"Stop, First Generation Michael. Do you think we would allow you to take Yoshino?" A childish voice came from within the space, causing the First Generation Michael, who was about to make a move, to pause. "Don't say you're just a clone right now; even if your Main Body were here, I wouldn't let you take Yoshino."
'How is this possible? This is a space I specifically separated from the turbulent flow of time and space. Without my permission, it should be impossible for anyone to enter here through external force. It seems this mission is not that simple,' the First Generation Michael thought, sweating coldly. Although he wasn't necessarily set on taking Yoshino, drawing out such a powerful existence was not his original goal.
"...Could you please reveal yourself and speak, esteemed one? To be able to speak in a space I created, I imagine you must also be an extraordinary existence," the First Generation Michael said respectfully.
"Alright. Although it's a bit against the rules, your recent use of your divine power to heal the damage caused by the forbidden curse in Yoshino's body is worth me appearing to properly thank you." The childish voice reappeared in the space, and the other party's words startled the First Generation Michael. He didn't expect the other party had been monitoring this place from the very beginning. It seemed he was truly fortunate not to have done anything strange earlier, otherwise, it would have been terrible if he had been discovered. After all, he was just a clone right now, and he didn't have much power to deal with such an existence.
The next moment, under the illumination of light, two Little Loli in magnificent attire appeared. Upon seeing them, the First Generation Michael's brow twitched: "I didn't expect it to be alaya, the inhibitor of humanity, and gaia, the inhibitor of Earth. It is truly an honor for this old man to meet you. However, could you tell me why you are interfering with the affairs of us in Heaven? You should know that this child is the fourth sephirah of the kabbalah tree of life and carries a replicated version of the kabbalah tree of life. You should know that Heaven will not allow this power to flow out. It is still a relatively gentle matter for me to retrieve her now. If other angels were to come, it would not be a simple matter. Even if my Main Body is not an opponent for you two great inhibitors, are you opponents for all of Heaven?"
"Hmph! Old man! Who are you trying to scare? Do you think you, an Archangel, can command all of Heaven? Even your so-called God wouldn't easily initiate a battle. Your current battle with Hell leaves you no time to be distracted by others, and you wouldn't send a clone to find Yoshino for this reason," gaia made a face at the First Generation Michael, saying disdainfully. She looked down on these hypocritical people. Now he actually wants to threaten her into handing over Yoshino? Isn't that asking for death? How could she possibly agree to this?
"If you really intend to start a conflict, then I will unite with Hell and call upon all my guardians to attack your Heaven. Don't doubt that I am threatening you. I swear on the consciousness of humanity that as long as you have even a hint of ill intent towards Yoshino, I will dispatch all my guardians to attack your Heaven." alaya looked at the First Generation Michael with a cold expression. As an inhibitor, she had made countless compromises for the balance between worlds, but this time, the matter concerned Yoshino, and she would absolutely not compromise. Even if it meant the destruction of the entire world, she would not hesitate.
"And all the heroes in my Elysium will join this battle. I think the Noble Phantasm Gilgamesh possesses should include weapons specifically against your Heaven, right? For example, the Lance of Longinus should be able to deal with you, right? This spear was the weapon that pierced Jesus back then. I don't think you can withstand such an attack. Even if you are a god, you would fall because of it, wouldn't you?" gaia sneered, looking at the sweating First Generation Michael. This guy wants to be tough? Let me see how tough you can be now.
"...Alright. Anyway, those guys in Heaven don't know about these things. As long as I don't say anything, no one else will find out. I don't want to create so many enemies for Heaven while trying to increase its combat power. If this were to happen, I would be a sinner to all of Heaven," the First Generation Michael reluctantly gave up his plan. It now seemed that even if he could bring Yoshino back to Heaven, alaya and gaia would truly unite all members of their Elysium and guardians with Hell to break through Heaven. At that time, Heaven might cease to exist.
"But I want to ask, do you really not want to come back to Heaven with me? You know, it's a very beautiful place. As the Guardian Angel designated by God, I can take you there. That is the legendary paradise on Earth, created by God Jehovah, the original home of Adam and Eve," the First Generation Michael said temptingly to Yoshino.
"No! Never! I feel that if I leave with you, I will never see the people I cherish most again. I won't be able to see the people most important to me! If that's truly the case, what good is even the most beautiful Garden of Eden? If I have to be separated from the people most important to me, I'd rather choose death! I will not agree. Even if I have to use all my power to fight you right now, I will not hesitate!" Yoshino said excitedly. She could feel that if she agreed to him, she would never be able to see Nozomi Tojo and the others again. At that point, no matter how beautiful or lovely the place she was in, what would it matter? She believed she would ultimately choose to fall or choose death.
After saying that, Yoshino's obsession drew upon the ten particles of the kabbalah tree of life within her. All the Spirit phantoms from the date a live world appeared around Yoshino, looking at the First Generation Michael. They surrounded Yoshino, protecting her, and an inexplicable connection linked the ten of them together. Although they were ten individuals, they could exert power exceeding that of ten people. This power prevented him from relaxing. If he were this child's enemy right now, he would have to fight with all his might. Otherwise, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"...Is that so? That's enough, child. You've given me a satisfactory answer. I'm very sorry to make you make such a decision, but I'm very pleased," the First Generation Michael smiled, looking at the wary Yoshino. The hostility on him had completely disappeared, as if the person who had just intended to forcibly take Yoshino wasn't him.
