Michael looks down watching everything occur in the world as he turns to Metatron " We need to get rid of your promise Metatron " " I know he blew a trumpet and he wasn't actively trying to trick people he must've his own gain from blowing it "

Michael could tell how much Karma's actions affected Metatron " The Count always seems to have an ulterior motive all the time so I'll go down and force him to fight " the third trumpet sounds .

Wormwood fell and the cities now dubbed the Marked cities closed off any freshwater supplies as they quickly turned to prior filtration devices ' Did boss want to use this thing as a bargaining chip ? '

Jane wonders how Karma would make use of it as Karma walks to where wormwood fell ' It's a plant although in the form of a star ' he assumes it's a type of herb as one of the herbs was said to be very bitter and the size of the star in front of him might mean the overdose of a herb .

He reaches out as a sword touches his neck but not close enough to bleed him " I'm sure I'm not doing anything illegal " " I know the gimmicks you use to accomplish the condition of ignorance Count "

Karma sighs " I got caught already , even though you would eventually find out how " Karma turns to see six other angels as he eyes Remiel more closely than the rest " Oh I see that's what you plan to do "

He looks at the angels " Terminate Metatron's promise or we will destroy the Marked cities personally " Karma looks at them with a sigh " I guess I'll have to defend it one way or another huh ? "

Karma looks at Wormwood still intending to stay " Alright you got me I'll tell my military to prepare for the angel's assault " Karma looks at them as they place a great shield on him which he can't carry before departing .

" Hey you know there are four kinds of ways for sins and merits to transfer , the crucifixion of the messiah which is salvation to take all the sins of everyone and receiving the merit for carrying the sins , The scapegoat when Azazel was forced into the body of a goat and forced to received the sins by the will of the people while the less recorded ones , Giving credit to someone a perfect transfer of merit and then the forceful claim of merit the damnation "

They wonder why Karma said that but ignore him as he snickers viciously , the angels see it as a way to strike fear ' Looks like I'll be able to complete it ' he could feel the chains of the shield they gave him .

" Wow this shield is dense " he wonders if he could replicate this dense merit somehow for his benefit and calls Jane " I'll never get used to your more futuristic portal " Karma told Jane .

" Boss are you just stuck there ? " "Yeah they condensed the very light material merit so much I don't have the strength to lift myself up " Jane looks at Wormwood taking a sample to study " It's the same kind of wormwood I know of but a different variant "

" Can you make use of it ? " " Yeah this wormwood may as well be a bunch of herbs inside one big block " Jane pushes the water away to keep the wormwood from completely dissolving " Should I move this or something ? It's super dense and heavy "

" No just grab a few samples , Study them while I try to create a copy for it " Jane wonders if this wormwood star was one of the things Karma can use his bloodline ability on " Alright I'll send the data for you to read "

" Good " ' it's almost Moirai's first birthday , although it's strange to do that if he was conscious for a while during his conception ' he could tell very well that he can't think of a good gift .

" Giving the boy some property sounds like I'm some terrible parent thinking he's an adult but he already has the graduate level academic grade "

Karma decided to put it aside " I'll just say that my gift is a world where he can grow without the big worries like the end of it " he compares this kind of gift to the birthday cake that a parent would use as a gift for their child's birthday party .
