now all lining up in the hallway to greet the Gods and their attendees who were with them.

Yahweh and the four Archangels were already inside the room, and are all currently waiting for the other Gods to come.

Zadkiel and the others were all nervous because Jophiel said to them that this meeting is very important for the future of the Gods.

The people who came were Zeus with the God of Archery Apollo, Odin and the Goddess of Beauty Freyja, Tian Gong with the Moon Goddess Chang'e, Ahura Mazda with the Representative of Zoroastrianism Evil Angra Mainyu, Dagda with the Goddess of War Morrigan, and Amun-Ra with the Sky God Seth.

Looking at them when they arrive is already giving Zadkiel a chill on his spine, especially the way the Norse God of Beauty Freyja is looking and checking him very mischievously.

The way Zadkiel replied from the stare that Freyja gave him, made him mesmerize when she stared back at her because just like he heard, no one can escape the beauty of the Goddesses of Beauty.

And what also caught his attention, and also the others, is the Chinese Goddess of the Moon Chang'e, because the way they look at her is making them all terrified of something they don't even know.

Seeing her strikes them as odd, since when they met Chang'e in the past, she seems different from today from what they saw, and it's not her appearance that has changed, but something deep within her has changed.

The aura that enveloped her that the Archangel saw is what's odd with them because it's not like the same aura as the other Gods.

It's like seeing a different being is using the face of the Moon Goddess Chang'e, that is what Zadkiel thought when he saw her walking with Tian Gong.

And when the Gods have finally inside the room, Jophiel went to the front and said with a clear and loud voice. "Okay! Let's go to the dining hall and prepare the Gods for their dinner! Me, Zadkiel, Barachiel, and Cassiel will cook, and Azrael will be the waiter."

All of the Archangel then shouted at the same time. "Ma'am yes ma'am!"'

Seeing that Jophiel has finally calmed down and gone back to her serious mode, made Zadkiel and Barachiel happy again.

After the meeting was halfway done and their done preparing the food, the four Archangels who attended the meeting went to the dining room with a surprised and nervous look.

And among them, Gabriel was the only one who's calm within them.

Azrael who saw them all coming called the other Archangels to react to the three who were in despair.

And when Azrael looked at Uriel, he saw that Uriel was the one who was the most surprised of the three with him.

The Archangels who were cooking has finally got to Azrael, they were also in confusion about what happened to them, so Jophiel asked them worriedly. "Did something happened at the meeting?"

Gabriel answered Jophiel's question. "We have two problems right now, first is Zadkiel and Cassiel with a battalion of angels will join Lord Freyja and Lord Chang'e at the next battle against the Japanese Gods in the next two months."

Attacking the Japanese Gods? I know that they've joined forces with Poseidon, but if we're gonna attack them, isn't that suicidal though? Especially since the three Japanese Gods: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are still alive.

But... "So what is my, Cassiel, and the others' objective Gabriel?" It's just up to our mission if it's gonna be easy.

"The objective is to get the legendary sword of the God Susanoo, which is Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi..."

The legendary and mythical sword of Japan, and one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan, the sword Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, or now famously known as Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is their primary objective.

Jophiel then slammed the table in shock and anger. "What!? Isn't that impossible to do!?"

"I know... That's why it's a problem getting it since it was reported also that Japan has possibly 10 Gods alive, and especially since Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are still alive."

Everyone was worn out from what they have heard, because if this mission is true, then the possibility of Zadkiel and Cassiel dying on the battlefield is high.

Fighting a God whose strength is one of the highest, is deemed impossible for an Archangel to even beat.

So all of them were confused on why Zadkiel, Cassiel, Freyja, and Chang'e are the only ones sent to fight on the battlefield.

Even if they knew that most of the Gods that served the other mythologies were all dead, they can't accept that only four are coming to the battlefield in Japan.

Seeing Jophiel who was in immense despair and anger, she asked Gabriel. "So what's the other on Gabriel..? You said that there are two problems, so what is it..?"

"Well... *Tsk* Back at the meeting, Lord Amun-Ra was laughing loudly on our Lord's face, and looking at why he laughed, it actually made me laugh in despair too." Gabriel's face was filled with rage and denial from what he was about to say. "Because our Lord revealed that Camael has betrayed us and is now attempting to not only destroy Hell but also Heaven too."

Tears are what Zadkiel saw flowing in both of Jophiel's eyes, she was crying in despair and sadness from what she had heard,

even Raphael was also seen by Zadkiel crying on the table.

Zadkiel, Azrael, and Uriel who all knew about Camael's plan all along were not really affected emotionally from what they have heard, but the fact that they saw Jophiel and Raphael in tears is what affected them the most.

