Chapter 161:

"Heaven" On Earth!

Project: INFERNO


(After all of Class X was summoned for an emergency meeting, Goxius was scanning for Gaito's presence instead of the negative force but could not sense for his power.)
"Goxius: I've searched everywhere in endless dimensions too, Gaito is nowhere to be found..."
"Sawano: I can't stop feeling this negative energy... Where the hell is it even coming from..?!"
"Onara: ...No luck, even my void can't track the presence."
"Choryrth: Everyone, its unfortunate to say but... This negative presence, is the work of a threat far beyond the Primordial threat level. In shorter words, Class S and below cannot fight this threat."
"Ares: How bad is this?!"
"Choryrth: Very. Since we cannot track Gaito, we have to summon an emergency lockdown. Class SS and SSS are currently trying to locate the source of the negative energy. As we speak, we have Chimon Hato of Class SS currently at the scene right now."
(Meanwhile as Class X was currently in the emergency meeting, Chimon was leading with Class SS into the area where the negative aura is located and enters a church just above the Magachi Village in Hakodate. As they entered the church, they hear organ music playing inside the sanctuary. After entering, they see the spotlight on Nathanial playing the organ.)
"Nathanial: Does thou wish to pray to the God as well?"
"Chimon: Stand down, its Nathanial.. Nathanial, I know you've sensed the negative energy as well. We was sent here to investigate."
"Nathanial: Negative energy? Yes yes, I've sensed it too. Regardless of Class X's ability to not fight unless the order is given, it does not say Class X can assist with the discovery."
"Vanguard Wind (Class SS): Any luck on finding the source?"
"Nathanial: I have two leads, lead number one is... This."

(After playing one key on the organ, the spotlights was then shined on a fake corpse of Gaito Magachi on the cross as the corpse was given the blood eagle execution with its lungs stretched onto the cross's arms which then frightened several of the Class SS heroes until Vanguard Wind then notices the negative energy right behind him as he was frightened, knowing that Nathanial was the source of the horrific aura.)

"And lead number two.."
(As Vanguard Wind turned around, he was then palmed in the chest by Nathanial which rockets Vanguard right through the church then was gripped by the ankle then was dragged in the ocean by a Nathanial clone as he was being pulled directly to the ocean floor to drown to death as the original Nathanial revealed his eight black wings and halo, revealing his archangel form.)
"Is me."
"Chimon: ...N-NATHANIAL..?!"
"Nathanial: That isn't my name, Nathanial was just a little fib to cover up my real identity.. O' Heavenly Father, please forgive me for such a measly little lie and empower me to begin our project of no mortality, Amen!"
(As Nathanial then prays to God, he was then blasted with a divine ray which gifted him every last ability Gaito was given and had sealed away which quickly forced Chimon to realize, Class X was immediately needed for combat.)
"Chimon: CHORYRTH! ITS NATHANIAL, NATHANIAL IS AN ARCHANGEL!!!"
(As all of Class X overheard, Choryrth quickly stood on his feet with absolute worry.)
"Choryrth: An Archangel...?! DAMN IT...!"
"Zeus: They was all wiped out eons ago, how the hell is Nathanial one?!"
"Nathanial: It is simple my foolish friends. For years, I've kept with the act of "Heaven's Beloved Angel" in order to maintain the respect I needed from you all, Class X, Chair 1 has been my throne for eons... Until that bastard, Gaito ruined everything... Even during the Dimensional Resets, I've plotted my revenge.. and my own father... GOD! Was in on all of it! And now..."
(As the ray vanished, Nathanial was revealed to have four arms, three eyes, Divine God markings and a major increase in power which the tremoring force of Nathanial's power forced Chimon and the rest of Class SS to back away several steps.)

