The **Heavenly War**, also known as the **War in Heaven**, is the grand conflict between the rebellious Angels under Lucifer and the loyal Angels under Michael.

It was born from Lucifer's wounded pride after Abrahamic God proclaimed humanity to be Their greatest creations, leading him to believe that she should be the new Ruler of Heaven and rebel in the process.

## Overview

The Book of Revelation describes a **War in heaven** between angels led by the Archangel Michael against those led by "the dragon", identified as the devil or Satan, who will be defeated and thrown down to the earth.

Revelation's war in heaven is related to the idea of fallen angels, and possible parallels have been proposed in the Hebrew Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

## Summary

The Heavenly War is the first conflict in existence, began shortly after the first year when the Cosmos was created by Abrahamic God. It stemmed from Lucifer herself, who became angered and insulted when God proclaimed humanity was Their greatest creation and commanded the Angels to bow before them. She then rallied her followers across Heaven and planned an attack upon the Heavenly Council to take over the Cosmos and rebuilt it based on their own image.

In the end, Lucifer and her forces were defeated and banished into the deepest realms within The Outside, which will eventually be known as the Underworld, by Michael and the Heavenly Host. There, the Angels who followed Lucifer became the Demons while the generals under Lucifer's became Archdemons.

## Events

### Predule

When Abrahamic God created Primordial Humans, They deemed them as Their greatest creations and ordered all the Angels to bow down to them, which they all did except for one Angel, being the Celestial Prince Lucifer (then known as Helel). As Lucifer was said to be the most beautiful and majesty of all heavenly beings, she was prideful and arrogant as she knew there was not another that could rival her in beauty in existence.

When Lucifer refused her Creator's command, her head grew twisted with pride and paranoia, making her thought that this wasn't an order from Abrahamic God but rather from her own siblings, especially from her older brother Michael, and started to think that they were now all flawed, both her siblings and even their Creator Themself, and thus, does not deserve to be the rightful ruler of all existence. She then believed that she herself should be the new Supreme God and began to plot to try and take Abrahamic God's throne for himself to rule over Creation.

She then rallied, persuaded, seduced, and manipulated one-third of all the other Angels into swearing an eternal allegiance to her - though her efforts might not be worth it as all Angels, barring her own siblings, would gladly swear it based on their adoration and admiration for her alone - and to go to war against Abrahamic God and the Heavenly Host.

### History

According to many sources, the first strike was made when Satan infiltrated the Garden of Eden and seduced Lilith, the first Primordial Woman, corrupting her immortal soul and turned her into the first Cardinal Devil, which led to her banishment from the Garden by the Heavenly Council.

Lucifer then led her armies into Heaven to destroy the Heavenly Host and all those who dared to oppose her, and to storm Abrahamic God's throne room. However, the Celestial Prince, Michael had led the Host to make a counter attack and warred with Lucifer and her armies. The war seemed to be endless, with Heaven being stained by Ichor and heavenly fire of the slain Angels of both sides, as the heavenly beings fell from the utmost high with their wings torned apart, along with others who fell from the Heavenly Council's growing paranoia.

While the other Angels fought each other, Lucifer was able to enter the Empyrean as she was planning to face Abrahamic God on her own. Instead, Michael was in front of her with the Elder Seraphim around her. Michael had gone to the final hallway while the entire guard had then rushed to Lucifer who was able to defeat them all with barely any effort.

Lucifer then went after Michael and faced each other face-to-face. Michael pleaded for Lucifer to stop this rebellion as countless Angels in both sides had perished in the conflict but realized that it was futile as Lucifer was not going to stop in his path, ths forcing his to go against his own younger sister. And while Michael was a formidable warrior, even he couldn't compare to the Morningstar as he was swiftly defeated and Lucifer stepped into the throne room of Abrahamic God.

It's still a mystery as to what happened within the throne room, as no one was able to enter it during this brief period, though after what Michael had deemed "hours", Lucifer left the room with "tears of blood staining her flawless beauty" after receiving a "revelation" from Abrahamic God. Taking advantage of this, Michael made a sneak attack which caught the Morningstar in surprise and threw her down from the Seventh Heaven.

Lucifer, humiliated and torn by what Abrahamic God had revealed to her, had, in her unyielding rage, created the Super Devils from her sheer anger and ordered them to rampage through the heavens, before rushing back to Heaven to crush any Angel who stood in her way.

The events after that became murkier and murkier to theologists and historians as documents about this brief period are little to none. All that is known is that after a long and difficult battle, in which the casualties ranking in googolplexes, Lucifer and her forces were finally defeated and cast down into the deepest and darkest region of the Outside, near the unreachable bottom of the infinite void that is the Empty, and far away from Heaven.

Lucifer, in particular, was sealed into a Cage created by the Celestial Princes in the furthest place within the infernal domain where her forces were banished to, furthest from the light and glory of Heaven.

### Conclusion

After losing the war, Lucifer's forces were banished and their descent was said to be likened to those of an endless barrage of falling stars that shifted the Axis Mundi. And in addition to their banishment, Michael placed a curse upon them which corrupted and twisted their angelic essence, similar to how Lucifer had twisted Lilith, and turned them into an entirely new race of infernal beings: Demons, with the generals personally serving beneath Lucifer and Satan became the highest and most powerful Demons called the Archdemons.

Despite being sealed within the Cage, Lucifer was still able to spiritually walk upon the worlds beyond with little restrictions, as her grace was greater than any other Celestial Princes (except Satan, Castiel and Endufel)for she was the favorite of Abrahamic God. She then used her nigh-omnipotent powers to reshape the region where she and her followers were banished into a mighty realm that is in no way inferior to Heaven's might, which she named Sheol.

Lucifer then crowned herself to be *Ha-Satan*, meaning the "Great Opposer" in the Adamic language, and the Supreme Empress of the Underworld. She then appointed seven of her most powerful generals as the Emperors of Hell and formed the government of the Underworld known as the Stygian Council.

The Demons themselves would then divide authority among themselves, forming numerous rankings of Kings, Dukes, Princes, Marquises, Earls, and Presidents. Lilith, who was banished from the Garden of Eden, was taken in as Ayin's adopted daughter and married to the Emperor of Hell Satan, and from their union, the Devil-race was born, who served as the Demons' servants, soldiers, and slaves. Numerous dark and demonic creatures were also created as a mimicry of the animals created by Abrahamic God that reside in the Garden.

The Super Devils, who were merely creations born from Lucifer's spontaneous anger, were spared from death by God before the Elder Seraphim could kill them. They then sent them to live Tellus Mahte among other beasts and animals, and later on, among other primordial humans.
