With the death of Azriel's primal form, her reign of chaos was thought to have ended. The world, though devastated, was still recovering from the aftermath. People faced the harsh reality of their world escaping its dying age, forced to return to a fraction of the Stone Age, with limited technology, food supplies, and shelter. But little did they know, something unexpected was about to happen that would change the course of history, awakening the ineffable, forming new alliances and adversaries, and heralding the dawn of the supernaturals.
Chapter 1 Fallen Angels
The days before Mr. Hawthorne's recovery led to the cataclysmic fall of angels cast out of heaven by the will of heaven itself, following the death of God. This unprecedented event not only reverberated across heaven but also sent shockwaves through Earth and Hell, transforming Earth's atmosphere into something unspeakable. The skies darkened as the angels fell, their descent marked by blinding lightning and deafening thunder. The earth trembled beneath their impact, as if the very foundations of the world were being reshaped.
In the aftermath, the surviving angels began to notice changes among themselves. Some lost their full angelic powers and wings, others had their powers limited, and some were transformed into horrifying, insane creatures. Whether benevolent or malevolent, these fallen angels could still be killed by supernatural means, or even by earthly lethal force.
Among the fallen was Ereziel, once a revered angel of wisdom, now a being of uncertain fate. As he struggled to rise from the wreckage, he realized his wings were gone, and his powers were dwindling. The world around him was foreign, a desolate landscape scarred by the remnants of Azriel's destruction. Ereziel stumbled forward, driven by a newfound hunger for survival and a quest to understand the strange new world he found himself in.
With God dead and divine rules shattered, the fallen angels scattered, either seeking allies or foes. Their goals were clear: seek dominance, retrieve the fabled Sword of Heaven, also known as the Sword of the Spirit, and gain absolute power. Whosoever found the sword would become the absolute ruler, setting the stage for all hell to break loose on Earth.
Deep within the ocean's center, the ground cracked and rumbled, releasing intense hot bubbles, magma, and lava before erupting in hot flames. From the depths emerged shape-shifting, flying, grotesque creatures of hell, unlocking the first layer of hell.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Mr. Hawthorne's secret hideout, the possessed Cecilia could faintly sense otherworldly presences from a distance. Though her powers were now limited from her previous encounter with Malachi and Liliana, the thought of her own primal form's demise anguished her. As she stared through the window, a creepy, sinister smile crossed her lips. She turned towards Mr. Hawthorne, her eyes gleaming with malevolent intent.
"Now the true battle begins," said the possessed Cecilia.
Her sinister smile widened as she contemplated the chaos to come. She relished the thought of the impending conflict, her mind already plotting how to exploit the turmoil for her gain. Mr. Hawthorne, ever the loyal servant, awaited her command, ready to play his part in the unfolding drama.
The world stood on the brink of a new era, where angels, demons, and supernaturals would clash in a battle for supremacy. The death of God had set in motion events that would reshape the destiny of all beings. As the first layer of hell opened and creatures emerged, the stakes grew higher. Alliances would be tested, new powers would rise, and the fate of Earth would hang in the balance.

Ereziel, once a beacon of wisdom, now found himself wandering a land of chaos and despair. The desolation around him was a stark contrast to the celestial beauty of heaven. He felt a profound sense of loss, not only of his powers but also of the divine order that had governed his existence. The fall had left him and his kind vulnerable, exposed to the harsh realities of the mortal realm.
As Ereziel navigated the ruins, he encountered other fallen angels, each grappling with their new reality. Some had retained their sanity and formed small alliances, while others had succumbed to madness, becoming monstrous shadows of their former selves. The world was a dangerous place, filled with creatures of the night and remnants of Azriel's havoc.
In a secluded part of the forest, Ereziel met an angel named Sariel, who had also lost her wings but retained her wisdom and compassion. Together, they decided to search for the Sword of the Spirit, hoping it could restore balance and offer a glimmer of hope to their fractured existence. Their journey was perilous, fraught with dangers from both the supernatural and mortal realms.
On the other side of the supernatural alliance, having built shelters to live as one, they also felt the great disturbance. Becca, Hanna, Sharlene, and Peggy stood up, having all sensed the tremendous shockwave, and observed the changing atmosphere. Soon, Malachi and Liliana joined them, returning from their scouting mission with a few other supernaturals who had felt the disturbance and hurried back to their abode.
