Chapter 54: The Crystallization of Fantasy, The Descent of Angels

Artoria gazed sharply at the rising mountains in the distance, her eyes wide with astonishment. The ancient power contained within Excalibur in her hand was steadily increasing.

Her Excalibur is the pinnacle of all heroes' Noble Phantasms, far surpassing even divinely forged swords.

This was forged by the planet itself, its material being the crystallization of the planet's deepest illusions, the embodiment of fantasy. One could say that this holy sword is a kind of 'deity'.

Its true form is only revealed when something that threatens the planet itself appears; otherwise, it is just an ordinary holy sword, even less powerful than some divinely crafted holy swords.

But when its true form is revealed, its power is beyond even her imagination as the owner.

Through the Holy Sword, she could clearly feel the despair and fear of people from all directions, as well as the suffering of the planet itself.

These despairs, fears, and the planet's suffering, once fully absorbed by the Excalibur, will be transformed into immense magical power. The more despair and fear people experience, and the deeper the planet's suffering, the greater the magical power transformed by the Excalibur will be.

“My king, your sword in the lake…” Gavin was so shocked by the aura emanating from Excalibur that his scalp tingled. If he had felt that Excalibur was a majestic and sacred sword when he was learning swordsmanship, now he felt that it was just a small sun that could explode at any moment.

"This is because the Sword in the Lake sensed the enemy of the planet, the enemy of humanity, and is now enraged." Artoria sheathed Excalibur, whose magical power continued to rise, meaning it was not yet time to wield it.

"Teacher Liya, what exactly happened over there? Why did it turn out like that?" Eleanor pointed to the distant mountains that rose and then collapsed, cold sweat dripping from her temples, her lips trembling slightly.

It's terrifying, like a world-destroying giant is rising up from underground.

"Could it be that Satan from hell is about to escape?" Gavin swallowed hard, his pupils trembling. What other demon could possibly cause such an unimaginable scene before him but Satan?

Are we going to fight Satan?

“Not Satan, but close enough. But even if it were Satan, you don’t need to worry. The holy swords in your hands are divine weapons, the nemesis of evil,” Artoria said.

"My King, how do my and my sister's holy swords compare to the Sword in the Lake?" Gavin asked curiously, having calmed down. The oppressive aura he had just felt from the Sword in the Lake was terrifying. Was his own sword any more powerful?

Artoria was a little taken aback, then smiled and said, "Compared to the Sword in the Lake? There is no comparison between holy swords. Every holy sword has its own mission."

"Both the Blazing Sword and the Storm Sword were forged by the gods themselves. They even contain fragments of divine power and are connected to the source of elemental power. When you are able to truly wield them, even some gods will not be able to stop you."

“I understand.” Gavin gripped the ‘Eye of God’ at his waist.

“…” Irene touched the ‘Eye of God’ that she wore around her neck as a necklace, her expression somewhat dazed, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

She heard many sounds of despair and fear. These were bio-electrical signals that her 'awakened ability' automatically received. She could hear them whenever she went to a crowded place.

"How terrifying! Lord, please save me!"

"Waaah, my home is gone. What am I going to do now?"

'If the city is gone, what will happen to my food and water? Will the church continue to provide me with water and food?'

'This is terrifying, what should I do? What should I do?'

What should I do in the future?

'Lord in heaven, please guide me; I don't know what to do.'

"Ouch, that hurts! I fell and hit my knee during the earthquake."

'Someone, please tell me what to do? Please, anyone will do.' 'Will boulders falling from the distant mountain range roll this way? I don't want to die.'

Gavin noticed Irene's unusual behavior: "Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Irene shook her head, snapping out of her daze. "I'm fine. Let's hurry up and get there. We should be able to do something."

It's so sad to hear so many people's painful voices.

Is there anything I can do? Can I stop everyone from suffering like this?

Am I capable?

“What a kind child, it’s only natural that she deserves the favor of the gods.” Artoria said with a smile. In her opinion, Irene’s ability to become an angel was due to the favor of the two gods, Master and Lord Buyer.

Granted the power to become an angel, she herself became an angel in reality.

"Thank you for your praise." Irene patted the 'Eye of God' on her chest. I will definitely be able to help everyone. My abilities, and the power of the 'Eye of God', can not only heal diseases and injuries, but also heal and soothe the soul.

Is this the mission God has arranged for me? Then I will surely heal everyone's hearts and drive away fear and despair.

With this thought in mind, he gripped the Eye of God tightly with both hands and prayed in his heart.

'My Lord, I will impersonate an angel of Eden. Please punish me afterward; even if I fall into hell, I will have no regrets.'

hum~
The Eye of God flickered on and off, and Irene felt her elemental power rapidly increasing, even making her skill 'Blessed Angel' stronger.

“Thank you for your grace, my Lord.” Eleanor thought she had received God’s approval and her face was full of gentle smiles.

In reality, this simply means that her wishes and beliefs have reached a new level and become purer, thus increasing her elemental affinity. As she goes further and further down the path of fulfilling her wishes and beliefs, her elemental affinity will continue to rise until it rivals that of the gods.

This is the unique way for the holder of the 'Eye of God' to become stronger: by fulfilling their own wishes and beliefs, they grow stronger, and once they have fulfilled their wishes and beliefs, they will 'become a god'.

The fragments of power within the 'Eye of God' will absorb the crystallization of desires and beliefs and grow, eventually becoming complete divine power.

Artoria, Irene, and Gavin reached the refuge.

Here, on an open grassland, stand rows of green disaster relief tents, and the ground is littered with bags of emergency food. At this moment, no one is in the mood to clean up the garbage.

The continuous, deafening roars came from afar, each one reinforcing the rationality of the people in the refugee camp.

Some people stared in fear at the rising mountains, some looked down at the ground with blank eyes, and others stared blankly at the ruins of Cardiff.

At this moment, even the clergy were filled with fear and numbness. Only the older Protestant priests, their fingers trembling, turned the pages of the Bible and muttered to themselves, trying to suppress their fear with the help of the Bible.

Irene looked pained; her mind was filled with the voices of fear and despair in the hearts of the people in the refuge, and also the voices of people praying to God.

“Everyone…” Eleanor walked into the crowd and spoke, but no one responded to her; everyone was immersed in their own negative emotions.

hum~
"Bless the angel!" The 'Eye of God' on Irene's chest emitted a blue light, blue angel wings slowly unfolded behind her, an angel halo appeared above her head, and her toes slowly lifted off the ground as she flew up.

Angel wings enveloped her body and then instantly unfurled, spreading azure wind elements from her body while simultaneously activating her 'Source Potential'.
