I'm The Devil - Chapter 216

Chapter 216: The Great Flood 3

The Watchers began their descent, their forms cutting through the storm clouds with silent menace. Azazel led the charge, his dark wings spread wide, his eyes fixed on the distant City of Darkness. Behind him, the other Watchers followed, their corrupted souls bound by a shared hunger for destruction.

In the City of Darkness, Lucifer, Michael, Lilith, Fang Hua, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Sariel, Remiel, and Raguel stood together, their eyes locked on the horizon. The sky above them churned with the gathering storm, the dark clouds roiling like a boiling cauldron. Lightning forked across the sky, illuminating the scene with brief, blinding flashes.

The air grew thick with tension as the Watchers drew closer. The wind picked up, howling through the ruins and sending dust and debris swirling around the gathered defenders. Yet, none of them sought shelter. The impending storm posed no threat to them; they knew this was merely a part of the grander design, a prelude to the battle that would determine the fate of all creation.

Lucifer broke the tense silence with a sardonic grin. “It seems our guests are on their way,” he remarked, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. “We should prepare a fitting welcome.”

Michael’s expression remained grim but resolute. “This will not be an easy battle. Azazel and his followers are powerful, and they have nothing to lose.”

Lilith stepped forward, her eyes blazing with determination. “You’ve faced something worse than this before or so I’ve heard and this time you have me on your side. We will stand together, as we always have.”

Fang Hua, poised and serene, nodded in agreement. “Our strength lies in our unity. We cannot afford to falter now.”

The gathered angels and their allies drew strength from each other’s presence. Each one had a role to play in the coming conflict, and they knew that their combined might was the world’s best hope against the impending darkness.

As the Watchers flew closer, the sky around them crackled with dark energy. The clouds thickened, forming a nearly impenetrable shroud that blotted out the last vestiges of daylight. The first fat droplets of rain began to fall, splattering against the ground with a heavy finality. The rain soon became a torrent, sheets of water cascading from the heavens, drenching the landscape and blurring the outlines of the ruins.

Despite the deluge, the defenders stood steadfast. The storm posed no threat to them; it was merely a prelude to the greater conflict they knew was coming. The floodwaters would rise, the world would be cleansed, and in the aftermath, they would face the true challenge.

Lightning continued to streak across the sky, each flash accompanied by a deafening crack of thunder that seemed to reverberate through their very bones. The ground trembled slightly under their feet, a reminder of the immense power being unleashed above.

The sky, now a roiling mass of black and gray, seemed to close in around them, the weight of the impending storm pressing down from all sides. The clouds swirled and twisted, forming ominous shapes that flickered in and out of existence with each lightning flash. The air was thick with the smell of ozone and the tang of rain, a sensory overload that heightened their awareness.

Lucifer turned to Michael, his expression a mix of determination and defiance. “We’ve been through hell and back, brother. Whatever comes next, we face it together.”

Michael nodded, his eyes reflecting the storm clouds above. “Together, then. For the sake of all creation.”

The storm’s intensity grew, the wind howling through the ruins of the city. The lightning flashed more frequently now, casting eerie shadows across the faces of the defenders. Despite the chaos around them, they stood firm, their collective strength a beacon of hope in the encroaching darkness.

As the Watchers drew closer, the tension reached its peak. The defenders knew that the moment of reckoning was at hand. They steeled themselves for the battle to come, their eyes locked on the horizon where the dark forms of the Watchers could now be seen, cutting through the storm with relentless purpose.

As the Watchers descended upon the City of Darkness, their dark forms cutting through the tumultuous storm, a sense of anticipation hung heavy in the air. Azazel led the charge, his wings spread wide, his eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. Behind him, the other Watchers followed in silent menace, their corrupted souls pulsating with a shared hunger for destruction.

In the heart of the city, Lucifer, Michael, Lilith, Fang Hua, Gabriel, Uriel, Raphael, Sariel, Remiel, and Raguel stood poised for battle. Their eyes remained fixed on the horizon, where the approaching storm and the ominous silhouettes of the Watchers heralded the coming conflict.

Lucifer glanced at Michael, a wry smile playing on his lips. “Looks like our guests are fashionably late,” he quipped, his tone laced with sarcasm.

Michael’s expression remained stern, but a hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. “They always did have a flair for the dramatic,” he replied, his voice tinged with irony.

Lilith exchanged a knowing look with Fang Hua, her lips curling into a smirk. “I suppose we should be grateful for the extra time to prepare,” she remarked, her tone light despite the gravity of the situation.

Fang Hua nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with mischief. “Indeed. A little more time to sharpen our claws,” she added, a playful glint in her eye.

With their resolve strengthened by their camaraderie, the defenders braced themselves for the coming battle. The storm raged around them, but they remained steadfast, their determination unwavering in the face of the encroaching darkness.
