Established Pinnacle: The Enigma

It all did not make sense. And he had a feeling that, it was either Fredrick was responsible, or maybe Su Han. Or it could be that he truly was a descendent of this so called powerful family that made ties with the angels.

But regardless, meeting up with Su Han and Fredrick was a must. Unfortunately, as he is, he was too weak to go down as an angel. If he did, some gods might kidnap him.

Let alone gods, even some mortals might attack him. He knew how twisted the mentality of humans could get, so he was not willing to risk it at the moment.

"We are here." The angel spoke as they finally arrived before a large gate that stretched out for light years on end, both height and width, making Xavier seem very small.

"....."

And small, he did feel. It was not from a literal point of view only, as he felt small even figuratively. He felt very small through and through.

Before the gigantic gates, that oozed out monstrous essence of pure holiness and sacredness, stood two gigantic statues too large to be comprehended by mere mortal minds.

And Xavier was such a mortal mind. These two statues that were made out of something that resembled golden-yellow metal, were so tall, he could only see up to the toes!!

The toes. And even that, was probably still thousands of miles large!!

"Come. Let us go deeper into the Sanctuary. Heaven is behind the doors." The angel said after a moment of silence, which was an attempt attempt let Xavier take in everything he was seeing for the first time.

"....."

Xavier was still stupefied. Not even gods or dragons could claim to be this tall and large. As expected of a higher, illusory Realm above even gods themselves.

"....."

The angel did not say anything else and just floated forward, forcing Xavier to follow even if he did not want to. If he did not, how was he going to enter?

As they reached the gigantic gates of Heaven, a wave of golden light flashes by, right past them, making Xavier feel like he had just been thoroughly cleaned of his sins.

Then moments later, the gates suddenly opened with a few mechanical clicking sounds from behind. And as large as it was, one could imagine how slow the process was.

But contradictory to that, the process was far from being slow in the slightest. In fact, when the gates of Heaven slid across the ground, they did not even product a single sound.

"....."

That was what Xavier thought at the moment, but then again, taking into consideration the fact that Heaven's ground floor was just a sea of golden, fluffy clouds, that was a given.

"Let us go." The angel whispered lightly as it flew through the gap between the currently opening doors, which was quite vast, taking into mind the size of the doors themselves.

"....."

In stupor, Xavier followed behind the angel as if he had nowhere else to go. And he truthfully had nowhere else to go, as this place was new and foreign to him.

As they passed through the gates, Xavier found himself floating in the skies of an endlessly spreading golden city of pure paradise.

From as far as his sight could see, there was golden and greenery everywhere, a literal paradise for mankind, as even the water within the fountains resembled milk.

In some fountains, it resemble honey, and in some, it resembled the clearest transparent water he had ever laid his eyes upon in his entire life since his birth.

That was not all.

The structure of this place was beyond beautiful. The streets were slined perfectly, as each distract was different from the other, yet not complicated enough.

There were stalls, angels giving out, yes, not selling but giving out food, pieces of clothing, equipment and the likes to other angels that had any interest in them.

There was no haggling, no arguments, just angels with their simple and beautiful countenances being kind and compassionate with each other.

There was true peace and tranquility in this area. Something Xavier always thought of achieving with his best friend, yet were not powerful enough to even try.

"This is..." In stupor, he called out as everything was laid bare to him. Everything being beautiful and amazing, like a dream came true.

"Heaven. Your new home." The angel responded as such, not taking into consideration the feelings and emotions Xavier was currently feeling right now.

Both beings flew towards the City-like environment of angels and transparent golden souls of different races. Xavier guessed that these were followers of Heaven.

"They are lost, stranded souls who did not believe in Heaven, or our Lord, yet were still kind and compassionate enough. They were accepted here in Heaven without hate." The angel said, as if it saw through Xavier's expression.

"That so? Then you would accept sbyone kind and compassionate in Heaven, even if they never believed in your existence?" Xavier inquired as they flew past a stall.

He stared at a red ripe apple, one so fresh it seemed out of this world. It tickled his taste buds, and he really wanted wanted taste the delicacies of Heaven.

"Hehehe, don't be shy young one, take, take as many as you like!!! But don't forget to have a heart big enough to share with others." An angel that resembled a women, with s descent chest, said as she winked at him with a beautiful smile.

Xavier realized that the Angels also seemed to have genders, and it was only him and this fellow besides him, who were between both genders.

"Thank you. One is enough." He smiled back at the angel as he spoke, causing her to slightly blush at his smile. He then affirmed that angels also have feelings.

"There are genders amongst us, yes, that is true." The angel that came with him spoke, once again felt if I could read his mind, then elaborated, "But that is something that was not there long time ago."

"Oh?" Xavier took a bite off the apple that he was given, and truthfully, it's taste was beyond anything he had ever eaten. It tasted like an apple, yet like a cake, then at times, like a river of his favorite sweet drink gushing into his mouth.

It was Heavenly.

The angel ignored him and continued flying towards a certain direction, explaining more of its words, "Long ago, we were nothing but genderless and emotionless spirits of light and pure holiness.

"But once time passed by, and we became weaker and weaker, where interactions with mortals was possible, we became soft and ended up... like this.

"Feelings. We had feelings for starters, then came the other things such as physical differentiation, our own goals, our own mentality and the likes.

"That is why there are fallen angels within thus world nowadays. Some angels, had too much temptations, they ended up succumbing to their feelings and falling.

"And it was all because of the mortals." The angel said, as Xavier had finished eating the apple, and now had something resembling a peach in his hands.

"Why do you sound like you are not happy about all of this?" He asked, as he took a deep bite into the new fruit, and once again, fell in love with the fruits of Heaven.

"I am not. But our lord and savior saw no reason to revert us back to who we once were, so I see no fault as well." The angel replied as such, as they reached a building that resembled an advanced sci-fi computer room.

Especially with all the machines, the holograms and the cyber-like constructs floating here and there. It was like a place built within the future.

"I understand his thought process, whoever that lord and savior is. I would also prefer to rule over people with their own free will, than a bunch of robots." Xavier replied as such, already on his third fruit.

"....."

The angel did not respond and only just ordered the mechanical lifeforms within the room. The next thing, the room began to glow in blue as the holograms Aldo followed suit.

Then the next moment later, a magic circle appeared at the center of the building which likewise glowed in blue. The characters on the magic circle swimming joyfully with the holy power supplied to it.

"Let us go." The angel said, and took a step into the magic circle. Xavier, though impressed by the advanced level of magic the angels have reached, still followed after.

Soon, the characters on the magic circle lit up so bright, they became the only source of light within the place. Then seconds later, the light receded and the two were no longer there.

The two beings then found themselves appearing within a completely white, vast room. There were angels in white everywhere, singing and praying.

And all of them, were praying towards a single direction, towards a single entity; a gigantic femine figure covered in boundless holy light, so intense that she's seemed to be the very Embodiment of Holiness itself.
