Silence…
It reached a point where even mere silence became suffocating, and to the beings currently in the Fifth Layer, it was exactly that. They were here to bear witness to the first true death of a Death Angel. Yes… a primordial Rank 3 demon, already approaching Rank 4, had managed to kill one of these beings.
You must understand...
Even at Rank 4, killing a fellow Rank 4 Death Angel was nearly impossible. Yet this demon achieved it.
The saying was true:
The "top" the world sees is merely a stepping stone for others.
The elites worshipped by all are nothing more than servants to some.
The monsters among men… have gods towering over them.
There were beings you could simply feel would conquer everything
Beings whose destinies unfolded right before your eyes.
Beings destined to stand at the top, their feats proof of the fate laid out before them.
And Void, across eons… across eternity… was one of those beings.
