"Tenshi! You weren't allowed to say that to others outside the squadron!"
Mark shouted at Tenshi to which she turned her head and looked at him with cold eyes
"It's fine, I have my own reason"
"What do you mean you have your own reasons?! That's protocol and you have broken it!"
It was Chris' turn to become angry. He was shocked that Tenshi just blurted out one of the secrets of the squadron to someone who are just temporarily with them
"You, Philip! I want to forget whatever you just heard. If you ever leak to anyone else about what you just heard, I'll find you to the corners of the world and kill you and your family myself!"
Mark pointed at Philip with hostility, trying to assery his dominance over him
"Tenshi, we need to talk privately after this meeting"
Chris spoke with anger while eyeing at Tenshi. Meanwhile, Celine was confused as to why Tenshi said their secret, Sheena was slightly afraid, and Elaine is extremely confused
However, Philip wasn't fazed at Mark's threat at all. He didn't have a family and never recognized the previous family he had. The residents of the mansion could be considered his family and that irked him a little bit
If he would kill him, Philip would let Mark kill him because that was his wish when he was still a child. It's still his wish until now, but he still wants to explore the world and Mana
It's a complicated situation for him
Although, if Mark would kill him, Philip's motto is that he would never go down without a fight. It's more fun to die that way, according to him
"Don't you want to hear my reasoning first?"
Tenshi asked in a calm tone. The scene right now looked like the parents is reprimanding their daughter, but the daughter is calm nad collected rather than afraid and cautious
"Even if you have a personal reason, you still broke the protocol and you will get punished for that"
Chris denied Tenshi's words and tried to threaten her. It was then that Philip interrupted the one-way conversation
He immediately used Origin Seeker towards Tenshi, even though she is slightly far away from him. He snapped his finger under the table which released an audible sound that reverberated throughout the room
At this point, Philip's vision and consciousness was sucked into a stream of kaleidoscopic hyperdrive through space
~~~
Suddenly, his vision appeared inside a church. The church was so big that it could fit hundreds of people. Even though the church is so big, Philip wasn't able to identify this church is across the world
"Let this baby have a good life!"
Philip then heard a deep voice of a priest as he lifted a blue-white haired baby with fair white skin into the air
The baby was just done being baptized by the priest. The family and visitors clapped as they gathered around the holy water used to baptized the baby. Jesus, who is on the cross at the wall that oversee the whole church witnessed it all
Then, a pillar of light came down from the roof, even though there's no hole or window present. The pillar of light is apparent that it's almost blinding
The baby suddenly floated off of the priest's hands and the family, visitors, and the priest took several steps backwards
The light intensified and blinded everyone inside the church. Philip could still see through the light because of his Definite Sight ability and closely watch the baby
A few moments later, the church crumbled and collapsed to the ground. The surroundings exploded and the debris flew everywhere, killing the family, visitors, and the priest
The bodies of the people went unnoticed because their bodies were obliterated
The pillar of light served as a bright beacon in the dark night. Even though the church is gone and reduced into rubble, Philip still can't identify their location
The baby turned and changed its position into a stand. The baby then underwent drastic change. To Philip, the baby was growing in a fast pace, like time was being fast forwarded
Arms and legs became grew, waist and chest were developed, the hair became shinier and longer, and the face was completed
Philip wasn't fazed by the little girl's naked body because that wasn't his problem at the moment, besides, the light was covering her body
It was then that eight white rings made of light manifested behind her. Two light rings also formed around her wrists and ankles. Her gamma blue eyes became white and a white halo manifested above her head
An explosion of white light then happened which signalled the birth of this individual, Tenshi. Her appearance is strangely the same as the present, an 18-year old looking girl
She was about to hover down on the ground when her eyes caught someone at the corner of her eyes. It was Philip, who was staring at her in a distance
Tenshi had a surprised look on her face and she seemed to tremble
"Oracle"
"Salvation"
Tenshi extended her right hand and pointed at Philip. A few moments later, she smiled to the brim and trembles once again
"I see"
Philip was confused as to what Tenshi was doing and he put his guard up. Once again, someone in the past has noticed his presence
He questioned whether the used of Origin Seeker makes it so that he is unseen in the past. Unless, powerful beings can see him like what Sai said way back
Nonetheless, he prepared himself at whatever happens and he will immediately leave
"The one chosen by Fate..."
Tenshi spoke in a serene voice which is aimed at Philip. He was surprised and widened his eyes as he looked at her with wariness
"Ah, you're not ready... I see... We'll see each other soon then"
Tenshi spoke with sadness. Philip was confused at her mysterious words
'What does she mean that I'm not ready?'
