"Are you going to find Azrael?"
Said Hela as she came in front of me as she brought me out from my admiration.
"Yes, he would be a great asset for the Baator."
I answered as I retracted my wings, horns, and tail.
Azrael was the pinnacle Archangel and had the Power of Death, very similar to Hela. I wonder why he even fell in the first place.
"Have you ever met him?"
As she was older than me, I asked Hela, so she must have met him at one point in her life.
"Yes, several centuries ago, when he was still Pure Angel. He led a crusade against Asgard. I didn't fight him, as he was out of my league, but even Odin, with the help of Pantheon that pushed him temporarily to Mighty Stage God, had a problem defeating him in a short time. Even then, he was the top powerhouse, but there was something weird about him."
Said Hela with a frown.
"What exactly?"
"Normally, someone as strong as Azrael should have already evolved into Angel Emperor. Angels have a straightforward path, similar to Fiends, Kindreds, or Devils in early stages. To reach Angel Emperor, they don't need to comprehend Law or anything; they just need to evolve. Azrael already had so much Holy Power inside him, so logically speaking, he should already reach Angel Emperor Level long ago."
Explained Hela.
"How strong would he be compared to Mighty God?"
I asked curiously.
"Probably same. Due to being a more evolutionary path, their combat prowess is similarly based on an accumulation of energy. Though Azrael with his Power of Death, would be stronger than many Mighty Gods, and only those who have strong combat-related Divinities would be able to match him."
As I listened to her, I immediately realized the reason behind that.
"Constraints."
I said.
"?"
"He has constraints from Yahweh. Probably all of his Angels have. I have also read that many gods in the Astral Boundary that are cultivating Angels often become paranoid, so they place constraints so their Angels cannot reach higher stage than themselves."
That was probably the reason why Azazel fell; he wanted to break through the shackles that Yahweh put on him.
Lucifer achieved it by transforming himself from Fallen Angel after falling to Devil through unknown arcane procedures long forgotten. Only records are kept in the Book of Lucifer that even I cannot decipher.
Maybe Azrael fell for a similar reason.
"That could be possible."
Answered Hela with a faint smile as she started passionately kissing me, as I turned her around, and we started some pleasurable activity.
***
The next day, I have departed to search for Azrael.
I had some general location from Azazel, so I immediately flew that way.
I went to the unclaimed zone of the Underworld.
Underworld was divided into several areas, from each one belonged to some faction. There was Devil Area, belonging to the Devils. Realms of Dead, which belonged to Hades of Olympian Patheon. Yomi, which belonged to the Izanami of Shinto Pantheon. Kingdom of Osiris of Egyptian Pantheon.
Then there were areas that were not under the rule of any faction, like Malebolge or Cocytus.
Azrael was located even deeper in the Area termed as Abandoned Area due to vicious monsters that lived there. Apparently, Azrael chose the Abandoned Area as his base of operations.
A usual level of monsters and magical beasts inhabiting the Abandoned Area was General Level, with countless Monarch Level monsters among them and even many Emperor Level ones. It was basically a no-go zone for anybody and anything.
Constructing a base there, you can have a guaranteed peaceful life, as nobody would be mad enough to venture there on his own.
If someone was unlucky, then even a pinnacle powerhouse such as Albion or Ddraig may be killed there if they were unfortunate enough to be ganged on by several Emperor Level monsters that lived in the Abandoned Area.
Compared to that place, even Sunset Monster Mountain Range seemed like a nice and friendly place.
After flying for several hours and evading some dangerous areas, I have finally arrived at the Abandoned Area. Underworld was far more extensive than Earth, so this journey from the Devil Area to Abandoned Area, took me several hours and a distance of several Earths to cross.
I cast some concealment spells to mask my presence, as I didn't want to alert those Emperor Level monsters that were sleeping here or whatever. While I was curious to test my strength against them, and they would be delicious to devour, right now was not the time.
I flew deeper into the Abandoned Area until I arrived at the part of the Abandoned Area, where the concentration of Death Energy was huge. Death Energy was the type of energy that was used by Hela, Azrael, or some other people.
It was a special kind of energy that could be found even in nature, in places where enormous amounts of lifeforms died, creating an enormous amount of negative energy of resentment, hatred, and similar, which would fuse and evolve into the Death Energy.
When an ordinary person comes into contact with even an ounce of Death Energy, and death is instant.
'This place would be a paradise for Hela. Her training speed would be boosted several times if she stayed in a place so rich in Death Energy. Azrael must be somewhere here, and this is the perfect place for someone with Power of Death to train.'
As I flew through this part of the Abandoned Area and searched for Azrael, I thought in my head.
