Chapter 3
As soon as he finishes speaking, the formation underneath them starts to move, an aura of origin starts to leak out of it, it has a mystic feeling I have never felt before. I look at it deeply, intoxicated by it, I try to figure out its mysteries and let myself drift through this feeling.
"Never let yourself drift in to the mysteries of origin or you'll be lost forever," said the old man, getting me back to the real world, "You will have your chance to discover and use the mysteries of the origin eventually when you grow strong enough to do so,"
I felt a cold sweat on my back when I heard the consequences of drifting through the mysteries of the origin, I was this close saying goodbye to the world, although it won't happen as my father is just beside me.
He continued, "I know you may have a lot of questions in your mind right now, my child, but this is not the time, as I have said before, the 'Throne' will explain everything that you need to know" bearing no warmth that he used to have, only a cold seriousness emitting in him.
"I understand, father," I said, as I completely understand that this is not the time for questions.
"Come closer," he said as I started walking up to him, the moment I arrived in front of him, he said "Kneel!" As soon as he said that word, I kneeled, with little to no complaint.
"Will you, my child, accept your true name, Zuriel, 'the Angel of Libra', one who weighs the value of all, the regulator, and the one who attempts finds balance?" he said, his voice incoherent, filled with mysteries.
"I, one who has no name, will accept thy honor of giving this one his true name, will bear the responsibility given to me, and will never abandon it forevermore!" I said, accepting the name he has given to me and the responsibilities that come along with it.
"WITH MY AUTHORITY AS THE 30TH LEADER OF THE 'GODFIENDS', THE CURRENT POSSESSOR OF THE 'THRONE', HOLDER OF THE TITLE 'JUDGE', AND THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, I, SAMAEL, THE SERAPHIM OF DESTRUCTION, APPOINT THE CHILD IN FRONT OF ME AS 'THE ANGEL OF LIBRA' WITH A GIVEN NAME OF 'ZURIEL', NEVER ABANDON YOUR TRUE NAME, AS YOU WILL BE REMOVE FROM EXISTENCE IF YOU EVER DO SO!" he said, his voice filled with cold majesty, booming in every corner of the hall causing the hall to shake, threatening to collapse.
"May God the Father and all of the elders bear witness of this ceremonial inheritance!"
"I, the Supreme Elder, bear witness to this inheritance!"
"I, the First Elder, bear witness to this inheritance!"
"I, the Second Elder, bear witness to this inheritance!"
"I, the Third Elder, bear witness to this inheritance!"
"I, the Fourth Elder, bear witness to this inheritance!"
The world has already darkened with storms that was accompanied with lighting that strikes every second that passed and strong wind that was enough to bring down a tall tree. Animals was panicking, creating an onslaught that destroyed everything that was in their way. It was like the world was responding with the ceremony, destroying the old and creating a new.
"Let us welcome a new coming! Let us welcome a new era, where the world will shine brighter than before! May the next generation use their powers well, for the peace and glory of the mother earth and the Father in Heaven." the old man shouts, emitting a cold majesty and a light that seems to destroy even the tiniest bit of darkness, not letting any of it escape its grasp.
"May the glory of the emperor overpower the might of the holy Father," a new voice that was so dark, emitting an eerie atmosphere that came along with it, "Its good that I haven't missed much of the inheritance, have you been well all these years with those hidden injuries you got from me, Ah, old fogey?"
"We have been expecting an audience, didn't expect that all of you old fogeys came to congratulate my son's ceremonial inheritance," the old man said, not surprised on the fact that there were new faces that was with us in the hall.
"Well, what can we say, there was a good opportunity to eat some weakened winged animals waiting here, so why waste it?" all of the newcomers laughed.
There were a hundred of them, resembling the look of the devils. They emit auras that was so dark and powerful, indicating that all of them were equal to that of the supreme elder.
"Ah, how I missed the taste of you seraphim's, a being second only to that of Father! And now I get a chance of dining one again," a new one arrived, exiting on what seems like a dimensional gate, as soon as he came out, all of the devils bowed their heads respectfully to the being.
"You came here personally, and here I thought that you would only be sending a demon prince. Are you trying to start a holy war again by ascending from hell to the surface, Satan!" the old man said while frowning.
"AHAHAHAHA, how amusing, seeing how panicked you look. And what do you mean starting a holy war? Father has been dead for a long time already! There will never be a war, only a massacre will occur, as we, the devils, awake from our slumber!" the devil laughed as he exposes a terrible truth to us.
"WHAT?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! FATHER IS AN IMMORTAL BEING, HE CAN NEVER DIE!" the supreme elder shouted, panicked was visible from the way he said it. All of the other elders thought of this as well. They would never believe that their Father was dead, if so, then why have they not been alerted? The devil must be lying, misleading us so that we will let our guard down.
While my father didn't say anything, shocked wasn't visible in his face, he was calm throughout the conversation, is it a facade or was it the calm before the storm?
"You see, I have already knew since the beginning that Father has left the world, but he never died! Don't utter such heresy in front of me!" said my father "Now that you knew of the truth, I can never let you leave this place!"
"So you knew of the truth, that Father has ascended from a higher realm!" the devil said angrily, he just learned of the truth when he noticed how easy it was to corrupt the humans compared to when He was still here. "And what did u just say, about you never letting me leave this place? Come then, lets dance! Devils, you know what you are supposed to do!" he suddenly disappeared and came in front of the old man with a sword in hand.
"Understood!" all of them shouted and rushed towards us with an intent to kill.
"You are underestimating me too much, LUCIFER! Have you forgotten of who I am?!" the old man countered with his own attack without even standing up from his throne. "All of you, KNEEL!" the devils kneeled, like they were before a supreme being, greater than their leader.
"KILL THEM ALL AND LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND!" the old man ordered to the elders
"Impossible! You're a half step away from Father's level! HOW!" shouted Lucifer, panic showed in his face tinge with a bit of fear.

"You expected me to panic like that, did you?" he said, completely calm, like he never showed the panicked he had on his face before. "Have you taken me for an idiot, Ah, Samael? Do you think I have just been rotting in hell, oblivious on what's happening on the surface? You know me well, don't you, Samael? So, why have you suddenly become an idiot?" he continued, mocking my father.
Then suddenly, there was a sound of a seal breaking, each moment and each second that pass, it feels like eternity, and the cause of it was the rising dark aura of Satan. All of the pressure that was suffocating the devils suddenly went away and a new profound aura replaced the other, an aura darker than black, blackening the holy aura surrounding us.
"How wonderful it is to be free! I have been waiting for this moment millions of years since I was sealed! Now, it's time, time to prove Father that he should not have done this to me! Devils! Let the world know our terror and never let them forget it," Satan laughed, creeping all of us out.
I looked at my father, seeing if he still had maintained his calm, if so, then everything will be alright, right? If he is calm then it means he still has some hidden cards to trump the devils.
But...
Gone was the calmness of my father, instead was replaced by a pale face, like he was looking at something that was not supposed to be in this world, that it should not have exists.
"IMPOSSIBLE!"