And remembering the time when he and Barachiel were in the dressing room, because the way they saw Jophiel helplessly begging Camael to stay, and the way Camael rejected her offer by slapping her too, is what got them both weak.

Cassiel who was now hugging both Jophiel and Raphael is calming them both down. "It's okay... It's okay... Everyone, let's first forget about this now and talk about it later since we need to finish preparing dinner for the Gods, so boys you all finish doing this, while us three girls are all going to Raphael's room so that I can calm them all down."

After Cassiel has taken the other two girls to Raphael's room, all of the boys who were left behind have finally started moving on to the dining room.

And the meeting has already ended, so the Gods have already gone to the dining room for their dinner.

When Azrael has served the food they made to the Gods, he noticed them being impressed by the cooking of the food,

except for one person, Azrael was curious about the Moon Goddess Chang'e, because for some reason she hasn't eaten her food yet.

She's just there sitting and doing nothing, even if he knew that Chang'e was a shy and mute Goddess, but the feeling of looking at her like some sort of display is creepy enough to even scare Azrael.

Even when he talked to her about what's the problem is, Chang'e doesn't react to any interaction of Azrael, but instead Tian Gong is talking in her stead.

What he said to Azrael was. "Don't worry about giving food to Chang'e, she happens to eat a lot of food back at home."

So Azrael can't do a thing, but take the word of what Tian Gong has said to him.

"Lord Chang'e... What has happened to you?" Azrael softly whispered in confusion.

"Excuse me Azrael!"

Instantly creating a clone and teleporting it to where the voice came from, he saw that it was Freyja who was calling him. "What is it, my Lord?"

"This beef burgundy is delicious, can you tell me who made it?"

He looked at the beef burgundy and inspected the way it was cooked. "This was made by the Archangel Zadkiel, my Lord..."

With a cute smile, she said. "Zadkiel... *Giggle* Can you tell him to come here? I want to talk to him a bit..."

"Sure my Lord" He bowed and teleported to the kitchen to get Zadkiel for Freyja.

Zadkiel then immediately went outside the kitchen and went to Freyja nervously.

What did I do for Lord Freyja to call me? Is my cooking really bad? But everyone said that it was delicious. "*Cough* Is there a problem my Lord?"

"This meal that you made is really delicious and appetizing, so I called you here to thank you for the delicious meal that you made *giggle*."

"I'm grateful for the compliment my Lord!" Thank god, I thought she hated my beef burgundy, but good thing that she liked and enjoyed it.

"Tell me Zadkiel, as the Archangel of Yahweh, isn't lonely for you that it's prohibited for you to get a significant other?"

"What do you mean my Lord..? As an Archangel, it's not normal for us to have romantic feelings toward others... So to answer your answer, my Lord, I don't get lonely at all."

Standing up from her seat, Freyja went closer to Zadkiel. "How sad... Then what you're saying is that if you aren't an angel of some sort, then you can have a lover right?"

Zadkiel was flustered and anxious from the current situation he is facing because a God is hitting on him, so he has to refuse, but because of some weird interference coming to his mind, he was confused on why he can't just say no to her.

Freyja was already touching Zadkiel's face with her right hand and whispered to him. "Will you say yes if you become my husband then, Zadkiel?"

Zadkiel's brain was fighting on deciding whether to answer Freyja's question, with yes or no.

He couldn't handle Freyja's seductiveness and beauty, even if he forced himself to stop giving in to it, Zadkiel just can't let go of Freyja's control.

"Zadkiel? Your answer?"

"I, I- uhmm- ye-"

"Can you stop seducing and using your skill to make Zadkiel give in to you Freyja?" Yahweh politely asked.

Coming in his way to save Zadkiel from Freyja, Yahweh interfered with what Freyja was doing to Zadkiel.

"Oh Yahweh, is there a problem?"

"Yes there's a problem Freyja, can you let Zadkiel go now?"

"Fine, fine, if you insist."

Whispering to Zadkiel one last time. "I hope we can talk again, Zadkiel *giggle*."

Finally letting go of Zadkiel, Freyja went back to Odin and Zeus to have a conversation with the both of them.

"You can go back to the kitchen again Zadkiel."

"Uh- yes my Lord, and thank you for saving me from Lord Freyja." Bowing one last time, Zadkiel immediately went back to the kitchen.

What was that? It's like something was interfering with my mind and will when Lord Freyja was seducing me.

I hope I won't talk to her ever again, but I have to since Cassiel and I are both gonna work with her and Lord Chang'e in two months to attack the Japanese Gods.

So I hope I can work with Millie and the others while doing my work here with the Gods.

"*Sigh* I just hope I can fight through Lord Freyja's beauty and control the next time she talks to me, I hope."