It was then that Tenshi spoke again, but this time, the voice is too holy and seemed to echo around the area
"Mortal, I am the God of Light and Divinity wants me to relay a message to you"
The voice was serene and devoid of any arrogance behind the voice, unlike other Gods that Philip met previously
Somewhere on Earth, and in other two worlds, one Goddess and two Gods sneezed simultaneously
Philip became even more confused and wary. The God of Light even manifested on Tenshi and a being called Divinity wants to give him a message
『 S̷̛͍̙̩̮̎͒̃͋́͆̄̇́͋͗̐͘̕͝ā̵̭͖̭̭͓̬̹̼̌̒̈͝ͅv̴̨̲͍͙̹̖̰͎͔͓̠͊͊̃̊̀͊̐̿̄̀͗͛͋̄̓͘͝͠e̶̡̢̡̢̬̮͓̲͕͚̬̥͚̩̦̬͕͇̮̊̃̄̈̑͋͒͋̈́̓̎͜͠ ̸̡̤̺̼̯͇̩̼͇͙͗́͒̃͊̐͋̒̎̎̍̀͑̀͑͋͑̐̈́͠ͅm̵̨͔̲̭̤̼̭̬̝̭̃̊͆̋̈́̈́̆̉͆̿͂̑̓̓͋̒͋̉̓͐͆͘͝ͅe̶̢̡̥̣͈̞͎̼̞̯̮̺͉͎͇̳͖͆͊̓͜͜ͅͅ 』
The voice change drastically into a corrupted and glitched voice. Philip didn't understand a single word that the voice said but he felt a deep sense of becoming a savior. He just couldn't pinpoint what
Tenshi's eyes then closed and all the rings of light behind her and around her wrists and ankles dispersed. Her body slolwy hovered down on the ground
The pillar of light coverged around her body and formed a white dress and blue ribbons. A pair of white angel wing clips also appeardd above her hair, next to her ears
Eventually, she landed on a flat ground and she laid down unconscious
Philip thought the Origin Seeker is over when the day and night cycle sped up. Philip counted the cycle and Tenshi has been lying down on the ground for exactly 18 years
As noon came, a group of explorers stumbled upon Tenshi and they called emergency
A rescue helicopter came flying in a few minutes later. Rescuers came down and placed Tenshi on a stretcher and placed her inside the helicopter and flew away
At that point, Philip learned their location because of the text printed at the side of the helicopter, as well as the facial features of the explorers and the rescuers
They were in Japan
~~~
Philip's consciousness was pulled back in the present after seeing the kaleidoscopic view around his vision
He returned at the table without anyone sensing any disturbance, except for Justine
She slightly turned her head towards Philip after sensing a specific energy signature and vector signature. She immediately tried to contemplate the energy and vector to learn what it is
Justine had a hunch that Philip used Fate Control or Origin Seeker after seeing the current situation in the room. She just wants to know what kind of energy and vector was generated from Philip using his abilities
At the moment of Philip's return, Tenshi, who was looking directly at Mark that has an angry look in his face, a glint of light sparked at the corner of her right eye
She abruptly turned her head at Philip with a very confused look. She then started to feel the trembling sensation in her body
Chris, Mark, and Elaine caught Tenshi's behavior and shifted their gaze between Philip and Tenshi
Tenshi then abruptly stood up, knocking down the comfortable chair behind her. She extended her right hand and aimed at Philip
Chris and Mark is confused and shocked. They knew what Tenshi is about to do and they needed to stop her
Before they could stop her, Tenshi already beat them to it as the room was filled with Divine Energy
Two rings of light manifested behind Tenshi and two rings of light formed around her right wrist
"Oracle"
"Salvation"
Everyone in the room, except Philip and Justine, was genuinely shocked and surprised. They didn't expect Tenshi to use two Heavenly Prayers at the same time
Chris immediately stood up and released his dreadful aura. It's already noon and his body was glowing with yellow light
Mark also stood up with deeply furrowed eyebrows. His eyes were extremely piercing and he's releasing a wrathful aura
Both of their auras seemed to be cancelling a portion of the Divine Energy circulating around the room, which is already an impressive feat
Celine was sitting back comfortably while looking at Tenshi with longing and calm eyes, Sheena was looking down while fiddling with her fingers from fear, and Elaine was also looking at Tenshi with very confused face
"Tenshi..."
"Explain yourself"
Chris and Mark spoke simultaneously
Before Tenshi could reply, a reel of vision and images passed through her eyes as she looked at Philip with piercing eyes and furrowed eyebrows while aiming her right hand
A tear flowed down her right eye after a few seconds. She then closed her eyes and placed her right hand to her side
The rings of light behind her and around her wrist has dispersed. She crouched down behind her and picked up the chair to sit back down. Chris and Mark are still standing while staring at her
"I met him when I was born and he is under the protection of the God of Light. Is that enough for an explanation?"
Tenshi voiced out while crossing her arms and looking away from everyone. She pouted her cheeks while pouting
Everyone once again was genuinely shocked from Tenshi's words. Their eyes widened as they shifted their gazes between Philip and Tenshi
Even Philip was surprised. It was a given that Tenshi would found out that she met him in the past because of Origin Seeker, but he wasn't aware that he is under the God of Light's protection
Chris and Mark's auras disappeared as they looked at Philip with discerning eyes. Mark became extremely suspicious
'If Tenshi met Philip when she was born, how could have that happened unless Philip had another ability that allowed him to travel back to past'
'But that's impossible because a human can't harness the power of the variables of the universe at this point in time, like time, space, and gravity'
'Is he a God? No, that's also impossible'
Mark's brain was in a storm while making deductions and hypothesis. He and Chris then sat down, crossed their arms, and closed their eyes
At this point, no one could ask anything further from Tenshi's answer because it was too straight forward. They could ask about how she met Philip when she was born but Tenshi looked like she won't entertain any question. Regarding the God of Light, they can't know because he is a mysterious being and they only believe in one God or no God
Sheena looked around the room in a panic because of the tense atmosphere in the room. She wanted to start speaking and twll her ability to Philip to remove the tense atmosphere
"I-I'm Sheena and my ability is Touch Upgrade!"
