Chapter 355 – Visit
#355.
Goo gooo goo…
An airship landed on the Sky Castle.
The eyes of those who went through the procedures to enter Halo were focused there.
In particular, the fact that Minerva, the warrior commander directly under Metatron, was waiting in front of him drew more attention.
Who the hell was the visitor, so that high-nosed, 10-winged angel came to meet him?
In the midst of such curious eyes, a group of people appeared.
One man and two women. There were three in total, and the representative among them was a black-haired, black-eyed man at the forefront. He descended the stairs and stood proudly opposite Minerva.
Minerva straight away took the right example, neither too much nor too little.
“Thank you for accepting the invitation. You are on vacation.”
“Long time no see. Minerva Warrior. I didn’t even inform them of the visit in advance, so I didn’t know that they would come out to meet me.”
“I apologize if I startled you. Hyugaon had his name on the airship’s boarding list, so I knew it in advance.”
When I met him before, I’m sure I called him the Singularity of Doom. There is no doubt that this is an important issue that deserves such extravagant treatment.
Gaon had no intention of continuing an awkward conversation with Minerva, so he immediately got to the point.
“Okay. Excuse me, can we move to Halo now?”
At those words, Minerva said with a very rare frown.
“… I’m sorry, but the connection between dimensions is currently unstable, so it’s in a state where movement is hindered. It is possible to stabilize it tomorrow, so could you stay at the hotel in the sky castle until then? We will do our best to make sure there is no inconvenience.”
Minerva bowed as if she had no face.
It must be difficult for a woman who has always been expressionless to do this. Gaon nodded his head indifferently.
“It’s okay. Raise your head. One day is enough to endure. May I ask for guidance now?”
“Thank you for your consideration. Please follow me.”
If you are an angel with 10 wings, it is the rank right below the archangel. Having such a Minerva guide her directly meant that she had made quite a concession.
If I stir up a fuss here, the only thing I can do is spit in my face.
Guided by Minerva, Gaon and his party moved to the abode assigned to them.
After a while, they arrived at the hotel.
Due to the closed nature of Halo, there wouldn’t be many visitors, but the hotel boasted luxury from one to ten.
As if they had contacted them in advance, no one was blocking the path to the top floor.
As we headed to the penthouse, Minerva said.
“I will come to see you at 9:00 tomorrow morning. Until then, please rest here. If there is anything you want, you can call our staff at any time. Is there anything you would like to ask?”
“No. That’s enough. See you tomorrow.”
“Thank you again for your consideration. Then I’m fine.”
Minerva was busy too, so after a quick greeting, she left.
Gaon looked at the place where she disappeared for a while and went inside with her group.
Isabella opened her mouth as she pressed her hips to her soft sofa.
“It’s been bothering me. Of course, there is a problem now.”
“Yes. When I came, I listened to the conversations of the people around me, and they said that I was fine until an hour ago. I think the problem arose when we just got on the airship.”
It can’t be a coincidence.
Isabella grunted as she stretched out her leg and placed it on her lap of her warmer.
“How can you be so unlucky? Well, for a day or so, it doesn’t really matter.”
“I think I just came to play for a short day. The scenery is not bad either.”
The sky is, of course, located in the air.
If you look through the window, you can see the view stretching all the way to the horizon. There was a taste of watching the chest open.
While talking with Isabella, Gaon quietly whispered to Chorin, who was quiet today.
“More than that, Mr. Chorin. How’s the guild? Any problem?”
In the case of this Halo visit, I brought only two, Chorin and Isabella.
It’s not like there’s going to be any fights in Halo anyway. If you fight, then it’s meaningless as it is.
Each archangel is an existence that exerts power equal to that of an 11-star strongman. If the four of them are hostile at once, even bringing the whole party can’t handle it.
Therefore, rather than distributing power needlessly, only those who could quickly check the state of the capital were accompanied.
“Are you okay. It’s still normal. Did you ask that before? Aren’t you worried too much?”
“It is, but it is something you never know. How is Isabella Capital?”
Because of Chorin’s unique magic, the Tree of Sephirot, it is possible to grasp the situation around her even if she transcends her dimension and moves to Halo.
However, the range was too narrow, so it was not appropriate to examine the entire capital city.
That’s why Isabella was there too.
Although she says it is impossible to monitor her other dimensions, she is instead able to confine almost all of her capital to her sphere of influence.
In response to Gaon’s question, Isabella shook her head, putting her foot on his stomach as if it were annoying.
“Nothing happened. If there’s a problem, I’ll let you know even if you don’t ask, so stop asking.”
“All right. I won’t ask anymore.”
As she said that, she gently grabbed her foot.
The straight lines of her legs caught her eyes. Her thighs wrapped in coffee-colored stockings are plump, so it feels good to touch them.
At that time, I felt a warm gaze.
It was Isabella. She grinned when her eyes met Gaon’s, and then lifted her leg slightly. Through her skirt, her black lace panties were exposed.
As Gaon was staring blankly there, Isabella immediately burst into laughter.
Chorin, who was staring at her with hatchet eyes, also tilted her head at her sudden reaction.
Isabella wiped her eyes, she said.
“Oh, I’m dying of laughter. Do you like this place? I can’t take my eyes off you.”
“Yes? No that’s…”
“It’s okay. Stop making excuses! I’m sorry, but I’m not particularly interested in the 3p. If you want to do it, come to my room at night. I’ll go in first. Call me when it’s mealtime.”
As Isabella had informed her, she said so and went straight to her own room.
She really is, she is a stormy woman.
She agitated and heated her up a lot, and then she backed off with absurd ease. Gaon let out a long sigh of regret.
‘I wanted to do 3p.’
Another day passes.
