Chapter 1804 The Hidden Dimension of Babel
"Where have you taken me?!" The Angel Pristina asked as she was suddenly tossed in a different dimension.
"Welcome to the hidden dimension of the Tower of Babel. A place that was created to be a sanctum against the gods themselves. It is also one the places that your kind have stolen without even knowing all its capabilities." Adrian stated as he found this place when he first snuck inside the Tower of Babel.
"Impossible! We have known everything about this tower." The Angel Pristina stated as she tried to heal her wounds, but she noticed that a foreign substance is preventing all her wounds to heal fully.
"Do you like the Poison of God? It is one of Sirius' special abilities which makes healing quite difficult even for an angel that can heal wounds that might be fatal. Then again, your halo is losing its color already. Out of juice?" Adrian stated as he could see that the Angel Pristina's halo is starting to lose its shine.
When an angel of Pristina's caliber or those of the Six Virtues use their Thrones, the halo that they have will burn bright with golden flames to signify that they are using all of their energy. This signifies the Thrones aspect since it does not have a physical seat that manifests. It is also an indication of the remaining energy that a powerful angel has which is why their halos are sacred.
"Do you think that you can defeat me just because you have cornered me? Think again! You are just a fledgling Arch Demon! You cannot stop me even if I am weakened." The Angel Pristina stated as she gripped her staff tightly.
The Angel Pristina held her staff, but she can feel her strength slowly leaving her body. She is incredibly exhausted and damaged since she was also hit by the spell that Mikhail used earlier. She was not able to dodge because of the remnant chaos energy still affecting her. In fact, most of Pristina's stats are still lowered as an effect of chaos energy.
"I am not killing you immediately because I am here to interrogate you. Did you think that I will kill you immediately when I know that your little brain could not have formulated the plans that led to the situation now? I have been watching you move and command, but you are not the type to think deeply and plan five steps ahead. I am letting you have a chance to say it so that your soul will not be tortured as much in the afterlife." Adrian stated.
"Did you really think that my soul will go to the afterlife? The Goddess of Light Luminaria will raise my soul up to her divine realm so that I can serve her forever." The Angel Pristina stated.
"Bu…wa..HAHAHA!" Adrian suddenly started to laugh uncontrollably which made Pristina a bit disturbed.
"Laugh all you want, demon! I shall be sent to paradise even in my death." Pristina stated but there is a faint uneasiness in her voice as if she was making herself believe that the thing she speaks will happen.
"That was a good laugh. That really made my day because you believe such foolishness." Adrian stated.
"I am not foolish! The Goddess of Light Luminaria will come for me when my mortal body serving her is no more." Pristina stated.
"Please shut up. Do not make me laugh again because you believe such foolish notions. If that were true, then why did she not even retrieve the soul of the Angel Zadkiel when she died. She ranks higher than you and is more important, but her soul was dragged all the way to the depths of the underworld to be tortured." Adrian stated.
"Impossible! Her soul ascended just like what the Goddess of Light Luminaria told us. It is why we angels are fighting even if we can no longer revive in the mortal realm. We shall be with our goddess like the followers we are!" Pristina stated but there is not doubt that is mixed with her statement.
"Do you remember what I am? I am the Champion of the Twin Gods. A being that can see the souls of the dead and where it goes. I did not even reach out to the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul in fear of it being claimed by the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
I do not want to have a soul pulling battle with her after all since her soul ranks higher than mine. To my surprise, she did not even attempt to pull the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul. Her soul looked up into the heavens only to be dragged to the pits of the underworld by Thanatos himself. It really lightened up my mood when I saw that scene." Adrian stated with a smile.
Adrian remembers that scene vividly as it was just earlier, and he even made sure to look closely at it. As soon as the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul left her body, the soul tried to ascend to the heavens where the Goddess Luminaria's divine realm is located but it failed. The Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul was not given entry to the paradise of her own goddess that she served with everything she has.
"Liar! You are a demon that speaks lies!" The Angel Pristina shouted but her head faintly believed Adrian as he was not faking his emotions.
"Hence the reason why I dragged you here. This dimension is a special one because it can show memories of those that are inside of it. I will show you that beautiful sight of the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul being rejected." Adrian stated as he tapped on his forehead.
Adrian injected a small amount of mana into his finger, and it retrieved something from his head. He then flicked the mana off his finger, and it took the form of a small amount of liquid that dropped to the floor. The liquid memory as Adrian calls it suddenly created a ripple on the floor which showed the scene that he chose.
Just as Adrian described, the view of the memory is from his perspective which is why he saw Bronx snapping the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's neck. A golden wisp coming out of the dead body of the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel which tried to float up into the clouds, but it hit an imaginary wall. The golden soul tried to break that imaginary wall, but it was useless since it was caught by bony hands.
The Aspect of Death Thanatos gripped the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul as she was not being claimed by her goddess. The Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul could be seen forming a head and crying out in agony without sound. The Aspect of Death Thanatos then dragged the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul to the depths of the underworld for her punishment.
"Did you enjoy the scene? That is what happened to the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul. Only those that have the ability to see death and souls can see such a spectacle." Adrian stated with a smile.
Pristina refused to believe that the Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel's soul was not taken by the goddess she loved so much. The Angel of Righteousness Zadkiel was someone that strictly followed the Goddess of Light Luminaria to a fault. She was the most zealous out of the Seven Virtues since she is the avid rule follower.
"This is all an illusion! This did not happen!" Pristina stated.
"You are already losing your mind. Please do not. I need a stable mind if I am to extract the memories out of your head. A broken mind would be difficult to navigate inside of." Adrian stated as he already summoned two more soulbounds.
"What do you mean?!" The Angel Pristina stated as she tried to summon some strength into her body, but she realized that she could not.
"Did you really think that I would send you here just to kill you? I sent you here to see your memories without me waiting for you to speak. Did you really think that I expected you to tell me everything willingly? Even if you confess now, you will still be tortured in the depths of the underworld as you did too much heinous things." Adrian stated.
Chains could be seen covering the body of the Angel Pristina while shadows also bound her. She could not move because she was already bound before she even realized. Pristina suddenly had the realization that all the plans she made would be brought out if her memories get read which is why she tried to kill herself.
Pristina tried to destroy her own soul via a forbidden spell activated by words. Adrian already thought of such a possibility which is why he had Dodu wait. A small slime suddenly shot towards Pristina's mouth as it prevented her from talking. She did not need air since light is the only source of power for angels like her.contemporary romance
"Now let us see what happened over the course of a few years… shall we?" Adrian stated as he gripped Pristina's head.
