(Please forgive my impudence for not recognizing your esteemed guest, Celestial one.)
Once the commotion subsided on its own, everyone's attention was drawn to the unrecognizable voice that sounded more humane for some reason.
Turning their gazes, they were greeted by Alphis, who had taken on a humanoid jelly form and was respectfully bowing in the direction of the cloaked trio, or more specifically, the grey-cloaked woman - Sarah.
(Hmph. Don't worry, it's my decision to blend into the audience. It's not your fault. As for the insolence of this ignorant wastes, fufufu, it seems they are getting more and more brazen as time progresses. Or perhaps the current lower realms are filled with deflated balloons.) Sarah snorted and casually responded in disdain.
Upon hearing her contemptuous words, the crowd lowered their heads in shame. Some even shot a resentful glare at the mayor for putting them in this awkward situation.
(Anyway, we are not here to condemn the deflated balloons. Oh! Ara, please excuse my rude remark. Instead, I'm here to watch over my precious children who are here to undergo primeval analysis. Sora, since it's your turn, let's get it done with.) Sarah nonchalantly said and nudged Sora to step forward.
Meanwhile, everyone's expressions are indescribable. Only one phrase rang in their heads simultaneously, [Arrogance, this is what true arrogance meant. An arrogance that comes with absolute strength.]
Even Void gazed at his aunt with incredulity, [Holy damn, my aunt is the epitome of awesomeness,] he thought with glistening stars in his unseen eyes..
While the crowd was stupefied, including the Alphis, Sora rose from her seat and activated her flight mode, gracefully gliding towards the grand podium.
Seeing the white-cloaked child drifting onto the podium, everyone snapped out of their stupification and shifted their complete focus towards her. After all, Sora is the child of an entity with a heavenly title, an existence they didn't even have the right to gaze at. Consequently, the crowd, whether aristocrats or commoners, is curious and excited to witness this irreversible moment of her starting journey.
(So, that's the unfortunate child of the lunar goddess. What a pity, if only things hadn't turned out the way they did. Perhaps the little girl could have been enjoying her life in that utopia-like place instead of being banished to this forsaken planet.) Glancing at the white-cloaked child, the old man sighed, lamenting the girl's unfortunate circumstances.
(Unfortunate? Hmm, Uncle, could that child possibly be a soul ability user?) Azul questioned with uncertainty as he listened to the old man's mumbling.
In response, the old man named Cave shook his head and replied, (No, I don't know. Matters concerning 'them' are not something anyone can investigate. Perhaps only the patriarch is qualified to know such secretives.)
(Interesting, who are 'they'?)
(Hehe. It appears that my decision to stay here and evaluate the talents of this era was not a wrong choice after all,) Azul chuckled with anticipation..
⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪
Sora landed on the grand podium, positioned just 4 inches away from the rainbow-colored crystal ball, and stood there nervously.
"(Please touch the crystal ball)," the Alphis, who had transformed back into an alien-like shape, vocalized robotically.
(Ye-s,) feeling every gaze locked onto her, Sora's paranoia returned after a brief pause. She slowly raised her pristine fingers and traced them towards the crystal ball, finally touching it.
In that moment, a rainbow-colored program [primeval program] seeped into her fingers, instantly enveloping her petite body.
Sora's body was lifted into the air, her surrounding ether now camouflaged in a myriad colors of elements. However, nothing else occurred.
The primeval program only entered her physical system and did not seem to have seeped into her spiritual system, where the origin component - the soul - resides.
Upon seeing this, a collective frown appeared on everyone's faces.
(What happened? Did the primeval analysis malfunction?) someone questioned in confusion.
(It's highly unlikely! The nexus system is the acme of perfection. And analysis towers are an integral part of its database. It isn't possible for an error to appear in its original links,) another reflexively refuted.
Meanwhile, the Alphis' alien-like features contracted into an unusual frown. Stating that, the current situation was unexpected for it to.
Suddenly, the rainbow-colored program shrouding Sora transformed into a pure white program, eliciting a sweet moan from her cloaked figure. (haaaa).
The pure-white program instantly flared, seeping into her being at an incredible rate. The acceleration shredded her white cloak, hiding her features, to shreds, revealing her otherworldly cuteness. It even tried to shred her celestial white gown, but alas, the dress is an armament of quintessential quality. Thus, withstanding the torrential seeping of the pure-white primeval program.
To this surprising turn of events, everyone watched in perplexity. However, the moment Sora's features were unveiled, all who gazed at her unassailable countenance were plunged into a white-blank state, reflecting her charm that reached extreme perfection.
Overflowing sacred white hair, untainted pure-white eyes, an unimaginable celestial face that is the perfection of cuteness, and lastly, a pristine skin that's no longer just pure white. Just viewing her childlike beauty shook the very soul of everyone present, regardless of their mental fortitude or psychic force. None could ever be immune to her charm, as if she is the most sacred existence that could ever be exist.
⚪⚪⚪⚪
Meanwhile, Sora found herself immersed in a holy-white realm. Everything surrounding her was white, a white that couldn't be whiter.
She was immersed in a boundless feeling of inexplicability, as if she were the only source of light in an endless void of darkness.
She didn't experience anything like her existence ceasing to animate, as if nothing could ever be worthy to assess her concept.
Subsequently, outside of her perception, an ether panel made of white letters became visible in the Hall.
