Chapter 913: The lost child

As the Empress approached the statue of the great Archangel, she felt a wave of reverence wash over her. The statue towered above her, its majestic presence filling the room. She took a deep breath, steadying herself, and bowed before the statue, her head lowered in respect.

She pulled out a sword, remembering what she had to do for an audience with the Lords above. "Great Archangels," she spoke with a voice filled with sincerity. "I stand before you as the new Empress of the Elzeiran Dynasty. I come seeking your guidance and blessings at this critical time."

As she finished speaking, she swung her sword, killing herself. Her blood fell at the feet of the majestic statue, painting it red. Meanwhile, the woman fell on the ground, her head rolling next to her body. The blood that had been spilled was absorbed by the statue. The head also turned into specks of light that were soon absorbed by the Statue. An ethereal light began to emanate from the statue. The room seemed to come alive with a gentle energy, as if the Archangels were acknowledging her presence.

Fortunately, her healing also began. Unlike her brother, she still possessed her immortality. Hence, her body recovered at a pace clearly visible to the eye. After a few seconds, the girl opened her eyes. She had trained her healing many times, but the death she experienced here was nothing like before. Even her healing was much faster than before, which shocked her. Was it because she had become the Empress?

Back in the Royal Palace, the Statue momentarily closed his eyes, before opening them again.

"What you had to find... had come to you," the voice of Archangel appeared in the Empress' head. "You had an opportunity... But you failed. You have disappointed us. The Forgotten Prince... is here."

"The Forgotten Prince?" the Empress asked in confusion. "Are you talking about the Child, to find whom we destroyed the Celestial Empire?"

"He came here? How could that be?" she muttered. To find that child, they had searched all around this world. They had destroyed the Celestial Empire after the Emperor failed to hand over the child to the Archangels. Unfortunately, even as they destroyed the Celestial Empire, they failed to find the child anywhere. Ever since, they had been looking for him. The only reason they were trying to invade the other world was because they believed the child was there! It was the Celestial Emperor who had sealed this world after all. They believed that the child was in the other universe, but they couldn't enter that universe because of the Celestial Emperor's Seal. Ever since then, they had been trying to destroy the seal, but it was protected by Aliac in the Central World which they couldn't enter.
