Chapter 1859: Battle Against Powerful Neo Angels I
The reason why the Goddess of Light Luminaria entered integration phase is simple. She could not longer wait any longer as the mortals were craftier than she has anticipated. There were more things that could injure her than she expected, and that the world was still restricting her even if she used an ancient forbidden spell.
Since she managed to awaken three greater god level neo angels, she believed that they are enough to guard her while she intercepts the world. The Goddess of Light Luminaria is not just integrating with the world as if she is taking it in, but she is rewriting it. She is basically overwriting the current state of the world that she has always been the High God present in the mortal realm.
This is akin to what happened to the Western Continent Gods where they rewrote the reality of that continent. For the Western Continent Gods, reality was immediately overwritten because of careful planning and consideration of just the specified continent. What the Goddess of Light Luminaria is attempting is a worldwide scale which is why it takes more time.
Attempting to rewrite the current causality of the world also means that the Goddess of Light Luminaria will be vulnerable to things in the mortal realm as well. It is also the reason why she is incredibly easy to defeat while she is trying to do that. Also, the Goddess of Light Luminaria did not say it but even an ancient forbidden spell has a time limit.
The Goddess of Light Luminaria could only maintain the spell she used on Ark for one month at the very maximum. She would have to redo it all over again if she wanted to keep it activated. She needed to overwrite the laws of the world within a month which is why she is also doing everything that she can.
What the Goddess of Light Luminaria is that there would be numerous demigods eyeing her divine essence like hyenas. She believed that her neo angels would be able to protect her since she has decimated the army and killed a lot of other mortals and demigods. She would have been correct in doing so if there was not a person called Equinox who is the greatest variable.
Adrian managed to call on all of the demigods that are near by giving provocative words that they would love. Demigods that are nearing their lifespan are basically hungry for divine essence in order to keep living. This is also the reason why demigods with nothing to lose were now in droves heading to the current fight.
The first part of the second phase of the fight against the Goddess of Light Luminaria is actually a brutal battle royale of neo angels against demigods. The sight of a hundred or so demigods trying to protect themselves and their goddess unfolded before their very eyes. The situation has suddenly became more chaotic because the powers of demigods are not something to scoff at as they are just below gods.
"Blessing of Gaea: Area Revival!" Levin Cloud chanted as he used up one powerful spell before the time for the summoning of the Tree of Life and Death expires.
Levin Cloud utilized the remaining energy that was given to him by the Tree of Life and Death to perform a wide area revival spell at no cost. He could have asked Adrian to extend the duration of the Tree of Life and Death via his domain skill but even he does not know when the battle will end. One cannot just suddenly demand someone to use something for their own benefit.
A powerful green light covered with flames swept the entire area and revived every player and even NPC. The revival of NPCs shocked Levin Cloud because he knew that their revival is extremely forbidden. He was about to check if he will get any punishment for reviving thousands of NPCs, but nothing came.
"I revived them, but I did not get punished?! Am I dreaming right now?" Levin Cloud stated.
"Not really. The world is actually in great chaos right now because of her." Adrian stated as he pointed at the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
"Her? Why is that?" Peridot asked as she appeared near them and managed to hear their conversation.
"The Goddess of Light Luminaria is basically considered a banned entity still. It is only through the use of an ancient forbidden spell which is why she is able to be in the mortal realm. Still, one cannot fool the will of the world even with a magic spell which is why the world is also trying to expel her out. Although, the world is having a difficult time because the spell used was very old and powerful that she sacrificed an entire city for it." Adrian stated.
Adrian could vaguely see a foreign power that is trying to expel the Goddess of Light Luminaria from the world. The force was not powerful enough to counteract a golden like silk veil covering the Goddess of Light Luminaria which is whey she is not getting sent back. Adrian believed that destroying that golden silk veil is key to expelling the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
In fact, Adrian managed to clearly see this golden silk veil when he struck the weak spot earlier. The golden silk veil was actually shattered momentarily when he did so. If the Goddess of Light Luminaria did not force some of her true form to appear then Adrian would have continued fighting the goddess without knowing of a way to rescue their guild member.
"I wonder how Ark is doing. I hope that he is fine in that divine realm and is not crushed to death by divine energy." Adrian stated.
Meanwhile...
Ark tried to concentrate clearly and felt great disturbances to his connection with the Goddess of Light Luminaria. A sharp scream came from the Goddess of Light Luminaria which he was able to pick up and the connection between them waned at that particular moment. Ark tried to use that opportunity, but the connection suddenly solidified as if it was healed.
"I failed again as it was too quick, but the connection is not perfectly healed. I will have another chance and wait for it." Ark stated as he concentrated once more.
A few minutes later, Ark suddenly heard the screeching and felt the intense pain coming from the other side. The Goddess of Light Luminaria was extremely hurt which made the connection which has the image of golden chains to fade in and out of reality. Ark knew this was his chance which is why he pushed through.
Ark managed to send his will into the light chains which the small Samael could clearly see. He thought that he would be able to escape and destroy the connection, but his mental image was suddenly transported to a weird space. He was suddenly in a place full of clouds and bright light while a golden statue like being could be seen curled up.
As if the golden statue being noticed him, Ark was suddenly filled with immense light energy that was so potent that even he cannot process it immediately. Ark is suddenly jolted awake as he once again got knocked back inside his cage while the small Samael saw what happened.
"Ouch! Wait! Why can I suddenly not see!?" Ark shouted as his eyes were suddenly filled with a golden covering.
"What happened?! Why were suddenly you blasted with divine energy? You almost died if I did not protect you." The young Samael stated.
"If I almost died then why did you not let me? I thought having me die is one way to reverse the ancient forbidden spell." Ark stated.
"The death I am talking about is not the one you know where you respawn. I am talking about permanent death that can erase every fiber of your being. Remember that divine energy can basically erase life if a mortal is exposed too much. Even if you are the Chosen Nephilim, you are still considered part of the mortal world." The young Samael stated.
"I saw a golden statue of a woman that is curled up. All of a sudden, that golden statue uncurled itself and released a powerful blast of golden light." Ark stated as he was now able to see once more.
"You saw what! That was the true divine form of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. You are lucky that you managed to survive getting blasted with divine energy." The young Samael stated.
"Why would I suddenly go and see the Goddess of Light Luminaria's true form? You told me that I just need to intensify the pain that she felt so that our connection severs." Ark stated.
"That is the only thing that you should do but something more must be happening in the mortal realm. Something or someone powerful enough for the Goddess of Light Luminaria to induce her true form even if she becomes more vulnerable in exchange for power." The Young Samael stated.
