It is time

"If he's not one of our brethren then who is he? Perhaps Father decided to take a wank in the overvoid, and created him by accident?"

"You will not disrespect our Father, Samael!!"

The man replied angrily, as his massive wings burst out of his back and slashed towards Lucifer's throat like blades.

*SLASH!*

The blades on the edge of the feathers seemed to cut through space itself, as it stopped a mere inch before Lucifer's throat.

"Easy brother.."

Lucifer raised his hands in surrender, while a small smile formed on the face of the soldier of God.

"Oh Luci, you're so right. It's this easy. I could just rip your throat apart and, you'll be back in Hell where you belong.."

Amenadiel smiled, as the blade pressed against Lucifer's throat, ready to send him back to Hell.

"I must say, threatening me with blades is a bit melodramatic, even for you. What happened to family dinners and heartfelt discussions?"

Having the heart to joke at such a time, Lucifer smiled and took a sip from the glass in his hand, ignoring the cut the blade made against his throat.

"Ughhhh!!"

Angered by Lucifer's complacency, Amenadiel instantly grabbed him by the collar, extended his wings and blasted out of the building through the roof at speeds untraceable to the naked eye.

"Men. Always doing what they want.."

Staring the massive hole in the roof of the penthouse, Mazikeen took a sip of the glass of wine in hand and then pulled out a small drawer beneath the counter.

With a wicked smile on her face, she began pulling out several weirdly shaped knives and blades, and arranging them on the counter.

••

*BOOOM!!*

Meanwhile, a figure blasted through the skies at sonic speed, his hands firmly choking on a struggling figure in his grasp, whose hair kept ruffling in the wind.

After reaching a point where the city below was just a mere speck, Amenadiel grabbed Lucifer, clenched his fist and sent it crashing into Lucifer's face, hurling the devil into the distance with enough force to shatter an island.

*BANG!*

Like a meteor, Lucifer smashed into a busy highway, sending shockwaves through the solid tarred roads, which instantly sent the rushing vehicles into disarray which nearly caused accidents.

Arising from the massive crater in the road with his teeth clenched in fury, Lucifer instantly blasted into the skies at full speed. Before any of the humans could grasp what was truly going on, he disappeared in but a moment.

"Hahaha. Took you long enough Luci. You see I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Please make it worth my while."

"Oh, Amenadiel, patience is a virtue, isn't it? Well, prepare for a show that will make your wait seem like a fleeting moment. This battle will be worth more than you bargained for."

Lucifer chuckled, as he straightened his collar and fixed his cuffs.

*SWOOOSH!*

*BOOM!*

Without wasting time, both of them instantly blasted towards each other, shattering the sonic barrier in mere seconds, and clashed with their fists, sending a tremor that shook the Earth, along with a massive wave of divine energy, amidst the booming of thunder and lightning.

Both of them were hurled back after the collision, however, Lucifer was thrown even further compared to Amenadiel, however he recovered almost instantly and stabilized himself in the air.

"Let's take this battle somewhere else, brother. We wouldn't want to accidentally destroy dear ol' Dad's precious Earth."

Lucifer smiled and then waved his hand, tearing a hole through space as if it were paper, opening a gateway to a pocket dimension to which he swiftly entered, as Amenadiel followed.

As both of them landed on the dry barren ground, their eyes still remained fixated on each other, as if both of them just couldn't wait to tear out each other's throats.

"You stand no chance against me, Luci. I, the firstborn, the soldier of God, am the strongest of all angels. To think I could've done this a whole lot sooner."

Amenadiel laughed, as massive and outright infinite divine energy erupted from his body with a pure dark gold colour, sending tremors through space, causing the pocket dimension to become unstable.

"Strength alone won't save you, Amenadiel. You may be the firstborn, but I've embraced parts of myself you fear. This battle will reveal that power isn't always about birthright."

Lucifer spoke, as pure red Hell flames erupted from his body, turning parts of his skin red, as his human face instantly disappeared, replaced by a monstrous and devilish red face with bloody irises.

As he completed his transformation, several flaming swords materialized behind him, created from hell flames and divine energy.

*ARGHHHH!*

*BOOOM!*

Without hesitation, the two angelic brothers rushed towards each other and clashed once more, as divine energy rippled across the fabric of space and time.

