It was impossible for the angels not to sense it.
A divine being from a different dimension, a being powerful enough that even from several dimensions away, his power could still be sensed by those who weren't even sensor-types by design or training. A powerful divine transformation, and an energy so great that it broke through the layers of dimensions so that they could sense it. They could only hope and pray that the other energy they could sense was fighting the divine energy didn't win and come over to their own dimension.
Sometimes the energy would be further away, and sometimes closer.
It was an energy so pure that from what little was leaking into their dimension, they had rushed to collect it before anyone else could collect it from them. Eventually, the energy spikes once more, before it traveled to a dimension far enough away that they couldn't sense it anymore. All they were left with was the energy they had scrambled to collect and one other thing.
Something that just appeared in their dimension after they had collected a ton of energy.
It appeared in Heaven, where they were storing the energy they had collected, showing that that certain something that had appeared, was connected strongly to the thing that had produced the energy. It also had trace amounts of the energy, depleted as it was, of the same energy that had leaked into their dimension. It also had an actual connection to the other dimension still, to the source.
"... What did Valper's research come up with?"
"Well, the energy actually contains living memories... and it contains heart as well."
Michael, the leader of the Angels, a man wearing holy robes with 12 golden wings and a golden halo, asked a woman with similar features to himself. Both of them were fair skinned with blond hair. They looked like they could be siblings, other than the color of their wings, they had such similar features they would be hard pressed not to be mistaken for siblings.
Gabriel.
"Living Memories and Heart?"
"It's a Divine, but Not-Divine energy... it is mortal, immortal, divine, and not divine all at the same time. We don't have access to the memories, but we do know they are memories. We know the person this energy belonged to was pure hearted, and his energy contains abnormally pure traits as well... we don't know who he is... but we know he both is and is not human."
"A demi-god?" Michael asked with some confusion.
"No, a human who can become a god at will, and turn it off at will... like a type of transformation. The energy has strong healing and purification powers, and it truly matches the energy that was still inside the severed hand we found." Gabriel was just reporting what she had learned from the top researcher they had. "How much of the energy do we have?"
Michael didn't like that question.
"... Why did he ask?" Michael was slightly suspicious of their top scientist, but he held his tongue on a lot of issues since he lacked any proof of the man doing anything wrong. The man was just much too curious for his own good at the moment. "At the moment, we have managed to gather energy equal to an angel with 8 wings... and with the energy still in the hand itself, as depleted as it is, we have 10 wings worth of energy."
"... That much leaked through the Dimensional Gap?"
"... We can't sense the energy anymore, but from what we observed, it was energy large enough that it was expanding the dimension it was located in." Michael had been able to sense that much. It was an absolutely terrifying amount of raw power to imagine.
Quick Note: In the Boruto the Movie Light Novel, we learn Naruto's chakra is so vast and powerful that his chakra is Expanding his Universe and Destroying Space/Time in his universe. That is how Momoshiki and Kinshiki tracked Naruto down, even as Fused Momoshiki was draining the power out of several universes around them, he still called an exhausted Naruto a "monster".
"That huge... so how quickly is it fading away?" Gabriel was now very curious herself as she looked at the tank that was being used to hold all of the energy they had gathered up. The tank was made to prevent as much of the energy from fading away as possible, which made it hard to sense with her energy sensing how much they actually had. "... Valper says that it should be possible... using Angel DNA and this God/Human-X Breed as he called it. It should be possible to create a breed of Angel that can't Fall." Gabriel stated.
Michael glanced over at her.
"God/Human-X Breed?"
"Well, it is a Human that can Become a God, but it's DNA both is and is not human. We don't know, but his energy is compatible with our energy thanks to his pure heart, and his DNA is compatible with our DNA." Gabriel didn't understand all of the science stuff, but she had been happy to listen to the human man who told her that the cloning process would be possible.
Michael had been afraid.
He had been afraid of allowing this energy to disperse into nature.
