Chapter 208: The truth of heaven (2)
IYuThe handcuffs had a pattern engraved on them similar to the Hena they had seen in the refuge of Nor. They seemed fixed to space, did not move at all, and not even magic could be activated.Vk4
vD8OGhIt was not a method they would use simply out of fear of mere humans.p8FAJ
fa6e7Amy remembered a frog trapped in a laboratory.eXn
b9zPmAMBefore dissecting it, its limbs are tied, not because the frog is frightening.oEQJb
X9FAt that point, a chill ran through her body.et1
Fr8bbQThat meant something was waiting, something that would naturally make one resist with all their strength.ZWhY2
n2jHPerhaps thinking the same, Tess and Arin also remained silent.6mP
oKcXrjAs if, by not making any noise, that extreme tension could last forever.Ho23
Osg9bkAAt least, there was a small comfort Tess no longer had the drone on her wrist.IhW9c
KtTfUpon arriving in Jebul, she had sent it away without Ikasa noticing.JvSm3mq
x8MXZ2WIt was the ingenuity of someone trained as an observer.ogKRI6
0BJ‘What is happening? Why can nothing be seen?’q10fd6N
FwVKBut her effort was useless for now.A0Y4wCQ
Lh94tMThe drone could guide Shirone and the others so they could arrive as quickly as possible, but nothing appeared on her retinal screen.A3YBA
D92She did not know that space itself was isolated by a function of the meca system.tTqBUJ
JlRNYEKariel was inspecting the machines about 70 meters from the star cluster.YpD5WrK
lKRLIt was a huge pillar that reached the ceiling, with thousands of panels emitting lights of different colors.EnVUx
vQ04Kariel floated about ten meters high, with his arms crossed, observing the screen.dvot2
mYtoXThe screen was filled with complex symbols that Amy and the others could not understand.amRW
PsKP1Amy observed Kariel’s halo.BrT
fE5iIt was a ring so enormous and clear that it could not be compared with Ikasa’s.aNX
s5do9Within the limits of the ring, diagrams and formulas appeared and disappeared like afterimages, and each time they did, the screens of the devices changed rapidly.Va9C
hXEtTGs— System check completed. The Liquor of Life will begin. Please input the molecular structure of the genetic material.YfJ
Nt0uQFrom the ceiling, the unsettling voice of a woman was heard.bjvkX0W
n2XnQSNot even Arin could analyze the machine’s voice. And trying to use mental perception on Kariel would be madness.yElyh
NPjjAfter observing the screen for a moment, Kariel flew toward them.OjHkoZI
8COI5A deep vibration was heard, like that of a double bass.z5Y
IaY0He was a young man with a beautiful appearance. He measured 2 meters and 30 centimeters and wore a white robe. His halo was so bright that it seemed to open a hole in space.dQCZnc9
jfN9Amy gathered her courage and stared at him.bVU
qee82If something was going to happen, she intended to be the first to face it. She did not want to even imagine Tess or Arin suffering before her.B26Xa
d3d“Are you not ashamed, being an archangel? Why do you not take these handcuffs off us already?”2rCS
j1Xk“What a low thought, typical of humans. As an archangel, I have restrained you to fulfill my duty.”cC0
UERArin, who was staring at Kariel, bit her lip.ENK
36kjIt was the first time she experienced something like this.FrZ
5USSJShe could only see vibrating strings. Those vibrations stirred, forming a figure, but even that was imprecise.eRx
VXSPIKariel existed only as probability.fKTx
iHyAmy spoke up again.VT7
gRPc“Your duty? What do you plan to do to us?”YaN6
MUp4y“Right, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the archangel Kariel. Under Ra’s orders, I have been sent to occupied territories to execute the Liquor of Life. I will also apply it to you. It is an honorable mission, so you should accept it with gratitude.”fqu0Yc
hLJUnh1“Do not talk nonsense! You have us tied up and you come to say stupid things! First take this off!”UWSn
Y7lAmy struggled. Since the handcuffs were fixed at the height of her waist, the only thing she could do was kick like a child.D7c
KmkAgTess, reflecting on what Kariel had said, asked with suspicion.yAdEE4Y
jpaADT“Wait. Occupied territories? You mean heaven is attacking other worlds?”vzC8
qowiKariel sank into thought. Laws are always correct. But to persuade humans, another way of speaking was needed.zvN
hDG“We only transmit Ra’s will. God loves humans and wishes them to exist eternally. Your world will also end up submitting to Ra’s will.”LNZ1rKj
tNErlvA terrifying thought crossed Tess’s mind.2UBx
