Chapter 165: The Garden of Eden

Michael POV

"Why did you warn her?"

"Because it isn't a fair battle by any stretch. Besides, even with the warning, it's not like she can suddenly have a contingency."

"She defeated Milel. She may have a strategy."

"Calm down, she told me how she beat my sister, unless you idiotically fly into her mouth while she's a dragon, you should be fine… then again, I don't know how you would cut her while she's in dragon form."

"What do you mean?"

"She's massive, larger than New York City. She would be incredibly hard to cut. Not to mention the durability of her scales."

My eyes widened. She was that big?!

Gabriel, as though he heard my thoughts, nodded.

"It will be quite the challenge to take her down, and the proposed theory by Garden, is that she get's bigger with each major power boost."

"So… once she gets to 800…"

"She may be too big to hurt at all."

"How can a human even control a form that large?"

"I do not know. But, as I said before, it may just be better to let her go and propose peace."

"No, if she wants to be the only Supreme being, then that means that she will eventually go after the Ruler, I need to eliminate her before that."

"It's because of that that I'm not stopping you, but please listen, you won't win. She has a way to bring back demons and turn them into some new kind of angel, if she does that to Milel and her faction, then you will have to battle Milel and her army."

"I don't fear fantasy Gabriel, I forge my own victory."

"I understand that, but I've seen Hades and Asmodeus, they have metallic wings and draconic aspects. If she gets a whole army like that, even you wouldn't be able to win."

"I'm done with this, pick a side or get out. Neither side wants you to just complain in our ears."

Gabriel grimaced.

"Don't blame me when she burns you."

Then he flew to the gate and returned to his heavenly realm.

"Do you think that was wise, Lord Michael?"

My aide, Elinor approached me, handing me tea.

"Perhaps, I lashed out, but he should know that I don't just back down."

"But Lord, if what Lord Gabriel said is true, that means that this Rose not only has an angelic army on par with yours, but she also has a commander that is stronger than you."

"I will not lose to Milel the next time we meet, no matter what, and there's one thing that neither Gabriel, nor Rose accounted for."

"Sir."

"The Author hates the Ruler and his warriors, but who does the Author currently despise more than anyone else right now."

"Sir?"

"He will twist it to our benefit if only to eliminate Rose."

I smiled as my aide started smiling as well.

"And, even if that doesn't work, we do have that secret weapon."

We were going to win.

_

"Oooookay….. That didn't work."

"…figured that out…"

Milel was prone on the ground. The Gate launched her into a wall the moment her foot passed through it.

"Hmmmm. The easiest solution would be to make you a body here then carry you out."

"Would that work?"

"Yep, but be careful not to move after I do it, or you will instantly die, you will be in a less severe but similar situation as Quarinara."

"I see, well… do it."

"Got it."

{Create}

Then Hell shuddered and shook, but I ignored it. Focusing only on Milel and her body. But it was painful.

"Gh… GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"

Then it stopped, her body was made.

"Um… Rose?"

"Yes, Mil-"

I opened my eyes and gaped; she was standing in her body… but…. This wasn't hell.

"Where are we?"

"Hell."

"Impossible."

Before us was a garden spread with pure beauty and purity. Trees, bushes, and every other plant.

Milel took a shaky step forward, a tear dripping down her face.

"What is it?"

"This is where he hid it?"

"Milel?"

"Rose, do you know what you just uncovered?"

"No."

She smiled.

"It's Eden. Hell is Eden."

_

We went to the same Café we did before then froze. Quarinara was standing.

"Incredible, I can feel, I can move…"

Then she noticed me and smiled.

"Rose, you did this, didn't you."

"Unintentionally, but yes."

It was then that I realized just how large Quarinara was. She was about 9 ft tall.

"Incredible, I can finally move again. This place healed my scars."

Then an announcement shone through my mind. It shook He- Eden and I'd assume other worlds.

[The Supreme world Eden now belongs to Rose Hood. It is now a subworld of the Faction Garden. Notice: This will not change its settings as inaccessible to the living, or unescapable to the dead.]

All of the sinners. Demons, thieves, murderers, and other monsters gaped. Even though they still would not be able to leave, they all started cheering.

Me, Milel, and Quarinara snuck closer to the gate while the others were celebrating.

"Quarinara, now you can come with us."

"No."

"What?"

"I must stay here and make sure everything goes well, there are other living beings here, many of which must not leave."

Milel sighed then nodded.

"Thank you for staying."

"Of course."

I hugged her, and she smiled and hugged me back.

"Remember the spell, use it when you are in danger. I will no longer die from it."

Then she walked off.

"Well, I hope everything goes well."

"Indeed, but… to think, the Ruler told us that it was destroyed, but it was here the whole time."

"Well, let's warp to Pandora now."

"Sure, let's."

I grabbed her hand and smiled.

Then we left Eden.
