[??? POV]
They have rested for so long. Since their son pulled off the impossible. Helel stole The Graal and used the souls of the Satans he vanquished as energy to commit suicide and dragged him along with him to the great beyond.
They were surprised at his inguinity then again he was always his most creative son. In a way he knew he was going to die that day. With his future sight never going past that day was a sign that he won't be alive to see past it.
"You are too strong father. My devils and Lilith will always never truly be safe with you around as you can easily destroy us. I know not why you let me live till now but that mistake will be your undoing." was the final words of Hel- no I should call him my his chosen name.
"Lucifer Morningstar. You have made your choice." they said as they looked upon their once beloved child.
"I have father. See you on the other side. NIHIL!!"
For a moment Lucifer strength was above mine. Equal even to the two living conceptual dragons. For only a moment and he used that to erase both of us from our plane of existence.
I slumbered so long in the void. Lucifer and his Satans had passed on and were reincarnated into an alternate timeline of our universe. For a while I watched him.
He did not follow his old path. Instead of getting born as a devil he was reborn as a youkai. With his inate talent still abundant after some centuries he became a True Sage. A bonafide Super Devil class being. He eventually left Japan and the Shinto Faction and went to Africa specifically Nigeria where where the gods of the land have grown indifferent to the mortal plane.
Honestly I wish him luck. As Asmodeus and his ilk will stand in his way eventually. Maybe one day I might reach out to him for help against Trihexa the fourth original primordial.
I remember when it was just Red, Infinite and us in the gap. All of us blessed with power beyond belief.Only I sacrificed some power for complete control. Only I sacrificed my draconic concept for true wisdom and omniscience.I was the one who descended on Earth and met with the ascended divine spirits calling themselves gods. They eventually grew into the title true but the first True God was me.
I created a pantheon of just me and based on my power gained all the possible godheads but we absorbed and merged all of them into my original draconic concept, Creation. Boosting it to the heights of power it once was while keeping shards of all the other concepts but at al lesser level.
It's why I became known as the Almighty as I could do it all.
But even I was bound by fate. I have long seen my death. Didn't know exactly how but I knew Lucifer had a hand in it.
We died but tried to reform like other gods do but Fate itself was preventing our return. We struggled for centuries before we decided to rest.
Then we felt her.
What an anomaly. An Ultimate Class half vampire…yet so pious and firm in her belief is us. Surprisingly she had one of our more powerful gears,Sephiroth Graal. How did a vampire gain that? The Heavenly System should have made gears exclusively for humans. Not half humans, no supernaturals just humans.
They needed it it more. Half supernaturals already have a good leg up because of their heritage.
They do not need more.
But it seems this mistake is what would save me.
"Lord… is that you? When the Faceless One said you died I struggled to believe it."
"Everything dies child. Including me. At least I died as I lived. In the protection of my flock."
She pauses and starts weeping when I tell her of my end. How I had to battle and seal the Trihexa who broke out of his chains during the Great War. How I had to take to the field against the devils with less than ten percent of my true strength.
How a remarkable human aided him unknowingly in the midst of battle by taking the attention of Satan Asmodeus and felling him leaving him to deal with the rest on his own.
How I slaughtered all except my son,Helel who took advantage of my forgiveness to use a ritual to kill us both.
She then surprises me by telling me the recent happenings of the world. How Tobisson has grown to heights near Odin and Shiva. How he empowered all humans and freed those who wanted to be free from those vile devils.
My faith in humanity was rewarded more than I expected. Now we have someone truly strong to aid against those Machine Gods.
"My God… I have achieved balance breaker with the Graal-" she was saying before I cut her off.
"Balance Breaker? You mean "ascension" ? That's a weird name to give to the personal evolution of a gear." I said partly in confusion. I had set up that the gears will grow and improve with the user. Expanding and hopefully growing more in power than original. After the ascension the gears were meant to become akin to clan traits of the devils that can be trained conceptually. It seems this knowledge was lost and they instead use it in a crude way.
No matter.
"It's a feature not a big in the system like Azazel theorised."
"The day that child can comment correctly on my work is the day we lend him the keys to Gabriel's room."
The little one called Valerie giggled at that for a while before continuing.
"Ok ok ok ha ha ha. I should have known my Lord would have a sense of humour. As I was saying. My gear evolved into a wish granting state. I want to use it to bring you back to life fully Lord. What should I say correctly?"
Hmmmmm interesting. It evolved to something akin to the Holy Grail in that weird dimension I once journeyed to that grants wishes. I hope that weird magus with Second Magic doesn't find his way here. He was tiring to be around the first time.
"I see. Say this carefully: I wish that Yahweh the Abrahamic God will resurrect in full completely merging back into himself the parts of his essence in Sephiroth Graal and the True Longinus."
That should help me easily retrieve those bits of power.
She started glowing and said the words I told her bar for bar and then it began.
My soul started refilling once more. Healing me of all the soul erosion I have been going through for centuries. All my memories returned in full. My mind merged back once more into a singular being and not stuck in different personalities. My strength grew and kept growing until I was at the level of Indra and Shiva before it slowed down massively and stopped.
It seems she can't resurrect me back to my old strength but she resurrected my essence in full. It would take some time to reach the heights I once was at but even at this level I am unrivalled and could always fight above my strength class.
In my divine form I am truly massive on a continental scale. I picked her up gently as she is suffering from mana withdrawal after that ordeal. I cradled her and smiled gently as I looked upon her face. She saved me and for that she will be rewarded.
I haven't had a new mortal Seraph since Metatron. I hope she takes my offer to be one.
I then used my energy to cut a hole through this empty afterlife back into my throne room while still carrying her only to see my children segueing with Michael about something.
They stopped and saw me. Doubt, longining, love flashed through their eyes quickly but even I wasn't ready as the missile I call my daughter,Gabriel tackled me to the ground crying tears of joy and then her brothers jumped in.
Ohhh how I missed this.
"Yes Gabriel. I am back and I am not leaving ever again."
"Your father has returned."
More tears came out and I was then bombarded with questions from all of them. Someone news leaked of my return and all of my host came flying into the sixth heaven.
Yeah. This is what I needed. My family all around me.
