This was the first ti in Daniel’s life that he had ever witnessed a battle between stellars.
Not long after, the frenzied stellar he had observed earlier clashed violently with another stellar, fighting with complete abandon. The sight was jaw-dropping. They tore into each other with unimaginable ferocity, throwing their massive bodies against one another with reckless disregard for self-preservation.
Seeing this, Daniel beca deeply aware of just how terrifying his skill [Mind Hunt] truly was.
What made it even more alarming was the fact that even though the stellar’s mind had been ravaged and broken, it didn’t die. Instead, it descended into a state of unrelenting madness, unleashing devastation on everything around it.
If [Mind Hunt] was used carelessly, it could cause consequences far worse than anticipated—perhaps even catastrophic.
This prompted Daniel to think about another possibility: what if he used [Mind Hunt] to destroy Apollo’s mind power and plunged him into complete insanity?
Would that an Apollo would launch indiscriminate attacks, mindlessly destroying everything in sight until either all was reduced to ruin or he himself was annihilated?
That would be a disaster—not just for Daniel, but for the entire world.
As he considered this, Daniel’s gaze shifted back to [Mind Hunt], and his expression grew increasingly serious.
Clearly, [Mind Hunt] was not a skill to be used lightly. Especially not against powerful beings—he would need to exercise extre caution. If a single misstep led to the loss of control and a catastrophe ensued, it would be a grave mistake, one that might outweigh any potential gain.
Even as this warning echoed in his mind, Daniel wasn’t overly worried. After all, if things truly spiraled out of control, he still had the God Rank Skill [Ti Stream], which would allow him to return to the past and undo the damage.
While these thoughts occupied him, the battle between the two stellars intensified. Their massive bodies smashed into each other, cracking, crumbling, and shattering under the pressure of their attacks. In less than ten minutes, both of them were already close to exposing their star cores.
The very sky trembled.
anwhile, Frost Star—hovering nearby—was visibly more relaxed. Daniel could feel it through the change in the stellar’s aura.
"Human friend," Frost Star’s voice echoed in his mind, "I can feel it now... freedom is within reach. This is our mont to leave."
"Though I’m not sure what happened exactly, it seems Apollo has awakened, and not in a stable state. Your arrival is perfectly tid."
"I will take you to Dark Star Jarvan now. Even if Apollo is fully conscious again, Jarvan will remain unaffected by his influence."
Daniel nodded, glancing back one last ti at the two colossal stellars still locked in combat.
The sight was unlike anything he had ever seen. The sheer intensity of it burned itself into his mory. He couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of awe.
What a sight... The battle between stellars was nothing short of magnificent and terrifying.
As this thought passed, Daniel activated [Flashback], instantly teleporting to Frost Star’s side.
He landed atop the massive stellar and was again struck by how enormous Frost Star really was. Standing on its surface felt like standing on a planet—it even had vast oceans covering parts of its body, much like Earth.
Daniel glanced down. The waves shimred faintly beneath a starlit glow.
Frost Star, for its part, glanced back at the still-fighting stellars with a flicker of unease, then turned toward Daniel once again. This ti, both its tone and gaze were much more respectful.
"My friend," Frost Star said, "Are you ready? Then let us depart!"
No sooner had the words fallen than Frost Star surged forward with a sudden acceleration.
The powerful force of propulsion made Daniel stagger slightly, barely managing to keep his footing. He had to brace himself as the entire space around them seed to ripple.
Ahead of them, the very fabric of space began to collapse inward.
Frost Star’s massive fra distorted and twisted—space around them bent like a tunnel, warping unnaturally. Within monts, they were traveling through a spiral of collapsed dinsions.
Daniel’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"This... this is spatial curvature acceleration," he muttered. "It’s just like those sci-fi movies I used to watch..."
So this kind of travel was real. Not just theoretical—it could actually be achieved!
Finally, Daniel understood why Frost Star, despite its massive body, had confidently claid he could reach Dark Star Jarvan quickly.
It all made sense now.
anwhile, deep within the labyrinth, Daniel had just retrieved the Revelation from Apollo.
As soon as it touched his palm, Daniel felt a strange sense of unreality—almost as though this were all a dream.
Is this it? he wondered. This Revelation that’s supposed to be so important?
Wasn’t it said to be extraordinarily difficult to obtain?
Yet he had it now, and it hadn’t even been that hard.
...
After Apollo left the underground labyrinth, Daniel restored his original appearance. He was preparing to investigate the labyrinth more thoroughly—there might still be clues or hidden secrets left behind.
But just as he returned to the center chamber, a golden and silver glow shimred into view.
A powerful figure suddenly materialized in front of him—a being with resplendent wings and glowing eyes.
An Angel of Gold and Silver.
[Soros]
Race: Angel
Level: 300
Faith: Goddess of Gold & Silver, Aurelia
Description: An enforcer among the Angels of Gold and Silver, Soros possesses supre authority and unwavering loyalty to the missions assigned by Goddess Aurelia.
Soros stared at Daniel with a confused expression.
"A human? Why are you here?"
Daniel, montarily stunned, was at a complete loss for words. He hadn’t expected to encounter an angel so soon—certainly not in such a sudden manner.
Then, a thought struck him.
Without hesitation, he activated [Ti Stream], rewinding ti by one second.
In that split mont, Daniel also used [Gift of the Veiled Goddess], altering so of his identifying information. He transford himself into an ordinary, unremarkable human awakener.
Now disguised, he re-entered the labyrinth.
This ti, when Soros asked, "Human, why are you here?" Daniel was ready.
He smiled gently and responded with respectful sincerity, "I am a devout follower of the great Goddess of Gold & Silver, Aurelia. After reading the sacred scriptures, I was moved to co here to pay homage to my divine Lady."
"Unfortunately, the guardians of this place were far too powerful. I am no match for them..."
As he spoke, Daniel adopted a suitably frustrated expression, giving the impression of a humble, well-aning pilgrim.
Then he lifted his gaze, pretending to take notice of Soros for the first ti. His eyes widened in feigned surprise.
"Honorable one! You are so radiant and holy... Could it be... are you one of the legendary Angels of Gold and Silver? A divine envoy of Her Grace, Aurelia?"
"It must be so! Surely your presence here ans that the great Aurelia has entrusted you with a sacred task—one of imnse significance!"
Daniel’s flattery worked like a charm.
Soros’s face softened into a pleased expression. It felt good to be praised—especially by a seemingly harmless mortal.
The angel’s eyes glowed faintly with pride as he responded, "So, you are a follower of Her Grace Aurelia."
"You’re right. I have indeed been sent here under Her divine orders."
"Aurelia is on the verge of ascending—soon, She will beco a true god. I’ve co here to retrieve an item of imnse importance."
"Once I obtain the Revelation, I will be able to help our Lady step into the divine realm itself. After that, She will reign as a true god, with dominion over Her own divine domain!"
Soros’s voice trembled with excitent. The thought of helping his Goddess achieve full godhood filled him with pride.
Despite being a high-ranking angel, he reached out in a friendly gesture and patted Daniel’s shoulder.
Even though humans were among the lowest of races, Soros was in a good mood and thus treated Daniel with a rare cordiality.