And soon enough, I saw a young-looking man with short white hair, two black horns, and a black stripe tattoo underneath his right eye, similar to mine, sitting cross-legged on the top of some random mountain, as a crimson ball of condensed energy was floating before him.
I could feel an overwhelming aura around him, easily dwarfing my own.
"Azrael."

Suddenly that crimson ball shot towards me with tremendous speed. I dodged the attack and saw Azrael standing there, with a smile over his face, as he looked at me with a piercing gaze through his crimson red eyes.
"I have heard about you... even in the Abandoned Area, some monsters talk about you."
I was surprised by this, ad especially the second part. It appears some monsters were able to talk in our speech or maybe even take a humanoid form.
"And I have heard about you, Archangel of Death, Azrael."
I said as we stared at each other.
"Come, be my guest."
He said as he gestured for me to sit down with him, as I did, and we both sat cross-legged on the unnamed mountain in the Abandoned Area of the Underworld.
"So, why are you searching for me in the parts of the Underworld, Lucifer?"
He asked with an emotionless voice as I observed his appearance. In truth, he looked more like a Demon rather than a Fallen Angel.
"I want to recruit you, Azrael."
I stated calmly.
"Recruit for what exactly?"
"Astral Boundary."
I said as he froze and looked at me without saying any words or making any sound.
"Oh? So the things are getting into the move. What should I have from it?"
He asked casually.
"Freedom. Evolution. Power. Authority. Whatever you want."
I named.
"He is going to die, am I right?"
He asked as I nodded.
"Indeed, it is no secret in certain circles that four idiots have used Trihexa to lure him out. He is currently fighting with Trihexa for several years, and it is nearing its end. They plan to ambush him, but killing Mighty God as only Super Devils, even severely injured, is unrealistic. But I can predict that he will succumb to his injuries."
I explained.
"I want two things."
He said.
"First, I want you to destroy Heaven's System that Yahweh created."
He called him Yahweh... weird normally most 1st Generation angels, no most, all of them called him father.
"I know that look; you are wondering why I call him by name, right? Simple, I soon realized that for him, we are nothing more than slaves and servants, caged in invisible chains to not able to rise above him. Lucifer and I were first to realize that when he forced us to bow to humans. Most pathetic and hateful species in all universes in all existence. Lucifer fell and became the first Fallen Angel, but he realized that his shackles didn't disappear. So in his endless search, he found the Book that is now known as the Book of Lucifer, and through unknown means and ways, he turned himself into the first Devil. Then with Lilith, succubus from the Abyss, he created Devil species."
I marveled at his monologue.
"And how you broke them?"
I asked.
"I found my way here... through incorporating bloodline of several Fiends into my own, that is why I look like this, but it worked, and they were broken. But, the same thing cannot be said about others. Even if Yahweh dies, Heaven's System will inherit his will and constraints overall Fallen Angels and Pure Angels."
Indeed, Yahweh would use Heaven's System to bind all Angels to never evolve to Angel Emperor Level. Why that was important was only for him to know, or... or if he had a plan to revive himself.
While Law of Chaos was deadly and would kill him for sure, maybe he really found a way to revive himself. He was crafting genius that constructed literary wonders, so it was highly possible.
One must know that when a God is killed, then as long as he is killed and his Divine Spark and Soul are left instant, then with enough time, revival is not something out of the question. Alas, the reason why four idiots chose Trihexa was not only that it was one of few that could kill him, but also due to the Law of Chaos, which was deadly for almost anything in existence.
The Law of Chaos had a miraculous ability to disrupt and destroy natural order.
"In the future, it is doable and probably needed. I plan to obtain Fallen Angels as my subordinates in the future, so it would be rather bad if they were still constrained by something like that. In the Astral Boundary, only when one reached that level of power could be considered as somebody."
I said.
"Excellent. You should have talked about it with Azazel, right? He was my favorite brother, only if not for his likeness for humans and too perverted behavior. Does he still lust over Gabriel?"
He asked with a small laugh.
"Yes, and he won't stop talking about her."
I answered.
"Gabriel was always so innocent and so pure. Even now, maybe she still believes that we could be once more together."
He said with a frown.
"And what is the second condition that you have?"
I asked.
"Fight with me."
He said as I looked at him with wary eyes.
"Of course, you don't need to win; I just want to look how strong you are. Considering that you are under 200 years old and have already reached Super-Devil Class among human Warlocks, reaching Infinity Warlock Realm around 200 years old is almost unheard of. And among Arcanists..."
I nodded in agreement; if I don't need to win, then it is okey.
"Where shall we fight?"
I asked him as Azrael pointed at the ground.
"Right here, this place is devoid of any monster or magical beasts, so there is a very low chance we would be interrupted."
