"Wait I'm getting what now?"I stammered while staring at the pope.
"I said we don't have any more need for you, so we are kicking you out." He replied.
My name is Tsukiko Kage. I was the church's strongest hero, but after the church exiled me I became the fallen hero.
The year of 2001, a catastrophic event had fallen to earth. A bunch of portals from hell opened up and let loose a lot of devils, demons, and other mythological beings who wreaked havoc on earth by killing every human on sight.
The humans didn't know what was happening because humans couldn't see them. The only thing they saw was the humans getting mutilated one by one.
But by the grace of god, all humans awaken abilities to see and fight off them. Some humans don't realize that they have awakened abilities until the church recruits them.
I was the exception. I was born with my abilities, and in the church, they called me the offspring of god.
Ever since I have known myself, I have grown up in the church because I'm an orphan.
In the year 1996, when I was a baby, the church took me in after my mother left me at their door and fled, or so I thought.
Now, in the year 2025, after finishing taking out some idiot in China, the pope called me into his chambers.
"What do you mean by you're kicking me out?" I uttered.
"We don't have any more use for you, so we're kicking you out," he muttered.
"What do you mean by you don't have any more use for me? I'm the strongest hero who wields the strongest holy swords, the strongest abilities, the skills, and all of the angelic spells.
You can't do this to me!" I yelled.
"I devoted my life as a hero to kill every demon, devil, and mythological being in sight. Why are you doing this to me?!"
"Wait, does Archangel Michael know you guys are doing this to me?!" I asked.
He smirked, "Yes, he does because he was the one who orchestrated this."
I gasped, "What do you mean by that!?"
He chuckled.
"Answer me!" I yelled.
He sighed, "You know what? I'm going to be frank with you because it won't make a difference if you know or don't."
"Ever since you found out that God no longer exists, you have become an enemy of the church." He laughed.
"But I'm not the only one who knows about that, so why are they kicking me out because of it?!" I shouted.
"I don't need to answer any more of your questions. Pack your things and get out! You're lucky that we didn't kill you."
"You can't do this to me I'm the wielder of the three strongest holy swords: holy sword Durandal, holy sword Excalibur, and holy sword Caliburn!" I screamed.
He chuckled, "Oh, that's not a problem because we made exact replicas of all your holy swords."
"No, that can't be possible, how?!"
He smirked, "It's simple for our new alchemist to create them."
I laughed, "New alchemist, huh? Even if you can create a lot of them, no one will be able to wield them. I'm the only true wielder of them, and no one else can wield them." I continued to laugh.
He smirked, "It looks like you're as stupid as Archangel Raphael said you are."
"What do you mean by that, Pope John?!"
"Do you remember all those tests we did on you and how much blood and DNA we extracted from you?" He asked.
"Yes, but why does that matter now?"
"We're going to put your genes into other people so they can use the holy sword too and use all of the angelic spells too. As we said earlier, we don't want you anymore, so go away now!" He laughed.
"I dedicated my whole life just to serve the church and Archangel Michael, and now, after you guys used me, you're throwing me away like I'm nothing!" I shouted.
"Ok, I am going to leave now, but remember this; this won't be the last you will see of me. Mark my word!"
I took my belongings and exited the church.
"I can't believe I devoted my life as a hero to protect mankind from devils, demons, and all of the mythological beings," I mumbled to myself.
"I'm the only one who kept Belphegor, devil kings, and the rest of the mythological beings in check and told them if you ever enter earth again, I will kill them like how I killed that prideful bastard Lucifer."
"You know what, I'm going to kill all who betrayed me just you wait, Michael." I thought to myself.
A few months after I got exiled from the church, I entered hell and had a talk with the 6 devil kings because out of all the mythological beings, they are the most ruthless and they don't have ties to the church at all.
As the moment I stepped into their palace and approached them, all of them started screaming and bowing down to me.
"Please don't kill us! We did as you said we should. None of us entered Earth at all!" Belphegor screamed.
Every single time I came here, they all acted this way for no reason.
I sighed, "Relax, I'm not here to kill you or warn you. I'm here to join you guys."
All of them got up and looked at me, confused.
"Wait, what?! You're kidding, right?!" Satan shouted.
If Iweres kiddin,g I would have summoned Durandal or blown a hole in the wall already.
I sighed, "No, I'm not. I was exiled from the church and now I want to join you guys." I responded.
Belphegor got up and approached me, then patted me on my back.
Belphegor smirked, "You can't fool us, I know Michael sent you to kill us or spy on us."
Wow, he's brave to do that to me... Wait Spy on you? Do you think I'm some underline to spy on you guys?
I sighed, "No, he didn't. He was the one who exiled me."
He laughed, "Very funny, Tsukiko. Why would Michael exile the strongest hero?"