They knew something terrible was imminent. The tremendous clash of lightning and thunder and the darkening skies was unlike anything they had ever experienced.
"What do you think it is this time, sweetie?" Hanna asked, turning her gaze to Becca, who remained fixed on the distant tempest.
"They're here," Becca replied, her eyes still locked on the chaotic sky. "And I fear it's something far worse than anything we've encountered before." Her voice was barely a whisper, yet it commanded the attention of their alliance. They exchanged worried glances before standing to watch the unfolding events together.
In the midst of this turmoil, Malachi, Liliana, Amy, Bella, and Dante prepared for the battles ahead. They knew that the defeat of Azriel was only the beginning. The true challenge lay in facing the forces unleashed by the cosmic upheaval. Each of them carried the weight of their responsibility, ready to protect humanity and fight for a future where light could prevail over darkness.
Somewhere in the desolate part of the world, in an underground bunker, government agencies braced for the unknown. They had received grave news about the sudden atmospheric changes and the tempest raging outside. As soldiers continued to battle malevolent supernaturals and search for human survivors, world leaders convened an online meeting, securing communication through the remnants of a shattered satellite station. Despite the static in their connection, they agreed to eradicate all supernatural forces with extreme prejudice.
However, amidst their discussions, footage of Malachi and Liliana saving the day came up. Some world leaders proposed forming an alliance with benevolent supernaturals to aid in the fight against the malevolent ones. This idea was met with mixed reactions. Some leaders refused outright, others saw it as a necessary step to restore the earth to its former glory, and a few harbored ulterior motives, suggesting they could later discard or experiment on the supernaturals to understand the source of their abilities.
With limited resources, the world leaders had no choice but to unite against the common threat. They knew that rebuilding a utopian world from the ashes would be one of the most challenging endeavors in the face of such adversity.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the apocalyptic event, a few groups of human survivors fought their way through hordes of malevolent supernaturals, desperately seeking shelter. Grotesque flying creatures pursued them as they navigated rough and narrow roads, firing back with machine guns. Despite their efforts, some group members and vehicles were apprehended and devoured by these creatures. The airborne monsters seized a few survivors from below, tearing them apart, while other creatures fought over the scattered bloody remnants. Although the humans managed to kill a few of the horrifying creatures, their situation remained dire.
Taking a tight route, they witnessed these creatures brutally fighting among themselves for survival. Giants ripped the wings off a monstrous creature, and above the few surviving groups, more flying monsters chased and killed a few victims before cornering the remaining humans. Out of ammunition and surrounded, the survivors faced certain death.
Just as fate seemed sealed, a benevolent yet terrifying angelic figure came to their aid. With wings that sliced through the air, she cut two flying demons in half, their guts splattering on the ground. She quickly defeated the remaining monsters, her fierce appearance both horrifying and awe-inspiring.
As the angel approached the survivors, she began to present herself as an ally. Suddenly, a monstrous flying creature snatched her from below, lifting her into the air. Another grotesque creature joined the attack, and together they brutally ripped her apart, limb by limb, scattering her bloodied organs on the ground. The surviving humans stood stunned, their brief hope dashed, as the creatures turned their attention back to them.
Not long after the creatures prepared to strike, a blinding light shone with intense brightness. One creature was blinded while the other sustained burns as it tried to reach for a human to devour. Before it could succeed, another benevolent angel appeared, tearing the creature apart with bare hands. Simultaneously, another angel thrust its hand into the remaining creature, ripping out its heart and crushing it with a fist. As the light subsided and the surviving humans regained their sight, they found themselves face to face with two archangels: a male standing firmly and a female levitating in midair.
"Fear not, for your adversaries have been vanquished," said the male archangel, introducing himself and his partner. "I am Raphael, and my partner here is Eleleth. We are both archangels."
"You're safe now. Take the route ahead, and you'll find others like you," Raphael continued as he and Eleleth revealed their four angelic wings each. The humans stood stunned and speechless as Raphael warned them to be careful on their journey and to remain wary of malevolent angels and demons. With that, he and Eleleth departed, flying away at blinding speed.
