Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

*Awake and Alive - Skillet *

"Ten guards each…" Raven muttered weakly, her golden eyes seemed somewhat dimmer. "And some that reach the level of Star Five Hundred…"

"Yes, I\'ve already mentioned this, are you deaf?!" The angel in front of her laughed once more.

Raven held her head between her gloved hands and tried her best to regain her strength as she focused back on her situation.

*Sigh*

"Tell me," she said after a deep sigh. "What rank are the Seraphim at, do you know?"

"Oh, you mean my Lady…" he seemed to be deep in thought once more. But this time he only slowly shook his head. "It doesn\'t matter. My Lady is the supreme, I follow her command!"

"That wasn\'t my question…" Raven sounded disappointed. But she wasn\'t that disheartened, this idiot has been answering in a chaotic way since the start, but she had learned from him too many secrets! 

"Enough!" The angel seemed angry this time. "I have answered all of your questions, now it\'s time for me to \'have some fun\' with you, are you ready?!"

"Oh, um… wait, I am not ready!" Raven quickly raised her hands to stop him once more.

"Ugh, what is it this time… oh wait, Lady Uriel said that I have to rough with you, I remember! She said that you\'re used to it and I-"

"No, wait!" Raven shouted, interrupting him. "It\'s the last question, I promise!"

"Ugh, what is it?" The angel asked with a growl.

"My question is… out of everyone, your idiot lady sent you, a brainless fool?" Raven seemed to be genuinely confused as she slowly asked. "Does she underestimate me too much, or did she send you here to mislead me? Is the information you\'ve given me accurate?

"... But then again, you have the strength to shatter my head within a few parts of a second, so… your Lady is underestimating me, like for real? 

"Well, isn\'t that sweet…" she seemed rather amused.

This time, the angel heard his supreme Lady being called an idiot in front of him, so he quickly lost whatever little rationality he had and jumped at Raven with a pose that indicated that he\'s going to smash her face in one blow!

Raven could not even see his move for how fast it was. However, before the extremely destructive punch landed, a crimson aura surrounded Raven, protecting her body and soul.

As the punch landed on Raven\'s figure… nothing happened.

"Huh?" The angel seemed to be extremely confused. But before he could even think about what happened, a few dark chains surrounded him as he was quickly restrained. Even his mouth was tightly shut.

Over his forehead, a crimson dragon eye tattoo was left ghostly. It all happened so quickly that Raven seemed to be watching a dream; it\'s difficult to think that this is reality!

\'Why is everyone so damn strong and I\'m so damn weak?\' she couldn\'t help but complain internally before looking at the crimson dragon eye tattoo.

"A forced contract, huh…" Raven appreciated the swiftness of Tu\'s move as she wondered out loud. She clearly recognized Tu\'s move. "You\'re indeed as powerful as you say you are…"

"Only because he\'s extremely weak," Tu answered as he slowly pulled the restrained angel towards a crimson portal that had appeared in front of Raven at some unknown moment. "If it was that strong Star Five Hundred guard, I would have had to display my body in order to subdue it. It would have made a mess!"

*Sigh*

"Because he\'s extremely weak, you say… But isn\'t he a damn Star One Hundred Twenty…" Raven repeated with a weak sigh. "And you can subdue a \'Star Five Hundred whatever\' ranked angel guard?"

She was just a Star Three… Is she defined as an ant in front of such titans? Or is she even at the level of a single-celled organism? 

Tu felt embarrassed for what he said earlier and didn\'t reply to her question. It\'s not that he didn\'t want to, it\'s just that he didn\'t know what to say. 

*Sigh*

"Life isn\'t fair…" she complained with a sigh once again. "By the way, I\'m assuming you know what rank the Seraphim are at?"

"Uhm, I may know..." Tu nodded slowly. He wasn\'t sure whether he wanted to share what he knew or save Raven the headache.

"Oh, and?" Raven raised her eyebrows as she saw him getting rather suspiciously quiet. "Can you perhaps share?"

"They… they are above Star Nine Hundred…" Tu hesitated before answering in what seemed to be a whisper.

Raven suddenly lost the colour on her face as blood stopped circulating. Although she was hiding behind a mask, her golden eyes visibly shook.

"Star... Nine... Hundred…" a faint whisper escaped her lips involuntarily. As she finished, her mouth was subconsciously left slightly open as if she was in deep shock.

Despite that, Tu still felt a slight relief that he hadn\'t explained just how powerful their level was. After all, the Seraphim were the most elite of angels that have lived for countless years.

In some of the Solar Systems he\'s been to, Tu was sure that some Seraphim were above the level of Star One Thousand!

At that point, they would be the heirs of the Supreme Deity of that particular Solar System and would be treated and trained in the best conditions so that their strength may rise even further...

A few minutes later, Raven regained her rational thoughts and slowly closed her open mouth behind the mask. However, a grave expression filled her face. "Tu, be completely honest, can we win? If not, I\'ll order everyone to evacuate, f*ck fighting! The dead can\'t fight!"

*Sigh*

"To be honest, I myself didn\'t expect that the angels would have such a powerful force, it seems that this Solar System is not an easy one, and the fate of planet Earth may not be optimistic…" Tu said seriously, after some thought.. "With my current strength, I may be able to kill many of the angels, including some of the Seraphim, if I act stealthily that is."
