Chereads / DxD: King of Salt / Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

Chapter 7 - Chapter 6

Zadkiel reached the fourth heaven along with his siblings and was surprised to find that all the angels in Heaven were now present in the fourth heaven. It was said in the myths that all the angels were present during the birth of Adam and Lilith but he didn't think that it was actually true.

He found God and along with the other archangels flew and stood alongside him. Gabriel was standing alongside him with Azazil and Azariel on his left. Helel and Michael were floating at God's right and left side respectively. God looked around and saw that all of his angels were present as he smiled.

"My children, I have called you all here to witness the birth of my newest creations and for the completion of my garden." God announced to the angels as he looked around him.

"We want to see your newest creations father." Michael said to go in his usual tone.

"Yes, I know son and I won't take too long." God said to him.

The angels watched as God then waved his hand. Then the ground of the garden started to shake a bit before the dirt rose from the ground. The angels watched as the mud and dirt started to take the form of a man and woman. But to the angels confusion they didn't seem to have any wings which confused them.

God was quite careful when he made them. The mud began to become more defined as arm's, legs and the head started to become more recognisable. Zadkiel watched the process with an awed look as he was seeing the creation of the first humans in Christian myth.

The face was now more defined and the male and female features were now more defined. The mud took the form of hair as the bodies solidified. And finally what stood in front of God and his angels were two beautiful statues made of mud, one male and the other female.

"And now, awaken my children." God said as his voice boomed across the fourth heaven.

The two statues glowed and then stopped and the people were able to see them. Now standing in front of God and his angels, were not mud statues made by God but two living beings who were living and breathing. The two beings opened their eyes and looked around curiously. It was however no surprise to Zadkiel as he knew they were both essentially newborns and as such might now know much.

Both the newly formed humans were breathtakingly beautiful and could compete against the most beautiful angels in heaven.

The man has fair skin, a toned body, platinum blonde hair and green eyes. (A/N : Adam from Record of Ragnarok.)

The woman has the same fair and smooth skin, but curvaceous body, platinum blonde hair which reached her hips and blue eyes. Essentially she looked like the female counterpart of the man.

But there was one problem for Zadkiel, and it was that both of them were stark naked. Though he couldn't actually blame them since it hasn't been time but they were really exposed here. But Zadkiel was someone who has lived for a hundred years so it wasn't a big deal for him since he has also learned to control his whole body as well. God meanwhile smiled when he saw his two creations.

"My children, I'm so happy that you are born." God said to them.

The two looked at him in confusion and curiosity when they heard him.

"Ah, yes I should at the very least give you an understanding of language." God said as his eyes glowed a bit.

Then the two humans glowed as well as they looked at themselves.

"Who... are you?" The man asked.

"I am your creator, God. And you two are my children." God said to them.

"Your... children?" The woman said confused.

"Yes, I have created you using the earth and given you life." God said to them.

"Given us life." The man said.

"Yes and I should also give you your names. Your name is Adam and your name is Lilith. You two are the first humans." God said to them.

The two humans repeated their names and after that God told them that humans are what they are. God smiled before he looked at the angels and cleared his throat even though it wasn't necessary.

"To all of my children present here. I will like to introduce you to Adam and Lilith, the first humans and my greatest creations. They are created in my image and have the potential fo become as powerful as I." God announced to the angels present.

Gasps were heard among the angels as they talked amongst themselves. The archangels were also talking amongst themselves when they heard that. As far as the angels were concerned they were God's greatest creations since they are so powerful but now the new race of humans are said to be his greatest creation. On top of that he said that they have the potential to become as powerful as God which shocked them.

"That is why I want all of you angels present to bow down to them as a sign of acknowledgement and respect." God proclaimed to the angels as they heard him.

This of course shocked the angels as they had never ever bowed to anyone other than God himself. Michael was also very surprised when they heard that. But then the attention of the angels were drawn when they saw Zadkiel flying slowly to the two humans. God didn't say anything and watched along with the other angels.

Zadkiel reached and stood in front of the two. The two humans were looking at him curiously while Zadkiel was at awe at being able to stand in front of the two primordial humans. He looked them up and down as they looked at him back. They reminded him of babies and he wasn't far off as he smiled at them.

"Hello, I am Zadkiel, it's nice to meet you Adam, Lilith." Zadkiel said with a smile.

"Uh, it's... nice to meet you too." Adam said to him.

"Me too." Lilith said to him.

"Now as you two are creations of father, I suppose you are younger brother and sister aren't you?" Zadkiel said to them with a smile.

The two were still a bit confused so Zadkiel told them about it. All the while God was looking at the interaction with a smile.

'It seems I was correct in assuming that Zadkiel would get along with them. I created them based on him after all.' God thought to himself with a smile.

"Well, now that that's out of the way. There is still father's order isn't it." Zadkiel said with a smile.

Adam and Lilith watched as Zadkiel proceeded to kneel in front of them with a smile on his face. Though he himself was quite happy as he was able to meet the first progenitors of humanity.

'I met Adam and Lilith, I'm so happy.' Zadkiel thought to himself.

The angels were shocked, mostly Azazil and Azariel who viewed highly and revered him. Seeing that same person kneeling in front of someone other than God was shocking to them.

Then Michael from God's side kneeled, then Gabriel and one by one the angels of heaven all kneeled to the humans. Helel was the last of the angels to kneel to them. Azazil and Azariel also took a bit of time to kneel to them. God smiled when he saw how the angels followed his will.

"Now my children this is my blessing to you. The Garden of Eden is now your home and it's your duty to take care of it. Rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on and across the earth. I give you my children over them all." God proclaimed to the two.

"Thank you... father." Adam and Lilith said slowly.

Zadkiel smiled a bit as he looked at the progenitors, who were now his little siblings. He wanted to know how their lives will turn out and was happy to see them.

'Things will become interesting. Especially since the time of the rebellion of Helel is drawing near.' Zadkiel thought to himself as his face turned into a serious one.