The energy that they collected had such a strong bond with nature, that they feared allowing it to fuse with nature too much would form the creation of a new god, or an avatar of nature itself. To prevent the birth of a potentially unstoppable, and unstable, monster he wanted to create a DNA Clone of the Human who produced the energy, but fuse that DNA with Angel DNA so that they could keep a firm watch on him. It would also allow them to have an angel that couldn't fall if possible.
Then they could store and seal the energy they collected inside of the newborn angel.
"I do not like the idea of these... Test Tube clones, but to prevent a possible calamity... we must relent and do what must be done." Michael hoped the other Factions didn't find out and assume they were trying to manufacture a Super Angel with the powers of a Foreign God. He didn't want to start a war, but he also couldn't allow a possible calamity to be born.
Nature was dangerous, and if too much of that energy fused with nature and become sentient, they could have a world ending calamity on their hands in moments.
"I've already given Valper my blood, and blood we collected from the severed hand. Since our DNA was the closest match." Gabriel learned that her DNA was close to the best match for compatible DNA for the clone, so that they could transform the clone into an angel instead of a human. "The DNA from whoever the hand belonged to, seems to have DNA that can transform easily... so he says there is a 99% success chance. He doesn't know how well the memories inside the energy will transfer over though." Gabriel was giving Michael everything he would need to know and more.
Michael was starting into the tank of energy.
It was warm, and comforting, and pure.
The energy was like it's own source of warmth and comfort, as if the very energy itself was telling him "Everything will be okay". It was addicting, practically impossible for him to pull himself away from the energy for too long.
It was dangerous.
It was an energy that easily formed bonds and connections to others, and made you feel fulfilled right down to your soul. It made you feel protected, like nothing could ever hurt you. It was the type of energy that if you basked in it for 10,000 years, you would never get bored, or tired of it. You would just exist in a state of relaxation.
"How many other species have this energy?"
"We have observed that 2 different tribes of yokai have gone to war over who will keep a piece of the energy they found. It seems this energy has a powerful effect on youkai... if I might be... crude... this energy is like catnip to youkai." Gabriel didn't want to laugh because it was an extremely serious matter. Their angels had collected most of the energy, but there were two places where other species got to the energy first. "It would seem that Yasaka managed to get her hands on the energy, and some other tribes of youkai are warring over it... but no devils have gotten any."
"Good... not great, but good enough." Michael didn't like ANYONE else having it at all.
It was just too dangerous.
If a youkai had it though, it wasn't like that was the worst outcome. They would find some kind of way to preserve so that they could bask in it or something, since it appeared to be extremely addicting to them. If there was already a war between tribes being fought over it, then it was obvious they were going to do their damn hardest to protect the energy they managed to collect and not let it fade out.
"So, should I give Valper the A-Okay to make the baby?"
"Yes... but keep a close eye on him, and the second that newborn draws breath, take him or her away from Valper." Michael didn't want Valper to have access to the Next Generation Angel, seeing as this new angel was predicted to be unable to fall like the rest of them.
"... Wait.. does that mean I'm going to have a son?"
"Well, as the Angel of Chastity... this might be the only way you can have a child." Michael knew his sister embodied the virtue of chastity for a reason. She was the most naïve to sex of them all, to the point that she had the least of an opinion on dirty stuff. The idea that she could ever become a mother through normal means was unthinkable.
"Oh! I can't wait to name my kid!"
"Actually, we will let him decide his name... if the energy really has memories, then it is possible that giving him the wrong name can cause him internal issues. Once he is old enough, the child will do soul searching and pick his own name." Michael wanted the baby to remain nameless until he could pick his name. The energy was documented to have memories inside of it, so on the off chance that the memories contained a name, it was best for them not to give the baby some kind of mental disorder by calling him a name that didn't match the name that already belonged to him.
"... Okay."
"... But... I guess nicknames are okay." Michael didn't enjoy seeing her sad face.
"Yeah!"
He had faith that she would be a good mother.
At the same time, he was still extremely worried.
