Negotiations Failed…

Among heaven's forces, the seven archangels are widely recognized as the strongest.

Though the 7 sins and the 72 dukes are said to be their fated adversaries, it is widely known that they are not quite their equals in power.

This is why the true ultimate adversaries of heaven could be said to be Samael himself; and the reason why their eventual battle against him is so highly prophesied.

However, should anything… unfortunate happen, there is one final force Lucifer must overturn.

If the Lightbringer should ever find a way to break into heaven to claim his father's seat, the Ophanim are responsible for subduing him in a final battle.

And unlike his estranged siblings, the guardians are certainly powerful enough that they do not require a struggle to subdue him.

Though as to how exactly that was possible… Asherah wasn't exactly forthcoming with the details.

No matter how much she was asked.

Abaddon: "Please!"