***
The next morning, Gaon and the others followed Minerva, who had arrived early, to the gate leading to Halo.
It was so heavily guarded that eight-winged angels, not many of them even in Halo, were deployed in battalions.
While Gaon and the others were looking around, Minerva pointed to the gate as if everything was ready.
“Let’s go. Archangels are waiting for you.”
“Is it right across the street?”
“Yes. I have connected you to Metatron’s office.”
“All right. Follow me, both of you.”
Having said that to the party, Gaon jumped beyond it, following Minerva, whose body had already been devoured by the gate.
When his vision was covered with a bright light and then restored, he could see a vast meadow.
Before Minerva had even opened her mouth to the exotic scenery, different from what she had been saying.
[Chunchu (天墜)!]
Wow!
With a solemn voice as if making a declaration, an overwhelming force as if holding the entire sky on his shoulders pressed him down.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Ugh! What, what!”
Likewise, Chorin and Isabella couldn’t cope with the sudden pressure. The two of them were completely slumped and unable to even raise their heads as their physical abilities were inferior to Gaon’s.
In such a situation, the only one who was intact was Minerva, who had guided the party this far.
She walked out unconcerned and knelt on one knee at the twelve-winged angel in front of her.
An example of extreme respect.
There are certain opponents that Minerva, the warrior commander, will show that kind of attitude. It’s a simple matter, considering who she’s a direct subordinate to.
As if to prove Gaon’s expectations, Minerva opened her mouth.
“Dear Metatron. As you instructed, I have brought the Singularity of Doom.”
“Good job. I never thought I could hold on to my power like that. You did well to prepare in advance. Urariel, how are you? Compared to what I saw with my foreknowledge.”
Heavenly Scribe.
Befitting its name, Metatron was wearing a robe of pure white, and in one hand he was holding a book that was suspected to be a thick code of laws.
Congratulating Minerva, he asked a woman with her black hair and golden eyes standing diagonally behind her.
The woman, Archangel Yu Rariel, examined Gaon’s face and nodded her head slowly.
“It’s a little different, but it’s unmistakable. It is exactly the same as the face I saw.”
“Right. Are you taking over your body?”
“I don’t know. But I think we need to keep an eye on it.”
Gaon gnashed his teeth as he listened to the conversation between the two.
All of them were difficult to understand, but the only thing that could be known was that the direction of the story would never be in favor of the party.
More than anything, I didn’t like the way they talked among themselves without explaining to the person concerned.
Kwaaaaang!
Gaon stepped on the ground vigorously.
With a roar, a thick dust rose and the ground cracked in front.
Metatron and Urariel, who were talking, flinched at the deep crack that separated them, then stopped the conversation and stared at Gaon.
In pain that seemed like his bones would be crushed, Gaon spat out harshly.
“Hey. Get rid of it right away.”
“Hoo… Is that the first thing you say?”
“Shut up. If you want to get rid of it, get rid of it.”
There are a lot of questions and a lot of anger, but the most important thing right now is that Chorin and Isabella are suffering.
Thanks to Chorin, the wounds were healed immediately and the body was not damaged, but the mind was a different matter.
Metatron, who had an expression of interest in Gaon’s rough spirit, glanced at the two and nodded her head.
“Surely. It needs to be quarantined.”
Then, as she held out her hand, the space collapsed and became a transparent box, trapping the two. Isabella shoots at her feathers, but doesn’t do much damage to her box.
It was just that her feathers, which were supposed to hit the wall as if passing through her illusions, disappeared as if permeating them.
Gaon took out the wind cloud and said.
“Then tell me now. Why are you against us?”
“Hmm… Do you know why Halo became closed-minded?”
“…”
I didn’t want to hear it, so I kept silent, but Metatron seems to be the talkative type. He hesitated and continued to explain.
“We are making efforts to prevent the destruction of the world under the command of the heavenly gods. But the human race will commit any sin for their own gain. It is still the same today. That’s why Halo, as always, took a half-standby attitude. However, since about 5 years ago, there have been many cases where Urariel’s foreknowledge has gone wrong. At the center of it was one person. No need to explain, right? That’s right. It is you.”
“… Is that all?”
Five years coincides with the time Earthlings were called to the Union, and the time he underwent his second return.
But that alone doesn’t explain it.
Halo wouldn’t be able to keep its current position in the Union if it did such a thing simply because its intelligence was misguided.
If you chased a person with a trivial suspicion, he wouldn’t be able to get a good look.
At Gaon’s questionable words, Metatron naturally expressed his denial.
“Of course not. Until then, it was just an observation. But he had a vision a year ago. That was the union of the Demon Realm and the Union, and the advent of the Dimension Eaters. The face of the person I saw then was perfectly identical to yours. Couldn’t this be a coincidence? You have to go through the verification process somehow. In other words, you are the only one our archangels are after. The rest of the party is nothing more than involved.”
After all, Halo has no intention of letting him go. Gaon looked at the angels surrounding him and opened his mouth.
He said, “You said it was a verification process, what are you going to do?”
“That’s an investigation, of course. Your body as well as your soul. I’ll check it out to see if it’s touched by evil spirits. Of course, even after that, I will have to stay here and be monitored. Will you cooperate?”
He has lovers. He doesn’t know what might happen outside, but he has no intention of being obediently locked in this place and only under investigation.
Naturally, Gaon shook his head.
“I refuse.”
“Is it? Too bad. A breakdown in negotiations.”
“I think so too. It’s still unfinished, but I didn’t know it would be used already.”
Image realization.
A unique skill required to reach the highest level of 11 stars. It boasts absoluteness that rivals even the authority of the gods.
He hadn’t made any sense of it for years, but lately he’s come to an idea.
Bring it out into reality.
‘Imagination Realization. Bringing on a previous life.’
