"Greeting, Lady ngxi. I am Tania Velin, the first Earth Apostle of the Church."
After Nora spoke, the silent white-robed person finally greeted ngxi. The voice was not particularly sweet and slightly hoarse, as if their throat had once suffered severe damage.
As she heard these words, ngxi was montarily stunned in place.
Her light purple eyes filled with deep surprise.
’She is the first Earth Apostle?’
’Wasn’t she rumored to have lost all her power and been discarded?’
--
As everyone knows,
The strongest combat force of the Sunlight Squadron has always been the Heavenly Apostle, Bai Xiaozu...
Ah, no, Bai Yanluo.
However,
In the past, the most trusted and reliable subordinate of Archbishop Nick was not the powerful Bai Yanluo.
The reason, it seems, is not hard to understand.
Mainly because Bai Yanluo’s daily behavior was indeed problematic, skilled in gambling, drugs, and all sorts of vices. Even a gang leader would call her "Mother of the Church."
Moreover, although Bai Yanluo was a Heavenly Apostle, she never thought about how to contribute more to the Church, but rather how to slack off and pass the days.
She always infuriated Archbishop Nick. After each scolding from Nick, Bai Yanluo could only maintain a well-behaved state for a few days.
Soon enough, her true colors would show, belonging to the stubborn type who never learns.
Under such circumstances, how could Nick trust Bai Yanluo? Even ngxi, Bai’s friend, doubted Bai’s reliability.
Compared to Bai Yanluo, the ruffian woman, Tania was so much more outstanding.
Although ngxi had never officially interacted with this predecessor, she had often heard her colleagues talk about Tania’s excellent experiences and heroic deeds.
Tania was the chief among the ten Earth Apostles of the Church, a powerful warrior known as the first Earth Apostles.
Although she held a high position in the Church, she never put on airs, always approachable when dealing with other church mbers and often warmly helping the congregation.
Therefore, in the Church, Tania was extrely popular. Even before ngxi ca to the Church, Tania was once the most powerful contender for the position of the Saintess.
Apart from her good character,
Tania also possessed the formidable power of a peak level 7, and her work was steady and orderly.
She always perfectly completed the tasks given by the Church.
Compared to Bai, whose private life was chaotic, Tania was undoubtedly more popular in the Sunlight Unit.
In the eyes of Archbishop Nick, she was the synonym for "reliability."
However,
Just when everyone thought Tania would continue to rise higher, it seed like fate, envious of such an outstanding person, brought an unexpected accident. When Tania was ordered to go to the northern border to expel the abyssal demons harassing the defense line, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted in the sky.
With that roar, the Sword Demon appeared in front of the Church’s troops.
As everyone knows, the Sword Demon, this despicable creature, would attack anyone it encountered. Even an old lady passing by would get kicked by it, showing no rcy regardless of whether the victim was weak or disabled.
Truly treating everyone equally.
Not to ntion the Church’s troops radiating holy magic.
Without surprise, upon noticing Tania leading the Church’s troops, Sword Demon imdiately erupted into a hysterical roar and, without a second word, slashed his sword towards the majority of the troops!
In an instant, the world was enveloped in a dazzling light purple glow.
During the envelopnt of this light, what exactly happened remains unknown to anyone.
The only clear fact is that after this attack, Sword Demon left the battlefield, leaving behind only destruction and a vast expanse of corpses and blood. Although Tania was powerful, she was ultimately just a peak level 7 existence. To contend against Sword Demon, a peak figure on the continent, was nothing short of a pipe dream.
When the Church’s reinforcents arrived, they found Tania lying in a pool of blood, severely injured and barely clinging to life.
It must be acknowledged that Tania’s survival under the Sword Demon’s attack was already a rare miracle.
However,
Although Tania survived, her soul and body suffered devastating damage, almost beyond recovery, and she even fell into a coma. After this battle, the Church’s first Earthly Apostle faded from public view.
Where Tania went afterward? ngxi wasn’t sure.
But according to Bai, it seed that she was taken by Archbishop Fiona and Kain for treatnt. Due to the lack of news about the first brave warrior, many even thought that Tania had succumbed to her injuries.
Even ngxi had similar conjectures.
That’s why, when she heard the na ’Tania’ from Nora’s mouth, ngxi felt a wave of surprise.
’Didn’t Bai sister say… she was severely injured and couldn’t recover?’
But now…
Feeling the robust holy magic radiating from her, ngxi squinted slightly. She was quite curious about how the other party had recovered from such severe injuries. However, more than that, ngxi was more interested in the previous words of Nora...
Still, the initial pleasantries were necessary.
After a mont of stunned silence, ngxi imdiately put on her signature welcoming smile and gracefully returned Tania’s greeting:
"I am honored to et you, respected first earth Apostle, Miss Tania."
"That’s too formal, Lady ngxi. Strictly speaking, I am still a mber of the Sunlight Squad, and you are my direct superior, there’s no need to be so polite to ."
"I see, I understand… Speaking of which… may I ask a presumptuous question, Miss Tania?"
"Please, go ahead."
"Your injury? Is it alright now?"
"Thanks to the blessing of the Goddess, it has already healed."
"The Goddess?"
ngxi frowned slightly in confusion.
anwhile, Nora, standing beside them, showed a smug expression and directly stepped forward, wrapping an arm around Tania’s shoulder:
"Yes, Tania’s smooth recovery is all thanks to the blessing of the Goddess. It was the Goddess who helped repair Tania’s soul and internal ridians, allowing this first brave warrior to be reborn. And not just that~. Now, Tania, like the Pope, has received a portion of the Goddess’s power in this blessing. She, like you, can now wield divine power~"
"Divine power, huh..."
"Yes, now Tania is also an apostle of the Goddess, a partner with the sa power as you, You both are from the Sunlight Squad~. So, the Holy Father hopes you can get along well with Tania. Maybe, Tania can also assist you by your side? What do you think, Miss ngxi?"
Nora said with a smile.
Although it sounded like a question, ngxi could clearly sense the uncompromising and forceful attitude in her words.
It seems,
’Without reporting, my unilateral action yesterday to et Sister Yumo has displeased that guy, huh?’
’So quickly arranging soone to be by my side, is it to monitor and prevent any recklessness?’
’Hehe…’
The silver-haired girl couldn’t help but sneer inwardly, but on the surface, ngxi still maintained a pleasant deanor, even showing a grateful look:
"Then I would like to thank the Holy Father for his concern."
Saying this,
ngxi then turned her gaze to the white-robed figure beside her, a hint of sharpness flickering imperceptibly in her light purple eyes.
’Divine power, huh? It seems the thod to deceive the people of the Holy Tower must be related to this divine power...’
’But...’
As if thinking of sothing, the corners of the silver-haired girl’s mouth turned up aningfully,
The next mont,
Under Nora’s satisfied gaze, ngxi gracefully approached Tania and extended her hand in a handshake gesture:
"So, I look forward to your guidance, Senior Tania~"
"..."
Seeing this, Tania hesitated for a mont.
But considering the situation, it wouldn’t be good to refuse, so the white-robed figure eventually extended her hand sowhat reluctantly and shook hands with ngxi.
"… too. Miss ngxi."
...
And as they shook hands, the holy magic in ngxi’s body, through a subtle thod, unbeknownst to anyone, quietly released from her palm, flowing into Tania’s hand and into her body.
In that instant, a profound seriousness fleetingly appeared in ngxi’s light purple eyes.
A bold conjecture in the girl’s heart seed to be further validated.
’There is indeed divine power in her body…’
’But…’
’As I expected…’
’There’s sothing wrong with this divine power...’
