1085 Aura 2 (1/2)
Suddenly, Angelica felt torn. But, she made her decision immediately. Even if she went, the result would likely be the same as it was today. However, if she captured Madeleine, there was still a chance to reverse all of this. In fact, God Sacharro might become angered enough to aim his rage at the Flaming Lily Sect for not protecting his wife properly.
'It's her. This all starts and ends with her.' Angelica's eyes frosted over, deepening to a level of cold even they hadn't reached before. Despite her state of mind, her face returned to its usual expressionless nature. 'Why would a quadrant so powerful send the first wife of their most outstanding genius here? We don't have enough information on the Celestial Deer Quadrant… Even the Sapientia Branches there have long since lost communication with the main branch.'
There were too many things that were unknown. Could it really be as simple as the Celestial Deer Quadrant not having a strong fire-based core teaching? If that was the case, the Flaming Lily Sect really would be the best choice for Madeleine…
It was impossible for the fourth quadrant to travel to the current 51st. Without the easy travel provided by the towers, such a trip would cost an astronomical price and take an inconceivable amount of time. The only reason the kitsune could make this trip was because they were in the adjacent quadrant.
For reference, the first saint son of the Uidah and Loki's fiancée, now widow, Hela, left the Celestial Deer Quadrant hundreds of years ago. If they tried to re-enter it now, even if they started from the closest adjacent quadrant, it would take them decades of travel time at a minimum.
Under normal circumstances, because the first saint son and Hela were at least of the Duke level, they should be able to enter the fog and invite others at will, which would greatly reduce their travel time. However, as the key wielder, Dyon obviously had the power to block this from happening.
At the same time, first saint son and Hela had a vested interest in making sure the truths of the Celestial Deer Quadrant did not come out. If the martial world came to know that even they as the strongest clans in their quadrant had no idea where their Epistemic Tower was, that would give possible enemies a chance to take advantage.
In the end, Angelica still wasn't clever enough to come to the right answer. Even if she was a thousand times more intelligent, it wouldn't matter. All she could do was focus on the task at hand, and that meant capturing Madeleine!
Madeleine didn't even need to look over to know that Angelica was flying toward her at break-neck speeds. Why? Because she had long since unlocked her divine sense.
In that moment, a formless pressure enveloped the battlefield. Vale and Rina who were still being beaten back by the second variation of [Peacock's Dance] paled considerably when they felt what was happening. It felt as though a Celestial had descended from the skies!
'Divine sense!'