IZPFrom what she had just understood, Ra was a tyrant of the universe. Even the believers of heaven might have been inhabitants of conquered worlds.T2Y
FEyFnAmy shouted.30w
VYGJ“We saw the Liquor of Anecdotes! Is that how you love humans? That is no different from a perverted murderer!”zmNAN
EGuo4M“You do not understand. Humans confuse love with power. Do not think that being loved by someone is a great ability. Ra values you only because you are beings capable of giving names.”tO0A81
kdrsAmy remembered the life record. The fairies regulate the life of believers through names.E0qEpZ
WDWlEh9But can not anyone give a name? What did that really mean for Ra?c36LF8
GknTess spoke with sarcasm.muxw54
uBJcMg“Then what do you plan to do with us? Since we are handcuffed, are you going to whip us while you love us?”BMvSARw
xDmtcE9“You have an important mission.”iwB
ztmt“Mission? What mission?”xAJU1
lCx4703“To conceive my child.”PEqHtpc
7UYDmhThe faces of Amy, Tess, and Arin turned red at the same time. A chill ran through their bodies as irritation surged.GLzWN
5B5Amy shouted, her jaw trembling,SFCun
jpGo“P-pervert! Do not even think about touching me! I will not just stand by!”Ko9Xmt
GqZ“What a pathetic reaction. Do not worry. I will only transmit the information of an angel into your bodies.”ldgg
tpRThat angered Tess even more. It was the kind of language perverts use to disguise the obvious.xc4aQ
bkUidDW“In short, you want to take advantage of us.”hb0YDL4
8PRKariel showed displeasure.nKCf
JZU8RA“Human language is truly vulgar. The Liquor of Life is an advanced technique that only I can execute among the archangels. Do not compare it with the reproduction of inferior humans.”Al0V
bEKUl9— Preparation of the Liquor of Life completed. Information accumulation rate at 100%. Do you wish to proceed with the copy?YBVo
ovZMXGAt that moment, the female voice echoed from the ceiling.7DGdKq
oSE8hZKariel rose into the air, as if there was nothing more to say.Of2Sw
cv0I“Copy.”SuqPplq
YKbq4r— Initiating the copying of genetic material. Estimated time, 2 minutes and 30 seconds.6il
4nG1NPcKariel’s halo expanded into a ring more than 20 meters in diameter.grjjhT
iYBRAs he brought his index and middle fingers together, a sphere of light the size of a marble appeared at the tip of his fingers.Y5Q
4UkAEIt was small, but its intensity was enough to illuminate the entire Great Hall of the World.vdQHO
omgLKariel returned the halo to its original state and went back to the girls.0gR
BbRgAt the tip of his fingers, where the light had disappeared, a diamond-shaped glass panel emitting a violet glow formed.AxKSeo6
iFT“This panel contains an amount of life information close to infinity. Do you understand? To create a human, the information of all the life forms that existed before them is required.”TSd
Q9yBuI8“What does that matter! Whatever it is, we will not do it!”oK9yw
SbEM04HAmy shouted. She was already quite indignant, and on top of that, hearing explanations only made her anger grow.hJL
6zXrCdBut Kariel, proud of his technique, continued explaining as if he had an audience.ecSMz
RDjN“The information of an angel is delicate and complex. Therefore, when a woman who has already given birth tries to have a nephilim, the success rate decreases drastically. In that sense, you are lucky. You have received the honor of directly housing the offspring of a great angel.”nTp
xCiof“And what do you want to create nephilim for?”FyqAk
DbqXn“To send them to another world. In this case, it will be yours.”0qf6dnS
val“Is it to reform the humans of that world and offer them to God?”OCmg2o1
c4gKPWiAt the direct question, Kariel fell silent.iRPYDMR
qL8zBIn the end, that was it.LCbg
Os6YlNTo make the women of occupied territories give birth to nephilim, reform the humans of that world, and then guide them toward God.Oq264W
HhfITess understood that nephilim were, in essence, spies.VnAvL
DDZEz8gThat they were free from the laws meant exactly that.PWl
C3KonEIt would not make sense to impose their own laws on soldiers infiltrated into enemy territory.REQsH
eVnYKariel extended the panel floating at the tip of his fingers.Ov3cC
NRCJWSR“Do not worry. It is only about transmitting information, so you will not feel shame.”kN26Rl8
kt1XjOmIf the glass panel were placed on the forehead, from it would emerge spikes that would embed into the brain like roots.cyVch
24uujThrough those roots, the angel’s information would penetrate and generate life from the woman’s body.Pz3y1CX
