In Paradise…
"What? I'm going to turn into an angel, but why?" Arthur asked.
"Your son has changed quite a bit and misses you. I'm making an exception for him since he is now one of the strongest beings in existence and will one day strike down evil," Léōn answered.
"It's hard to think he has changed that much," Arthur replied.
"You have no idea," Léōn replied as he teleported himself and Arthur to Heaven.
In Heaven…
Knock! Knock!
I'll get it.
When Aerin opened the door, he was shocked. Standing before him was his old man beside Léōn, but his old man had changed and become an angel just like his family…
But how?
"I made an exception and also got my father's approval," Léōn replied.
"Not just that, but you are also now on the level of Michael, so you are one of the most powerful beings in existence," Léōn added.
What? I'm as powerful as Michael now?
"You are indeed," Léōn answered.
That's hard to believe.
"But it is true," Léōn replied.
Alright.
"Hello, Aerin," Arthur said.
Hello, old man. Would you like to come in and meet my family?
"I'd love to," Arthur replied.
Inside the house…
This is my wife, Aelira.
"Hi," Aelira said as she waved.
"Hi," Arthur replied as he waved back.
These are my best friends, who I consider family. This is Lio, and this is Lyra.
"Hello," Lio and Lyra both said, waving.
"Hello," Arthur replied.
And this is my son, Arthur.
"Hello," Little Arthur replied, a little nervous.
"A mini me? Haha, come here, grandson. No need to be shy. I won't bite," Arthur said, kneeling and holding his arms out.
Then Little Arthur, Aerin's son, ran to Arthur, Aerin's old man…
Then everyone had a big feast to welcome back Arthur…
"Hey, Aerin, I've been meaning to ask you. Why do I feel like I have no need to take breaks or even eat or sleep anymore?" Arthur asked.
It's because angels have a limitless supply of energy, and it's called Divinity. Divinity is perfection. If something is perfect, there is no reason for a source of energy like food or rest, right? Only a higher level of perfection can energize what is already perfect.
"Ahhh, that makes sense, but that means," Arthur said as he realized something.
Yes, there is a perfect god watching over us all. His name is The Absolute, and guess what? You were brought here by his son.
"You really have changed, haha. Let's catch up," Arthur said as both him and Aerin sat on a couch in the living room.
Then Aerin explained to his old man all that had happened. He explained everything from getting separated from his friends and breaking his chains to leaving the small world they first lived in, to Aerin fusing with The Multiverse and becoming an Archangel…
"But what is this all for?" Arthur asked.
Well, I'm going to beat the evil that plagues existence. Then Léōn will create a new Heaven and Earth.
"But why does it have to be you?" Arthur questioned further.
Even I don't know that, but I know it's going to work out in the end.
"Well, just make sure to be careful," Arthur replied with a sigh.
I will.
What is next in Aerin's journey? When and where will this evil appear? Find out soon…