"Michael (Strongest Of The Archangels): May you all rest in hell as I place your souls in eternal suffering and slumber... and my real name, is Michael."
(Before Michael could launch a full scaled attack, Chimon without hesitation activated his beast and grabbed all of Class SS and at frightening speeds, escaped the attack just in time while saving all of the heroes in the church. Chimon takes one look behind him and realizes that half of the city was already in ashes as civilians was screaming and running, alarms was blaring and the public announcement being released.)
"P.A System: WARNING! This is an emergency evacuation warning! All civilians are to escape to the nearest portal center for transport, lockdown will commence in two hours!"
"Chimon: Everyone.. stay here. In all honesty, I can last against him for a while.. Get out of here while you still can and get Class SSS..!"
(They all then listened to Chimon and quickly left as Chimon then gulped as he then says the words Class X was waiting to hear.)
"Choryrth... We need Class X assistance... ASAP."
(All of Class X then stood up and waited for the word as Chimon was then fighting the overpowered Michael to buy time.)
"Choryrth: Sawano. For the time being until we track Gaito, you are Class X, Chair 1. Now, all of Class X... You are ordered this objective: Bring down Nathanial at all costs, his actions will not go unpunished, whatsoever!"
"All: RIGHT!"
"Sawano: Class X, to battle!"
(Meanwhile, Chimon was struggling against the powerful Michael as he caught up to his speed along with Aznea whom is currently active.)

"Aznea(Ring): Chimon, I can't shake him!"
"Chimon: What will happen if you activate 100% of your speed?!"
"Aznea(Ring): I need only one ounce of your blood, it'll give you twenty minutes of my full speed power, is that doable?"
"Chimon: More than enough, drink away Aznea!"
(As Aznea then syphoned Chimon's blood, Chimon's speed then begins to unlock the ability for Chimon to see thirty seconds ahead of time which gave him an advantage to sync his attacks with Michael but was beginning to slow down his attacks due to Michael's time aura which Chimon was then pummeled by a barrage of punches as he then rockets out of the area to escape from Michael's clutches but was then stopped as Chimon's own shadow was stolen.)
"Michael: Why can't you move Chimon? Come on, run as fast as you can!"
"Chimon: D-DAMN.. YOU..!!!"

(Chimon does everything he could to move his body but was completely frozen. Michael then lifts his leg in the air as if he's about to punt him then with such force, kicks Chimon's frozen body into a combusting explosion which then eradicated the entire section of Hakodate and Chimon's charred body was seen flying across the Pacific Ocean from the excessive force. After the heavy hit, Chimon was then crash-landing in Alaska's mountains then collides into one of the mountains which the impact forced Chimon to spit out a hefty amount of blood as the impact then triggered an avalanche down the mountain and traps Chimon inside it. As the avalanche was trampling over skiers, Michael was watching the entire thing with a satisfied smirk on his face then pulls the severely beaten Chimon out of the corpse infested avalanche.)

"Such talent gone to waste. But there is still a chance for you to become one of us, join me and the heavenly father. Your sins will be atoned for as you rid the mortals into something more holy with the two of us Chimon."
(Chimon's injuries suddenly vanished as he then got right back up on his feet.)
"Chimon: My answer is no. (Thinking): I forgot Aznea has fast regeneration speed..."
"Michael: Is that so-"
(Michael was suddenly punched directly in the face by an unknown assailant which the force of the rocketing punch then obliterates the entire row of mountains. As minutes has passed for the debris to cool down, Chimon was then able to see a hero wearing a panther's pelt while wearing a blindfold on his forehead as a bandana.)
"Chimon: Who are you..?"
"Liberty (America's #1 Hero): My name is Liberty, I am America's current Number #1 Hero. You must be Chimon from Japan's rankings, we was informed of the alert, Class S and below cannot handle this situation."
"Chimon: Yes, Nathanial as an Archangel is just... unreal, its like he's being controlled..."
"Michael: On the contrary, Chimon. This is all necessary."
(The debris then clears on Michael's end and reveals half of his head blown apart but instantly repairs itself as if he wasn't affected from the punch.)
"Liberty: It seems like the rumors weren't lies, he was given Gaito's abilities."
"Chimon: HE WAS GIVEN WHAT?!"
"Michael: Do you now understand why defeating me is impossible, do not forget.. Gaito is my brother, everything he mastered, I've now controlled and learned."
"??? (Male): You say you've controlled and learned it, but can you truly master it before Gaito returns from his little trap you put him in?"
"??? (Female): Knowing that you're actually an archangel and even if you used to be Class X, Chair 1, we won't hesitate to beat the hell out of you too."

