Krul and the other three witnessed all of this happening; except for Luke, the perceptions of the other three were completely overturned.
During this journey through memories, they learned of the existence of Paradise and "God," and witnessed with their own eyes the downfall of the angels on Earth.
Looking at the burning Progenitor, Mika felt a pang of heartache, but quickly shook his head to suppress the emotion; no matter what the Progenitor was like before, he was undoubtedly an enemy now.
Yuichiro also felt a sense of compassion for the Progenitor.
Krul said to Mika.
"Let's speed up the process; he can't just keep spontaneously combusting like this forever."
Mika nodded in agreement, then sketched a Cursed Formation to accelerate the memory... everything vanished, and the Progenitor was left alone in this world, his entire body burning in agony.
The Progenitor stared at the clear sky, thinking it would be nice if it rained.
"Is this pain destined to last forever?"
Thousands of years passed like this, and the Progenitor remained numb for millennia; his faith in God was also incinerated by the raging flames.
He raised his burning hand and pointed toward the sun.
"God, I hate You! Argh!"
Another ten thousand years passed in such a state, where he could neither live nor die.
The Progenitor was now able to move freely despite the pain of the burning, but he had lost everything; what could he do? Burning with the Karmic Fire, he couldn't even manage to bury Amon.
The Progenitor came to the Angel Cemetery, kneeling to pray and atone to everyone; only in this way... One day, the Progenitor sat blankly by the graves of Paimon and Bael.
How much time had passed since then? At first, the Progenitor began to hate God, then he sought atonement from everyone, and finally, he gave up thinking about anything and admitted his sins.
And when he admitted his sins, something incredible happened.
"Darkness."
Two black rings appeared with a wave of the Progenitor's finger; he had learned to utilize the punishment inflicted upon himself, transforming it into Dark Energy.
"Protect me from the harm of light."
The two black rings enlarged and moved toward the Progenitor; first, the Karmic Fire was extinguished, and then the Progenitor's skin and hair regenerated.
Although his appearance was restored, something seemed missing from the Progenitor's eyes, which had become cold and piercing.
It was faith; from then on, the Progenitor no longer believed in God, only in himself.
The Progenitor no longer felt pain.
After removing the punishment for the Progenitor, the black rings did not disappear; instead, they merged and condensed into Black Orb Yuu.
"Yuu, did you see everything?"
Black Orb Yuu shook its body, as if nodding.
The Progenitor checked himself and immediately erected a grave for Amon after recovering.
Then he erected graves for every angel who died in the Divine Punishment, and the Angel Cemetery suddenly became crowded.
He said to Yuu.
"I want to resurrect everyone. It failed last time, so this time it must be handled more properly."
The Progenitor looked at the sun, his eyes filled with loathing and hatred.
"However, the Tower of Babylon has collapsed, and I have become an immortal who cannot touch light. How do you think we should collect enough power to resurrect everyone?"
Black Orb Yuu grew several sizes larger, then spat out a coffin from its body; it was Angel Mika's coffin.
The Progenitor felt the power within Angel Mika and nodded.
"You succeeded. Enough light to resurrect everyone has transformed into seven keys existing within Mikael's body... but he is dead; he must be revived as an angel."
The Progenitor stroked Angel Mika's face through the transparent crystal.
How to revive him?
The Progenitor thought of something, chuckled, and said to Black Orb Yuu.
"We shall also imitate God's methods; just as angels collect light, we will create Cursed Dolls to collect darkness."
Mika realized something and looked at Luke and Krul.
Krul frowned.
"This is likely the reason for the emergence of Vampires..."
Arriving at the open space beside the cemetery, the Progenitor injected Dark Energy into Black Orb Yuu; soon, a six or seven-year-old boy was spat out by Black Orb Yuu.
"Aaaaaah!"
Yuichiro started screaming, pointing at the first human boy who was spat out.
"Isn't that me?! Is this the original me?"
At this moment, Luke acted profoundly mysterious, extending his right hand and wagging his index finger.
"No, no, no, too naive."
Mika felt puzzled and asked.
"Do you know something?"
"Not telling you."
"I can't tell which one is Yuu anymore!"
The first child created looked exactly like Yuichiro and learned to speak as soon as he woke up.
"Wow, where is this? It's so spacious."
Then another child was spat out.
Mika looked at that child, somewhat puzzled.
"It's a girl; it couldn't be me, could it?"
But he was overthinking; soon, more and more children were spat out by Black Orb Yuu, both boys and girls.
Mika suddenly thought of something.
"Isn't this violating a taboo?"
The Progenitor looked at the calm sky and smiled bitterly.
"Sure enough, only creating angels violates the taboo; creating humans does not."
Krul thought for a moment and answered Mika's question.
"I guess creating angels is the prerogative of that so-called God; He's probably afraid of being replaced."
Yuichiro was dissatisfied with this.
"How stingy of that God. If I had the power, I'd definitely give Him a good beating!"
Luke threw cold water on him.
"Talk to me again after you can beat me."
The Progenitor looked at the hundreds of human children and felt some emotion.
"Fleeting lives, pathetic yet strong. Yuu, create them as greedy existences, for the sake of survival."
After saying that, the Progenitor glanced at the Angel Cemetery again, thinking of something.
"I will not give up on you."
Dark Energy surged, and the crosses in the cemetery lit up; the souls cursed by Paradise were pulled back from hell by the Progenitor and injected into the newly created humans.
However, what the Progenitor didn't notice was that a child had somehow run into the cemetery and arrived beside Angel Mika's coffin.
"So beautiful. Were you the one speaking just now?"
This was the first child created who looked like Yuichiro; hearing someone speak, he had come looking for the source of the sound.
The Progenitor didn't notice, but Krul and the others did.
"Ah, your name is Mika. Why are you sleeping?"
Mika and Yuichiro were somewhat surprised; this child was actually talking to Angel Mika's corpse!
"What does 'died' mean? Do you have to just lie there forever? Then I don't want that. Mmhmm, mmhmm..."
This scene was more than just eerie; they could only hear the child continuing to chat with Angel Mika.
"What is your wish? Oh, your soul entering my body to help Father? Okay, I'll help you."
After the child finished speaking, he leaned back slightly, and his previously dull eyes gained a spark of life.
Suddenly, Yuichiro knelt down, his movements and expression identical to those of the child.
"Yuu, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Mika was a bit worried.
Yuichiro didn't move, only murmuring.
"I understand everything now. I am... Mikael."
