Chapter 7 - Back to the fire lake

After a period of deep meditation, the Godhead rose and made His way to the Keep Place, a secure vault where all keys and locks were stored. To His dismay, He discovered that the keys to the Fire Lake Prison and the cell keys were missing.

In a voice that resonated throughout the heavenly realm, the Lord called out to Angel Green Yul, "My Lord, speak, for your servant hears," responded Angel Green Yul with humility and readiness. The Lord asked if he had retrieved the keys from Angel Ching Mo following their confrontation at the gate of the Fire Lake Prison. Without delay, Angel Green Yul hurried to the cell to investigate if the keys were still in Ching Mo's possession. Ching Mo admitted, with a mix of frustration and resignation, that the keys had slipped from his grasp the moment he struck Angel Green Yul.

Determined to resolve the situation, Angel Green Yul armed himself with his sword and shield and proceeded to the Fire Lake Prison gate via the underground Fifty Pillar Way. He suspected that Angel Strong, a formidable being, might have freed himself given the absence of the keys. As Angel Green Yul neared the prison gate, he heard the ominous clinking of chains. The darkness was pervasive, and he realized too late that he had forgotten his lamp, making it nearly impossible to see or identify the source of the sound.

Angel Strong had partially freed himself, having removed the chains from his legs and now struggling with those binding his hands. He retreated into the shadows upon hearing someone approach and demanded, "Who are you?"

In the engulfing darkness, Angel Green Yul, cleverly pretending to be Ching Mo, replied, "It is I, Ching Mo. How did you overcome Angel Green?"

"My Lord, I am strong, even if my powers are lesser compared to Green's. Today, you shall be free, and I believe the kingdom is yours now. Remember me when you seize the kingdom," Angel Green Yul deceitfully assured.

"How will you unlock my hands? Do you have the keys, or what are your plans?" queried Angel Strong.

"My Lord, return to the chair where you normally sit. There is a sharp object attached to the table. Hook the chains onto the sharp object and sit tight. I will pull you back, and the chains will come off," Angel Green Yul instructed, continuing his ruse.

Angel Strong complied, his hope renewed. In the meantime, Angel Green Yul found the keys on the ground. Seizing the opportunity, he swiftly used them to lock Angel Strong up again. Realizing he had been deceived, Angel Strong roared, "Ching Mo! Oh!" Angel Green Yul fled the Fire Lake Prison immediately.

Elsewhere, Angel Shang had been diligently searching for Angel Green Yul. Ching Mo, however, remained silent, convinced that Angel Strong had vanquished Angel Green Yul. As Angel Shang was about to abandon his search, the Godhead appeared and inquired if Angel Green Yul had returned from his mission to the Fire Lake Prison gate.

The Godhead was on the verge of leaving when Angel Green Yul arrived, breathing heavily from his ordeal. Angel Shang, concerned, asked him to sit and recover from his strenuous journey. Ching Mo, witnessing this, laughed mockingly at Angel Green Yul and said, "The time has not yet come."

"You are mistaken, Angel Ching Mo. Your end is near. I pretended to be you to gain entry to the prison and search for the keys. After finding them, I locked Angel Strong permanently. He called out your name; did you not hear?" retorted Angel Green Yul with a sense of triumph.

"You have condemned me. Angel Strong will pursue me the moment he escapes," Ching Mo lamented.

"My God is sovereign and omniscient," replied Angel Green Yul confidently. He then departed to cleanse himself at the Celestial Waters. As he walked, Bang Lee, seeing him for the first time since his release, greeted him with a mix of awe and respect.

The Godhead then summoned Angel Shang and commanded, "Prepare, for tomorrow is the day of induction. The angels from the Incubation Realm will arrive this time."

"Yes, my Lord," responded Angel Shang with reverence and readiness.

As the celestial beings busied themselves with preparations, the anticipation of the induction ceremony filled the air. The Incubation Realm, known for producing the most diligent and devout angels, was sending its emissaries, and the entire kingdom was abuzz with excitement and curiosity.

Meanwhile, Angel Green Yul, at the Celestial Waters, reflected on his recent encounter. The waters, shimmering with divine light, provided a sense of peace and clarity. As he cleansed himself, he pondered the future challenges and the ever-looming threat of Angel Strong. He knew that vigilance and faith in the Godhead would be essential in the days to come.

The narrative of loyalty, deception, and divine intervention continued to unfold, each character playing a pivotal role in the celestial drama. The stage was set for the next chapter in this epic tale, where the forces of good and evil would clash, guided by the wisdom and will of the Godhead.
