When he saw that the Angel Power in Roland's hand had truly been extinguished as well, undoing Angel Fall by sending the angel to Heaven in the physical sense, Aqua of the Back's expression stiffened.
The members of God's Right Seat were beings who used a Magic Formula that removed original sin to wield Angel Magic Formulas in human bodies.
That was why their power and authority surpassed even the Pope's.
God's Right Seat could not simply be regarded as counterfeits imitating the Archangels, nor was the distinction between them merely that of pirated and genuine versions.
To use an online game analogy, Aqua of the Back was merely following the same class progression as the Archangel Gabriel. They differed in level and attributes, but there was no absolute suppression of a subordinate by a superior.
As long as Gabriel did not simply use celestial control to blast away the earth's crust and overturn the board, fighting Gabriel for a short time was no problem for Aqua of the Back.
In fact, because he was still human rather than a higher-dimensional spiritual entity, he could even exploit that characteristic to forcibly seize some of Gabriel's Angel Power to strengthen himself.
It was a path that was both his ideal and his destination, both his goal and power itself.
And so, he had personally witnessed his corresponding Archangel being toyed with by an ancient dragon of sin, then outright destroyed.
To Aqua of the Back, it felt like an idol fan watching his beloved idol being turned into a sex toy with a hypnosis phone.
Although he dearly wanted to inherit the Archangel's will as a believer and offer his life in battle against the Beast of Revelation,
Aqua of the Back still forcibly restrained the anger surging through his body.
