As Michael and Ryoka got up, they remembered the Archheaven's Key. They agreed to retrieve it and searched everywhere in the royal palace. Deep within the lowest part of Hell, they stumbled upon a massive gate covered in ancient seals and rituals.
They opened the gate, but as they tried to reach the key, an angel suddenly stopped them.
The mysterious angel said,"God is calling for you two. You have disrupted the balance of nature."
Michael and Ryoka attempted to take the key by brute force, but the angel cast a teleportation spell and sent them to the entrance of Heaven. As Michael saw his home dimension once again, the angel spoke:
"God has summoned you, Michael. Leave this human and enter the gate. You may expect either a great punishment—or a great applause."
Michael entered the grand gate of Heaven and flew deep into its realm, toward the royal palace. He opened the gates to the palace and saw a great golden throne. God sat upon it, waiting for him.
Michael said,"Why have you summoned me, O Lord?"
God replied,"You have done great damage to the balance of existence. There is no one left in Hell—no devils, no rulers, only sinners. There is no Satan to uphold it. What will you do about this, Michael?"
Michael lowered his head and said,"I am sorry, my Lord. Vengeance got the better of me. Maybe Ryoka can become the new King of Hell—he has inherited Satan's body."
God answered,"A human cannot be a mindless devil. He cannot withstand the pressure Hell places upon its ruler."
Michael remained silent, thinking of what to do.
God then spoke again,"Go to Archheaven and meet the Archangels. I need one of them to become the new King of Hell. Tell them this is a direct order from me. Leave Ryoka here under my custody."
Michael bowed and said,"I will do so, my Lord."
As commanded, God instructed his assistant angels to prepare the Archheaven teleportation gate for Michael's arrival.
Michael stood near the Archheaven teleportation gate, ready to depart.
