"It has been hundreds of years since I came to this world, and this is the first time I have met someone who can truly inherit the power I left behind."
This seraph is surrounded by sacred golden flames. Ordinary people have already worshiped under his power, but this girl is still standing and has not succumbed to the power of this superior angel.
"He is worthy of being a prophet."
He saw Nia's performance, and there was a trace of relief in the bright golden pupils under the helmet.
"My child, are you ready to bear this power?"
This man who calls himself Seraph Agulhas is one of the main battle angels in charge of the karmic fire in the heavens. There is an independent temple dedicated to him in Josa's Temple of Light.
However, Nia did not know this angel. The only deity she remembered was the main god, the goddess of light, and the many angels under the goddess were not in her knowledge.
"I, I don't know what you are talking about."
Nia didn't know what happened to her, and she couldn't understand what the angel said.
"I don't even know how I got here."
"Do not you know?"
Agulhas narrowed his eyes slightly. As a seraph with the ability to see through all things, no one can lie to him. Agulhas understood that this girl did not know her current position, and she did not do what he hoped. So "be prepared".
"This is the border of the 'virtual world'. The spirits of all things in the world are nurtured here and return from all realms."
Agulhas pointed his sword at the sea of fire, and the raging fire in the sea of fire immediately suppressed its power and showed respect to the Seraph who was in charge of the heavenly fire.
"Then how did I get here?"
"You are here to fulfill your mission."
"mission?"
"The mission to save the world from fire and water."
At this moment Seraph suddenly opened his golden eyes, and his eyes were burning like the golden flames on his body.
"This world is about to experience a catastrophe. In the near future, the mortal world will be devastated and order will disappear. Even paradise will become purgatory. There will be no one who can stay away from it. The purpose of the master of this catastrophe is to make everything Disintegrated into nothing.”
"Well?!"
Nia looked at the Seraph, and she saw the future described by Agulhas in these golden pupils:
Under a bloody sky, groups of ghouls and wandering souls were wandering on the streets. People who were still alive were running away in panic, but there was no safe place in this world, not even the desolate fields. There are countless bones lying in the middle.
People, animals, and even the vegetation growing in the soil have lost their vitality.
The survivors who were still alive began to kill each other in order to compete for the few remaining supplies. In the end, those who survived became evil ghosts that looked like humans but were not human, walking on the broken earth with empty eyes.
These evil ghosts who have lost their rationality and conscience have become the only biologically alive creatures in the world, but are they really alive?
The girl has never seen purgatory, but maybe this is it?
"Isn't there... something that can't be stopped?"
Agulhas closed his eyes, and the girl escaped from the horrific scene.
"Yes, there is still a glimmer of hope in this world, and the savior can prevent this catastrophe."
"Do you mean that I am the savior? Just me...how is that possible?"
Nia understood what Agulhas meant, but she couldn't believe that she could take on such a big responsibility.
"Believe in your power! You do have this ability."
Agulhas flapped the six wings behind him, landed in front of the girl, and put his hands on her shoulders.
"But I can't..."
Nia was very confused, how could her weak shoulders bear the heavy burden of "saving the world".
"Does it not matter if everything in your world is destroyed?"
Agulhas' words touched Nia's pain point. She thought of the beam that left her mother behind, and the fire that turned everything she knew into ashes.
"How could it not matter! But I can't do it. I don't even have the strength to help my mother lift the beam. What can I do like this?"
"So I'm here to give you the power to turn everything around."
Agulhas looked at the weeping girl calmly. He was just a touch of consciousness left in the "blood of angels". It was actually not within his ability to give this girl such power.
But it can still be done by giving a girl a push on her growth path.
"I guess it's going to cost me something, huh?"
The black-haired boy once said to her: "There is no free lunch in the world. Getting and giving are always mutual."
Although the boy said such remarks in a childish manner, as if they were coming from an old wise man, it made Heimer and Zeref who were still around at that time laugh out loud.
But Niya took note of it seriously.
After all, this was what the young man said, how could she not believe it?
"Yes, people with power will also endure sufferings that ordinary people have never been exposed to. If you accept this power, it also means that you will take on the responsibility of becoming a powerful person."
Indeed, if Nia accepts this gift, it also means that she must accept this heavy mission.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
As a result, her life will be extremely difficult.
Agulhas looked at the girl's clear eyes and carefully confirmed again:
"Are you willing to accept it? My child, you have the right to refuse."
If the girl insists on refusing, Agulhas has no intention of imposing this responsibility on an unprepared human girl.
But even if the girl doesn't accept it now, she will have to accept it in the future.
Destiny cannot be violated, and human will cannot compete with fate.
But if the girl doesn't accept it now, will she have the power to stop the catastrophe in the future?
Agulhas is not sure, he only believes that everything is determined by itself.
Even if he is called "god" by people, his power is limited.
Gods like them have not been able to fully understand the elusive fate, and the fate of all living beings has never been completely controlled by them.
Fortunately, this girl did not disappoint the Seraph.
"I……"
She thought she had never longed for power, but then Nia discovered her desire.
Indeed, she also wants to become stronger.
If you are strong enough, you can decide your own destiny, right?
Whether she wants to save the world in the future or protect the people she wants to protect, she will need this "power" that she never craved under the protection of her adoptive parents.
As long as she wants to break out of the shackles of fate, she must become stronger!
"I…"
The girl who thought everything clearly looked into Seraph's golden eyes, and there was no trace of confusion in those determined eyes.
