Oh yeah.
Now we esca
Chapter 9 — When Gods Argue
It took humanity three hours.
Three.
Metre Astra.
The weapon they never wanted to use.
The last hope.
The anti-calamity platform built to counter Rank 1 entities.
It launched under full military silence.
Every command center in the world watched.
Every surviving nation held its breath.
It never landed.
Halfway across the Pacific—
The pilots died.
Simultaneously.
No explosion.
No strike.
No visible attack.
Just—
Heart failure.
Autopsies later would show cardiac rupture. Neural collapse. Blood vessels burst from internal pressure.
The radiation from five Rank 1s was too dense.
Too divine.
Too overwhelming for human biology.
Metre Astra drifted.
Then fell.
Then detonated harmlessly in the ocean.
Humanity's final card—
Erased without being touched.
---
Then they moved.
All five.
No rush.
No panic.
Just direct.
Japan.
The base.
Kazuo.
Fighter jets scrambled.
Missiles launched.
Defense grids activated.
It was pointless.
One Rank 1 was classified as a national extinction event.
Five?
That wasn't an attack.
That was extinction scheduling.
They didn't dodge missiles.
They didn't block them.
The weapons disintegrated before reaching them.
The sky bent around their presence.
The base radar systems fried.
Soldiers collapsed from nosebleeds before even seeing them.
---
Inside the facility—
Alarms screamed.
Commander's hands trembled for the first time in years.
"They're here."
Cynthia stood still.
Reina felt cold.
Kazuo tilted his head slightly.
"…I know."
---
Then—
The sky split again.
But this time—
It burned gold.
A pressure wave slammed into the five descending angels.
A voice tore through the heavens.
"How dare you."
Seraphiel descended like a falling sun.
Golden aura boiling—
But beneath it?
Red.
Refined fury.
Her wings were damaged.
Feathers missing.
Armor cracked.
She had been fighting.
Hard.
The four lesser Rank 1s turned toward her.
No fear.
But caution.
They moved first.
They died first.
Effortlessly.
And when we say effortlessly—
We mean she did not exert herself.
One lost his head before finishing a sentence.
One imploded under gravitational compression.
One was cleaved in half mid-flight.
The pale one disintegrated beneath a single flick of her fingers.
Four Rank 1s.
Erased in seconds.
The red-skinned one did not move.
He smiled.
He had that dog in him.
---
He stepped forward.
"Seraphiel."
"Kyhil."
His wings were darker.
Denser.
His aura heavier than the others combined.
"You are committing a crime," Kyhil said calmly. "You harbor Driomion's son."
Below—
Humans listened.
Driomion?
Son?
Kazuo?
Seraphiel's gaze sharpened.
"He is useful."
Kyhil's smile widened slightly.
"Driomion was declared traitor to the Celestial Order. His bloodline is to be purged."
Kazuo stood silently inside the base.
No reaction.
But his Third Eye flickered faintly.
Seraphiel's lips curved.
"And who," she asked softly, "will kill him?"
Silence.
The message was clear.
You?
Kyhil laughed.
The sound shook the clouds.
"So this is about possession?"
"It is about choice," she corrected.
"For angels?" Kyhil tilted his head. "We have laws. Hierarchies. Thrones. You know this."
Below, humans processed something horrifying.
Angels weren't mindless calamities.
They had structure.
Society.
Judgment.
Rules.
This wasn't invasion.
This was enforcement.
Kyhil's gaze dropped briefly toward the base.
"You are blinded by attachment."
Seraphiel's aura flared violently.
"Leave."
"No."
The air pressure spiked.
Clouds spiraled outward.
Kyhil stretched his neck slowly.
"You will not defy the Celestial Verdict."
Seraphiel's wings expanded.
Her golden aura refined—
Then intensified into something blinding.
Her form shifted.
Light condensed around her like armor forged from stars.
A second halo manifested.
Her presence doubled.
Tripled.
The ocean below split from pressure alone.
Humans could not breathe.
Inside the base—
Every monitor shattered.
Cynthia whispered,
"…She wasn't even serious before."
Seraphiel's voice echoed across sky and sea.
"Then enforce it."
And she transformed fully—
Radiant.
Terrifying.
Divine wrath given shape.
Kyhil's smile widened.
Finally.
The end...
Bro spoilers....
Now we have:
Metre Astra erased without contact.
Angelic radiation lethal to humans.
Driomion confirmed traitor.
Kazuo confirmed son of a fallen angel.
Angel hierarchy and law introduced.
Seraphiel vs Kyhil imminent.
Humanity realizing this is celestial politics, not random genocide.
Chapter 10 is going to be insane.
