Chapter 7: Chapter 7:The God of all gods
(author note sorry for only one chapter day i had to put new floor carpet and that took all day and i start writing this at 7pm)
Change of POV: Shirou.
In short.
We have quite a long conversation, All six of us. And obviously, I was the main subject of said conversation
I told them the truth, or precisely my 'current' life (Auto-Pilot) life while excluding System.
I explained I unlocked them in Kyoto for the simple reason it being away from Kuoh so the Supernatural community wouldn't notice my 'main' location at least via my presence. And especially emphasized my 'original' gender being male before awakening my powers.
And that's where things get interesting. Supposedly my Magic resonated with the Throne of Heaven itself and not only that, supposedly I exude the same Magical signature as Him. Which jumps us to the present.
Nothing I say about not being Him gets through their heads, they are uncompromising about me being His reincarnation!?
What angel insanity is this
It is Supernatural Insanity!
And that's what brings us here, on Seventh Heaven. Not many people can enter this place, namely only God Himself and Seraphs.
But how was I able to pass the barriers and teleportation system? I don't know! But that only added more 'proof' for my 'captors' to think that I am their Father's reincarnation…
"Wait! Let's think about this more clearly! I don't want to sit on that throne!" I firmly stated as I tried to run away from Michael's and Uriel's hold on me. They were by no means holding me enough to hurt me, more or less they were holding me with enough strength to hold me tight but leave bruises I can't just brute force them off of me cause am not used to my power or know how to use it without just going atomic nuke.
Michael was practically holding my hands while Uriel was pushing me slowly from my back. We were practically 3 meters away from the Golden Throne.
"Do not be afraid, Shirou. It will not hurt, if you truly do not have any connections with our Father then you simply won't be accepted by the Throne of Heaven but if you do, then you will new Ruler of Heaven in His place." Said Michael while Uriel pushed me slowly, I obviously tried to sink my feet into the ground but it didn't truly work, it only made my situation more comical.
And behind us are Gabriel and Raphael, Metatron slowly walking.
"Wait! How can you just simply allow a stranger to become a whole faction leader? That is unserious from you!"
But as I replied to his statement I completely forgot that we were one meter away from the Throne Of Heaven before Uriel literally picked me up like a sack of potatoes and put me on the so-called throne
Well, this is comical cause of our heights.
When we entered the Seventh Heaven, the Throne of Heaven intensified tremendously at my presence. Besides the Throne itself shining in Holy Light, it also began leaking out particles made from Holy Light.
Change of POV: Narrator.
Throne of Heaven desired her.
The moment she was put on the Throne of Heaven, a great phenomenon happened. All light that had been released from the Throne was instantly absorbed into Shirou.
No, this did not hurt at all. All the light was absorbed into Shirou before one singular moment everything was released.
The Power was released before it not only engulfed not only Seventh Heaven but all of Seven Heavens.
Starting from Seventh Heaven before descending from it to First Heaven.
This entire magnificent moment lasted for seven seconds. One second for each level.
But this significant event marked a new beginning for not only Heaven but also Mankind. The emergence of a new ruler for Heaven.
But also, another name is ingrained in Shirou's mind.
Another name for her, her name as God.
Celestia.
And that same name has been mysteriously implanted into every Angel's mind.
Celestia, the Mother of Angels.
Before celestia can say something her system start up
[Shard wishes to be absorbed.]
[Accept/Decline.]
It wasn't what I was looking for but I really had nothing to lose.
I accepted it mentally.
The world paused and my vision flashed
Change of POV: Narrator
[Shard of ## accepted]
Light entered Celestia vision as soon as she had accepted the strange request
[temporary bonding with longinus granted via ## authority]
Confused celestia ask the system what longinus,then a window pop up with a gear that she never seen before.
Name: Divine Eternity - Lux Aeterna
Classification: Ultimate Longinus
Wielder: Exclusively for God ( or reincarnation)
Appearance:
Lux Aeterna is a celestial weapon of unmatched beauty and overwhelming power, a staff-spear hybrid forged from the purest light of creation itself. The shaft is crafted from a radiant, indestructible alloy that gleams with a golden-white hue, etched with ancient runes representing the fundamental forces of the universe—life, time, and infinity.
The blade at the spear's tip burns with divine brilliance, resembling a crystalline fragment of a star. The light from the blade is so intense that it pierces the very fabric of reality, banishing all shadows in its presence. Hovering rings of glowing symbols orbit the weapon, shifting and rearranging with each moment as if calculating the perfect harmony of creation.
When fully activated, the weapon emanates an aura that distorts space and time, with golden arcs of light cascading around it like waterfalls. Merely witnessing its presence inspires awe and reverence, but to enemies, it is an overwhelming reminder of their insignificance.