(Michael then looked around and noticed returning faces such as Idxx and Scyroid staring down the curious Michael. As more footsteps were approaching, Michael turns around to notice Braylon Reynolds and Freedom Knight, wearing American flags as they represented their home. With the sound of more incoming footsteps, out of the debris was the entire Class SSS rank along with Trample Horn smirking as he was leading the charge. As the unsurprised Michael stares down every last opponent challenging him, he then descends to the ground and begins to walk towards them as Chimon and Liberty was set to fight with the backup that has arrived.)

"Michael: It is quite impressive that all of you have come this way to fight me, I appreciate the love you wish to give towards me... Especially knowing that you all are going to die together."
"Trample Horn: You was given respect... TONS OF RESPECT FROM TRAMPLE HORN FOR SUCH POWER! Now you betray home for foolish and selfish benefits...! AS A HERO, THIS-"
"Michael: Will not stand, is that what you've tried to go for? I've heard the hero tricks all before. Lets get this battle started then, shall we?"
"Scyroid: Lets do this!"
"Braylon: No. We must be smart about our battles. If we go all in, we'll increase casualties."
"Trample Horn: I fight first!"
(As the decision was then made, Trample Horn takes several steps forward as Michael spoke.)
"Michael: I've always wondered how you fight, this could be very interesting."

(Trample Horn then roars and storms towards Michael which he suddenly felt the ground quickly draining away his stamina to move as Trample Horn collides his horn with Michael's body as it released explosive energy then launches Michael into the air then was axe-handled directly into the ground. As Michael was about to stand right back on his feet, Trample Horn double stomps directly on Michael's back as his entire spine along with every bone in his torso shattered as half of Alaska was completely obliterated off of the global map. As the massive attack then turns the entire half of the state into cindered ashes and burning fires, Trample Horn then was panting as he realized Michael's injuries was not permanent for they vanished instantly.)

"Michael: Is that all you could do?"
(As Michael's sight was restored, he let down his guard and suffers a connecting punch to the face by a quickly transformed Trample Horn as his trump card was currently active. Michael was then irritated of the games then punches Trample Horn with zero effort in his stomach which forces Trample Horn's trump card to cancel on itself and revert him back to his normal state.)
"Do not test my patience."

(Michael then pushes Trample Horn away with a powerful wind cannon as Idxx and Scyroid fires unlimited rounds of bullets and elemental orbs directly at Michael whom was blocking every attack including plasma rays from Freedom Knight and Braylon. As all of the heroes then begins blasting countless attacks at Michael, his guard was once again open as Chimon and Liberty worked together and lands a direct hit on Michael which his entire chest was split open as Liberty then gripped his beating heart and generates a nuclear amount of elemental energy then combusts the energy into a massive explosion. As the explosion then ended a few moments later, Michael was once again squeaky clean as he was smirking at their foolish attempts.)

"Such weaklings... If no one here can land a decent blow-"
(The wind suddenly delivers a devastating blow to Michael's dropped guard which has Michael holding his own stomach as he tried to recollect the wind he lost. As walking footsteps of pure anger was approaching Michael, he then looked up as it was a shirtless Lotus Kenhiro with both hands behind his back as he awaited for Michael to stand on his feet.)
"Lotus: Its perfectly clear, you're in need of a lesson."
(Michael was then wheezing as he then caught his wind and stood up on his feet.)
"Michael: Of course... Earth's most strongest human alive..."
"Lotus: On your damn feet. Everyone, I'd encourage you to stand back, unless you wish to be colleterial damage."
(As they all heeded Lotus's warning, almost everyone quickly backed away as Michael and Lotus was the only two on the charred battleground. As Michael's ear twitches, Lotus's physical body did not move from his spot but Michael once again was feeling the exact same blows that knocked the wind out of him.)
"Fists Of The Vengeful Raven: BURSTING BEAK!"

