CONSUMING THE SWORD OF ANGEL
"No, how can you burn my body. Are you a fool?" Mother Nahase screamed at Rinna in her soul realm.
"This is your body not mine. You are dead a long time ago, Rest in Peace", Rinna told the mother.
"Do you know you have forsaken the power of the gods by destroying my former body, how can you become the new Serpent of Trinity without my magic?" Nahase asked Rinna angrily.
"I am not interested in your prophecies and your religion in the first place. I will grow my own magic and in my own way. Stay out of my business", Rinna told the Mother of Serpent's soul in her soul realm.
"Fool, you will never acquire magic equivalent to mine. You will regret this", Nahase protested.
"I will not. Do you think I am not aware of your treachery. Once I obtain the magic from your dead body, you can control them just like how the Dark Angel controls the Sword of Malevolence. I will not give you the chance", Rinna explained to her.
"Fool", Nahase protested again and lamented before she added, "This is the end of the Revelations".
"On the contrary, if the Revelation is true, this will mark the new beginning", Rinna replied to her.

"Why the hell must you burn this bloody garden?" Sara asked me.
"Yeah, you can leave the body of the Mother Serpent as it is even if you don't want it. What does burning it, achieve? The Trinity's magic will be greatly hampered without the Serpent's magic", Ratatouille asked me.
"The Trinity if they exist will not need the power from their old selves", Rinna told him about her opinion.
"Because this garden and the corpses of the serpents are the greatest fuels for my flame, I discovered this merely by chance", I replied to them.
"Are you kidding me? You are only playing with fire like a stupid child?" Ratatouille questioned me and I nodded to him guiltily.
"I don't understand, what flame are you talking about?" Rinna asked me.
"Only the greater fire ignited by the Flame of Dragons can awaken the Sword of Angel", I replied to them.
When the dragon Xexgana gave me the Sword of Angel, he told me that only the fire in the Garden of Eden could awaken its powers. Lilith the Dragon Mother believes the Flame of the Dragon was the flame to ignite this fire.
"What is the Sword of Angel?" Sara asked.
"The Sword of Angel is the only weapon that can kill angels", I replied to them.
"Why do you need such a weapon?" Rinna asked me.
"Because sooner or later, the angels will cross path with us. It is wise to build some leverage", I replied to them.
"You will need to be able to control the Sword of Angel when it forms. This is the weapon of the gods, not just anybody can claim it", Ratatouille reminded me.
"I am not just anybody", I reminded him back.

Suddenly, the flames consuming the Garden of Eden surged toward the Sword of Angel, converging with fierce intensity.
The holy blade, once untouchable, began to melt under the heat of the divine fire. Its form warped and shifted as it was drawn into the fiery crucible of Eden itself.
From the molten metal, a new weapon was being forged. A long, gleaming sword slowly took shape within the blaze, its edges sharp with celestial power.
But before the Sword of the Angel could fully form, another force intervened—a dark, sinister blade hurtling through the inferno, seeking to claim the emerging weapon's power.
This was no ordinary sword.
The Sword of Malevolence collided with the half-formed sword, wrapping it in a shroud of darkness. The malevolent blade absorbed the angelic magic, devouring its radiance and binding its light in shadow.
The Sword of Angel, now engulfed by the darkness of the Malevolent Sword, was lost to the abyss.

"Did your Sword of Malevolence capture the Sword of Angel?" Ratatouille asked me in surprise.
"Yes," I replied.
"Do you have a weapon that can kill angels now?" Rinna asked me.
"My Sword of Malevolence is assimilating the magic of the Sword of Angel. It will take time before their magic converges and before it could be used effectively", I replied to her.
Suddenly, some winged beings were seen descending from the sky.
"We have company. There are more than a dozen of them. They look like the bloody apostles but their magic seems to be far stronger than them", Sara told us suddenly about her observation.
"You gained back your scanning?" I asked her.
"Yes, after the flame burned the bloody garden", she replied to me.
"My magic has returned to me too", Ratatouille told us.
"Now what should we do?" Rinna asked me.
"A fight is unavoidable with these bird men but you all should return to the Hell Tank. I'll fight with them alone", I told them.
"No, I can help you fight", Rinna protested.
"Don't worry about me, these bird men won't harm me and besides my magic works better if I am alone with them", I replied to her.
"You can't kill all of them. They will hunt you later even if you escaped from them", Sara reminded me.
"You are right. In that case, I will need to use another face", I replied.
"Whose face are you going to use as a scapegoat now? What new scam are you running?" she asked but I didn't reply to her.
There was no time to run my plans with her.
Soon, Rinna and Sara returned to our Hell Tank inside my Faberge ring. Even Ratatouille returned to my soul realm to hide from the coming danger.

Winged beings, clad in garments of the purest white, descended upon the charred ruins of the Garden of Eden. Their eyes, wide with horror, beheld the devastation—the once mystical garden, now reduced to smoldering ashes and decay, consumed by an unholy fire.
Amid their shock and sorrow, their gaze fell upon the figure responsible for the ruin. He stood before them, proud and defiant, his presence a stark contrast to the sacredness they had sworn to protect.
With solemn determination, the winged beings drew their radiant swords and raised their gleaming shields. They stood united, ready to confront the vile enemy who had dared to desecrate the hallowed grounds of Eden.
