Chapter 13: Prolonged Talks!

Change of POV: 3rd POV

"You want me what?!" Exclaimed Alex, this is ..

This is...

Stupid!

"To take your place among us. And under my tutelage you would become rightful Queen of Angels. Or you prefer term King of Angels? Despite your best attempts to conceal your body through that illusion I had been able to glimpse only one portion of your true form." It was Michael who said this.

No he didn't simply said it, it was a statement. A verdict, something already decided with or without Alex's say.

Alex couldn't help but stare at them dumbfounded. You can't blame her after all, she was just reincarnated a week ago, reincarnated into a woman no less. A most beautiful Goddess too when we are at it.

And one of the most powerful if not the most powerful Goddess that ever lived till now.

And now, Angels are asking her to become their ruler? Even though she is 'supposed reincarnation of their creator' but isn't this moving a bit too fast?

It has only a week passed! Damn it!

"I refuse."

Four Seraphs blinked.

Uriel leaned forward. " Why? You could get any benefit, why would you refuse such position?" Curiosity plagued his tone. He is not irritated but intrigued.

It was as if they expected such response.

"Even though my body may have been changed and I might have became a Goddess. But.." Alex sighed. " My soul is that of a Heaven, I was a Human and I don't want to relinquish that for anything. I'm satisfied with what I have."

Four Seraphs proceeded to hold another silent eye exchange conversation between each other.

"Then, why don't we make a compromise?" Gabriel suggested, lifting her palm from the bed before motioning at ceiling. " I'm still going to help you understand your abilities, in return you can be 'honorary-member of Heaven Faction' and still help us by creating more Angels for us. What do you say?"

Just when Alex was about to reply. [God's System] decided to interfere this pointless charade.

A screen appeared in front of her.

[ [User] it's advisable for you to join forces with Heaven one way or another. It's fine if you don't want to take responsibility and lead them but think about their protections. If Indra for example discovered of your existence he would: A: Take you into his wing and use you as a tool. B: Eliminate you.]

Okay that was good damn argument, Alex had to give it to [God's System].

Indra is indeed a problem...

One hand, she does not think clearly right now because of nervousness. But on other hand..

She appeared to be thinking in front of other Four Seraphs.

 Seeing this, Raphael decided to add his own two cents.

"We would of course if you join, add all our resources towards your training regime and hold you under highest level of security considering how important you towards our survival. We hope you understand our ideals."

Then Uriel added. " If you reject us we would still continue to show our offers till you accept one day. Please understand, without Father, Angel's numbers are getting smaller and smaller as time passes.. "

Oh, the cry tactic?!

Alex now when she thinks clearly, the offer doesn't sound bad. But then she could also request something more. 

But the only thing is.. She doesn't trust them, she doesn't want to visit Heaven only to get trapped inside it.

"Offer doesn't sound bad... But can I request something?" She asked.

It was Michael replied. " Feel free."

Alex nodded. " If you can create new documents for me, for my new appearance that is..~Cough~" She said.

Michael nodded, it wouldn't be a problem for them. The only thing he needs is to see her appearance, her true appearance and memorize it. Then deliver it to their workers back in Heaven, and documents will be finished in less than 1 hour.

"But about training. " She nervously shifted before glancing towards Gabriel who still held that re-assuring smile on per pretty face. " I would only accept if we are training here, in my room like I was doing or on some location in Japan but not in Heaven."

Gabriel frowned slightly at that. In Heaven it would be way easier to teach Alex, they wouldn't have to worry for power output and constant supression of their Magical Powers.

But...

"~Sigh~ You don't trust us at all do you? " It was Uriel who sighed.

Raphael interjected. " She can't be blamed, she only meet us. If I was in her position I would behave same or even more cryptic."

All Four Great Seraphs agreed with that, though they expected the conversation to go like this.

"Then, Alex. Tell me do you prefer Mr or Miss honorific?" It was Michael as he crossed his arms while thinking.

Alex blinked. " Even though I might have taken appearance of a woman, I still prefer Mr."

"Then it's settled, Lord Alex." Michael added, he said it in such firm tone as if it was divine judgement and not simple honorific.

Alex blinked.

"Yeah, Lord Alex sounds fine."

"I'd prefer Lord Rhongomyniad." Added Uriel as he also crossed his arms.

"I would prefer Lady Rhongomyniad though." Gabriel pouted, but it can't be helped. It would take time for Alex to adapt to her new form and life-style but eventually.

