Chapter 38

"What? Like this?" asked Mina

"The plan was to make a deal with Lucifer, so that he would protect us from the gods."

"But it looks like someone forgot to mention some details." Hye replied as she looked at Lucifer

"And what are those details?" asked Mina

"He forgot to say that even with the agreement, we would have to deal with any kind of indirect attack by the gods." replied Hye

"So the deal won't do any good?" asked Mina

"Not quite!"

"If we hadn't made that deal, the gods would be attacking us."

"And if that were the case, we would already be dead." replied Lucifer seriously

"And what should we do now?" asked Mina

"Well, us."

"Nothing!"

"Now it! They have to strive to become stronger. " said Lucifer while pointing the finger at Hye

"It's easy for you to speak, right?"

"Look at the bad luck I have with dungeons."

"The last time I went to one, I found you!" said Hye yelling at Lucifer

"And you, Lucifer! Can't you get stronger? " asked Mina

"It wouldn't be impossible."

"But at this point for us it is." replied Lucifer sitting in front of the house

"Because?" asked Mina confused

"Why! That old man created us angels with a limit of power, so that we would not become stronger than him. "

"So even if I train or merge with my self that is in hell, our power will be the same as before. And it cannot be eaten! " replied Lucifer

"But didn't you just say that there is a way for you to get stronger?" asked Mina and Hye confused

"You don't let anything go, do you?" when Lucifer said that, Mina and Hye started to smile, looking like they took it as a compliment

"You weren't supposed to smile!" exclaimed Lucifer

"Then! Are you going to speak or not? " asked Hye now seriously

"Okay, I say it, but I think you won't like it!"

"We will see."

"Millions of years ago, before I rebelled, or even your world was built."

"There were not seven, but nine archangels. And one of us who was also one of the most powerful, betrayed the old man before me, and the reason was obviously also another. "

"Anael was your name."

"Anael was one of the most powerful and ancient archangels created by the old man, and for that reason he was also one of the closest to him."

"A few million years before the earth was created, Anael had a doubt. Why, even after much training, none of us archangels or angels could get stronger? "

"He tried to ask the old man, but he didn't get the answer he expected."

"The old man told him that all angels had limitations, not mental but physical."

"No matter how much an angel or archangel trains, their power will never increase, it will always remain the same."

"When Anael discovered this, he wondered why the old man had done such a thing. Why impose a limit on your biggest creations? Why do such a thing to the beings who loved, adored and respected him most? "

"Even after thinking for years Anael managed to think of only one alternative, which he was afraid of being overcome."

"That the old man didn't want anything or someone to be on the same level or stronger than him."

"And that idea only got stronger and stronger in Anael's head. Until the moment came when the old man came up with the idea of creating other beings, you humans. "

"And just like us angels, you humans would also have limitations, but limitations even greater than those of us angels."

"You would have both mental and physical limitations and you still wouldn't have any kind of divine power."

"When Anael heard this he only thought one thing, that the old man would not be doing anything more than that, more beings to be below him worshiping him."

"So thinking about it Anael tried to think of some way to get stronger. Until he thought of one. "

"What if he took divine power from other angels?"

"With that idea in mind, Anael made her first victim, Dina, a low-level angel in the hierarchy of power that exists between angels."

"And taking Dina's power, Anael got a little stronger, a figure close to 15% as he told me."

"Discovering this, Anael tried to convince the other archangels to do the same as he did. Steal the power of a low-level angel to climb your own. "

"Like me, all the other archangels refused what Anael was trying to do, and we said that if he continued we would tell the old man."

"But even after our warning, Anael did not stop, instead he was doing it more and more and more hidden."

"Unlike the other archangels, I knew what Anael was doing, but different from the others, I also wanted to see if there was still a limit to increase our power, so even though I knew what Anael was doing, I let him continue without telling the old man . "

"But even if I didn't confirm what he was doing, Anael was gradually getting more and more sloppy. "

"He was no longer taking the powers of only low-level angels, now he was also taking the high and medium-level ones as well."

"And with him doing that, I knew it would only be a matter of time before he was discovered."

"But then, wanting to know how far he would be able to go, I started cleaning up the sloppy tracks he left behind, so he wouldn't be discovered."

"After a few years, Anael had already taken the power of hundreds of angels, but even with this great lack in the number of angels the old man did not notice, or rather he did not even care, it seemed that those angels were not so important to him , how much he made it look. "

"Then a few more years passed and Anael had reached a total of a thousand angels that he had already killed and seized power."

"But after he reached that number, he stopped evolving again."

"Seeing this, I thought he would stop doing it and go back to normal. But that is not what happened. "

"Addicted to always having to be strengthening his power, Anael did not stop. On the contrary, he thought of another way to get more power. "

"He saw that neither low, medium or high level angels were working to increase his power. So the only alternative was to take the power of an archangel. "

"But that would be difficult, since unlike lower-level angels, archangels were always united, they always walked together. Until that time. "

"Anael knew that if he wanted to take the power of an archangel, he would have to prepare himself to defend himself against the wrath of the other archangels, and of the old man too, since the archangels were a little different from the normal angels for him, due to the fact from not being able to make several archangels at once. So if one of his archangels disappeared he would definitely call. "

"So with that in mind Anael went on to form her own army, going from the lowest level among the angels to the highest recruiting angels to rebel against the old man."

"I saw that this would certainly cause great problems, I went to the archangel that I was closest to."

"Archangel Angel. She was like a little sister to me, and Anael knew that. "

"I went to her and told her to be very careful from that time on."

"After a few years of trying to talk angels to rebel, Anael had finally gotten a good following"

"He had gained 500 followers, most of them at low level, there were 300 low levels, 150 medium and 50 high, which were more than enough, since he alone would be able to win the war after taking the power of an archangel, of course, if the old man wasn't there too "

"After finally getting her followers, Anael thirsty for more power, started to think which of the other eight archangels would be the easiest to kill and steal power."

"I had always been away from the other archangels, but I was always close to the old man. The other archangels always stayed together so attacking them would be more difficult. But there was an archangel that was not even close to the old man, much less close to the other archangels. "

"And that was Angel!"
