Second Darkness: Against The Heavens

by Torlek

Amara and Chuck made all their celestial changes. The former's intelligent creation, the most powerful created being in existence, has become aware of the growing celestial resistance against her, and responds accordingly. (Set after Second Darkness: Beyond Power-Hungry Designs, during Grand Council of Angels, during Prophet of the Eternal, and before From Darkness To Darkness)

22. Lilin Deceit

Lilin Deceit

Having won heavenly approval, Sefira saw to Radueriel's demonstration of the stated power, merely noting Metatron's concern that various beings of archangelic potency were incapable of this wonder.

For their part, the celestial audience could only see the Primeval Angel conjure the lifeless forms of all recently deceased angels to a great expanse within their realm. She then conducted the appropriate primordial-level spell, as only a being of mid-tier nigh-omnipotence or higher could.

After the mass angelic resurrection, the Lesser Darkness saw to the creation of Lilin souls, souls of the very species she had deemed to be fitting supernatural helpers for her intelligent creations living on the physical plane. With a single spell, she had the powerful being of blinding white light surpass the endeavours of one Balthazar in terms of creative work, while also ensuring that her soul creations appeared to be mere monster souls within ordinary angelic perception.

It did not escape the attention of the self-proclaimed Active Divine Feminine, however, that a few amongst her angelic targets had become unnerved towards the creative display of the radiance of deception before them. Although the likes of Metatron, the Holy Living One Israfil, and the Electric One Raziel, had all deemed the new souls designed intelligently before them to be monster souls, even they discerned that these were not the same as the souls of Eve-lets.

The most powerful created being in existence felt fortunate that her four primordial cousins were bonding far away from the Commonwealth of Heaven. The nearby presence of these archangelic beings of primordial tzohar, or radiance, would enable them to expose the very nature of the supernatural souls that had been created, among worse things. As for all the non-primordial beings surrounding her, regardless of the extent of their augmented power, none of them were capable of laying bare the falsehood before them.

When this Lilin deceit performed by Radueriel had run its course, the Lesser Darkness ensured that even a certain one-time hedonist preferred what had been created by the Primeval Angel, over and above his own work.
