Mikael's Order

Lore & Background

The philosophy behind Mikael's Order rests on the belief that human freedom is inherently flawed. Archangel Michael views the Conception not as a tragedy, but as an opportunity to cleanse the world of sin by placing it under celestial supervision. In this timeline, angels act as guardians and judges, ensuring no evil can fester among the populace.

This vision creates a society where safety is guaranteed at the cost of autonomy. Humanity is preserved from extinction and demonic corruption, yet they live within a gilded cage of divine law. The Demi-Fiend serves as the instrument of this will, enforcing peace upon those who might stray from the righteous path.

To achieve this outcome, the Demi-Fiend must reject the temptations of Chaos and the indifference of Metatron. Early interactions with angelic demons strengthen this path, but the critical decision occurs during the final confrontation within the Tower of Kagutsuchi. By supporting Michael against Lucifer's uprising and resisting God's absolute judgment, the protagonist ensures a world where angels enforce peace.

Humanity survives the Conception, yet their lives are dictated by divine law to prevent sin. This route emphasizes security over liberty. The Demi-Fiend becomes an enforcer or disappears into history as order is cemented. Those who chose this path accept that true freedom leads only to destruction without guidance. It explores whether a cage of safety is preferable to the wild risk of chaos.

Ultimately, it asks if humanity deserves to rule itself when its own nature breeds conflict and ruin. The narrative concludes with a stable but controlled world where the divine hierarchy remains unchallenged.
