Chapter 1825 - Emerge (2) (1/2)
Dyon smirked, seeing through Lillianna's thoughts. Maybe this would be his perfect revenge. Instead of torturing her for almost killing him, making her realize that he was the person she waited for all this time would be the sweetest form of revenge he could imagine.
If Dyon had to choose a person to believe, it would obviously be Amphorae. The moment she spoke those words, he had already accepted them.
Seeing that Lillianna's spirit form seemed only a step away from erupting into a mist of hot air, Dyon laughed.
”Alright, alright. How about you tell me more about this Holy Goddess?”
”Hmph.” Lillianna harrumphed. ”Scoundrel… Bad man… Deviant…”
Dyon shook his head. Her bank of insults was still expanding far too slowly. This woman was a lost cause.
”… I'll speak about her not because you asked, but because the Holy Goddess' story is one that deserves to be spread.
”The Holy Goddess carried the Faith of the Angel Clan and during her rule, we were truly unmatched. However, our Vessel wasn't one solely for the angel clan though many of our fellow sisters did have angel blood running through their veins. The First White Mother is just one of the many outsiders we accepted into our fold. Though Goddess wasn't able to bestow her the strength of a true Seraph, she still elevated the First White Mother to the level of seraph ceremonially by bestowing upon her the title of Empress.
”The Queens were our Cherubs. And us Princesses were Thrones.
”The story itself isn't one of ups and downs. The Holy Arc was unmatched. We didn't have such a thing as arch enemies and we rarely, if ever, faced dangers. We simply spread the blessings of our Goddess far and wide.
”Even I don't know why our story came to an end so abruptly. What I can tell you though… Is that the Epistemic Towers wouldn't exist today had it not been for us.”
Lillianna gripped her small fists. ”That scoundrel … that bad man…!”
Dyon suddenly realized that Lillianna wasn't talking about him anymore. But, that just made it even more sad. She had billions of years to think of insults for this person she clearly hated, yet this was the best she could do. Maybe these Holy Maidens really were too pure. He suddenly felt bad for punishing her at all.
”… Holy Goddess did all that work for him but then he just up and left. Holy Goddess was very different after that. One day she just disappeared… I like to think that she transcended … But I have no way of knowing. I myself never had the talent to transcend so I had no hope in finding out…”
'I see… So it seems my instincts were correct. The creation of the Epistemic Towers really is linked to the old man's first disciple.'
