"I hope that the angels would be more respectful" Arakan muttered as he now followed Michael who led the way to the heavens.
"When God created me he told me that the Angels were created for mankind to be inspired."
"Respectful, Merciful, and Loving those were the three words that can be used to describe Angel, and those you fail to follow them...they fall from grace" Michael stated as a golden gate appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is a gateway to heaven, if a being other than an Angel tries to enter they must pass through this" Michael said as he took a few steps back.
'beings who harbor sins will be exposed to the aura of God and will be forced to repent for their sins' Michael thought to himself as Arakan's hand held the door's handle.
Arakan moved the door's handle and pushed it open. A wave of light appeared as soon as the door opened blinding Arakan.
'The lights of heaven!' Michael thought to himself as the divine light covered Arakan from head to toe.
'did he perish?' Michael thought as the lights of Heaven slowly subsided.
"How long are you going to keep standing there?" Arakan asked as he glanced at Michale. He was in his monster form and some injuries on the exoskeleton could be seen.
------
[Arakan Pov]
'So this is the gate to Heaven? I expected it to be more grand'
'The Biblical Heaven has no name however it is divided into seven realms'
'most of the upper realms are reserved for high-class angels only at the Seventh Heaven that is where the previous God resided'
'I see...Iza-chin, Kaku-chan just watch over me I will hold this whole world within my palms'
Arakan's hands gripped the handle of the door as he twisted it and pushed the door open. Golden light erupted from the opened door as Arakan was covered in a strong Holy element.
"hmm!?"
'Such a strong holy attribute!?'
'Quick enter your monster form this was you can adapt to it!'
"Haaa!"
Arakan's body began to change as a dark exoskeleton covered him.
The holy light clashed against Arakan's body as sharp pain filled him.
'it burns!'
'Such strong holy attribute! it even surpasses the one present in Icinarate Anthem'
'Hold on a little longer Arakan! since the God has already died the light's response is almost autonomous it will stop soon
"arggh!"
The exoskeleton that Arakan was using to protect himself started to crack and break down.
'As a devil, my inherited weakness also spread to my abilities'
In a matter of seconds, Arakan's armor broke and then regenerated over and over.
"Heh"
Arakan let out a smirk as a slight white hue started to surround his form. The previous cracks and what not started to rejuvenate back.
'I did it'
"Haa!!"
A strong burst of Holy Magic appeared from it as the Lights of Heaven finally faded.
'I evolved past it!'
"Hey, how long do you think you are going to stand there for?
------
"You survived the Lights of Heaven?"
"but how...can a devil be able to do it?" Michael asked confused and astonished.
"heh, the Lights of Heaven posed more of a threat than you ever did Michael,"
"now take me to the Seventh Heaven," Arakan said as a still shocked Michael led the way to him.
'He survived the Lights of Heaven despite his sins?'
'So does that mean that Heaven doesn't recognize him as a sinner nor a Devil!?' Michael concluded.
'But why? he killed many innocent humans...he should have been baptized by those Lights and I should have Fallen for leading him here
'could it be that the Heavens recognize him as father's successor!' Michael thought as he glanced at Arakan.
While Heaven is a place where Angels reside it was not them who created or modify it according to their own wishes.
The Heaven itself was created by their father or God. While they live there they cannot control it. Heaven, itself seems to have a conscious that it uses to create an ideal habitat.
'So he is the one chosen? is that why I didn't fall despite bringing a sinner to Heaven?' Michael thought to himself as he looked at his palms still very confused.
"Michael!" Arakan called out as he tapped his shoulders.
"I am not talking to myself here," Arakan said as Michael finally turned around to look at him.
"I apologize," Michael said as he bowed in front of Arakan shocking the nearby Angels who were getting more and more confused regarding the situation at hand.
"hmm? what's with the change?" Arakan asked now confused on why Michael did an entire 180 from protesting against him to apologizing to him.
"I was mistaken before, I will call the rest of the Seraphs and tell them the situation," Michael said as he stood up spread his wings, and took to the skies.
'tell me the way at the very least' Arakan said in his head as Michael went to gather the rest of the Seraphs to tell them the news.
'Should I wait for the Seraphs or just start taking down the heaven?'
'there is no need to, from the looks of it Michael seems to have accepted that you are going to be the new leader of the three factions
'also since Angels are not the ones to start the conflict you can rest assured' Alice responded.
'I see' Arakan simply thought as he sat under the shades of a tree while the Angels flocked around him with curiosity evident in their eyes.
"Isn't that a devil?"
"Seems so however I can feel Holy energy inside him"
"He was brought by Michael-sama perhaps he is blessed by him?"
"Why would Michael-sama bless a random devil?"
"Perhaps he is going to be a new addition to his deck?"
"Thank you for waiting patiently now follow me," Michael asked as he returned after a couple of moments.
Arakan merely gave a glance before spreading out his wings and flew behind him.
The two of them passed multiple floors of Heaven as Arakan witnessed the way everything went there.
Each floor was optimized for a purpose and your number of wings decided on which floor you would reside in. The ones on the higher floor are the ones who possess stronger Light.
"So you are Arakan-san! it is a pleasure to meet you!" Gabriel exclaimed as she grabbed Arakan's hands and shook them enthusiastically.
Gabriel had the appearance of an extremely beautiful woman with curly blonde hair and a voluptuous figure and was known as the most beautiful woman in Heaven.
"So you are the chosen one? I can not believe that a devil would be one" Uriel said as he came and greeted Arakan with a polite bow.
Uriel had an appearance similar to Michael however he possessed a slight tan on his skin and crimson hair.
"It is a pleasure to meet you in person," Raphael said as he politely greeted Arakan as well.
'Everything is going smoothly...it seems that these Seraphs are expecting something from me' Arakan thought himself as the Seraphs guided him towards the God's throne without even him asking about it.
"There it is, the throne that we made for Father...it should be now yours," Michael said as the Seraphs took a step back while Arakan approached the throne.
The throne itself was embedded with multiple jewels and was covered in gold.
'Alice I believe you can do it' Arakan asked for the last time.
'I know it, I possess the blood of the previous God it should allow me to form a connection with the throne'
' at least temporary enough to know the locations of the others' Alice responded to him as Arakan touched the throne and infused his mana into it.
A strong surge of Holy mana erupted from the throne as the Seraphs started to kneel one after another.
It was a power way too familiar to them.
'Father's Holy Aura!' The four of them thought in unison.
The light subsided as they all could again look at the throne the four were ready to greet their new God however froze at the sight of him.
Arakan was sitting on the throne with pitch-black armor around him similar to his monster form.
However, its look had changed completely. The armor seemed to embody the universe as galaxies and stars could be seen spread all over it.
