............Just like Sylas, she felt the ripple that passed through the world. Connected to the stars, she immediately saw the path from which it came. She made a greeting sign before opening her eyes and bowing in that direction."Congratulations to the Heir of God Elandor. I express my deep respect and greetings to you," Aria muttered with a smile. She held her bow for a moment before standing up and returning to her prayers to her Goddess.The platform was bathed in a soft, ethereal light, the stars twinkling above casting gentle shadows. The air was filled with a serene stillness, broken only by the occasional rustle of robes as Aria moved. The statue of Astraia stood tall and graceful, its features calm and wise, reflecting the essence of the goddess herself.Meanwhile, In the last land was the Dominion of Orion, ruled by Orion, the God of Strength. The people there were born warriors, dedicating their lives to strength and honor.The grand arena was a colossal structure,

............"Let's leave. Those two will surely report everything to Lord Paragon, and I’m not sure if Lord Paragon noticed our actions. We might get punished for the blasphemy we committed!" the Third Elder said, watching the First and Second Elders running towards Lord Paragon.The Third and Fourth Elders were in the second group, who took immediate and sometimes underhanded actions for the safety of their people. They were not disloyal to their Lord Paragon, but they didn’t follow his idealistic way of doing things."How can this simple-minded musclemen understand our cause? If not for us, how many lives do you think the cultists would have taken?" the Fourth Elder spoke in anger and frustration, feeling misunderstood and wrongly judged by their people and their Lord Paragon.The Third Elder placed a hand on the Fourth Elder’s shoulder, trying to calm him. “We do what we must for the greater good. It’s not about recognition or praise. It’s about protecting our people, even if it

............"Okay, Lady Isolde. Even though we don't see eye to eye, I will offer our assistance in following Lord Heir's orders. Let me know what resources you might need." Thaddeus Lumara looked at Isolde Moonshroud with cold eyes but still offered his help, showing he was ready to cooperate and carry out their Lord Heir's commands."Thank you, Lord Thaddeus. I appreciate your help, and I apologize once again," Isolde Moonshroud expressed her gratitude and offered her apology again, knowing how much Thaddeus Lumara held a grudge against them. Despite this, he still offered to help, showing how tolerant he was."Alright, let's leave. This isn't a good place to talk," Rajendra Chauhan gestured to them, noticing the crowd pointing fingers at them as some recognized their faces."Oh, please...!" Isolde blinked, glancing around before gesturing to Rajendra Chauhan. They quickly walked away from the crowd......Crystalbrook City, After a relaxing flight, Aarav arrived back at the Crys

............She had indeed woken up from her eternal dream-like state; she wasn't dreaming anymore. She felt her heart swell and tears streamed down her face as she tried to sit up with difficulty."Mother...!" Astrid hugged her mother, helping her sit down properly."Astrid... dear...!" Liora hugged her daughter back, patting her on the back to comfort her, feeling her daughter's happiness.Phia, sitting on the couch, watched the mother-daughter pair comforting each other."Astrid... dear, where are we?" Liora asked as she caressed Astrid's head, letting her go, while observing the unfamiliar room."We are in Crystalbrook City, in our Lord's home!" Astrid replied, sitting beside her, smiling happily."Lord... Crystalbrook City." Liora understood which city she was in but looked confused hearing the word "Lord" from her daughter."Yes... Lord Divine Heir of God Elandor. Phia Lumara, Aeliana Chauhan, and I are serving under him," Astrid explained, seeing her mother's confusion."Ehh.

............Bishop Dominic settled back into his chair, his face showing a mix of exhaustion and urgency.Aarav noticed the lines of weariness etched on Dominic’s face, indicating a long and strenuous journey."I arrived late last night, My Lord. The situation in Quartzgate City has improved, but after Father Deniel started investigating those seven strange men, he discovered something that made us worry for our country's future," Dominic began, his voice heavy with concern.Aarav leaned forward, his interest piqued. "Tell me more, Bishop Dominic. What did Archbishop Deniel find out from the investigation?""He discovered that the attacks on Quartzgate City and the capital were carried out by two different foreign forces. He was certain of this, but further details are impossible to get as he can't track them; they have gone into hiding," Bishop Dominic reported."Hmm, this is troublesome. Does he have any clues at all, like symbols, pieces of weapons, or anything left behind by the
