A short while later Aerin's avatar disappeared…
In The Multiverse…
Hey Léōn, I want to chat.
In that moment, Léōn appeared in his human form…
"What do you need, my child?" Léōn asked.
I just want to know what's next. Your father tested me, and now he's testing my family. Why? What does he want from my family?
"I didn't even know my father's plan. All I know is his plan is good and absolute. There is absolutely nothing I can tell you without consulting him directly. How would you like to go to Ouranos to ask him yourself?" Léōn asked.
If I want answers, I guess that is my only option, but will I be safe?
"You are now an angel, a being of limitless divinity. You can be in my father's presence if he allows you to. No harm will come to you unless he wills it," Léōn replied.
Then Léōn moved himself and Aerin to Ouranos…
"Hello, father," Léōn said, greeting The Absolute.
"Hello, my son," The Absolute replied.
"Aerin would like to ask you a question," Léōn said.
"I am fully aware. Bring him before me," The Absolute replied.
Then Aerin was brought before The Absolute…
"My child, what is your question?" The Absolute asked.
I wanted to know why you are testing my family. I understand why you tested me, but what do you want with my family?
"It is very simple, my child. I want your family to join you as angels. For that to happen, they must take the path you have and grow stronger while purging the evil within themselves," The Absolute replied in a firm but kind tone.
I see, but why make them fight against the fallen angels on Earth?
"Because they need to have the will to fight to continue their journey of becoming angels. You remember just how difficult it was to become an angel. They must endure hardships just like yours," The Absolute replied.
I understand. Well, I kinda understand. Thank you for explaining this to me. I will take my leave.
"Hold on, I have a gift for you, child," The Absolute said as angels brought a box made of an unknown divine material.
"It is a sword you can control with your mind, but it is very special too. I have given my son the knowledge of its capabilities. He will explain them to you," The Absolute said as the angels gave the sword to Aerin.
Thank you. I will be on my way now.
Then Léōn transported himself and Aerin to The Multiverse…
Your father said you knew what the sword's capabilities were?
"I do indeed, and the sword is called Dominion. It can destroy fate, logic, and power. Essentially, it is a sword whose slash will never miss and will destroy what it cuts no matter its durability," Léōn explained.
Really? That seems rather powerful, almost too powerful to give to me.
"You're going to lead my father's armies. It's only right for you to have command over such a sword. Oh, that's right, it's fused with you and you alone, so no one else can use it or they will be erased," Léōn explained.
Well, that's good to know.
Thanks, Léōn. I can rest easy knowing my family is safe now.
"You must not let your guard down in The Multiverse, though. There are many evil beings stronger than The 16 Eyed Beast out here," Léōn said in a serious tone.
Good gravy. What is the deal with all these powerful evil beings?
"The Morningstar has 15 generals that support him in spreading evil across existence. The more evil in existence, the stronger The Morningstar and his generals get. That is why you must stop him once you get stronger and defeat his 15 generals.
Also, not all 15 of his generals are equal in power. There is one that you must be wary of called Beelzebub. Beelzebub can destroy the Multiverse," Léōn explained.
What! Really?
"Yes, really. He is also much faster than you, so you need to continue training," Léōn explained further.
Alright, will do. Thanks for your help, Léōn. I'll see you soon.
Back on Earth, two days had passed…
Alright, you guys, time to get training once more.
"Really? You pulled us out of bed at 5 am. We are still exhausted," Lio complained.
Too bad, so sad. We are continuing our training.
Since you are still so tired, maybe y'all should take a 12 mile run.
Now get running!
What is next for Aerin? What is next in his family's training? Who are these fallen angels, and who is Beelzebub? Find out soon…
To be continued…
