Hearing all of those, I was quite shocked to be honest because I didn't really expect all of this.
It all makes sense why the world was in chaos right now, all because the Goddess Enous is missing as she was the light. Which makes me wonder who represents the dark? Would it be the demon lord?
Because that was always the case if this was anime or any of the games that I played. The one that portrays evil was also the demon lord. But could a demon lord kill a Goddess? Most demon lords wouldn't have that much power unless they obtain divinity itself.
Still, there's no proof to back my theory as even the angels that Aniele mentioned don't know who the culprit is yet.
Maybe that's part of why I was being sent here in the first place, to eliminate that source of darkness before it gets stronger.
"You're the only one that could save the world…" I still could remember those words clearly before I transmigrated into this world.
If I recall correctly the female voice does say that she's summoning me with her remaining power. Aniele did say before that only a goddess could allow people to be transmigrated between worlds so that might be the Goddess Enous after all.
It also explains why I did not possess much power even after being summoned here by the goddess itself. Since Goddess Enous was using her remaining power to summon and couldn't grant me any more power as it must have been depleted or she must have been killed by then.
…
I share this theory of mine to Aniele to see whether she proves that the one that summoned me here was indeed the Goddess Enous herself.
But Aniele didn't know anything… She responds that she herself never met the Goddess as only the top five angels could meet her. That was Eve, Seraphina, Mariee, Rosa and Erela. Thus she couldn't be sure whether the voice that I heard was indeed the voice of the Goddess herself.
"Wait? There's a ranking among the angels, I thought you guys were created equally so how can there's a ranking here and what yours?" I said that as I was quite surprised by it.
"Not in terms of power, each of the angels had a different power level and thus that ranking was created. The one who made it was of course the Goddess herself… About my ranking, I was in the last rankings among the other 15 angels." Aniele explained that to me.
Knowing that, I now know why Aniele doesn't have any idea what's happening because she's the last rank angel after all.
"I see but what would you do now? Couldn't you return back to the heavenly realm." I ask that question as if she could, there's no reason for her to be here anymore.
But of course I already knew her answer already. She can't do that because if she could, Aniele would already return to the heavenly realm back in the temple. Though there's nothing wrong in asking, she could just forget about it…
"I have tried but it seems like my power was lost somehow…" She paused for a moment, her face still expressing fear. "I don't know what is happening at all… I just-"
I immediately held her hands, "You wouldn't need to worry, I am here with you and there's no way I am going to abandon you like that… We are in this situation together and the both of us will figure it out on what's happening at this moment." I said that to reassure her that everything is going to be fine.
I just hope that my power is still there or we would be in trouble… but of course I can't say that now as that would just make Aniele even more scared of what would happen to us.
It's weird for an angel to be expressing that feeling as I thought that someone in the heavenly plane wouldn't be having that kind of fear or at least any emotion like us. I guess I was wrong as angels are pretty much similar to us human beings after all.

A few minutes afterwards after she had calmed down for a bit, I asked her what she wanted to do for now as we couldn't stay here for that long.
I also told her about my intention and that was to go into the front lines, as this was kinda my second chance at redeeming myself on not being able to support Riku… and for sure she also had died after I got squashed by a demon before.
I do not know whether I am powerful enough to stop those demons but at least I could warn them about the incoming danger. So that Captain Kaze could order his soldiers to attack the demons at that time. But of course that would be a problem as well because I realize that entering the Exiana Army wouldn't be an easy task as I do not have permission to enter unlike before.
So meeting Captain Kaze would pose a problem for sure and even if I could be granted an audience with the Captain. The chances of him believing me would be really low, as I am nobody.
Of course there's another problem as well, that was about the location of the Exiana Army. It's quite far from here… If I was late to arrive at that place, for sure Riku would be killed and the army encampment might already get destroyed by the demons.
I only have a few days before that event happens so I would need to find something that I could travel with… a carriage or a horse. Because if I just walk to that place, there's no way I could make it on time.
But no matter what, I must prevent Riku from getting killed or even be in that position like before. Not now that I have the chance to change the outcome…
