The aura of peace and harmony that permeated within the Heavens instantly disappeared.
Countless multicolored chains made of Heavenly runes appeared and bound the Divine palace.
From these chains, countless other smaller multicolored chains appeared, all rushing towards the angels within the heavens.
"BROTHER! What is the meaning of this?" Screamed Lilith as she could feel these strange chains tightening around her soul and existence.
"I will liberate my people…no matter what."
Azrael's voice resounded within every angel's mind.
His courage and determination could be felt through those words alone as it awakened something within them. Something they thought they had lost.
The more the angels resonated with Azrael's Will, the deeper the connection between the chains and their souls became, until they were completely fused.
Mikael, still sat on his Golden throne, calmly scanned the runic structure and composition of these chains and quickly concluded.
"You made a deal with the True Empyrean of Finality? What did you have to pay for this? How did you even come into contact with an Empyrean?" Seriously asked Mikael as he slowly started to see what was happening.
Empyreans that completely governed conceptual principalities like The Finality Empyrean were beings of unreasonable power.
Even though he didn't know much about these beings, he only discovered their existence when he gained the memories of his previous egos, and what he learned scared him so much he had to erase the memory from his mind.
"Don't worry, I just discovered a thread of this being's existence within his legacy. He just wants me to revive one of the extinct primordial families in exchange. How did you specifically know it was the True Empyrean of Finality though? I thought you erased your memories?" curiously asked Azrael. The possible thought of his brother betraying him not even being considered.
"It's a long story, I'll explain later. You should've warned us before you made this whole thing, we could've helped. What's next?"
A smile appeared on Azrael's face as he finally had his brothers on board.
"What are you smiling for you idiot?" Cheekily said Uriel who had been silent this whole time.
"Are you guys in?" Asked Azrael as his smile widened.
Not even bothering to answer all the Seraphim Kings stood behind him ready to face anything.

In the distance, a man with sixteen beautiful white wings calmly floated.
He had short black hair and simple blue eyes. His aura and allure were simple but inexplicably beautiful. Behind him, eight illusory beings stood.
"You've gone soft master." Stated one of the figures that looked like an older version of Mikael.
The man, who was obviously Deodar, simply chuckled as he didn't answer.
"This Empyrean might be an issue if he spreads his influence within our domains before our geniuses have time to grow and be scouted. Should I do something about it master?" Asked Older Lilith.
"He's a talented Empyrean for sure but compared to the monsters that will soon appear from the old and new generations, he's nothing. I'm sure that In not even a week most Archetypals will have become True Empyreans. By then, any foreign influence will be meaningless."
"Master, what exactly does this new age represent? How come our lands hold so many Destined ones? What is actually happening here?" Asked Mikael who was shocked to hear his master's prediction.
Becoming a True Empyrean held a significance and weight within the cultivation world that only a few could comprehend.
"I don't know little Mika. Ever since that Kid committed the Taboo, the links of heaven have been chaotic beyond belief. It's as if a seal on reality was completely released. When he committed the Taboo, I went to heavens from other Myriad consortiums and major planes to see if anyone else had ever committed the taboo and what I found terrified me. Across all the Consortiums and planes, in each and every single consortium, the Taboo had been committed by someone. This someone being the kid."
This information left all the Aged Seraphic Kings speechless.
"We're being used as chess pieces in something we barely understand. It wouldn't surprise me if the kid has a plan for the little angels revolting below us."
"You're okay with being used by him like this? Are we not supposed to be the rulers of the Mighty heavens ?" Asked aged Uriel as his voice held traces of disappointment, anger, and fear.
"You're too inexperienced to understand how powerful one has to be to do what he did. The power and Intelligence required to pull off something like this is beyond anything I've ever seen in my entire life traveling through the Myriad. Don't misunderstand me, I've tried fighting his will but…"
As he uttered these words, painful memories emerged within his mind.
"Anyways. Let's go, we have things to prepare for."
The actions of a single being had caused a ripple that spread beyond existence and reality itself as it reached the Grand Myriad.
The changes this new age would bring were already being felt as every day, geniuses more powerful than the previous appeared.
Old monsters that had been stuck within the same realm for eons finally broke through and shot through the realms.
It truly felt like a limiter had been removed from the Myriad Consortiums.