••

*CRACK?*

*BOOOM!*

Meanwhile, in her home in LA, Detective Chloe Decker who had fallen asleep on her work desk, surrounded by multiple books and newspapers suddenly awoke, as her eyes fluttered open in a moment, in response to the booming thunder.

"Mummy.."

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she saw her daughter, Trixie, rushing towards her in tears.

"What's wrong sweetie, scared of the thunder?"

She embraced her and kissed her forehead, as the little girl nodded and dried her tears, nestling against her mother's embrace.

••••

Meanwhile, at the very top of the Headquarters of the Aurelian Consortium, a figure stood with his hands in his pockets, unbothered by the raging winds and the cosmic thunder and lightning.

His red irises seemed to glare into space time itself, while the images of two figures battling with all their might reflected on them.

The next moment, a figure in an all black suit suddenly walked out of the shadows with a file in hand. His expression filled with reverence, as he looked towards the glorious figure watching the intense battle happening in another realm with a calculating expression.

"My king ..."

The man in the suit bowed in worship, as Gilgamesh, the figure in the receipt of said worship merely turned his head to the side.

"Speak now, Adramalech. What is so important to distract me at such a moment."

His words calm and composed, his voice like flowing waters, and his gait oozing confidence and charisma that made the man unable to look him in the eyes.

"My King. This humble one sincerely apologizes for the distraction, however I thought it important to deliver this news as soon as possible.

It is afterall concerning the treasure."

The man spoke, as Gilgamesh turned around with furrowed brows.

"My King, it would seem, the treasure is with humans."

The man spoke, as Gilgamesh's eyes widened for a moment.

"Hahahaha! Hahaha!.."

The next second, he erupted in a fierce unbridled laugh, amidst the booming of thunder and the streaks of lightning.

"How amusing it all is..

Even after nailing you to a cross for their own ego and pleasure, you still continue to cherish these mongrels.

Hiding the very power meant to destroy them in their own grasp, hoping to deceive me for eternity."

He laughed in between his words, realising how ridiculous everything was at the moment. The very treasure he sought to make the impossible possible and to finally fulfil his purpose was placed in the grasp of the very creatures he so wanted to annihilate, the irony of it all.

"You have done well, this time, Adramalech. You may choose any treasure you seek from my treasury.

He waved his hand in dismissal and then turned around to continue to observe the battle between the two celestials.

"Thank you very much my King! This one shall continue to serve your magnificence for all eternity!!"

The man bowed while tears flowed down his cheeks. None of his brothers and sisters had been granted the miraculous opportunity to choose from the King's treasury. To him, it was more than having the treasure, it depicted greatness, status, and the ability to rise above all his brethren.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Gilgamesh took in a deep breath, as the infinite divine energy within his body stirred and bubbled.

The moment he opened his eyes, divine energy rippled out in all directions, as the rain instantly fell from the sky, in response to his sudden outburst. It was as if nature itself sought to welcome the king of Heroes.

"EA!!!"

Stretching out his right hand, his palm tore through space and reality, shattering dimensions, as time seemed to slow to a crawl.

The next moment, a weapon in the likeness of a sword materialised in his hand. The sheer pressure the weapon imposed, seemed to cause space time to bend unnaturally.

While it possessed a long golden hilt a golden handguard, it was nearly the same length as a longsword. However, the section that should contain a blade deviated from the normal form of an edged weapon. The "blade" itself and the tip of the sword, spun in a spiral shape, and are dull, with a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform lettering that spin slowly in an alternating direction like querns, the middle segment spinning clockwise and the top and bottom segments spinning counterclockwise.

Channeling his potent divine energy into the weapon, the cuneiform lettering lit up in a bright red colour, as the cylindrical blade began to spin rapidly.

*BOOOOOM!"

"It is time!"

Raising the blade to the sky with a wicked smile on his face, a massive red pillar of energy erupted, with power to annihilate everything in its path, along with raging winds that seemed to slash through space itself.

••••

Within the pocket dimension, a bloodied Lucifer and Amenadiel now engaged in a physical brawl suddenly halted in shock, as they turned around only to witness, a ferocious beam of red light with world destroying power sweep across the stars with incredible might.

"What in Father's name is that thing?"

Amenadiel asked, before looking towards a confused Lucifer.

A/N: Hey guys, we're six chapters in, and I must say, I'm not really getting any feedback for the book. Perhaps I'm wasting my time on it and should focus on other stuff right?
