At the edge of the universe, where Aiden held the barrier against Kethseia's forces, another being suddenly appeared.
He materialized in the void beside the angels, his six wings spread wide, glowing with divine light.
This was Asahel.
The half-angel, half-god son of Lilith and the former Demon King.
He placed his hands against the barrier and released his divine energy, adding his strength to the angels who were already struggling to hold the line.
Asahel tilted his head to the side and looked at the massive dragon form of Aiden, who was pouring everything he had into countering Kethseia's assault.
Then he turned back to the barrier and focused his power.
Both he and his mother were in violation of Aiden's rule. They were forbidden from interacting with any living being in the Seventh Universe.
And they had almost connived against their Jailer until the last minute.
