When I play this song as BGM, a world strategy automatically comes to mind.

This is a pleasant background music for any great man who boldly and delicately destroys evil.

Banpresto Misteru Yokoyama character catalog items (1998)

[funnuraba]

I'm not up on my Yugiohs, so it was only today while playing Link Evolution that I found out there's a set of cards based on Babel II and his three servants... and his jet fighter. It doesn't seem like the lore has a Yomi equivalent, which I view as a mistake, because Yomi is very cute.

Anyway, the story of what happened is that I went to the bathroom while the computer was taking its first turn, and came back to the 10* jet fighter card sitting there. So it was only when the computer re-summoned all the others that I realized it was trying to use Babel II against me, of all people 🤓 An amateur mistake!

For the Yugioh fans: the reason Beast Warrior Puma is an easy-to-summon 4* is because Babel II's shape shifting panther Rodem is the most frequently seen of his three servants, while the other two have to be summoned from their hiding places. Mitsuteru Yokoyama was one of the most influential early mangaka, who created some of the earliest entries in the magical girl and mecha genres, as well as an adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms that you may have seen Japanese fandom using as memes. Babel II also inspired things like the desert setting of Stardust Crusaders and Jotaro's "costume" being his school uniform.

Chapter 4: The Division of the Elohim

The gods met in silence.

And El, the High One, said: "Let us divide the nations among our sons." And to Yahweh, He gave Jacob, and no more.

But Yahweh grew restless. The forge desired flame. He broke the pact of the Elohim and claimed the world beyond His lot.

Thus, the Tower fell.

Cruel.

The same word repeated in your head as Dr. Goeff brought you back in the laboratory, in the Tower of Babel, he calls this place. It has been a few days since the incident of him almost catching you going in and out of the lab where they kept the angel.

This caused you to halt your plan, slow down until Dr. Goeff stops hovering over you. Of course, you still enter the lab here and there, but more subtly yet not as often as before. And, in these last few days, you haven't entered the lab until now as Dr. Goeff leads you back into the lab, wanting to 'show' me something.

In which, this is where you are now, in front of the same angel, who Dr. Goeff now calls Uriel as he said the angel answers to that name.

"I... Love... You," Uriel spoke, in their slow yet, somehow, soft voice. You wonder if Uriel said it because they meant it due to the fact they knew you, or was it because they still hope for a smidge of kindness from humanity, that is you. Yet, you remained unmoving, not because you don't care, but because if you made a single move, that meant you care about the angel, Dr. Goeff would definitely turn you into one of the poor human subjects that were used to test Uriel.

"We've ran various tests on this angel, based on the results, it appears to be extremely intelligent, more so than our current technologies," Dr. Goeff explained, completely oblivious to the fact you were focusing more on the angel than at whatever he was saying.

"Save... Me..." Uriel spoke, "No," Dr. Goeff immediately sneered, causing you to tense. This man has no care for the being who gave their kindness to this dying world. "We have been able to converse with the angel for multiple times, answering to the name, Uriel," He explained, you mentally scoffed in return as you already knew of their name way before he did due to your planned mission. Unfortunately, Dr. Goeff soon got a glimpse of your staring, perfect, he thought as he claps his hands together, "As a newcomer in the tower of babel, allow me to show you the capabilities of the Angel Engine," Dr. Goeff started, looking over the staff members as they wheeled in a dead, already on stages of decomposition, body.

"Don't... Hurt me..." Uriel spoke out as the staff submerged the dead body onto the eerie liquid where half of Uriel's body is submerged in, ignored by Dr. Goeff as he started to explain the backstory of the dead man, "Due to a work mishap, this poor fellow died, declared as dead for approximately 24 hours by now," he explained, but you couldn't even look at it, not because of the gruesome state it is in, but because of thoughts, concern bubbling in you as Uriel sounded... Afraid at the thought of the experiment.

