everyday evening at the highest peak of the mountains in the southern region of the Kandam Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three majestic summits stood above all, crowned with elegant trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the endless mage-like church, a man sat quietly within one of the rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was tall, broad-shouldered, and with a thick white beard on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two wings fluttered out from his back as he sat quietly, seemingly waiting for someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the second in command of angels under Elohim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archangel Tamiel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"….Are they going to keep us waiting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice echoed from the side, making the watcher open his golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned towards his side where a golden-haired watcher sat with an annoyed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the third in command within the ranks of Elohim's angels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angel Zaqil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are always like this,\" Tamiel said, his voice deep. \"And it's us who called for the meeting, not them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still…,\" Zaqil muttered, tapping his fingers against the armrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room they sat in was one of the highest chambers in the Church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It oozed out an angelic presence with their mere presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, despite this sacred atmosphere…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaqil kicked the floor like a bored teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't wait any longer—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words cut short when someone entered the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel focused his gaze on the two angels that arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them was a tall yet skinny man with a clean face, and the other was a short bald man with a dense body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both were the second in command of Sabaoth's army of angels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been a while,\" the skinny one—Yomiel spoke with a grin. \"Fellow watchers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other one—Sariel sat down without speaking a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are late,\" said Zaqil with a scoff. \"We have been waiting—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to hear your complaints,\" Yomiel cut him off, glancing at the one empty seats. \"Isn't she late?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel didn't answer as his gaze remained steady, fixed on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sariel, the silent bald one, closed his eyes as if meditating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel swung his legs casually, acting as if this was a friendly tea gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights dimmed, and a warm, honey-gold glow filled the room like the sun breaking through clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was barefoot, wearing a simple white robe, hair like flowing starlight, a faint smile on her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Head Commander of Anastasia's Angelic army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile didn't waver as she looked at Tamiel, then at the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You called for us,\" she said softly. \"What is this about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have I not been clear enough?\" Tamiel spoke, glaring at her. \"Have I not made my agenda clear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael tilted her head, still keeping her smile. \"You are here to ruin Himmel,\" she spoke. \"Right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel slammed his palm on the table. \"Then why are you interfering in my work!?\" he snapped. \"Even after I specially told you not to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am just keeping the words of my lady,\" she spoke gently. \"I am just keeping her Avatar safe—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not play games with me!\" he snapped again. \"I know you—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raising your voice won't make you a bigger man,\" she cut him off with a polite smile. \"Do you really want to risk everything over an argument?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence spread across the chamber like a cold ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaqil leaned forward, whispering under his breath, \"Here we go…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel slowly lowered his hand from the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw clenched, wings twitching behind him like restrained fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, stop,\" Yomiel clapped his hands, looking at them. \"We are old buddies, why are we fighting here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel quietly leaned back on his chair and she also took her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you guys have calmed down,\" he said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't we tell what we were instructed by our Gods so we can stop interfering in each other's work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel looked annoyed but he didn't refuse, and even Dinael didn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, there wasn't an actual hatred between the watchers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all were made by the Creator God at the same time to look after the first children of Lumina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for hundreds of years, they were together as a team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Until the massacre happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will go first,\" Yomiel said, taking the lead. \"Sabaoth asked me to kill his Avatar and bring back his weapon… Naraka.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others turned to look at Tamiel who had a cold look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elohim asked me to ruin both Esmeray and her son,\" he spoke gruffly. \"And to prepare his Avatar for the inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't seen a single thing you have done to ruin Esmeray,\" Yomiel said with a curious look. \"Why is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not like we haven't tried,\" Zaqil grumbled. \"…It's just, nothing works against her… like she owns everything in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaqil's words hung in the air like a bitter truth no one wanted to swallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel whistled. \"Well, that's to be expected from the Primordial Demoness' Vessel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel remained silent, but his fingers drummed slowly against the stone table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael smiled fondly when they all looked in her direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My only task is to keep 'her' Avatars safe,\" she spoke gently. \"Both of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaqil frowned. \"Both of them? I thought your goddess only chose one this era.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael's smile didn't fade. \"She changed her mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence trickled down between them as they all remained still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like they wanted to talk about something else but none of them wanted to start the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sariel, the bald angel, spoke. \"All the Primordials are planning to descend to Lumina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words made everyone tense up as they looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel sighed, leaning back on his chair. \"Well, we all know this world is doomed—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not speak ill of this world,\" Tamiel said, his voice grim. \"No one should—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With no head to lead this world,\" Yomiel said with a smile, \"there is no way we can win this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world does not need a head,\" Tamiel said slowly. \"It needs order, and as long as we exist—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as we exist,\" Yomiel interrupted with a lazy grin, \"we're just delaying the inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn't agree more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden voice echoed within the room, making everyone stand up and take out their weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man wearing a vintage black dress leaned on the wall with a gentle smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ordinary face made him look non-threatening, but every single one of the angels looked terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Samyaza?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did he—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, guys, I won't hurt you,\" Samyaza said, raising his hand. \"I was your leader once, remember?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tamiel's voice came out low, almost a growl. \"…How?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza smiled wider, as if that statement amused him. \"That's the fun part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Zaqil's wings flared open, light gathering around him. \"You should not be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, come now.\" Samyaza tilted his head. \"Is that any way to greet the First Watcher?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick silence spread because it was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was their elder, the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one they followed without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel forced a laugh. \"…..We are fucked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really,\" Samyaza replied casually. \"Why don't you guys have a seat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael's soft smile finally faded but she did as he told, just like the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I won't take a lot of your time,\" Samyaza said, fixing his hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I believe you guys must have noticed the freedom from your Gods, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one spoke, yet no one denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they crossed the barrier between heaven and Lumina, their connection was severed with their Gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of them were physically or mentally under restraint of those whom they follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…What are you trying to say?\" Tamiel finally asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza smiled. \"It's simple.\" He spread his hand. \"I want the watchers back under my command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room went completely still because none of them expected that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaqil blinked once. \"Did you just…? You're joking, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza tilted his head. \"Do I look like I'm joking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Yomiel said immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza chuckled. \"I am serious here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sariel finally opened his eyes. \"You want us to obey you again, after everything you did?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza didn't flinch. \"You mean after I saved you from certain death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Azrael wouldn't have killed us,\" Dinael spoke softly. \"Even if you didn't interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza turned to look at her as he smiled. \"It's been a while,\" he spoke. \"I believe this is the first time I am seeing you as a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael smiled. \"Don't I look good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinael wasn't always a woman, the Creator God made her a male.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his death, Dinael chose to serve Goddess Anastasia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the goddess gave him a condition, he had to let go of his male body in order to serve her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And forty watchers including him did exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza smiled as he leaned towards her. \"Azrael would have ripped you in half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel snickered, his face filled with mockery. \"Azrael wouldn't have been able to kill me even if he wanted to.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zaqil chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are only saying it because he is dead.\" He gave him a bright smile. \"I remember you feared him the most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel froze for half a second, then scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can kill him with ease,\" he said. \"His reincarnation would die with just my sneeze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samyaza, who had been silent, took a pen and paper and wrote something down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then showed it to everyone as his smile only grew wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yomiel read those words out loud. \"He is listening….\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could understand, a cold steel was placed on his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want Naraka,\" an emotionless voice echoed from behind. \"Why don't you take it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1618,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","a3ed1f29c98868a08477221a689ccfc4a10216d260aeb36e7c1ea1cc9572604a","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-499","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-497",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
