Chereads / DxD: King of Salt / Chapter 6 - Chapter 5

Chapter 6 - Chapter 5

It has been 100 whole years since Zadkiel had been reborn and his time as an angel. He has grown remarkably in strength and was told by God to have almost reached the level of the Five Great Seraph's. He has reached enough strength to destroy 2996 barriers. His training with his younger sisters has also been going well as their speed and power have also increased.

Also after these 100 years God has been creating the Garden of Eden in the Fourth Heaven. He was present as he was making the garden along with his other siblings. God was very careful and concentrated as he was making the Garden as he tried to make sure nothing was wrong.

Zadkiel watched as he made the land, waters, lakes, ponds, trees, vegetation. And unlike how it was portrayed in the Bible it took God quite some time to make it as he didn't want to rush his creations. He also made the Sun and Moon and made them orbit making day and night.

Also, unlike what the Bible and the other myths said, the god's weren't the ones who created the Earth. What the early humans interpreted as them creating the Earth was them making their own respective dimensions which they interpreted as them making the Earth.

Zadkiel had also learned that the early earth had already been forming by the time he was born. When he asked God about it he was told that he had watched the formation of the Earth since the Big Bang. It spoke volumes of how old god was and how old he and the rest of the angels and other beings were.

As time passed he has gained much popularity among the angels and it wouldn't be a stretch to say that they treat him with the same amount of respect and reverence that they treat the Five Great Seraph's with. Their respect increased further when God would sometimes delegate Zadkiel to give the orders for the angel's in heaven in his stead while he worked in his project.

This made him be seen as a proxy for God by the other angels and they respected him greatly. Sometimes the respect they have for him is so great that they pay more attention to him than the archangels and the Five Great Seraph's.

Speaking about the Five Great Seraph's and the Archangel's. His relationship with the other archangel's have increased as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel would spend time with him and also sometimes ask him for his suggestions. Among the Great Seraph's he has the greatest relationship with Gabriel with whom we would often talk with.

Gabriel was by far the most innocent of the Seraph's and this also made him quite protective of her and made him treat her more like his little sister than an older sister. He also dotes on her which she also likes. He also treated Azazil and Azariel like her as he would dote on the two, teach them and train them.

This of course had the effect of making them seeing him in a greater light. It seemed that they saw him and regarded him so highly that it can be said that the both of them both him in the same light, position and status as God himself. Zadkiel was well aware of how they treated him and hoped that it won't do anything to them that might harm them in the future.

His relationship with the other archangel's have been going smoothly and he can say that he is in a positive relationship with them and most of them ask him for advice due to how close he is to God. Yophiel was ever the curious one as he wanted to know what was special about him. Kokabiel would challenge him for spars. Asmodai was on the other hand spending time with the female angels.

Asbeel was also quite close to him as they would talk from time to time when they met. She was quite unique among the angels. Then there was Penemue, she is a strong angel woman as she took her job seriously. In the last 100 years he has become strong enough and increased in status that he could be considered as one of the Five Great Seraph's or even more.

Though there was one archangel with whom he didn't have that good of a relationship with and that was Helel. From the moment he was born he has risen in status and power. So much that he has now reached the realm of the Five Great Seraph's and closer to him. Helel was uncomfortable at how Zadkiel was.

From the moment he was created he was seen as the most exalted and most worthy to stand by God's side and was seen as His Right Hand. He was treated with the greatest respect due to him being his first creation and so was the most powerful of his angels as well. He was the Prince of Heaven, The Son of God and The Greatest Of His Creations.

Yet now an angel who was born after him and many others has risen to the same position as the Five Great Seraph's, the group of the strongest archangel's which he is a part of. He felt that his position as the closest to God was being taken from him and he didn't like it. But he also knew that God didn't like one of his "favourite" angels to be tampered with so he didn't do anything.

Right now Zadkiel was training Azazil and Azariel while Gabriel was watching them along with Kokabiel, Asbeel, Azazel, Shemhazai, Baraqiel, Sariel and Yophiel. Azazil and Azariel had gained 12 wings of their own. They kept on attacking him while Zadkiel kept on deflecting their attacks with magic barriers as he stood in place.

The two angels were flying as fast as the wind as they attacked relentlessly while Zadkiel kept on using his magic barriers to block their attacks. His reactions were much sharper and faster than the two angels as he was blocking them with his eyes closed.

"He is very strong. He is able to block the two of them by not even seeing them." Kokabiel said as he analysed him.

"It no wonder he is said to be the same rank as the Five Great Seraph's, he has all the requirements. 12 wings, knowledge, great in magic and in combat." Azazel said with a smirk.

"Though I would like it if he would stop training like this all the time." Gabriel said as she sat with her head in her hands.

"Come on lady Gabriel, let them do what they want." Asbeel said to her as she looked at them.

The other angels stood silently as they watched Zadkiel keep on blocking the attacks while the two kept on attacking. Then a few minutes later the two stop to catch their breath. Zadkiel opens his eyes at that moment which garnered the attention of all the angels present.

"I thought I told you two..." Zadkiel said to the two.

The two archangel's got into their stances as they looked at him.

"...Never let down your guard." Zadkiel said standing behind them.

The two of them turned their heads in his direction when they heard that with looks of surprise along with the other angels before the two girls were assaulted by attacks which tore their clothes and armor as they screamed in pain from the attacks before they fell down. But their bodies didn't touch the ground as they floated above.

Zadkiel looked at the two and smiled as his right hand glowed showing that he was the one who stopped theri fall. The two angels were now levitating in the air in front of Zadkiel as was looking at them.

"You need to put more focus in your surroundings than at one opponent. I've been teaching you for well over a hundred years now and you also have high positions in heaven. I know we don't spend the same amount time as we had before but you need to be more alert. Got it." Zadkiel adviced to the two of them.

"Yes Big Brother." The two of them said with utmost respect as they bowed their head to him.

Zadkiel smiled and then pat their head as the both of them enjoyed it. The other angels just smiled at their interaction as they looked at them. That was when Azrael entered the place which drew their attention of the gathered angels as they looked at him.

"Father is about to finish his garden and he said that he will be creating a new being and wants us to be there to see it." Azrael said to us.

Zadkiel's eyes widened when he heard that. Of course, as a man who had come from the modern world he is well aware of the legend and seeing God create the Garden of Eden, he knew what it was that he was about to create. And as a former human and as a Christian, he too wanted to witness this moment and remember it for all his life as that is something that not everyone can see.

"Well then, we must not let father wait. Let's go to him." Zadkiel said to him as he opened his 12 silver wings.

As if it were a signal all the other angels opened their wings and then flew towards God to witness his creation.
