“A divine proxy!!!”
Those words detonated in Lilith's mind like a thunderclap!
An immense honor! Supreme trust!
Without a single shred of hesitation or doubt, her voice rang out powerful and resolute, burning with determination:
“I am willing!”
Lilith fell to one knee and raised her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, yet her voice remained unwaveringly firm:
“Lady Mother Goddess! I am willing! Even if it costs me everything—even my life!”
Hearing this, Iluvia nodded lightly.
“Very good.”
The instant those words fell, countless holy white light particles surged forth from the void like thousands of glowing fireflies, vying to pour into Lilith's body.
An extraordinarily warm and pure holy light enveloped her whole body.
That warmth spread from her heart to her limbs and torso; every bone and every inch of skin radiated a soft white glow.
The light bathed her completely as a brilliant holy beam soared into the sky.
After a long baptism, the light particles filling the air slowly faded.
The girl standing there was completely transformed.
A pair of pure white, light, and flawless angel wings gently unfurled behind her back, every feather shimmering with a faint divine radiance.
Her figure appeared even more pristine and holy, her aura ethereal and sublime, as though she were a true Angel of Light descended into the mortal realm.
Her presence was entirely different from before—her Silver Rank high-stage aura was completely gone, replaced by powerful waves of Purple Gold Rank peak!
She had skipped three entire major ranks!
She was now just a single step away from Hero Rank!
Lilith slowly opened her eyes, looking down at her hands before turning to glance at the brand-new pair of wings behind her back. She tried flapping them gently, and the light, powerful sensation instantly lifted her into the air.
“Ah...!”
Startled, she hurriedly stabilized herself, though a dazed smile couldn't help but spread across her face.
At the same time, Lilith could feel her connection with the Mother Goddess grew crystal clear.
“Lilith, how do you feel?”
Iluvia's soft voice sounded.
“Praise the Mother Goddess! Lilith feels wonderful!”
Lilith's voice overflowed with joy, her tone both fanatical and sincere.
The corners of Iluvia's mouth curved slightly, her eyes tender.
“Mm. Spend the next few days familiarizing yourself with your power. After all, gaining so much strength in such a short time will inevitably take some getting used to.”
“Yes! Lilith shall obey Your Ladyship's divine decree!”
Looking at the completely transformed girl, Iluvia nodded with satisfaction. Then, she shifted the conversation and dropped a bombshell:
“By the way, in a few days, I will once again summon five thousand brand-new God-Chosen Ones to descend upon the Aenoria continent.”
“When the time comes, you will need to coordinate their arrangements in advance and guide them well.”
How many???
Five... thousand???
Lilith stood slack-jawed with a look of utter shock as her brain froze on the spot!
She was completely stupefied, her mouth slightly agape, her eyes filled with disbelief!
She had always assumed the two hundred God-Chosen Ones who descended previously were all of them.
And those two hundred had already been lively enough, chaotic enough, and busy enough to keep her working non-stop every single day!
Now... five thousand were coming all at once?!
The impact of that massive number left her both shocked and bewildered, her heart filled with awe and nervousness, yet even more so with burning anticipation!
Seeing the girl's stunned and adorable expression, the corners of Iluvia's lips rose slightly as she offered gentle comfort:
“You need not worry.”
“These God-Chosen Ones are pure of heart and harbor no malice. They are merely eccentric in their actions, peculiar in their thinking, and often perform bizarre feats.”
“All you need to do is guide them with patience and establish order. I believe you are more than capable of handling this important task.”
As that gentle trust and expectation washed over her heart, Lilith suddenly snapped back to her senses.
The shock faded, leaving behind only burning emotion and a heavy sense of mission.
Her Ladyship trusted her so deeply, promoting her beyond expectations, granting her an angelic body, and entrusting her with the heavy responsibility of being her proxy in the mortal world...
She would absolutely, under no circumstances, fail to live up to the Goddess's gift and trust!
