Mysterious hooded figures that | Mysterious hooded figures that function as the supreme government of [[Tokyo Millenium]]. Operating from the Center, they create the laws that their [[Center Bishop|Bishop]] and [[Holy Knight]]s enforce. Though to bring their goal is to bring the [[Millennium Kingdom]] to fruition and have a [[Messiah (Concept)|Messiah]] appear to grant salvation to the people, their vision of [[YHVH|God]]'s will and the Millenium Kingdom is meant to be differ vastly from the truth. | ||

After [[Aleph]] and [[Hiroko]] return from the [[Internment Camp]], they come across [[Zayin]] who informs them that the Center Elders had ordered for [[Abaddon]] to swallow [[Valhalla (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Valhalla]] whole, leaving the district as nothing but a black hole, which prompts Zayin to rebel. If Aleph speaks to [[Louis Cyphre]] in the [[Underground Tokyo]], he will tell them it seems like Abaddon was betrayed by the Elders. | |||
Later, the Elders finally respond to Zayin's rebellion by having the Center Bishop announce through the [[Millennium News Network]] that lest he turn himself in, they will cut off the air supply to [[Holytown]], which would kill everyone in the district. When Aleph goes to the Center HQ's command room, the Center Bishop informs him that the Elders wish to speak to him directly. | |||
Before reaching the room of the Elders, Aleph's party encounters an Elder wearing blue robes, who instead of acting hostile to them, proclaims how the other Elders are wrong; that despite their claims of wanting to create a Millennium Kingdom that will experience eternal peace, they have created a world that subjugates and dominates people, which is against God's will. The party also finds Zayin encased in a large slab of stone, having been petrified by the Elders for trying to confront them directly. Upon entering their room, the Elders angrily call him and Zayin traitors and then transform, revealing themselves to be the Archangels [[Raphael]] and [[Uriel]]. They both attack the group but are slain, enraging the final Elder who also drops his disguise, revealing himself as the Archangel [[Michael]]. He is killed just the same however, and in his last breaths, he pleads to God to save them and deliver justice to the party. The blue Elder comes forward again to say what a shame it was that they were killed but then warns Aleph his fight is not over as a being claiming to be [[YHVH]] attacks them. | |||
Once Aleph has slayed all of his opponents, the last remaining Elder drops her disguise to reveal herself as [[Gabriel]]. She goes on to explain that she along with the other Archangels had attempted to create a Millennium Kingdom according to God's will, but eventually, they had strayed from the proper path, with the Millennium Kingdom they had tried to create dominating people instead of saving them. After seeing that the promised Messiah would not appear in Millennium soon enough, the other Elders decided to take things into their own hands and tried to artificially create a Messiah, which was in direct opposition to God's will. After this, God abandoned the Archangels, only contacting Gabriel to order her to part ways with them to follow His true will. Gabriel then tells him to meet with Zayin, who had been restored upon the Elders' defeat. Zayin thanks Aleph for his help, happy that Millennium's rulers were gone, but was also worried due to no one being left to operate Millennium. | |||
When Aleph is brought to [[Keter Castle]], [[Lucifer]] reveals that the YHVH that he had defeated at the Center was not the real God; It was a false YHVH created by the Elders' fervent belief that they were following God's will. | |||
Later, Aleph's party makes their way into [[Inside Abaddon's Body|Abaddon's body]], where they reunite with [[Mekata]], who reveals to them that the reason why the Elders had ordered Abaddon to swallow Valhalla was both because they saw that Valhalla was no longer of any use to them, and also because they wanted to prevent Aleph from meeting with Mekata in fear that he would reveal the truth, which he proceeds to do. He explains that in the Elders' efforts to create a Messiah once they saw that God would not send on Himself, they started the [[Messiah Project]], resulting in the creation of Aleph, as well as [[Beth]], [[Gimel]], [[Daleth]], and Zayin. | |||
After Abaddon is defeated, he tells the party that the reason why he himself complied with the Elders' orders was because Michael had promised him to restore him back to his form as an angel. | |||

In "Lily Corsage", the Elders are discussing what to do with Zayin and Aleph now that they are rebelling against them and decide to start a new Messiah Project after they have been disposed of. Gabriel however has had enough of their scheming and loudly protests their actions. They try to justify their actions and hope that correcting their mistakes will earn them God's forgiveness, but Gabriel refuses to hear them out and leaves them. This saddens the other Elders, but they resolutely conclude that they have gone too far to be able to turn back now. | In "Lily Corsage", the Elders are discussing what to do with Zayin and Aleph now that they are rebelling against them and decide to start a new Messiah Project after they have been disposed of.
