Chapter 2. The Modern Earth

The hooded man walked out of the former forest that was now only a black, bottomless hole. He was wearing no clothes or shoes and his hood was made of feathers.

Indeed this man was Phanuel. A few hours ago he was floating in the void when he heard a voice. It was a androgynous voice, electronic even. It asked him if he wanted to leave. Phanuel didn't know if it was the devil, Lucifer or any other Divine Being that went against God. But he knew that if he didn't grasp that last straw he just got, he'd never get out.

So he replied, "Get me out of this place. I don't care if you're the devil, Lucifer, or any other outer god but as long as I can kill that fucker I don't care."

After that a blinding light blasted into the Void and Phanuel was sucked in. The next moment he was in the (former) forest, floating above the bottomless hole. He then levitated over to land and started scouting around.

He knew that it was better to do it on foot as even before he was exiled to the Void, Lower as well as Higher Level Divine Beings hardly ever made an appearance in the mortal world. This was to ensure that Divine Beings seemed like creatures out of reach of mortals, making them seem great, supernatural and fanatical to the being they served.

If it was the time when he was still an Angel he could've sensed how dense the Spirituality of Believers was, he could've made his way to the local church and ascended. But now that he had fallen, he had no access to such benefits.

But when one door closes, another door opens. The Universe was fair with all its creations. The Divine Beings had different species to counter one another. Angels have Demons, Spirits have Devils, Fire Has Water, Chaos has Order, Creation has Destruction, Life Has Death and Void is Null.

Like the name suggests, The Void is a place with nothing in it. There is no life or death. There, you cannot live while at the same time you cannot die. But, there are two conditions to survive there. One has to either have been banished by a Divine Monarch or one has to become a fallen.

A Fallen is a being that abandons it's original Divinity and accepts the Void in its Divinity. All of creation is fair and all creation came from the Void. The Void created Order And Chaos and both personified themselves into their respective law forms.

The Law Creatures then created their subservient life forms under them. Divine Monarchs are the Divine Beings that have a portion of the Laws of Order and Chaos as well as the Law of their respective race in themselves. The reason why non Fallen beings can survive in the void is if Divine Monarchs either banish or give them their blessing.

This will allow the Void Law in their Order or Chaos law to safely enter the being's body while at the same time not increase in such a amount that while there is enought Void Law to protect a being in The Void, there not enough Void Law for it to take over the being's other laws

The Fallen can survive in the Void as they are creatures that have the laws of the Void in them. But this is a double edged sword. While a Fallen may be able to survive in the Void it can only be a Fallen and nothing else. Even if a Order being falls into Chaos or vice versa they'll be taken as their race by their respective Law Creatures but the Void has no such beings.

The Fallen only have themselves and other Fallen as their kin. They are shunned by both Law and Chaos and have no place in the world.

Phanuel walked out of the forest and the void in him to disguise himself. But the sight that he saw next shocked him out of his wits. Buildings as high as mountains stabbed into the sky, large pieces of metal flew in the sky as blocks of metal rolled on circular pieces of black material.

He floated above the streets as he looked down at the city below. "Just how much time has passed....?" Phanuel thought with reminisce.

"I need to know what has happened over these years and quick the restraints are getting closer each moment" Phanuel mumbled with a slight frown on his face as he moved towards the tallest building he could see.

Once he looked inside the building and saw an old man at a birch table with a few other people talking about something.

He flashed inside the building while remaining disguised as he used his power to peer into his brain, reading all electronic signals representing memories and language.

"It has been quite the long time...is she still alive I wonder…" thought Phanuel as he moved towards the leader of the country's office.

"So this place is called London, names sure have changed over the years. Ah, found it Buckingham Palace is it?" Phanuel thought, as he avoided all the guards getting into the private garden of Queen Elizabeth.

(AN: DO NOT EVER DO THIS)

As he approached the garden, he could feel the wind blowing against his long hair, the sky blue with clouds flying around and flowers and leaves swaying along the wind.

"I want to see you again...." he thought, as he stood in the corner waiting for the queen to finish playing with her Corgis.

When she sat down on the swing he stood beside her and said in a low voice, "Hello, Queen Elizabeth The II Of The United Kingdom."

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH", shrieked the queen as she saw a man who was wearing a feathered hood standing beside the swing she was on. She fell down the swing moving into the corner as the Corgis growled at Phanuel.

"Wh-who-Who a-are y-you‽‽" asked the Queen

"Now now calm down will you. You do not need to know who I am. I am here to ask a favor of you." he said calmly as he peered at the sky and the flying birds.

"G-ge-get away f-from me you, don't you know who I am I-I-I yam the ku-kuween of the United Kyingdum, you trespasser" said the Queen with red eyes and a stuttering voice.

"I know that and I don't care about it, if I wanted to take your life I could've done it a long time ago, now hear me out." said Phanuel in a calm voice.

Queen Elizabeth thought that was true so she took a few deep breaths and asked, "What do you need from me?"

"I need a proper legal identity. Something that'll allow me to travel freely while at the same time allow me to abandon it of I ever needed to."

"Oka-"

"That and a ton of money, a few tens of millions or so."

"Okay, but why?"

"You do not need to know why, just do as I tell you and your life will be saved. I'll need it within 2 days." said Phanuel as he disappeared.

"Holy shit that dude was scary as hell, I'll need to do that quick." exclaimed the queen as she quickly disappeared inside the palace.

Phanuel had been flying around London all this time, finding clothing shops to secretly take clothes. He wore them on top of a skyscraper and started going around beating up thugs, to get some money. He then took the money to a supermarket and bought some food which'd supply his body energy to use his powers.

"Ugh if I still was an angel I'd have no need to eat mortal food....", mumbled Phanuel as he bit into some fish and chips "Not gonna lie they're pretty good, need some more salt though."

After eating Phanuel felt sleepy as his semi-mortal body needed to conserve energy the best it could. He quickly booked a hotel and slept soundly all night.

At the site where Phanuel reemerged:

"Teams A1 to K4 quickly scan and secure the perimeter, do not get in close contact with the site, radiation levels are high but confined in the site so keep a safe distance"

"Launch the drones and rovers, quick we'll need to keep this under wraps."

The site was at an all time high of activity and people were running around everywhere. At the tent spread up to keep high profile people from the night many executive's and higher ups from the military were discussing what to do, outside a general was watching over the operation when his assistant asked him, "Sir, what do you think happened here?"

"I don't know what happened here but what I do know is that whoever or whatever did this is not something that we can handle."
