Even Lucia’s expression changed Mutsuki alone could not follow what was being said
Metatron will be activated within thirty minutes of the present time
However he could tell Ange was declaring war on FeTUS
Our target is your headquarters and any resistance would be futile If you wish to live then run away
The angel turned her back and Mutsuki prepared to call out to stop her
Now now Ange You know you can’t give advance warning of divine punishment
But another familiar voice spoke first The boy gasped as four angels landed between him and Ange
Three were red-winged female angels he had never seen before but his eyes naturally focused on the angelic young man he did recognize
What is going on Rapha What is thisMetatron
A tremor filled the boy’s voice because he could tell this was serious Rapha only gave his usual gentle and somewhat cold smile and did not answer
A moment later Machina turned around and ran toward the school
The balance between humans and angels had been desperately held together before but Mutsuki could clearly sense that it had fallen apart
She did not respond
She let go of the umbrella she had brought Before the handle could even clatter to the ground the five angels took flight
At the very last moment he felt like he saw her blue eyes looking back at him over her shoulder
Utterly dumbfounded he turned to Lucia for help
What was that What is going on
Even Lucia’s behavior told him something was wrong Normally he would have smoothed things over with some kind of joke about them being alone together but his expression remained tense
They’re using Metatron on a single human organization The angels must really feel cornered
What is that What is Metatron
The demon boy was the only one he could rely on so he grabbed his shoulders and shook him He dropped the umbrella so the pouring rain pelted their heads
Lucia looked up and seemed unsure what to say for a while
Simply put it’s a gigantic bomb the angels use
A bomb H-how big
I don’t know It varies from case to case
He brushed up the wet bangs plastered to his forehead
It was used to destroy the Tower of Babel and to wipe out Sodom and Gomorrah It also sunk the island of Atlantis and the continent known as Mu Including Agneya and the Arrows of Indra about 90% of the world’s phenomena that symbolize god’s wrath were caused by Metatron On the upper end it could sink a continent That was an unimaginable scale
The humans of FeTUS would certainly have the upper hand in a direct battle with angels but what if a great calamity was used before the battle even began
Angels demons and humans Three organizations held each other in check around Fujita Mutsuki
The stalemate had been growing more stable but now it had utterly collapsed
Adolescent Adam 4 Chapter 5 - Clash of Heaven Earth and Hell
FeTUS headquarters a facility containing modern man’s greatest technology was located two thousand meters below Megutono Academy’s hill
It was defended by the Witches heirs of all the knowledge passed down through the centuries
Currently Miss A C D and E were gathered there
After returning to the headquarters Machina aka Miss E succinctly passed on her information while running to the core room located at the deepest part of FeTUS headquarters
It was a large hall-like space filled with darkness It was too large to see the walls or ceiling
She could just barely see the giant rabbit doll sitting in the center
A young girl sat on the large clock it held Standing next to it was Miss C aka Schwarze aka
Katsue Subaru and Miss D the school’s PE teacher named Daima Makoto
Miss E is what you said true The fairy tales about Metatron were true
Miss C walked impatiently over
Machina silently nodded and looked to the girl sitting on the large clock
The adorable girl appeared to be about six and her long blonde hair was tied to the left and right
She wore an elegant deep red dress and a hat sat on her head She looked like a perfectly normal little girl with somewhat classical tastes However
This information comes from Jiyuuni Ange Given her personality the odds of it being a bluff are low I believe Metatron will target this place within twenty-six minutes
Machina and the other two looked up to the little girl for instructions
So we are not permitted to defy heaven are we
The girl FeTUS Witches Miss A sighed with the exhaustion of six hundred years filling her young face
We must use our full power Use all FeTUS equipment Prepare all Springloaded for activation We will utilize all of the knowledge available to us to defend this place from the coming judgment
The three witches received their command and turned around
Their student uniform or teacher’s suit transformed into a black liquid and changed form Miss C’s removed all waste to allow for easier movement Miss D’s became a stylish apron and frilly dress made from the mysterious black substance Machina’s resembled Schwarze’s as it became a skintight suit with even less waste in its design
It fully covered her from the tips of her toes to her shoulders and its provocative design revealed the ample curves of her body including her slender legs her plump butt and her large breasts that jutted out in an egg shape However it was also specialized for functionality Each of their outfits was made of an ultra-light material with the greatest heat resistance and shock absorption capabilities mankind could create
They allowed the FeTUS Witches to make the most of their combat abilities
They left the dimly-lit hall and entered a hallway with red blue and green tiles covering the floor
It continued beyond the horizon and the walls were lined with countless doors
As soon as they left the door vanished into the darkness behind them
I will take the vanguard You two protect this place
Machina made her calm suggestion and both Miss C and D nodded
A single panel on the floor floated up to carry the girl to the school two thousand meters above
On the first floor of the clock tower in the center of Megutono Academy nineteen minutes remained until divine punishment would arrive according to Jiyuuni Ange’s announcement
That ultimate angelic weapon had destroyed many arrogant people during the history of mankind
It was the destroying fire of Metatron
The only records of its use were mere legends so modern man had no way of knowing what exactly it was They only knew it was probably something like a bomb with incredible heat
Machina took a deep breath as she waited for that attack to arrive
FeTUS had long searched for a countermeasure against the angels so they did have means of opposing even that legendary ultimate weapon
Seventy-eight layers of insulating devices were set up from here to the headquarters two thousand meters below and they could endure any explosion on the surface even one from a hydrogen bomb that split the island nation in two Angels were meant to protect humans so they would not make such an indiscriminate attack
If they were going to do this
Oh
After a slight sound the top of the clock tower was vaporized
Machina stood in the center of the first floor but she had a clear view of the sky now that over half the tower was gone Falling raindrops and the unpleasant odor of melting bricks surrounded her So you are here to greet us Why thank you
She had heard this male voice earlier
She looked into the sky and saw the young man angel that Fujita Mutsuki had called Rapha as well as three female angels descending with cruel smiles on their lips
This was it The ultimate weapon would be detonated belowground not on the surface And a unit of angels would attack to carry it down there
So if they could be kept out their divine punishment would end in failure This was the one method left to the humans of FeTUS who were puny beings when compared to angels and demons
