Chapter 42: Armored Robot Man

In a beam of light, Jake touched down, unsure of what to expect at the end of the Bifrost's destination. However, it definitely wasn't what he was seeing.

"Thor Odinson, show yourself!" One of the angels screamed, standing in the middle of a human city street. Odin had sent Thor to Earth, right in the heart of a bustling city. Burning cars and scattered bodies surrounded the five angels.

"I will kill every pathetic mortal in this city until you show yourself, Thor!" The angels had surrounded a mother and her young daughter, using them as leverage. Jake wondered where Thor was, if he was even nearby or had landed elsewhere.

"Please, no..." The mother desperately shielded her daughter with her body.

Tears streamed down the little girl's face. "Why are you doing this? I thought angels were the good guys."

"Ahahahahah... the good guys? Of course, we're the good guys. And we'll be doing a good deed when we smite all you inferior creatures and take this realm, along with the others, for ourselves," the sneering angel raised its blade above the trembling pair.

"That's enough!" Jake shouted in rage. He had arrived just a minute too late, witnessing the destruction of an entire city block and the deaths of innocent people, all to lure out Thor. Now he understood why Odin sealed away this race of angels—they were ruthlessly cruel.

The five angels turned their vicious looks toward Jake.

"No, run away, mister. They'll hurt you too!" The little girl's voice trembled from within her mother's arms.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Jake Gremory. It seems my brethren failed to hold you off long enough before the Bifrost closed. It matters not; we've wanted to kill you as well for daring to expose the fact that we'd escaped Heaven's seal. You put our 500-year revenge against Asgard in jeopardy! We will not be denied!" The angel who organized the situation gloated, attempting to monologue to Jake.

Listening in, Jake was surprised by the crazy coincidence that he had inadvertently caused. Arriving in Asgard with a wounded Serafall, exposed Odin's attention to Heven's weakened seals. The escaped angels, fearing exposure and ruin, accelerated their plans to attack Asgard. No amount of explanation would make them believe he was from another dimension—it was all an accident. Nevertheless, Jake had no intention of trying to explain. These five angels were pure evil and needed to be defeated.

Turning toward the little girl still trembling in her mother's arms, Jake reassured her, "Don't worry, it's going to be alright. I'll defeat these bad angels. After all, we're natural enemies... since I'm a devil!" His devil wings sprang from his back, and with spell circles forming in his hands, he glared at his five white-winged opponents.

"You can do it, Mr. Nice Devil!" The little girl cheered for him.

"You four make sure to kill him," the lead angel ordered. "I will search for Thor myself. He couldn't have gotten far without his godly powers." With that, he took off into the sky, leaving the other four angels to swiftly fly toward Jake.

Jake sensed that some of the humans on the ground were still barely alive. The mother and daughter hostage pair were fortunately escaping while the lead angel was distracted. The unconscious bodies around him meant he couldn't rely on his stronger area-of-effect spells though. That was fine by him; these opponents seemed straightforward.

"Die!" One of the angels swung a flaming sword oozing with holy energy at Jake. He summoned an ice sword in his right hand and parried the blow to the side. With his left hand, he created an ice gauntlet. He reinforced his muscles with magic before delivering a vicious blow to the angel, sending it flying into a nearby office building. The angel crashed through cubicle after cubicle, shattering glass and scattering papers.