Machinery soon started to whir followed by painful groans coming from Uriel, "Declared as dead but with the help of the Angel Engine, he'll be in full health in no little more than a few moments," Dr. Goeff said, a sinister tone in his voice, and you heard it, the way his voice darkened as he knew what he's doing is for the sake of exploiting the poor angel. You also knew of how he's testing you, that would you either choose to follow his path for the 'greater good' or gain sympathy towards the angel who, in his twisted mind, chose to stay and help humanity.

As the machine whirred and healed the man, Uriel screamed in agony, begging the scientists to stop the machine due to the agony. Meanwhile, you could only freeze, unable to do anything. What can you do anyway? You slipped in this work job for the sake of an old friend that you soon realized is more twisted than anything as he exploits the being who only wanted to help, the tower is heavily guarded, and with Uriel's size, there's no way you can easily free them from this place without killing or stealing a few things here and there, not to mention, the people of the holy lands is never kind to anyone. So now, you can only watch, and Dr. Goeff was taking the scene very deliciously as Uriel cried in agony as the man came back to life in full health.

Dr. Goeff then clapped his hands at the 'successful' procedure, followed by the claps of everyone there, whether to hide their true feelings on the matter or if they're just as twisted as Goeff, and you? You could only stare at the now alive man, knowing well, Uriel was crying.

■■■

Outside of the Tower of Babel, you sat by the staircase leading to the entrance, sinking in everything you just witnessed along with the words Goeff gave you after seeing the procedure.

"Now you know what happens in the Tower of Babel... Oh, and don't claim sympathy over the angel, he chose to stay here, he could've leave," he said before patting your shoulder and leaving to congratulate the man that was brought back to live, frozen in place as you watched as Uriel wept from the pain of the procedure.

He chose to stay when he could've leave, those words echoed in your head as your fist clenched and unclenched at the thought. Bringing one hand to pinch the bridge of your nose before exhaling deeply, not noticing the way you held your breath the entire time. Then suddenly, the rays of the sun towards the tower became harsher, causing you to cover your face with your arms. It confused you for a moment until something clicked, a Prescence you felt over you as Uriel's words echoed through you.

"He is here. Do not let him in. Do not look at the sky, you're eyes will melt. Do not look."

Shit, you cursed in your head, looking down on the ground below as you noticed the obvious shadow before you. You know they're in front of you, the shadow tell enough that they're there afloat, not touching the ground. You're mind boggled as you thought of anything to escape this predicament. Well, all came out the window as the antichrist uttered a name you know very well.

"Uriel," they spoke. It confused you for a moment, but then they repeated the name, "Uriel," they repeated. It was then you came to the conclusion they were here because of Uriel.

"Uriel... They're inside," you spoke, your gaze still on the ground below. You hesitated for a moment before spilling out your thoughts over this being Uriel warned you on, "They're inside, the things in there... They're exploiting Uriel, and I don't know what to do..." You spoke out, unable to grasp anything at the moment. Just then, you could hear the antichrist shift, moving before hearing the sound of something sizzling before the shadow tells you they're backing away. Can't they not enter?

You didn't move nor tried anything as you felt they're present over you again, "Let me in," they spoke, "Let me in," they repeated, yet you didn't.

You're really asking for a death wish at the moment as you refuse to do so, "I want to help him with very little damage..." You said to the Antichrist before pausing in your words, "... But when the time comes, in a moment of desperation... Maybe..."

"... Maybe I'll against Uriel's words and let you cause mayhem," you spoke out, waiting for the Antichrist before suddenly hearing a gust of wind and a familiar voice came, calling your name, "What are you doing here? Come inside, you have work to do," Goeff spoke out, ushering you in. It was then you realized the shadow was gone. Deciding it's for the best that you thought the Antichrist decided on waiting on what you said, you pretended nothing happened outside the tower.

Yet, as you work, you felt a long gaze coming at you, but you let it be, thinking of nothing of it for now. Little did you know, Uriel heard everything, the angel is hyper intellectual and knew ways to overhear everything, and of course, he overheard you conversing with the Antichrist, the very same being they warned you.

For now, Uriel hopes that moment of desperation would never come to you if you ever start your attempt to free them.
