The Forbidden Maiden

Regarding this one-of-a-kind transcendent path, a name naturally formed in Olivia's mind.

The Forbidden Maiden.

Rose's ability consisted of a powerful suppression of various forbidden artifacts, as well as the capacity to modify and evolve them.

This was much more multifaceted than the traits Olivia possessed.

Since Rose's abilities were related to forbidden artifacts, naming it after 'forbidden' was perfectly appropriate. Thus, Olivia felt that Forbidden Maiden was a very fitting title.

While she thought about Rose's situation, she did not stop her conversation with the girl, gaining an increasingly clear understanding of Rose's condition.

Julia and the others nearby also approached, having gained some understanding of Rose's situation themselves.

“Rose, you are now quite a powerful transcendent. Your transcendent path has never appeared in the past. What do you think about calling it the Forbidden Maiden?” Olivia asked with a smile.

“Forbidden Maiden? Isn't the word 'maiden' a bit too specific?” Julia couldn't help but ask from the side.

“I don't think it's a problem, because Rose is the only person walking this transcendent path.

“Furthermore, this is a very unique path that lacks replicability. In the future, there might still only be Rose.

“So, as long as it points to her, it doesn't need to sound generic.”

Olivia gave her explanation.

Hearing Olivia say this, Julia couldn't help but nod, feeling that Olivia's reasoning was sound.

As for Rose, she naturally had no objections.

“Whatever Sister thinks is fine,” Rose said, showing a considerable amount of dependence on Olivia.

She still maintained that timid demeanor, subconsciously standing by Olivia's side and slightly behind her, as if Olivia were a great tree that could shield her from the wind and rain.

Next, Olivia said to Julia, “Sister Julia, we've understood Rose's situation. How should we handle this?”

Julia pondered for a moment before saying, “Actually, we want to figure out more about Rose. For example, exactly what forbidden artifact did she merge with to become like this?

“How did she manage to achieve fusion with a forbidden artifact?

“There's also her past identity and many other detailed questions.

“However, her memories haven't fully returned. Everything she knows dates back to after she arrived in Kaliron, which is information we already possess. So for now, we can only continue to observe.”

Olivia understood Julia's meaning, which was essentially the church's stance.

“I understand that the church needs to continue learning about Rose's condition. However, I hope there won't be any restrictions on Rose's movements, so that she can have the freedom she deserves,” Olivia added.

Julia smiled and said, “That is only natural. I believe it's best for Rose to stay with you. She's quite dependent on you, and she won't have any objections to following you.”

The current Rose was a Destroyer, and one who already knew how to control her power.

Facing such a being, the church naturally had to treat her with gravity.

Of course, even if Rose didn't possess any power now, the church wouldn't resort to any overbearing behavior.

Olivia turned to Rose and said, “Rose, you heard her. How about you stay with me from now on? You can feel free to speak up if you have any other thoughts.”

Rose nodded quickly. “I don't know what to do either. Staying with Sister is the best choice.”

In fact, back when she and Olivia first reunited, she had already wanted to follow Olivia.

It was only because Olivia had various hidden dangers and reasons concerning her own existence at the time that she hadn't kept Rose with her, instead letting her stay in a hotel.

But now, there was no need to worry about such issues.

The current Olivia had enough autonomy to do whatever she wanted with Rose.

Afterward, Julia first reported Rose's awakening and the various circumstances to the church.

Though it was called reporting to the church, it was actually reporting to the Pope.

Matters of this magnitude could only be decided by the Pope.

The Pope quickly gave a reply, approving the arrangements made by everyone.

And so, not long after, Olivia exited the church headquarters.

Because she and Rose had not entered the church headquarters from the same location, she had to return to West Sea City first before heading back to Kaliron.

Of course, this didn't take her much time.

With Angel Wings unfurled, Olivia soared quickly through the high altitude, returning to the prosperous Imperial Capital of Kaliron in no time.

She quickly arrived at the Daylight Cathedral in Kaliron's South District.

This was where Rose had originally entered the church headquarters.

By the time Olivia arrived at the Daylight Cathedral, Rose had already exited the church headquarters. Julia was personally accompanying her, waiting in one of the cathedral's courtyards.

Upon seeing Olivia, Rose walked up excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her.

Looking at the petite and adorable Rose before her, one would never imagine her as a terrifying existence like a Destroyer.

But in reality, Rose's small body truly contained an extremely formidable power—one sufficient to strike terror into the hearts of countless people.

“Let's go, Rose. I'll take you for a tour around Kaliron. The current Kaliron is a bit different from what you remember. I think there are many places worth seeing,” Olivia said to Rose with a smile.

Rose nodded obediently.

Olivia then took Rose's hand and walked out of the Daylight Cathedral, strolling through Kaliron at a leisurely pace.

The massive city of Kaliron was clearly much more prosperous than before.

In particular, the appearance of the floating city, Aisrether City, gave people a different feeling about Kaliron.

Rose relaxed her mind and walked slowly down the street with Olivia, taking in the world with curious eyes.

Although she didn't have very distant memories, what little she did remember of her life wasn't very pleasant.

Most of the time, she had been wandering—without a goal, without hope, and full of hesitation.

Even now, she still didn't have a clear goal; she simply wanted to stay by Olivia's side.

But just this kind of life was enough to satisfy her.

Consequently, a smile appeared on her face, and she laughed happily.

However...

“Sister Olivia, can the people on the street not see us?” Rose asked.