Funny? Do I look like a comedian to you?
"Does it look like I'm laughing?" I asked with a humourless tone.
I'm not the type of person to lie when I'm having a sincere conversation.
"N-n-n-n-n-n-n-no, sir." He stuttered then went back to his seat.
"He used me, and now he is copying my holy swords and making replicas of them."
"Now I know you're lying. Even if Michael makes a replica of your holy swords, only you can use them." He uttered.
"Did they forget that the reason why human has grace is because they have a part of god's DNA?" I wondered.
I sighed, "That's where you're wrong they're going to implant my genes into other people so that they can use it."
"Wait, what?!" They shouted.
All of the devil kings started trembling because if they alone can't take me down, how are they going to take down a bunch of people with my genes?
"So if you don't want to lose your pathetic life, let me join you. If not, well it's your funeral."
"Can you give us a moment Tsukiko?" Belphegor asked.
"Sure."
They drew closer to each other and started discussing letting me join them.
"So, guys, do you think he's lying?" Belphegor asked.
No, I'm not. Michaell actually exiled me.
"I don't think so. Normally, he would kill like a hundred of our troops just for fun before talking to us but he didn't." Asmodeus replied.
Hey! I only did that twice and that was when I was 15 and 18! And it was their fault!
"That's true. The last time he came here, he blew up the frontline troop just to say to us: Remember, don't come to earth." Satan replied.
I was 18 and they were the ones who attacked me first!
"But do you really believe that Michael exiled him?" Mammon asked.
"I'm not a hundred percent sure." Beelzebub chimed in.
Why aren't you 100 percent sure? Do you think I would lie about that?
"But if it is true that Michael exiled him, it will be great for us to have him as an ally and not as an enemy," Satan muttered.
That's the whole point of my coming here: to be your ally.
"Guys remember what he did to Lucifer?" Mammon asked.
All of them vomited synchronously.
"How can we forget. He cut Lucifer into pieces with Durandal, and that's the weakest sword he wields." Satan shouted.
Technically,y Durandal isn't the weakest because I also have access to other weak holyswords, but whatever. And the only reason why I mutalate him is because he spat on me.
"Yeah, do you guys remember what he did to the original front lines?" Asmodeus asked.
"He used an angelic spell and wiped out 200,000 of our strongest troops." Mammon muttered.
That was a basic church spell that I amp up with my grace. If I used an angelic spell, I would've destroyed your whole territory.
"If you guys don't want to die like that I think we should let him join us," Belphegor uttered.
"Ok, Tsukiko, are you sure you want to join us? We are your enemies." He asked.
"No, you're not. You were my enemies because the church told me you were my enemies, but now I'm doing what I want to do." I replied.
"Ok, but remember, if you join us, we are not going to stop fighting against the church and the angels too."
"I don't care what you want to do to them. I don't have a family, and the people whom I considered family exiled me." I muttered.
"If we make you join us you have to teach us and our troops how to reflect angelic spells like the church troops?"
"Sure and I can even teach you how to counter them with techniques I developed using reverse grace."
"Wait what? You have reverse grace? How?"
"Technically I don't. But when I multiply grace by itself, it turns into reverse grace. I can show you how to do it too."
"Ok, from today, you will be an apprentice for Asmodeus. Is that ok with you?"
"Why are you making me work for the weakest.....?"
Belphegor came at me and whispered something to me.
"Shh, Tsukiko, the reason why I'm putting you to work with her is because she's in charge of troops and I want you to help her train them."
He really wanted me to help her train the troops? Why is she training their troops in the first place?.
"So why don't one of the stronger devil kings, train the troops?" I asked.
"Because after someone killed Lucifer, she begged me to put her in charge of training the troops."
Did he really believe that I would believe that lie?
"I know you're lying; you told her to do it because you're too lazy to do it."
Belphegor looked at me as when a kid who got caught lying to their parents.
"Anyway, please help her with the troops training."
"Ok fine. I will, but if I see that she's doing a terrible job; I'm taking over the troops training, got it?"
"Yeah, I understand."
"Asmodeus, are you ok working with Tsukiko?" He asked.
"Yeah, he's hot, so I'm ok with it, and I might try to seduce him."
"What did you just say, you scum?" I asked.
"Asmodeus, are you an idiot Remember, if you piss him off, he can kill you in an instant!" He shouted.
"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Geez can't I have fun once in a while?"
"Ok, Tsukiko, are you sure you're ok with being my apprentice after hearing what I just said?" She asked.
"I mean, you're the worst, but at least I'm not stuck with Leviathan."
"He just cracked a joke, I didn't know you could crack a joke. I only thought you could only crack skulls." He chuckled nervously.
"Anyways don't mind Belphegor. Let's go, Tsukiko. I will show you where you will be staying." Asmodeus muttered.
