The era of Raphael

Lord of Heaven returned to His Supreme White Gold Sun, He fell into a deep slumber.

Amidst praises and hymns, Paradise Mountain and the Astral Realm returned to normalcy once more.

One hundred years later.

Beside the Platinum Heavenly Throne.

Michael stood confidently on the steps, looking triumphantly at the officers of the Glory Angel Legion he had summoned, and said in a deep voice.

"For the past five millennia, our battle with the Abyss has been at a stalemate, stagnant."

"In this war that the entire Astral Realm is watching, it's truly shameful that we, the Sovereign of all realms, Paradise Mountain, have been unable to consistently defeat the Abyss."

He didn't say that there seemed to be a tacit understanding between Paradise Mountain and the Abyss, currently in a strange state of equilibrium.

Others might tolerate this situation, but he couldn't.

He continued.

"I admit it's because I can't defeat Lucifer Monarch of the Abyss and Hell, that my Paradise Mountain has been unable to conquer the Abyss and eradicate its Abyss Demon."

"But things are different now. I have been granted the Rule of Justice by my Lord, ascended to the Twelve-Winged Blazing Heaven Divine Throne, become one of the Blazing Angel, and am blessed with the Crown of the Heavenly Kingdom."

"The Rule of Kingship and the Rule of Justice reside within me. I am confident that I will defeat Lucifer, conquer the Abyss once more, and annihilate the endless Demon!"

"Gentlemen, follow me into battle!"

"Yes, Your Highness Michael!"

The Angel officers banged on their Platinum armor and shouted.

"This time, we will win!"

The year is 105100 in the Angel Empire Calendar.

Michael, the third Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, led billions of Angel of the Glory Angel Legion into the Abyss Blood War Field once more to conquer Abyss.

When the Rule of Kingship and the Rule of Justice resonate on this vast battlefield, the roar of the Rule of War also echoes throughout the world.

Endless battles raged between heaven and earth. Lucifer saw the triumphant Michael, snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, and charged forward with his sword.

The two Rule Grade beings clashed instantly, reaching a fever pitch in a flash.

And below.

Endless Abyss Demon surged forth from the six hundredth layer of the Abyss behind them, colliding with the billions of Angel of the Glory Angel Legion.

Another fierce battle has begun.

One month later.

The battle between the armies of Angel and Demon has left most of the ordinary Angel and Demon exhausted.

The Abyss Demon army and its commanders, along with the Legion Commander of the Glory Angel Legion, tacitly suspended their battle.

After resting for a few days, they resumed the war, but the intensity was much lower. Instead of sending the entire army at once, they launched attacks in batches.

It's not that they don't want to stop.

It was not because of the high heavens Blood War Field.

The war between Lucifer and Michael is not over yet, and the fighting will naturally continue.

Ten years have passed just like that.

Above the Blood War Field, the battle between Lucifer and Michael finally came to an end.

When Michael reappeared before the billions of Angel, bruised and battered, everyone was stunned.

The great Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom was still unable to defeat Lucifer Monarch of the Abyss and Hell.

Fortunately, Michael's expression remained very calm, or perhaps it was because his face was covered in so many bruises that his expression was not visible.

"Gentlemen, I have misspoke this time; I have been defeated."

"However, I have found the reason for my defeat. It is because I have only recently obtained the power of the rules and have not mastered it properly."

"Leave a portion of the Angel to guard the area; we will withdraw temporarily and fight again next time."

On the opposite side of the Angel Legion.

Lucifer stood in the Void above countless Fallen Angel and Demon, hands on his hips, laughing heartily.

"Michael, welcome back to get beaten up next time!"

The year is 106000 in the Angel Empire Calendar.

Michael, the Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, swore an oath on Paradise Mountain to launch another large-scale campaign against the Abyss.

After thirty-seven years, he suffered another crushing defeat, bruised and battered.

This defeat made him begin to doubt himself, wondering if he really couldn't beat Lucifer, since he had two rules to use while Lucifer only had one.

At this moment.

The Blazing Angel of Truth, Gael, comforted him and encouraged him to continue fighting, for victory was just around the corner.

The words of the Master of Truth rekindled Michael's faith.

The year is 107000 in the Angel Empire Calendar.

Michael, the Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, once again swore an oath on Paradise Mountain to launch a massive campaign against the Abyss.

really.

This time.

He discovered that he could actually fight Lucifer to a standstill, although hundreds of years later, he was still defeated and forced to retreat with a swollen face by Lucifer.

But he was full of confidence.

The year is 108000 in the Angel Empire Calendar.

Michael, the Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, once again sets out on an expedition.

But this time...

He was defeated by Lucifer fifty-nine years later.

When he returned to Paradise Mountain, he seemed to have discovered something.

So for the next two thousand years of his reign, he no longer personally led expeditions into the Abyss, but instead, like the two previous Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, he dispatched a continuous stream of the Angel Legion to fight on the Abyss Blood War Field.

At the same time, countless Angel were dispatched to various worlds to rescue those invaded by Abyss Demon.

The year 110000 of the Angel Empire Calendar.

Michael, the Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, has ended his ten-thousand-year reign over Paradise Mountain.

And in this year.

With the presence of countless gods and Angel in the Astral Realm, Annatania personally crowned Raphael as the new ruler of Paradise Mountain.

Chief Angel Raphael became the fourth Monarch of the Heavenly Kingdom.

The age of Michael ended, and the age of Raphael began.

Later.

The Angel Scholar of the Heavenly Kingdom compiled a book on the reign of Michael on Paradise Mountain, which provides a fair assessment of his rule.

"His Blazing Angel Michael ruled Paradise Mountain for ten thousand years."

The Angel of the entire Paradise Mountain were much more enthusiastic about carrying out their missions and fighting on the battlefield.

All of this is related to the three-tiered, nine-rank system of Angel honor he established.

and.

He essentially continued to serve as a training ground for the young Angel of Paradise Mountain.

The Demon of the Abyss and the Angel of Paradise Mountain waged war across countless worlds throughout the Astral Realm, bringing not only war to billions of worlds but also allowing the radiance of Paradise Mountain to shine upon the world once more.

Although he suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Master of the Abyss Lucifer, his courageous fighting spirit is worthy of emulation by all Angel...

The year is 110001 of the Angel Empire Calendar.

Raphael, the fourth Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, issued his first decree after assuming the throne.
