Chapter 73 - Throne

Everyone was silent and no dared to speak at what they are witnessing. They felt unbelievable amount of aura coming from four unknown individual. All of them were confused of their appearances as it was akin to their own with few different namely the foreign runes and symbols.

"May I ask who you are?"(Michael)

They stood glancing towards him though his eyes wasn't due to his visor but Michael could feel his gaze was loving and calming. He smiled warmly towards melting their worries.

"No need to be stiff, My brother. I am Sariel and the hidden child of our father."

"Hello everyone, my name is Ciel and Oh you look cute Gabriel-chan! Look nee-san!"

"You're hugging her too tightly. Anyway my name is Celestiel and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Yo! The name's Altariel!"

Their introduction had cause everyone to slowly digest everything they learn. Meanwhile, Gabriel felt pleasant in the warm hug of Ciel who had the same personality as her. They were much stronger than anyone in the room even Michael cant fully comprehend their power but he manage to full himself from the confusion and begin asking qu re stion.

"Forgive me but hidden child of father? Are you telling me that father had created other angel beside us seraphs?"

"Hahaha well we've been existence for a long time even longer than you but this is the first time we regain physical body."

"Wait if father created you then does that mean his alive!!?"(Uriel)

"It is not my task to tell that but master if you please sit down on the throne."

The angels came out of their daze and was livid from his statement. They couldn't allow anyone to sit upon their father's throne but Michael gesture to remain silent as Issei gradually went on the pedestal where the beautiful golden throne was laid.

"Are you sure about this?"(Issei)

"Worry not Issei this will benefited by many."(Celestiel)

Issei was hesitant even if his not religious doesn't mean he is willing to disrespect them. He felt it was inappropriate but Celestiel reassure him. Caressing the throne, Issei felt a jolt of energy seeping into his body and when he sat down everything change. The throne began to glow shocking everyone as the brilliant light was breath taking.

The whole world was being affected by his action as human who's prayer and faith to god suddenly felt a sense of comfort. Humanity were all in unity dreaming of bright future where everything was at peace.

'Like vandalieu, he does have the 'Guider' and path. Thankfully he would meet him soon.'(Sariel)

Every angel was astonished from what they witness as heaven itself felt more unified and calming. It was the same when their father was present causing some of them to cry. Michael sense his connection with humanity and system was complete severed though remain calm knowing that it was Issei doing.

Meanwhile, Issei was busy adjusting to everything as his body was being overloaded with a unknown power. Though he had clue that it was faith of humanity to god. The true Maou bloodline was being tempered getting even thicker than before. He knew that he had unlocked a new ability but unsure what.

"Hahaha so you finally came, my boy."

The angel shudder hearing a foreign voices that had countless accumulated voice that was full of love and affection. Michael froze for moment then tried to find the owner of the voice. He saw behind the throne came out was young boy with short blonde hair wearing white clothes that circle above the case appearing to be the galaxy.

Furthermore, he had a twinkling shape star above it and golden scarf that had triangle patterns same that wrapped his waist. His eyes which was deep blue looked at him and the rest with loving gaze despite being a child held the eyes of parent.

"F-Father is that you!? You're alive!!"(Michael)

"F-Father we miss you!!"(Gabriel)

Every angel tried to approach and hug him but only met the floor. The young boy giggled seeing them too excited when he hasn't explain everything.

"It's everyone is still energetic as I left it. Unfortunately, what you all seeing is but projection of my images, triggered by the boy sitting on my throne"

"Where are you father!? Why show yourself now?"(Michael)

"….Forgive me for being unable to with you. I wish to be able to stay but those creature didn't allow me. Their many secret I cannot tell you until everything is over."

The young boy bitterly said having pained expression seeing his children hurt but his currently doing is vital for their existence. The angel were silent seeing their father sadden.

"Father you don't need to apologize, we all understand. But can you at least tell us what we need to do to help you?"(Michael)

"Thank you, My child. There are only few things for you to help me and the main one is allying yourself with the two other faction along with few mythologies. I know the war had many causalities but it was mere conspiracy brought upon my enemy."

He clenched his fist in anger, a rare sight for their father who always calmed and loving rarely dislike anyone even the four Maou and Azazel fall, he had always optimistic about them.

"Who are these enemy, Father?"(Gabriel)

"They are abomination created from the sea of chaos far from the reach of creation. These creatures are called by many names, eldritch gods, forgotten gods, Evil gods, and most notably the Outer gods. You cannot hope to fight them, my children."

If their father said that they have no hope of fighting then this creature would be immensely powerful. He was able to openly speak of them due the newly strengthen heaven. Everyone was more safe from the influence of the outer gods.

The outer gods cannot be easily killed by enemy and only few had the capability. Furthermore, it had requirements that needed to be fulfilled in fighting them.

"There only few capable of fighting them and one is my real body. Who is currently in constant battle with them?"

"Are you alright father!?"(Gabriel)

"I am quite alright, my child. That boy is the reason I am alive. Forgive me but I have to go. Do not worry and never try to find me as I am not in these world. Remember work together and Sariel will explain everything for you."

Michael was saddened seeing his father slowly fading but vowed to fulfill his part in the world. The young boy turn to Issei giving one last smile.

"Issei protect them."

"I will! I'll make sure to repay you with everything you given me."

"Hahaha well my boy one-day you'll be able meet Vandalieu and finally receive your guidance. Oh also Gabriel worry not, I approve of your love for Issei and shall not fall."

Gabriel who heard her father was overflowed in emotion. She had been troubled for so long about falling but now her father had given the changes to fall in life without falling.

"Guidance!?"

Before he could asked for more the young boy disappear leaving them having a mix emotion but most of them was happiness knowing their father is alive and protecting them. Michael quickly commanded the other angel to begin working and report the recent change.

"Now then, I would like an explanation of everything about the four of you."(Michael)

"Well it would be a long story but before that Issei should return back."(Sariel)

"I understand I'll let Gabriel escort them."

Gabriel happily cling herself to Issei knowing finally that she wouldn't fall even how much she show her loved for Issei. After leaving the seventh heaven towards the gates Irina who had been quiet the whole time decided to speak.

"Oh my god! That person was the almighty father and I met him!! I feel so fortunate to be the first one to him again!!"

"Hey girl calmed down a bit."

"Oi you have another explanation with the other girls about that! You didn't tell us you met god before?"

Issei only nodded and descended back to earth before saying goodbye with Gabriel who needed to stay to help her brother but she would visit him soon. Both of them finally return where Azazel was waiting for them and quickly asked what happened in heaven.

'Guidance? Like training??'(Issei)

Issei gave a thought of the final words of Big G to him. He needed to meet Vandalieu in order to know the meaning of those words but didn't know how. Putting it aside, he still needed to meet up with the Hero faction and train them.
