The wall crawler shook his chains aggressively, not wanting to believe what he was hearing. Surely he's lying, like how Mephisto had attempted to do the same until Peter had seen through what the Germanic Hell Lord had intended to do to him.

Peter: "How can you be my cousin?!".

Lucifer: "Ah, it's quite simple, my dear bastard cousin. You see, my father, the Divine Sky, created me and my kin only to serve our dear old grandparent, the Demiurge.".

The Demiurge.

Peter remembered hearing about this entity. The Parent, the Creator, of all Elder Gods, even his mother, which made him cringe at the reminder, as he was still contemplating and tackling that revelation.

Out of the blue, a rumbling sound emanated, causing the cell to shake as bits of dust and rock fell. Lucifer snarled as he walked outside, leaving his cousin inside, while giving Peter a "I'll deal with you later" look for a moment. Outside of the cell, to the abrahamic hell lord's outrage, an army of angels emerged from above. Wearing advanced armor and weaponry, the angels have an edge in technology, while the weapons of the unholy, though not as advanced, make up for it with their lethality. The Sin of Pride joined in on the battle.

Meanwhile, in the hellish cell, Peter reflected on what just happened. Albeit so much had happened. First, his mother turned out to be an Elder Goddess that disguised herself as a human and married his father, Richard. Second, Thor turned out to be one of his many half siblings. And third, the Serpent is one of his cousins?

Honestly, his family, on his mother's side, is very complicated and weird. And he supposed that the Angels are his cousins as well? Peter shook his head. What is he saying? Of course they are his cousins.

Hopefully they don't look like how they were stereotyped, as Angels aren't cuddly and don't have harps. And Peter now suddenly got the feeling that he'll be jinxed somewhat.

Eventually.

But then he heard the sound of thunder.

Was that Thor?

Or is it another weather spiritual being here to the rescue?

He saw the door to his cell break.

Outside revealed a woman wearing armor. Her eyes glowed electric blue, lightning crackled on her hands. Her hair, dark gray like the stormy clouds that brought forth lightning and thunder. Her skin, brown like a Middle Eastern. Peter can tell that she had muscles, despite her femininity.

An Angel.

But Peter got the feeling that this Angel is one of the very important ones.

?: "Got yourself caught again, cousin?".

The angel asked with a hint of annoyance. More so at the fact that Peter can't seem to help himself with getting captured by his enemies.

Peter: "Since that has happened a boatload of times in my life, I obviously say yes. But who are you?".

?: "In my life, like all other angels and the little g gods, I've been called by many names. The one I'm called the most is Uriel. But there'll be another time to explain who I am.".

She, Uriel, unveiled a sword. It's a flaming sword, like how the scriptures described. But Uriel's is different. The flames, like her eyes, are electric blue in color, but also crackled with electricity on the edges of the flames. She raised her sword.

Uriel: "Hold still and don't squirm.".

She sliced the chains, releasing her cousin from her bondage. Uriel then embedded her sword into the manacles on Peter's wrists as they break. Once free, Peter caressed his wrists and let out a sigh. So much had happened. So much indeed.
