## Synopsis of "Tears of the Divine"

Inside Hell, Lucifer, Michael, Weldrok and The Council of Hell, begin to investigate the empty landscape that was once Hell. While usually there would be towering mountains of doors, tortures screams would ring in the air- but now, only silence and nothingness, and this would soon become all of creation, if the Goddess wasn't stopped. The group soon began to walk further and further away from the door at which they entered, searching for any sign of anything- only a few hundred meters from the door, Felhir, Leech, and Clown fall to the ground, as they realize they can't stay here, as they can't exist outside of creation. Lucifer and Weldrok head over, and ask Maltresia and Madrasa to take them back to the door, as while they have more resistance the two demons will eventually feel the same effect- so the two demonesses turn around carrying the other three towards the door which they entered, as the other three pressed on through the nothingness.

As the two venture further, they stumble onto a little stone structure standing in the nothingness, with a dim light emanating from it. The three approach it cautiously, as each examine a side of the structure to find nothing there, they soon decide to move forward, but Weldrok stops and calls out 'Lilith' to stop hiding. Lilith approaches them, as a door opens on the structure, and asks for the three to get inside now. The three comply and head inside, and find 20 more demons indie the structure- including Dromos, who asks what is actually happening. Lucifer and Michael explain the situation, while Lilith is pulled aside by Weldrok, and is asked something that takes her by surprise, and replies that a man called Johnathon Constantine has knowledge on it, as Weldrok thanks her before returning to Lucifer and Michael. The to finish their conversation with the demons, as the group begins too panic that the goddess was consuming creation, but Lucifer and Michael are pulled away by the hellhound, who says that they need to go to someone immediately. The three leave quickly saying a quick goodbye to the demons, as Weldrok drags them through a door.

The group ends up in a church in a universe Lucifer knows, and asks the hellhound if their seeing him- which the demon answers yes, as they enter a church in Gotham City. Inside there are two men talking to each other- one a man named Johnathon Constantine, and the other dressed as the batman, known as Bruce Wayne. The three approach John, as batman sinks into the darkness hiding himself, Johnathon asking what they are doing here, before questioning why Weldrok is here as well. Lucifer says there is no time for that, or why Bruce is inside a bat outfit- without noticing the man has left the building. Constantine asks what this is all about, as Michael explains the situation with Lucifer's mother. John sighs saying he knew this would happen, saying that he might know where she is- the ,three ask where, as he admits, that he heard of a nexus in creation between all the outerverses and places that there is a weak spot, and if she strikes there she'll rip apart creation itself.

The three ask where it is, as John shows a point which Michael seems to immediately recognize, saying it is where he died, as the three rush out, not noticing a shadow leave Constantine as he stumbles to the floor asking what happened.The three quickly make their way to the spot shown, seeing there is a gloating light from where Michael died, Weldrok tries to touch it, but his finger is burnt- a voice is soon heard explaining it is the pure power of creation, as the Goddess appears. She tells the angels that she is doing this for them, and ask to kill the hellhound instead, but the two deny the request and ready for a battle. Soon, the Goddess lifts herself up proclaiming she won't kill them, but she can't let them stop her as she charges at them.
