The Virtues Angelic Beings with power rivaling that of the Pantheons. The Virtues are ranked based on their rank. These rank indicates their Power and status. The Angelic Beings were Created by Ran to Protect the Humans and The Gates of Heaven with The exception being the Archangels and Seraphims. The Archangels and Seraphims are also called the Children of God(Aside from Indra,Asura,Humans and Elves). These beings were given complete control and domination over the host of Heaven. The Archangels were Micheal, Gabriel, Raphael, Methatron and Uriel with the Seraphims being Beelzebub,Samael(Lucifer), Mammoth and Satan. Samael was the most beautiful creature to ever be created by Ran. With Beauty as bright as the morning star and Voice as smooth as the flow of a river, Samael was named Morning Star by Raia and his siblings. He was also the voice of Heaven and sung praises to the name of Ran.Samael was one of the few beings that was able to stand in the presence of God and even reach Mount Sina The Light of God. Due to this Samael was deeply loved by his Father(Ran) and was bestowed with the Morning Star power. This allowed Samael to create something out of nothing but he needed his brother Micheal To give form and life to his creation. With this Ran instructed Samael and Michael to Create the known Multiverse. After The Multiverse had been filled with light and such beauty, Ran decided to create another Creature but these one's could balance both good and bad, Possessed absolute will. This was what brought about the creation of the Elves. After Ran had created the Elves, He was extremely happy as these were the first creatures he had created using light aside from fire and this brought about the flaw of the Elves. The Elves did not possess the ability to balance both good and bad. They either became light Elves or dark Elves plus they were subjective to the will of God. This Made Ran very angry and he decided to Create another species that had the qualities that he desired. This brought about the creation of Humans. Beings made from the clay of the Earth. After creating the Humans, for the first time in billions of years Ran Laughed. It was said his laughter almost brought about the destruction and Creation of a new Multiverse. This was because although the Humans were flawed, They possessed a mind of their own, a will, Spirit and they could balance good and Evil. Also the Humans were they only beings that could get close with God due to his love for them. God loved his first creature(Adam) so much that he placed him in the garden of Eden. This was a Space that could withstand the presence of God. After seeing how Adam had become bored and lonely, God decided to create another Creature but this time from the same being. He used Adam's own rib to create another Human and this was Eve(The rib of Adam and also Mother of all Humans). God gave Adam the permission to name the other Creature himself and he Called her Woman as she was created from his rib. After this God mostly spent his time with the Humans and rarely stayed in Heaven. His love for the Humans was so huge that it even caused Jealousy among The Virtues,Pantheons,The Living Order,The Order of Gods,Asura and also Raia. One thing about God's new creation was that they had the power to reproduce and pass their will to their Children just like the other god's (With the exception of the Virtues). Adam and Eve lived in the Garden, Played with God(Ran) and together they named all the animals of the Earth. Although God was Omnipotent and knew everything there was one mistake he had made and that was the Emotions he started to show.This rendered God unable to see the fate of the Humans and their impending Doom. After he had warned them not eat from the tree of Life of Good and Evil, he ignored every other possibility of the Humans disobeying him.
After years of thinking, The god's finally came up with a plan to destroy the Humans for good. They decided to let Samael who was the most Beautiful among all the god's to deceive Eve(as they saw how weak minded she was) to eat from the tree of life of good and Evil. Samael being Jealous that his father had ignored him for those flawed creatures accepted their proposal without thinking of the consequences. Samael entered Eden in the form of a serpent. He was able to convince Eve to Eat from the tree to which Eve did so. After she ate from it she manipulated Adam to also eat it to which he also did same and this brought about the doom of Humans.
After they both ate from the tree, they lost all their divinity and were reduced to mere Mortals. Their body had become flesh and blood and their eyes were open. They gained they knowledge and flow of energy in the universe. After seeing that they were Naked, The cut some leaves and used it as a cloth to hide their body.
Hours later God descended from Heaven but what he saw enraged him. He noticed how they didn't come to embrace him. With a Voice as loud as Thunder God instructed them to appear before him. They appeared before God covered in leaves and shy to even look at him. Adam explained how they were shy to come to him naked and they were deceived by that serpent to eat from the tree. Witnessing how they disobeyed him, He decided to immediately kill them but what happened next made him weep.
