So I'm a sheep.

"Although I still don't feel the limit, I think it's because I haven't reached the upper limit of a legion commander yet."

"I'm not thinking about things too far ahead. The important thing is to focus on improving my strength while completing the tasks ahead."

"..."

When do we depart?

Looking at Sasha, both sisters showed reluctance.

"Haha, he is, after all, a dignified legion commander. He must make proper arrangements for all military affairs before he is away for an extended period of time."

"There are still more than half a year left, so let's get together more often when we have time."

After the three angels reunited after a long time, Sasha had an audience with the Holy Angel the next day.

There was nothing she could do; Lucifer's words urging her to "go further" kept echoing in her mind, and the girl didn't sleep well all night.

Instead of overthinking, why not consult Prince Hill?

"Sasha, your face looks 'worried' all over. Are you worried about the mission ahead?"

"No, Your Highness, I would like to ask you some questions."

"Ok?"

"..."

After a moment's hesitation, the girl pointed to herself: "Your Highness, what do you think of my appearance? Do I have even a hint of... a hint of the noble air of a holy angel?"

..........................................

"What does it mean to have the noble air of a holy angel?"

Hill was both amused and exasperated: "Do I have that kind of thing on my face? Sasha, describe it to me."

"Yeah, that's it, that feeling that's really unique and different from others."

"Alright, alright, what you really want to ask yourself is whether it's possible to break through to the Saint rank, right?"

The girl chuckled foolishly.

"All I know is that with that Infinite Seed, Sasha, you'll most likely be able to break through."

"Other methods..."

"I'm afraid you'll have to ask the Mother Goddess yourself."

Hill thought for a moment and said, "The Mother Goddess also attaches great importance to the Demon Kings' Abyss Plan."

“Sasha, if you can complete the task beautifully, I can try my best to get you a chance to meet the Mother Goddess.”

Hmm, should we just ask the great goddess directly?

Seeing the girl's obvious unease, Hill smiled and comforted her, "The Mother Goddess is the mother of all angels, and Sasha, you are also a child of the Mother Goddess, so there is no need to worry."

"Besides, some legion commanders have asked you the same question before."

what?

Sasha was startled and quickly asked, "Your Highness, has the Great Goddess given those legion commanders directions?"

Volume 1: Chapter 497 (Medium Meaning)

"If there is a path ahead, the Mother Goddess will provide guidance."

Hill sighed, "Even with the guidance of the Mother Goddess, the realm that is difficult to reach is still difficult to reach."

"Sasha, I suppose you've already realized that the gap in strength between you and those veteran legion commanders isn't that big."

Indeed, the girl was quite puzzled when she first realized Savannah's true strength.

Based on her past experience, the higher the angel's rank, the greater the difference in strength between angels of the same rank.

Logically speaking, a veteran legion commander like Savanna, who has spent many years in the past, should have an overwhelming advantage when facing a newcomer like herself.

But in fact...

'I can win!'

After they actually fought, Sasha became certain that she could defeat Savanna if she went all out, which was very strange.

"Your Highness, the seniors don't seem to be as strong as I previously imagined. Why is that?"

"When they reach that level, they might encounter a bottleneck and then be unable to make any progress for thousands of years."

Hill explained, "That's why their strength isn't that much different from yours. While your predecessors were stuck with small bottlenecks, you, Sasha, were accelerating your progress."

"Right now, you can be said to be on the same level, but in less than a thousand years, Sasha, you will be significantly stronger than them."

"..."

“I’ve thought this for a long time—Saliye might be the first angel to reach the limit of a legion commander.”

The first angel to reach the Legion Commander cap, which means...

'If even the predecessors couldn't reach the level of a legion commander, then what's the point of the great goddess pointing out the path ahead for them?'

The theoretically achievable upper limit is actually unattainable.

A realm that is theoretically unattainable is even more of a mirage!

'It's a cruel reality.'

.................................................

Time flies, and the time for parting has arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Squad leader, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself."

"The next time I see you, I will have completely caught up with you."

Lucifer said confidently, "Then we'll truly see who's the better player!"

Hey, I thought my relationship with the class monitor had subtly changed.

Now that I hear her say this, I feel like things have gone back to the way they were before.

"..."

However, it was a very class monitor-style speech, and there was nothing to complain about.

"Sister, you really shouldn't say such harsh things at a time like this. You should be more gentle."

"W-what?!"

Lucifer awkwardly replied, "Sister, you can say the gentle words."

"All I can say is what I just said... Ughhhh, why are you still standing there? Get back to the mission and finish it!"

"Haha, your sister is shy. Well, Sasha, when you get somewhere else, take care of your diet and make sure you get enough sleep. We're all waiting for you to come back."

"it is good!"

The girl waved to the two angels, then perked up and flew toward the central temple.

"Great goddess, Sasha is ready!"

"Then let's go."

"..."

Ee-ee-ee!

Before Sasha could recover from her daze, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Biu～～

With a deafening roar, an angel descended from the sky, creating a large crater in the forest.

"cough cough"

"My lord, I... I'm actually not quite mentally prepared."

Sasha climbed out of the pit, covered in dust. As she dusted herself off and pondered her next move, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose within her.

Miracle Light - Activated!

...............................................

Above the heavens, the supreme god Ain rose up suddenly.

In the countless years since the world was locked down, this deity has never been as panicked as he is today.

"The tablet of destiny has cracked, why, why!"

"Is this a sign of the world's destruction? Or is it a sign of my impending demise?"

Ain immediately turned his gaze to that filthy and evil place. If there was one place most likely to cause turmoil in the world, it would naturally be the abyss!

The demon lords gaze greedily at the material world, occasionally tempting corrupted rulers to build passages for their own descent.

'...'

'The Tablet of Fate is not reacting; it's not the lords causing trouble.'

'The will of the abyss also remained unchanged. How strange.'

After a moment of contemplation, Ain turned his gaze to the material world.

War, destruction, deception; peace, protection, integrity.

Yes, the material world is as wonderful as ever, but there are no abnormalities either.

Subconsciously rubbing the clay tablet of fate, Ain's expression suddenly turned sinister.

It is neither an abyss nor the material world...

'Hmph, is there a deity coveting my power, and has taken some rather terrible actions?'

How despicable! How hateful!

The kingdoms of the gods are like independent little worlds. Even if one holds the Tablets of Destiny, one cannot spy on what the gods do in their own kingdoms without disturbing them.

If the culprit cannot be identified in a short time, a major operation may be necessary.

'...'
