Aphrodite sees what Ragna sees, seeing his mind as Ragna has those future visions.
"( Such wildfire, I never thought a mortal would be given this kind of Gift? )" Aphrodite felt horrified seeing what Hunter Ignis had become.
"( Just who the hell of us gave him such a dangerous Gift? this.., monstrous? )" Aphrodite wonders as she sees it, wondering which of her Divine brethren gave Ignis his Gift Powers.
"( Hunter Park's Gift is 'Ignite Flare'... )" Ragna says as he telepathically talks with Aphrodite.
"( Wait, you can do Telepath now? )" she asks.
"( Twelve and 69 taught me, inside the System Space, goddess. )"
"( I this is merely just a
"( That Ragna from the 12th Timeline, still had many arsenals hidden, didn't he? )" she says but she uses her divine powers to make what she thinks to herself, preventing Ragna from hearing her mind.
"( His
"( For the path ahead had also made me curious and confused at the same time. )"
"( Since there are many important players in this Main Event, more than what I calculated before... )"
"( To think, that someone as flammable as Ignis would also survive and become such an important asset, I thought he's only a raging bull that will die when fighting a larger predator. )"
"( But guess I'm dead wrong! )" she now knows how obscure the future is and then looks back at Ragna who still had his Twelve Eye activated and talks with the other.
"( No wonder the boy is able to survive, he himself is the future we had. )"
"( Slippery bastard Ragna Twelve, I now know why those of us, still loyal to the Creator say that you and the other you's will be the one who helps us the most. )" Aphrodite says while looking at Ragna Current, knowing how much help that he gave towards them despite still having problems.
"( Even before entering the Tower, there are many dangers that slip through us. )" Aphrodite says as she remembers seeing Ragna fight with that Holy Priestess before entering the Tower*.
As she thinks about it, Ragna then tells all of them that while they still have time to prepare, he thinks they should undergo some training first too, just like him.
" Galen, are you already healed? " Ragna asks.
" Of course, Ragna. " Galen says as he can feel his body better.
" You seemed to ask me with a lot of confidence like you're ready for something... "
" Do you want to learn martial arts from me again? " Galen immediately asks, asking Ragna if he wishes to continue his Ki training that had been interrupted back then.
" Of course, but I think it's time to not only start from the beginning and just speed things up to a better stage. "
" For this time, I need to also learn how to properly cultivate the Ki, inside my body. "
" Will you be able to teach me? " Ragna asks which shocks Galen.
" About that, do you remember that the Gift Core I had will...? "
" I'll help you with that! " Ragna quickly answers as he then shows him his Aether Aura, shocking both Galen and the others.
"( This aura of his... )"
" It's the Aether, I gained this power after obtaining the sword, from the *'Ruin of Swords'. " Ragna says as he looks at Inquisitor Kara as she also immediately remembers that Ragna was there.
" Wait, so back then... "
" The reason why you're able to kill 'Ripper Jack' and fight both of us back then was...? "
" Yes, Inquisitor. "
" This is the power that Twelve told to able fight the Divine and Deviant powers alike. "
" An unnatural power source said to be another sub-power source derivative from 'Mana'. " Ragna told them.
" Mana? " Inquisitor Kara and Battle Maiden ask which shocks them.
" Isn't that? "
" Yes, you guys know about Magic, right? " Ragna asks them, recounting the women's job with the Divine, so they of all others should know first about this, that's why the two immediately went silent.
" Yes, this 'Aether' is also one kind of those you called Magic. "
" For this magic gained through so many deaths, that's what Twelve and 69 told me during training back then. " Ragna explains as he then looks at Galen.
" With the 'Aether' active in my body, I was able to not just suppress, but also combat the Yakan Curse's power, preventing it from 'preventing me' as I gained more power over time. " Ragna explains with his words of explanation, making it sound logical as possible as he then offers to Galen.
" Galen, would you like to also learn the 'Aether' from me? " Ragna asks him.
" While you teach me the Ki, I can also teach you of the Aether in order to combat your Gift Core's function to prevent Ki into your internal body. " Ragna says which shocks Galen as he hears it.
" Prevent the Gift Core's function to prevent Ki? " Galen asks as he thinks about this opportunity he was given, he never expect such a thing to come.
" So you mean, with the help of the 'Aether', I could also cultivate the Ki inside my body too. "
" Yes, thanks to the Aether since it can 'combat' the Gift Core's security thing. " Ragna respond, recounting again that a person's Gift Core can destroy any other power source such as Mana and Ki from entering one's body but it was different for the Aether.
" So what do you say, Galen? "
" Should we go on? " Ragna asks which made Galen smile as he thinks about it, as one who still trains the cultivation martial arts using Ki like those ancient warriors, Galen definitely wants to do it properly again like those ancients while he still knows the basic manuals inside his brains, being taught by a family that still learn and use the Ki.
" So it can enable me to cultivate Ki inside my body, again? "
" Like the ancient warriors... " Galen says as he was filled with excitement, knowing that he will now have the chance to use the Ki like the ancient warriors, which is impossible for him to think about it back then.
" Fine then, Ragna... "
" We still had many times, don't we, thanks to Hunter Ignis? " Galen asks and Ragna just smirks confirming it, while offering his hand.
" Okay then... " Galen immediately agrees as he shakes Ragna's hand and smiles.
"Let's begin! " he says while the others just look at the two as they still had things to think about this.
"( The 'Aether', huh? )" Kara and Battle Maiden say in their mind.
