Chapter 28: The 'God' Has Returned!
The death of Rizevim signaled the disappearance of the greatest factor of instability in this world. Akira finally felt a sense of peace. He no longer had to worry that one day that madman would trigger some catastrophic chaos.
With the safety of his rear flank secured, he could now continue his journey across various worlds with a calm mind.
"Rizevim is dead? Is that for certain?"
In a villa within Kuoh Town, Akira contacted Sirzechs to inform him about Rizevim's fate.
"Yes. His matter is finished. I can guarantee it."
"Excellent. With this, I can finally breathe easy as well."
Sirzechs let out a long sigh of relief. The heavy burden that had weighed on his heart for years had finally vanished. However, Sirzechs noticed a slightly unusual expression on Akira's face and felt a strange premonition. For years, his intuition had always been spot on. He felt that Akira was about to make a massive move.
"Sirzechs, there is one thing I want to tell you."
"What is it?"
Akira's words made Sirzechs' heart race.
"I plan to unite the Biblical Factions. Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels—it is time for them to be gathered as one."
"Akira, surely you must be joking..."
"Joking? No, I am simply informing you. You can choose to believe it or not. But rest assured, for Rias's sake, I won't make things difficult for you. The Gremory family will not face any trouble either."
"Akira, this is..."
"Alright, that's enough. I don't have time to debate. I will handle the Angels and Fallen Angels first. Regarding the Devil side, I'll give you some time. Give me your answer after I have settled things with the Angel and Fallen Angel races."
After leaving those words for Sirzechs, Akira cut the communication. Akira took a deep breath and stood up. In the shadows surrounding him, pairs of deep red eyes flickered with an intimidating light.
Swooosh——
Not long after, a figure appeared beside Akira. Dressed in white clothes, with long blonde hair, a cute face, and a petite body. This figure was the Will of God resurrected by Akira in the 'New World,' now named Yahweh.
"Calling me out... is there something you need?" Yahweh asked with a confused tone.
After learning throughout this period, Yahweh no longer used an ancient style of speech. Having received a wealth of modern knowledge, she had begun to develop a sense of humanity.
"As the Will of the Biblical God, you should be able to connect with the 'System' of this world, right?"
"I can..."
"In that case, let's begin."
"What do you intend to do?"
"Unite the Biblical Factions. Become the sole ruler over the Angel, Fallen Angel, and Devil races."
"Very well. I will help you conquer Heaven and the Angels."
Since she currently held a portion of the authority and origin of the 'New World,' she was a part of that world. Therefore, she held absolute loyalty to Akira as the ruler of that world.
Heaven, the highest layer. This was the absolute core of the heavens. A supreme creation called the 'System' was stationed here. Michael, as the leader of the four Seraphs, managed the system's operations with great effort.
Since the fall of the 'Biblical God,' the 'System' had become like a Sacred Gear that had lost its owner, remaining in a dormant state. Although the Angels, as God's creations, could run it using similar holy power, its efficiency and strength were incomparable to the past.
Rumble——
However, at this very moment, the dormant system suddenly began to operate at high speed.
"What is happening? Why is the system...?"
For years, the system had never experienced anything like this. This condition was exactly like the time when God still existed in the world.
Swooosh——
It wasn't over yet. A special energy called 'Faith' stored within the system for operations began to be pulled out at that moment. Faith was something highly desired by various pantheons as a source of power.
Since the fall of the Biblical God, other god groups had divided the faith that originally belonged to Him. For years, besides running the system, the stored faith was still immense. Originally, this was Heaven's final trump card in case of an irreparable situation. But now, that faith was moving.
It must be understood that faith has a target destination. Only the object of that faith can absorb and use it. The Angel race could only borrow the name of 'God' to use it in a limited capacity.
"Faith is surging; the direction is toward the human world. Has 'God' returned? He is rising again and taking back His old power!"
This was no mere empty talk from Michael. According to the laws of the Angels, God was omniscient, omnipotent, and immortal.
Swooosh——— Swooosh——— Swooosh———
Several figures appeared nearby, each having twelve golden wings on their backs.
"Michael, what is happening? Why has the system become like this?" Uriel asked with an anxious tone, as this concerned the very survival of the Angels.
"The system is vibrating, faith is surging. God has returned," Michael answered slowly.
"What?"
"Are you certain, Michael?"
"God is back?"
Gabriel asked with great enthusiasm. In Heaven, Gabriel was the most special. She was innocent, and although she held the high position of a twelve-winged Seraph, she was not skilled at fighting. Her position was more like a pampered little princess. When the Biblical God was still around, she was a deeply cherished existence.
"I am not entirely sure. However, the current state of the system and the surge of faith have no other explanation than that."
"Then why hasn't God returned here?"
"Perhaps God is in the middle of reclaiming His power."
"In that case, I will immediately descend to the lower world to welcome my Lord's return."
All Angels were fanatical believers in 'God,' especially the highest-tier Seraphs.
Hummm——
At that moment, a figure began to manifest above the system. It was the Biblical God, or more accurately, Yahweh.