(Lotus then shapes his hands into a raven's beak and stabs through Michael's chest which generates a massive gust of wind and blasts Michael's body into mincemeat but suddenly was put back together by Michael's body being completely restored as Lotus then roundhouse kicks Michael's head which rockets Michael out of Alaska and towards the Southern Coast across the ocean. Seconds later, Michael then teleports himself out of mid-air and lands into Canada's territory then notices a hurricane-powered windstorm was approaching Michael as Lotus then indents a powerful punch right into Michael's chest which revealed as another indent on the skin of his back. After the punch connected, Michael was then blasted into Montreal, Canada as civilians in Montreal were already evacuated which brought Michael to confusion for a moment until he was then pinned down by Canada's top heroes as Lotus along with Japan's Class SSS heroes and secondary fighters arrived which also had the other heroes assume they were enemies as one didn't.)

"???: Lotus Kenhiro? Stand down everyone, I'm familiar with these individuals..!"
"Lotus: Gabriel Brook."
"Gabriel Brook (Canada's Number #1 Hero): Lotus and Japan's Class SSS, I see you all was the first attacked. We wish to provide you assistance against this beast."
"Lotus: .... Very well."
"Michael: Your chances in victory... are inevitable."
(Michael then charges enough divine energy to create a combusting explosion which wipes out the entire branch of Canada's Class S heroes as Gabriel Brook was the only Class S hero left standing but kept his focus on Michael. As the remaining heroes kept their eyes on Michael, he then raises one finger and fires a massive beam cannon of the ice element which Trample Horn quickly reactivates his trump card and jumps in front of the blast then stops it with just his horn as he then absorbed the elemental energy and fires it back at Michael.)
"Well, this is quite interesting. However, pointless."

(By a snap of Michael's fingers, the ice beam then vanished from thin air as Gabriel then comes face to face in contact with Michael but was then slashed directly in half but was fooled for a clone as there was over one hundred Gabriel clones as one of the one hundred was gathering enough mental energy to cast an imprisonment domain as the other fighters, heroes and Gabriel's clones was holding off Michael whom was avoiding, blocking and predicting every last attack every fighter would throw at him. As Michael's guard was once again open, Freedom Knight and Braylon then charges a powerful plasma beam which blasts through Michael's body and the plasma begins to paralyze his ability to move or summon any attacks which Idxx and Scyroid took the opportunity to fire an overloading combination of their cores full power which creates another devastating explosion as Freedom Knight creates a powerful vortex to suspend Michael in midair as Gabriel's domain was ready.)

"Freedom Knight: GABRIEL!"
"Gabriel: CAST DOMAIN!"
(As the domain was casted, Michael was then imprisoned inside a domain which revealed nothing but pure darkness inside as impressed everyone on the successful casting.)
"Delusion Cocoon!"
"Trample Horn: Impressive domain..!"
"Gabriel: This is only going to hold him down for five minutes, where is Class X?"
"Lotus: They are on the way."
"Gabriel: We need to get-"
(Time was suddenly stopped as Michael's clone whom appeared to be a ghost whispered in Gabriel's ear then taps his chest once. As time resumed, Gabriel was then mind-controlled into lowering the domain which confuses everyone as Michael was revealed to be controlling Gabriel as if he was a puppet but was then given angelic abilities as he was then turned into one of Michael and God's new creation for a holier civilization.)
"Scyroid: The hell did you do?!"
"Michael: I turned him.. into what we strive to turn civilization."
"Gabriel (Controlled): You must join our heavenly fathers.. For they shall be rid of all mistakes, your sins shall be atoned for.. please join.."
(As a halo was then grown on Gabriel's head, a yellow light begins to glow behind Nathanial and Gabriel as a massive portal opened, revealing over thousands of controlled civilians who are now turned into God's heavenly angels. As all of the standing fighters noticed, Chimon suddenly reactivated his beast as over six thousand arrows of divine energy was beginning to be fired.)

"All: Atone for your sins and join!!"
(As the arrows was fired, Freedom Knight and Chimon quickly acts as a vortex was created and Chimon spins around the party to keep everyone in one place as they all was transported back to Hakodate's ruins.)
"Chimon: What the hell... was that..?!"
"Trample Horn: Divine energy... Too much for Trample Horn to remain immune from."
"Braylon: Its unfortunate to say, but even Class SSS and America's heroes wouldn't be enough. Class X was suppose to be here by now, where the hell are they...?"
"Chimon: I don't know... At this point, I don't think its safe for us to be on the surface."
"Lotus: Come with me, Gaito allowed access to his mansion's lower levels."
(As everyone then regroups and runs towards Gaito's mansion, they all kept and eye out for any incoming Holy Angels. Meanwhile on several different worlds, all of Class X was separated from each other as they all was battling the exact same Michael at the same time.)
"Sawano: Damn it.. Nathanial, snap out of it!"
"Michael: That is not my name, Sawano. But I would like for you to join us, your power is exceptionally useful for the new civilization."
(Sawano then rips off his mask as 100% of his aura heat was released which began to melt the entire area surrounding the two.)
"Sawano: Long day in hell, I'd rather die than ever become a "Holier Angel!"

