Chapter 457: Is Lady Aisha Becoming a Reincarnated Angel?
The God of War Verethragna, in his incarnation as a gale, possessed such a special ability.
When someone familiar called out the user's name, as long as the caller was aware of the user's existence, they could instantly teleport to the caller's location through the [wind].
Now, this ability had been obtained by Renji and bestowed upon Lucretia, but for the moment, he was temporarily reclaiming it.
He intended to use it to attempt bringing people from this side to his world. According to the description in the Bible—[a Noble Phantasm fused with the system's gift]—after being transformed into his Authority, it seemed this Authority could even achieve cross-world transfer.
Thus, he would conduct an experiment, taking one person along for the transfer.
So, he had already instructed the person on the other side to call out to him.
Had they started calling yet?
He focused intently, sensing carefully, and faintly seemed to hear a trace of a voice.
Grasping this voice!
Then, the Authority activated!
In an instant, he felt his body vanish, as if undergoing quantum teleportation like in sci-fi movies, transforming into a quantum state.
Thus, in his field of vision—no, his body was gone, without eyes, he couldn't see anything. What he could perceive now was his spiritual awareness, a scene of bizarre and kaleidoscopic lights.
It seemed he had pierced through one barrier and was heading into another.
But after entering this barrier, a figure suddenly intercepted him—it was Great Red, roaming the Dimensional Rift as always.
After a brief exchange of consciousness and understanding the situation, it did not obstruct him.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the caller's location—the Seventh Heaven of Heaven.
"My Lord"
A soft, beautiful voice tinged with excitement and relief sounded—it was an angel with twelve wings on her back, Gabriel.
"What is it, My Lord?"
"Did it fail?"
"What failed, My Lord?"
"No, it succeeded. I see now."
Renji understood why the person he had brought along did not appear with him in the Seventh Heaven.
This was because Heaven itself had a special defensive barrier. He had authorization, so he could enter, but that individual was unauthorized and was blocked from entry.
Thus, that person did not enter Heaven and fell outside instead.
As for where they landed, that was hard to say.
However, finding them wouldn't be difficult—it was only a matter of time. The only concern was whether that person could maintain their existence in this world.
In a basement chamber of the Church headquarters, there was a door.
As the door opened, light spilled out from it, illuminating the entire room.
As the light faded, a group of people appeared in the room.
At the forefront was an angel with six wings on her back, though she was originally human and had later been reincarnated as an angel.
"Aisha, come with me~"
"Y-Yes~"
A beautiful woman with brown skin, dressed in a white nun's habit, followed the angel named Griselda.
She was very nervous—had they discovered something amiss about her?
Recalling the past few days, she hadn't accidentally said anything that would expose her origins.
Moreover, the parallel world from the past has now been clarified—it wasn't Asia's original world but another parallel dimension.
In that world, an unprecedented war among myths erupted, one that could easily spill over to humanity and reduce the human world to history.
Additionally, she had heard some strange rumors about a final battle between humans and gods, which ultimately ended in humanity's victory.
The exceptional human who represented mankind in that war became the king among kings and even ascended to the position of Chairman of the Council of Gods.
In simple terms, he became the ruler of the gods.
This king had apparently prepared for the war long ago, laying plans over millennia and establishing the Great Qin Empire—essentially a new Pantheon centered around humanity.
She had seen sci-fi-like battleships originating from this Pantheon.
Furthermore, this individual also served as the current leader of the Pantheon Alliance in the world she had returned to, effectively a king-like figure, and was the second-generation chief deity of the Pantheon she now found herself in.
So, did this person rule over two parallel worlds?
No, there were two more worlds.
One abbreviated as the FXF world, the other as the EXE world.
The former seemed to be another parallel world, while the latter was a bizarre realm.
Come to think of it, why hadn't she returned to Heaven this time? It felt more like she was back at the church.
With a slight turn of thought, Asia understood: the return portal must have been placed elsewhere. Otherwise, if any danger followed through, it would be disastrous if it directly infiltrated a crucial place like Heaven.
"Oops~"
Distracted, Asia didn't notice the person in front suddenly stopping and bumped into them.
"S-sorry~"
"It's fine"
After the door ahead opened, they walked another distance before finally arriving at a special room containing many items that appeared unusual.
"Um, what are these?"
"Sacred Gears"
"Oh~ so these are Sacred Gears"
These were tools created by the former God of the Bible in this world to grant humans power—artifacts that only humans could use.
Then why had she been brought here?
She saw Miss Griselda take out a pair of rings from the central compartment.
"These? For me?"
Asia felt somewhat nervous.
"Yes, try holding them"
So Asia carefully took them—they seemed ordinary at first.
Huh? The rings gradually began to glow, and she felt she could use them.
"Hmm, as I thought. You can adapt to this Sacred Gear—Twilight Healing"
"Ah? Twilight Healing?"
Asia was surprised—she had heard about this Sacred Gear from other nuns.
"Isn't this Sacred Gear Sister Asia's?"
"There are multiple pairs of this Sacred Gear. This is a recently discovered pair. The original user was malicious, so we reclaimed it. It seems well-suited for you now. I hope you can use it properly, Asia. Also, prepare yourself!"
At this point, Miss Griselda's expression turned serious.
"P-prepare myself? What does that mean?"
"I've already submitted an application to Heaven. If all goes well, we're preparing to reincarnate you as an angel"
These words left Asia stunned.
After a long pause—
"Eh eh eh? M-me become an angel? Is that allowed? I've only been here a few days? Is this okay?"
Asia became flustered and incoherent.
It wasn't that she feared becoming an angel or worried about exposing anything, but rather felt overwhelmed by the unexpected honor.
"It's possible"
"But"
"No buts"
So Asia could only move her lips silently, still somewhat at a loss.
BOOM—!
A sudden strange noise—what was happening?
Following Miss Griselda, they left the room and headed toward the commotion outside.
When they reached outside the church, they saw a fifty-meter-long silver giant serpent confronting the church's warriors.
