God's an Adventurer: Volume I

Chapter 81- Heaven Falls

Michael took a deep breath attempting to regain his faltering energy. It was preposterous that him, one of the most powerful beings in all existence was now on his knees, nearly defeated.

He looked to his sides and noted his brother, Raphael and Uriel both on the ground, completely unconscious. 

"Dear thing, all this commotion just to defend what your father has abandoned, we can put an end to this right now."

A sweet mellow voice spoke from behind as it circled him from behind.

Michael frowned at the sound of the voice but remained still. He didn't want to make any hasty movements, there would come a time to strike but for now he would wait.

A face so familiar leaned towards him so close they were only a few inches apart. The glowing red pupils and dark empty hollow eyes. The sinister dark grin showing his sharp-edged  teeth and his bright white skin. He wore a red and black robe that  reached all the way to the bottom of the ground. Underneath it was a  dark suit giving him an elegant look. 

It was Lucifer's face now that mocked him as Michael struggled to contain his anger.

"Now now, I can see you're angry little thing but there's no need to be so upset. I'm here to keep track of Creation while...what do you call him, Kami was it? Yes, while Kami is away."

Lucifer retracted back and stood tall over him once more. He casually walked around him once more examining the area around.

"What is it you really want?" spoke Michael with an assertive deep tone.

Lucifer looked back and gave a mischievous smile.

"I  already told you, I'm here to take care of things while he's away. I've  noticed Creation has been...well...let's just say not doing so good, so  in his place, you get me. Is that not just sweet?"

Michael had heard enough.

This creature wanted to replace his father, the Almighty Creator of everything in existence.  He had fought with all his strength, even joined forces with his  brothers to keep this from happening but in the end, their combined  strength was not enough. 

Never  in all of time had he ever matched against someone this powerful. If he  could even compare such strength to any being in the world it would  have to be that of the Creator.

Michael  shook his head at this blasphemous thought. No matter how powerful this  being was there was no strength that could surpass Kami's.

His  angered reached a boiling point as he stood up and barely managed to  move an inch before a force pushed him back down to his knees.

"Tisk, tisk.  If the four of you couldn't take me on, I'm not sure why you think you  can do it by yourself. Little brother certainly didn't make you all that  smart, did he?" mocked the figure in front of him as he gave a little joyful hop.

Michael managed to look towards the throne, in which Kami ruled over all Heaven and saw his fallen brother, Lucifer next to it. His glare returned back to the imposter who was walking around in his appearance.

"It's  really touching when family comes together and joins forces to take  down a bigger threat! It brings a certain warm feeling in  my...umm...heart?"

The imitation Lucifer let out a cough and smiled as he spun around admiring what was around him.

"Ah, this entire place is filled with his essence, it brings back memories..." the voice drifted.

Michael thought he caught a glimpse of a flushing red face before it returned to normal.

"So, little thing, if I may ever so insist, where is he?"
