[ Realm of Sanctuary ]
It isn't stated or even calculated, the difference of time in this realm and that of earth.
But as things went by, the realm of Sanctuary itself had been rained with so many attacks by the Divine despite it being thwarted by the Angels.
" They brought in the front lines. " said some of the angels.
" I've lost contact with the Realm's Western Land- "
" There's too many of 'em!!! " Despite being outnumbered, the angels still fight as much as they can, even though more enemies are coming.
" Finish them! " said one of the attacking Valkyries, which was immediately shot by a certain angel's [Purifying Light].
" Hmph! " Seraphim helps her kind defend Sanctuary, using her weapons and skills to attack the enemies that try to outnumber the weak ones of her group.
" Sister Seraphim!? " an angel calls her as the two then fight the creatures from Tartarus as well as the Valkyries from Asgard.
" The 'Powers'* are still protecting the Eastern Lands of the sanctuary, the rest are unknown. " said the angel who fought with Seraphim.
" What about the 'Cherubims'* could you tell me where they are? " Seraphim asks as another angel comes and informs her.
" Most of the Cherubims are helping the Powers, while the Seraphims* are busy dealing with the Western Lands... "
" The only Cherubim I see available is- "
" You're the only Seraphim available here..., Sister Auriel! " said the angel as he called Seraphim's Divine name, 'Auriel'.

" Yrul!? " Seraphim calls the angel who came, and he catches him from falling too hard while shooting the enemies that target her.
" We need your son, now. " Yrul says as Seraphim heals him with her power.

" Warwick is not ready..., perhaps- "
" There's no time to waste, sister! " Yrul says while being weak, Seraphim's healing deals no good to the damages he was given.
" Ragna has not returned, even the Angels sent to searched him need some time to track his routes over the Gates. "
" We believe the Diviners interfered with his return, thus why they found this place. "
" Sister, we need Warwick now! " Yrul tells her.
" Ragna is lost, Carla has also been captured! "
" Our only hope in surviving is the Nephilim... "
" *cough*, even Zadkiel (Zack Kiehl) orders me to tell you this... " Yrul says this which makes Seraphim silent.
" Zadkiel did...? " she asks herself, realizing if the likes of Zadkiel order this, then this means bad.
" Yrul... " Seraphim asks all of a sudden.
" Can you please order the others to regroup and surround the 'Dark Forest'? " Seraphim asks which made Yrul understand.
" So you're doing it? " Yrul asks her while Seraphim still thinks deeply about this, but suddenly.
* Explosion appears. *
" I guess we better waste no time, sister. " Yrul says as he orders Seraphim to go! "
" Go! Wake that kid up! " Yrul tells Seraphim to do so, immediately telling the others to do what she asked as they make way for her.
" Don't let her escape! " one of the Valkyries pursued her and immediately got attacked by the angels.
" GO! "
Seraphim didn't flinch afterward, she flew quickly to where she stored her son, entering the Dark forest, making sure to activate the traps hidden in it for safety measures.
* Seraphim enters the Fortress, entering Warwick's chamber. *

" Really now...!? " Seraphim was angry to see this result, to think her son would take more time awake despite her current needs.
" Why is this boy so difficult!? " Seraphim decides to interfere with the device that supports it, trying to deactivate and prematurely end the hibernation.
As she deals with it, her memories begin to rush, showing her the moment before this battle.
It was moments after she and Ragna Twelve visited the
" We have a kid? " Ragna Current, our White Demon here, suddenly comes, seems he's already waiting for them both from the start.
" Pardon? " Seraphim asks as she looks at Ragna's stare towards her, but she immediately sees the astral manifestation of Ragna Hundred behind Ragna Current there.
" Seriously? " Twelve sees Hundred, and he quickly realizes what is going on.
" You spilled 'that' to him!? " Twelve asks Hundred in an angry tone but begins to sigh nonetheless as Ragna Current there already stared at him with anger.
" Sorry if this means hiding things from you, My Current Self. " Twelve starts.
" But that kid wasn't- "
" There's no time... " Ragna interrupts.
" Either that kid's ready or not, there's no telling when we will need him. " Ragna says out of a sudden.
" Even if it means giving him some side effects for his interrupted hibernation. " Ragna coldly states a statement which makes Seraphim plunge towards him, grabbing him in his neck.
" You had a sharp tongue, aren't you Current Timeline Ragna Kent? " Seraphim asks this with anger, of course she should.
" Seraphim! " Twelve shouted at her, stopping her with his voice as her hands held his current vessel.
" I could utter even worse words... " Ragna replied instead of trying to smooth things up.
" Listen, child... " Seraphim says to Ragna Current.
" Even though that child was made artificially, it still needs me to bear in my womb... "
" For nine months I bear him for you, raised him for you... "
" Allow the child to be trained by you to be ready for these wars we're at. " Seraphim tightens her grip.
" Do you think I will let it happen, the thing you just said earlier? " Seraphim asks but Ragna Current, in his White Demon phase, sees Seraphim with no regret and instead.
" Mark my words..., Seraphim... "
" You..., will... " Ragna cryptically says it as the scene changes to the present time, where Seraphim herself is doing what Ragna said and feels so embarrassed at herself as the worst thing that could happen, happens.
" Why? " Seraphim tears while forcefully awakening her hibernating son, trying to dismember the metal part of the device to deactivate it in her panic.
" Wake up, wake up! " Seraphim continues to do so, but she then feels something, immediately looking at the door she went to earlier.
" Angel... " said the incoming creatures, it seems they managed to bypass the others who defend this place.
" We from Tartarus are here to feast on you all, feasting for this 'Day of Freedom'... " said the creature as the 'Crown of Thoughts' glows in its head.
" What do you mean, freedom!? " Seraphim summons a blade made from light.
" With that thing in your head, you're all just slaves, no more no less. " Seraphim says for the creatures slowly come, slowly come large in their number and strength.
" We sense a mixed blood... "
" We sense an accursed smell of a half-breed. "
" Ah..., it must come from the one you're trying to release, isn't it, Archangel... "
" Is he your 'spawn'? " said the creature teasing Seraphim.
" Might wonder what lucky demon you mate to have him, we must congratulate you both for even succeeding in making the 'Mix-Blooded' one. "
" But sadly..., we should say goodbye to him... "
" For he will become our feast, hrahahahaha...! "

