Chapter 1824 - Emerge (1) (1/2)

”What?!”

Amphorae and Dyon were startled by the sudden appearance of a third party. When Dyon saw who it was, he couldn't help but get annoyed. This girl was practically his arch nemesis: Holy Princess Lillianna.

She hadn't bothered him in so long that Dyon practically forgot all about her. Now that he thought about it, maybe she was trying to get herself a new body alongside the other title spirits.

In the end, Dyon just played along. He knew that this Holy Princess hated him as much as he hated her, so for her to come out anyway, she must have a good reason.

”Is there a problem? Also, don't you know it's rude to listen in on the conversations of others?”

Lillianna snorted. ”You must be wrong, little girl. There's no way this deviant shares the same power as the Holy Goddess.”

The Holy Arc… It was a vessel so heaven defying that even the furniture that once graced it were auctioned off for o.b.s.c.e.n.e prices. In fact, a large part of the reason Ri was not blind today was in thanks to a visor created using a piece of furniture from the Holy Arc.

From what Dyon understood, the vessel was led by women. 108 Princesses, 12 Queens, 3 Empresses and finally, the Holy Goddess.

But, there was something Dyon's mind picked up on immediately. The first time Dyon met Lillianna was the very same day he first met Aritzia. Their meeting seemed coincidental. Dyon just happened to stumble upon Lillianna's statue while Aritzia was trying out her luck. Thanks to that coincidental event, Dyon learned many valuable things from Aritzia that day.

The first was the composition of the Holy Arc. Those 124 women held titles that were world renowned and wielded so much faith that their vessel was undefeatable.

The second was the power of the Holy Goddess. Dyon didn't have any direct information about this, but there was one fact he learned that day that shocked him beyond compare: the First White Mother was only one of three Empresses on the Holy Arc!

However, the third was what made Dyon freeze. According to Aritzia, the Holy Goddess spent her life alone, but she did fall in love with one man: The First Disciple of Abraxus.

[Author's Note: This was first referenced in 'Scoundrel (2)']

It was no wonder Dyon was shaken by this fact. According to Jade, Abraxus' first disciple only fell in love once on the mortal plane, and that first love of his died to old age. How could it be possible for a woman the caliber of the Holy Goddess, a woman with a transcendent worthy enough to call Abraxus Master, to die to old age? It made no sense.