Please Father if you would kill anyone then kill me rather and leave Eve. She didn't know what she did and it was also my fault for letting her go and pluck fruits on her own. So father please spare her. Adam Said.
Even In Death you are rather begging for the life of your rib rather than your life. Even Though you disobeyed me you chivalry has saved you and countless Generations. Although you shall loose your divinity and will be unable to see me anymore, No God shall be able to touch or kill you Until your time for you to return to the ground is due. You shall age and die, Become enemies of the animals you named, Tilt the ground till the day you die and serve your wife. And as for you Eve you shall listen to your husband, serve him and suffer in labour. And as for you Serpent you shall move on your belly and eat the dust of the ground for the rest of your life.
Even Though what happened had pained him, Ran had no choice as he could no longer walk with Humans and therefore had to banish them from Eden. Ran Chased them out using the animals they named themselves and sent two Cherubim and a flaming sword to the Garden. These Two Cherubims Guard the entrance to Eden and the Flaming sword changes the direction to the tree of life. With this the fall and birth of Humanity had begun and it all started from two people who loved each other more than anything. It is said that if a Human is able to reach the Tree of Life and eat from it they will regain their original bodies and ascend.
After Ran had returned to Heaven, He ordered the arrest of Samael. Although he was very furious he decided to Banish Samael to the void rather than destroy him. Samael was filled with so much rage as he felt that the People he trusted the most had betrayed,used and turned their backs on him including his own brother (Micheal) and as such the first ever sin was recorded in Heaven. Samael felt that his father had become weak and wasn't the father he used to know and that he could become a better God than he is and as such Samael changed his Name to Lucifer and gathered an army of Cherubims, Seraphims and Hosts to rebel against God (Ran). Since Samael knew how Powerful his father was he decided to seek help from The Great Evil Beast and this brought about the Second Heavenly War. The Great Evil Beast saw Lucifer as an equal and made him his right hand man. With a legion of demons,Angels and the Nemesis of God by his side Lucifer rebelled against Heaven. All this battle took place after the birth of Indra who lead the Forces of Heaven along with his brother at such a young age. This war could have been brought to an end of Ran had decided to step in but rather he just sat there and watch it all unfold. This Battle involved almost all Creation that is god's,Angels,Demi-gods, Nephilims,Humans,Elves and Demons.
Most of the records of the Battle were erased by Methatron (The scribe of Heaven) but it states that the Forces of Evil were successfully defeated and banished to the void.
Micheal and the other Archangels and remaining Seraphims were tasked with Protecting the Soul stone. Therefore Micheal Created the Soul Realm and ruled it with his Brother's. The reason why the stones are so important was that they had the power to break the chains of the Void and this could lead to another Heavenly War which might not end well. Although Michael knew the risks he decided to take his chances because he was bored and he also Noticed Indra's soul in Noct and Yan Jian soul in Sasuke. This made him secured and interested that was his reason for offering to give the soul stone to the winner of the tournament.

Athanir: Is been a very long Time Cain or should I say King of the World.
Cain:It really has been.
Athanir: Who would have thought the first Murderer would become such a kind hearted and great King. You did kill your brother, Go cursed with the Mark of Cain and ate from the tree of life. Am surprised Ran didn't Destroy you back then.
Cain: What do you really want here?
Athanir:Hahaha so smart trying to change the topic. Well am here for that mark of yours.
Cain:You can try.
Athanir: Hahaha not today not today but very soon. Very soon you shall loose everything. Just like how of a vagabond and Murderer you are so will you end be pitiful Cain.
Cain angrily lashes out at Athanir but he is able to resist his 100 times gravity without that much trouble. Cain then throws a fist attack filled with so much pressure that it destroys the entire castle which has been coated with a maximum Rin resistance material(Tethratite). But Athanir casually blocks the attack and leaves the Castle as if nun had happened informing Cain that he should be ready.
At his Pocket Dimension, Athanir started coughing blood indicating that he had taken a severe internal damage from Cain's attack.
Athanir:He isn't the son of the first Human for anything. He was able to Severely wound me even though he was holding back. The Mark of Cain combined with the power from the Fruit of Life really is incredible. I can't wait to devour him.
At the Realm of Souls Hanami and Hermey Battle was about to kick off. This was a Battle that would shock even the Virtues themselves.