QTbiKariel brought the panel close to each of their foreheads, as if measuring whether it fit.FK7avd5
BfGaWCAll of them had clear and well-shaped foreheads, suitable for the roots to be implanted.nYJ0RMW
R6IlW“Hmm I see. Do you want to decide it yourselves? Who will be the first to receive this honorable technique?”yZrp
cYWlA5The three shouted at the same time.qMv
9aq6p“Me first!”HdgrzL
dS1mksWithout having expected that reaction, the girls looked at each other.e5CQYwM
xxAzWThe fact of being together gave them courage again.Yeh
zPaKariel seemed satisfied.kTvwTrQ
epr0HFor the Liquor of Life to succeed, the angel’s information had to be precise, but the role of the host body was also very important.mJRJ
FbJGTACThe probability of success was approximately one in thirty, and in case of failure, the brain suffered a shock that caused death.dwz
isrHxkHowever, the stronger the mind and the better the physical condition, the greater the probability of success.Xdx6quk
67cy8TIn that sense, the three were excellent candidates.u3vEoSn
ekj0j— The copying of the genetic material has been completed.tIc0
GtPmALThe voice descended from the ceiling, and Kariel raised his hand.SAJMZ8
sFpv4SdOn the sides of the glass panel floating vertically, two more identical ones appeared.fKyY
1fg“What united sisters. Since I cannot decide which is better, I will implant all three at the same time.”5Jxqs
8t2pThe three panels separated from his hand and floated in the air as they approached.ONMKME
BeuyETAmy and the others were overtaken by an uncontrollable rage.kg0W
vdjENow they understood it clearly.E77x
01Ix2IdThe archangel Kariel was the worst kind of pervert.Zoe46
OUY8***xM7
4If43Rian and Canis arrived in Jebul.iilGe
tM1WAs soon as they crossed the wall, the landscape they saw was that of countless discs expanding outward. It was like a floating city built on a lotus.NuSpuHn
MMeH8m8Just as they had anticipated from outside, the interior of Jebul was a dimensional labyrinth.yBvATWL
X5CSzDThe method of moving between spaces was too complex to calculate with human logic.qwD
7PFThere was surely some kind of rule, but they did not have time to think about it.iHNPmRw
U7NNzGDFollowing the memories that Peophe had transmitted to them, they advanced guided only by coordinates.2RnCQ
REzVbAfter moving several times to the same place, Canis finally found the portal to Ingris.P5XSwfT
oHHU“Let us split up here. Knowing the path is one thing, finding it is another. It is better that at least one of us arrives first.”ijB
dYRw“Are you sure? If you cannot deactivate the meca system, it is useless for me to arrive first. If there are enemies in Ingris, it might be more effective to eliminate them together.”qg39yVU
JStIdndCanis looked at the portal.EGaGP
TYkKMIpNo special mechanism could be seen, but according to Peophe’s memories, that was undoubtedly Ingris.M00NKiK
DDhSo far they had not encountered anyone, so the probability of enemies was low.Kx4oFS1
eqPXBut if there were any, they would be at least at the level of mara.5vsr2
4w4In that case, perhaps it would be better to go together, as Rian said.jsG5Nib
JWOzEven so, Canis did not change his mind.9NfKjV
arNnHe did not know how long it would take to deactivate the meca system. In any situation, wasting human resources was not a good strategy.7JDLm7
Z65“There is nothing certain. Going together does not guarantee it will be easier. Let us do what each of us can. Right now, that is the best.”gW2VR
puyaRian accepted. After adjusting the Signa and the Exd that he had received from Rena, he headed toward the east of Jebul.Tta
ZBhCanis took a deep breath and stepped onto the platform.vfsEOJW
gS9KbHe did not need to do anything in particular. As soon as he stepped onto the coordinates, a crack opened in the ground and an explosion of light burst forth.EYkssn
f3w7wIn the time of a blink, the scenery changed.HTMO7
YJmHMThe library of the angels, Ingris.ocUf4
w22Unlike the warmth its name suggested, it was a completely mechanical place, without any trace of humanity.com
C6QHAdFrom the central control device extended corridors in the shape of a cross, and the walls were covered with rectangular panels placed vertically.pvAm63G
olLHarvest appeared, clearly uncomfortable.RSaEx1
FBBFor him, who perceived the world through vibrations, Ingris was a space completely saturated with them, without the slightest void.iVOs4qN
lMGhfCanis observed cautiously to see if there were enemies.xi63tP
yMWQHe would probably have to check every corner, but for now there was no visible presence.8cuND
