Chapter 1151 Trigger part 4
"Uriel, calm down." Michael immediately reminded Uriel. But like him, he was also incredibly surprised, "Let's approach this with caution. Can any of you tell where this is coming from?"
The other three Great Seraphs looked at each with serious expressions before shaking their heads, "Everyone, please take your time to feel it. It's incredibly... for the lack of a better term, thin." Michael added and continued, "Raphael, any movement from our fellow Angels? Gabriel, how's the Holy System?"
Gabriel swiped her hands in the air a few times and a translucent screen appeared in front of her. It was the new feature that Kisuke attached to the Holy System for easier monitoring and management after he resolved the bug within their Sacred Gear System.
And while Gabriel was navigating through the information she's being shown, Raphael used his ability to look at other layers of Heaven and took a look at everyone else's reaction, "...There seems to be nothing. I think we're the only ones who felt this strange connec-" "What!?" He was interrupted by Gabriel's startled voice.
"What's wrong?" Michael immediately asked while the other two also turned to her direction.
With a slightly pale face, Gabriel stutteringly says, "...Th-Three billion... About three billion new believers appeared in our system!"
"""!!?""" The other three's hearts sank because this either meant that they gained that amount of believers or there was a huge flaw that suddenly appeared in their system that they don't know if it could have disastrous consequences for the entire Heaven. And with such an exaggerated number, they are leaning toward the latter.
"Confirm where this number is coming from. And while you're at it, please hide this information and we should be the only ones who have access to it." Michael immediately instructed before turning to Raphael and Uriel, "Trace the source of this faith and if no one else could feel it, make sure that no one else figures this out."
As they haven't sorted out all the traitors that managed to not 'Fall', they can't have them get any clue about this potentially fatal flaw, or their enemies will immediately exploit them.
But even after weeks of searching, none of them found the source of the new source of faith or any clue as to where the new believers were coming from. However, the most concerning and horrifying thing about this is that the three billion seemed to not be an error. Now the question that haunts them is where these three billion people are hiding.

Kunou decided that the situation was not right and felt the danger Claire was in. But before she could move, the door they went through opened once again, but this time, in a much more violent manner that shook the entire space near it.
"Sera-neechan!?"
Serafall didn't immediately reply to Kunou and tried to gauge the situation first. A few seconds later, she glanced at Kunou and said, "You guys should leave first. This is a Heaven and Underworld problem."
Kunou was confused but she trusted Serafall and nodded, "Tanis! Let's go!"
Carrying the Arrancars with her Youjutsu, Kunou immediately left Hell. Tanis half finished her sealing spell first before racing towards the door, but before she left, she turned to Serafall and asked, "Is Claire going to be fine?"
Serafall winked at her and smiled, "With me around? I won't let something bad happen to her."
Tanis sighed in relief and soon followed Kunou.
Serafall's smile instantly disappeared and her attention then turned to the bug that was trying to hide its presence, "You too. This is something you shouldn't see if you don't want your research into Magic stall and become a mess because of the wrong assumptions."
[But it doesn't hurt to record everything for lat-] The voice from the bug couldn't finish as it instantly turned into a block of ice before crumbling into innumerable pieces.
After that, Serafall looked at the scorched Shinigami, already regenerating himself and getting out of his seals. Serafall released her Demonic Power and without holding back, she froze the old Shinigami in a coffin of ice, 'He shouldn't be able to move for a few hours.'
Finally, Serafall flew in Claire's direction and initiated a communication line to Kisuke. Only a split second later, Serafall felt her connection established, "Ki-tan, I might not be able to take care of this alone. This is way bigger deal than I expected." Despite the confident look she gave Tanis earlier, she was very nervous right now.
[I'm looking through the news right now. It seems that the entirety of Vatican City was bathed with Holy Power. How about Claire? What exactly happened to her?]
"She probably triggered something and right now, she's transforming into an Angel."
[...] Kisuke was silent for a second before saying, [I'm teleporting to your side. Please make sure that she doesn't die.]
"I'm on it." Serafall was able to focus on monitoring Claire's state because her opponent had stopped attacking. While she's thankful, she didn't understand what's on his mind.
Serafall finally reached Claire's side and started containing the berserk energy rampaging inside Claire's body. And while at it, she asked, "Not going to use this chance to attack?"
The muscular Shinigami shook his head, "I already lost."
"Lost? But you're currently an immortal. How could you lose?"
"...No. In the face of that power, my immortality is meaningless."
"Then all the more reason to use this chance to attack, no?" Beside Serafall, a Magic Circle appeared, and soon a man in Western formal clothing and a plain mask appeared.
However, the muscular Shinigami was not perturbed by this and just shrugged his shoulders, "Why should I? She's my ticket to my long-lost wish."
The Shinigami then turned around and started walking in the direction where they came from, "I don't know what happened, but make sure that she survives. And tell her that I look forward to our next clash." With a Flash Step, the Shinigami disappeared from their sight.
"It's interesting that enough Holy Power is enough to kill them, but I guess we should focus on Claire right now." After ensuring no one was watching them anymore, Kisuke dispelled his disguise and started studying Claire's situation in earnest.
As of right now, half of Claire's Devil wings have transformed into pure white Angel wings and the Halo on top of her head was shining ever brighter. Although it should be a beautiful scene, it couldn't be further from that as Claire right now was bleeding all over her body and new wounds were opening each passing second. The only silver lining is that Claire had already lost her consciousness from the excruciating torture.
"This is bad. The Holy Power in her body is rapidly overtaking her Demonic Power and it's only speeding up." Serafall muttered while pouring her own Demonic Power into Claire to slow down this process. However, this was only further destroying Claire's body.
"I'll perform the Reversal. Please focus on healing her. We don't know exactly what's going on so we can only hope for Claire to take back control for now."
"Do you think Ophis-chan, Lilith-chan, and Flanna-chan could help?"
"The fact that they are not here right now answers that question." Kisuke took a deep breath and sighed, "It'll be hard for Claire, but I have to wake her up."
