Chapter 160: For The Sake Of Creation

They all came when I asked them to. Imagine that. Even the Angels, though the way to Heaven was forever closed to them, my failure to restore their path to glory, the realm on the far side lost though not with me as far as I knew. That did nothing to keep them from assembling with the rest.

I guess the fact I even tried, that I let them see how big and effort I made, was the difference. I did wonder, however, if Peter's loss was not the giant blow to our relationship I was expecting or if the Angels had some heretofore unrevealed deception hidden up their mail-clad sleeves.

Not that it showed on the outside, to my surprise. If anything, Gabriel and Michael both seemed less antagonistic and more willing to listen, the other Pantheon leaders settling into their seats without argument.
