Does death include all creatures and angels, including the Houris and the Ghilman, in accordance with His, the Almighty's, sayings: "Everything will perish except His Face" and "Everyone upon it will perish"?

Angels die, based on the Almighty’s saying: "Everything will perish save His Face." However, the houris, the ghilman (youths), and the Zabaniyah (guards of Hell) do not die. The Angel of Death is responsible for taking the souls of the angels, and then the Angel of Death himself will die.
