Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"But the question is, do the new Uriel and Raphael know of this history? Or do they believe that the Supreme Deity is just the same one they served before being promoted to Seraphim?" Kayla mused. 

If Uriel and Raphael didn't actually know that their Supreme Deity is not who they think she is, then Raven may be able to avoid a big fight and gain a massive advantage!

But, since they still have their powers, then it must be that they have the approval of the new Supreme Deity...

*Sigh*

"How did things get so complicated so quickly…" Kayla could not help but let out a helpless sigh.

"Well, let's not mind that. For now, we have our own emergencies and there is no need to get stressed over future issues if we don't survive this I suppose," Kayla said with a shrug as she looked back at Calcer. "Do you think that he will be able to increase his rank and take on that Star Twenty angel?"

"I can't guarantee it, but as long as he's given enough time, I'll work together with him and defeat the Star Twenty angel!" Keith said.

"Hm, ok then," Kayla mused loudly. "We'll leave it to you- oh, our guests are finally here…"

Looking up, everyone could clearly see and feel a power that belonged to a new wave of angel army!

"Everyone, into your own positions, move!" Kayla's voice sounded through the bracelets and reached the entire battlefield.

At the same time when the Terran Army was preparing for a battle to the death and the Demon Realm was filled with people who were still in the process of evacuating, Raven had a frown over her face as she kept looking left and right. 

Her eyes were narrowed in a suspicious gaze.

'Are you sure,' Raven asked Tu. 

'Yes,' Tu confirmed. 'See how Sar is looking around too, someone strong is coming for sure. And whoever it is, it is definitely stronger than Sar…'

'Stronger than him, huh?' Raven mused. 'I guess Uriel did end up sending someone to intercept us…'

"Raven, stay behind me, never leave my side!" Sar sounded distressed as he got extremely cautious while looking around. His hand extended, covering Raven in a protective manner. 

Raven was surprised to see that Sar was so concerned about her own safety. 

'It must be Maya's doing…' Raven's expression softened as she thought about it.

"Huhuhu, now now, if it isn't Sar, Lady Raphael's little guard!" A voice sounded through the void as a figure appeared ghostly.

"Guru!" Sar narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. "What are you doing here? Lady Raphael has ordered me to safely escort this human to her. Did Lord Michael plan this trap? Does he intend to get involved and sabotage her Grace's orders?"

'So, this newly emerging person is one of Michael's subordinates…' Raven repeated slowly as she suddenly got an idea of what was going on. 'It appears that Michael is working together with Uriel and intends to kill me?'

Although she was protected behind Sar's mana and literally under his wing, she could still feel the imminent danger radiating from this angel. His killing intent was by no means hidden.

"Trap? Sabotage?!" The angel named Guru repeated, or rather roared, disdainfully. "You may not know this, Sar, but your lady is a traitor, and not only you two will die, but she as well! Lord Michael has tried to save her before, but she was utterly hopeless!"

"Guru! Don't you dare insult Lady Raphael!" Sar was extremely angry, hearing Maya get insulted like that.

"Huhuhu, you're going to die now anyway, there's no need to waste my breath on you!" Guru chuckled as a dark and vicious expression appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to attack, a dangerous crimson light flashed through his eyes as fear gripped his eyes. 

Even Sar flinched as he looked at Raven in surprise.

Out of her little armoured body, the crimson aura started spreading outwards as it slowly took shape. In less than a few seconds, Tu was standing beside her.

"Hm, quite impressive," Tu looked at Guru up and down as his gaze was able to see through every cell of his body. "A Guard Angel who's at the top of his own rank… you're about to break through the Holy Angel rank, huh?"

Guru tensed up under these crimson eyes that seemed to penetrate his soul. 'He is more dangerous than Lord Michael!' he suddenly concluded. 'I need to warn him!'

Just as he was thinking of a way to send a message to his Lord, he suddenly heard Tu's carefree voice.

"Too bad you're not on our side…" Just as Tu shrugged in disappointment, he snapped his fingers.

And just as he did that, dark and crimson chains covered the void and extended outwards.

Guru tried his best to run away, but in his panic, he realized that he couldn't move his body! He could strangely feel a burning mark over his forehead; it was the crimson dragon eye!

Without being able to utter a single word, Guru was chained up and dragged through a portal that wasn't there before...

Tu closed his eyes and inhaled freely. He didn't seem to inhale from the outside mana or Raven's air, but rather… it appeared as though he was breathing through dimensions!

"Are you breathing that angel's mana?" Raven asked with raised eyebrows.

"Uhm," Tu nodded. "It's part of the contract, well, forced contract…"

"What's the contract you made by the way?" Raven was actually quite curious. She knew that Tu's enemies would always go through a forced contract, but she has never heard the details.

"Well, I grant them protection. And they grant me their mana. That's what you call business!" Tu said with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Oh, you grant them protection…?" Raven was rather confused now. "From who?"

"From me, of course!" Tu said with a dangerous grin as he looked over Sar who was shaking.

Raven couldn't help but be taken aback. But she simply shrugged afterwards and shifted her gaze towards Sar.

"Who are you?" He asked, fully alert.

"Don't be stressed," Tu smirked, which only made Sar more vigilant. "You passed the test; you didn't harm Raven, you don't need to fear for your life."

Sar swallowed loudly but said nothing. He was simply following his Lady's command. If it was any other time, he would not have hesitated for a moment to kill Raven!

"With that being said, Sar is safe, but the same is not true for you," Tu said while looking at a place in the void. "Are you planning on showing up, or do I need to help you with that?"

Raven and Sar looked around, but they saw nothing out of the ordinary; void, space debris, and some planets and stars far away from them.

"Hm, you are indeed more powerful than us," a voice let out a soft sigh.

Looking around in surprise, Raven and Sar were able to see a person appearing slowly, in a similar manner to Guru.

"Lord Gabriel?" Sar was surprised as she suddenly asked loudly.

"Hm, so this is the fourth of the Seraphim of the End, Gabriel..." Raven muttered to herself.

Gabriel looked like a normal person that would not stand out in a crowd, if one was to ignore his wings... 

A beautifully decorated white robe was worn, like a monk, around his body. Three pairs of beautiful white wings on his back proved his identity as they radiated with supreme power.

However, that power was nothing worth mentioning in the presence of someone like Tu.

"Sar," Gabriel looked at Sar and nodded in acknowledgement. "You didn't do anything wrong… alas, it's too unfortunate that you were destined to die the moment you followed Raphael's command…"

"Lord Gabriel! What is happening?" Sar was panicking. His mistress has given a simple order and he was doing what he was told obediently. But now, not only Lord Michael's Guard Angel meant to kill him, but even Lord Gabriel appeared in person!

"You are what is called a Monarch, huh?" Gabriel looked at Tu and nodded to himself in satisfaction. "A rank that is above the Supreme Deity… it is indeed more powerful and more domineering than one can imagine."

Tu narrowed his eyes, feeling that something was definitely wrong here. Why was this Gabriel not panicking?

Even though he is one of the four Seraphim of the End, he stands no chance against a Monarch!

"Alas, you also seem to have been injured," Gabriel continued. "Even though your aura is extremely powerful, it shows that you are not at your peak condition."

"Does it matter though? I only need to slap you twice and you'd be dead," Tu narrowed his eyes while surveying the area. Something was definitely not right!

He just tried to attack Gabriel quietly and stealthily, but he felt danger! He, a Monarch, felt danger coming from the surroundings! What is happening?

"Indeed," Gabriel nodded. "You only need to slap me twice and I'd be dead… but that would only be the case if I was alone and unprepared, which unfortunately for you, I am not!"