Extra:
* Angel Hierarchy:
1. Archangel Rank Titles:
Identified with Golden Halos.
- 'P...'
An unknown rank, for this rank, had long been forgotten as no angel had filled this rank after their members were gone.
- Seraphims: " The Trusted Ones "
The most revered even among the Archangels, for they were the most trusted warriors of the Creator before the Holy Wars and the Timeline Reboot even began. These Archangels were given a greater knowledge of the Creator's secrets.
Example:
- Auriel 'Seraphim'.
The first ever Seraphim you were given in this series, the angel of 'Purifying Light', was a great loyalist to the Creator, one that was trusted to guard many of his secrets.
She is now revealed as one of 'Ragna Kent's wives, Ragna Hundred to be exact. Her powers as a Seraphim have been weakened as her womb is used to give birth to her Nephilim son, Warwick, as his surrogate mother, despite his artificial biological engineering genetic foundation.
The reason she did this, was to at least make Warwick born normally, fearing that if Ragna Twelve, Hundred, and the others made him more artificial, it would make the Nephilim's life worse than the ones before, for the ones before him, the previous Nephilims, their fate are dust.
- Zadkiel 'Seraphim'.
One of the holders of the 'Twelve Eye of Time', he was the holder in the Previous Timelines. He currently shifts himself to a human named Zack Kiehl who happens to be an old friend of Grandma Rory.
- Cherubims: " Guardian of Secrets "
The Great Guardians of the Angelus/Angels. Their body is of the Divine Light and a hybrid of many divine creatures. With their divine and bestial might, they must guard the Creator's secrets held by the Seraphims. It is unknown whether the Cherubims were given the secret themselves or not, but they must simply guard it.
The Cherubims are technically like Gargoyles but like a Higher-Breeding or Tier version of them.
Example:
- Yrul 'Cherubim'.
One of the Cherubims that one might see looked like a shredded and muscular, yet skinny gargoyle but still kept a divine humanoid face with long golden hair. Despite his body not being that mighty, he is one of the tallest in terms of height, not to mention one of the fiercest guardians.
- Thrones: " Carriers of Creator "
These are the carriers of the creator.
( As the author, I envisioned them as the Biblically Accurate Angels, with fiery wheels or chariot-like beings covered in eyes, the Creator used them as carriers for his things. )
2. Angel Rank Titles:
Identified with White Halos.
- Dominions: " Duty Regulator of the Angels "
The Dominions, regulate the duties of lower angels, overseeing the order and discipline of the heavenly hosts or their angelic family. They are often portrayed with scepters or orbs, symbolizing their authority over the other angels.
Due to their duties, Ragna Current our Main Character decides to call them 'Dom' for whatever reasons, it's up to the readers to guess.
- Virtues: " Elemental Warriors "
The Virtues are the elemental warriors of the angels. It is their duty to learn the way of the elements of nature.
- Powers: " Warrior Exorcist "
Powers are warrior angels tasked with fighting evil spirits and ensuring cosmic balance. They're like the angels' version of exorcists.
- Principalities: " Angelic Protector of Mortals "
The Principalities, or the 'Prinz' as Ragna Current too called them. They are the angels who oversee nations and groups of people or should just say they're the mortals' crowd control. They also happened to be the Angelic Enforcer stationed to guard the people Ragna Current brings to the 'Realm of Sanctuary'.
- Gargoyles: " Guardian Beast Warriors "
Gargoyles are the Guardian Beasts of the Angels, basically, they're the ones who guard the lower ranks while the Cherubims guard the Archangel and the Creator's secrets. There may be great confusion about which one is which regarding the Gargoyles and Cherubims, but you might check on their Halo.
- Lesser Angels: " Angelic Servants. "
Meant to do angelic services, despite the title, these angels are still strong, they could at least fight against Disaster Level Monsters and Demons.
