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)

Without hesitation, the defensive Sefira decided to accompany Naomi and some members of the grand council, for they would depart the Commonwealth of Heaven to realize the intelligence breakthough. Radueriel did the same thing.

Using her power, the Lesser Darkness rendered the celestial illusion that a physical vessel appropriate for the Primeval Angel was being formed, before the latter being appeared to settle into the body. Then came the group departure, and subsequent arrival at the intelligence chief's external reconnaissance base.

The powerful being of blinding white light went to work and located the nearest celestial foot soldier of darkness. When the opportunity presented itself, she slowed down greatly the flow of time in the immediate area, so that no one in her midst would get any opportunity to discern what she would do next. She then slipped away. Upon reaching her target, she immobilized it and laid a hand upon its head.

It was time for the dark presence herself to go to work. Exerting her power throughout the omniverse, she programmed every single one of her non-primordial celestial soldiers to self-destruct the moment an enemy attempted to extract the location of the Darkest Domain. Turning to the one soldier, she made sure of the ease of the latter's pending capture by her angelic opposition.

After a mere moment, Radueriel terminated the contact, returned speedily to the base where her colleagues were, and restored the flow of local time upon arrival. She could only confirm to those same colleagues what they themselves had surmised concerning Hands of God that remained untouched, in each universe.

Later, intelligence agents managed to capture the same soldier. Naomi utilized a memory drill and confirmed what had already been confirmed. As soon as she and her subordinates attempted to obtain the origin of the immobilized being, the latter self-destructed instantly.

A disappointed Primeval Angel spoke out.

"Despite all her risen might, not even this Lesser Darkness of whom Anna spoke can find these inanimate things instantaneously, so as to bind them," came the rather obvious words, "A mere Primeval Angel cannot accomplish this, either."

For the mentioned one, truly divinely concealed acts concerned her mother and her uncle, the Darkness and God, indeed.

Not long after, all the disappointed angelic beings returned to the Commonwealth of Heaven, and the Lesser Darkness accompanied them.