[Abilities:]Absolute Judgment
Lux Aeterna can pass divine judgment on anything it strikes. Its blade doesn't merely damage; it eradicates, severing an entity's existence across all planes—physical, spiritual, and temporal. No resurrection or reincarnation is possible for those judged unworthy.Eternal Creation
The Longinus allows its wielder to create or reshape reality at will, drawing on the power of the divine. Worlds can be formed, laws of physics rewritten, and entire races brought into being with a mere thought.Timeless Authority
Time itself bends to the wielder's command. Lux Aeterna can freeze, reverse, or accelerate time on a universal scale, making the wielder untouchable in combat. This ability also enables the wielder to see infinite futures and choose the most favorable outcome.Celestial Domain
When activated, Lux Aeterna projects a field of divine energy that envelops an entire battlefield. Within this domain, the wielder is near omnipotent, able to nullify any ability, weapon, or power that operates outside divine sanction.Light of Genesis
The ultimate attack of Lux Aeterna, this ability channels the infinite light of creation into a single, all-destroying strike. It is said that the weapon's power in this state is equivalent to the act of creation itself, capable of wiping out entire areas and resetting its existence to its purest form.
Selestia can only stare at what probably is the most op weapon ever in the universe
Power exploded around Celestia as time seemingly resumed and I could barely hear Avael's desperate cry through the wind and power tearing around me.
[Temporary bonding with Longinus granted via יְהוָה's authority.]
(author note i'm thinking of writing the system in bold tell if you like it or to go back and use the same thing)
[Alert: Shard of יְהוָה is damaged, seeking alternative solution.]
[Initiating healing process for Shard of יְהוָה.]
[Alert: Insufficient power to complete healing and merging process.]
[Permission to absorb infused Holy Light for required restoration?]
[Permission granted.]
Power Collected: 35%
[Current power collection is insufficient. Searching for viable alternatives.]
[Alternative identified: using faith energy as a substitute.]
[Initiating teleportation to optimal coordinates.]
The dense holy power swirled around Celestia and she felt herself being taken somewhere else.
-{Vatican POV}-
It was an early morning for the Vatican. The air felt crisp and fresh as it always did and the various nuns began to stir, preparing for their morning prayers and duties.
The city of Rome, just beyond the walls of the Vatican, was already coming to life. The hum of traffic and the steady rhythm of people going about their morning activities.
Tourists wandered the ancient streets, excitedly speaking about the centuries-old architecture of Rome, while locals hurried to work or gathered in small groups
The domain that once belonged to the Olympians now housed one of the pillars of Heaven. Which naturally caused many of the locals to be devout in the teachings of the Abrahamic God.
Merely praying in times of need or when they had some free time. After all, becoming devout to a being that had not performed any miracles for hundreds of years or even shown a hint of being real was bound to cause many believers to become like this.
The church had been extremely necessary in keeping the faith alive, and the fact that there were still so many devout believers was a testament to that. But even that was starting to fail.
With no Saints in hundreds of years or any miracles directly from God, the once largest religion in the world had slowly started dying. The church had been forced to revert to showing the existence of the supernatural to many who were inducted as to make their belief solid.
Sister Teresa knelt out in the gardens of the Vatican. Her hands were clasped tightly, fingers trembling slightly as she whispered her prayer to the silent crucifix hanging from her neck.
"Please, Lord... if you hear me, give me a sign," Teresa murmured, her voice barely above a breath.
Suddenly, a wave of holy power covered the entire city. Teresa who had been taught to sense energies like all Nun's at a novice level had immediately sensed it. How couldn't she?
It didn't take her being any good at sensing to feel the massive comforting power blanket the city. The cross on her neck was pulled up to the sky, like something was drawing it towards them.
Teresa had no doubt that everybody in the Vatican could feel the power, judging by the sudden rush of priests and exorcists alike running out from the Vatican's halls. Hundreds of them pouring out
A pure golden light formed, floating above the city, Its form being barely recognisable by those who could peer through the blinding light as humanoid. A barrier of light expanded out from the golden humanoid as the increase of holy power could be felt.
The entire city of Rome went silent as ordinary people stepped out from their vehicle's to look up and witness the spectacle. The many who wore crosses on their neck found it pointing up towards the sky.
Teresa gawked, the comforting presence feeling familiar. A much higher version than the passive aura the Vatican possessed. She felt her body relax and a blissful feeling throughout her body.
Her eyes stared up in reverence as her mind came to the conclusion most people were coming too.
'I-it couldn't be right?' She thought, falling to her knees.
The holy power only seemed to be growing in presence. Power that humans could never wield by themselves vibrating through the air. It was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
Instinctually, her body knew she was staring at a higher life form. An indecipherable feeling weighing on her. Her heart was being erratically as in that moment her faith had confirmed itself
While she had never doubted it in the first place, the confirmation of her Lord had made her burst into happy tears. She had seen the light swords and guns the exorcists wielded along with the tremendous power of a Sacred Gear.