(Meanwhile, Onara was battling a sword carrying Michael as she now draws her void katana for fair combat, Aimiya was battling an all light elemental Michael, Xinera was battling a Michael with the power from a God of Destruction, Ares was battling a Michael whom carries Lucifer's chaos element, Ankoku was battling a Michael whom was also an Anti-God at the same time as an Archangel and Goxius was battling three Michael's whom each was a master of time, speed and magic. As Chimon and the others then lays low, realizing they are outmatched against thousand upon thousands of Holy Angels, they regroup at the destroyed Magachi Mansion underground as everyone was silent about what they've witnessed.)

"Scyroid: So what can we do now? Clearly, we lack the power to even land a dent on him."
"Idxx: Well, Nathanial may have kept and eye on us so long, he actually may have figured out our attacks and abilities."
"Trample Horn: That pisses me off...!!"
(Trample Horn then throws a table at the wall which then breaks into pieces as he then breathes heavily as he was pissed.)
"Chimon: I used too much out of Aznea, now she's inactive.. But if we didn't get away from Michael the first time, she would've died."
"Freedom Knight: Over six hundred thousand Holy Angels, regardless of me being the former number one, even I can't defeat them."
"Lotus: ....Speak of the devil, there's five hundred above us right now."
(Everyone then looked up to the ceiling and sensed the presence as Lotus was going back up.)
"Chimon: Lotus, where are you going?!"
"Lotus: I'm going back to fight. As a teacher of the Gojai dojo, the Vengeful Raven speaks... I must avenge for my fallen brother."
"Chimon:.... Lotus..."
"Lotus: I will be fine, I've already died once by Knitemare. If I die again, so be it. It just means my time has truly passed."

(Lotus then jumps and vanishes in midair back to the surface after syncing his body with a powerful wind gust. As he then stares down the five hundred Holy Angels, Lotus rips off his shirt as he revealed his buffed torso. Suddenly, controlled strikes of lightning along with water spears was targeting the Holy Angels as all 500 was electrocuted painfully. Lotus then turns around to notice a hero wearing a cybernetic mask which was a thought translator along with cybernetic-like clothing creating a humming sound with every weather-related attack being targeted at the angels. As one Angel was left, the individual then lifts one finger and lights the last angel on fire whom then was liquidated into lava. Lotus then takes another look as the individual vanished.)

"... Who was that...?"
(Back in the lower levels of the mansion, Lotus regrouped and explained what happened to Chimon as Idxx, Scyroid and the others was calming Trample Horn down.)
"Trample Horn: I CANNOT TAKE THIS! DAMN YOU, NATHANAIL!!!"
(Trample Horn then roars and throws a chair at the wall which a loud crack was heard and brought a silence to everyone as they all walked slowly towards the crack in the wall and touched it as a illusion-placed wall was revealing a frozen pod with someone inside it.)
"Scyroid: What is that..?!"
"Braylon: Looks like a humanoid, someone's in there... Wait..."
"Freedom Knight: What's wrong?"
"Braylon: Let me do something real quick."
(Braylon focused for a split second and deactivates the illusion walls which revealed over 30 frozen pod containers with fighters from years ago which brought shocks to everyone, including Chimon for he remembers his former students in the pods.)
"Chimon: What is this...?"
"Idxx: I only have one explanation for this, anyone else has a guess..?"
(Freedom Knight was then reading a list of the captive individuals as each name was given a checkmark right next to it.)
"Freedom Knight: Is this Gaito's imprisonment area..?"
"Idxx: No. This is Gaito's hidden lab, I know this because half of the inventions here was created by my father, Dr. Vaughan."
"Everyone: ...."
