It is later revealed that the existence of angels is what maintains Heaven, and due to the significant loss of angels through the Fall and various wars and battles only nine angels, led by [[NamoiNaomi]] remain in existence to watch over the souls in the Heaven, and that once they are all gone, Heaven will fall releasing billions of souls on to the earth.
