Chapter 35: 35. Just An Ant
That influx of pure holy energy that vanished as soon as it came made Michael tremble as he knew very well to whom it belonged.
Michael didn't know what happened to Lucifer, but it should have been impossible for Lucifer to use holy energy again, this matter confused him as the most important thing was Lucifer was dead.
So how?
Even if he somehow was alive how could he be able to use Holy energy?
Michael's feelings were very complicated at the moment, he was one of the few angels who didn't hate Lucifer.
Because before he was Lucifer the Devil he was Helel his brother. He didn't know if he should be happy or angry, if Helel was able to use holy energy then he should have been forgiven by his father right?
Michael also hoped the person he sensed would be Helel his brother who was heaven's light bringer before he was exiled, not the malicious and dark Lucifer who didn't care about anything.
Michael was tired of this fighting, and to be exact he was under a lot of pressure trying to keep the matter of God's death under wraps and making the system function as usual.
So he was feeling a little happy when he received hope that maybe his brother was alive.
He didn't know how his other siblings would take this news, he hoped they would be civil.....

" No!" Irina shouted at her father as tears were pooling in her eyes.
" Irina! " Touji also shouted at her sternly. He knew it may be a bit harsh for him to treat a 5-year-old child like this but he didn't have a choice.
Last time he nearly died at the hands of that devil woman, he felt his whole body shiver in fear when he thought about that time.
He never expected his subordinate to take action against that devil kid, Their plan was to kidnap that kid and use him as leverage to plot against a Satan class devil.
But everything went to shit the moment his subordinate tried to kill the boy, Touji never knew what death was like but when he was beaten to an inch of his life and then healed he understood what death felt like.
Luckily his subordinate was killed without much interrogation which made him breathe a sigh of relief because naturally, he didn't want anyone to know of his involvement.
The plan he made was abrupt and very risky and since it failed they had to pay the price.
Touji thought of himself as a sinner as he knew he was the one who brought a disaster to the church with his reckless actions.
Even if nobody knew his involvement Touji still feared that the dragon would show up at his doorstep at any moment, thus he wanted to leave this devil-infested town.
Touji was someone who fit the apt description of a church dog, he believed anyone who didn't believe in his god was a heretic and even if he knew the existence of other pantheons he just viewed them as fake gods.
He was the type of person who could do anything and then state it was for god.
But what Touji didn't know was Venelana already knew he was the one responsible and also about his very smart plan.
She didn't bother with Touji as he was a dead man walking in her eyes, with the damage she did to him he wouldn't live past Forty.
Although she wanted to torture him she let him go due to his daughter. Venelana hoped Touji would know what was good and wouldn't try anything and live his last years in peace, otherwise, she might have to send him to an earlier grave.
Touji Shido made the grave mistake of offending not one .... but two son-cons and may be due to some heavenly luck his family won't be affected by his actions.....
.....
Touji had already decided that no matter how much his daughter threw a tantrum he would be taking his family abroad. Because he no longer felt safe in this town and didn't like the fact that his daughter was getting even more attached to the devil.
Touji felt like things were getting out of hand, if he didn't separate his daughter from that brat now then it would be exceedingly difficult to do so in the future.
How could a god's servant like him let his daughter be with a devil spawn, wouldn't he be a sinner?
So for both his faith and safety Touji had decided to leave Kuoh town. He wanted to take revenge and avenge the humiliation their church had to endure but the problem was how?
The enemy was just too strong, so strong that Touji with his minuscule strength had no hopes of doing anything. He could only take the next step and take his daughter away, as he didn't want any accidents to happen.
But he was also worried if he would be able to escape from this town without that devil woman knowing.
Surely she wouldn't care about an ant-like him, right?
He was just a little exorcist trying to preach his god's words to the lost lambs, trying to guide them on the right path.
There is not much for a Satan-class devil to notice him, right?
Touji comforted himself, but he didn't know that sending his daughter away wouldn't solve the problem.....
