Marco: Head to Illias Village as fast as you can!Diane: Kweh!
Marco and Alice held on Diane"s feathers while she flew away, Marco was hoping that the angels would never go to south, where his mother"s grave is, otherwise things will start to go in the deep s.h.i.t…
His mind was unable to think clearly when he remembered what would happen to Illias Village and to think about the other ideas.
[Meanwhile]
Promestein woke up in another laboratory, and looked around.
Promestein: ….This place…
Near her, there was a person covered in black, and had a black fedora, her face was covered from a mask eerily similar to the one of the Plague Doctor. She was La Croix.
La Croix: The Drain Lab, Master Promestein. Black Alice transferred you here.
Beside her, there was another person, she looked like a little girl that was connected to some machines. She was Laplace.
Laplace: Vitals are normal. While you were asleep, the damage you sustained in battle has been healed, the hole in the left lung included.
Promestein: La Croix… And even Laplace.
And the last woman was Lucia, she was human, the only thing covering her were a green band over her big b.r.e.a.s.t.s and a green skirt with the midriff open, she had amber eyes and green hair.
Lucia: You had a lot of wounds. Is he still that strong? That Sinner, Marco.
Promestein: Lucia… I see, so all three have been gathered. Everything is within the planned range… But the results weren"t as good as expected. Despite being in a weak body, the Monster Lord managed to evade the seal. Although the Sinner was greatly weakened, he is not completely powerless.
...Girls… Do you think I am stupid?
La Croix: That is only an idiocy, you are able to create the Chimeras and we four together created the "White Rabbit".
Promestein: Then why… Why do I feel like I was overcome from the Sinner in knowledge…?
[Back at the protagonist]
Marco and Alice reached near Illias Village and got down, without getting noticed from anyone.
Marco: Alice, you wait here… I"ll go alone.
Alice: You idiot! You will get killed!
Marco: Not if I am not found…
Marco removed anything that was heavy on his body except for the Enrikan Shirt, remaining only with shorts, socks, shirt and a katana on his hand.
Marco: I"ll go…
Marco then walked to Illias Village, making as less sound as possible, in some minutes, he reached the place, the buildings were completely destroyed, there were only piles of wreckage… Other houses were consumed by flames, slowly burning into ashes.
Corpses littered the ground around the village and the interior of the burning houses… The remains of those unable to escape their own homes.
Marco was incredibly angered, but he managed to not explode… He knew this would happen… But he didn"t knew he would be so powerless about it…
He continued to hide behind a stone, before slowly going out and hide behind a pile of burned wood, avoiding an angel pa.s.sing by…
?: Ara… Your homecoming is a bit too late, Sinner. You took so long, that n.o.body stuck around to welcome you back.
Marco"s eyes widened and turned around and found an angel.
Marco: s.h.i.t!
The angel had blue long hair, she was wearing only a white long dress and long sleeves, instead of ears she had golden wings, on top of her head there was a golden halo and behind her back there were three pair of golden big wings.
Marco: I got already discovered… "And from the Archangel…"
Ranael: If you want to ask who destroyed the village, it was my work. It"s an Archangel"s duty to punish sinners. I inflicted the wrath of the Heavens on these villagers.
Then she let out a cruel laugh, and many pink tentacles came out from her left arm.
Ranael: I tightened this tentacle around their necks, until they ceased breathing…
Then she took out her right arm, and a carnivore plant came out.
Ranael: I swallowed some with this arm… And dissolved them away, as they writhed in agony… The villagers here were quite interesting. They kept begging and pleading for Illias to help them. All while I slowly squeezed them to death…
Then from her skirt, many purple octopus" tentacles came out.
Ranael: And crushed their necks with these tentacles.
Her hair turned snakes, revealing the real form of this… Abomination…
Ranael: Clinging to Illias all the way to the end… So pathetic. Still begging and pleading to the very person who ordered their deaths!
Marco gritted his teeth, but he managed to keep the Serene Mind, even if weak.
Ranael: Ahaha… You look so angry.
Ranael sent her tentacles to Marco, who dodged with Fallen Angel Dance before shooting forward, he can"t escape, he needs to fight with everything he got, in just a moment he could di-
Marco: Huh?
He realized where he was, he was under the tentacles of the Archangel Ranael, unable to get out.
Marco: W-What…
Ranael: Without that transformation of yours, you are unable to see my speed, I already know how Serene Mind works, so you were unable to sense me… And now you will slowly die…
Marco: No… No, I will not!
Marco struggled under her, but he was too weak…
Ranael pressed a bit more on his body, and he could feel his bones cracking, he was too fragile…
Ranael threw away his sword, so he can"t attack anymore… He was completely harmless now.
Ranael: You can"t do anything, just die…
Marco realized that her words were true, he couldn"t do s.h.i.t about it, he underestimated the archangel, and soon he would be either killed or digested… Then started letting out some tears from his eyes and took a deep breath…
Marco: AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
He let out a cry of desperation, he was powerless… He can"t do anything… He failed...
….
No…
…
…
...He will not go to h.e.l.l alone…
...
Ranael: Oh? You"re crying? Don"t worry, big sis Ranael will take you to heaven…
Marco: …
Ranael: What? You are already broken?
Marco: ...SYSTEM!!!
He yelled to the sky, surprising Ranael and Alice who was hiding behind a tree, she just reached the place because she was unable to find Marco, and when she seen him, he was already crying, but his expression was completely different from what one could expect from a sad person…

Suddenly, he released a bloodl.u.s.t and killing intent that started to frighten Ranael and Alice, he seemed serious about it… He will drag the heaven down with him if necessary…
