Angelic Cold War

The Angelic Cold War refers to a period of tension and indirect conflict between the Kingdom of Paradise and the Outer Darkness, following the defeat and exile of Satan and his fellow rebels at the end of the First Angelic War.

It is called a cold war because the two sides didn't directly engage in war with one another, instead fighting each other through proxies and competing non-violently over the souls of humans. The Angels of Paradise attempting to protect humans from corruption and get as many as possible into Heaven, while the Angels of Darkness attempted to lead humans away from God and send as many of them as they could to Hell.

Satan used the Angelic Cold War as a chance to build up his forces for an eventual second attempt at dethroning God, as such he allowed damned souls to escape torment by joining his army.

The Angelic Cold War ended in 2026 when the Scroll of Seven Seals was opened and the Second Angelic War began.