Gabriel has hopes that eventually she would be allowed to call Alex by 'Lady' honorific.

"But first, can you show me your 'true form' ? So I can memorize it and create needed documents for it." Requested Michael as he waved his hand in slight dismissal.

Alex 'coughed' for a moment, her face flushed from slight embarrassment since this would be her first time showing her face to anyone.

And that would be quite surprising that is.

So, with her Alex's imagination, she 'turned off' the Barrier that was coating her body.

From other peoples perspective, 'Young Man' before them had his 'skin peeled off' as it turned into particles of flying before 'flying off him' and disappearing.

It started from 'toe to head' as barrier broke, a new face has been revealed in front of them. A face that of a Goddess for sure.

Not only was Alex beauty in rang with Gabriel's but also exceeded many beautiful faces of multiple Gods and Goddesses of Love and Beauty.

A truly sculpted face, a face befitting the tittle of 'Goddess of the Bible' in the eyes of Four Great Seraphs before Alex.

Michael already a knowing smile on his face, as he already expected such or similar result.

Uriel only nodded, while Raphael gaped before Uriel's right hand moved towards him and closed his jaw.

It's one thing if Raphael saw Gabriel and got accustomed to her. It's completely new event to see a woman they didn't know about, especially possessing such level of beauty.

Alex's emerald eyes appeared to be exactly same vibrant color as those of Michael and Gabriel, and with brighter blonde hair styled into messy bun behind her head. But beauty could only be rivaled by few.

But what surprised them is that even though 'body' changed, she is still wearing 'the clothes' on illusion, still male clothes which look heavily out of place on her body right now.

Gabriel brought her hand to her mouth. " ~Ara~Ara, Michael was not joking when he said your beauty rivals mine." Then she smiled. 

Michael coughed up once, bringing all attention back to himself. " So since we have talked over what we wanted, do you have any question to ask right now? Even though we managed to talk with you today, we as Seraphs have duties we need to return with haste. And Gabriel will visit you tomorrow here around this time so you two can talk over important matters and discuss your training methods. " Added Michael, he seemed a bit quirky to get away right now.

Alex shock her head, to be honest, Alex just wants them gone so she can continue with her training. And she is shy with meeting new people anyway.

Seeing this, Michael stood up, followed by Uriel and Raphael.

Gabriel was last one to stood up, but not before she took smartphone from her pocket.. " Here take it, this phone comes along with our contacts, Mine, Michael's, Raphael's and Uriel's. Beside you having contact with us, this phone also has 'tracking' function. So would be able to know wherever you are if something were to happen." She said gently before extending the phone in question toward Alex.

Alex with small frown on her face, extending her hand took the phone since they already gave her.

"You will just need to add new G-mail but beside that, everything has been set up." Added Michael before all Four Great Seraphs walked into center of the room. " Goodbye Alex, I hope when next time we meet you would be slightly more open to us.

Uriel nodded.

Raphael waved.

As for Gabriel, she said one last sentence before they 'disappeared'. " When next we meet we'll go shopping! Don't worry, I'll take care of money, It'll be on Heaven!" 

She shouted, and every single word coming from her mouth caused shivers on Alex body.

EVERY.SINGLE.WORD.

But just when Gabriel said 'Heaven', All Four Great Seraphs 'floated' above the floor about 20-30cm before their bodies 'turned into particles of light' and dIssappeared.

 Alex watched what happened with wide eyes. " Was that a teleportation?' She asked, and [God's System] answered.

[ Partially correct, it's 'Gate of Heaven' teleportation, it allows direct and instant transformation from Earth to Heaven, Only Earth to Heaven at such speed, mind you. Before, only 'God of the Bible' was capable to use it, but it seems that Michael indeed achieved enough Authority over [Holy-System] to grant such teleportation to three others beside him. 'YHWH' would have been proud...]

Alex read and nodded. A cool trick it seems.

Alex jumped on the bed, face facing pillow as she decided to sleep first. And later when she wakes up, she will continue her training.

She doesn't feel motivated to train anymore and she is not in mid right now.

" Ah~ What's next. Meeting a Satan-Class Devil in Kuoh?" She muttered to herself before 'realm of dreams' took over.

And she feel asleep, soundly right now.

But unaware that 'she will have another session of 'dreams of past events' ' that happened. 

Of Great War and 'God of the Bible' sealing two Dragons.

Chapter Word Count: 1,700

Honestly, I was un-motivated in writing this chapter. So I'll take pause for several days to think what to write next.
