On Michael's conquest to godhood, and defeat his father God, there was a bloody battle with everyone in heaven, Michael stole the Holy cross from God, making him nearly invincible, Azarel joined his side to help Micheal. All of the rest of the archangels were fighting them, but alas it was too hard, Michael was too strong. You didn't know what to do, you pledged your honour on the cross, yet you didn't think what Michael is doing is right.
