Alastor was shocked and didn't want to believe it but it was obvious, God truly stood between him and his goal. Anger boiled inside Alastor and frustration topped it as Alastor could see and hear but nothing was moving, Nothing including his arms, legs or lips moved and he could see the tongues of flames frozen and unmoving. "Now before things go too far, -'Angel floated off Alastor's back and the Eldritch sludge sloughed off as Alastor felt the connection severed'- Ugh, Crude but somewhat effective. Sadly that would only heal his physical form." God said as a bed had raised before him and Angel was placed upon it "Michael, Why did you try to put his soul to rest? I said to watch over what would happen at the gates." The arch-angel Micheal stepped forward "I saw a soul choosing to fall to sin and knew they would become a demon. Every year at this time the Cleanse is performed to prevent overcrowding so the reasonable thing to do was to put the soul to rest."

God sighed softly while looking over Angel "What are the virtues I've had you working on?" God asked while a holy glow slowly started to cover Angel's body. Michael looked like a child that had been caught with their hand in the cookie jar, "Patience and Acceptance. I was -" God was holding up a finger and Michael fell silent with his head lowered. "You don't always need to take action and you don't need to earn my approval, You can watch and see my plan on its own." God said and Angel seemed to be immersed into a bath of luminous liquid. "Fear not, Alastor, My word was given to Angel that he could return."

Michael and Azrael both tried to move now but were held in place "Yes, I also know that you didn't know that. I want you all to learn for yourselves to trust in the words I speak. Not interpret or decipher, Trust in that I know you and that I've said all that was needed. -'God turned towards Alastor'- Have you calmed yourself now?" Alastor glared but restrained himself. "Then I believe that you are the one that he would want to see when he awakens. Take the bed and let him rest, Once the wound in his soul is restored he should awaken."

God waved a hand as if using a squeegee and the flames billowing forth inside the hall vanished along with the lava, blood, feathers and body parts, The arch-angels and angels were healed and their limbs restored while the hall itself slowly was restored to it's pristine condition. "How long will he sleep?" Alastor asked as his form shrank down and he stood over Angel laying wrapped in his blanket, God sighed while a genuinely sad sounding voice had come from Alastor "This is not something that I've done or allowed before. I would've let him rest if my word hadn't been given -'God turns to the arch-angels and then back to Alastor'- The wound was fatal and done with the power of my arch-angels there are few that would survive until I arrived. Fewer still that may recover, This is now up the strength of Anth- -'Alastor glared at God'- Haha, very well. The strength of Angel's soul."

Alastor nodded with full belief in Angel's ability to wake and he begrudgingly spoke "For saving Angel, I T-thank you." God let out a happy laugh and softly patted Alastor on the shoulder. "Now to straighten out this mess." God said while facing the broken gates and the platform of sludge. God stepped through into Hell after Alastor while floating above the platform Lucifer roared out "NO!!! STOP! GETTING! IN! MY! WAY!" Lucifer's body creaked and groaned as he fought to free himself while Lilith looked on with surprise as an arch-angel flew from a grey colored formation nearby.

"Welcome to Hell, I would guess that the lesson didn't go as hoped?" The arch-angel said as then lowered their head and God shook their head "Sadly. Still a bit impulsive but there is improvement -'God looked at Lucifer'- You weren't satisfied with Babylonia and still attempting to conquer Heaven? -'Lucifer sneered and tried to say more but was silenced and frozen'- Thank you for watching over Sheol, Maalik or should I say 'Devil' -'God laughs lightly'- If only they understood you better. Oh well, Is it still not sleeping?" Maalik shook his head "It's completely silent and just flails about in anger mostly, I believe this is due to the demons bonding with Sheol and absorbing part of it or being absorbed by it."
