Chapter 58 - Praying Angel (1/2)
'Ouroboros' name acquired.
Compatibility with 'Life And Death', 'Rebirth', 'Infinity', 'Eternity', 'Destruction', and 'Creation' had massively increased due to the influence of the officially donned name.
18 more days before awakening.
”Neamh is only a foundation, there is something beyond the star. When the time comes, I shall exit this secluded world of mine, to devour the world, together with you, my friend.”
MF soul's manifestation within the infinity serpent's realm began to dissipate into a flickering light. Like golden dust coming out from a holy ember, her consciousness was being transported into her real body inch by inch out of the fabric of space and time from the ever white view.
It might have felt like being adopted and getting new parents in MF's case, it struck her in a weird way when the serpent that she had bonded with was calling her as a friend. She didn't have any in the real world after all except her precious wife that would probably be freaked out when she found that her husband's body was laid lifeless.
That was, if the time disparities were normal from here and the outside world.
”My friend, fufufu, I like that! 18 days from now will be my birthday. Summon me again by the time, let's celebrate it here if you're lonely within this empty realm,” MF said joyously.
As the serpent devoured its own body, its eyes were wide open when it heard that sentence. MF finally left this realm with a playful grin.
”A birthday party. Unyielding and merciless, but still acknowledging her own coming of age. What a silly friend.”
From Tuli's shenanigans into hunting an Angel to get its approval, from getting revelation to be acknowledged by the almighty entity that represents the cycle of life and death. It was only one day yet it felt like the longest day of her life.
She was exhausted, that was for sure. As MF traveled the VIP express of surprisingly comfy soul's transportation, she then arrived in her own body, slowly opening her eyes as the view of a crying Foel became clearer, holding her in embrace.
”Hey… I'm still alive.”
At the soft hushed words, the weeping Tanomobi jumped before holding herself back from smacking her husband.
”Idiot. If you do that again, I'll cook you alive.” Trying to hold her cool, she wiped her surging tears with her other hand. ”You have a weird halo above your head, I thought there would be another Angel coming to get you, taking you away from me.”
MF wryly sneered. ”You still believe in that stuff? My wife is such a dork,” she said, rubbing her head location that was smashed by the tanomobi.
”Shut up.”
MF pulled her as she patted her back. ”There, there. Now help me stand.”
”No, let me cry more.”
It took a while for Foel to regain her dismissively iconic poker face. MF realized that she had finally witnessed another expression of hers beside the sneering expression, killing glare expression, having-no-emotion whatsoever expression, and the extremely pissed one it scared MF to the bone—expression.
MF might need an album for this.
And, she'll probably end up enshrining it.
”What with the halo? It was the first time ever recorded that a mortal could turn into an angel, a Pseudo Angel, maybe?” Foel pondered, tilting her head.
”Anvriel and I had a nice chat about the conflict of the universe.” MF chuckled. ”The Angel gave me this halo as a gift for being beautiful.”
”You're becoming a borderline narcissist now.”
”Aren't I always a narcissist from the beginning?”
”Indeed, an adorable one.” Foel stared at the shiny halo for a couple of seconds. ”Did it affect your cultivation or something?”
”No clue. I might play with it in my free time.” MF flicked her halo with a little bit of excitement, it tinged.
”I'll call you my 'Angel' from now on then,” said the tanomobi with a deadpan, heavily contradicting her choice of words.
”You're becoming borderline cheesy now.”
