"You want me to look into the reincarnation that the angels are doing? I thought that they had this ability as the devils are also in the same boat. When a devil gets killed, they are transported back to Hell instead." Adrian stated.
"The Devils are an exemption because they are guarding the body of the Dragon of Revelation. The moment the Dragon of Revelation escapes will be the moment that the promise with the devils be null and void. The Underworld cannot contain the Dragon of Revelation because it taints everything around it even souls." The God Hades stated.
"If those devils were not guarding the Dragon of Revelation, then they would have already turned to ashes by now. It is also the reason why they became frantic when the Dragon of Revelation was freed. All the Seven Original Devils had to use lots of their power to contain the Dragon of Revelation from their side or else they would no longer have that benefit." The God Ah Puch stated.
"I see. If you want to know how the angels got such an anomalous system, you need someone to investigate and that someone is me. Can I kill any angel that gets in my way?" Adrian asked.
"You can as I do not care as long as you complete the task." The God Ah Puch stated.
"I think it would be better for you to kill one so that its soul would lead you to the thing that reincarnates them. You can kill the others after you have seen what you need." The God Hades stated.
Adrian thought that the God Hades would stop him, but he just gave him a go signal after the job was done. As expected of a god of death that does efficient work, he must do the work first then murder after. Adrian agreed as this system is also annoying him to the point that he needs to escort every angel soul that he kills so that they can get to the underworld.
"I will be right back then. I will make sure to look at it." Adrian stated as he pulled one of the angel souls that he dragged to the underworld.
Adrian returned to the mortal realm with the soul of the angel in his hands. The souls could be seen trying to fight for its life as it was getting called by something. Adrian did think that it was a blessing for the angels that they could skip the underworld, but he was mistaken.
"I guess it is true what the other gods say about the gods of death. Never mess with one unless you want to die a peaceful death and have disastrous transition to the next life. The reincarnation system of the angels must also contribute to the angel's disregard for life as they are basically eternal. They did not fear the gods of death because they will never see one... until I mess with them." Adrian stated with a smile as he let go of the angel soul.
The angel soul suddenly slipped towards the direction of the Silver City where the fighting is still pushing through. Adrian felt the presence of the dragons and even Bronx, but he did not show himself. He no longer has the blessings of multiple gods of death which is why he is back to his old self. He also needs to be careful as he can no longer fight on equal terms with the Six Virtues if he is alone.
Adrian made sure to cast Spirit Form Transformation so that he could not be easily seen. Thankfully for him, the angels were getting distracted by Bronx and the dragon kings which is why he slipped in easily inside the Silver City. It also helps that the thrashing of the demons and the destruction of the dragon breaths created small holes in the barrier of the Silver City.
Adrian was easily able to slip inside the Silve City thanks to these small holes, but one must be very perceptive of mana to even see them. Adrian followed the angel soul with great speed and care that angels that were around did not notice him. The angel soul slipped towards the bottom of the Tower of Babel.
Adrian thought it was strange that a soul would go underground but he did not think much and just followed. He needed to find the source of the reincarnation, which was his main objective. Even though he wanted to rip all the heads of the angels he passed through, the mission is still priority as the God Hades told him. He also smiled as he imagined the angels horrifically learning that they can no longer be revived.
Adrian passed through the first gate of the Tower of Babel and quietly slipped or rather sunk to the floor. Since Adrian is also a spirit right now, he can pass through any physical objects as long as he has the mana capacity. Upon slipping underground, Adrian is shocked to see the scene before him as he did not expect that there was an underground facility below the Tower of Babel.
The underground facility was massive but not that big that it would cover the entire underground floor of the Silver City. It was filled with numerous glyphs and magic circles written in different languages that Adrian could understand while some flew over his head. There were guards in place as there were hooded angels praying on each side of the triskaidecagram which is a thirteen-sided magic circle.
The hooded angels were chanting something that is not their language as Adrian would know angelic language. Ark gave Adrian a copy of the textbook for speaking the angelic language. The thirteen hooded angels were not chanting in their angelic language as it was a darker and heavier language compared to theirs.
The angelic language tends to be more melodic and high-
pitched but the tone of the language that they are speaking is dark and heavy. It was as if the angels were reciting a prayer to a god of death instead of singing praises to it. Adrian saw the angel soul or rather angel souls get sucked into the center of the magic circle.
The angel souls that are sucked into the magic circle are then filled with a familiar energy as the body of the angels starts to materialize or rather its soul starts to stabilize. Adrian is not mistaken about this feeling as this is the energy that is similar to Limbo. He could not be wrong as that is basically his workplace where he hangs out when he is needed to be a judge.
"Impossible! There should be no way to create energy that is the same as Limbo. They may be able to create an environment that can contain that energy, but they should not be able to create it...unless." Adrian thought as he suddenly inspected the magic circle much more closely.
Adrian saw the magic circle and he felt that his head was getting heavy as the incantation on it were not for the faint of heart. The magic circle contained an element that can seal a god or a godlike entity. Adrian wanted to know which entity is sealed as it is releasing the same energy as Limbo, but his soul started to materialize as he gets closer to the magic circle.
Adrian did not notice that his body started to become corporeal as it reacted to the energy being emitted by the magic circle. The angelic guards were suddenly on high alert as they saw a demon barging in on their sacred grounds. One of the angels is even someone that Adrian knows very well as they are not in good terms.
"The Demon Equinox!" Pope Pristina or rather the Angel Pristina stated as she saw Adrian's upper half materialize from thin air.
"I guess the energy from the magic circle reacted to my body constitution that is the same as death energy. By this principle, the being trapped by this magic circle should be a being of death. Who captured a being that is death itself?" Adrian thought as he was more focused on the magic circle than the angels pulling out their weapons.
