"Let's not waste time. Azazel's ambitions threaten not just the Earth, but all of creation. We need to strategize and prepare for his next move."
Lucifer's smirk faded, his eyes narrowing. "Always the strategist, Michael. But tell me, what makes you think I'll lift a finger to help your precious Heaven now?"
Michael's gaze remained steady. "This isn't just about Heaven, Lucifer. Azazel's ambitions threaten all of existence, including your precious City of Darkness. He seeks to merge the outer dimension with the earthly realm. If he succeeds, your dominion here will be swallowed by chaos."
Lucifer tilted his head, considering Michael's words. "And you think my help will make a difference?"
"Your influence here is strong," Michael replied. "You have allies and resources that we don't. This isn't about Heaven versus Hell; it's about preserving the balance of creation."