Many such scenes were playing around the Vatican and even in the city. Believers kneeing as their belief was confirmed and partial believers converting in an instant.
Unseen by all, was the energy coming off their body and streaming up into the sky. Towards the figure of light.
Up in Heaven…
In Heaven, everything fell into an eerie silence.
The ever present joyful and lively silver city, filled with the constant movement of angels, had come to a complete standstill. Every Angel froze in place, conversations cut short as they were all overwhelmed by the energy they had suddenly sensed.
They all felt a presence that had driven many Angels drunk
Not the faint echo that lingered in churches, or the 7 second presence that resided in Heaven but the full, unmistakable presence of their Father.
As the moments passed by, hope started gathering in all of the Angels within Heaven. As their mind caught up with their feelings. They didn't know how to react, or if this was some sort of dream.
The hope they had that their father hadn't actually died, a hope that had died out over hundreds of years of accepting that their father wasn't coming back.
Mass hysteria was already spreading among the Angels and Michael knew it was only a matter for a few more moments before they all decided to go to the place where they could feel their father.
Michael knew he couldn't stop them—he wasn't one to restrict his siblings too much, after all. That's why he decided he would go with them. Beside him,the other Seraphim stood happy that a verison of their father is back.
Then, without warning, a pair of radiant wings burst from the back of a male angel, and in a blur of light, he soared away from the Silver City, heading straight for the gates of Heaven.
this caused a chain reaction, the sound of thousands of wings appearing every second could be heard.
Angels' shooting up into the sky by the thousands then to the milions, their wings shining behind them. Making them look like millions of glittering stars shooting through the air. Angel's with all numbers of wings flying towards the gate, some much faster than others.
The pearly shining Gates of Heaven stood proudly as the entrance of Heaven, thousands of protective enchantments and forms of protection ingrained into the celestial metal it was forged out of.
It burst open and millions of Angel's poured out every second. All of them heading towards the massive presence that was near identical to their fathers.
all Angel's exit but keeping guard in case anyone used it as an attempt to sneak in. Bells rung across the sky as above the Vatican Heaven's Gate appeared.
Angel's pouring out of heaven for the first time in centuries for the world to see. The scene was enough to make people simply fall to their knees and watch
The Angel's swarmed towards the figure, only to be stopped by the barrier surrounding it. They were only momentarily confused before they started banging on the barrier.
"Father!
"Father Please come home'
Angel's began pleading as more joined surrounding the golden barrier every second, few attempting to break the barrier so that they could finally have the one thing they had dreamed about above anything else..
It didn't help that their Angelic Instincts were going wild. Which was why they didn't think about the huge waves this would cause among the supernatural.
Not that anyone knew outside of the three Factions that God was dead. But his appearance that had been absent for a long time would be noted along with the strange behaviour of the Angels
Michael floated above, mouth open agape even as he subtly looked for any threats. He had panic when celestia was force teleportation
Michael knew that all of the higher ups within the Gregory could pinpoint the location of this and were in a scramble to figure out what was going on. He had no doubt that their Father somehow coming back to life for them was both a joyful and fearful experience.
As for the Devils, very few were from the old age and he doubted even Sirzech and Ajuka knew what this meant other than a new powerful Angel appearing
Michael could imagine emergency meetings being held by both the Gregory and Devil Faction. The fact that tensions with the other two Factions and Heaven was high didn't help. They would definitely be probes and spys sent to try to figure out what was happening.
(The Presence)
-{Azazel}-
Azazel's glass filled with wine slipped from his hand, shattering on the floor. He no longer paid any attention to the stripper in front of him. His face was a mask of absolute shock, eyes wide and unfocused.
He quickly regained his composure, his eyes sharpening and his face receding into a shock expression.
It had been less than twenty seconds, twenty long seconds of a presence he had both longed for and dreaded with every fibre of his being. His mind instantly raced as soon as the presence suddenly cut out.
He was gone in a flash, leaving only a few black feathers and a confused stripper who looked around in confusion. A magical circle appeared by his mouth as he ordered the other Fallen Cadre's to gather in the Fallen HQ. The only person he couldn't connect to was Kokabiel.
[Other factions pov]
Every faction seer or god/goddess of fate had the same vision,
For Greeks, it was the sister of fate Norse mythology the Norns, Baltic mythology Deivės Valdytojos the seven sisters who weave the lives of humans.
Lithuanian mythology: Laima is the goddess of fate and destiny, and Dalia is the goddess of fate and weaving,and many more.
All of them stand up and start speaking the same thing
"There is Shiva the god of Destruction, There is Great Red the god of dreams,there is Ophis the god of infinity, there is the beast of apocalyptic but the God of gods has returned and her names are many and her one true name forever more is… Celestia! The goddess of light"
"The goddess of light has walked in blood throughout time and space the goddess has been given many names the beast of light, the butcher of darkness, the destroyer of fate, she is the engineer of death"
