Chapter 456 - Path Of A True God Part 1
"Without a kind heart, you would not even be able to open this box. When I said I had not spoken to anyone in a long time, I did not mean the old man who created me. I meant the lady who came here before you. She was the goddess of life. I find it funny, really. The goddess of life was truly corrupt. I gave her a chance to open the box after she treated me nicely, but when she went to open the box, she was teleported to some unknown world. You see, the box itself is also part of the test. If you have unsavory thoughts, then you will end up being expelled. You had no such thoughts. This means you are pure of heart. This is also why I say it is funny. As the goddess of death, you are purer in your actions than that of the goddess of life." The little figure explained.
"So wait…" Kana held her head, she was confused by all of this. "You are Aruya?"
??
"Mmm. The one you saw before was a projection of myself from the box. It enables me to be free to roam the room while still in a sleep state. But I no longer need to deal with such things. Now that you have appeared." Aruya answered with a big smile. She flew up and sat on Kana's head in between her two horns. "The power I gave you is the power you will need in order to break free of the chains of the mortal world. But first, you must reach that height. Until the day you do, I will be by your side."
"I see… " Kana acknowledged softly. She was about to ask what kind of element Aruya was, but before she could, her system answered.
[System Message]
[New Element Found: Holy]
[New Evolution Path Choice Opened]
[Path of a True God]
[When conditions are met, the user will be able to break free from their mortal binds and become A Lesser Angel.]
[Would you like to switch paths?]
Kana saw the message popping up in front of her and was even more confused. Kana sighed and sat down on the ground cross legged. Using her connection to Lysairth, Kana called out to her. "Mom…"
Lysairth, who was wandering around the city in the realm of gods as she normally did, heard Kana call out to her. "Hmm? Kana?"
"Mom, do you know what a true god is? Not the gods of the realm of gods but a real god." Kana asked.
"True god… I have never read anything that would mention it. The only gods I know of are from the realm of gods." Lysairth answered. She felt bad since she did not know the answer.
"Mm… Thanks. I will just have to figure this out on my own then." Kana let out a sigh. She felt it was still worth a try.
"Okay, be careful… Hey! I want a discount on this! What!? What do you mean you can't !? Kana, sorry, I need to go. This old bastard is refusing to take some money off his products!" Lysairth quickly broke the connection and went to fight for a bargain. She seemed to have forgotten she was a soul.
Kana shook her head as she fell into deep thought. She didn't know much about her system, and she was afraid of losing all the power she had now if she suddenly switched. "Kana, you do not need to worry. The system thing you have is just adjusting to the holy element now instilled into your body. See, you even have a faint halo appearing around your horn. It is a sign of a Nephilim. Although your system may change to be something different."
Kana froze when she heard this. Didn't her daughters already have halos? Did this mean they were part Nephilim? But if that was the case, how did they become one? "Kana, you think too much. Your body already has Nephilim blood in you. If you didn't, you wouldn't have been able to become the goddess of death. Only those of the Nephilim bloodline can become the god or goddess of death and the god or goddess of life. Your race is descended from the old man who made me after all. But only one out of your blood line can become either or."
Kana was getting very confused. She let out a sigh as she said: "For now, if I choose the path of a true god, I can become stronger?"
"Mmm… You will be much stronger as you progress. As to how your system will handle this new evolutionary path, you will only find out after you have changed your path." Aruya explained.
"Wait a second, Aruya, how do you know all of this?" Kana just realized that Aruya knew way too much about her!
"Because I am part of his power. He wanted to groom his successor. In order to do that, the one who will succeed him will need to be chosen from the two most powerful goddesses under him. As he is the god of creation, the god who created everything. And since I am created by his power I have the ability to see everything about you." Aruya did not want to give out too much information, so she did not explain any further than this.
"I see… Then I guess I will just have to see for myself." Kana took a deep breath and contacted Aoi and Naru: "Aoi, Naru, I am about to summon you.
"Okay! Go ahead!" Aoi answered back.
Kana waved her hand, and two figures appeared in front of her. Aruya giggled and flew off of Kana's head and floated in front of Aoi: "To think you have contracted the future elemental empress. Let me give you a small gift." Aurya smiled as she poked Aoi's forehead, sending a bit of her holy power into her.
"You will now be able to evolve into an elemental goddess in the future. And as for the little death elemental. " Aruya did the same to Naru and smiled: "And you will be the next elemental god. Mmm! Good!"
