death has stated that the leviathans were created before all angels, humans and souls and he should know as he was there. The reason god locked them up was because they were so hungry and poisonous that nothing else would survive if they were around so it can be assumed they would be able to defeat most aponents otherwise why not just have michael destroy them all? true edgar did only kill two minor angels but edgar is not an especially powerful leviathan and he killed them within seconds. He has also proved that leviathans ( like eve) can switch off and angels powers and it looks as though their black goo is toxic to angels, so if these factors apply to archangels as well they don't stand a chance. which may explain why god would'nt send the archangels who he cares about to attack the leviathans because there is a possibiltiy of them being slaughtered. i doubt edgar could kill any archangels but i think dick may be able to overpower them. also for the record, although lucifer has never been killed, raphael and gabriel were and to date no leviathan has been permanently killed.
